2 Kings 5

1 And Naaman, head of the host of the king of Aram, was a great man before his lord, and accepted of face, for by him had Jehovah given salvation to Aram, and the man was mighty in valour — leprous.

スリア王の軍勢の長ナアマンはその主君のまへにありて大なる者にしてまた貴き者なりき是はヱホバ曾て彼をもてスリアに拯救をほどこしたまひしが故なり彼は大勇士なりしが癩病をわづらひ居る

2 And the Aramaeans have gone out [by] troops, and they take captive out of the land of Israel a little damsel, and she is before the wife of Naaman,

昔にスリア人隊を組ていでたりし時にイスラエルの地より一人の小女を執へゆけり彼ナアマンの妻に事たりしが

3 and she saith unto her mistress, 'O that my lord [were] before the prophet who [is] in Samaria; then he doth recover him from his leprosy.'

その女主にむかひわが主サマリヤに居る預言者の前にいまさば善らん者をかれその癩病を痊すならんと言たれば

4 And [one] goeth in and declareth to his lord, saying, 'Thus and thus she hath spoken, the damsel who [is] from the land of Israel.'

ナアマン入りてその主君に告てイスラエルの地よりきたれる女子斯々語りたりと言ふに

5 And the king of Aram saith, 'Go thou, enter, and I send a letter unto the king of Israel;' and he goeth and taketh in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand [pieces] of gold, and ten changes of garments.

スリヤ王いひけるは往よ往よ我イスラエルの王に書をおくるべしと是において彼いでゆき銀十タラントと金六千および衣服十襲をたづさヘ

6 And he bringeth in the letter unto the king of Israel, saying, 'And now, at the coming in of this letter unto thee, lo, I have sent unto thee Naaman my servant, and thou hast recovered him from his leprosy.'

イスラエルの王にその書をもちゆけりその文に曰くこの書汝にいたらば視よ我わが臣ナアマンをなんぢに遣はせるなりこは汝にその癩病を痊されんがためなり

7 And it cometh to pass, at the king of Israel's reading the letter, that he rendeth his garments, and saith, 'Am I God, to put to death and to keep alive, that this [one] is sending unto me to recover a man from his leprosy? for surely know, I pray you, and see, for he is presenting himself to me.'

イスラエルの王その書を讀み衣を裂ていふ我神ならんや爭か殺すことをなし生すことをなしえん然るに此人なんぞ癩病の人を我に遣はしてこれを痊さしめんとするや然ば請ふ汝等彼が如何に我に爭を求むるかを見て知れと

8 And it cometh to pass, at Elisha the man of God's hearing that the king of Israel hath rent his garments, that he sendeth unto the king, saying, 'Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come, I pray thee, unto me, and he doth know that there is a prophet in Israel.'

茲に神の人エリシヤ、イスラエルの王がその衣を裂たることをきき王に言遣しけるは汝何とて汝の衣をさきしや彼をわがもとにいたらしめよ然ば彼イスラエルに預言者のあることを知にいたるべし

9 And Naaman cometh, with his horses and with his chariot, and standeth at the opening of the house for Elisha;

是においてナアマンその馬と車とをしたがへ來りてエリシヤの家の門に立けるに

10 and Elisha sendeth unto him a messenger, saying, 'Go, and thou hast washed seven times in Jordan, and thy flesh doth turn back to thee — and be thou clean.

エリシヤ使をこれに遣して言ふ汝ゆきて身をヨルダンに七たび洗へ然ば汝の肉本にかへりて汝は清く爲べしと

11 And Naaman is wroth, and goeth on, and saith, 'Lo, I said, Unto me he doth certainly come out, and hath stood and called in the name of Jehovah his God, and waved his hand over the place, and recovered the leper.

ナアマン怒りて去り言けるは我は彼かならず我もとにいできたりて立ちその神ヱホバの名を呼てその所の上に手を動して癩病を痊すならんと思へり

12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? do I not wash in them and I have been clean?' and he turneth and goeth on in fury.

ダマスコの河アバナとパルパルはイスラエルのすべての河水にまさるにあらずや我これらに身を洗ふて清まることを得ざらんやと乃ち身をめぐらし怒りて去る

13 And his servants come nigh, and speak unto him, and say, 'My father, a great thing had the prophet spoken unto thee — dost thou not do [it]? and surely, when he hath said unto thee, Wash, and be clean.'

時にその僕等近よりてこれにいひけるは我父よ預言者なんぢに大なる事をなせと命ずるとも汝はそれを爲ざらんや况て彼なんぢに身を洗ひて清くなれといふをやと

14 And he goeth down and dippeth in Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh doth turn back as the flesh of a little youth, and is clean.

