1 Na rĩrĩ, Naamani aarĩ mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Suriata. Aarĩ mũndũ mũnene maitho-inĩ ma mwathi wake na aarĩ mũndũ watĩĩkĩte mũno, tondũ Jehova nĩamũhũthĩrĩte kũhe andũ a Suriata ũhootani. Aarĩ mũthigari njamba, no aarĩ na mangũ.

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 Na rĩrĩ, mbũtũ cia Suriata nĩciathiĩte nja na igataha mũirĩtu mũnini kuuma Isiraeli, nake aatungatagĩra mũtumia wa Naamani.

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 Nake mũirĩtu ũcio akĩĩra mwathi wake mũndũ-wa-nja atĩrĩ, “Naarĩ korwo mwathi wakwa Naamani no one mũnabii ũrĩa ũrĩ Samaria! No amũhonie mangũ make.”

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 Naamani agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki mwathi wake na akĩmwĩra ũrĩa mũirĩtu ũcio woimĩte Isiraeli oigĩte.

Enti Naaman kaa asɛm a abaawa a ofi Israel no ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ ɔhene.

5 Nake mũthamaki ũcio wa Suriata akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Geria ũthiĩ. Nĩngũtũmĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli marũa.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Naamani akiumagara na agĩkuua taranda ikũmi cia betha, na cekeri 6,000 cia thahabu, na nguo cia magarũrĩra ikũmi.

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 Marũa marĩa atwarĩire mũthamaki wa Isiraeli maandĩkĩtwo atĩrĩ: “Nĩndatũma ndungata yakwa Naamani na marũa maya kũrĩ we, nĩgeetha ũmũhonie mangũ make.”

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 Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli aathomire marũa macio-rĩ, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩ Ngai? Ndaahota kũũraga na gũcookia muoyo rĩngĩ? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mũndũ ũyũ atũme mũndũ kũrĩ niĩ atĩ ahonio mangũ make? Ta kĩone, arageria kũnjũgita!”

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 Rĩrĩa Elisha mũndũ wa Ngai aiguire atĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩatembũrangĩte nguo ciake-rĩ, akĩmũtũmĩra ndũmĩrĩri ĩno: “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma ũtembũrange nguo ciaku? Reke mũndũ ũcio oke kũrĩ niĩ, na nĩekũmenya atĩ nĩ kũrĩ mũnabii thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli.”

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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Naamani agĩthiĩ hamwe na mbarathi ciake na ngaari cia ita o nginya mũromo-inĩ wa nyũmba ya Elisha.

Enti Naaman faa nʼapɔnkɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam, kɔtwɛn wɔ Elisa fi pon ano.

10 Nake Elisha akĩmũtũmĩra mũndũ amwĩre atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ wĩthambe maita mũgwanja rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Jorodani, na mwĩrĩ waku nĩũkũhonio, na nĩũgũthera.”

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 No Naamani agĩthiĩ arakarĩte, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngwĩciiragia atĩ ti-itherũ mũnabii nĩekuuma nja oke kũrĩ niĩ, na arũgame akaĩre rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova Ngai wake, acooke athũngũthie guoko gwake igũrũ rĩa handũ hau harũaru, aahonie mangũ.

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 Githĩ njũũĩ cia Dameski, na Abana, o na Faripari ti njega gũkĩra maaĩ o mothe ma Isiraeli? Githĩ ndingĩĩthambire thĩinĩ wacio therio?” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ arakarĩte mũno.

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 Ndungata cia Naamani igĩthiĩ harĩ we ikĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ithe witũ, korwo mũnabii akwĩrire wĩke ũndũ mũnene gũkĩra ũyũ-rĩ, githĩ ndũngĩwĩkire? Githĩ to wĩke makĩria ũndũ ũyũ aakwĩra, ‘Wĩthambe, ũtherio!’”

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 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Naamani agĩikũrũka, agĩĩtobokia Jorodani maita mũgwanja, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ wa Ngai aamwĩrĩte, naguo mwĩrĩ wake ũkĩhona, ũgĩthera ũkĩhaana ta wa kaana kanini.

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 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Naamani na arĩa othe maamũteithagia magĩcooka kũrĩ mũndũ wa Ngai. Nake akĩrũgama mbere yake, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩndamenya atĩ gũtirĩ Ngai ũngĩ thĩ yothe tiga gũkũ Isiraeli. Ndagũthaitha wĩtĩkĩre kuoya kĩheo kuuma kũrĩ ndungata yaku.”

