< 2 Kings 5 >
1 Now, Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man in presence of his lord, and held in honour, because, by him, had Yahweh given deliverance to Syria, —and, the man, was a hero of valour—[but], a leper.
И Нееман князь силы Сирийския бе муж велий пред господином своим и дивен лицем, яко им даде Господь спасение Сирии: и муж бе силен крепостию прокажен.
2 Now, the Syrians, had gone out in companies, and had brought back out of the land of Israel, a little maiden, —who became an attendant on the wife of Naaman.
И из Сирии изыдоша воини и плениша юнотку малу от земли Израилевы: и бе пред женою Неемановою (служа)
3 And she said unto her mistress, Ah! would that my lord were before the prophet, who is in Samaria! then, would he set him free from his leprosy.
и рече госпоже своей: о, дабы господин мой был у пророка Божия, иже в Самарии, той бы очистил его и проказы его.
4 And he went in and told his lord, saying, —Thus and thus, hath spoken the maiden who is of the land of Israel!
И вниде и возвести господину своему и рече: тако и тако глагола юнотка, яже от земли Израилевы.
5 And the king of Syria said—Go, get in, that I may send a letter unto the king of Israel. So he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
И рече царь Сирийский ко Нееману: иди, вниди, и послю писание ко царю Израилеву. И пойде, и взя в руце свои десять талант сребра и шесть тысящ златник и десять изменяемых риз.
6 And he brought in the letter unto the king of Israel, saying, Now, therefore, when this letter cometh in unto thee, lo! I have sent unto thee, Naaman my servant, and thou shalt set him free from his leprosy.
И внесе писание к царю Израилеву глаголя: и ныне егда приидет писание сие к тебе, се, послах к тебе Неемана раба моего, да очистиши его от проказы его.
7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am, I, God, to kill and to make alive, that, this, man is sending unto me, to set one free from his leprosy, —but, of a truth, just mark, I pray you, and see, that he, is seeking an occasion, against me.
И бысть егда прочте писание царь Израилев, раздра ризы своя и рече: еда аз Бог есмь, еже мертвити и животворити, яко сей посла и мне, да очищу мужа от проказы его? Прочее разумейте и видите, яко се ищет вины ко мне.
8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent unto the king, saying—Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come, I pray thee, unto me, that he may get to know that there is a prophet in Israel.
И бысть егда услыша Елиссеи, яко раздра ризы своя царь Израилев, и посла к царю Израилеву, глаголя: почто раздрал еси ризы твоя? Да приидет ко мне ныне Нееман, и да разумеет, яко есть пророк во Израили.
9 So Naaman came, with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the entrance of the house of Elisha;
И прииде Нееман на конех и на колесницех и ста при дверех дому Елиссеева.
10 and Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, —Go and bathe seven times in the Jordan, so shall thy flesh come back to thee, and be thou clean.
И посла Елиссей посланника к нему, глаголя: шед измыйся седмижды во Иордане, и возвратится плоть твоя к тебе, и очистишися.
11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, —and said—Lo! I thought, Unto me, will he, come right out, and take his stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand towards the spot, and so set free the leper.
И разгневася Нееман, и отиде, и рече: се, убо глаголах, яко изыдет ко мне, и станет, и призовет во имя Бога своего, и возложит руку свою на место, и очистит проказу:
12 Are not, Abanah and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not bathe, in them, and be clean? So he turned, and went away in a rage.
не благи ли Авана и Фарфар реки Дамасковы паче Иордана и всех вод Израилевых? Не шед ли измыюся в них и очишуся? И уклонися и отиде во гневе.
13 Then drew near his servants, and spake unto him, and said—My father! if, some great thing, the prophet had commanded thee, wouldst thou not have done it? then, how much rather, when he hath said unto thee, Bathe and be clean?
И приближишася отроцы его и реша ему: аще бы велие слово глаголал пророк тебе, не бы ли сотворил еси? А яко рече к тебе: измыйся, и очистишися.
14 Then went he down, and dipped himself in the Jordan, seven times, according to the word of the man of God: and his flesh came back, as the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
И сниде Нееман, и погрузися во Иордане седмижды, по глаголу Елиссееву: и возвратися плоть его яко плоть отрочате млада, и очистися.
15 And he returned unto the man of God, he and all his company; and came, and took his stand before him, and said—Lo! I pray thee—I know that there is no God in all the earth, save in Israel, —now, therefore, I pray thee, accept a blessing from thy servant.
