1 O NAAMANA ka luna o ka poe kauwa o ke alii o Suria, he kanaka koikoi ia imua o kona haku, a he hanohano o kona maka; no ka mea, ma o na la, ua hoolanakila mai o Iehova i ko Suria; he kanaka koa nui no hoi ia, a ua lepera.
UNamani wayengumlawuli webutho lenkosi yase-Aramu. Wayelodumo ehlonipheka emehlweni enkosi yakhe, ngoba ngaye uThixo wanika ele-Aramu ukunqoba. Wayelibutho elilesibindi, kodwa wayelobulephero.
2 A ua hele aku ka poe koa hao wale, no ko Suria, a ua lawe pio mai lakou i kekahi kaikamahine opiopio mai ka aina o ka Iseraela mai; a ua lawelawe ia na ka wahine a Naamana.
Amaxuku amabutho ase-Aramu ayephumile athumba intombazana yako-Israyeli, yaba yisichaka somkaNamani.
3 I aku la ia i kona haku wahine, Ina o kuu haku ma ke alo o ke kaula ma Samaria, ina ua hoola mai kela ia ia i kona lepera.
Yathi kunkosikazi yayo, “Ngabe inkosi yami ike ibonane lomphrofethi oseSamariya! Ubezayelapha ubulephero bayo.”
4 A hele aku kekahi, a hai aku la i kona haku, i aku la, Penei a penei ka olelo ana a ke kaikamahine no ka aina o ka Iseraela.
UNamani wayatshela inkosi yakhe ngalokhu okwakutshiwo yintombazana yako-Israyeli.
5 I mai la ke alii o Suria, O hele, o hele, a e hoouna aku au i palapala na ke alii o ka Iseraela. A hele aku la ia, a lawe aku la ia ma kona lima i umi talena kala, a me na apana gula eono tausani, a me na lole aahu he umi.
Inkosi yase-Aramu yathi, “Ye kufanele uhambe, ngizabhalela inkosi yako-Israyeli incwadi.” Ngakho uNamani wasuka ephethe amathalenta esiliva alitshumi, amashekeli egolide azinkulungwane eziyisithupha kanye lamaxha ezigqoko alitshumi.
6 A lawe aku la ia i ka palapala i ko alii o ka Iseraela, i aku la, Ano, i ka hiki ana'ku o keia palapala ia oe, aia hoi, ua hoouna aku au i ou la ia Naamana i kuu kauwa, i hoola mai ai oe ia ia i kona lepera.
Incwadi ahamba layo enkosini yako-Israyeli yayisithi: “Ngalincwadi ngikuthumela inceku yami uNamani ukuba uzomelapha ubulephero bakhe.”
7 A pau ka heluhelu ana a ke alii o ka Iseraela i ka palapala, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu, i aku la, He Akua anei wau e pepehi aku a e hoola, i hoouna mai ai keia kanaka io'u nei e hoola i ke kanaka i kona lepera? no ia mea, ke noi aku nei au, e noonoo, a ike, ke imi mai nei paha i mea no'u e hewa'i.
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi iqeda ukufunda incwadi leyo, yadabula izembatho zayo yathi, “NginguNkulunkulu mina na? Ngilamandla okubulala lamandla okuphilisa na? Kungani lumuntu ethumele umuntu esithi ngimelaphe ubulephero? Angithi liyabona ukuthi udinga ukuxabana lami!”
8 A i ka manawa i lohe ai o Elisai ke kanaka o ke Akua, ua haehae ke alii i kona aahu, hoouna aku la ia i ke alii, i aku la, No ke aha la oe i haehae ai i kou aahu? e hele mai ia ano i o'u nei, a e ike auanei ia, he kaula no iloko o ka Iseraela.
U-Elisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu esezwe ukuthi inkosi yako-Israyeli yayisidabule izembatho zayo, wayithumela ilizwi esithi, “Kungani usudabule izembatho zakho na? Letha indoda leyo kimi ukuze yazi ukuthi kulomphrofethi ko-Israyeli.”
9 A hele mai o Naamana me kona mau lio, a me kona halekaa, a ku ma ka puka o ka hale o Elisai.
Ngakho uNamani wahamba lamabhiza akhe kanye lezinqola zokulwa wayakuma emnyango wendlu ka-Elisha.
10 Hoouna aku la o Elisai i elele io na la, i aku la, E hele oe e auau iloko o Ioredane, ehiku auau ana, a e hoi hou mai no kou io ia oe, a e maemae oe.
