2 Mpanjaka 5

1 Ary Namàna, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Syria, dia olona lehibe teo anatrehan’ ny tompony sady nanan-kaja, satria izy no namonjen’ i Jehovah an’ i Syria; ary lehilahy mahery izy, nefa kosa boka.

Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria: and he was a valiant man and rich, but a leper.

2 Ary ny Syriana nivoaka nanao an-tokony ka nitondra ny zazavavy kely anankiray babo avy tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely; ary nanompo ny vadin’ i Namana io.

Now there had gone out robbers from Syria, and had led away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid, and she waited upon Naaman’s wife.

3 Ary hoy io tamin’ ny tompovaviny: Enga anie ka mba ao amin’ ny mpaminany izay any Samaria ny tompoko! dia hahasitrana azy amin’ ny habokany izy.

And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the prophet, that is in Samaria: he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath.

4 Ary niditra Namana ka nilaza tamin’ ny tompony hoe: Izany ka izany no nolazain’ ilay zazavavy izay avy tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Isiraely.

Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said tile girl from the land of Israel.

5 Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ i Syria: Andeha ary mandeha, fa hampitondra taratasy ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely aho. Dia lasa izy sady nitondra talenta volafotsy folo sy volamena enina arivo sekely ary akanjo im-polo miova teny an-tànany.

And the king of Syria sad to him: 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 tell changes of raiment,

6 Ary izy nitondra ny taratasy ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nanao hoe: Ary raha tonga atỳ aminao ity taratasy ity, dia ho fantatrao fa efa nampandeha an’ i Namàna mpanompoko aho hankatỳ aminao, koa sitrano amin’ ny habokany izy.

And brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: When thou shalt receive this letter, know that I have sent to thee Naaman my servant, that thou mayest heal him of his leprosy.

7 Ary nony efa novakin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ny taratasy, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra va aho ka hahafaty na hahavelona, no anirahan’ ilehiny atỳ amiko mba hahasitrana olona amin’ ny habokany? Koa masìna ianareo, fantaro sy izahao fa mila ady amiko mihitsy izy.

And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments, and said: Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man hath sent to me, to heal a man of his leprosy? mark, and see how he seeketh occasions against me.

8 Ary rehefa ren’ i Elisa, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, fa nandriatra ny fitafiany ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, dia naniraka tany amin’ ny mpanjaka izy ka nanao hoe: Nahoana no nandriatra ny fitafianao ianao? Aoka izy hankatỳ amiko, dia ho fantany fa misy mpaminany tokoa ao amin’ ny Isiraely.

And when Eliseus the man of God had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.

9 Ary dia nandeha Namàna nitondra ny soavaliny sy ny kalesiny ka nijanona teo am-baravaran’ ny tranon’ i Elisa.

So Naaman came with Iris horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus:

10 Ary Elisa naniraka olona tany aminy hilaza hoe: Mandehana, mandroa impito ao Jordana, dia hody aminao indray ny nofonao, ka hadio ianao.

And Eliseus sent a messenger to him, saying: Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and thy flesh shall recover health, and thee shalt be clean.

11 Fa tezitra Namàna, dia lasa ka nanao hoe: Indro, nataoko fa hivoaka hankatỳ amiko mihitsy izy ka hitsangana ary hiantso ny anaran’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny sady hanevaheva ny tànany eo ambonin’ ny aretina ka hahasitrana ny boka.

Naaman was angry and went away, saying: I thought he would hare come out to me, and standing would hare invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me.

12 Tsy tsara noho ny ranon’ ny Isiraely rehetra va Abana sy Farpara, onin’ i Damaskosy? Tsy mahazo mandro ao amin’ ireo va aho ka hadio? Dia nihodina izy ka lasa an-katezerana.

Are not the Abana, and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation,

13 Dia nanatona ny mpanompony ka niteny taminy hoe: Ry ikaky ô, na dia zavatra lehibe aza no nasain’ ny mpaminany ho nataonao, moa tsy mba ho nataonao va izany? koa mainka va, raha hoy izy aminao: Mandroa, dia hadio ianao?

His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt he clean?

14 Dia nidina izy ka nisitrika tao Jordana impito araka ny tenin’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra: ary ny nofony dia tonga tahaka ny nofon-jazakely indray, ka nadio izy.

Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times: according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child, and he was made clean.

