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).
Si Naaman nga, na punong kawal ng hukbo ng hari sa Siria, ay dakilang lalake sa kaniyang panginoon, at marangal, sapagka't sa pamamagitan niya'y nagbigay ang Panginoon ng pagtatagumpay sa Siria: siya rin nama'y malakas na lalake na may tapang, nguni't may ketong.
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.
At ang mga taga Siria ay nagsilabas na mga pulupulutong, at nagdala ng bihag na mula sa lupain ng Israel na isang dalagita; at siya'y naglingkod sa asawa ni Naaman.
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.”
At sinabi niya sa kaniyang babaing panginoon. Mano nawa ang aking panginoon ay humarap sa propeta na nasa Samaria! kung magkagayo'y pagagalingin niya siya sa kaniyang ketong.
4 [Naaman’s wife told her husband] what the girl from Israel had said, [and] Naaman told [that] to the king.
At pumasok ang isa, at isinaysay sa kaniyang panginoon, na sinasabi, Ganito't ganito ang sabi ng dalagita na nagmula sa lupain ng Israel.
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].
At sinabi ng hari sa Siria, Yumaon ka, yumaon ka, at ako'y magpapadala ng sulat sa hari sa Israel. At siya'y yumaon, at nagdala siya ng sangpung talentong pilak, at anim na libong putol na ginto, at sangpung pangpalit na bihisan.
At kaniyang dinala ang sulat sa hari sa Israel, na sinasabi, At pagka nga dumating sa iyo ang sulat na ito, ay talastasin mo na aking sinugo si Naaman na aking lingkod sa iyo, upang iyong pagalingin siya sa kaniyang ketong.
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!”
At nangyari, nang mabasa ng hari sa Israel ang sulat, na kaniyang hinapak ang kaniyang suot at nagsabi, Ako ba'y Dios upang pumatay at bumuhay, na ang lalaking ito ay nagsugo sa akin upang pagalingin ito sa kaniyang ketong? nguni't talastasin mo, isinasamo ko sa iyo, at tingnan mo kung paanong siya'y humahanap ng dahilan laban sa akin.
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].”
At nagkagayon, nang mabalitaan ni Eliseo na lalake ng Dios na hinapak ng hari sa Israel ang kaniyang suot, na siya'y nagsugo sa hari, na nagsabi: Bakit mo hinapak ang iyong mga kasuutan? paparituhin mo siya sa akin, at kaniyang malalaman na may isang propeta sa Israel.
9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots to Elisha’s house and waited outside the door.
Sa gayo'y naparoon si Naaman na dala ang kaniyang mga kabayo at ang kaniyang mga karo, at tumayo sa pintuan ng bahay ni Eliseo.
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.”
At si Eliseo ay nagsugo ng sugo sa kaniya, na nagsasabi, ikaw ay yumaon, at maligo sa Jordan na makapito, at ang iyong laman ay sasauli sa iyo, at ikaw ay magiging malinis.
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!
Nguni't si Naaman ay naginit, at umalis, at nagsabi, Narito, aking inakalang, walang pagsalang lalabasin niya ako, at tatayo, at tatawag sa pangalan ng Panginoon niyang Dios, at pagagalawgalawin ang kaniyang kamay sa kinaroroonan, at mapapawi ang ketong.
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.
Hindi ba ang Abana at ang Pharphar, na mga ilog ng Damasco, ay mainam kay sa lahat ng tubig sa Israel? hindi ba ako makapaliligo sa mga yaon, at maging malinis? Sa gayo'y pumihit siya at umalis sa paginit.
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]
At ang kaniyang mga lingkod ay nagsilapit, at nagsipagsalita sa kaniya, at nagsabi, Ama ko, kung ipinagawa sa iyo ng propeta ang anomang mahirap na bagay, hindi mo ba gagawin? gaano nga kung sabihin niya sa iyo, Ikaw ay maligo, at maging malinis?
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.
Nang magkagayo'y lumusong siya at sumugbong makapito sa Jordan, ayon sa sabi ng lalake ng Dios: at ang kaniyang laman ay nagsauling gaya ng laman ng isang munting bata, at siya'y naging malinis.
