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.

Now Naiman, the captain of the host of Syria, was a great man before his master, and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria, and the man was mighty in strength, [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.

And the Syrians went forth in small bands, and took captive out of the land of Israel a little maid: and she waited on Naiman'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, O that my lord were before the prophet of God in Samaria; then he would recover him from his leprosy.

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.

And she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid 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 said to Naiman, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten 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 he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now then, as soon as this letter shall reach you, behold, I have sent to you my servant Naiman, and you shall recover him from 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 it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, [that] he tore his garments, and said, [Am] I God, to kill and to make alive, that this [man] sends to me to recover a man of his leprosy? consider, however, I pray you, and see that this [man] seeks an occasion 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 it came to pass, when Elisaie heard that the king of Israel had tore his garments, that he sent to the king of Israel, saying, Therefore have you tore your garments? Let Naiman, I pray you, 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 Naiman came with horse and chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisaie.

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

And Elisaie sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash seven times in Jordan, and your flesh shall return to you, and you shall be cleansed.

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.

And Naiman was angry, and departed, and said, Behold, I said, He will by all means come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of his God, and lay his hand upon the place, and recover the leper.

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 Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not go and wash in them, and be cleansed? and he turned and went away in a rage.

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?

And his servants came near and said to him, [Suppose] the prophet had spoken a great thing to you, would you not perform it? yet he has but said to you, Wash, and be cleansed.

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.

So Naiman went down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the word of Elisaie: and his flesh returned to him as the flesh of a little child, and he was cleansed.

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 he and all his company returned to Elisaie, and he came and stood before him, and said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth, save only in Israel: and now receive a blessing of your 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.

And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not take [one]. And he pressed him to take [one]: but he would not.

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 Naiman said, Well then, if not, let there be given to your servant, I pray you, the load [of a] yoke of mules; and you shall give me of the red earth: for henceforth your servant will not offer whole burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but only to the Lord by [reason of] this thing.

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.

And let the Lord be propitious to your servant when my master goes into the house of Remman to worship there, and he shall lean on my hand, and I shall bow down in the house of Remman when he bows down in the house of Remman; even let the Lord, I pray, be merciful to your servant in this matter.

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

And Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.

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.

And Giezi the servant of Elisaie said, Behold, my Lord has spared this Syrian Naiman, so as not to take of his hand what he has brought: as the Lord lives, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat 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?

So Giezi followed after Naiman: and Naiman saw him running after him, and turned back from his chariot to meet him.

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 [Giezi] said, All is well: my master has sent me, saying, Behold, now are there come to me two young men of the sons of the prophets from mount Ephraim; give them, I pray you, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.

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 [Naiman] said, Take two talents of silver. And he took two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and put them upon two of his servants, and they bore 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 he came to a secret place, and took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and dismissed the men.

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.

And he went in himself and stood before his master; and Elisaie said to him,

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?

Whence [come you], Giezi? and Giezi said, Your servant has not been hither or there. And Elisaie said to him, Went not my heart with you, when the man returned from his chariot to meet you? and now you have received silver, and now you have received raiment, and olive yards, 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.

The leprosy also of Naiman shall cleave to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, like snow.
