2 Amakhosi 5
1 UNamani wayengumlawuli webutho lenkosi yase-Aramu. Wayelodumo ehlonipheka emehlweni enkosi yakhe, ngoba ngaye uThixo wanika ele-Aramu ukunqoba. Wayelibutho elilesibindi, kodwa wayelobulephero.
Na Aramhene bu Naaman a ɔyɛ akodɔm sahene no yie. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnam ne so na Awurade maa Aram dii nkonim akɛseɛ bebree. Ɛwom sɛ na Naaman yɛ ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ deɛ, nanso na ɔyare kwata.
2 Amaxuku amabutho ase-Aramu ayephumile athumba intombazana yako-Israyeli, yaba yisichaka somkaNamani.
Afei, na Aram akofoɔ adi Israel asase so, na abaawa ketewa bi ka wɔn a wɔkyeree wɔn nnommum no ho. Wɔde saa abaayewa no maa Naaman yere sɛ nʼabaawa.
3 Yathi kunkosikazi yayo, “Ngabe inkosi yami ike ibonane lomphrofethi oseSamariya! Ubezayelapha ubulephero bayo.”
Ɛda bi, abaawa no ka kyerɛɛ nʼawuraa sɛ, “Sɛ me wura kɔhunu odiyifoɔ no wɔ Samaria a, anka mɛpɛ. Anka ɔbɛsa no yadeɛ ama kwata no afiri ne honam ani.”
4 UNamani wayatshela inkosi yakhe ngalokhu okwakutshiwo yintombazana yako-Israyeli.
Enti, Naaman kaa asɛm a abaawa a ɔfiri Israel no ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ ɔhene.
5 Inkosi yase-Aramu yathi, “Ye kufanele uhambe, ngizabhalela inkosi yako-Israyeli incwadi.” Ngakho uNamani wasuka ephethe amathalenta esiliva alitshumi, amashekeli egolide azinkulungwane eziyisithupha kanye lamaxha ezigqoko alitshumi.
Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ, na kɔsra odiyifoɔ no. Mɛtwerɛ krataa aka wo ho, na wode akɔma Israelhene.” Enti, Naaman hyɛɛ nʼakwantuo no ase. Ɔfaa dwetɛ akyɛdeɛ kilogram ahasa aduanan, sikakɔkɔɔ kilogram aduosia nkron ne ntadeɛ mmɔho edu.
6 Incwadi ahamba layo enkosini yako-Israyeli yayisithi: “Ngalincwadi ngikuthumela inceku yami uNamani ukuba uzomelapha ubulephero bakhe.”
Krataa a ɔde rekɔma Israelhene no mu asɛm ne sɛ, “Menam krataa yi so reda me ɔsomfoɔ Naaman adi, akyerɛ wo. Mepɛ sɛ wosa no yadeɛ ma ne kwata no firi ne honam ani.”
7 Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi iqeda ukufunda incwadi leyo, yadabula izembatho zayo yathi, “NginguNkulunkulu mina na? Ngilamandla okubulala lamandla okuphilisa na? Kungani lumuntu ethumele umuntu esithi ngimelaphe ubulephero? Angithi liyabona ukuthi udinga ukuxabana lami!”
Ɛberɛ a Israelhene kenkan krataa no, ɔde ahometeɛ sunsuanee nʼatadeɛ mu, kaa sɛ, “Saa ɔbarima yi asoma ɔkwatani aba me nkyɛn, sɛ mensa no yadeɛ! Meyɛ Onyankopɔn a metumi kum, sane ma nkwa? Ɔrepɛ ɛkwan bi afa so, anya nnyinasoɔ bi, na wabɛto ahyɛ yɛn so bio.”
8 U-Elisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu esezwe ukuthi inkosi yako-Israyeli yayisidabule izembatho zayo, wayithumela ilizwi esithi, “Kungani usudabule izembatho zakho na? Letha indoda leyo kimi ukuze yazi ukuthi kulomphrofethi ko-Israyeli.”
Ɛberɛ a Elisa, Onyankopɔn onipa, tee ɔhene no nsɛnkaeɛ no, ɔtoo nkra kɔmaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woasunsuane wo ntadeɛ mu saa? Soma Naaman na ɔmmra me nkyɛn na ɔbɛhunu sɛ, odiyifoɔ papa bi wɔ Israel.”
9 Ngakho uNamani wahamba lamabhiza akhe kanye lezinqola zokulwa wayakuma emnyango wendlu ka-Elisha.
Enti, Naaman faa nʼapɔnkɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam, kɔtwɛn wɔ Elisa fie ɛpono ano.
10 U-Elisha wathuma isithunywa ukuthi siyotshela uNamani sithi: “Hamba, uyegeza kasikhombisa emfuleni uJodani, inyama yakho izahluma njalo lawe uhlambuluke.”
