2 Kings 5
1 Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance to Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.
Nʼoge a, Neeman bụ ọchịagha ndị agha eze Aram, Ọ bụ onye dị ukwuu nʼanya nna ya ukwu, bụrụkwa onye a na-enye nsọpụrụ nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼaka ya nye ndị agha Aram mmeri nʼọgbọ agha dị iche iche. Ọ bụ dike na dimkpa nʼagha, maọbụ onye ekpenta.
2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
Otu mgbe, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị agha Aram na-apụnara ndị mmadụ ihe pụrụ ga dọta otu nwaagbọghọ nta site nʼIzrel, onye na-ejere nwunye Neeman ozi.
3 And she said to her mistress, I would that my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would cure him of his leprosy.
Ọ sịrị nne ya ukwu, “Ọ gaara atọ m ụtọ ma a sị na nna m ukwu ga-aga hụ onye amụma nọ na Sameria. Ọ ga-agwọ ya ọrịa ekpenta a.”
4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.
Neeman nụrụ nke a, bilie gaa kọọrọ eze Aram ihe niile nwaagbọghọ a si Izrel kwuru.
5 And the king of Syria said, Go, now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
Eze Aram sịrị, “Bilie, gaa, aga m ezigakwara eze Izrel akwụkwọ ozi.” Ya mere Neeman gara, ọ chịịrị talenti ọlaọcha iri, na puku shekel ọlaedo isii, na uwe ọma dị iche iche, nke dị iri nʼọnụọgụgụ.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter hath come to thee, behold, with it I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest cure him of his leprosy.
Nke a bụkwa ihe dị nʼime akwụkwọ ahụ eze Aram degaara eze Izrel: “Nwoke a ji akwụkwọ a bịakwute gị bụ Neeman, onyeisi ndị agha m. Biko, achọrọ m ka ị gwọọ ya ọrịa ekpenta dị ya nʼahụ.”
7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send to me to cure a man of his leprosy? therefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
Ngwangwa eze Izrel gụrụ akwụkwọ ahụ, ọ dọwara uwe ya sị, “Abụ m Chineke? A pụrụ m ime ka mmadụ nwụọ na ime ka mmadụ dị ndụ? Gịnị mere nwoke a ji ezitere m onye m ga-agwọ ọrịa ekpenta? Lee ka o si na-achọ ụzọ anyị ga-eji nwee esemokwu.”
8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Why hast thou torn thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
Mgbe Ịlaisha onye Chineke nụrụ na eze Izrel dọwara uwe ya, o ziri ozi a zigara ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji dọwaa uwe gị? Zitere m Neeman. Ọ ga-amatakwa na e nwere onye amụma nʼIzrel.”
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
Ya mere, Neeman bịarutere guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ Ịlaisha, ya na ịnyịnya ya, na ụgbọ agha ya.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
Ịlaisha zigara onyeozi ya nke bịara zie sị ya, “Jee saa ahụ gị ugboro asaa nʼosimiri Jọdan. I mee nke a, ekpenta ahụ ga-esi nʼakụkụ ahụ gị niile pụọ. Ị ga-adịkwa ọcha.”
11 But Naaman was furious, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and cure the leprosy.
Ma Neeman were iwe nke ukwuu tụgharịa bido ịlaghachi ebe o si bịa. Mgbe ọ na-ala, ọ na-ekwu na-asị, “Echere m na ọ ga-apụkwute m, guzo, kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, fufee aka ya nʼebe ahụ ọrịa m dị, gwọọ m ọrịa ekpenta m.
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
Abana na Fapa, bụ osimiri dị na Damaskọs, ha adịghị mma karịa mmiri Izrel niile? Ọ bụ na m enweghị ike ịsa ahụ nʼime ha ma dị ọcha.” Ọ tụgharịrị jiri ọnụma pụọ.
13 And his servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
Ma ndị ozi Neeman jekwuru ya sị ya, “Nna anyị, a sị na ọ bụ ihe sịrị ike nke ukwuu ka onye amụma ahụ gwara gị sị gị mee, ị garaghị eme ya? Ma ihe ọ sị gị mee bụ naanị ‘Gaa saa ahụ gị ka ị dị ọcha.’”
14 Then he went down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
Ya mere, ọ gara sụnye onwe ya nʼime osimiri Jọdan ugboro asaa, dịka onye nke Chineke gwara ya. Anụ ahụ ya lọghachiri dị ọcha ka anụ ahụ nwantakịrị.
