< 2 Kings 5 >
1 And Naaman [the] commander of [the] army of [the] king of Aram he was a man great before master his and lifted up of face for by him he had given Yahweh victory to Aram and the man he was a mighty [man] of strength having a skin disease.
亞蘭王的元帥乃縵在他主人面前為尊為大,因耶和華曾藉他使亞蘭人得勝;他又是大能的勇士,只是長了大痲瘋。
2 And Aram they had gone out marauding bands and they had taken captive from [the] land of Israel a girl young and she was before [the] wife of Naaman.
先前亞蘭人成群地出去,從以色列國擄了一個小女子,這女子就服事乃縵的妻。
3 And she said to mistress her would that! master my [was] before the prophet who [is] in Samaria then he will deliver him from skin disease his.
她對主母說:「巴不得我主人去見撒馬利亞的先知,必能治好他的大痲瘋。」
4 And he went and he told to master his saying like this and like this she spoke the girl who [is] from [the] land of Israel.
乃縵進去,告訴他主人說,以色列國的女子如此如此說。
5 And he said [the] king of Aram come go so let me send a letter to [the] king of Israel and he went and he took in hand his ten talents of silver and six thousand gold and ten changes of garments.
亞蘭王說:「你可以去,我也達信於以色列王。」於是乃縵帶銀子十他連得,金子六千舍客勒,衣裳十套,就去了;
6 And he brought the letter to [the] king of Israel saying and now when comes the letter this to you here! I have sent to you Naaman servant my and you will deliver him from skin disease his.
且帶信給以色列王,信上說:「我打發臣僕乃縵去見你,你接到這信,就要治好他的大痲瘋。」
7 And it was when read aloud [the] king of Israel the letter and he tore clothes his and he said ¿ God [am] I to kill and to restore to life that this [man] [is] sending to me to deliver a man from skin disease his that only consider please and see that [is] seeking an opportunity he to me.
以色列王看了信就撕裂衣服,說:「我豈是上帝,能使人死使人活呢?這人竟打發人來,叫我治好他的大痲瘋。你們看一看,這人何以尋隙攻擊我呢?」
8 And it was when heard - Elisha [the] man of God that he had torn [the] king of Israel clothes his and he sent to the king saying why? did you tear clothes your let him come please to me so he may know that there [is] a prophet in Israel.
神人以利沙聽見以色列王撕裂衣服,就打發人去見王,說:「你為甚麼撕了衣服呢?可使那人到我這裏來,他就知道以色列中有先知了。」
9 And he came Naaman (with horses his *Q(K)*) and with chariot[s] his and he stood [the] entrance of the house of Elisha.
於是,乃縵帶着車馬到了以利沙的家,站在門前。
10 And he sent to him Elisha a messenger saying go and you will wash seven times in the Jordan and it may return flesh your to you and be clean.
以利沙打發一個使者,對乃縵說:「你去在約旦河中沐浴七回,你的肉就必復原,而得潔淨。」
11 And he was angry Naaman and he went and he said here! I said to myself - he will come out continuously and he will stand and he will call on [the] name of Yahweh God his and he will wave hand his to the place and he will deliver the [one] having a skin disease.
乃縵卻發怒走了,說:「我想他必定出來見我,站着求告耶和華-他上帝的名,在患處以上搖手,治好這大痲瘋。
12 ¿ Not good ([are] Amana *Q(K)*) and Pharpar [the] rivers of Damascus more than all [the] waters of Israel ¿ not will I wash in them and I will be clean and he turned and he went in a rage.
大馬士革的河亞罷拿和法珥法豈不比以色列的一切水更好嗎?我在那裏沐浴不得潔淨嗎?」於是氣忿忿地轉身去了。
13 And they drew near servants his and they spoke to him and they said would that a thing great the prophet he spoke to you ¿ not will you do [it] and indeed? if he has said to you wash and be clean.
他的僕人進前來,對他說:「我父啊,先知若吩咐你做一件大事,你豈不做嗎?何況說你去沐浴而得潔淨呢?」
14 And he went down and he dipped in the Jordan seven times according to [the] word of [the] man of God and it returned flesh his like [the] flesh of a lad young and he was clean.