Na Elisa somaa ɔbɔfoɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔhohoro wo ho mprɛnson wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu, na wo honam bɛba mu, ama wo kwata no akɔ.”
11 Kodwa uNamani wasuka ethukuthele wasesithi: “Mina benginakana ukuthi ngempela uzaphuma eze kimi ame abize ibizo likaThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe, aphakamise isandla phezu kwezilonda angelaphe ubulephero.
Na Naaman bo fuiɛ, na ɔsii ɛkwan so. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Na menim sɛ, deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara no, ɔbɛba abɛhyia me! Na menim sɛ ebia, ɔde ne nsa bɛfa kwata no so, na wabɔ Awurade a, ɔyɛ ne Onyankopɔn no din, nam so asa me yadeɛ.
12 Imifula yaseDamaseko, i-Abhana leFariphari kayingcono yini kulawo wonke amanzi ako-Israyeli na? Bengingeke ngageza kiyo ngihlambuluke na?” Ngakho wafulathela wahamba ethukuthele.
Nsubɔntene Abana ne Parpar a ɛwɔ Damasko nsene nsubɔntene a ɛwɔ Israel nyinaa? Adɛn enti na menkɔhohoro me ho wɔ mu, na mennya ayaresa?” Enti, Naaman danee ne ho de abufuo sii mu.
13 Izinceku zikaNamani zamlanda zathi kuye, “Baba, alubana umphrofethi ubekutshele ukuthi wenze into enkulu ube ungayikuyenza na? Pho, kwehlula ngaphi nxa esithi, ‘Geza uhlambuluke’!”
Nanso, ne mpanimfoɔ bɔɔ mmɔden kasa kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, sɛ odiyifoɔ no kaa sɛ yɛ adwuma kɛseɛ bi a, anka worenyɛ anaa? Ɛno enti, tie asɛm a waka sɛ kɔhohoro wo ho kɛkɛ, na wo ho bɛtɔ wo no, na di so.”
14 Yikho ukusuka kwakhe esiya khonale efika egeza kasikhombisa, njengokulaywa kwakhe ngumuntu kaNkulunkulu, inyama yakhe yahluma njalo yahlambuluka kungathi ngeyomfana omncinyane.
Enti, Naaman kɔɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu, kɔdɔɔ asukɔ mprɛnson, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Ne honam ani daa hɔ te sɛ abɔfra, maa ne kwata no nyinaa kɔeɛ.
15 Ngakho uNamani kanye lezinceku zakhe babuyela kumphrofethi uNkulunkulu. Wafika wema phambi kwakhe wathi, “Ngiyakwazi ukuthi akulankulunkulu emhlabeni wonke ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli. Ngoxolo ngicela wamukele lesisipho senceku yakho.”
Naaman ne ne dɔm no sane kɔeɛ, kɔhwehwɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no akyiri kwan. Wɔkɔgyinaa nʼanim, maa Naaman kaa sɛ, “Afei na mahunu sɛ Onyankopɔn nni ewiase ha baabiara sɛ Israel nko ara. Afei, mesrɛ wo sɛ, gye mʼakyɛdeɛ yi.”
16 Umphrofethi wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengokuba uThixo engimkhonzayo ephila, angiyikwamukela lutho.” Kwathi lanxa uNamani emncenga wala.
Nanso, Elisa buaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade a mesom no te ase yi, merennye akyɛdeɛ biara.” Ɛwom sɛ Naaman hyɛɛ no biara sɛ ɔnnye akyɛdeɛ no, nanso Elisa annye.
17 UNamani wasesithi, “Nxa ungasoze ukwamukele ngiyacela, mina nceku yakho, ukuba ngithole umhlabathi walapha ongalingana ukuthwalwa zimbongolo ezimbili, ngoba mina nceku angisayikunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo lakuwuphi unkulunkulu kodwa kuThixo.
Afei, Naaman kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, ɛnneɛ, ma me ɛkwan na memfa ɛha dɔteɛ atifi mmienu nsoa me mfunumpɔnkɔ mmienu, na memfa nka me ho nkɔ me kurom. Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, Awurade akyi no, meremmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔdeɛ biara mma onyame bi bio.
18 Kodwa inceku yakho icela ukuba uThixo ayixolele kulokhu kuphela: Nxa inkosi yami ingena ethempelini likaRimoni ukuze iyemkhothamela ibambelele engalweni yami lami ngikhothame kanye layo, nxa ngikhothama ethempelini likaRimoni, ngiyacela ukuba uThixo angixolele kulokho.”
Na mesrɛ sɛ, Awurade mfa saa bɔne yi nkyɛ me. Sɛ me wura ɔhene rekɔ Rimon abosomfie akɔsom, na mesosɔ ne mu a, me nso mɛkoto enti, Awurade mfa nkyɛ me.”
