2 Kings 5
1 [A man named] Naaman was the commander of the army of Syria. Yahweh had enabled him to win many victories/battles. He was a great warrior, and as a result the king of Syria greatly respected him. But he had (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease).
Na: ima: ne da Silia dadi gagui wa: i ouligisudafa esalu. Silia hina bagade da Na: ima: ne ea houba: le, bagadewane nodone dawa: i. Bai Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, Na: ima: ne ea dadi gagui wa: i da ilima ha lai huluanema hasasali. E da dadi gagui dunu noga: idafa. Be amomane e da lebolosi aiya madelai.
2 [Some time previously, ] groups of soldiers/marauders from Syria had raided/attacked the land of Israel, and they had captured a young girl [and taken her to Syria]. She became a servant for Naaman’s wife.
Eso afaega, Silia dunu da Isala: ili fi doagala: loba, ilia da Isala: ili uda mano fonobahadi amo gagulaligili, Silia sogega oule asi. Silia soge ganodini, amo uda mano da Na: ima: ne idua ea hawa: hamosu.
3 One day, that girl said to her, “I wish that (my master/your husband) would go to see the prophet in Samaria. That prophet would heal your husband from his leprosy.”
Eso afaega e da ea hina (Na: ima: ne idua) ema amane sia: i, “Na hanai da na ouligisu dunu Na: ima: ne da Samelia sogega esalebe balofede dunu Ilaisia, amo ba: la masunu da defea. E da ea oloi uhinisimu dawa:”
4 [Naaman’s wife told her husband] what the girl from Israel had said, [and] Naaman told [that] to the king.
Na: ima: ne da amo uda mano ea sia: be nababeba: le, e da Silia hina bagadema asili, amo uda mano ea sia: i amo ema olelei.
5 The king said to him, “Okay, go [and see the prophet]. I will [write] a letter for you to take to the king of Israel, [saying that I sent you].” The king wrote in the letter, “I am sending this letter with [my army commander] Naaman, who serves me [faithfully]. I want you to heal him of his disease.” So Naaman, [assuming/thinking that the king of Israel was the prophet, took the letter and] 750 pounds of silver, 150 pounds of gold, and ten sets of clothing, to give to the king of Israel, [and he went to Samaria, taking along several servants].
Silia hina bagade da ema amane sia: i, “Di Isala: ili hina bagadema asili, na meloa dedei amo ema ima!” Amaiba: le, Na: ima: ne da asi. E da silifa fage 30,000 agoane amola gouli fage 6,000 agoane, amola ga: su abula noga: idafa nabuane agoane gaguli asi.
Meloa dedei ea gaguli asi amoga da amane dedei dialebe ba: i, “Na dadi gagui wa: i ouligisu dunu Na: ima: ne da amo meloa dedei gaguli misi. Na hanai da ea oloi, dia uhinisima: mu!”
7 [When he arrived in Samaria, he gave the letter to the king] of Israel. The king read the letter. Then, being very dismayed, the king tore his clothes and said, “I am not God [RHQ]! I am not able to enable people to live or to die [RHQ]! Why does [the king] who wrote this letter request me to cure this man of his leprosy? I think that he is just wanting to start a fight with me!”
Isala: ili hina bagade da amo meloa idilalu, e da da: i dione fofogadigili, ea abula gadelale, amane sia: i, “Abuliba: le, Silia hina bagade da nama na da amo dunu ea oloi uhinisima: ne sia: sala: ? E da na Godeyale dawa: bela: ? Na da bogoi dunu bu uhinisimu dawa: bela: ? Na da Gode hame! Na dawa: loba, e da nama gegemusa: logo hogolala.”
8 But the prophet Elisha heard that the king of Israel had torn his robe [and said that]. So he sent a message to the king, saying, “Why are you upset/frustrated [RHQ]? Send Naaman to me, and he will find out that [because] I am a true prophet [here] in Israel, [I can help/heal him].”
Balofede dunu Ilaisia da amo hou nababeba: le, e da Isala: ili hina bagadema amane sia: si, “Di da abuliba: le fofogadigili da: i diobela: ? Amo dunu nama asunasima! Na da ema, balofede dunu da Isala: ili soge ganodini esala, amo ema olelemu.”
9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots to Elisha’s house and waited outside the door.
Amaiba: le, Na: ima: ne amola ea hosi amola ‘sa: liode’ da asili, Ilaisia ea diasu logo holei gadenene aligi.
10 But Elisha [did not come to the door. Instead, he] sent a messenger to Naaman, to tell him, “Go to the Jordan [River] and wash yourself seven times in the river. Then your skin will be restored/healed, and you will no longer have leprosy.”
