< २ राजाहरू 5 >
1 अरामका राजाका सेनापति नामान आफ्ना मालिकको दृष्टिमा महान् र इज्जतदार मानिस थिए किनकि तिनीद्वारा परमप्रभुले अरामलाई विजय दिनुभएको थियो । तिनी बलिया र साहसी मानिस पनि थिए, तर तिनी कुष्ठरोगी थिए ।
Now Naiman, the captain of the host of Syria, was a great man before his master, and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria, and the man was mighty in strength, [but] a leper.
2 अरामीहरू दलहरूमा मिलेर हमला गर्न गएका थिए, र तिनीहरूले इस्राएल देशबाट एउटी सानी केटीलाई ल्याएका थिए । त्यसले नामानकी पत्नीको सेवा गर्थी ।
And the Syrians went forth in small bands, and took captive out of the land of Israel a little maid: and she waited on Naiman's wife.
3 केटीले आफ्नी मालिक्नीलाई भनी, “मेरा मालिक सामरियामा भएका अगमवक्ताको साथमा भएको भए हुन्थ्यो! तब उहाँले मेरा मालिकलाई कुष्ठरोगबाट निको पार्नुहुन्थ्यो ।”
And she said to her mistress, O that my lord were before the prophet of God in Samaria; then he would recover him from his leprosy.
4 त्यसैले नामान भित्र प्रवेश गरे, र इस्राएल देशबाट ल्याइएकी त्यो केटीले के भनेकी थई त्यो राजालाई भने ।
And she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid from the land of Israel.
5 त्यसैले अरामका राजाले भने, “अब जाऊ, र म इस्राएलका राजालाई एउटा चिठी पठाउनेछु ।” नामान गए र तिन सय चालिस किलो चाँदी, सत्तरी किलो सुन र दस जोर लुगा तिनले आफूसितै लगे ।
And the king of Syria said to Naiman, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
6 तिनले इस्राएलका राजाको निम्ति चिठी पनि लिएर गए जसमा लेखिएको थियो, “जब यो चिठी तपाईंकहाँ ल्याइन्छ मैले तपाईंकहाँ आफ्नो सेवकलाई पठाएको तपाईंले देख्नुहुनेछ, ताकि तपाईंले तिनको कुष्ठरोगबाट तिनलाई निको पारिदिनुहोस् ।”
And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now then, as soon as this letter shall reach you, behold, I have sent to you my servant Naiman, and you shall recover him from his leprosy.
7 जब इस्राएलका राजाले चिठी पढेका थिए, तब तिनले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते र भने, “आफैमा कुष्ठरोग भएको मानिसलाई मैले निको पारोस् भनी यो मानिसले इच्छा गर्नलाई मार्न र जिउँदो पार्न के म परमेश्वर हुँ र? उसले मसित झगडाको निहुँ खोजेको जस्तो पो लाग्दैछ ।”
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, [that] he tore his garments, and said, [Am] I God, to kill and to make alive, that this [man] sends to me to recover a man of his leprosy? consider, however, I pray you, and see that this [man] seeks an occasion against me.
8 त्यसैले इस्राएलका राजालले आफ्ना लुगा च्याते भनी जब परमेश्वरका मानिस एलीशाले सुने, तब तिनले राजालाई यसो भनी समाचार पठाए, “किन तपाईंले आफ्नो लुगा च्यात्नुभएको? अब ऊ मकहाँ आओस्, र इस्राएलमा अगमवक्ता रहेछन् भनी उसले थाहा पाउनेछ ।”
And it came to pass, when Elisaie heard that the king of Israel had tore his garments, that he sent to the king of Israel, saying, Therefore have you tore your garments? Let Naiman, I pray you, come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.
9 त्यसैले नामान आफ्ना घोडाहरू र रथहरू लिएर आए र एलीशाको घरको ढोकामा उभिए ।
So Naiman came with horse and chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisaie.
