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).
Ni-ondaty ra’elahy aman-talè’e t’i Naamane, mpifeleke ty valobohò’ i Arame, nanan-kasy amy te tinolo’ Iehovà fandrebahañe ho a i Arame; fanalolahy nahasibeke ondatio, f’ie niangamae.
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.
Teo te niakatse am-pirimboñañe o nte-Arameo naho ninday ty ajaja ampela an-drohy boak’ an-tane’ Israele añe, ie ty niatrake ty tañanjomba’ i Naamane.
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.”
Le hoe re amy rakemba talè’ey, Lonike te tamy mpitoky e Somerone añey ty talèko, le ho nijangañ’ amy haangamae’ey.
4 [Naaman’s wife told her husband] what the girl from Israel had said, [and] Naaman told [that] to the king.
Aa le nimb’eo re nitalily aman-talè’e ty hoe: Hoe zao naho ty hoe ty natalili’ i anak’ ampatañe boak’ an-tane’ Israeley.
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].
Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Arame. Akia, henaneo, le hañitrifako taratasy ty mpanjaka’ Israele. Le nienga re ninday talenta volafoty folo naho bogady volamena eneñ-arivo vaho fiovan-tsaroñe folo.
Le nendese’e mb’amy mpanjaka’ Israeley añe i taratasy nanao ty hoe: Ie henaneo, ami’ty fiavi’ ty taratasy toy ama’oy, ingo fa niraheko mb’ama’o t’i Naamane mpitoroko, hañafaha’o i haangamae’ey.
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!”
Aa ie namaky i taratasiy i mpanjakay le rinia’e o siki’eo nanao ty hoe, Andrianañahare v’iraho hahafate naho hahaveloñe, te nirahe’ ondatio amako t’indaty toy hañafahañe ty haangamae ama’e? Aa le isafirio naho oniño t’ie manao lie-drokoñe amako.
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].”
Aa ie jinanji’ i Elisà, ondatin’ Añahare, te nandriatse ty saro’e i mpanjakay, le nirahe’e mb’amy mpanjakay ty hoe: Akore ty nandriata’o saroñe? Ampombao mb’ amako mb’ etoa hahafohina’e te amam-pitoky t’Israele.
9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots to Elisha’s house and waited outside the door.
Aa le nimb’eo t’i Naamane rekets’ o soavala’eo, naho i sarete’ey, vaho nijohañe an-dala’ i Elisà eo.
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.”
Nañitrifa’ i Elisà ìrake nanao ty hoe: Akia, misasà im-pito am’ Iordaney, le ho jangañe ty sandri’o vaho halio.
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!
Fe niavotse mb’eo t’i Naamane, le hoe re amy hatorifi’ey: Inay ie, nataoko te tsy mete tsy ho niakatse amako, ho nijohañe eo nikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e, le hañelahela fitañe ambone’ i rarey hañafaha’e i haangamaey.
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.
Tsy lombolombo’ ze hene rano’ Israele hao ty Amanà naho ty Par’pare, oñe e Damesèk’ ao? Tsy hamake hisasa ami’ty raik’ am’ iereo haliovako? Le nitsambolitio’e fa nitorìtotse.
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]
Niharinea’ o mpitoro’eo nanao ty hoe. O roaeko, naho nampanoe’ i mpitokiy raha ra’elahy, tsy ho nanoe’o? Àntsake t’ie nanao ty hoe: Misasà, halio?
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.
Aa le nizotso mb’eo re nilipotse im-pito am’ Iordaney, ty amy saontsi’ indatin’ Àñahareiy; le nibalike indraike ho hambañe ami’ty nofon’ anak’ ajaja ty nofo’e, vaho nalio,
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]!”
le nibalike mb’am’ indatin’ Añaharey, ie naho o mpindre-lia ama’e iabio; nimbeo re nijohañe añatrefa’e, nanao ty hoe: Fohiko henaneo te tsy aman-Añahare ty tane toy naho tsy e Israele ao avao. Ie amy zao, ehe, andrambeso ravoravo amo mpitoro’oo.
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.
Fa hoe re: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà ijohañako, izaho tsy handrambe. Ndra te nosihe’e handrambe, nifoneñe.
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.
Le hoe t’i Naamane, Miambane ama’o, tsy hatolotse amo mpitoro’oo hao ty tane ho entam-borìke roe? Amy te le lia’e tsy hañenga horoañe ndra hanao soroñe amo ‘ndrahare ila’eo o mpitoro’oo henane zao naho tsy am’ Iehovà avao.
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.”
Fe amo raha zao, ehe, te hapo’ Iehovà ty hakeom-pitoro’o, te ie mimoak’ an-kiboho’ i Rimone ty talèko hitalaho naho manazok’ an-tañako hibokoboko an-kiboho’ i Rimone ao; te hado’ Iehovà i tahi’ o mpitoro’ooy, izaho miambane an-kiboho’ i Rimone ao.
19 Elisha replied, “Go home, and do not worry about that.” So Naaman [and his servants] started to travel home.
Le hoe re ama’e Akia, an-kanintsiñe. Aa ie nisitake eroa hoek’ eo,
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.”
le hoe ty natao’ i Gekazý mpitoro’ i Elisà, indatin’ Añaharey, Inge te napo’ i talèko t’i Naamane nte-Arame, ie tsy nandrambe am-pità’e o nendese’eo. Aa kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, hihitrihitry mb’ama’e iraho hangalak’ ama’e.
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?”
Aa le niheañe’ i Gekazý t’i Naamane, le ie niisa’ i Naamane t’ie nañeañe aze, le nizotso an-tsarete’e hifañaoñe ama’e, vaho hoe re: manintsiñe hao?
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.”
Le hoe re, Mbe soa, fa nañirak’ ahy i talèkoy, hinday ty hoe: Inao, pok’ amako aniany ty ajalahy roe anam-pitoky boak’ am-bohi’ Efraime añe, Ehe, anoloro talenta volafoty naho fiovan-tsiky roe.
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.
Le hoe t’i Naamane, Aa naho tea’o rambeso talenta roe. Le nañosik’ aze vaho nafato’e an-koroñe roe ao ty talenta volafoty roe mitraok’ ami’ty fiovan-tsaroñe roe naho nampipoha’e ami’ty mpitoro’e roe vaho nendese’ iareo aolo’e mb’eo.
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.
Ie avy an-tamboho ey, le rinambe’e am-pità’ iareo o rahao, naho napo’e añ’ anjomba ao; naho nirahe’e mb’ eo indaty rey vaho nienga. Nimoak’ ao re nijohañe añatrefa’ i talè’ey.
25 When he went to Elisha, Elisha asked him, “Where did you go, Gehazi?” Gehazi replied, “I did not go anywhere.”
Le hoe t’i Elisà ama’e. Hirik’ aia v’iheo Gekazý? Le hoe re: Tsy nimb’ aia o mpitoro’oo.
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!
Aa hoe re tama’e: Tsy nindre ama’o hao ty troko, ie nitolik’ amy sarete’ey indatiy hifanalaka ama’o? Andro handrambesan-drala ke handrambesan-tsikiñe naho tanen’ olive naho tanembahe naho añondry naho añombe naho lahilahy mpitoroñe vaho ampela mpitoroñe hao henaneo?
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!
Aa le hipitek’ ama’o naho amo tiri’oo nainai’e ty haangamae’ i Naamane. Aa le angamae foty mikatsatsaoke re te niavota’e.
