1 Azɔ la Naaman nye Aram fia ƒe aʋakplɔla. Ede ŋgɔ eye bubu nɔ eŋu le eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ elabena eya dzie Yehowa to ɖu dzi geɖe na Aram. Enye asrafo kalẽtɔ gã aɖe gake enɔ kpodɔ lém.
Now was there one Naaman captaine of the hoste of the King of Aram, a great man, and honourable in the sight of his lorde, because that by him the Lord had deliuered the Aramites. He also was a mightie man and valiant, but a leper.
2 Adzoha aɖewo tso Aram va da adzo le Israelnyigba dzi eye nyɔnuvi sue aɖe le ame siwo wolé la dome. Nyɔnuvi sia zu Naaman srɔ̃ ƒe subɔla.
And the Aramites had gone out by bands, and had taken a litle mayde of the land of Israel, and shee serued Naamans wife.
3 Azɔ la, nyɔnuvi la gblɔ na eƒe aƒenɔ be, “Ne nye aƒetɔ, ɖe wòakpɔ nyagblɔɖila si le Samaria la, anyo ŋutɔ! Ada gbe le eƒe anyidɔ la ŋu nɛ.”
And she sayd vnto her mistres, Would God my lord were with the Prophet that is in Samaria, he would soone deliuer him of his leprosie.
4 Naaman yi eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ eye wògblɔ nya si nyɔnuvi si tso Israel gblɔ la nɛ.
And he went in, and tolde his lorde, saying, Thus and thus saith the mayde that is of the land of Israel.
5 Aram fia ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ele vevie be nàyi; maɖo agbalẽ ɖe Israel fia.” Ale Naaman dze mɔ; etsɔ klosaloga kilogram alafa etɔ̃ blaene ɖe asi kpe ɖe sikaga kilogram blaadre ŋuti kple awudodo ewo.
And the King of Aram sayde, Goe thy way thither, and I will send a letter vnto the King of Israel. And he departed, and tooke with him ten talents of siluer, and sixe thousand pieces of golde, and ten change of rayments,
6 Agbalẽ si woŋlɔ na Israel fia la me nyawoe nye: “Mele agbalẽ sia ɖom ɖe wò to nye dɔla Naaman dzi be nàda gbe le eƒe anyidɔ la ŋu nɛ.”
And brought the letter to the King of Israel to this effect, Now when this letter is come vnto thee, vnderstand, that I haue sent thee Naaman my seruant, that thou maiest heale him of his leprosie.
7 Esi Israel fia xlẽ agbalẽa me nyawo vɔ teti ko la, edze eƒe awuwo eye wògblɔ be, “Mawue menyea? Ɖe mate ŋu awu ame agagbɔ agbeea? Nu ka ŋuti ame sia dɔ ame aɖe ɖe gbɔnye be mada gbe le eƒe anyidɔ ŋu? Mikpɔ ale si wòle agbagba dzem be yeagawɔ dzre kplim la ɖa!”
And when the King of Israel had read the letter, he rent his clothes, and sayde, Am I God, to kill and to giue life, that hee doth send to mee, that I should heale a man from his leprosie? wherfore consider, I pray you, and see howe he seeketh a quarel against me.
8 Ke esi Mawu ƒe ame, Elisa se be Israel fia dze awu le eɖokui ŋuti la, eɖo du ɖee be, “Nu kae te ɖe dziwò ale gbegbe be nèdze wò awuwo? Ɖo Naaman ɖe gbɔnye ekema anya be nyagblɔɖila aɖe le Israel.”
But when Elisha the man of God had heard that the King of Israel had rent his clothes, hee sent vnto the King, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall knowe that there is a Prophet in Israel.
9 Ale Naaman kple eƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo va tɔ ɖe Elisa ƒe aƒe ƒe agbonu.
Then Naaman came with his horses, and with his charets, and stoode at the doore of the house of Elisha.
10 Elisa ɖo dɔla aɖe ɖa be wòagblɔ na Naaman be, “Yi nàdo ɖi ɖe Yɔdan me zi adre, ekema wò ŋutigbalẽ aɖɔ ɖo eye nàkpɔ dɔyɔyɔ.”
