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.
Naaman princeps militiae regis Syriae erat vir magnus apud dominum suum et honoratus per illum enim dedit Dominus salutem Syriae erat autem vir fortis et dives sed leprosus
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.
porro de Syria egressi fuerant latrunculi et captivam duxerant de terra Israhel puellam parvulam quae erat in obsequio uxoris Naaman
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.”
quae ait ad dominam suam utinam fuisset dominus meus ad prophetam qui est in Samaria profecto curasset eum a lepra quam habet
4 So Naaman went in and told the king what the little girl from the land of Israel had said.
ingressus est itaque Naaman ad dominum suum et nuntiavit ei dicens sic et sic locuta est puella de terra Israhel
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.
dixitque ei rex Syriae vade et mittam litteras ad regem Israhel qui cum profectus esset et tulisset secum decem talenta argenti et sex milia aureos et decem mutatoria vestimentorum
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.”
detulit litteras ad regem Israhel in haec verba cum acceperis epistulam hanc scito quod miserim ad te Naaman servum meum ut cures eum a lepra sua
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.”
cumque legisset rex Israhel litteras scidit vestimenta sua et ait numquid Deus sum ut occidere possim et vivificare quia iste misit ad me ut curem hominem a lepra sua animadvertite et videte quod occasiones quaerat adversum me
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.”
quod cum audisset Heliseus vir Dei scidisse videlicet regem Israhel vestimenta sua misit ad eum dicens quare scidisti vestimenta tua veniat ad me et sciat esse prophetam in Israhel
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots and stood at the door of Elisha's house.
venit ergo Naaman cum equis et curribus et stetit ad ostium domus Helisei
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.”
misitque ad eum Heliseus nuntium dicens vade et lavare septies in Iordane et recipiet sanitatem caro tua atque mundaberis
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.
iratus Naaman recedebat dicens putabam quod egrederetur ad me et stans invocaret nomen Domini Dei sui et tangeret manu sua locum leprae et curaret me
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.
numquid non meliores sunt Abana et Pharphar fluvii Damasci omnibus aquis Israhel ut laver in eis et munder cum ergo vertisset se et abiret indignans
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?'”
accesserunt ad eum servi sui et locuti sunt ei pater si rem grandem dixisset tibi propheta certe facere debueras quanto magis quia nunc dixit tibi lavare et mundaberis
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.
descendit et lavit in Iordane septies iuxta sermonem viri Dei et restituta est caro eius sicut caro pueri parvuli et mundatus est
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.”
reversusque ad virum Dei cum universo comitatu suo venit et stetit coram eo et ait vere scio quod non sit Deus in universa terra nisi tantum in Israhel obsecro itaque ut accipias benedictionem a servo tuo
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.
at ille respondit vivit Dominus ante quem sto quia non accipiam cumque vim faceret penitus non adquievit
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.
dixitque Naaman ut vis sed obsecro concede mihi servo tuo ut tollam onus duorum burdonum de terra non enim faciet ultra servus tuus holocaustum aut victimam diis alienis nisi Domino
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.”
hoc autem solum est de quo depreceris Dominum pro servo tuo quando ingreditur dominus meus templum Remmon ut adoret et illo innitente super manum meam si adoravero in templo Remmon adorante me in eodem loco ut ignoscat mihi Dominus servo tuo pro hac re
19 Elisha said to him, “Go in peace.” So Naaman left.
qui dixit ei vade in pace abiit ergo ab eo electo terrae tempore
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.”
dixitque Giezi puer viri Dei pepercit dominus meus Naaman Syro isti ut non acciperet ab eo quae adtulit vivit Dominus quia curram post eum et accipiam ab eo aliquid
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?”
et secutus est Giezi post tergum Naaman quem cum vidisset ille currentem ad se desilivit de curru in occursum eius et ait rectene sunt omnia
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.'”
et ille ait recte dominus meus misit me dicens modo venerunt ad me duo adulescentes de monte Ephraim ex filiis prophetarum da eis talentum argenti et vestes mutatorias duplices
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.
dixitque Naaman melius est ut accipias duo talenta et coegit eum ligavitque duo talenta argenti in duobus saccis et duplicia vestimenta et inposuit duobus pueris suis qui et portaverunt coram eo
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.
cumque venisset iam vesperi tulit de manu eorum et reposuit in domo dimisitque viros et abierunt
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.”
ipse autem ingressus stetit coram domino suo et dixit Heliseus unde venis Giezi qui respondit non ivit servus tuus quoquam
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?
at ille nonne ait cor meum in praesenti erat quando reversus est homo de curru suo in occursum tui nunc igitur accepisti argentum et accepisti vestes ut emas oliveta et vineta et oves et boves et servos et ancillas
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.
sed et lepra Naaman adherebit tibi et semini tuo in sempiternum et egressus est ab eo leprosus quasi nix