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]!”
At siya'y bumalik sa lalake ng Dios, siya at ang buong pulutong niya, at naparoon, at tumayo sa harap niya: at siya'y nagsabi, Narito ngayon, aking talastas na walang Dios sa buong lupa, kundi sa Israel: isinasamo ko ngayon sa iyo na tanggapin mo ang kaloob ng iyong lingkod.
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.
Nguni't kaniyang sinabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, na nakatayo ako sa harap niya, wala akong tatanggapin. At ipinilit niya sa kaniyang kunin; nguni't siya'y tumanggi.
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.
At sinabi ni Naaman, Kung hindi, isinasamo ko pa sa iyo, na bigyan ko ang iyong lingkod ng lupang mapapasan ng dalawang mula; sapagka't ang iyong lingkod buhat ngayon ay hindi maghahandog ng handog na susunugin o hain man sa ibang mga dios, kundi sa Panginoon.
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.”
Sa bagay na ito'y patawarin nawa ng Panginoon ang iyong lingkod, pagka ang aking panginoon ay pumasok sa bahay ni Rimmon upang sumamba roon, at siya'y umagapay sa aking kamay, at ako'y yumukod sa bahay ni Rimmon, pagyukod ko sa bahay ni Rimmon, na patawarin nawa ng Panginoon ang iyong lingkod sa bagay na ito.
19 Elisha replied, “Go home, and do not worry about that.” So Naaman [and his servants] started to travel home.
At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ikaw ay yumaong payapa. Sa gayo'y nilisan niya siya ng may aguwat na kaunti.
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.”
Nguni't si Giezi, na lingkod ni Eliseo na lalake ng Dios, ay nagsabi, Narito, pinalagpas ng aking panginoon ang Naamang ito na taga Siria, sa di pagtanggap sa kaniyang mga kamay ng kaniyang dala; buhay ang Panginoon, tatakbuhin ko siya, at kukuha ako ng anoman sa kaniya.
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?”
Sa gayo'y sinundan ni Giezi si Naaman, at nang makita ni Naaman na isa'y humahabol sa kaniya, siya'y bumaba sa karo na sinalubong niya, at sinabi, Lahat ba'y mabuti?
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.”
At kaniyang sinabi, Lahat ay mabuti. Sinugo ako ng aking panginoon, na sinabi, Narito, dumating sa akin ngayon mula sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim ang dalawang binata sa mga anak ng mga propeta: isinasamo ko sa iyo na bigyan mo sila ng isang talentong pilak, at dalawang pangpalit na bihisan.
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.
At sinabi ni Naaman, Matuwa ka, kunin mo ang dalawang talento. At ipinilit niya sa kaniya, at ibinalot ang dalawang talentong pilak sa dalawang supot, sangpu ng dalawang pangpalit na bihisan, at mga ipinasan sa dalawa sa kaniyang mga bataan; at dinala nila sa unahan niya.
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.
At nang siya'y dumating sa burol, kinuha niya sa kanilang kamay, at itinago niya sa bahay: at pinayaon niya ang mga lalake, at sila'y nagsiyaon.
25 When he went to Elisha, Elisha asked him, “Where did you go, Gehazi?” Gehazi replied, “I did not go anywhere.”
Nguni't siya'y pumasok at tumayo sa harap ng kaniyang panginoon. At sinabi ni Eliseo sa kaniya, Saan ka nanggaling Giezi? At kaniyang sinabi, Ang iyong lingkod ay walang pinaroonan.
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!
At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ba sumasa iyo ang aking puso nang ang lalake ay bumalik mula sa kaniyang karo na sinasalubong ka? panahon ba ng pagtanggap ng salapi, at pagtanggap ng bihisan, at ng mga olibohan, at ng mga ubasan, at ng mga tupa, at ng mga baka, at ng mga aliping lalake at babae?
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!
Ang ketong nga ni Naaman ay kakapit sa iyo, at sa iyong binhi magpakailan man. At siya'y umalis sa kaniyang harapan na may ketong na kasingputi ng niebe.