10 एलीशाले तिनीकहाँ यसो भनेर एक जना सन्देशवाहक पठाए, “जानुहोस् र यर्दनमा आफूलाई सातपल्ट डुबुल्की लगाउनुहोस् र तपाईंको देह पहिलेको जस्तै हुनेछ । तपाईं शुद्ध बन्नुहुनेछ ।”
And Elisaie sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash seven times in Jordan, and your flesh shall return to you, and you shall be cleansed.
11 तर नामान रिसाए र यसो भन्दै गए, “हेर, निश्चय नै तिनी मकहाँ बाहिर आउँनेछन् र खडा हुनेछन् अनि तिनले आफ्ना परमप्रभु परमेश्वरको नाउँ पुकार्नेछन् र मेरो कुष्ठरोगमाथि आफ्ना हात हल्लाउँनेछन् र मेरो कुष्टरोग निको पार्नेछन् भनी मैले सोचेको थिएँ ।
And Naiman was angry, and departed, and said, Behold, I said, He will by all means come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of his God, and lay his hand upon the place, and recover the leper.
12 के दमस्कसका अबाना र फारपर नदीहरू इस्राएलका सबै पानीभन्दा असल छैनन् र? के म तिनमा नुहाएर शुद्ध हुन सक्दिनँ र?” त्यसैले तिनी फर्के र क्रुद्ध हुँदै आफ्नो बाटो लागे ।
[Are] not the Abana and Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not go and wash in them, and be cleansed? and he turned and went away in a rage.
13 तब नामानका सेवकहरू नजिक आए, र तिनलाई भने, “हे मेरा पिता, अगमवक्ताले तपाईंलाई कुनै कठिन कुरो गर्न लगाएको भए के तपाईंले त्यो गर्नुहुने थिएन र? त्यसको बदलामा 'आफैलाई डुबुल्की लगाउन र शुद्ध हुन' भन्दा झन् किन नगर्ने त?”
And his servants came near and said to him, [Suppose] the prophet had spoken a great thing to you, would you not perform it? yet he has but said to you, Wash, and be cleansed.
14 तब तिनी तल गए र परमेश्वरका मानिसको सल्लाह मानेर यर्दमा आफैलाई सात पल्ट डुबुल्की लगाए । तिनको देह बच्चाको झैँ पहिलेजस्तै भयो र तिनी निको भए ।
So Naiman went down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the word of Elisaie: and his flesh returned to him as the flesh of a little child, and he was cleansed.
15 नामान र तिनको दल परमेश्वरका मानिसकहाँ फर्केर आए र तिनको सामु खडा भए । तिनले भने, “हेर्नुहोस्, सारा पृथ्वीमा इस्राएलमा बाहेक अन्त कतै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्न रहेछ भनी अब मलाई थाहा भयो । त्यसकारण तपाईंको दासबाट उपहार ग्रहण गर्नुहोस् ।”
And he and all his company returned to Elisaie, and he came and stood before him, and said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth, save only in Israel: and now receive a blessing of your servant.
16 तर एलीशाले जावाफ दिए, “परमप्रभु जसको सामु म खडा हुन्छु, उहाँको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर भन्छु, म केही लिने छैनँ ।” नामानले एलीशालाई उपहार लिन बिन्ती गरे तर तिनले इन्कार गरे ।
And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not take [one]. And he pressed him to take [one]: but he would not.
17 त्यसैले नामानले भने, “तपाईं लिनुहुन्न भने तपाईंका दासलाई दुईवटा खच्चरले बोक्न सक्ने माटो लान दिनुहोस् । किनकि अबदेखि तपाईंका दासले परमप्रभुबाहेक अन्य कुनै ईश्वरलाई न त होमबलि न बलिदान चढाउनेछ ।
And Naiman said, Well then, if not, let there be given to your servant, I pray you, the load [of a] yoke of mules; and you shall give me of the red earth: for henceforth your servant will not offer whole burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but only to the Lord by [reason of] this thing.
