Βασιλειῶν Δʹ 5
1 καὶ Ναιμαν ὁ ἄρχων τῆς δυνάμεως Συρίας ἦν ἀνὴρ μέγας ἐνώπιον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ τεθαυμασμένος προσώπῳ ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ ἔδωκεν κύριος σωτηρίαν Συρίᾳ καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἦν δυνατὸς ἰσχύι λελεπρωμένος
Wakati huu, Naamani alikuwa jemadari wa jeshi la mfalme wa Aramu. Alikuwa mtu mkuu mbele ya bwana wake na aliyeheshimiwa sana, kwa sababu kupitia kwake, Bwana alikuwa amewapa Aramu ushindi. Alikuwa askari shujaa, lakini alikuwa na ukoma.
2 καὶ Συρία ἐξῆλθον μονόζωνοι καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσαν ἐκ γῆς Ισραηλ νεάνιδα μικράν καὶ ἦν ἐνώπιον τῆς γυναικὸς Ναιμαν
Siku hizo vikosi kutoka Aramu vilikuwa vimekwenda na vikawa vimemteka msichana kutoka Israeli, naye akamtumikia mkewe Naamani.
3 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν τῇ κυρίᾳ αὐτῆς ὄφελον ὁ κύριός μου ἐνώπιον τοῦ προφήτου τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ τότε ἀποσυνάξει αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ
Akamwambia bibi yake, “Kama bwana wangu angelimwona nabii aliyeko Samaria! Angemponya ukoma wake.”
4 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ κυρίῳ ἑαυτῆς καὶ εἶπεν οὕτως καὶ οὕτως ἐλάλησεν ἡ νεᾶνις ἡ ἐκ γῆς Ισραηλ
Naamani akaenda kwa bwana wake na kumwambia alichosema yule msichana kutoka Israeli.
5 καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Συρίας πρὸς Ναιμαν δεῦρο εἴσελθε καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ βιβλίον πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ δέκα τάλαντα ἀργυρίου καὶ ἑξακισχιλίους χρυσοῦς καὶ δέκα ἀλλασσομένας στολάς
Mfalme wa Aramu akamjibu, “Hakika, nenda. Nitatuma barua kwa mfalme wa Israeli.” Kwa hiyo Naamani akaondoka, akiwa amechukua talanta kumi za fedha, shekeli 6,000 za dhahabu, na mivao kumi ya mavazi.
6 καὶ ἤνεγκεν τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ισραηλ λέγων καὶ νῦν ὡς ἂν ἔλθῃ τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτο πρὸς σέ ἰδοὺ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς σὲ Ναιμαν τὸν δοῦλόν μου καὶ ἀποσυνάξεις αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ
Barua aliyopelekea mfalme wa Israeli iliandikwa hivi: “Pamoja na barua hii ninamtuma mtumishi wangu, Naamani, kwako ili uweze kumponya ukoma wake.”
7 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἀνέγνω βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ τὸ βιβλίον διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν μὴ θεὸς ἐγὼ τοῦ θανατῶσαι καὶ ζωοποιῆσαι ὅτι οὗτος ἀποστέλλει πρός με ἀποσυνάξαι ἄνδρα ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ ὅτι πλὴν γνῶτε δὴ καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι προφασίζεται οὗτός με
Mara mfalme wa Israeli alipomaliza kuisoma ile barua, akararua mavazi yake na kusema, “Je, mimi ni Mungu? Je, mimi naweza kuua na kufufua tena? Kwa nini huyu mtu anamtuma mtu ili mimi nipate kumponya ukoma wake? Tazama jinsi anavyotafuta kuanzisha ugomvi nami!”
8 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ελισαιε ὅτι διέρρηξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ τὰ ἱμάτια ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ισραηλ λέγων ἵνα τί διέρρηξας τὰ ἱμάτιά σου ἐλθέτω δὴ πρός με Ναιμαν καὶ γνώτω ὅτι ἔστιν προφήτης ἐν Ισραηλ
Elisha mtu wa Mungu aliposikia kwamba mfalme wa Israeli alikuwa amerarua mavazi yake, akamtumia ujumbe huu: “Kwa nini umerarua mavazi yako? Mwamuru mtu huyo aje kwangu, naye atajua ya kuwa yuko nabii katika Israeli.”
9 καὶ ἦλθεν Ναιμαν ἐν ἵππῳ καὶ ἅρματι καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ θύρας οἴκου Ελισαιε
Kwa hiyo Naamani akaenda, akiwa na farasi zake na magari yake, na kusimama mlangoni mwa nyumba ya Elisha.
10 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ελισαιε ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων πορευθεὶς λοῦσαι ἑπτάκις ἐν τῷ Ιορδάνῃ καὶ ἐπιστρέψει ἡ σάρξ σού σοι καὶ καθαρισθήσῃ
Elisha akamtuma mjumbe kumwambia, “Nenda uoge katika Yordani mara saba, na nyama ya mwili wako itapona, nawe utatakasika.”
