< 2 Sarakuna 5 >
1 Na’aman babban hafsan hafsoshin rundunar sarkin Aram ne, kuma ƙasaitaccen mutum ne mai martaba a idon maigidansa, domin ta wurinsa Ubangiji ya ba Aram nasara. Na’aman jarumi ne ƙwarai, amma yana da kuturta.
Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and held in esteem, because by him the LORD had given victory unto Aram; he was also a mighty man of valour, but he was a leper.
2 To, daga cikin hare haren da mutanen Aram suke kaiwa, sai suka kama wata yarinya daga ƙasar Isra’ila, aka sa ta zama mai yi wa matar Na’aman aiki.
And the Arameans had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.
3 Sai ta ce wa uwargijiyarta, “Da dai shugabana zai ga annabin da yake Samariya, da annabin zai warkar da shi daga kuturtarsa.”
And she said unto her mistress: 'Would that my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he recover him of his leprosy.'
4 Sai Na’aman ya je wurin maigidansa ya faɗa masa abin da yarinyan nan daga Isra’ila ta faɗa.
And he went in, and told his lord, saying: 'Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.'
5 Sarkin Aram ya ce, “Ko ta ƙaƙa, ka tafi, zan aika da wasiƙa ga sarkin Isra’ila.” Sai Na’aman ya tashi, ɗauke da talenti goma na azurfa, shekel dubu shida na zinariya, da tufafi kashi goma.
And the king of Aram said: 'Go now, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel.' And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
6 Wasiƙar da ya kai wa sarkin Isra’ila ta ce, “Da wannan wasiƙa ina aika Na’aman gare ka don ka warkar da kuturtarsa.”
And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying: 'And now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.'
7 Da sarkin Isra’ila ya karanta wasiƙar, sai ya yayyage tufafinsa, ya ce, “Ni Allah ne? Zan iya ɗauke rai ko in mai da shi? Me ya sa wannan mutum ya turo mini wannan mutum in warkar da kuturtarsa? Dubi fa yadda yake nemana da faɗa!”
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said: 'Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh an occasion against me.'
8 Da Elisha mutumin Allah ya ji cewa sarkin Isra’ila ya yayyage tufafinsa, sai ya aika masa da wannan saƙo, “Don me za ka yayyage tufafinka? Ka sa mutumin yă zo wurina, zai kuwa san cewa akwai annabi a Isra’ila.”
And it was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying: 'Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.'
9 Saboda haka Na’aman ya tafi da dawakansa da keken yaƙinsa, ya tsaya a ƙofar gidan Elisha.
So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 Sai Elisha ya aika’yan saƙo su ce masa, “Je, ka nutse sau bakwai a Urdun, fatar jikinka za tă koma daidai, ka kuma tsarkaka.”
And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying: 'Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come back to thee, and thou shalt be clean.'
11 Amma Na’aman ya tashi daga can da fushi yana cewa, “Na yi tsammani zai fito ne wurina yă tsaya, yă yi kira bisa ga sunan Ubangiji Allahnsa, yă kaɗa hannunsa inda kuturtar take, yă warkar da ni.
But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said: 'Behold, I thought: He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
12 Ashe, Amana da Farfa, kogunan da suke Damaskus, ba su fi dukan ruwan da suke Isra’ila ba? Me zai sa ba zan nutse cikinsu in tsarkaka ba?” Sai ya juya ya yi tafiyarsa da fushi.
Are not Amanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean?' So he turned, and went away in a rage.
13 Sai bayin Na’aman suka je kusa da shi suka ce, “Baba, da a ce annabin ya ce ka yi wani abu mai wuya, da ba za ka yi ba? Balle fa cewa kawai ya yi, ‘Ka yi wanka ka kuma tsarkaka’!”
And his servants came near, and spoke unto him, and said: 'My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee: Wash, and be clean?'
14 Saboda haka Na’aman ya je ya nutse sau bakwai a Urdun, yadda mutumin Allah ya ce masa, sai fatarsa ta koma kamar ta ɗan yaro.
Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came back like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
15 Sai Na’aman da dukan masu hidimarsa suka koma wurin mutumin Allah. Na’aman ya tsaya a gaban mutumin Allah ya ce, “Yanzu na san cewa babu wani Allah a duk duniya sai a Isra’ila. Ina roƙonka ka karɓi kyauta daga hannun bawanka.”