是においてナアマン下りゆきて神の人の言のごとくに七たびヨルダンに身を洗ひしにその肉本にかへり嬰兒の肉の如くになりて清くなりぬ

15 And he turneth back unto the man of God, he and all his camp, and cometh in, and standeth before him, and saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, I have known that there is not a God in all the earth except in Israel; and now, take, I pray thee, a blessing from thy servant.'

かれすなはちその從者とともに神の人の許にかへりきたりてその前に立ていふ我いまイスラエルのほかは全地に神なしと知る然ば請ふ僕より禮物をうけよ

16 And he saith, 'Jehovah liveth, before whom I have stood — if I take [it];' and he presseth on him to take, and he refuseth.

エリシヤいひけるはわが事へまつるヱホバは活く肯て禮物をうけじとかれ強て之を受しめんとしたれども遂にこれを辭したり

17 And Naaman saith, 'If not — let be given, I pray thee, to thy servant, a couple of mules' burden of earth, for thy servant doth make no more burnt-offering and sacrifice to other gods, but to Jehovah.

ナアマンいひけるは然ば請ふ騾馬に二駄の土を僕にとらせよ僕は今よりのち他の神には燔祭をも祭品をもささげずして只ヱホバにのみ献げんとす

18 For this thing Jehovah be propitious to thy servant, in the coming in of my lord into the house of Rimmon to bow himself there, and he was supported by my hand, and I bowed myself [in] the house of Rimmon; for my bowing myself in the house of Rimmon Jehovah be propitious, I pray thee, to thy servant in this thing.'

ねがはくは主この事につきて僕をゆるしたまへ即ちわが主君リンモンの宮にいりそこにて崇拝をなしてわが手に倚ることありまた我リンモンの宮にありて身をかがむることあらんわがリンモンの宮において身をかがむる時に願くはヱホバその事につきて僕をゆるしたまへと

19 And he saith to him, 'Go in peace.' And he goeth from him a kibrath of land,

エリシヤ彼になんぢ安じて去れといひければ彼エリシヤをはなれて少しく進みゆきけるに

20 And Gehazi, servant of Elisha the man of God, saith, 'Lo, my lord hath spared Naaman this Aramaean, not to receive from his hand that which he brought; Jehovah liveth; surely if I have run after him, then I have taken from him something.'

神の人エリシヤの僕ゲハジいいひけるは吾が主人は此スリア人ナアマンをいたはりて彼が手に携へきたれるものを受ざりしがヱホバは活くわれ彼のあとを追かけて彼より少く物をとらんと

21 And Gehazi pursueth after Naaman, and Naaman seeth one running after him, and alighteth from off the chariot to meet him, and saith, 'Is there peace?'

ゲハジすなはちナアマンのあとをおひ行くにナアマンはおのれのあとに走り來る者あるを見て車より下りこれを迎へて皆平安やと言ふに

22 And he saith, 'Peace; my lord hath sent me, saying, Lo, now, this, come unto me have two young men from the hill-country of Ephraim, of the sons of the prophets; give, I pray thee, to them, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.'

彼言けるは皆平安しわが主我を遣していはしむ只今エフライムの山より預言者の徒なる二人の少者わが許に來れり請ふ汝かれらに銀一タラントと衣二襲をあたへよと

23 And Naaman saith, 'Be pleased, take two talents;' and he urgeth on him, and bindeth two talents of silver in two purses, and two changes of garments, and giveth unto two of his young men, and they bear before him;

ナアマンいひけるは望むらくは二タラントを取れとてかれを強ひ銀二タラントを二の袋にいれ衣二襲を添て二人の僕に負せたれば彼等これをゲハジの前に負きたりしが

24 and he cometh in unto the high place, and taketh out of their hand, and layeth up in the house, and sendeth away the men, and they go.

彼岡に至りしとき之をかれらの手より取て室のうちにをさめかれらを放ちて去しめ

25 And he hath come in, and doth stand by his lord, and Elisha saith unto him, 'Whence — Gehazi?' and he saith, 'Thy servant went not hither or thither.'

而して入てその主人のまへに立つにエリシヤこれにいひけるはゲハジよ何處より來りしや答へていふ僕は何處にもゆかず

26 And he saith unto him, 'My heart went not when the man turned from off his chariot to meet thee; is it a time to take silver, and to take garments, and olives, and vines, and flock, and herd, and men-servants, and maid-servants?

エリシヤいひけるはその人が車をはなれ來りてなんぢを迎へし時にわが心其處にあらざりしや今は金をうけ衣をうけ橄欖園葡萄園羊牛僕婢をうくべき時ならんや

27 yea, the leprosy of Naaman doth cleave to thee, and to thy seed, — to the age;' and he goeth out from before him — leprous as snow.

然ばナアマンの癩病はなんぢにつき汝の子孫におよびて限なからんと彼その前より退ぞくに癩病發して雪のごとくになりぬ
