2 Mpanjaka 5
1 Ni-ondaty ra’elahy aman-talè’e t’i Naamane, mpifeleke ty valobohò’ i Arame, nanan-kasy amy te tinolo’ Iehovà fandrebahañe ho a i Arame; fanalolahy nahasibeke ondatio, f’ie niangamae.
Now Naaman, the commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man in his master’s sight and highly regarded, for through him the LORD had given victory to Aram. And he was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
2 Teo te niakatse am-pirimboñañe o nte-Arameo naho ninday ty ajaja ampela an-drohy boak’ an-tane’ Israele añe, ie ty niatrake ty tañanjomba’ i Naamane.
At this time the Arameans had gone out in bands and had taken a young girl from the land of Israel, and she was serving Naaman’s wife.
3 Le hoe re amy rakemba talè’ey, Lonike te tamy mpitoky e Somerone añey ty talèko, le ho nijangañ’ amy haangamae’ey.
She said to her mistress, “If only my master would go to the prophet who is in Samaria, he would cure him of his leprosy.”
4 Aa le nimb’eo re nitalily aman-talè’e ty hoe: Hoe zao naho ty hoe ty natalili’ i anak’ ampatañe boak’ an-tane’ Israeley.
And Naaman went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said.
5 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Arame. Akia, henaneo, le hañitrifako taratasy ty mpanjaka’ Israele. Le nienga re ninday talenta volafoty folo naho bogady volamena eneñ-arivo vaho fiovan-tsaroñe folo.
“Go now,” said the king of Aram, “and I will send you with a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman departed, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten sets of clothing.
6 Le nendese’e mb’amy mpanjaka’ Israeley añe i taratasy nanao ty hoe: Ie henaneo, ami’ty fiavi’ ty taratasy toy ama’oy, ingo fa niraheko mb’ama’o t’i Naamane mpitoroko, hañafaha’o i haangamae’ey.
And the letter that he took to the king of Israel stated: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman, so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”
7 Aa ie namaky i taratasiy i mpanjakay le rinia’e o siki’eo nanao ty hoe, Andrianañahare v’iraho hahafate naho hahaveloñe, te nirahe’ ondatio amako t’indaty toy hañafahañe ty haangamae ama’e? Aa le isafirio naho oniño t’ie manao lie-drokoñe amako.
When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and asked, “Am I God, killing and giving life, that this man expects me to cure a leper? Surely you can see that he is seeking a quarrel with me!”
8 Aa ie jinanji’ i Elisà, ondatin’ Añahare, te nandriatse ty saro’e i mpanjakay, le nirahe’e mb’amy mpanjakay ty hoe: Akore ty nandriata’o saroñe? Ampombao mb’ amako mb’ etoa hahafohina’e te amam-pitoky t’Israele.
Now when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent a message to the king: “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let the man come to me, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
9 Aa le nimb’eo t’i Naamane rekets’ o soavala’eo, naho i sarete’ey, vaho nijohañe an-dala’ i Elisà eo.
So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the door of Elisha’s house.
10 Nañitrifa’ i Elisà ìrake nanao ty hoe: Akia, misasà im-pito am’ Iordaney, le ho jangañe ty sandri’o vaho halio.
Then Elisha sent him a messenger, who said, “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored, and you will be clean.”
11 Fe niavotse mb’eo t’i Naamane, le hoe re amy hatorifi’ey: Inay ie, nataoko te tsy mete tsy ho niakatse amako, ho nijohañe eo nikanjy ty tahina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e, le hañelahela fitañe ambone’ i rarey hañafaha’e i haangamaey.
But Naaman went away angry, saying, “I thought that he would surely come out, stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the spot to cure my leprosy.
12 Tsy lombolombo’ ze hene rano’ Israele hao ty Amanà naho ty Par’pare, oñe e Damesèk’ ao? Tsy hamake hisasa ami’ty raik’ am’ iereo haliovako? Le nitsambolitio’e fa nitorìtotse.
Are not the Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not have washed in them and been cleansed?” So he turned and went away in a rage.
13 Niharinea’ o mpitoro’eo nanao ty hoe. O roaeko, naho nampanoe’ i mpitokiy raha ra’elahy, tsy ho nanoe’o? Àntsake t’ie nanao ty hoe: Misasà, halio?
Naaman’s servants, however, approached him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’?”
14 Aa le nizotso mb’eo re nilipotse im-pito am’ Iordaney, ty amy saontsi’ indatin’ Àñahareiy; le nibalike indraike ho hambañe ami’ty nofon’ anak’ ajaja ty nofo’e, vaho nalio,
So Naaman went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored and became like that of a little child, and he was clean.
15 le nibalike mb’am’ indatin’ Añaharey, ie naho o mpindre-lia ama’e iabio; nimbeo re nijohañe añatrefa’e, nanao ty hoe: Fohiko henaneo te tsy aman-Añahare ty tane toy naho tsy e Israele ao avao. Ie amy zao, ehe, andrambeso ravoravo amo mpitoro’oo.
Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God, stood before him, and declared, “Now I know for sure that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.”
16 Fa hoe re: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà ijohañako, izaho tsy handrambe. Ndra te nosihe’e handrambe, nifoneñe.
But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives, before whom I stand, I will not accept it.” And although Naaman urged him to accept it, he refused.
17 Le hoe t’i Naamane, Miambane ama’o, tsy hatolotse amo mpitoro’oo hao ty tane ho entam-borìke roe? Amy te le lia’e tsy hañenga horoañe ndra hanao soroñe amo ‘ndrahare ila’eo o mpitoro’oo henane zao naho tsy am’ Iehovà avao.
“If you will not,” said Naaman, “please let me, your servant, be given as much soil as a pair of mules can carry. For your servant will never again make a burnt offering or a sacrifice to any other god but the LORD.
18 Fe amo raha zao, ehe, te hapo’ Iehovà ty hakeom-pitoro’o, te ie mimoak’ an-kiboho’ i Rimone ty talèko hitalaho naho manazok’ an-tañako hibokoboko an-kiboho’ i Rimone ao; te hado’ Iehovà i tahi’ o mpitoro’ooy, izaho miambane an-kiboho’ i Rimone ao.
Yet may the LORD forgive your servant this one thing: When my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my arm, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the LORD forgive your servant in this matter.”
19 Le hoe re ama’e Akia, an-kanintsiñe. Aa ie nisitake eroa hoek’ eo,
“Go in peace,” said Elisha. But after Naaman had traveled a short distance,
20 le hoe ty natao’ i Gekazý mpitoro’ i Elisà, indatin’ Añaharey, Inge te napo’ i talèko t’i Naamane nte-Arame, ie tsy nandrambe am-pità’e o nendese’eo. Aa kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, hihitrihitry mb’ama’e iraho hangalak’ ama’e.
Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Look, my master has spared this Aramean, Naaman, while not accepting what he brought. As surely as the LORD lives, I will run after him and get something from him.”
21 Aa le niheañe’ i Gekazý t’i Naamane, le ie niisa’ i Naamane t’ie nañeañe aze, le nizotso an-tsarete’e hifañaoñe ama’e, vaho hoe re: manintsiñe hao?
So Gehazi pursued Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running toward him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and asked, “Is everything all right?”
22 Le hoe re, Mbe soa, fa nañirak’ ahy i talèkoy, hinday ty hoe: Inao, pok’ amako aniany ty ajalahy roe anam-pitoky boak’ am-bohi’ Efraime añe, Ehe, anoloro talenta volafoty naho fiovan-tsiky roe.
“Everything is all right,” Gehazi replied. “My master has sent me to say, ‘I have just now discovered that two young men from the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two sets of clothing.’”
23 Le hoe t’i Naamane, Aa naho tea’o rambeso talenta roe. Le nañosik’ aze vaho nafato’e an-koroñe roe ao ty talenta volafoty roe mitraok’ ami’ty fiovan-tsaroñe roe naho nampipoha’e ami’ty mpitoro’e roe vaho nendese’ iareo aolo’e mb’eo.
But Naaman insisted, “Please, take two talents.” And he urged Gehazi to accept them. Then he tied up two talents of silver in two bags along with two sets of clothing and gave them to two of his servants, who carried them ahead of Gehazi.
24 Ie avy an-tamboho ey, le rinambe’e am-pità’ iareo o rahao, naho napo’e añ’ anjomba ao; naho nirahe’e mb’ eo indaty rey vaho nienga. Nimoak’ ao re nijohañe añatrefa’ i talè’ey.
When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the gifts from the servants and stored them in the house. Then he dismissed the men, and they departed.
25 Le hoe t’i Elisà ama’e. Hirik’ aia v’iheo Gekazý? Le hoe re: Tsy nimb’ aia o mpitoro’oo.
When Gehazi went in and stood before his master, Elisha asked him, “Gehazi, where have you been?” “Your servant did not go anywhere,” he replied.
26 Aa hoe re tama’e: Tsy nindre ama’o hao ty troko, ie nitolik’ amy sarete’ey indatiy hifanalaka ama’o? Andro handrambesan-drala ke handrambesan-tsikiñe naho tanen’ olive naho tanembahe naho añondry naho añombe naho lahilahy mpitoroñe vaho ampela mpitoroñe hao henaneo?
But Elisha questioned him, “Did not my spirit go with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to accept money and clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, menservants and maidservants?
27 Aa le hipitek’ ama’o naho amo tiri’oo nainai’e ty haangamae’ i Naamane. Aa le angamae foty mikatsatsaoke re te niavota’e.
Therefore, the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and your descendants forever!” And as Gehazi left his presence, he was leprous—as white as snow.