19 U-Elisha wathi, “Hamba ngokuthula.” UNamani uthe esehambe okomango othile,
Elisa kaa sɛ, “Kɔ asomdwoeɛ mu.” Enti, Naaman sane sii ɛkwan so.
20 uGehazi, isisebenzi sika-Elisha inceku kaNkulunkulu, wazitshela ukuthi, “Inkosi yami imyekele uNamani wase-Aramu, wahamba ingasamukelanga isipho sakhe. Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ephila ngizamgijimela ngiyezuza ulutho kuye.”
Nanso, Elisa ɔsomfoɔ Gehasi kaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ me wura ma Aramni yi kɔ a wannye akyɛdeɛ yi. Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase yi, mɛti no, na makɔgye biribi afiri ne nkyɛn.”
21 Ngakho uGehazi wahaluzela wamxhuma uNamani. Kwathi uNamani embona esiza egijima, wehla enqoleni yakhe wamhlangabeza, wambuza wathi, “Kulungile konke na?”
Enti, Gehasi tii no. Ɛberɛ a Naaman hunuu no sɛ ɔde mmirika reba ne so no, ɔsi firii ne teaseɛnam mu kɔhyiaa no. Naaman bisaa no sɛ, “Wobaa no asomdwoeɛ mu anaa?”
22 UGehazi wathi, “Yebo, konke kulungile. Inkosi yami ingithumile ukuba ngithi, ‘Sekufike amajaha amabili exuku labaphrofethi bevela elizweni lezintaba elako-Efrayimi, icela ukuba uwanike ithalenta lesiliva elilodwa lezigqoko ezimbili.’”
Gehasi buaa sɛ, “Aane, nanso me wura asoma me sɛ memmɛka nkyerɛ wo sɛ, mmabunu baanu bi a wɔyɛ adiyifoɔ a wɔfiri Efraim kuro a ɛda bepɔ so no mu abɛduru seesei ara. Ɔse ɔrepɛ dwetɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan ne ntadeɛ nsakyeramu mmienu de ama wɔn.”
23 UNamani wathi, “Ngokujabula, ngithi thatha amathalenta amabili.” Wamkhuthaza uGehazi ukuba awamukele, wasebophela amathalenta esiliva amabili emigodleni emibili, lamaxha amabili ezigqoko. Wawaqhubela izisebenzi ezimbili, zawathwala zahamba kuqala phambi kukaGehazi.
Naaman kaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ asɛm a ɛyɛ den, gye dwetɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan yi.” Ɔmaa no ntadeɛ nsakyeramu mmienu, kyekyeree sika no wɔ nkotokuo mmienu mu, yii asomfoɔ baanu soaa akyɛdeɛ no, maa Gehasi.
24 Esefikile eqaqeni uGehazi, wathatha impahla kulezozisebenzi wayazibeka endlini. Wathi kababuyele, lakanye basuka.
Nanso, wɔduruu bepɔ no so no, Gehasi gyee akyɛdeɛ no firii asomfoɔ no nkyɛn, ma wɔsane wɔn akyi kɔeɛ. Afei, ɔde akyɛdeɛ no kɔsiee efie no mu.
25 Wasengena wafika wema phambi kwenkosi yakhe u-Elisha. U-Elisha wambuza wathi, “Ube ungaphi Gehazi?” UGehazi waphendula wathi, “Inceku yakho ayizange iye ndawo.”
Ɛberɛ a ɔkɔɔ ne wura Elisa nkyɛn no, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Gehasi, wokɔɔ he?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Menkɔɔ baabiara.”
26 Kodwa u-Elisha wathi kuye, “Umoya wami ubungekanye lawe na lapho lowomuntu ephenduka enqoleni ekuhlangabeza? Yisikhathi sokwamukela imali lesi na, kumbe esokwamukela izigqoko, lezivande zama-oliva, lamavini lemihlambi yezimvu, leyenkomo, kumbe eyezinceku zesilisa lesifazane?
Nanso, Elisa bisaa no sɛ, “Woanhunu sɛ ɛberɛ a Naaman si firii ne teaseɛnam mu bɛhyiaa wo no, na mewɔ hɔ honhom mu? Saa ɛberɛ yi na ɛsɛ sɛ wogye sika ne ntadeɛ ne ngo dua mfuo ne bobe mfuo ne nnwan ne anantwie ne asomfoɔ?
27 Ubulephero bukaNamani buzanamathela kuwe lasenzalweni yakho kuze kube laphakade.” UGehazi wasuka phambi kuka-Elisha eselobulephero esemhlophe njengongqwaqwane.
Deɛ woayɛ yi enti, wo ne wo mma ne wo mma mma bɛyare Naaman kwata no bi afebɔɔ.” Ɛberɛ a Gehasi firii dan no mu no, na kwata ayɛ no a ne ho ahoa ayɛ sɛ sukyerɛmma.