U-Elisha wathuma isithunywa ukuthi siyotshela uNamani sithi: “Hamba, uyegeza kasikhombisa emfuleni uJodani, inyama yakho izahluma njalo lawe uhlambuluke.”
11 Huhu iho la o Naamana, a hele aku la, i iho la, Aia hoi, ua i iho au ia'u iho, E hele io mai auanei ia iwaho, a e ku, a e kahea aku i ka inoa o Iehova o kona Akua, a hapai i kona lima maluna o ka wahi, a e hoola i ka lepera.
Kodwa uNamani wasuka ethukuthele wasesithi: “Mina benginakana ukuthi ngempela uzaphuma eze kimi ame abize ibizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe, aphakamise isandla phezu kwezilonda angelaphe ubulephero.
12 Aole anei e oi aku ka pono o Abana, a me Parepara, na muliwai o Damaseko, mamua o ko na wai a pau o ka Iseraela? aole anei e pono ia'u ke holoi iloko o ia mau mea, a maemae? A huli ae la ia a hele aku la me ka huhu.
Imifula yaseDamaseko, i-Abhana leFariphari kayingcono yini kulawo wonke amanzi ako-Israyeli na? Bengingeke ngageza kiyo ngihlambuluke na?” Ngakho wafulathela wahamba ethukuthele.
13 Hele mai kana poe kauwa a kokoke, olelo aku la ia ia, i aku la, E kuu makua, ina i olelo mai ke kaula ia oe i kekahi mea nui, aole anei oe i hana? oiaio hoi, i kana i ana mai ia oe, E auau oe, a e maemae?
Izinceku zikaNamani zamlanda zathi kuye, “Baba, alubana umphrofethi ubekutshele ukuthi wenze into enkulu ube ungayikuyenza na? Pho, kwehlula ngaphi nxa esithi, ‘Geza uhlambuluke’!”
14 Alaila hele aku la ia ilalo, a lu iho la iloko o Ioredane, ehiku lu ana, e like me ka olelo a ke kanaka o ke Akua; a hoi hou mai kona io e like me ka io o ke keiki uuku, a ua maemae ia.
Yikho ukusuka kwakhe esiya khonale efika egeza kasikhombisa, njengokulaywa kwakhe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu, inyama yakhe yahluma njalo yahlambuluka kungathi ngeyomfana omncinyane.
15 A hoi hou aku la ia i ke kanaka o ke Akua, oia a me kona poe a pau, a hiki aku la, a ku imua ona; i aku la, Aia hoi, ano ua ike au, aole he Akua ma ka honua a pau, maloko o ka Iseraela wale no; ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e lawe oe i ka makana a kau kauwa.
Ngakho uNamani kanye lezinceku zakhe babuyela kumphrofethi uNkulunkulu. Wafika wema phambi kwakhe wathi, “Ngiyakwazi ukuthi akulankulunkulu emhlabeni wonke ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli. Ngoxolo ngicela wamukele lesisipho senceku yakho.”
16 I mai la ia, Ma ke ola o Iehova, imua ona a'u e ku nei, aole au e lawe. Koi aku la keia ia ia; aka, hoole mai la ia.
Umphrofethi wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengokuba uThixo engimkhonzayo ephila, angiyikwamukela lutho.” Kwathi lanxa uNamani emncenga wala.
17 I aku la o Naamana, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, aole anei e haawiia mai i kau kauwa ka lepo e kaumaha ai na hoki elua ke hali? no ka mea, ma keia hope aku aole kau kauwa e kaumaha aku i ka mohaikuni, a me ka alana i na akua e, aka, ia Iehova wale no.
UNamani wasesithi, “Nxa ungasoze ukwamukele ngiyacela, mina nceku yakho, ukuba ngithole umhlabathi walapha ongalingana ukuthwalwa zimbongolo ezimbili, ngoba mina nceku angisayikunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo lakuwuphi unkulunkulu kodwa kuThixo.
18 E kala mai o Iehova i keia mea i kau kauwa, i ka hele ana o kuu haku iloko o ka hale o Rimona e hoomana malaila, a e hilinai ia maluna o kuu lima, a e hoomana au ma ka hale o Rimona; i kuu hoomana ana ma ka hale o Rimona, e kala mai o Iehova i keia mea i kau kauwa.
Kodwa inceku yakho icela ukuba uThixo ayixolele kulokhu kuphela: Nxa inkosi yami ingena ethempelini likaRimoni ukuze iyemkhothamela ibambelele engalweni yami lami ngikhothame kanye layo, nxa ngikhothama ethempelini likaRimoni, ngiyacela ukuba uThixo angixolele kulokho.”
