2 Kings 5
1 Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great and honorable man in his master's view, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Aram. He was also a strong, courageous man, but he was a leper.
Na'aman, Kongen af Arams Hærfører, havde meget at sige hos sin Herre og var højt agtet; thi ved ham havde HERREN givet Aramæerne Sejr; men Manden var spedalsk.
2 The Arameans had gone out raiding in bands and had taken a little girl from the land of Israel. She served Naaman's wife.
Nu havde Aramæerne engang paa et Strejftog røvet en lille Pige i Israels Land; hun var kommet i Tjeneste hos Na'amans Hustru,
3 The girl said to her mistress, “I wish that my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal my master of his leprosy.”
og hun sagde til sin Frue: »Gid min Herre var hos Profeten i Samaria; han vilde sikkert skille ham af med hans Spedalskhed!«
4 So Naaman went in and told the king what the little girl from the land of Israel had said.
Saa kom Na'aman og fortalte sin Herre, hvad Pigen fra Israels Land havde sagt.
5 So the king of Aram said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” Naaman left and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothes.
Da sagde Arams Konge: »Rejs derhen! Jeg skal sende et Brev med til Israels Konge!« Saa rejste han og tog ti Talenter Sølv, 6000 Sekel Guld og ti Sæt Festklæder med.
6 He also took the letter to the king of Israel that said, “Now when this letter is brought to you, you will see that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”
Og han overbragte Israels Konge Brevet. Deri stod der: »Naar dette Brev kommer dig i Hænde, skal du vide, at jeg sender min Tjener Na'aman til dig, for at du skal skille ham af med hans Spedalskhed!«
7 When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man wants me to cure a man of his leprosy? It seems he is seeking to start an argument with me.”
Da Israels Konge havde læst Brevet, sønderrev han sine klæder og sagde: »Er jeg Gud, saa jeg raader over Liv og Død, siden han skriver til mig, at jeg skal skille en Mand af med hans Spedalskhed Nej, I kan da se, at han søger Lejlighed til Strid med mig!«
8 So when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent word to the king saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
Men da den Guds Mand Elisa hørte, at Israels Konge havde sønderrevet sine klæder, sendte han det Bud til Kongen: »Hvorfor sønderriver du dine Klæder? Lad ham komme til mig, saa skal han kende, at der er en Profet i Israel!«
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots and stood at the door of Elisha's house.
Da kom Na'aman med Heste og Vogne og holdt uden for Døren til Elisas Hus.
10 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and dip yourself into the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored; you will be clean.”
Elisa sendte et Bud ud til ham og lod sige: »Gaa hen og bad dig syv Gange i Jordan, saa bliver dit Legeme atter friskt, og du bliver ren!«
11 But Naaman was angry and went away and said, “Look, I thought he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place and heal my leprosy.
Men Na'aman blev vred og drog bort med de Ord: »Se, jeg havde tænkt, at han vilde komme ud til mig, staa og paakalde HERREN sin Guds Navn og svinge sin Haand i Retning af Helligdommen og saaledes gøre Ende paa Spedalskheden!
12 Are not Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Can I not bathe in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.
Er ikke Damaskus's Floder Abana og Parpar fuldt saa gode som alle Israels Vande? Kunde jeg ikke blive ren ved at bade mig i dem?« Og han vendte sig og drog bort i Vrede.
13 Then Naaman's servants came near and spoke to him, “My father, if the prophet had commanded you do some difficult thing, would you not have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you to simply, 'Dip yourself and be clean?'”
Men hans Trælle kom og sagde til ham: »Dersom Profeten havde paalagt dig noget, som var vanskeligt vilde du saa ikke have gjort det? Hvor meget mere da nu, da han sagde til dig: Bad dig, saa bliver du ren!«
14 Then he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, obeying the instructions of the man of God. His flesh was restored again like the flesh of a little child, and he was healed.
Saa drog han ned og dykkede sig syv Gange i Jordan efter den Guds Mands Ord; og hans Legeme blev atter friskt som et Barns, og han blev ren.