Ilaisia da hawa: hamosu dunu afae, Na: ima: nema amane adola masa: ne asunasi, “Di da asili, Yodane Hano amoga fesuale agoane ulima! Amasea, dia oloi da uhi dagoi ba: mu.”
11 But Naaman became very angry. He said, “I thought that surely he would wave his hand over the leprosy, and pray to Yahweh his god, and heal me!
Be Na: ima: ne da amo sia: nabalu, ougi bagadeba: le, asi. E amane sia: i, “Na da agoane dawa: i! Ilaisia hisu da gadili, nama misini, ea Hina Godema sia: ne gadolalu, ea lobo na oloi da: iya gadodili sisiga: lu, na oloi uhinisimu da defea galu.
12 Surely the Abana River and the Pharpar River in Damascus [in my own country of Syria] are [RHQ] better than any of the rivers in Israel! Why can I not wash in those rivers and be healed?” [RHQ] So he turned and walked away with great anger/disgust.
Aba: na Hano amola Faba Hano amo ilia da ninia Silia soge moilai bai bagade Dama: saga: se amoga, Isala: ili hano huluane ilia hou baligisa! Na da amo ganodini ulalu, uhi ba: mu da defea galu!”
13 But his servants came to him, and [one of them] said, “Sir, if that prophet had told you to do something difficult, you would certainly [RHQ] have done it. So you should certainly do what he says and wash [in the Jordan River] to be healed!” [RHQ]
Na: ima: ne ea hawa: hamosu dunu da ema asili, amane sia: i, “Hina! Balofede dunu da dima gasa bagade liligi hamoma: ne sia: noba, di da amo hamona: noba! Amaiba: le, asaboi liligi ea sia: i, amo defele hano ulima, amo hamonanu, uhinisi ba: mu da defea.”
14 So Naaman went down to the Jordan [River] and washed himself seven times, as (the prophet/Elisha) told him to do. Then his skin was restored/healed, and it became healthy/smooth, like the skin of a young child.
Amaiba: le, Na: ima: ne da Ilaisia ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, Yodane Hanoa asili, fesuale agoane ulalu, ea oloi da uhi dagoi ba: i. Ea da: i da noga: idafa amola bobonomane, mano fonobahadi ea da: i defele bai.
15 Then Naaman and those who were with him went back to talk to Elisha. They stood in front of him, and Naaman said, “Now I know that there are no real gods anywhere else in the world, but there is a God here in Israel! So now please accept these gifts that I [have brought to you]!”
Na: ima: ne amola ea dunu huluane da Ilaisiama buhagili, e da Ilaisia: ma amane sia: i, “Na da wali dawa: , Godedafa da Isala: ili fi ilia Gode fawane! Eno da hame gala! Amaiba: le, hina! Na da hahawane iasu dima imunu!”
16 But Elisha replied, “Just as certainly as Yahweh, the one whom I serve, lives, I will not accept any gifts.” Naaman kept urging him [to accept the gifts], but Elisha kept refusing.
Ilaisia da bu adole i, “Na da Hina Gode, Ea hawa: hamosu hamonana. Amo Ea Dioba: le na da dafawane ilegele sia: sa. Na da dia hahawane iabe liligi amo hamedafa lamu.” Na: ima: ne da ea iabe lama: ne ouwalei, be Ilaisia da hamedafa lamu sia: i.
17 Then Naaman said, “Okay, but [I have one request. This dirt here in Israel is holy, so] please allow me to take some dirt from this place and put it [in sacks] on two mules. Then I will take it back home with me [and make an altar on this dirt]. From now on, I will offer sacrifices to Yahweh [on that altar]. I will not offer sacrifices to any other god.
Amaiba: le, Na: ima: ne da amane sia: i, “Defea! Di da na hahawane iasu amo hame labeba: le, na da miule aduna amo da: iya ligisimu defele, osobo lale, na sogega bu gaguli masunu da defeala: ? Bai wali winini, na da eno ‘gode’ma gobele salasu hou hamedafa hamomu. Na da Hina Godedafa, Ema fawane gobele salimu.
18 However, when my master, [the king, ] goes into the temple of the god Rimmon to worship him/it there, and he is leaning on my arm, I hope/desire that Yahweh will forgive me because I will have to bow down, too.”
Amola, na da agoane hanai gala. Na hina (Silia hina bagade) ani da Limone (Silia ‘gode’) amo ea debolo diasuga, ema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: ahoasea, Hina Gode da amo hou gogolema: ne olofomu na da hanai. Amabela: ? E da amo hou gogolema: ne olofoma: bela: ?”
