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.

Ngayon si Naaman, pinuno ng hukbo ng hari ng Aram, ay magiting at marangal sa paningin ng kaniyang panginoon, dahil sa pamamagitan niya, binigyan ng tagumpay ni Yahweh ang Aram. Malakas din siya at matapang pero isa siyang ketongin.

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.

Lumusob ang mga Aramean nang grupo grupo at dinakip ang isang batang babae mula sa lupain ng Israel. Pinaglingkuran niya ang asawa ni Naaman.

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.

Sinabi ng dalaga sa kaniyang madrasta, “Sana kasama ng amo ko ang propeta na nasa Samaria! Tiyak pagagalingin niya ang ketong ng panginoon ko.”

4 And he went in and told his lord, saying, —Thus and thus, hath spoken the maiden who is of the land of Israel!

Kaya sinabi ni Naaman sa hari ang sinabi ng dalaga mula sa lupain ng Israel.

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.

Kaya sinabi ng hari ng Aram, “Lumakad ka, at magpapadala ako ng liham sa hari ng Israel.” Umalis si Naaman na may baong sampung talentong pilak, anim na libong piraso ng ginto, at sampung pamalit na damit.

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.

Dinala rin niya ang liham sa hari ng Israel na nagsasabing, “Kapag dumating ang sulat na ito sa iyo, makikita mong pinadala ko si Naaman na aking lingkod sa iyo para pagalingin mo siya sa kaniyang ketong.”

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.

Nang mabasa ng hari ng Israel ang liham, pinunit niya ang damit niya at sinabing, “Diyos ba ako, para pumatay at magbigay ng buhay kaya nais ng lalaking ito na pagalingin ko ang isang tao sa kaniyang ketong? Mukhang naghahamon siya ng away.”

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.

Kaya nang marinig ni Eliseo, ang lingkod ng Diyos, na pinunit ng hari ng Israel ang kaniyang damit, nagpadala siya ng mensahe sa hari nagsasabing, “Bakit mo pinunit ang iyong mga damit? Papuntahin mo siya sa akin at malalaman niyang may propeta sa Israel.”

9 So Naaman came, with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the entrance of the house of Elisha;

Kaya dumating si Naaman kasama ng kaniyang mga kabayo at karwahe at tumayo sa pinto ng bahay ni Eliseo.

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.

Nagpadala si Eliseo ng mensahero sa kaniya, sinasabing, “Lumublob ka sa Jordan ng pitong beses, at maibabalik ang kutis mo; ikaw ay magiging malinis.”

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.

Pero nagalit si Naaman at umalis, sinasabing, “Tingnan mo, akala ko siguradong lalabas siya para sa akin at tatayo at tatawag sa pangalan ni Yahweh na kaniyang Diyos, at ikukumpas ang kamay niya sa buong katawan ko para pagalingin ako sa aking ketong.

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.

Hindi ba't ang Abana at Farfar, mga ilog ng Damasco, ay mas malinis kaysa lahat ng tubig sa Israel? Hindi ba pwedeng doon ako maligo para maging malinis?” Kaya tumalikod siya at umalis nang galit na galit.

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?

Pagkatapos lumapit ang mga lingkod ni Naaman at kinausap siya, “Ama, kung inutusan ka ng propeta ng isang mahirap na bagay, hindi mo ba gagawin ito? Paano pa kaya kung magsabi siya sa iyo ng isang simpleng bagay gaya ng, 'Lumublob ka para maging malinis ka?'”

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.

Kaya nagpunta siya at lumublob ng pitong beses sa Jordan bilang pagsunod sa mga tagubilin ng lingkod ng Diyos. Bumalik ang kaniyang kutis, tulad ng kutis ng isang maliit na bata, at siya ay gumaling.

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.