於是乃縵下去,照着神人的話,在約旦河裏沐浴七回;他的肉復原,好像小孩子的肉,他就潔淨了。
15 And he went back to [the] man of God he and all camp his and he came and he stood before him and he said here! please I know that there not [is] a God in all the earth that except in Israel and now accept please a blessing from with servant your.
乃縵帶着一切跟隨他的人,回到神人那裏,站在他面前,說:「如今我知道,除了以色列之外,普天下沒有上帝。現在求你收點僕人的禮物。」
16 And he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh whom I stand before him if I will accept and he urged him to accept and he refused.
以利沙說:「我指着所事奉永生的耶和華起誓,我必不受。」乃縵再三地求他,他卻不受。
17 And he said Naaman and not let it be given please to servant your [the] load of a pair of mules earth for not he will offer again servant your burnt offering and sacrifice to gods other that except to Yahweh.
乃縵說:「你若不肯受,請將兩騾子馱的土賜給僕人。從今以後,僕人必不再將燔祭或平安祭獻與別神,只獻給耶和華。
18 To the matter this may he forgive Yahweh servant your when goes master my [the] house of Rimmon to bow down there and he - [is] supporting himself on hand my and I will bow down [the] house of Rimmon when bow down I [the] house of Rimmon may he forgive (*Q(K)*) Yahweh servant your in the matter this.
惟有一件事,願耶和華饒恕你僕人:我主人進臨門廟叩拜的時候,我用手攙他在臨門廟,我也屈身。我在臨門廟屈身的這事,願耶和華饒恕我。」
19 And he said to him go to peace and he went from with him a distance of land.
以利沙對他說:「你可以平平安安地回去!」 乃縵就離開他去了;走了不遠,
20 And he said Gehazi [the] servant of Elisha [the] man of God here! - he has restrained master my Naaman the Aramean this from accepting from hand his [that] which he brought [by] [the] life of Yahweh that except I run after him and I will accept from with him anything.
神人以利沙的僕人基哈西心裏說:「我主人不願從這亞蘭人乃縵手裏受他帶來的禮物,我指着永生的耶和華起誓,我必跑去追上他,向他要些。」
21 And he pursued Gehazi after Naaman and he saw Naaman [one who] ran after him and he fell from on the chariot to meet him and he said ¿ peace.
於是基哈西追趕乃縵。乃縵看見有人追趕,就急忙下車迎着他,說:「都平安嗎?」
22 And he said - peace master my he has sent me saying here! now this they have come to me two young men from [the] hill country of Ephraim of [the] sons of the prophets give! please to them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.
說:「都平安。我主人打發我來說:『剛才有兩個少年人,是先知門徒,從以法蓮山地來見我,請你賜他們一他連得銀子,兩套衣裳。』」
23 And he said Naaman be willing accept two talents and he urged him and he secured two talents silver in two bags and two changes of garments and he gave [them] to two of servants his and they carried [them] before him.
乃縵說:「請受二他連得」;再三地請受,便將二他連得銀子裝在兩個口袋裏,又將兩套衣裳交給兩個僕人;他們就在基哈西前頭抬着走。
24 And he came to the hill and he took [them] from hand their and he deposited [them] in the house and he sent away the men and they went.
到了山岡,基哈西從他們手中接過來,放在屋裏,打發他們回去。
25 And he he went and he stood to master his and he said to him Elisha (from whence? *Q(K)*) O Gehazi and he said not he has gone servant your where? and where?
基哈西進去,站在他主人面前。以利沙問他說:「基哈西你從哪裏來?」回答說:「僕人沒有往哪裏去。」
26 And he said to him not heart my did it go? just when he turned a man from on chariot his to meet you ¿ a time to accept silver and to accept clothes and olive trees and vineyards and sheep and cattle and male servants and maidservants.
以利沙對他說:「那人下車轉回迎你的時候,我的心豈沒有去呢?這豈是受銀子、衣裳、買橄欖園、葡萄園、牛羊、僕婢的時候呢?
27 And [the] skin disease of Naaman it will cling to you and to offspring your for ever and he went out from to before him having a skin disease like snow.
因此,乃縵的大痲瘋必沾染你和你的後裔,直到永遠。」基哈西從以利沙面前退出去,就長了大痲瘋,像雪那樣白。
