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 army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria; 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.
The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little girl, 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.”
She said to her mistress, “I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy.”
4 Sai Na’aman ya je wurin maigidansa ya faɗa masa abin da yarinyan nan daga Isra’ila ta faɗa.
Someone went in and told his lord, saying, “The girl who is from the land of Israel said this.”
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.
The king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
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.”
He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “Now when this letter has come to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal 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!”
When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel 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.”
It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your 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.”
Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall 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 angry, 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 heal 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.
Aren’t Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I 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’!”
His servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘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 was restored like 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.”
He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, “See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift from your 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 lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.” 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.
Naaman said, “If not, then, please let two mules’ load of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to 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 may the LORD pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon. When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may the LORD pardon your servant in this thing.”
19 Sai Elisha ya ce, “Ka sauka lafiya.” Bayan Na’aman ya yi ɗan nisa,
He said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a little 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 has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As the LORD lives, I will run after him, and take something from 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. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down 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.’”
He said, “All is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.’”
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.
Naaman said, “Be pleased to take two talents.” He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried 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.
When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then 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. Elisha said to him, “Where did you come from, Gehazi?” He said, “Your servant went nowhere.”
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?
He said to him, “Didn’t my heart go with you when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female 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.
Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your offspring forever.” He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.