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 Nake mũnabii akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova ũrĩa ndungatagĩra atũũraga muoyo-rĩ, niĩ ndingĩĩtĩkĩra kuoya kĩndũ o na kĩ.” Na rĩrĩ, o na gũtuĩka Naamani nĩamũringĩrĩirie mũno-rĩ, nĩaregire.

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 Nake Naamani akiuga atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo ndũngĩoya-rĩ, ndagũthaitha ũreke niĩ ndungata yaku heo tĩĩri ũrĩa wothe ũngĩkuuo nĩ nyũmbũ igĩrĩ, nĩgũkorwo ndungata yaku ndĩrĩ hĩndĩ ĩgacooka kũruta maruta ma njino kana magongona kũrĩ ngai ĩngĩ, tiga o Jehova.

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 No rĩrĩ, Jehova arorekera ndungata yaku ũndũ-inĩ o ũyũ ũmwe: Rĩrĩa mũthamaki mwathi wakwa arĩĩtoonyaga hekarũ ya Rimoni amĩinamĩrĩre etiranĩtie na guoko gwakwa, na niĩ nyinamĩrĩre ho-rĩ, rĩrĩa ngainamĩrĩra ndĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Rimoni, Jehova arorekera ndungata yaku nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩka ũguo.”

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 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ na thayũ.” Thuutha wa Naamani gũkorwo athiĩte itĩĩna-rĩ,

Elisa kae se, “Kɔ asomdwoe mu.” Enti Naaman san sii kwan so.

20 Gehazi, ndungata ya Elisha mũndũ wa Ngai, agĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Mwathi wakwa nĩahũthĩria Naamani ũcio Mũsuriata maũndũ nĩ kũrega kwamũkĩra indo iria ekũmũreheire. Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo-rĩ, niĩ nĩ ngũhanyũka ndĩmũkinyĩre nĩguo njoe kĩndũ kuuma harĩwe.”

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 Tondũ ũcio Gehazi akĩhiũha nĩguo akinyĩre Naamani. Rĩrĩa Naamani aamuonire ahanyũkĩte arorete na kũrĩ we-rĩ, akiuma ngaari-inĩ ya ita nĩguo amũtũnge. Akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Maũndũ mothe nĩ mega?”

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 Nake Gehazi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, maũndũ mothe nĩ mega. Mwathi wakwa aandũma ngwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Aanake eerĩ kuuma thiritũ-inĩ ya anabii mooka kũrĩ niĩ o rĩu, moimĩte bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu. Ndagũthaitha ũmahe taranda ĩmwe ya betha, na nguo cia magarũrĩra meerĩ.’”

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 Nake Naamani akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩtĩkĩra woe taranda igĩrĩ.” Agĩthaitha Gehazi aciĩtĩkĩre, ningĩ akĩoha taranda igĩrĩ cia thahabu agĩciĩkĩra mĩhuko-inĩ ĩĩrĩ hamwe na nguo cia magarũrĩra meerĩ. Nake akĩnengera ndungata ciake igĩrĩ, igĩkuua, igĩthiĩ mbere ya Gehazi.

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 Rĩrĩa Gehazi aakinyire kĩrĩma-inĩ, agĩĩtia ndungata indo icio, agĩciiga nyũmba. Nake akiugĩra ndungata icio ũhoro, nacio igĩĩthiĩra.

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 Thuutha ũcio agĩtoonya nyũmba akĩrũgama mbere ya mwathi wake Elisha. Nake Elisha akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Gehazi uuma kũ?” Nake Gehazi akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata yaku ndĩrĩ kũndũ ĩgũthiĩte.”

Bere a ɔkɔɔ ne wura Elisa nkyɛn no, obisaa no se, “Gehasi, wokɔɔ he?” Obuae se, “Menkɔɔ baabiara.”

26 Nowe Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Githĩ roho wakwa nduuma hamwe nawe rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio oimire ngaari-inĩ ya ita agũtũnge? Nĩ ihinda rĩa kuoya mbeeca, kana kwamũkĩra nguo, na mĩgũnda ya mĩtamaiyũ na ya mĩthabibũ, na ndũũru cia mbũri na ngʼombe, na ndungata cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja?

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 Mangũ ma Naamani nĩwe mekwĩgwatĩrĩra na njiaro ciaku nginya tene.” Hĩndĩ ĩyo Gehazi akĩehera harĩ Elisha arĩ na mangũ na akerũha, akahaana o ta ira.

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.
