< 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.
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 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.
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 Le hoe re amy rakemba talè’ey, Lonike te tamy mpitoky e Somerone añey ty talèko, le ho nijangañ’ amy haangamae’ey.
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 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.
Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said tile girl from the land of Israel.
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 Iris horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus:
10 Nañitrifa’ i Elisà ìrake nanao ty hoe: Akia, misasà im-pito am’ Iordaney, le ho jangañe ty sandri’o vaho halio.
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 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.
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 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 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 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?
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 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,
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 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.
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 hoe re: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà ijohañako, izaho tsy handrambe. Ndra te nosihe’e handrambe, nifoneñe.
But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still 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.
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 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.
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 Le hoe re ama’e Akia, an-kanintsiñe. Aa ie nisitake eroa hoek’ eo,
And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.
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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Le hoe t’i Elisà ama’e. Hirik’ aia v’iheo Gekazý? Le hoe re: Tsy nimb’ aia o mpitoro’oo.
But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither.
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 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 Aa le hipitek’ ama’o naho amo tiri’oo nainai’e ty haangamae’ i Naamane. Aa le angamae foty mikatsa­tsaoke re te niavota’e.
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.