Bumalik si Naaman sa lingkod ng Diyos, siya at ang lahat ng kaniyang kasama, at lumapit sila sa harap niya. Sinabi niya, “Alam kong wala nang ibang diyos sa buong mundo maliban sa Israel. Kaya pakiusap, tanggapin mo ang regalong ito mula sa iyong lingkod.”

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.

Pero tumugon si Eliseo, “Hangga't nabubuhay si Yahweh na aking pinaglilingkuran, hindi ako tatanggap ng anumang bagay.” Pinilit ni Naaman si Eliseo na tanggapin ang regalo pero tumanggi ito.

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.

Kaya sinabi ni Naaman, “Kung hindi, maaari mo ba akong bigyan ng lupa na kayang dalhin ng dalawang mola, dahil simula ngayon, ang iyong lingkod ay hindi na maghahandog, ni mag-aalay sa sinumang diyos maliban kay Yahweh.

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.

Pero patawarin sana ni Yahweh ang iyong lingkod sa isang bagay na ito, iyon ay, kapag pumunta ang hari sa tahanan ni Rimmon para sumamba roon, at kumapit siya sa kamay ko, at yumuko ako sa tahanan ni Rimmon. Patawarin nawa ni Yahweh ang iyong lingkod sa bagay na ito.”

19 And he said unto him—Go and prosper! But, when he had gone from him some distance,

Sinabi ni Eliseo sa kaniya, “Humayo ka nang mapayapa.” Kaya umalis si Naaman.

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.

Hindi pa siya nakakalayo sa kaniyang paglalakbay nang si Gehazi lingkod ni Eliseo na lingkod ng Diyos ay sinabi sa kaniyang sarili, “Kinaawaan ng panginoon ko si Naaman na Aramean sa pamamagitan ng hindi pagtanggap ng mga regalo mula sa kamay niya na kaniyang dinala. Hangga't nabubuhay si Yahweh, hahabulin ko siya at tatanggap ako ng anumang bagay mula sa kaniya.”

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?

Kaya sumunod si Gehazi kay Naaman. Nang nakita ni Naaman na may taong sumusunod sa kaniya, bumaba siya mula sa kaniyang karwahe para salubungin siya at sinabing, “Maayos lang ba ang lahat?”

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.

Sinabi ni Gehazi, “Maayos naman ang lahat. Pinadala ako ng aking panginoon, sinasabing, 'May lumapit sa akin mula sa bansa sa burol ng Efraim, dalawang lalaki na anak ng mga propeta. Pakiusap bigyan mo sila ng isang talentong pilak at dalawang pamalit na damit.”

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.

Tumugon si Naaman, “Masaya akong bigyan ka ng dalawang talento.” Hinimok ni Naaman si Gehazi at nagtali ng dalawang talentong pilak sa dalawang sisidlan, na may dalawang pamalit na damit, at ipinapasan ito sa kaniyang dalawang lingkod na nagdala ng mga sisidlan ng pilak para kay Gehazi.

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.

Nang dumating si Gehazi sa burol, kinuha niya ang sisidlan ng pilak mula sa mga kamay nila at tinago ang mga ito sa bahay; pinaalis niya ang mga lingkod at umalis sila.

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.

Nang pumasok si Gehazi at humarap sa kaniyang amo, sinabi ni Eliseo, “Saan ka nanggaling, Gehazi?” Tumugon siya, “Diyan-diyan lang nagpunta ang iyong lingkod.”

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?

Sinabi ni Eliseo kay Gehazi, “Hindi ba kasama mo ang espiritu ko nang huminto ang karwahe ng lalaking iyon para salubungin ka? Ito ba ang oras para tumanggap ng pera, damit, mga olibong halamanan at mga ubasan, mga tupa, mga baka, at mga lingkod na lalaki at babae?

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.

Kaya ang ketong ni Naaman ay papasa-iyo at iyong mga kaapu-apuhan magpakailanaman.” Kaya umalis si Gehazi sa kaniyang harapan, isang ketongin na kasing puti ng bulak.
