[A man named] Naaman was the commander of the army of Syria. Yahweh had enabled him to win many victories/battles. He was a great warrior, and as a result the king of Syria greatly respected him. But he had (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease).

2 Hanki mago kna Siria sondia vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera rohu ome renezmante'za, anampinti mago osi mofara avre'za vu'naze. Ana hazageno ana mofa'mo'a Nemani a'mofo eri'za mofa umani'ne.

[Some time previously, ] groups of soldiers/marauders from Syria had raided/attacked the land of Israel, and they had captured a young girl [and taken her to Syria]. She became a servant for Naaman’s wife.

3 Henka ana mofa'mo'a Nemani nenarona amanage huno asmi'ne, Sameriama mani'nea kasnampa ne'ma negave'ma vuno ome kesiana, amne fugo kri'a azeri so'e hugahie.

One day, that girl said to her, “I wish that (my master/your husband) would go to see the prophet in Samaria. That prophet would heal your husband from his leprosy.”

4 Anankema Nemani'ma nentahino'a, kva ne'are vuno, ana Israeli mofa'mo'ma hiankea ome asmi'ne.

[Naaman’s wife told her husband] what the girl from Israel had said, [and] Naaman told [that] to the king.

5 Higeno kini ne'mo'a ame huno Nemanina asmino, Israeli kini netega nagra mago avo krenta'nena erinka vunka ome amigahane, nehuno kema hiaza higeno ana avona enerino kna'amo'a 340 kilo hu'nea silva zagone enerino, kna'amo'a 60 kilo hu'nea goli enerino, knare'nare kukena 10ni'a e'nerino vu'ne.

The king said to him, “Okay, go [and see the prophet]. I will [write] a letter for you to take to the king of Israel, [saying that I sent you].” The king wrote in the letter, “I am sending this letter with [my army commander] Naaman, who serves me [faithfully]. I want you to heal him of his disease.” So Naaman, [assuming/thinking that the king of Israel was the prophet, took the letter and] 750 pounds of silver, 150 pounds of gold, and ten sets of clothing, to give to the king of Israel, [and he went to Samaria, taking along several servants].

6 Hanki ana Israeli kini netegama krente'nea avona amanahu avo krente'ne. Nagra eri'za vaheni'a Nemanina ama avona kre'na huntogeno kagritega vianki, fugo kri'a azeri so'e hunto.

Ama ne'mo'a fugo krima eri'nea nera azeri so'e huogura huntegeno ome'neanki, nagrama antahuana ha' eme hurante'naku mago'a kankamunku hakeno anara hu'ne.

[When he arrived in Samaria, he gave the letter to the king] of Israel. The king read the letter. Then, being very dismayed, the king tore his clothes and said, “I am not God [RHQ]! I am not able to enable people to live or to die [RHQ]! Why does [the king] who wrote this letter request me to cure this man of his leprosy? I think that he is just wanting to start a fight with me!”

8 Hianagi Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Elisa'ma antahiama Israeli kini ne'mo'ma za'za kukena'ama tagato'ma hiankema nentahino'a, kato ne'a huntegeno vuno amanage hu'ne, Na'ane hunka za'za kukenaka'a tagatora hu'nane? Hagi ana nera atregeno nagrite ena Israelia mago kasnampa nera mani'ne hu'na averira hanena keno antahino hugahie.

But the prophet Elisha heard that the king of Israel had torn his robe [and said that]. So he sent a message to the king, saying, “Why are you upset/frustrated [RHQ]? Send Naaman to me, and he will find out that [because] I am a true prophet [here] in Israel, [I can help/heal him].”

9 Higeno Nemani'a hosi afutamine, karisiramima'ane vuno, Elisa nomofo kafante umani'naze

So Naaman went with his horses and chariots to Elisha’s house and waited outside the door.

10 Anante Elisa'a mago kato vahe hunteno, Nemanina amanage hunka ome asamio, kagra vunka 7ni'a zupa Jodani timpi tina ome fregeno, kavufamo'a so'e hina agru hugahane huno hie hunka ome asamio.

But Elisha [did not come to the door. Instead, he] sent a messenger to Naaman, to tell him, “Go to the Jordan [River] and wash yourself seven times in the river. Then your skin will be restored/healed, and you will no longer have leprosy.”

11 Hianagi Nemanina tusi arimpahegeno nevuno amanage hu'ne, Nagrama antahuana atiramino eme otine'no, Ra Anumzana agri Anumzamofo agi neheno, azana rusuteno veraveverave nehuno fugonkrini'a nazeri so'e hugahie hu'na huanagi anara osie.

