1 Njalo uNamani induna yebutho lenkosi yeSiriya wayengumuntu omkhulu phambi kwenkosi yakhe, lohloniphekayo, ngoba ngaye uJehova wayenikile iSiriya ukukhululwa. Njalo lindoda yayiliqhawe elilamandla, kodwayayingumlephero.
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 Njalo amaSiriya ayephumile ngamaviyo athumba intombazana elizweni lakoIsrayeli, eyayisima phambi komkaNamani.
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 Yasisithi enkosikazini yayo: Sengathi inkosi yami ingaba phambi komprofethi oseSamariya; khona ubezayiphilisa kubulephero 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 Wasengena watshela inkosi yakhe esithi: Intombazana evela elizweni lakoIsrayeli itsho ukuthi lokuthi.
Enti, Naaman kaa asɛm a abaawa a ɔfiri Israel no ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ ɔhene.
5 Inkosi yeSiriya yasisithi: Suka, uhambe, ngizathumela incwadi enkosini yakoIsrayeli. Wasehamba wathatha esandleni sakhe amathalenta esiliva alitshumi lenhlamvu zegolide ezizinkulungwane eziyisithupha lezigqoko zokuntshintsha ezilitshumi.
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 Waseletha incwadi enkosini yakoIsrayeli isithi: Khathesi-ke, lapho le incwadi isifikile kuwe, khangela, ngithume kuwe uNamani inceku yami ukuze umphilise kubulephero 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 Kwasekusithi inkosi yakoIsrayeli isiyibalile leyoncwadi yadabula izigqoko zayo yathi: NginguNkulunkulu yini ukuthi ngibulale loba ngiphilise, ukuthi lo athumele kimi ukuthi ngiphilise umuntu kubulephero bakhe? Ngakho-ke, ake linanzelele libone ukuthi udinga ithuba lokumelana 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 Kwasekusithi lapho uElisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu esizwa ukuthi inkosi yakoIsrayeli idabule izigqoko zayo, wathumela enkosini esithi: Udabuleleni izigqoko zakho? Akeze kimi ukuze azi ukuthi kukhona umprofethi koIsrayeli.
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 weza lamabhiza akhe lenqola yakhe, wema emnyango wendlu kaElisha.
Enti, Naaman faa nʼapɔnkɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam, kɔtwɛn wɔ Elisa fie ɛpono ano.
10 UElisha wasethuma isithunywa kuye esithi: Hamba uyegeza kasikhombisa eJordani, inyama yakho izabuyela kuwe, 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 wathukuthela, wahamba, wathi: Khangela, bengisithi uzaphuma sibili eze kimi, eme, abize ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe, ahambahambise isandla sakhe phezu kwendawo, aphilise umlephero.
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 IAbana leFaripari imifula yeDamaseko kayingcono yini kulawo wonke amanzi akoIsrayeli? Bengingegeze kiyo ngihlambuluke yini? Wasetshibilika wahamba ngolaka oluvuthayo.
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 Kodwa inceku zakhe zasondela zakhuluma laye zathi: Baba, aluba umprofethi ubekhulume lawe ulutho olukhulu, ubungayikulwenza yini? Pho, kakhulu kangakanani uba ethe kuwe: 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 Wasesehla, wazigxamuza eJordani kasikhombisa njengokwelizwi lomuntu kaNkulunkulu, lenyama yakhe yabuyela yafanana lenyama yomntwana omncinyane, wahlambuluka-ke.
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 Wasebuyela kumuntu kaNkulunkulu, yena lalo lonke ixuku lakhe, wafika wema phambi kwakhe, wathi: Khangela sengisazi ukuthi kakulaNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke, ngaphandle kwakoIsrayeli; khathesi-ke ake wemukele isipho encekwini 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 Kodwa wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova engimi phambi kwakhe, kangiyikuthatha lutho. Wasemncenga ukuthi athathe, kodwa 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: Uba kungenjalo, akunikwe inceku yakho umthwalo wembongolo ezimbili wenhlabathi. Ngoba inceku yakho kayisayikwenza umnikelo wokutshiswa lomhlatshelo kwabanye onkulunkulu, kodwa eNkosini.
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 Kulinto iNkosi kayithethelele inceku yakho: Nxa inkosi yami ingena endlini kaRimoni ukukhonza lapho, yeyame esandleni sami, lami ngikhonze endlini kaRimoni, lapho ngikhonza endlini kaRimoni, iNkosi ake ithethelele inceku yakho kulinto.
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 Wasesithi kuye: Hamba ngokuthula. Wasesuka kuye ummango omfitshane.
Elisa kaa sɛ, “Kɔ asomdwoeɛ mu.” Enti, Naaman sane sii ɛkwan so.
20 Kodwa uGehazi inceku kaElisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi: Khangela, inkosi yami imyekele uNamani umSiriya lo ngokungemukeli esandleni sakhe lokho akulethileyo. Kuphila kukaJehova, ngizagijima ngimlandele, ngithathe kuye okuthile.
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 UGehazi wasegijima wamlandela uNamani. Kwathi uNamani ebona ogijimayo emva kwakhe, wehla enqoleni ukuze amhlangabeze, wathi: Kulungile yini?
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 Wasesithi: Kulungile. Inkosi yami ingithumile, isithi: Khangela, ngitsho khathesi kufikile kimi amajaha amabili evela entabeni yakoEfrayimi awamadodana abaprofethi; ake uwanike ithalenta lesiliva lezigqoko ezimbili zokuntshintsha.
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 wasesithi: Vuma, uthathe amathalenta amabili. Wasemcindezela, wabophela amathalenta amabili emigodleni emibili, lezembatho zokuntshintsha ezimbili, wakunika ababili benceku zakhe, bakuthwala phambi kwakhe.
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 Esefike oqaqeni, wakuthatha esandleni sazo, wakubeka endlini; waseyekela amadoda ahamba, asesuka.
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 Yena wasengena wema phambi kwenkosi yakhe; uElisha wasesithi kuye: Uvela ngaphi, Gehazi? Wasesithi: Inceku yakho ibingayanga le lale.
Ɛberɛ a ɔkɔɔ ne wura Elisa nkyɛn no, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Gehasi, wokɔɔ he?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Menkɔɔ baabiara.”
26 Wasesithi kuye: Inhliziyo yami ayihambanga yini lapho lowomuntu etshibilika enqoleni yakhe ukukuhlangabeza? Kuyisikhathi sokwemukela imali yini, lokwemukela izigqoko, lezivande zemihlwathi, lezivini, lezimvu, lezinkabi, lezinceku, lezincekukazi?
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 Ngakho ubulephero bukaNamani buzanamathela kuwe lenzalweni yakho kuze kube nininini. Wasephuma ebukhoneni bakhe engumlephero emhlophe njengeliqhwa elikhithikileyo.
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.
