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, the king of Aram's army commander was considered a great man by his master and highly respected, for through him the Lord had made the Arameans victorious. He was a mighty warrior, 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.
Some Arameans had gone on a raid and had captured a young girl from the land of Israel. She had been made a servant to 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 told her mistress, “If only my master would go and see the prophet who lives in Samaria. I'm sure he could 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.
Naaman went to his master and explained what the Israelite girl 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.
“You can go,” said the king of Aram, “and I will send a letter with you to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left. He took 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.
The letter he took to the king of Israel read: “This letter accompanies my servant Naaman, sent to you so you can 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.
When the king of Israel read the letter, he ripped his clothes in panic and said, “Does this man think I'm God, having power over life and death, sending me a leper to heal? Obviously he's just trying to invent an excuse to attack me, as anyone can see!”
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.
But when Elisha, the man of God, heard that the king of Israel had ripped his clothes in panic, he sent a message to the king, saying: “What did you rip your clothes for? Please send the man to me, so he will be convinced 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 arrived with his horses and chariots and stood waiting 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.
Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan. Then your body will be healed, 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 got angry and left, saying, “I expected he would at least come out, stand there and invoke the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over where my leprosy is and heal it.
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.
Aren't the rivers of Damascus, Abanah and Pharpar, better than any of these streams of Israel? Couldn't I have washed in them and been healed?” So he turned around and went off 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?
But Naaman's officials went to him and said, “Sir, if the prophet had told you that you had to do something extraordinary, wouldn't you have done it? How much easier is it to do what he says, ‘Wash and you'll be healed’?”
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 plunged himself underwater in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him. His body was healed, his skin became like a baby's, 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 his whole entourage went back to the man of God, stood before him, and Naaman announced, “Now I'm convinced that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. Please accept a gift from me, your servant.”
16 Fa hoe re: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà ijohañako, izaho tsy handrambe. Ndra te nosihe’e handrambe, nifoneñe.
But Elisha replied, “As the Lord lives, the one I serve, I will not accept anything.” Even though Naaman tried to persuade him to take the gift, 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.
So Naaman said, “If you won't, please let me, your servant, take back with me two mule loads of earth, for I will never again bring a burnt offering or make 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.
In addition, may the Lord forgive me for doing this: When my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and I assist him, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive me for doing so.”
19 Le hoe re ama’e Akia, an-kanintsiñe. Aa ie nisitake eroa hoek’ eo,
“Go in peace,” said Elisha, and Naaman left. But he had only gone a short way
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.
when Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said to himself, “Just look how my master has let this Naaman the Syrian off the hook by not accepting the gifts he brought! As the Lord lives, I'll 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 chased after Naaman. When Naaman saw him running after him, he jumped 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's fine,” Gehazi replied. “My master sent me to tell you, ‘I've just found out that two young men have arrived to see me from the sons of the prophets who live the hill country of Ephraim. Please let them have 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 replied, “Please, take two talents.” He insisted that Gehazi to accept them. Then he tied up two talents of silver in two bags as well as two sets of clothing. He gave them to two of his servants, who carried them for 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 arrived at the hill fortress, he took the gifts from the servants and put them in the house. He told the men they could go, and they left.
25 Le hoe t’i Elisà ama’e. Hirik’ aia v’iheo Gekazý? Le hoe re: Tsy nimb’ aia o mpitoro’oo.
When Gehazi got back and attended his master, Elisha asked him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” “Your servant hasn't been 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 told him, “Didn't I see you in my mind's eye when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to take money and clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants?
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.
Consequently Naaman's leprosy will stick to you and your descendants forever!” As Gehazi left him, he had leprosy—he looked as white as snow.
