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.
UNamani wayengumlawuli webutho lenkosi yase-Aramu. Wayelodumo ehlonipheka emehlweni enkosi yakhe, ngoba ngaye uThixo wanika ele-Aramu ukunqoba. Wayelibutho elilesibindi, kodwa wayelobulephero.
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.
Amaxuku amabutho ase-Aramu ayephumile athumba intombazana yako-Israyeli, yaba yisichaka somkaNamani.
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.”
Yathi kunkosikazi yayo, “Ngabe inkosi yami ike ibonane lomphrofethi oseSamariya! Ubezayelapha ubulephero bayo.”
4 Naaman yi eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ eye wògblɔ nya si nyɔnuvi si tso Israel gblɔ la nɛ.
UNamani wayatshela inkosi yakhe ngalokhu okwakutshiwo yintombazana yako-Israyeli.
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.
Inkosi yase-Aramu yathi, “Ye kufanele uhambe, ngizabhalela inkosi yako-Israyeli incwadi.” Ngakho uNamani wasuka ephethe amathalenta esiliva alitshumi, amashekeli egolide azinkulungwane eziyisithupha kanye lamaxha ezigqoko alitshumi.
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.”
Incwadi ahamba layo enkosini yako-Israyeli yayisithi: “Ngalincwadi ngikuthumela inceku yami uNamani ukuba uzomelapha ubulephero bakhe.”
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!”
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi iqeda ukufunda incwadi leyo, yadabula izembatho zayo yathi, “NginguNkulunkulu mina na? Ngilamandla okubulala lamandla okuphilisa na? Kungani lumuntu ethumele umuntu esithi ngimelaphe ubulephero? Angithi liyabona ukuthi udinga ukuxabana lami!”
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.”
U-Elisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu esezwe ukuthi inkosi yako-Israyeli yayisidabule izembatho zayo, wayithumela ilizwi esithi, “Kungani usudabule izembatho zakho na? Letha indoda leyo kimi ukuze yazi ukuthi kulomphrofethi ko-Israyeli.”
9 Ale Naaman kple eƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo va tɔ ɖe Elisa ƒe aƒe ƒe agbonu.
Ngakho uNamani wahamba lamabhiza akhe kanye lezinqola zokulwa wayakuma emnyango wendlu ka-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.”
U-Elisha wathuma isithunywa ukuthi siyotshela uNamani sithi: “Hamba, uyegeza kasikhombisa emfuleni uJodani, inyama yakho izahluma njalo lawe uhlambuluke.”
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.
Kodwa uNamani wasuka ethukuthele wasesithi: “Mina benginakana ukuthi ngempela uzaphuma eze kimi ame abize ibizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe, aphakamise isandla phezu kwezilonda angelaphe ubulephero.
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.
Imifula yaseDamaseko, i-Abhana leFariphari kayingcono yini kulawo wonke amanzi ako-Israyeli na? Bengingeke ngageza kiyo ngihlambuluke na?” Ngakho wafulathela wahamba ethukuthele.
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!’”
Izinceku zikaNamani zamlanda zathi kuye, “Baba, alubana umphrofethi ubekutshele ukuthi wenze into enkulu ube ungayikuyenza na? Pho, kwehlula ngaphi nxa esithi, ‘Geza uhlambuluke’!”
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.
Yikho ukusuka kwakhe esiya khonale efika egeza kasikhombisa, njengokulaywa kwakhe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu, inyama yakhe yahluma njalo yahlambuluka kungathi ngeyomfana omncinyane.
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.”
Ngakho uNamani kanye lezinceku zakhe babuyela kumphrofethi uNkulunkulu. Wafika wema phambi kwakhe wathi, “Ngiyakwazi ukuthi akulankulunkulu emhlabeni wonke ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli. Ngoxolo ngicela wamukele lesisipho senceku yakho.”
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.
Umphrofethi wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengokuba uThixo engimkhonzayo ephila, angiyikwamukela lutho.” Kwathi lanxa uNamani emncenga wala.
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.
UNamani wasesithi, “Nxa ungasoze ukwamukele ngiyacela, mina nceku yakho, ukuba ngithole umhlabathi walapha ongalingana ukuthwalwa zimbongolo ezimbili, ngoba mina nceku angisayikunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo lakuwuphi unkulunkulu kodwa kuThixo.
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.”
Kodwa inceku yakho icela ukuba uThixo ayixolele kulokhu kuphela: Nxa inkosi yami ingena ethempelini likaRimoni ukuze iyemkhothamela ibambelele engalweni yami lami ngikhothame kanye layo, nxa ngikhothama ethempelini likaRimoni, ngiyacela ukuba uThixo angixolele kulokho.”
19 Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Heyi le ŋutifafa me.” Ale Naaman trɔ ɖo ta wo de.
U-Elisha wathi, “Hamba ngokuthula.” UNamani uthe esehambe okomango othile,
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.”
uGehazi, isisebenzi sika-Elisha inceku kaNkulunkulu, wazitshela ukuthi, “Inkosi yami imyekele uNamani wase-Aramu, wahamba ingasamukelanga isipho sakhe. Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ephila ngizamgijimela ngiyezuza ulutho kuye.”
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?”
Ngakho uGehazi wahaluzela wamxhuma uNamani. Kwathi uNamani embona esiza egijima, wehla enqoleni yakhe wamhlangabeza, wambuza wathi, “Kulungile konke na?”
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.’”
UGehazi wathi, “Yebo, konke kulungile. Inkosi yami ingithumile ukuba ngithi, ‘Sekufike amajaha amabili exuku labaphrofethi bevela elizweni lezintaba elako-Efrayimi, icela ukuba uwanike ithalenta lesiliva elilodwa lezigqoko ezimbili.’”
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.
UNamani wathi, “Ngokujabula, ngithi thatha amathalenta amabili.” Wamkhuthaza uGehazi ukuba awamukele, wasebophela amathalenta esiliva amabili emigodleni emibili, lamaxha amabili ezigqoko. Wawaqhubela izisebenzi ezimbili, zawathwala zahamba kuqala phambi kukaGehazi.
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.
Esefikile eqaqeni uGehazi, wathatha impahla kulezozisebenzi wayazibeka endlini. Wathi kababuyele, lakanye basuka.
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.”
Wasengena wafika wema phambi kwenkosi yakhe u-Elisha. U-Elisha wambuza wathi, “Ube ungaphi Gehazi?” UGehazi waphendula wathi, “Inceku yakho ayizange iye ndawo.”
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?
Kodwa u-Elisha wathi kuye, “Umoya wami ubungekanye lawe na lapho lowomuntu ephenduka enqoleni ekuhlangabeza? Yisikhathi sokwamukela imali lesi na, kumbe esokwamukela izigqoko, lezivande zama-oliva, lamavini lemihlambi yezimvu, leyenkomo, kumbe eyezinceku zesilisa lesifazane?
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.
Ubulephero bukaNamani buzanamathela kuwe lasenzalweni yakho kuze kube laphakade.” UGehazi wasuka phambi kuka-Elisha eselobulephero esemhlophe njengongqwaqwane.
