< 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.
Namani, mokonzi ya basoda ya mokonzi ya Siri, azalaki moto monene mpe moto ya lokumu mingi na miso ya nkolo na ye, pamba te, na nzela na ye, Yawe apesaki bato ya Siri elonga. Azalaki soda ya mpiko, kasi azalaki na bokono ya maba.
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.
Nzokande, tango mampinga ya bato ya Siri babimaki na bitumba, bakangaki na bowumbu elenge mwasi moko ya Isalaele. Boye akomaki kosalela mwasi ya Namani.
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."
Elenge mwasi yango alobaki na nkolo na ye ya mwasi: — Ah, soki kaka nkolo na ngai, Namani, akokaki komona mosakoli oyo azali kati na Samari! Akoki penza kobikisa ye na bokono na ye ya maba.
4 Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, "The maiden who is from the land of Israel said this."
Namani akendeki epai ya nkolo na ye mpe abetelaki ye lisolo ya makambo oyo elenge mwasi ya Isalaele alobaki.
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.
Mokonzi ya Siri alobaki na ye: — Malamu! Nakotinda mokanda epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele. Boye Namani akendeki mpe amemaki bakilo ya palata, nkama misato na tuku mitano; bakilo ya wolo, tuku sambo, mpe bilamba zomi ya talo.
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."
Apesaki epai ya mokonzi ya Isalaele mokanda oyo elobaki: « Na nzela ya mokanda oyo, natindeli yo mosali na ngai, Namani, mpo ete obikisa ye na bokono na ye ya maba. »
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."
Tango kaka mokonzi ya Isalaele atangaki mokanda, apasolaki bilamba na ye mpe alobaki: « Boni, ngai nazali Nzambe? Boni, nazali na makoki ya koboma to ya kozongisa na bomoi? Mpo na nini moto oyo atindeli ngai moto ete nabikisa ye na bokono na ye ya maba? Botala ndenge nini azali kolukela ngai makambo! »
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."
Tango Elize, moto na Nzambe, ayokaki ete mokonzi ya Isalaele apasolaki bilamba na ye, atindelaki ye liloba oyo: « Mpo na nini opasoli bilamba na yo? Tika ete moto wana aya epai na ngai, mpe akoyeba ete ezali na mosakoli moko kati na Isalaele! »
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
Boye Namani akendeki elongo na bampunda na ye mpe shar na ye, mpe atelemaki na ekotelo ya ndako ya Elize.
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."
Elize atindaki moto moko mpo na koyebisa Namani: — Kende kosukola mbala sambo na ebale Yordani; bongo nzoto na yo ekobongwana, mpe okokoma peto.
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.'
Kasi Namani asilikaki, azongaki mpe alobaki: — Nakanisaki ete akoya penza epai na ngai, akobelela Yawe, Nzambe na ye, akotia loboko na ye na esika oyo bokono ezali, mpe akobikisa ngai na bokono na ngai ya maba!
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.
Boni, bibale Abana mpe Paripari kati na Damasi ezali motuya te koleka miluka nyonso ya Isalaele? Nakokaki te kosukola na bibale wana mpe kokoma peto? Boye, abalukaki mpe akendeki na kanda.
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?'"
Kasi basali na ye bapusanaki mpe balobaki na ye: — Nkolo, soki mosakoli ayebisaki yo ete osala likambo moko ya monene, boni, olingaki kosala yango te? Bongo mpo na nini te koleka, tango azali koloba na yo: « Sukola, mpe okokoma peto! »
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.
Boye Namani akitaki mpe amizindisaki mbala sambo na ebale Yordani, ndenge moto na Nzambe ayebisaki ye; mpe nzoto na ye ebongwanaki mpe ekomaki peto lokola nzoto ya elenge mobali.
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."
Bongo Namani elongo na basali na ye nyonso bazongaki epai ya moto na Nzambe. Atelemaki liboso ya Elize mpe alobaki: — Nayebi sik’oyo ete ezali na Nzambe te kati na mokili mobimba longola kaka kati na Isalaele. Nabondeli yo, ndima kado kowuta na mosali na yo.
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.
Mosakoli Elize azongisaki: — Na Kombo na Yawe oyo nasalelaka, nakondima eloko moko te. Namani atungisaki ye, kasi Elize aboyaki kaka.
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.
Namani alobaki: — Lokola oboyi, pesa nzela ete napesa mosali na yo ndambo ya mabele oyo bamile mibale ekoki komema, pamba te mosali na yo akoki te kobonzela banzambe mosusu bambeka ya kotumba to bambeka ya boyokani, bobele Yawe.
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."
Kasi tika ete Yawe alimbisa mosali na yo mpo na likambo oyo: tango nkolo na ngai akotaka na ndako ya nzambe Rimoni mpo na kogumbama, nagumbamaka elongo na ye, pamba te alalelaka loboko na ngai. Tika ete Yawe alimbisa mosali na yo mpo na yango.
19 He said to him, "Go in peace." So he departed from him a little way.
Elize alobaki na ye: — Kende na kimia! Tango Namani akomaki mwa mosika,
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."
Geazi, mosali ya Elize, moto na Nzambe, amilobelaki: « Nkolo na ngai atiki penza na pamba Namani, moto oyo ya Arami, wana aboyi kozwa biloko oyo amemelaki ye. Na Kombo na Yawe, nakolanda ye mbangu mpe nakozwa ata eloko moko epai na ye. »
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?"
Boye Geazi alandaki Namani mbangu. Tango Namani amonaki ye kopota mbangu na sima na ye, akitaki na shar na ye mpo na kokutana na ye mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, nyonso ezali malamu?
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.'"
Geazi azongisaki: — Iyo, nyonso ezali malamu. Nkolo na ngai atindi ngai koyebisa yo: « Bilenge bayekoli mibale kati na basakoli bayei epai na ngai wuta na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi. Nabondeli yo, pesa bango bakilo ya palata, tuku misato na mitano, mpe bilamba mibale ya talo. »
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.
Namani alobaki: — Kamata bakilo ya palata, tuku sambo. Atungisaki Geazi ete azwa yango. Boye, atiaki bakilo ya palata, tuku sambo kati na basaki mibale elongo na bilamba mibale ya talo. Namani apesaki yango epai ya basali na ye mibale oyo bamemaki yango liboso ya Geazi.
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.
Tango Geazi akomaki na ngomba, azwaki biloko na maboko ya basali ya Namani mpe atiaki yango kati na ndako. Azongisaki basali yango, mpe bakendeki.
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."
Boye, Geazi akotaki mpe atelemaki liboso ya nkolo na ye, Elize. Elize atunaki ye: — Geazi, okendeki wapi? Geazi azongisaki: — Mosali na yo akendeki epai moko te.
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?
Kasi Elize alobaki na ye: — Boni, molimo na ngai ezalaki elongo na yo te tango moto wana akitaki na shar na ye mpo na kokutana na yo? Ezali penza tango ya kozwa palata to ya kondima bilamba, bilanga ya nzete ya olive, ya vino, bameme, bangombe to basali ya mibali mpe basali ya basi?
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.
Lokola osali bongo, bokono ya maba ya Namani ekokangama na yo mpe bakitani na yo mpo na libela. Bongo Geazi alongwaki na liboso ya Elize. Poso ya nzoto na ye ekomaki na maba, mpe akomaki pembe lokola mvula ya pembe.
