2 Kings 5
1 And Naaman, head of the host of the king of Aram, was a great man before his lord, and accepted of face, for YHWH had given salvation to Aram by him, and the man was mighty in valor, [but] leprous.
Na rĩrĩ, Naamani aarĩ mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Suriata. Aarĩ mũndũ mũnene maitho-inĩ ma mwathi wake na aarĩ mũndũ watĩĩkĩte mũno, tondũ Jehova nĩamũhũthĩrĩte kũhe andũ a Suriata ũhootani. Aarĩ mũthigari njamba, no aarĩ na mangũ.
2 And the Arameans have gone out [by] troops, and they take a little girl captive out of the land of Israel, and she is before the wife of Naaman,
Na rĩrĩ, mbũtũ cia Suriata nĩciathiĩte nja na igataha mũirĩtu mũnini kuuma Isiraeli, nake aatungatagĩra mũtumia wa Naamani.
3 and she says to her mistress, “O that my lord [were] before the prophet who [is] in Samaria; then he recovers him from his leprosy.”
Nake mũirĩtu ũcio akĩĩra mwathi wake mũndũ-wa-nja atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo mwathi wakwa Naamani no one mũnabii ũrĩa ũrĩ Samaria! No amũhonie mangũ make.”
4 And [one] goes in and declares [it] to his lord, saying, “Thus and thus the girl who [is] from the land of Israel has spoken.”
Naamani agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki mwathi wake na akĩmwĩra ũrĩa mũirĩtu ũcio woimĩte Isiraeli oigĩte.
5 And the king of Aram says, “Go, enter, and I send a letter to the king of Israel”; and he goes and takes in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand [pieces] of gold, and ten changes of garments.
Nake mũthamaki ũcio wa Suriata akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Geria ũthiĩ. Nĩngũtũmĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli marũa.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Naamani akiumagara na agĩkuua taranda ikũmi cia betha, na cekeri 6,000 cia thahabu, na nguo cia magarũrĩra ikũmi.
6 And he brings in the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “And now, at the coming in of this letter to you, behold, I have sent my servant Naaman to you, and you have recovered him from his leprosy.”
Marũa marĩa atwarĩire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli maandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Nĩndatũma ndungata yakwa Naamani na marũa maya kũrĩ we, nĩgeetha ũmũhonie mangũ make.”
7 And it comes to pass, at the king of Israel’s reading the letter, that he tears his garments and says, “Am I God, to put to death and to keep alive, that this [one] is sending to me to recover a man from his leprosy? For surely know now, and see, for he is presenting himself to me.”
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aathomire marũa macio-rĩ, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ Ngai? Ndaahota kũũraga na gũcookia muoyo rĩngĩ? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũndũ ũyũ atũme mũndũ kũrĩ niĩ atĩ ahonio mangũ make? Ta kĩone, arageria kũnjũgita!”
8 And it comes to pass, at Elisha the man of God’s hearing that the king of Israel has torn his garments, that he sends to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your garments? Please let him come to me, and he knows that there is a prophet in Israel.”
Rĩrĩa Elisha mũndũ wa Ngai aiguire atĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩatembũrangĩte nguo ciake-rĩ, akĩmũtũmĩra ndũmĩrĩri ĩno: “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũtembũrange nguo ciaku? Reke mũndũ ũcio oke kũrĩ niĩ, na nĩekũmenya atĩ nĩ kũrĩ mũnabii thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.”
9 And Naaman comes, with his horses and with his chariot, and stands at the opening of the house for Elisha;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Naamani agĩthiĩ hamwe na mbarathi ciake na ngaari cia ita o nginya mũromo-inĩ wa nyũmba ya Elisha.
10 and Elisha sends a messenger to him, saying, “Go, and you have washed seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh turns back to you—and be clean.”
Nake Elisha akĩmũtũmĩra mũndũ amwĩre atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ wĩthambe maita mũgwanja rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani, na mwĩrĩ waku nĩũkũhonio, na nĩũgũthera.”
