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, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man in presence of his lord, and held in honour, because, by him, had Yahweh given deliverance to Syria, —and, the man, was a hero of valour—[but], 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.
Now, the Syrians, had gone out in companies, and had brought back out of the land of Israel, a little maiden, —who became an attendant on the wife of Naaman.
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, Ah! would that my lord were before the prophet, who is in Samaria! then, would he set him free from 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, hath spoken the maiden who 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 Syria said—Go, get in, that I may send a letter unto the king of Israel. So he went, and took in his hand 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 in the letter unto the king of Israel, saying, Now, therefore, when this letter cometh in unto thee, lo! I have sent unto thee, Naaman my servant, and thou shalt set him free from 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 is sending unto me, to set one free from his leprosy, —but, of a truth, just mark, I pray you, and see, that he, is seeking 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 unto the king, saying—Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come, I pray thee, unto me, that he may get to 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 chariot, and stood at the entrance 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 bathe seven times in the Jordan, so shall thy flesh come back to thee, and be thou 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—Lo! I thought, Unto me, will he, come right out, and take his stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand towards the spot, and so set free 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, Abanah and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not bathe, 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’!”
Then drew near his servants, and spake unto him, and said—My father! if, some great thing, the prophet had commanded thee, wouldst thou not have done it? then, how much rather, when he hath said unto thee, Bathe 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 in the Jordan, seven times, according to the word of the man of God: and his flesh came back, as 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 unto the man of God, he and all his company; and came, and took his stand before him, and said—Lo! I pray thee—I know that there is no God in all the earth, save in Israel, —now, therefore, I pray thee, accept a blessing from 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—By the life of Yahweh, before whom I stand, I will not accept one. And, though he urged him to accept it, yet did he refuse.
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.
Then said Naaman, Shall there not, then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant, two mules’ burden of earth? For thy servant will henceforth offer neither ascending-offering nor sacrifice to other gods, save only to Yahweh.
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, Yahweh grant forgiveness to thy servant, —When my lord entereth the house of Rimmon, to bow down therein, he leaning upon my hand, and so I bow down in the house of Rimmon, when he boweth down in the house of Rimmon, Yahweh, I pray, grant forgiveness to 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 and prosper! But, when he had gone from him some distance,
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.”
Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said—Lo! my lord, hath restrained, this Naaman the Syrian, by not taking at his hand that which he brought! By the life of Yahweh, verily, I will runs after him, and accept of him, something.
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 hastened after Naaman. And, when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from his 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 lord, hath sent me to say, Lo! just now, have come unto me, two young men out of the hill country of Ephraim, of the sons of the prophets, —give for 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, accept two talents. So he urged him, and bound up two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his young men, and they bare 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-tower, he took them from their hand, and put them in charge within, —and 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.”
Now, when, he, came in and stood before his lord, Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, —Thy servant hath been neither hither nor thither.
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?
Then he said unto him—My heart, had not gone with thee, when someone turned again from off his chariot, to meet thee! Is it a time to accept silver, or to accept raiment, or oliveyards, or vineyards, or flocks or herds, or men-servants, or 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 of Naaman, therefore, shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed, to times age-abiding. And he went forth from before him—a leper—like snow.
