2 Kings 5
1 Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the LORD had given victory to Aram: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
Na'aman, Kongen af Arams Hærfører, havde meget at sige hos sin Herre og var højt agtet; thi ved ham havde HERREN givet Aramæerne Sejr; men Manden var spedalsk.
2 The Arameans had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman's wife.
Nu havde Aramæerne engang på et Strejtog røvet en lille Pige i Israels Land; hun var kommet i Tjeneste hos Na'amans Hustru,
3 She said to her mistress, "I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria. Then he would heal him of his leprosy."
og hun sagde til sin Frue: "Gid min Herre var hos Profeten i Samaria; han vilde sikkert skille ham af med hans Spedalskhed!"
4 Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, "The maiden who is from the land of Israel said this."
Så kom Na'aman og fortalte sin Herre, hvad Pigen fra Israels Land havde sagt.
5 The king of Aram said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
Da sagde Arams Konge: "Rejs derhen! Jeg skal sende etBrevmed til Israels Konge!" Så rejste han og tog ti Talenter Sølv, 6000 Sekel Guld og ti Sæt Festklæder med.
6 He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, "Now when this letter has come to you, look, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy."
Og han overbragte IsraelsKonge Brevet. Deri stod der: "Når dette Brev kommer dig i Hænde, skal du vide, at jeg sender min Tjener Na'aman til dig, for at du skal skille ham af med hans Spedalskhed!"
7 It happened, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me."
Da Israels Konge havde læst Brevet, sønderrev han sine klæder og sagde: "Er jeg Gud, så jeg råder over Liv og Død, siden han skriver til mig, at jeg skal skille en Mand afmed hans Spedalskhed Nej, I kan da se, at han søger Lejlighed til Strid med mig!"
8 It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel."
Men da den Guds Mand Elisa hørte, at Israels Konge havde sønderrevet sine klæder, sendte han det Bud til Kongen: "Hvorfor sønderriver du dine Klæder? Lad ham komme til mig, så skal han kende, at der er en Profet i Israel!"
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
Da kom Na'aman med Heste og Vogne og holdt uden for Døren til Elisas Hus.
10 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean."
Elisa sendte et Bud ud til ham og lod sige: "Gå hen og bad dig syv Gange i Jordan, så bliver dit Legeme atter friskt, og du bliver ren!"
11 But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, "Look, I thought, 'He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leper.'
Men Na'aman blev vred og drog bort med de Ord: "Se, jeg havde tænkt, at han vilde komme ud til mig, stå og påkalde HERREN sin Guds Navn og svinge sin Hånd i Retning af Helligdommen og således gøre Ende på Spedalskheden!
12 Aren't Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn't I go wash in them, and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage.
Er ikke Damaskus's Floder Abana og Parpar fuldt så gode som alle Israels Vande? Kunde jeg ikke blive ren ved at bade mig i dem?" Og han vendte sig og drog bort i Vrede.
13 His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, "My father, if the prophet had asked you to do some great thing, wouldn't you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, 'Wash, and be clean?'"
Men hans Trælle kom og sagde til ham: "Dersom Profeten havde pålagt dig noget, som var vanskeligt vilde du så ikke have gjort det? Hvor meget mere da nu, da han sagde til dig: Bad dig, så bliver du ren!"
14 Then he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
Så drog han ned og dykkede sig syv Gange i Jordan efter den Guds Mands Ord; og hans Legeme blev atter friskt som et Barns, og han blev ren.
15 He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, "See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift from your servant."
Så vendte han med hele sit Følge tilbage til den Guds Mand, og da han var kommet derhen, trådtehan frem forham og sagde: "Nu ved jeg, at der ingensteds på Jorden er nogen Gud uden i Israel! Så modtag nu en Takkegave af din Træl!"
16 But he said, "As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none." He urged him to take it; but he refused.
Men han svarede: "Så sandt HERREN lever, for hvis Åsyn jeg står, jeg modtager ikke noget!" Og skønt han nødte ham, vægrede han sig ved at modtage noget.
17 Naaman said, "If not, then, please let two mules' burden of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.
Da sagde Na'aman: "Så lad da være! Men lad din Træl få så megel Jord, som et Par Muldyr kan bære, thi din Træl vil aldrig mere ofre Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer til nogen anden Gud end HERREN!
18 In this thing may the LORD pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon. When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may the LORD pardon your servant in this thing."
Men i een Ting vil HERREN nok bære over med din Træl: Når min Herre går ind i Rimmons Hus for at tilbede og støtfer sig til min Arm og jeg så sammen med ham kaster mig til Jorden i Rimmons Hus, da vil HERREN nok bære over ed din Træl i den Ting!"
19 He said to him, "Go in peace." So he departed from him a little way.
Han svarede: "Far i Fred!" Men da han var kommet et Stykke hen ad Vejen,
20 But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "Look, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As the LORD lives, I will run after him, and take something from him."
sagde Gehazi, den Guds Mand Elisas Tjener, ved sig selv: "Der har min Herre ladet denne Aramæer Na'aman slippe og ikke modtaget af ham, hvad han havde med; så sandt HERREN lever, jeg vil løbe efter ham for at få noget af ham!"
21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, "Is all well?"
Så satte Gehazi efter Na'aman. og da Na'aman så ham komme løbende efter sig, sprang han af Vognen, gik ham i Møde og spurgte: "Står det godt til?"
22 He said, "All is well. My master has sent me, saying, 'Look, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.'"
Han svarede: "Ja, det står godt til! Min Herre sender mig med det Bud: Der kom lige nu to unge Mænd, som hører til Profetsønnerne, til mig fra Efraims Bjerge: giv dem en Talent Sølv og to Sæt Festklæder!"
23 Naaman said, "Be pleased to take two talents." He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him.
Da sagde Na'aman: "Tag dog mod to Talenter Sølv!" Og han nødte ham. Så bandt han to Talenter ind i to Punge og tog to Sæt Festklæder og gav to af sine Trælle dem, for at de skulde bære dem foran ham.
24 When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed.
Men da de kom til Højen, tog han Pengene fra dem, gemte dem i Huset og lod Mændene gå.
25 But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, "Where did you come from, Gehazi?" He said, "Your servant went nowhere."
Så gik han ind til sin Herre og trådte hen til ham. Da spurgte Elisa: "Hvor har du været, Gehazi?" Han svarede: "Din Træl har ingen Steder været!"
26 He said to him, "Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants?
Så sagde han til ham: "Gik jeg ikke i Ånden hos dig, da en stod af sin Vogn og gik tilbage for at møde dig? Nu har du fået Penge, og du kan få Klæder, Olivenlunde og Vingårde, Småkvæg og Hornkvæg, Trælle og Trælkvinder,
27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your descendants forever." He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.
men Na'amans Spedalskhed skal hænge ved dig og dit Afkom til evig Tid!" Og Gehazi gik fra ham, hvid som Sne af Spedalskhed.