19 I mai la keia ia ia E hele oe me ke aloha. A hele ia mai ona aku la, aole loihi.
U-Elisha wathi, “Hamba ngokuthula.” UNamani uthe esehambe okomango othile,
20 I iho la o Gehazi ke kauwa a Elisai ke kanaka no ke Akua, Aia hoi, ua hoole kuu haku ia Naamana i keia kanaka no Suria, aole i lawe mai kona lima mai i ka mea ana i lawe mai ai: aka, ma ke ola o Iehova e holo no au mahope ona, a e lawe i kekahi mea mai ona mai la.
uGehazi, isisebenzi sika-Elisha inceku kaNkulunkulu, wazitshela ukuthi, “Inkosi yami imyekele uNamani wase-Aramu, wahamba ingasamukelanga isipho sakhe. Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ephila ngizamgijimela ngiyezuza ulutho kuye.”
21 A hahai aku la o Gehazi mahope o Naamana; a ike ae la o Naamana ia ia e holo mai ana mahope ona, iho ilalo ia mai ka halekaa mai e halawai me ia, i mai la, Ua pono anei?
Ngakho uGehazi wahaluzela wamxhuma uNamani. Kwathi uNamani embona esiza egijima, wehla enqoleni yakhe wamhlangabeza, wambuza wathi, “Kulungile konke na?”
22 I aku la ia, Ua pono. Ua hoouna mai kuu haku ia'u, i mai la, Aia hoi, i keia manawa, ua hiki mai ia'u nei elua kanaka ui mai ka mauna o Eperaima mai, he mau haumana a ka poe kaula; ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai oe no laua i hookahi talena kala, a i elua lole aahu.
UGehazi wathi, “Yebo, konke kulungile. Inkosi yami ingithumile ukuba ngithi, ‘Sekufike amajaha amabili exuku labaphrofethi bevela elizweni lezintaba elako-Efrayimi, icela ukuba uwanike ithalenta lesiliva elilodwa lezigqoko ezimbili.’”
23 I mai la o Naamana, E oluolu mai oe i ka lawe i na talena elua. Koi mai la oia ia ia, a hoopaa iho la ia i na talena elua iloko o na aa elua, a me na lole aahu elua, a haawi aku la i na kauwa ana elua; a lawe aku la laua imua ona.
UNamani wathi, “Ngokujabula, ngithi thatha amathalenta amabili.” Wamkhuthaza uGehazi ukuba awamukele, wasebophela amathalenta esiliva amabili emigodleni emibili, lamaxha amabili ezigqoko. Wawaqhubela izisebenzi ezimbili, zawathwala zahamba kuqala phambi kukaGehazi.
24 A hiki aku la ma Opela, lawe ae la oia ia mau mea, mai ko laua lima mai, a waiho iho la iloko o ka hale; a kuu aku la i na kanaka, a hoi aku la laua.
Esefikile eqaqeni uGehazi, wathatha impahla kulezozisebenzi wayazibeka endlini. Wathi kababuyele, lakanye basuka.
25 Komo aku la ia maloko, a ku imua o kona haku; ninau mai la o Elisai ia ia, Mai hea mai oe, e Gehazi? I aku la ia, Aole i hele kau kauwa io, a ia nei.
Wasengena wafika wema phambi kwenkosi yakhe u-Elisha. U-Elisha wambuza wathi, “Ube ungaphi Gehazi?” UGehazi waphendula wathi, “Inceku yakho ayizange iye ndawo.”
26 I mai la kela ia ia, Aole anei i hele kuu naau, i ka manawa i huli ae ke kanaka mai kona halekaa mai e halawai me oe? He manawa anei keia e lawe i ke kala, a e lawe i na aahu, me na oliva, a me na pawaina, a me na hipa, a me na bipi, a me na kauwakane a me na kauwawahine?
Kodwa u-Elisha wathi kuye, “Umoya wami ubungekanye lawe na lapho lowomuntu ephenduka enqoleni ekuhlangabeza? Yisikhathi sokwamukela imali lesi na, kumbe esokwamukela izigqoko, lezivande zama-oliva, lamavini lemihlambi yezimvu, leyenkomo, kumbe eyezinceku zesilisa lesifazane?
27 Nolaila e pili mau loa mai ko Naamana lepera ia oe, a me kou hua. A hele ia mai kona alo aku me ka mai lepera e like me ka hau.
Ubulephero bukaNamani buzanamathela kuwe lasenzalweni yakho kuze kube laphakade.” UGehazi wasuka phambi kuka-Elisha eselobulephero esemhlophe njengongqwaqwane.