And Elisha sent a messenger vnto him, saying, Go and wash thee in Iorden seuen times, and thy flesh shall come againe to thee, and thou shalt be clensed.
11 Ke Naaman trɔ dzo kple dziku hegblɔ be, “Nye ya mesusui be godoo la, ado ɖe ŋutinye, atɔ ɖe gbɔnye ayɔ Yehowa eƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ, alili asi anyiteƒeawo, ayɔ dɔ nye anyidɔ la hafi.
But Naaman was wroth and went away, and sayde, Beholde, I thought with my selfe, Hee will surely come out, and stande, and call on the Name of the Lord his God and put his hand on the place, and heale the leprosie.
12 Ɖe Abana kple Farpar, Damasko tɔsisiwo menyo wu tsi siwo katã le Israel oa? Ɖe nyemate ŋu ale tsi le wo me akpɔ dɔyɔyɔ oa?” Ale wòtrɔ dzo kple dziku.
Are not Abanah and Pharpar, riuers of Damascus, better then all the waters of Israel? may I not washe mee in them, and bee cleansed? so hee turned, and departed in displeasure.
13 Naaman ƒe dɔlawo yi egbɔ eye wogblɔ nɛ be, “Fofonye, nenye ɖe nyagblɔɖila la gblɔ na wò be nàwɔ nu sesẽ aɖe la, màwɔe oa? Kaka wòhenye be wògblɔ na wò be, ‘Yi nàle tsi eye wò ŋuti nakɔ!’”
But his seruants came, and spake vnto him, and sayd, Father, if the Prophet had commanded thee a great thing, wouldest thou not haue done it? howe much rather then, when hee sayth to thee, Wash and be cleane?
14 Ale Naaman yi Yɔdan tɔsisi la me eye wòdo ɖi ɖe tɔsisi la me zi adre abe ale si Mawu ƒe ame la bia tso esi be wòawɔ ene. Eƒe ŋuti zrɔ̃ hekɔ enumake abe ŋutsuvi sue aɖe tɔ ene.
Then went he downe, and washed him selfe seuen times in Iorden, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came againe, like vnto ye flesh of a litle child, and he was cleane.
15 Tete Naaman kple eƒe dɔlawo katã trɔ yi ɖe Mawu ƒe ame la gbɔ ɖatsi tsitre ɖe eŋkume hegblɔ nɛ be, “Azɔ la menyae be Mawu aɖeke mele xexea katã me o negbe le Israel ko, eya ta meɖe kuku, xɔ nunana siawo le wò dɔla si.”
And hee turned againe to the man of God, hee, and all his companie, and came and stood before him, and sayd, Behold, now I knowe that there is no God in all the world, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a reward of thy seruant.
16 Ke nyagblɔɖila la ɖo eŋu be, “Meta Yehowa, ame si mesubɔna la ƒe agbe be nyemaxɔ naneke o.” Togbɔ be Naaman ƒoe ɖe enu hã la, egbe mexɔ nunanawo o.
But hee sayde, As the Lord liueth (before whom I stand) I wil not receiue it. And he would haue constrained him to receiue it, but he refused.
17 Naaman gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne màxɔ wo o la, meɖe kuku, na wò dɔla naka anyi si tedzi eve ate ŋu atsɔ la nam elabena wò dɔla magasa numevɔ kple vɔsa bubuwo na Mawu bubu aɖeke o, negbe Yehowa ko.
Moreouer Naaman sayde, Shall there not be giuen to thy seruant two mules loade of this earth? for thy seruant will henceforth offer neither burnt sacrifice nor offring vnto any other god, saue vnto the Lord.
18 Ke Yehowa netsɔe ke wò dɔla ɖe esia ɖeka ko ta be ne nye aƒetɔ yi Rimon ƒe gbedoxɔ me be wòade ta agu eye wòziɔ ɖe nye abɔ ŋuti eye nye hã mede ta agu, le Rimon ƒe gbedoxɔa me la, Yehowa netsɔe ke wò dɔla ɖe esia ta.”
Herein the Lord bee mercifull vnto thy seruant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon, to worship there, and leaneth on mine hand, and I bowe my selfe in the house of Rimmon: when I doe bowe downe, I say, in the house of Rimmon, the Lord be mercifull vnto thy seruant in this point.
