2 Ndị Eze 5
1 Nʼoge a, Neeman bụ ọchịagha ndị agha eze Aram, Ọ bụ onye dị ukwuu nʼanya nna ya ukwu, bụrụkwa onye a na-enye nsọpụrụ nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼaka ya nye ndị agha Aram mmeri nʼọgbọ agha dị iche iche. Ọ bụ dike na dimkpa nʼagha, maọbụ onye ekpenta.
Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance to Syria: he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a leper.
2 Otu mgbe, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị agha Aram na-apụnara ndị mmadụ ihe pụrụ ga dọta otu nwaagbọghọ nta site nʼIzrel, onye na-ejere nwunye Neeman ozi.
And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
3 Ọ sịrị nne ya ukwu, “Ọ gaara atọ m ụtọ ma a sị na nna m ukwu ga-aga hụ onye amụma nọ na Sameria. Ọ ga-agwọ ya ọrịa ekpenta a.”
And she said to her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.
4 Neeman nụrụ nke a, bilie gaa kọọrọ eze Aram ihe niile nwaagbọghọ a si Izrel kwuru.
And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.
5 Eze Aram sịrị, “Bilie, gaa, aga m ezigakwara eze Izrel akwụkwọ ozi.” Ya mere Neeman gara, ọ chịịrị talenti ọlaọcha iri, na puku shekel ọlaedo isii, na uwe ọma dị iche iche, nke dị iri nʼọnụọgụgụ.
And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to 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 Nke a bụkwa ihe dị nʼime akwụkwọ ahụ eze Aram degaara eze Izrel: “Nwoke a ji akwụkwọ a bịakwute gị bụ Neeman, onyeisi ndị agha m. Biko, achọrọ m ka ị gwọọ ya ọrịa ekpenta dị ya nʼahụ.”
And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come to you, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may recover him of his leprosy.
7 Ngwangwa eze Izrel gụrụ akwụkwọ ahụ, ọ dọwara uwe ya sị, “Abụ m Chineke? A pụrụ m ime ka mmadụ nwụọ na ime ka mmadụ dị ndụ? Gịnị mere nwoke a ji ezitere m onye m ga-agwọ ọrịa ekpenta? Lee ka o si na-achọ ụzọ anyị ga-eji nwee esemokwu.”
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 does send to me to recover a man of his leprosy? why consider, I pray you, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.
8 Mgbe Ịlaisha onye Chineke nụrụ na eze Izrel dọwara uwe ya, o ziri ozi a zigara ya sị, “Gịnị mere i ji dọwaa uwe gị? Zitere m Neeman. Ọ ga-amatakwa na e nwere onye amụma nʼIzrel.”
And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Why have you rent your clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
9 Ya mere, Neeman bịarutere guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ Ịlaisha, ya na ịnyịnya ya, na ụgbọ agha ya.
So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 Ịlaisha zigara onyeozi ya nke bịara zie sị ya, “Jee saa ahụ gị ugboro asaa nʼosimiri Jọdan. I mee nke a, ekpenta ahụ ga-esi nʼakụkụ ahụ gị niile pụọ. Ị ga-adịkwa ọcha.”
And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.
11 Ma Neeman were iwe nke ukwuu tụgharịa bido ịlaghachi ebe o si bịa. Mgbe ọ na-ala, ọ na-ekwu na-asị, “Echere m na ọ ga-apụkwute m, guzo, kpọkuo aha Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, fufee aka ya nʼebe ahụ ọrịa m dị, gwọọ m ọrịa ekpenta m.
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 strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
12 Abana na Fapa, bụ osimiri dị na Damaskọs, ha adịghị mma karịa mmiri Izrel niile? Ọ bụ na m enweghị ike ịsa ahụ nʼime ha ma dị ọcha.” Ọ tụgharịrị jiri ọnụma pụọ.
Are not Abana and Pharpar, 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 Ma ndị ozi Neeman jekwuru ya sị ya, “Nna anyị, a sị na ọ bụ ihe sịrị ike nke ukwuu ka onye amụma ahụ gwara gị sị gị mee, ị garaghị eme ya? Ma ihe ọ sị gị mee bụ naanị ‘Gaa saa ahụ gị ka ị dị ọcha.’”
And his servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid you do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much rather then, when he says to you, Wash, and be clean?
14 Ya mere, ọ gara sụnye onwe ya nʼime osimiri Jọdan ugboro asaa, dịka onye nke Chineke gwara ya. Anụ ahụ ya lọghachiri dị ọcha ka anụ ahụ nwantakịrị.
Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like to the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Neeman na ndị niile ya na ha so laghachikwutere onye nke Chineke. O guzoro nʼihu ya sị, “Ugbu a amatala m na ọ dịghị Chineke ọzọ dị nʼụwa niile ma ọ bụghị naanị nʼIzrel. Ya mere, biko, nara onyinye a site nʼaka ohu gị.”
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 you, take a blessing of your servant.
16 Ma Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, bụ onye m na-ejere ozi, agaghị m ana gị ihe ọbụla.” Ma Neeman rịọrọ ya arịrịọ ka ọ nara ya, ma ọ jụrụ ajụ.
But he said, As the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
17 Mgbe ahụ Neeman sịrị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị gaghị anara, biko, kwerenụ ka m kporo aja nke ịnyịnya abụọ nwere ike ibu. Nʼihi na site ugbu a gaa nʼihu, agaghị m achụrụ chi ọzọ aja nsure ọkụ, ma ọ bụghị naanị Onyenwe anyị.
And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray you, be given to your servant two mules’ burden of earth? for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to the LORD.
18 Ma ka Onyenwe anyị gbaghara ohu gị naanị otu ihe a. Mgbe nna m ukwu banyere nʼụlọ arụsị Rimọn ịkpọ isiala, mgbe ọ na-adabere nʼaka m, nke ga-eme ka mụ onwe m kpọọkwa isiala. Mgbe m si otu a kpọọ isiala nʼụlọ arụsị Rimọn, ka Onyenwe anyị gbaghara ohu gị nʼihi nke a.”
In this thing the LORD pardon your servant, that 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 down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon your servant in this thing.
19 Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Ọ dị mma, laa nʼudo.” Mgbe Neeman lawara, o jerubeghị ebe dị anya,
And he said to him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.
20 Gehazi, bụ onyeozi Ịlaisha onye nke Chineke, sịrị nʼobi ya, “Nna m ukwu emezighị ikwere ka Neeman onye Aram laa na-anataghị ya ihe o ji bịa. Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, aga m eji ọsọ gbakwuru ya napụta ya ụfọdụ ihe ahụ.”
But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD lives, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.
21 Ya mere, Gehazi gbara ọsọ gbakwuru Neeman. Mgbe Neeman hụrụ ya ka ọ gba ọsọ na-abịa, o si nʼelu ụgbọ agha ya wudata gaa zute ya, jụọ ya sị: “Udo ọ dịkwa?”
So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
22 “E, udo dị,” ka Gehazi zara, “Onyenwe m zitere m ka m gwa gị, ‘Lee, ụmụ okorobịa abụọ nʼetiti ndị amụma si nʼugwu Ifrem bịakwute m. Biko nye ha otu talenti ọlaọcha na uwe mgbanwe abụọ.’”
And he said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray you, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
23 Ma Neeman zara sị ya, “Biko, were talenti abụọ.” Ọ kwagidere Gehazi ka ọ nara ha. O kechiri talenti ọlaọcha abụọ ahụ nʼakpa abụọ, tinyere uwe mgbanwe abụọ. O bunyere ndị ohu ya ka ha buru ya na-aga nʼihu 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 garments, and laid them on two of his servants; and they bore them before him.
24 Ma mgbe ha rutere nʼugwu, Gehazi naara ndị ohu Neeman ihe ndị ahụ, sị ha laghachikwa. O zoro ihe ndị ahụ nʼime ụlọ.
And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.
25 Mgbe ọ batara nʼụlọ guzo nʼihu nna ya ukwu, Ịlaisha jụrụ ya sị, “Ebee ka i si na-abịa Gehazi?” Ọ zara, “Ohu gị ejeghị ebe ọbụla.”
But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, From where come you, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went no where.
26 Mgbe ahụ Ịlaisha zara ya, “Ọ bụ na mmụọ m esoghị gị mgbe nwoke ahụ si nʼụgbọ ya rịdata izute gị? Oge a ọ bụ oge ịnara ego, na ịnara uwe, na ịnara ubi oliv, na ubi vaịnị, na igwe ehi, na igwe atụrụ, na ndị ohu ndị ikom, na ndị ohu ndị inyom na-eje ozi?
And he said to him, Went not my heart with you, when the man turned again 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 oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
27 Nʼihi nke a, ekpenta ahụ dị Neeman ga-abịakwasị gị, na ụmụ ụmụ gị, ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.” Ya mere, Gehazi ghọrọ onye ekpenta si nʼihu ya pụọ. Anụ ahụ ya bidokwara ịcha ọcha dịka ogho ọcha.
The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall stick to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