11 καὶ ἐθυμώθη Ναιμαν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ δὴ ἔλεγον ὅτι ἐξελεύσεται πρός με καὶ στήσεται καὶ ἐπικαλέσεται ἐν ὀνόματι θεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιθήσει τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον καὶ ἀποσυνάξει τὸ λεπρόν
Lakini Naamani akaondoka akiwa amekasirika, akasema, “Hakika nilidhani kwamba angetoka nje, asimame na kuliitia jina la Bwana Mungu wake, na kuweka mkono wake juu ya mahali pagonjwa, aniponye ukoma wangu.
12 οὐχὶ ἀγαθὸς Αβανα καὶ Φαρφαρ ποταμοὶ Δαμασκοῦ ὑπὲρ Ιορδάνην καὶ πάντα τὰ ὕδατα Ισραηλ οὐχὶ πορευθεὶς λούσομαι ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι καὶ ἐξέκλινεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐν θυμῷ
Je, Abana na Farpari, mito ya Dameski, si bora zaidi kuliko mito yoyote ya Israeli? Je, nisingeweza kuoga ndani ya hiyo mito na kutakasika?” Basi akageuka na kuondoka kwa hasira kuu.
13 καὶ ἤγγισαν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς αὐτόν μέγαν λόγον ἐλάλησεν ὁ προφήτης πρὸς σέ οὐχὶ ποιήσεις καὶ ὅτι εἶπεν πρὸς σέ λοῦσαι καὶ καθαρίσθητι
Watumishi wa Naamani wakamwendea na kumwambia, “Baba yangu, kama huyo nabii angekuambia kufanya jambo lililo kubwa, je, usingelifanya? Je, si zaidi sana basi, anapokuambia, ‘Oga na utakasike!’”
14 καὶ κατέβη Ναιμαν καὶ ἐβαπτίσατο ἐν τῷ Ιορδάνῃ ἑπτάκι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ελισαιε καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἡ σὰρξ αὐτοῦ ὡς σὰρξ παιδαρίου μικροῦ καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη
Hivyo akashuka na kujizamisha ndani ya Yordani mara saba, kama vile huyo mtu wa Mungu alivyokuwa amemwambia, nayo nyama ya mwili wake ikapona na kutakasika kama ya mwili wa mvulana mdogo.
15 καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν πρὸς Ελισαιε αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶσα ἡ παρεμβολὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἔστη καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ δὴ ἔγνωκα ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν θεὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ νῦν λαβὲ τὴν εὐλογίαν παρὰ τοῦ δούλου σου
Kisha Naamani na wahudumu wake wote wakarudi kwa yule mtu wa Mungu. Akasimama mbele yake na kusema, “Sasa najua kwamba hakuna Mungu katika ulimwengu wote isipokuwa katika Israeli. Tafadhali sasa upokee zawadi kutoka kwa mtumishi wako.”
16 καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ζῇ κύριος ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ εἰ λήμψομαι καὶ παρεβιάσατο αὐτὸν λαβεῖν καὶ ἠπείθησεν
Nabii akajibu, “Hakika kama Bwana aishivyo, ambaye ninamtumikia, sitapokea kitu hata kimoja.” Ingawa Naamani alimsihi sana, yeye alikataa.
17 καὶ εἶπεν Ναιμαν καὶ εἰ μή δοθήτω δὴ τῷ δούλῳ σου γόμος ζεύγους ἡμιόνων καὶ σύ μοι δώσεις ἐκ τῆς γῆς τῆς πυρρᾶς ὅτι οὐ ποιήσει ἔτι ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ θυσίασμα θεοῖς ἑτέροις ἀλλ’ ἢ τῷ κυρίῳ μόνῳ
Naamani akasema, “Ikiwa hutapokea, tafadhali mtumishi wako na apewe udongo kiasi cha mzigo wa kuweza kubebwa na punda wawili, kwa sababu mtumishi wako hatatoa tena sadaka ya kuteketezwa na dhabihu kwa mungu mwingine isipokuwa Bwana.
18 καὶ ἱλάσεται κύριος τῷ δούλῳ σου ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι τὸν κύριόν μου εἰς οἶκον Ρεμμαν προσκυνῆσαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπαναπαύσεται ἐπὶ τῆς χειρός μου καὶ προσκυνήσω ἐν οἴκῳ Ρεμμαν ἐν τῷ προσκυνεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ Ρεμμαν καὶ ἱλάσεται δὴ κύριος τῷ δούλῳ σου ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ
Lakini Bwana na amsamehe mtumishi wake kwa kitu hiki kimoja: Wakati bwana wangu atakapoingia kwenye hekalu la Rimoni ili kusujudu, naye akiwa anauegemea mkono wangu, nami nikasujudu huko pia, wakati nitakaposujudu ndani ya hekalu la Rimoni, Bwana na amsamehe mtumishi wako kwa ajili ya jambo hili.”
