< 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.
Azɔ la Naaman nye Aram fia ƒe aʋakplɔla. Ede ŋgɔ eye bubu nɔ eŋu le eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ elabena eya dzie Yehowa to ɖu dzi geɖe na Aram. Enye asrafo kalẽtɔ gã aɖe gake enɔ kpodɔ lém.
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.
Adzoha aɖewo tso Aram va da adzo le Israelnyigba dzi eye nyɔnuvi sue aɖe le ame siwo wolé la dome. Nyɔnuvi sia zu Naaman srɔ̃ ƒe subɔla.
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.
Azɔ la, nyɔnuvi la gblɔ na eƒe aƒenɔ be, “Ne nye aƒetɔ, ɖe wòakpɔ nyagblɔɖila si le Samaria la, anyo ŋutɔ! Ada gbe le eƒe anyidɔ la ŋu nɛ.”
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.
Naaman yi eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ eye wògblɔ nya si nyɔnuvi si tso Israel gblɔ la nɛ.
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.
Aram fia ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ele vevie be nàyi; maɖo agbalẽ ɖe Israel fia.” Ale Naaman dze mɔ; etsɔ klosaloga kilogram alafa etɔ̃ blaene ɖe asi kpe ɖe sikaga kilogram blaadre ŋuti kple awudodo ewo.
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.
Agbalẽ si woŋlɔ na Israel fia la me nyawoe nye: “Mele agbalẽ sia ɖom ɖe wò to nye dɔla Naaman dzi be nàda gbe le eƒe anyidɔ la ŋu nɛ.”
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.
Esi Israel fia xlẽ agbalẽa me nyawo vɔ teti ko la, edze eƒe awuwo eye wògblɔ be, “Mawue menyea? Ɖe mate ŋu awu ame agagbɔ agbeea? Nu ka ŋuti ame sia dɔ ame aɖe ɖe gbɔnye be mada gbe le eƒe anyidɔ ŋu? Mikpɔ ale si wòle agbagba dzem be yeagawɔ dzre kplim la ɖa!”
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.
Ke esi Mawu ƒe ame, Elisa se be Israel fia dze awu le eɖokui ŋuti la, eɖo du ɖee be, “Nu kae te ɖe dziwò ale gbegbe be nèdze wò awuwo? Ɖo Naaman ɖe gbɔnye ekema anya be nyagblɔɖila aɖe le Israel.”
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.
Ale Naaman kple eƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo va tɔ ɖe Elisa ƒe aƒe ƒe agbonu.
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.
Elisa ɖo dɔla aɖe ɖa be wòagblɔ na Naaman be, “Yi nàdo ɖi ɖe Yɔdan me zi adre, ekema wò ŋutigbalẽ aɖɔ ɖo eye nàkpɔ dɔyɔyɔ.”
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.
Ke Naaman trɔ dzo kple dziku hegblɔ be, “Nye ya mesusui be godoo la, ado ɖe ŋutinye, atɔ ɖe gbɔnye ayɔ Yehowa eƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ, alili asi anyiteƒeawo, ayɔ dɔ nye anyidɔ la hafi.
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.
Ɖe Abana kple Farpar, Damasko tɔsisiwo menyo wu tsi siwo katã le Israel oa? Ɖe nyemate ŋu ale tsi le wo me akpɔ dɔyɔyɔ oa?” Ale wòtrɔ dzo kple dziku.
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.
Naaman ƒe dɔlawo yi egbɔ eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Fofonye, nenye ɖe nyagblɔɖila la gblɔ na wò be nàwɔ nu sesẽ aɖe la, màwɔe oa? Kaka wòhenye be wògblɔ na wò be, ‘Yi nàle tsi eye wò ŋuti nakɔ!’”
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.
Ale Naaman yi Yɔdan tɔsisi la me eye wòdo ɖi ɖe tɔsisi la me zi adre abe ale si Mawu ƒe ame la bia tso esi be wòawɔ ene. Eƒe ŋuti zrɔ̃ hekɔ enumake abe ŋutsuvi sue aɖe tɔ ene.