И возвратися ко Елиссею сам и все ополчение его, и прииде и ста пред ним и рече: се, ныне разумех, яко несть Бога во всей земли, но токмо во Израили: и ныне приими благословение от раба твоего.
16 But he said—By the life of Yahweh, before whom I stand, I will not accept one. And, though he urged him to accept it, yet did he refuse.
И рече Елиссей: жив Господь, Емуже предстах пред ним, аще прииму. И понуждаше его взяти, и не послуша.
17 Then said Naaman, Shall there not, then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant, two mules’ burden of earth? For thy servant will henceforth offer neither ascending-offering nor sacrifice to other gods, save only to Yahweh.
И рече Нееман: аще ли не (хощеши взяти), то даждь рабу твоему время, супруг мсков, от земли сея червленыя: яко и сотворит отселе раб твой всесожжения и жертвы богом иным, но Господу единому,
18 In this thing, Yahweh grant forgiveness to thy servant, —When my lord entereth the house of Rimmon, to bow down therein, he leaning upon my hand, and so I bow down in the house of Rimmon, when he boweth down in the house of Rimmon, Yahweh, I pray, grant forgiveness to thy servant, in this thing.
по глаголу сему и о словеси сем: и очистит Господь раба твоего, егда внидет господин мой в дом Ремманов на поклонение тамо: и той почиет на руку моею, и поклонюся в дому Реммани, внегда кланятися ему в дому Реммани, и очистит Господь раба твоего по словеси сему.
19 And he said unto him—Go and prosper! But, when he had gone from him some distance,
И рече Елиссей ко Нееману: иди с миром. И отиде от него на Хаврафа земли.
20 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said—Lo! my lord, hath restrained, this Naaman the Syrian, by not taking at his hand that which he brought! By the life of Yahweh, verily, I will runs after him, and accept of him, something.
И рече Гиезий отрочищь Елиссеев: се, пощаде господин мой Неемана Сирянина сего, еже не взяти от руки его, яже принесе: жив Господь, яко имам тещи вслед его, и возму от него нечто.
21 So Gehazi hastened after Naaman. And, when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from his chariot to meet him, and said, —Is all well?
И тече Гиезий во след Нееманов. И виде его Нееман текуща вслед себе, и возвратися с колесницы на сретение ему и рече: мир ли?
22 And he said, All is well. My lord, hath sent me to say, Lo! just now, have come unto me, two young men out of the hill country of Ephraim, of the sons of the prophets, —give for them, I pray thee, a talent, of silver, and two changes of raiment.
И рече Гиезий: мир: господин мой посла мя, глаголя: се, ныне приидоста ко мне два отрочища от горы Ефремли от сынов пророчих: даждь убо има талант сребра и две премены риз.
23 And Naaman said, Be content, accept two talents. So he urged him, and bound up two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his young men, and they bare them before him.
И рече Нееман: возми два таланта сребра. И взя два таланта во два мешца и две премены риз, и возложи на два отрочиша своя, и несоста пред ним:
24 And, when he came to the hill-tower, he took them from their hand, and put them in charge within, —and let the men go, and they departed.
и приидоша в сумраки, и взя от рук их и сокры во храмине, и отпусти мужы.
25 Now, when, he, came in and stood before his lord, Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, —Thy servant hath been neither hither nor thither.
И сам вниде и предста господину своему. И рече к нему Елиссей: откуду (пришел еси), Гиезие? И рече Гиезий: не исходил раб твой никаможе.
26 Then he said unto him—My heart, had not gone with thee, when someone turned again from off his chariot, to meet thee! Is it a time to accept silver, or to accept raiment, or oliveyards, or vineyards, or flocks or herds, or men-servants, or maid-servants?
И рече к нему Елиссей: не ходило ли сердце мое с тобою, и видех, егда возвращашеся муж с колесницы своей во сретение тебе? И ныне взял еси сребро и ризы взял еси, да купиши за них вертограды и маслины и винограды, и овцы и волы, и отроки и отроковицы:
27 The leprosy of Naaman, therefore, shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed, to times age-abiding. And he went forth from before him—a leper—like snow.
и проказа Нееманова да прильпнет к тебе и к семени твоему во веки. И изыде от лица его прокажен яко снег.