15 Naaman returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him. He said, “Look, now I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. So therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”
Saa vendte han med hele sit Følge tilbage til den Guds Mand, og da han var kommet derhen, traadte han frem for ham og sagde: »Nu ved jeg, at der ingensteds paa Jorden er nogen Gud uden i Israel! Saa modtag nu en Takkegave af din Træl!«
16 But Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” Naaman urged Elisha to take a gift, but he refused.
Men han svarede: »Saa sandt HERREN lever, for hvis Aasyn jeg staar, jeg modtager ikke noget!« Og skønt han nødte ham, vægrede han sig ved at modtage noget.
17 So Naaman said, “If not, then I ask you to let there be given to your servant two mule loads of earth, for from now on, your servant will offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to any god but Yahweh.
Da sagde Na'aman: »Saa lad da være! Men lad din Træl faa saa meget Jord, som et Par Muldyr kan bære, thi din Træl vil aldrig mere ofre Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer til nogen anden Gud end HERREN!
18 In this one thing may Yahweh pardon your servant, that is, when my king goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may Yahweh pardon your servant in this matter.”
Men i een Ting vil HERREN nok bære over med din Træl: Naar min Herre gaar ind i Rimmons Hus for at tilbede og støtter sig til min Arm og jeg saa sammen med ham kaster mig til Jorden i Rimmons Hus, da vil HERREN nok bære over med din Træl i den Ting!«
19 Elisha said to him, “Go in peace.” So Naaman left.
Han svarede: »Far i Fred!« Men da han var kommet et Stykke hen ad Vejen,
20 He had traveled only a short distance, when Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God said to himself, “Look, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean by not receiving from his hands gifts that he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him and receive something from him.”
sagde Gehazi, den Guds Mand Elisas Tjener, ved sig selv: »Der har min Herre ladet denne Aramæer Na'aman slippe og ikke modtaget af ham, hvad han havde med; saa sandt HERREN lever, jeg vil løbe efter ham for at faa noget af ham!«
21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he jumped down from his chariot to meet him and said, “Is everything alright?”
Saa satte Gehazi efter Na'aman, og da Na'aman saa ham komme løbende efter sig, sprang han af Vognen, gik ham i Møde og spurgte: »Staar det godt til?«
22 Gehazi said, “Everything is alright. My master has sent me, saying, 'See, now there have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes.'”
Han svarede: »Ja, det staar godt til! Min Herre sender mig med det Bud: Der kom lige nu to unge Mænd, som hører til Profetsønnerne, til mig fra Efraims Bjerge: giv dem en Talent Sølv og to Sæt Festklæder!«
23 Naaman replied, “I am very happy to give you two talents.” Naaman urged Gehazi and tied two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothes, and laid them on two of his servants, who carried the bags of silver before Gehazi.
Da sagde Na'aman: »Tag dog mod to Talenter Sølv!« Og han nødte ham. Saa bandt han to Talenter ind i to Punge og tog to Sæt Festklæder og gav to af sine Trælle dem, for at de skulde bære dem foran ham.
24 When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the bags of silver from their hands and hid them in the house; he sent the men away, and they left.
Men da de kom til Højen, tog han Pengene fra dem, gemte dem i Huset og lod Mændene gaa.
25 When Gehazi went in and stood before his master, Elisha said to him, “Where have you come from, Gehazi?” He answered, “Your servant went nowhere.”
Saa gik han ind til sin Herre og traadte hen til ham. Da spurgte Elisa: »Hvor har du været, Gehazi?« Han svarede: »Din Træl har ingen Steder været!«
26 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Was not my spirit with you when the man turned his chariot to meet you? Is this a time to accept money and clothes, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, and male servants and female servants?
Saa sagde han til ham: »Gik jeg ikke i Aanden hos dig, da en stod af sin Vogn og gik tilbage for at møde dig? Nu har du faaet Penge, og du kan faa Klæder, Olivenlunde og Vingaarde, Smaakvæg og Hornkvæg, Trælle og Trælkvinder,
27 So the leprosy of Naaman will be on you and your descendants forever.” So Gehazi went out from his presence, a leper as white as snow.
men Na'amans Spedalskhed skal hænge ved dig og dit Afkom til evig Tid!« Og Gehazi gik fra ham, hvid som Sne af Spedalskhed.