But Naaman became very angry. He said, “I thought that surely he would wave his hand over the leprosy, and pray to Yahweh his god, and heal me!

12 Hanki Damaskasia tare tintrena Abana tine Farpari timokea ana maka Israelima me'nea tintamina zamagaterena'e. Ana hu'neanki'na anampi tina fre'na so'ea hugare, nehuno tusi arimpa nehegeno rukrahe huno atreno vu'ne.

Surely the Abana River and the Pharpar River in Damascus [in my own country of Syria] are [RHQ] better than any of the rivers in Israel! Why can I not wash in those rivers and be healed?” [RHQ] So he turned and walked away with great anger/disgust.

13 Hianagi Nemanina eri'za vahe'amo'za eza amanage hu'za asmi'naze, kva ne'moka kasnampa ne'mo'ma mago'ma amuhoma hu'nea zama tro huo huno'ma hiresina, amne ana zana tro hasine. Hu'negu agrama hiaza hunka vunka tina ome fregeno fugo namumo'a atregantena agru huo.

But his servants came to him, and [one of them] said, “Sir, if that prophet had told you to do something difficult, you would certainly [RHQ] have done it. So you should certainly do what he says and wash [in the Jordan River] to be healed!” [RHQ]

14 Higeno Nemani'a ana vaheke antahiteno vuno, Jodani timpi 7ni'a zupa tina ome fre'ne. Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Elisa'ma hu'nea kante anteno tina fregeno fugo kri'amo'a atrentegeno, avufgamo'a osi mofavremofo avufgamo'ma hiaza huno agrunentake hu'ne.

So Naaman went down to the Jordan [River] and washed himself seven times, as (the prophet/Elisha) told him to do. Then his skin was restored/healed, and it became healthy/smooth, like the skin of a young child.

15 Ana hutege'za Nemani'ene eri'za vahe'amo'za ete Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa nete e'naze. Anama hute'za Nemani'a Elisa avuga ome otino amanage hu'ne, Menima nagrama antahuana maka ama mopafina mago anumzana omani'neanki, Israeli vahe'motma tamagri Anumzamo agrake maka vahe Ra Anumzana mani'ne. E'ina hu'negu muse hugantoanki kvanimoka ama kamua musezana erio.

Then Naaman and those who were with him went back to talk to Elisha. They stood in front of him, and Naaman said, “Now I know that there are no real gods anywhere else in the world, but there is a God here in Israel! So now please accept these gifts that I [have brought to you]!”

16 Anagema higeno'a, Elisa'a kenona'a amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzama kasefa huno mani'nege'nama Agri eri'zama enerua Anumzamofo agifi tamage hu'na huankina, mago musezana e'origahue. Anage higeno Nemani'a tutu huno erio hu'neanagi, Elisa'a e'oritfa hu'ne.

But Elisha replied, “Just as certainly as Yahweh, the one whom I serve, lives, I will not accept any gifts.” Naaman kept urging him [to accept the gifts], but Elisha kept refusing.

17 Anagema higeno'a, anante Nemani'a Elisana asmino, Kagra musezama e'oriku'ma hanunka, kvanimoka natrege'na mago'a Israelitira mopa kate'na tare miuli donki afu tre'mokema eriga avamente eri'na kumanirega va'neno. Hanki kvanimoka meninteti'ma vanige'na mago'a anumzantera Kresramana vuontege, ofanena huontegahue. Hianagi Ra Anumzamofonteke kresramna vunente'na, ofanena huntegahue.

Then Naaman said, “Okay, but [I have one request. This dirt here in Israel is holy, so] please allow me to take some dirt from this place and put it [in sacks] on two mules. Then I will take it back home with me [and make an altar on this dirt]. From now on, I will offer sacrifices to Yahweh [on that altar]. I will not offer sacrifices to any other god.

18 Hianagi eri'za vahe'kamo'na Ra Anumzamo'a magoke zantfante kumi'ni'a atrentegahie. Kva ne'nimo'ma Rimoni havi anumzamofo mono nompima nevuno'a, nazante azerineno mono'ma hunte'naku'ma kepri'ma hige'na, nagrane prira nehue. E'ina hu'negu eri'za vaheka'mo'na Ra Anumzamo'a kumini'a atrenantesie.