15 Ary niverina nankao amin’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra izy mbamin’ izay rehetra nanaraka azy, dia tonga tao ary nitsangana teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Indro, fantatro fa tsy misy Andriamanitra amin’ ny tany rehetra, afa-tsy ato amin’ ny Isiraely ihany koa masìna ianao, raiso ny saotra aterin’ ny mpanomponao.

And returning to the man of God with all his train, be came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee therefore take a blessing of thy servant.

16 Fa hoy izy: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay itsanganako eo anatrehany, tsy handray mihitsy aho. Ary nanery azy handray izy; fa tsy nety Elisa.

But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still refused.

17 Ary hoy Namana: Masìna ianao, moa tsy homena tany zakan’ ny ampondra roa va izaho mpanomponao? fa ny mpanomponao tsy mba hanatitra fanatitra dorana na fanatitra hafa intsony ho an’ ny andriamani-kafa, fa ho an’ i Jehovah ihany.

And Naaman said: As thou wilt: but I beseech thee, grant to me thy servant, to take from hence two mules’ burden of earth: for thy servant will not henceforth offer holocaust, or victim, to other gods, but to the Lord.

18 Nefa ny amin’ izao zavatra izao dia aoka havelan’ i Jehovah ny heloky ny mpanomponao: raha ny tompoko miditra ao an-tranon-dRimona hiankohoka ao ary mitehina amin’ ny tanako, ka mba miankohoka ao an-tranon-dRimona aho, raha miankohoka ao aho, Jehovah anie hamela ny heloky ny mpanomponao amin’ izany zavatra izany.

But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant, when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship: and he leaneth upon my hand, if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me thy servant for this thing.

19 Ary hoy izy taminy: Mandehana soa aman-tsara. Ary dia niala taminy izy ka lasa lavidavitra.

And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.

20 Fa hoy Gehazy, zatovon’ i Elisa, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra: Indro, ny tompoko namela fotsiny ity Namàna Syriana ity ka tsy nandray tamin’ ny tànany izay zavatra nentiny, fa raha velona koa Jehovah, dia hihazakazaka hanaraka azy aho ka handray zavatra aminy.

But Giezi the servant of the man of God said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take some thing of him:

21 Ka dia lasa Gehazy nanaraka an’ i Namàna Ary nony tazan’ i Namàna avy mihazakazaka manaraka azy izy, dia niala faingana tamin’ ny kalesy hitsena azy izy ka nanao hoe: Tsara ihany va?

And Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Is all well?

22 Ary hoy izy: Tsara ihany; kanefa ny tompoko naniraka ahy hilaza hoe: Indro ankehitriny misy zatovo roa lahy amin’ ny zanaky ny mpaminany tonga atỳ amiko avy any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima; koa masìna ianao, omeo talenta volafotsy sy fitafiana indroa miova izy.

And he said: Well: my master hath sent me to thee, saying: Just now there are come to me from mount Ephraim, two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

23 Ary hoy Namàna: Aoka handray talenta roa ianao. Ary nanery azy izy sady namehy talenta volafotsy roa tao anaty kitapo roa mbamin’ ny fitafiana indroa miova, ka nampitondrainy ny zatovony roa lahy izany; ary nitondra izany teo alohany ireo.

And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him.

24 Fa nony tonga tao amin’ ny havoana izy, dia nalainy teny an-tànany izany ka napetrany tao an-trano; dia nampandehaniny ireo, ka dia lasa izy.

And when he was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, and they departed.

25 Fa Gehazy kosa niditra ka nitsangana teo anatrehan’ ny tompony. Ary hoy Elisa taminy: Avy taiza ianao, ry Gehazy? Dia hoy izy: Tsy avy taiza tsy avy taiza ny mpanomponao.

But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither.

26 Fa hoy kosa Elisa taminy: Tsy niaraka taminao ihany va ny foko tamin’ ilay nihodina niala tamin’ ny kalesy hitsena anao ralehilahy? Moa andro fandraisam-bola, na fandraisana fitafiana, na tanin’ oliva, na tanim-boaloboka, na ondry aman’ osy, na omby, na ankizilahy, na ankizivavy va izao?

But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.

27 Koa ny habokan’ i Namàna dia hiraikitra aminao sy ny taranakao mandrakizay. Ary niala teo anatrehany izy ka, indro, boka fotsy toy ny oram-panala.

But the leprosy of Naaman shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from him a leper as white as snow.
