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.
Na Aramhene bu Naaman a ɔyɛ asraafo so sahene no yiye. Efisɛ ɛnam ne so na Awurade maa Aram dii nkonim akɛse bebree. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Naaman yɛ ɔkofo kɛse de, nanso na ɔyare kwata.
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,
Afei, na Aram akofo adi Israel asase so, na abaawa ketewa bi ka wɔn a wɔkyeree wɔn nnommum no ho. Wɔde saa abaawa no maa Naaman yere sɛ nʼabaawa.
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.'
Da bi, abaawa no ka kyerɛɛ nʼawuraa se, “Sɛ me wura kohu odiyifo a ɔwɔ Samaria no a, anka ɔbɛsa no yare ama kwata no afi ne honam ani.”
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.'
Enti Naaman kaa asɛm a abaawa a ofi Israel no ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ ɔhene.
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.
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ, na kɔsra odiyifo no. Mɛkyerɛw krataa aka wo ho, na wode akɔma Israelhene.” Enti Naaman faa dwetɛ akyɛde kilogram ahaasa aduanan, sikakɔkɔɔ kilogram aduosia nkron ne ntade mmɔho du, na osii mu kɔe.
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.'
Krataa a ɔde rekɔma Israelhene no mu asɛm ne sɛ, “Menam krataa yi so reda me somfo Naaman adi akyerɛ wo. Mepɛ sɛ wosa no yare ma ne kwata no fi ne honam ani.”
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.'
Bere a Israelhene kenkan krataa no, ɔde ahometew sunsuan nʼatade mu, kae se, “Saa ɔbarima yi asoma ɔkwatani aba me nkyɛn, sɛ mensa no yare! Meyɛ Onyankopɔn a mitumi kum, san ma nkwa? Ɔrehwehwɛ kwan bi afa so, anya nnyinaso bi na wabɛtow ahyɛ yɛn so bio.”
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.'
Bere a Elisa, Onyankopɔn nipa, tee sɛ ɔhene no asunsuan ne ntade mu no, ɔde nkra kɔmaa no se, “Adɛn nti na woasunsuan wo ntade mu? Soma Naaman na ɔmmra me nkyɛn na obehu sɛ odiyifo papa bi wɔ Israel.”
9 And Naaman cometh, with his horses and with his chariot, and standeth at the opening of the house for Elisha;
Enti Naaman faa nʼapɔnkɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam, kɔtwɛn wɔ Elisa fi pon ano.
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.
Na Elisa somaa ɔbɔfo kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔhohoro wo ho mpɛn ason wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu, na wo honam bɛba mu, ama wo kwata no akɔ.”
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.
Na Naaman bo fuwii, ma osii kwan so. Ɔkae se, “Na minim sɛ, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara no, ɔbɛba abehyia me! Na minim sɛ ebia, ɔde ne nsa bɛfa kwata no so, na wabɔ Awurade a, ɔyɛ ne Nyankopɔn no din, nam so asa me yare.
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.
Nsubɔnten Abana ne Parpar a ɛwɔ Damasko nsen nsubɔnten a ɛwɔ Israel nyinaa? Adɛn nti na menkɔhohoro me ho wɔ mu, na minnya ayaresa?” Enti Naaman dan ne ho de abufuw sii mu.
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.'
Nanso ne mpanyimfo bɔɔ mmɔden kasa kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, sɛ odiyifo no kaa se yɛ adwuma kɛse bi a, anka worenyɛ ana? Ɛno nti, tie asɛm a waka sɛ kɔhohoro wo ho kɛkɛ, na wo ho bɛtɔ wo no, na di so.”
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.
Enti Naaman kɔɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu, kɔdɔɔ asukɔ mpɛn ason, sɛnea Onyankopɔn nipa no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Ne honam ani daa hɔ te sɛ akokoaa, maa ne kwata no nyinaa kɔe.
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.'
Naaman ne ne dɔm no san kɔ kɔhwehwɛɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no akyi kwan. Wokogyinaa nʼanim, maa Naaman kae se, “Afei na mahu sɛ Onyankopɔn nni wiase ha baabiara sɛ Israel nko ara. Afei, mesrɛ wo sɛ, gye mʼakyɛde yi.”
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.
Nanso Elisa buae se, “Mmere dodow a Onyankopɔn a mesom no te ase yi, merennye akyɛde biara.” Ɛwɔ mu sɛ Naaman hyɛɛ no biara sɛ onnye akyɛde no, nanso Elisa annye.
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.
Afei, Naaman kae se, “Eye, ɛno de, ma me kwan na memfa ha dɔte atifi abien nsoa me furumpɔnkɔ abien, na memfa nka me ho nkɔ me kurom. Efi nnɛ, Onyankopɔn akyi no, meremmɔ ɔhyew afɔre anaa afɔre biara mma onyame bi bio.
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.'
Na mesrɛ sɛ, Awurade mfa saa bɔne yi nkyɛ me. Sɛ me wura ɔhene rekɔ Rimon abosomfi akɔsom, na misuso ne mu a, me nso mɛkotow nti, Awurade mfa eyi nkyɛ me.”
19 And he saith to him, 'Go in peace.' And he goeth from him a kibrath of land,
Elisa kae se, “Kɔ asomdwoe mu.” Enti Naaman san sii kwan so.
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.'
Nanso Elisa somfo Gehasi kaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ me wura ma Aramni yi kɔ a wannye akyɛde yi. Mmere dodow a Awurade te ase yi, metiw no, na makogye biribi afi ne nkyɛn.”
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?'
Enti Gehasi tiw no. Bere a Naaman huu no sɛ ɔde mmirika reba ne so no, osi fii ne teaseɛnam mu kohyiaa no. Naaman bisaa no se, “Wobaa no asomdwoe mu ana?”
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.'
Gehasi buae se, “Yiw, nanso me wura asoma me sɛ memmɛka nkyerɛ wo se, mmabun baanu bi a wɔyɛ adiyifo a wofi Efraim kurow a ɛda bepɔw so no mu abedu mprempren ara. Ose ɔrehwehwɛ dwetɛ kiliogram aduasa anan ne ntade nsakramu abien de ama wɔn.”
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;
Naaman kae se, “Ɛnyɛ asɛm a ɛyɛ den, gye dwetɛ kilogram aduasa anan yi.” Ɔmaa no ntade nsakramu abien, kyekyeree sika no wɔ nkotoku abien mu, yii asomfo baanu soaa akyɛde no, maa Gehasi.
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.
Nanso woduu bepɔw no so no, Gehasi gyee akyɛde no fii asomfo no nkyɛn, ma wɔsan wɔn akyi kɔe. Afei, ɔde akyɛde no kosiee ofi no mu.
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.'
Bere a ɔkɔɔ ne wura Elisa nkyɛn no, obisaa no se, “Gehasi, wokɔɔ he?” Obuae se, “Menkɔɔ baabiara.”
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?
Nanso Elisa bisaa no se, “Woanhu sɛ bere a Naaman si fii ne teaseɛnam mu behyiaa wo no, na mewɔ hɔ honhom mu? Saa bere yi na ɛsɛ sɛ wugye sika ne ntade ne ngodua mfuw ne bobe mfuw ne nguan ne anantwi ne asomfo?
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.
Nea woayɛ yi nti, wo ne wo mma ne wo mma mma bɛyare Naaman kwata no bi afebɔɔ.” Bere a Gehasi fii dan no mu no, na kwata ayɛ no a ne ho ahoa ayɛ sɛ sukyerɛmma.