And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said: 'Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel; now therefore, I pray thee, take a present of thy servant.'
16 Annabin ya amsa ya ce, “Muddin Ubangiji wanda nake bauta masa yana a raye, ba zan karɓi kome ba.” Ko da yake Na’aman ya yi ta roƙonsa, amma ya ƙi.
But he said: 'As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none.' And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
17 Sai Na’aman ya ce, “In ba za ka karɓa ba, ina roƙonka, bari a ba wa bawanka ƙasa gwargwadon abin da jakuna biyu za su iya ɗauka, gama bawanka ba zai sāke yin hadaya ta ƙonawa, ko wata hadaya ga wani allah ba, sai ga Ubangiji.
And Naaman said: 'If not, yet I pray thee let there be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth; for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt-offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD.
18 Amma ina fata Ubangiji zai gafarta wa bawanka saboda abu guda. Bari yă gafarta mini sa’ad da na raka sarkina zuwa haikalin Rimmon domin yă yi sujada, bari Ubangiji yă yi wa bawanka gafara saboda wannan.”
In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant: when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I prostrate myself in the house of Rimmon, when I prostrate myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.'
19 Sai Elisha ya ce, “Ka sauka lafiya.” Bayan Na’aman ya yi ɗan nisa,
And he said unto him: 'Go in peace.' So he departed from him some way.
20 sai Gehazi, bawan Elisha mutumin Allah, ya yi tunani a ransa ya ce, “Maigidana ya yi wa Na’aman mutumin Aram nan ƙaramci da bai karɓi duk abin da ya kawo ba. Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, zan bi shi a guje in karɓi wani abu daga gare shi.”
But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said: 'Behold, my master hath spared this Naaman the Aramean, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought; as the LORD liveth, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat of him.'
21 Saboda haka Gehazi ya bi Na’aman a guje. Da Na’aman ya hango shi yana zuwa a guje, sai ya sauka daga keken yaƙinsa ya tarye shi ya ce, “Lafiya?”
So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said: 'Is all well?'
22 Gehazi ya amsa ya ce, “Lafiya ƙalau. Maigidana ne ya aiko ni cewa, ‘Samari biyu daga ƙungiyar annabawa sun ziyarce ni daga ƙasa mai duwatsu na yankin Efraim. Ina roƙonka ka ba su talenti na azurfa da tufafi kashi biyu.’”
And he said: 'All is well. My master hath sent me, saying: Behold, even now there are come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.'
23 Na’aman ya ce, “Ba damuwa, karɓi talenti biyu.” Ya roƙi Gehazi yă karɓa, sa’an nan ya ƙunsa masa talentin biyu na azurfa ya sa masa a kan jakankuna biyu, ya haɗa da tufafi kashi biyu, ya ba bayinsa biyu suka ɗauka, ya ce su sha gaban Gehazi.
And Naaman said: 'Be content, take two talents.' And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bore them before him.
24 Da Gehazi ya isa wani tudu, sai ya karɓi kayan daga wurin bayin ya shiga da su a ɓoye a cikin gida. Sa’an nan ya sallami mutanen suka tafi.
And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and deposited them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.
25 Sa’an nan ya shiga ya tsaya a gaban maigidansa Elisha. Sai Elisha ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Ina ka je, Gehazi?” Sai Gehazi ya amsa ya ce, “Bawanka bai je ko’ina ba.”
But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him: 'Whence comest thou, Gehazi?' And he said: 'Thy servant went no whither.'
26 Amma Elisha ya ce masa, “Ashe, ba ina tare da kai a ruhu ba sa’ad da mutumin ya sauko daga keken yaƙinsa ya tarye ka. Kana gani wannan lokaci ne da za a karɓi kuɗi, da riguna, da gonar inabi, da tumaki, da bijimai, da bayi maza da mata?
And he said unto him: 'Went not my heart with thee, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and maid-servants?
27 Kuturtar Na’aman zai manne maka da zuriyarka har abada.” Sai Gehazi ya fita daga gaban Elisha a kuturce, fari fat kamar dusar ƙanƙara.
The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever.' And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