However, when my master, [the king, ] goes into the temple of the god Rimmon to worship him/it there, and he is leaning on my arm, I hope/desire that Yahweh will forgive me because I will have to bow down, too.”

19 Anage higeno Elisa'a asmino, antahintahi hakarea osunka krimpa frune vuo. Hianagi Nemani'a zazatera ovu'negeno,

Elisha replied, “Go home, and do not worry about that.” So Naaman [and his servants] started to travel home.

20 Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Elisa kato ne'mo Gehasi'a amanage huno agesa antahi'ne, Kvani'mo'a Nemanina amne atregeno vu'ne. Na'ahigeno Nemani'ma musezama amiku'ma hiazana e'ori'ne. Kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo avufi tamage huanki'na, nagra Nemani amage taragi'na vu'na ana zantamia mago'a ome erigahue.

But then Elisha’s servant Gehazi said to himself, “It is not good that my master allowed this Syrian man to leave like this. He should have accepted his gifts. So just as certainly as Yahweh lives, I will go and catch up with Naaman and get something from him.”

21 Anage nehuno Gehasi'a agareno Nemanina avaririno vu'ne. Hanki Gehasi'ma avaririno eazama Nemani'ma negeno'a, Gehasina agenaku karisi'afinti takaureno Gehasina anage huno antahige'ne, Mago'a hazenke me'negenka neano?

So Gehazi hurried to catch up with Naaman. When Naaman saw Gehazi running toward him, he [stopped] the chariot [in which he was riding, ] jumped out, and went to see what Gehazi wanted. He asked him, “Is everything all right?”

22 Higeno Gehasi'a kenona huno, Mago'a kea omne'neanki, kva ne'nimo'a amanage huo huno hunante'ne. Efraemi naga agona mopafima mani'naza kasnampa vahepinti menina tare netrena e'na'e. Ana hu'naku kagra mago silva zagone kukena tare zanamiogu hunantege'na e'noe.

Gehazi replied, “Yes, but two young prophets from the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim live have just arrived. Elisha has sent me to tell you that he would like 75 pounds of silver and two sets of clothing to give to them.”

23 Higeno Nemani'a kenona'a huno, I'o silva zagoa mago kura e'origahananki, tare ku erigahane huno nehuno, Gehasina tutu huno erio higeno, Gehasi'a antahi fru huno eri'ne. Ana nehuno Nemani'a kna'amo'a 68 kilo hu'nea silva zago refko huno tare kupi eraritere nehuno, kukena tare erinteno eri zanamigeke tare eri'za vahe'amokea Gehasina azahuke erike vu'na'e.

Naaman replied, “Certainly! You can have 150 pounds of silver!” He urged Gehazi to take it. He also gave him two sets of clothing. He tied up the silver in two bags and gave them to two of his servants to carry back to Elisha.

24 Hanki agonare'ma ete'za, Gehasia ana zantamina tare eri'za netremokizni zanazampintira erino noma'afi erinenteno, ana netrena huznantegeke ete vu'na'e.

But when they arrived at the hill [where Elisha lived], Gehazi took the silver and the clothes from Naaman’s servants and sent the servants back to Naaman. Then he took those things into his house and hid them.

25 Ana huteno Gehasia ufreno Elisa avure uotigeno, Elisa'a huno, Iga vu'nanane, huno antahigegeno Gehasi'a kenona huno, Kva vahe'nimoka mago'arega vu'na e'na osu'noe.

When he went to Elisha, Elisha asked him, “Where did you go, Gehazi?” Gehazi replied, “I did not go anywhere.”

26 Hianagi Elisa'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Mago vahemo'ma kagrane keaga huku'ma karisiafinti'ma erami'neana, nagra avamupina kagrane mani'nena kagenoana ontahi'nampi?

Elisha asked him, [“Do you not realize that] my spirit was there when Naaman got out of his chariot to talk with you? This is certainly not [RHQ] the time to accept gifts of money and clothes and olive groves and vineyards and sheep and oxen and servants!

27 E'ina hu'negu Nemani fugo krimo'a takaureno kagrite'ene kagripinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahete'ene maka kna mevava huno vugahie. Anage hutegeno Elisa avugati'ma Gehasi'a atreno nevigeno, fugo krimo'a azeri haviza higeno maka avufgamo'a efenentake huno hamponkna hu'ne.

Because you have done this, you and your children and all your descendants, forever, will have leprosy just like Naaman had!” And when Gehazi left the room, he was a leper! His skin was as white as snow!