15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing from thy servant.
Mgbe ahụ, Neeman na ndị niile ya na ha so laghachikwutere onye nke Chineke. O guzoro nʼihu ya sị, “Ugbu a amatala m na ọ dịghị Chineke ọzọ dị nʼụwa niile ma ọ bụghị naanị nʼIzrel. Ya mere, biko, nara onyinye a site nʼaka ohu gị.”
16 But he said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
Ma Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, bụ onye m na-ejere ozi, agaghị m ana gị ihe ọbụla.” Ma Neeman rịọrọ ya arịrịọ ka ọ nara ya, ma ọ jụrụ ajụ.
17 And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.
Mgbe ahụ Neeman sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị anara, biko, kwerenụ ka m kporo aja nke ịnyịnya abụọ nwere ike ibu. Nʼihi na site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, agaghị m achụrụ chi ọzọ aja nsure ọkụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị.
18 In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.
Ma ka Onyenwe anyị gbaghara ohu gị naanị otu ihe a. Mgbe nna m ukwu banyere nʼụlọ arụsị Rimọn ịkpọ isiala, mgbe ọ na-adabere nʼaka m, nke ga-eme ka mụ onwe m kpọọkwa isiala. Mgbe m si otu a kpọọ isiala nʼụlọ arụsị Rimọn, ka Onyenwe anyị gbaghara ohu gị nʼihi nke a.”
19 And he said to him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.
Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, laa nʼudo.” Mgbe Neeman lawara, o jerubeghị ebe dị anya,
20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat from him.
Gehazi, bụ onyeozi Ịlaisha onye nke Chineke, sịrị nʼobi ya, “Nna m ukwu emezighị ikwere ka Neeman onye Aram laa na-anataghị ya ihe o ji bịa. Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, aga m eji ọsọ gbakwuru ya napụta ya ụfọdụ ihe ahụ.”
21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
Ya mere, Gehazi gbara ọsọ gbakwuru Neeman. Mgbe Neeman hụrụ ya ka ọ gba ọsọ na-abịa, o si nʼelu ụgbọ agha ya wudata gaa zute ya, jụọ ya sị: “Udo ọ dịkwa?”
22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there have come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
“E, udo dị,” ka Gehazi zara, “Onyenwe m zitere m ka m gwa gị, ‘Lee, ụmụ okorobịa abụọ nʼetiti ndị amụma si nʼugwu Ifrem bịakwute m. Biko nye ha otu talenti ọlaọcha na uwe mgbanwe abụọ.’”
23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bore them before him.
Ma Neeman zara sị ya, “Biko, were talenti abụọ.” Ọ kwagidere Gehazi ka ọ nara ha. O kechiri talenti ọlaọcha abụọ ahụ nʼakpa abụọ, tinyere uwe mgbanwe abụọ. O bunyere ndị ohu ya ka ha buru ya na-aga nʼihu Gehazi.
24 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.
Ma mgbe ha rutere nʼugwu, Gehazi naara ndị ohu Neeman ihe ndị ahụ, sị ha laghachikwa. O zoro ihe ndị ahụ nʼime ụlọ.
25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, From where comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went nowhere.
Mgbe ọ batara nʼụlọ guzo nʼihu nna ya ukwu, Ịlaisha jụrụ ya sị, “Ebee ka i si na-abịa Gehazi?” Ọ zara, “Ohu gị ejeghị ebe ọbụla.”
26 And he said to him, Went not my heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and male and female servants?
Mgbe ahụ Ịlaisha zara ya, “Ọ bụ na mmụọ m esoghị gị mgbe nwoke ahụ si nʼụgbọ ya rịdata izute gị? Oge a ọ bụ oge ịnara ego, na ịnara uwe, na ịnara ubi oliv, na ubi vaịnị, na igwe ehi, na igwe atụrụ, na ndị ohu ndị ikom, na ndị ohu ndị inyom na-eje ozi?
27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
Nʼihi nke a, ekpenta ahụ dị Neeman ga-abịakwasị gị, na ụmụ ụmụ gị, ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” Ya mere, Gehazi ghọrọ onye ekpenta si nʼihu ya pụọ. Anụ ahụ ya bidokwara ịcha ọcha dịka ogho ọcha.