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.
Tete Naaman kple eƒe dɔlawo katã trɔ yi ɖe Mawu ƒe ame la gbɔ ɖatsi tsitre ɖe eŋkume hegblɔ nɛ be, “Azɔ la menyae be Mawu aɖeke mele xexea katã me o negbe le Israel ko, eya ta meɖe kuku, xɔ nunana siawo le wò dɔla si.”
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.
Ke nyagblɔɖila la ɖo eŋu be, “Meta Yehowa, ame si mesubɔna la ƒe agbe be nyemaxɔ naneke o.” Togbɔ be Naaman ƒoe ɖe enu hã la, egbe mexɔ nunanawo o.
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.
Naaman gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne màxɔ wo o la, meɖe kuku, na wò dɔla naka anyi si tedzi eve ate ŋu atsɔ la nam elabena wò dɔla magasa numevɔ kple vɔsa bubuwo na Mawu bubu aɖeke o, negbe Yehowa ko.
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.
Ke Yehowa netsɔe ke wò dɔla ɖe esia ɖeka ko ta be ne nye aƒetɔ yi Rimon ƒe gbedoxɔ me be wòade ta agu eye wòziɔ ɖe nye abɔ ŋuti eye nye hã mede ta agu, le Rimon ƒe gbedoxɔa me la, Yehowa netsɔe ke wò dɔla ɖe esia ta.”
19 And he said to him go to peace and he went from with him a distance of land.
Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Heyi le ŋutifafa me.” Ale Naaman trɔ ɖo ta wo de.
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.
Ke Gehazi, Elisa ƒe subɔla Mawu ƒe ame, gblɔ na eɖokui be, “Mele be nye aƒetɔ nagbe nunanawo xɔxɔ eye wòaɖe asi le Naaman, Aramea ŋutsu sia ŋu wòadzo o. Mati eyome eye maxɔ nane le esi.”
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.
Ale Gehazi ɖe abla kplɔ Naaman ɖo. Esi Naaman kpɔe wònɔ du dzi gbɔna la, eɖi le eƒe tasiaɖam me be yeado goe. Ebia be, “Nu sia nu le nyuiea?”
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.
Gehazi ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, nu sia nu le nyuie gake nye aƒetɔe dɔm be magblɔ na wò be, ‘Ɖekakpui eve tso nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dome, tso Efraim to dzi va ɖo gbɔnye fifi laa eya ta, meɖe kuku, tsɔ klosaloga kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene kple awudodo ha eve na wo.’”
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.
Naaman ɖo eŋu nɛ be, ele vevie eya ta xɔ klosaloga kilogram blaade-vɔ-enyi. Eƒoe ɖe Gehazi nu be wòaxɔe. Tete wòbla klosaloga la ɖe kotoku eve me nɛ eye wòtsɔ awudodo ha eve kpe ɖe eŋuti nɛ. Etsɔ wo de eƒe dɔla eve si eye wotsɔ wo dze Gehazi ŋgɔe.
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.
Ke esi wogogo to si dzi Elisa nɔ la, Gehazi xɔ nuawo le subɔla eveawo si eye wòna wotrɔ dzo. Etsɔ ga la ɣla ɖe eƒe aƒe me.
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?
Esi wòyi eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ la, Elisa biae be, “Gehazi, afi ka nètso?” Gehazi ɖo eŋu be, “Wò dɔla medo yi afi aɖeke o.”
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.
Elisa biae be, “Mènya be menɔ afi ma le gbɔgbɔ me hafi Naaman ɖi le eƒe tasiaɖam me hekpe wò oa? Ɣeyiɣi sia mee woaxɔ ga, awu, amitigblewo, waingblewo, alẽwo, nyitsuwo kple subɔlawoa?
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.
Esi nèwɔ esia ta la, Naaman ƒe anyidɔ la ava wò kple viwòwo kple wo tɔgbuiyɔviwo dzi tegbetegbe.” Anyi ƒo ɖe Gehazi ŋu enumake, eŋuti katã fu kpii eye wòzu anyidzela hafi do go le xɔa me.