19 Elisha replied, “Go home, and do not worry about that.” So Naaman [and his servants] started to travel home.
Ilaisia da amane sia: i, “Di hahawane olofole masa!” Amalu, Na: ima: ne da fisili, asi. E da logoga asi mae sedagiliwane ahoanoba,
20 But then Elisha’s servant Gehazi said to himself, “It is not good that my master allowed this Syrian man to leave like this. He should have accepted his gifts. So just as certainly as Yahweh lives, I will go and catch up with Naaman and get something from him.”
Ilaisia ea hawa: hamosu dunu Gihaisai, da hisu asigi dawa: su ganodini amane dawa: i, “Na hina e da Na: ima: ne ea ema bidi amo mae iawane, udigili masa: ne, logo doasi dagoi. E da Na: ima: ne ea imunusa: sia: i amo lamu da defea galu. Na da Hina Gode Esala Ea Dioba: le agoane ilegesa. Na da ema fa: no bobogele, bidi ea gaguli buhagilalebe, amo na lamu.”
21 So Gehazi hurried to catch up with Naaman. When Naaman saw Gehazi running toward him, he [stopped] the chariot [in which he was riding, ] jumped out, and went to see what Gehazi wanted. He asked him, “Is everything all right?”
Amaiba: le, e da Na: ima: ne asi fa: no bobogei. Na: ima: ne da dunu ema hehenaia fa: no bobogelalebe ba: loba, e da e gousa: musa: ea ‘sa: liode’ da: iya esalu, amo gudu aliaguduli, ema amane adole ba: i, “Adi giadofabela: ?”
22 Gehazi replied, “Yes, but two young prophets from the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim live have just arrived. Elisha has sent me to tell you that he would like 75 pounds of silver and two sets of clothing to give to them.”
Gihaisai da bu adole i, “Giadofai hame! Be na hina da dima amane sia: sima: ne, na asunasi. ‘Ifala: ime agolo soge amogai, balofede gilisisu amoga, balofede dunu aduna da wahawane doaga: i dagoi. E da dia amo dunuma silifa fage 3,000 agoane amola ga: su abula noga: idafa aduna, elama ima: ne sia: sa.”
23 Naaman replied, “Certainly! You can have 150 pounds of silver!” He urged Gehazi to take it. He also gave him two sets of clothing. He tied up the silver in two bags and gave them to two of his servants to carry back to Elisha.
Na: ima: ne da bu adole i, “Defeadafa! Be di silifa fage 6,000 agoane lama!” E da amo lama: ne ouwalei. Na: ima: ne da silifa fage esa aduna ganodini sanawene lala: gi. Amola e da esa amola ga: su abula noga: idafa aduna amo ea hawa: hamosu dunu aduna elama ianu, ela Gihaisai bisili masa: ne asunasi.
24 But when they arrived at the hill [where Elisha lived], Gehazi took the silver and the clothes from Naaman’s servants and sent the servants back to Naaman. Then he took those things into his house and hid them.
Ilia da agolo amoga Ilaisia da esalu, amoga doaga: loba, Gihaisai da esa aduna elama lale, hi diasu ganodini gaguli asili, ligisi. Amalalu, e da Na: ima: ne ea hawa: hamosu dunu buhagima: ne asunasi.
25 When he went to Elisha, Elisha asked him, “Where did you go, Gehazi?” Gehazi replied, “I did not go anywhere.”
Gihaisai da diasua buhagilaloba, Ilaisia da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da habidili asibala: ?” E bu adole i, “Hina! Na da enodini hame asi!”
26 Elisha asked him, [“Do you not realize that] my spirit was there when Naaman got out of his chariot to talk with you? This is certainly not [RHQ] the time to accept gifts of money and clothes and olive groves and vineyards and sheep and oxen and servants!
Be Ilaisia da amane sia: i, “Na: ima: ne da ea ‘sa: liode’ fila heda: lu, di gousa: musa: gudu aliagudusia, na a: silibu da amogawi esalebeba: le, hou huluane ba: i dagoi. Wewaba amo muni amola abula amola olife sagai, waini sagai, sibi, bulamagau amola hawa: hamosu dunu bidi agoane lamu da defea hame gala.
27 Because you have done this, you and your children and all your descendants, forever, will have leprosy just like Naaman had!” And when Gehazi left the room, he was a leper! His skin was as white as snow!
Wali, Na: ima: ne ea oloi da dima madelamu. Amola di amola digaga fi da eso huluane amo olo madelale esalumu.” Gihaisai da fisili asili, Na: ima: ne ea musa: lebelosi olo amo madelai dagoi ba: i. Ea da: i gadofo da anegagi ofo defele, ahea: iyaidafa ba: i.