19 Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Heyi le ŋutifafa me.” Ale Naaman trɔ ɖo ta wo de.
Vnto whome he saide, Goe in peace. So he departed from him about halfe a dayes iourney of grounde.
20 Ke Gehazi, Elisa ƒe subɔla Mawu ƒe ame, gblɔ na eɖokui be, “Mele be nye aƒetɔ nagbe nunanawo xɔxɔ eye wòaɖe asi le Naaman, Aramea ŋutsu sia ŋu wòadzo o. Mati eyome eye maxɔ nane le esi.”
And Gehazi the seruant of Elisha the man of God sayde, Beholde, my master hath spared this Aramite Naaman, receiuing not those things at his hand that he brought: as the Lord liueth, I will runne after him, and take somewhat of him.
21 Ale Gehazi ɖe abla kplɔ Naaman ɖo. Esi Naaman kpɔe wònɔ du dzi gbɔna la, eɖi le eƒe tasiaɖam me be yeado goe. Ebia be, “Nu sia nu le nyuiea?”
So Gehazi followed speedily after Naaman. And when Naaman sawe him running after him, he light downe from the charet to meete him, and said, Is all well?
22 Gehazi ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ɛ̃, nu sia nu le nyuie gake nye aƒetɔe dɔm be magblɔ na wò be, ‘Ɖekakpui eve tso nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo dome, tso Efraim to dzi va ɖo gbɔnye fifi laa eya ta, meɖe kuku, tsɔ klosaloga kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene kple awudodo ha eve na wo.’”
And he answered, All is well: my master hath set me, saying, Behold, there be come to me, euen nowe from mount Ephraim two yong men of the children of the Prophets: giue them, I pray thee, a talent of siluer, and two change of garmets.
23 Naaman ɖo eŋu nɛ be, ele vevie eya ta xɔ klosaloga kilogram blaade-vɔ-enyi. Eƒoe ɖe Gehazi nu be wòaxɔe. Tete wòbla klosaloga la ɖe kotoku eve me nɛ eye wòtsɔ awudodo ha eve kpe ɖe eŋuti nɛ. Etsɔ wo de eƒe dɔla eve si eye wotsɔ wo dze Gehazi ŋgɔe.
And Naaman saide, Yea, take two talents: and he compelled him, and bound two talents of siluer in two bagges, with two change of garments, and gaue them vnto two of his seruants, that they might beare them before him.
24 Ke esi wogogo to si dzi Elisa nɔ la, Gehazi xɔ nuawo le subɔla eveawo si eye wòna wotrɔ dzo. Etsɔ ga la ɣla ɖe eƒe aƒe me.
And when he came to the towre, he tooke them out of their handes, and laide them in the house, and sent away the men: and they departed.
25 Esi wòyi eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ la, Elisa biae be, “Gehazi, afi ka nètso?” Gehazi ɖo eŋu be, “Wò dɔla medo yi afi aɖeke o.”
Then he went in, and stoode before his master. And Elisha said vnto him, Whence commest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy seruant went no whither.
26 Elisa biae be, “Mènya be menɔ afi ma le gbɔgbɔ me hafi Naaman ɖi le eƒe tasiaɖam me hekpe wò oa? Ɣeyiɣi sia mee woaxɔ ga, awu, amitigblewo, waingblewo, alẽwo, nyitsuwo kple subɔlawoa?
But he saide vnto him, Went not mine heart with thee when the man turned againe from his charet to meete thee? Is this a time to take money, and to receiue garments, and oliues, and vineyardes, and sheepe, and oxen, and men seruants, and maide seruants?
27 Esi nèwɔ esia ta la, Naaman ƒe anyidɔ la ava wò kple viwòwo kple wo tɔgbuiyɔviwo dzi tegbetegbe.” Anyi ƒo ɖe Gehazi ŋu enumake, eŋuti katã fu kpii eye wòzu anyidzela hafi do go le xɔa me.
The leprosie therefore of Naaman shall cleaue vnto thee, and to thy seede for euer. And he went out from his presence a leper white as snowe.