11 And Naaman is angry, and goes on and says, “Behold, I said, He certainly comes out to me, and has stood and called in the Name of his God YHWH, and waved his hand over the place, and recovered the leper.
No Naamani agĩthiĩ arakarĩte, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngwĩciiragia atĩ ti-itherũ mũnabii nĩekuuma nja oke kũrĩ niĩ, na arũgame akaĩre rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wake, acooke athũngũthie guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa handũ hau harũaru, aahonie mangũ.
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Do I not wash in them and I have been clean?” And he turns and goes on in fury.
Githĩ njũũĩ cia Dameski, na Abana, o na Faripari ti njega gũkĩra maaĩ o mothe ma Isiraeli? Githĩ ndingĩĩthambire thĩinĩ wacio therio?” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ arakarĩte mũno.
13 And his servants come near, and speak to him, and say, “My father, the prophet had spoken a great thing to you—do you not do [it]? And surely, when he has said to you, Wash, and be clean.”
Ndungata cia Naamani igĩthiĩ harĩ we ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithe witũ, korwo mũnabii akwĩrire wĩke ũndũ mũnene gũkĩra ũyũ-rĩ, githĩ ndũngĩwĩkire? Githĩ to wĩke makĩria ũndũ ũyũ aakwĩra, ‘Wĩthambe, ũtherio!’”
14 And he goes down and dips in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh turns back as the flesh of a little youth, and is clean.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Naamani agĩikũrũka, agĩĩtobokia Jorodani maita mũgwanja, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ wa Ngai aamwĩrĩte, naguo mwĩrĩ wake ũkĩhona, ũgĩthera ũkĩhaana ta wa kaana kanini.
15 And he turns back to the man of God, he and all his camp, and comes in, and stands before him, and says, “Now behold, I have known that there is not a God in all the earth except in Israel; and now, please take a blessing from your servant.”
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Naamani na arĩa othe maamũteithagia magĩcooka kũrĩ mũndũ wa Ngai. Nake akĩrũgama mbere yake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩndamenya atĩ gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ thĩ yothe tiga gũkũ Isiraeli. Ndagũthaitha wĩtĩkĩre kuoya kĩheo kuuma kũrĩ ndungata yaku.”
16 And he says, “YHWH lives, before whom I have stood—if I take [it]”; and he presses on him to take, and he refuses.
Nake mũnabii akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova ũrĩa ndungatagĩra atũũraga muoyo-rĩ, niĩ ndingĩĩtĩkĩra kuoya kĩndũ o na kĩ.” Na rĩrĩ, o na gũtuĩka Naamani nĩamũringĩrĩirie mũno-rĩ, nĩaregire.
17 And Naaman says, “If not, please let a couple of mules’ burden of earth be given to your servant, for your servant makes no more burnt-offering and sacrifice to other gods, but [only sacrifices] to YHWH.
Nake Naamani akiuga atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo ndũngĩoya-rĩ, ndagũthaitha ũreke niĩ ndungata yaku heo tĩĩri ũrĩa wothe ũngĩkuuo nĩ nyũmbũ igĩrĩ, nĩgũkorwo ndungata yaku ndĩrĩ hĩndĩ ĩgacooka kũruta maruta ma njino kana magongona kũrĩ ngai ĩngĩ, tiga o Jehova.
18 For in this thing may YHWH be propitious to your servant, in the coming in of my lord into the house of Rimmon to bow himself there, and he was supported by my hand, and I bowed myself [in] the house of Rimmon; for my bowing myself in the house of Rimmon, may YHWH now be propitious to your servant in this thing.”
No rĩrĩ, Jehova arorekera ndungata yaku ũndũ-inĩ o ũyũ ũmwe: Rĩrĩa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa arĩĩtoonyaga hekarũ ya Rimoni amĩinamĩrĩre etiranĩtie na guoko gwakwa, na niĩ nyinamĩrĩre ho-rĩ, rĩrĩa ngainamĩrĩra ndĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Rimoni, Jehova arorekera ndungata yaku nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩka ũguo.”