19 καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε πρὸς Ναιμαν δεῦρο εἰς εἰρήνην καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς δεβραθα τῆς γῆς
Elisha akamwambia, “Nenda kwa amani.” Baada ya Naamani kusafiri umbali fulani,
20 καὶ εἶπεν Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον Ελισαιε ἰδοὺ ἐφείσατο ὁ κύριός μου τοῦ Ναιμαν τοῦ Σύρου τούτου τοῦ μὴ λαβεῖν ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐνήνοχεν ζῇ κύριος ὅτι εἰ μὴ δραμοῦμαι ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ λήμψομαι παρ’ αὐτοῦ τι
Gehazi, mtumishi wa Elisha mtu wa Mungu, akajiambia mwenyewe, “Bwana wangu amemwachia kirahisi sana Naamani, huyu Mwaramu, kwa kutokupokea kutoka kwake vile alivyovileta. Hakika kama Bwana aishivyo, nitamkimbilia na kupata kitu kutoka kwake.”
21 καὶ ἐδίωξε Γιεζι ὀπίσω τοῦ Ναιμαν καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὸν Ναιμαν τρέχοντα ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἅρματος εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ
Hivyo Gehazi akaharakisha kumfuatilia Naamani. Naamani alipomwona akikimbia kumwelekea, akashuka chini kutoka kwenye gari lake na kwenda kumlaki. Akauliza, “Je, mambo yote ni sawa?”
22 καὶ εἶπεν εἰρήνη ὁ κύριός μου ἀπέστειλέν με λέγων ἰδοὺ νῦν ἦλθον πρός με δύο παιδάρια ἐξ ὄρους Εφραιμ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν δὸς δὴ αὐτοῖς τάλαντον ἀργυρίου καὶ δύο ἀλλασσομένας στολάς
Gehazi akajibu, “Mambo yote ni sawa. Bwana wangu amenituma nikuambie, ‘Vijana wawili kutoka kwa wana wa manabii wamenijia kutoka nchi ya vilima ya Efraimu. Tafadhali wape talanta ya fedha na mivao miwili ya mavazi.’”
23 καὶ εἶπεν Ναιμαν λαβὲ διτάλαντον ἀργυρίου καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐν δυσὶ θυλάκοις καὶ δύο ἀλλασσομένας στολὰς καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπὶ δύο παιδάρια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦραν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ
Naamani akasema, “Hakika, chukua talanta mbili za fedha.” Akamsihi Gehazi azipokee, kisha akafunga talanta mbili za fedha katika mifuko miwili pamoja na mivao miwili ya mavazi. Akawapa watumishi wake wawili mizigo hiyo, nao wakaibeba wakitangulia mbele ya Gehazi.
24 καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸ σκοτεινόν καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ παρέθετο ἐν οἴκῳ καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν τοὺς ἄνδρας
Gehazi alipofika kwenye kilima, akavichukua vile vitu kutoka kwa wale watumishi na kuvificha ndani ya nyumba. Akawaaga wale watu, nao wakaondoka.
25 καὶ αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν καὶ παρειστήκει πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ελισαιε πόθεν Γιεζι καὶ εἶπεν Γιεζι οὐ πεπόρευται ὁ δοῦλός σου ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα
Kisha akaingia ndani na kusimama mbele ya Elisha bwana wake. Elisha akamuuliza, “Gehazi, ulikuwa wapi?” Gehazi akajibu, “Mtumishi wako hakwenda popote.”
26 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ελισαιε οὐχὶ ἡ καρδία μου ἐπορεύθη μετὰ σοῦ ὅτε ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἅρματος εἰς συναντήν σοι καὶ νῦν ἔλαβες τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ νῦν ἔλαβες τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ λήμψῃ ἐν αὐτῷ κήπους καὶ ἐλαιῶνας καὶ ἀμπελῶνας καὶ πρόβατα καὶ βόας καὶ παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας
Lakini Elisha akamwambia, “Je, roho yangu haikuwa pamoja nawe wakati yule mtu aliposhuka kutoka kwenye gari lake ili kukulaki? Je, huu ni wakati wa kupokea fedha au kupokea nguo, mashamba ya mizeituni, mashamba ya mizabibu, makundi ya kondoo na mbuzi, makundi ya ngʼombe, au watumishi wa kiume na wa kike?
27 καὶ ἡ λέπρα Ναιμαν κολληθήσεται ἐν σοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ λελεπρωμένος ὡσεὶ χιών
Ukoma wa Naamani utakushika wewe na wazao wako milele.” Kisha Gehazi akaondoka mbele ya Elisha, mwenye ukoma, mweupe kama theluji.