19 And he says to him, “Go in peace.” And he goes from him a distance of land,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ na thayũ.” Thuutha wa Naamani gũkorwo athiĩte itĩĩna-rĩ,
20 and Gehazi, servant of Elisha the man of God, says, “Behold, my lord has spared this Aramean Naaman, not to receive from his hand that which he brought; for YHWH lives; if I have run after him, then I have taken something from him.”
Gehazi, ndungata ya Elisha mũndũ wa Ngai, agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa nĩahũthĩria Naamani ũcio Mũsuriata maũndũ nĩ kũrega kwamũkĩra indo iria ekũmũreheire. Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo-rĩ, niĩ nĩ ngũhanyũka ndĩmũkinyĩre nĩguo njoe kĩndũ kuuma harĩwe.”
21 And Gehazi pursues after Naaman, and Naaman sees one running after him, and comes down off the chariot to meet him, and says, “Is there peace?”
Tondũ ũcio Gehazi akĩhiũha nĩguo akinyĩre Naamani. Rĩrĩa Naamani aamuonire ahanyũkĩte arorete na kũrĩ we-rĩ, akiuma ngaari-inĩ ya ita nĩguo amũtũnge. Akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ mothe nĩ mega?”
22 And he says, “Peace; my lord has sent me, saying, Behold, now, this, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; please give a talent of silver and two changes of garments to them.”
Nake Gehazi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, maũndũ mothe nĩ mega. Mwathi wakwa aandũma ngwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Aanake eerĩ kuuma thiritũ-inĩ ya anabii mooka kũrĩ niĩ o rĩu, moimĩte bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu. Ndagũthaitha ũmahe taranda ĩmwe ya betha, na nguo cia magarũrĩra meerĩ.’”
23 And Naaman says, “Be pleased, take two talents”; and he urges him, and binds two talents of silver in two purses, and two changes of garments, and gives [them] to two of his young men, and they carry [them] before him;
Nake Naamani akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra woe taranda igĩrĩ.” Agĩthaitha Gehazi aciĩtĩkĩre, ningĩ akĩoha taranda igĩrĩ cia thahabu agĩciĩkĩra mĩhuko-inĩ ĩĩrĩ hamwe na nguo cia magarũrĩra meerĩ. Nake akĩnengera ndungata ciake igĩrĩ, igĩkuua, igĩthiĩ mbere ya Gehazi.
24 and he comes to the high place, and takes [them] out of their hand, and lays [them] up in the house, and sends the men away, and they go.
Rĩrĩa Gehazi aakinyire kĩrĩma-inĩ, agĩĩtia ndungata indo icio, agĩciiga nyũmba. Nake akiugĩra ndungata icio ũhoro, nacio igĩĩthiĩra.
25 And he has come in, and stands by his lord, and Elisha says to him, “From where—Gehazi?” And he says, “Your servant did not go here or there.”
Thuutha ũcio agĩtoonya nyũmba akĩrũgama mbere ya mwathi wake Elisha. Nake Elisha akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Gehazi uuma kũ?” Nake Gehazi akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata yaku ndĩrĩ kũndũ ĩgũthiĩte.”
26 And he says to him, “My heart did not go when the man turned from off his chariot to meet you; is it a time to take silver, and to take garments, and olives, and vines, and flock, and herd, and menservants, and maidservants?
Nowe Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ roho wakwa nduuma hamwe nawe rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio oimire ngaari-inĩ ya ita agũtũnge? Nĩ ihinda rĩa kuoya mbeeca, kana kwamũkĩra nguo, na mĩgũnda ya mĩtamaiyũ na ya mĩthabibũ, na ndũũru cia mbũri na ngʼombe, na ndungata cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja?
27 Indeed, the leprosy of Naaman cleaves to you and to your seed for all time”; and he goes out from before him—leprous as snow.
Mangũ ma Naamani nĩwe mekwĩgwatĩrĩra na njiaro ciaku nginya tene.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Gehazi akĩehera harĩ Elisha arĩ na mangũ na akerũha, akahaana o ta ira.