18 यो एउटा कुरामा परमप्रभुले तपाईंको दासलाई क्षमा गरून्, त्यो हो, जब मेरा राजा रिम्मोनको मन्दिरमा पुजा गर्न जान्छन् अनि मेरो हातमा भर पर्छन्, अनि रिम्मोनको मन्दिरमा म पनि निहुरिन्छु, तब यस विषयमा परमप्रभुले हजुरको दासलाई क्षमा गरून् ।”
And let the Lord be propitious to your servant when my master goes into the house of Remman to worship there, and he shall lean on my hand, and I shall bow down in the house of Remman when he bows down in the house of Remman; even let the Lord, I pray, be merciful to your servant in this matter.
19 एलीशाले तिनलाई भने, “शान्तिसित जाऊ ।” यसरी नामान फर्केर गए ।
And Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.
20 तिनी अलि पर मात्र पुगेका थिए, परमेश्वरका मानिस एलीशाको सेवक गेहजीले आफ्नो मनमा भन्यो, “मेरा मालिकले यी अरामी नामानको हातबाट तिनले ल्याएका उपहारहरू ग्रहण नगरी तिनको बचत गर्नुभएको छ । परमप्रभुको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर म भन्छु, म तिनको पछि दौडेर जानेछु, र तिनीबाट केही लिनेछु ।”
And Giezi the servant of Elisaie said, Behold, my Lord has spared this Syrian Naiman, so as not to take of his hand what he has brought: as the Lord lives, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat of him.
21 त्यसैले गेहजी नामानको पछि गयो । जब नामानले तिनको पछि कोही दौडेर आएको देखे, तब आफ्नो रथबाट त्यसलाई भेट्न तिनी ओर्ले र भने, “के सबै कुरा ठिकै छ?”
So Giezi followed after Naiman: and Naiman saw him running after him, and turned back from his chariot to meet him.
22 गेहजीले भन्यो, “सबै ठिकै कुरा छ । मेरा मालिकले मलाई यसो भनेर पठाउनुभएको छ, 'हेर, एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशबाट अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूमध्ये दुई जना युवा मकहाँ आएका छन् । कृपया, तिनीहरूलाई एक तोडा चाँदी र दुई जोर लुगा दिनुहोस् ।”
And [Giezi] said, All is well: my master has sent me, saying, Behold, now are there come to me two young men of the sons of the prophets from mount Ephraim; give them, I pray you, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.
23 नामानले भने, “म तिमीलाई दुई तोडा चाँदी दिन अत्यन्तै खुसी छु ।” नामानले गेहजीलाई जिद्दी गरे र दुईवटा थैलामा दुई तोडा चाँदी र दुई जोर लुगा राखिदिए, अनि तिनले आफ्ना दुई जना सेवक दिए जसले ती थैलाहरू बोकेर गेहजीको अगि लागे ।
And [Naiman] said, Take two talents of silver. And he took two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and put them upon two of his servants, and they bore them before him.
24 जब गेहजी डाँडामा आइपुग्यो त्यसले तिनीहरूका हातबाट चाँदीका थैलाहरू लियो र ती घरमा लुकायो । त्यसले ती मानिसहरूलाई पठायो र उनीहरू गए ।
And he came to a secret place, and took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and dismissed the men.
25 जब गेहजी भित्र गयो र आफ्ना मालिकको अघि खडा भयो, तब एलीशाले भने, “ए गेहजी, तँ कहाँबाट आएको?” त्यसले जवाफ दियो, “तपाईंको दास कतै गएन ।”
And he went in himself and stood before his master; and Elisaie said to him,
26 एलीशाले गेहजीलाई भने, “ती मानिसले तँलाई भेट्न आफ्नो रथ घुमाउँदा के मेरो आत्मा तँसितै थिएन र? के यो रुपियाँ-पैसा र लत्ता कपडा, भद्राक्षका बोटहरू र दाखबारीहरू, भेडा-बाख्रा र गाई-गोरुहरू अनि कमारा-कमारीहरू ग्रहण गर्ने समय हो र?
Whence [come you], Giezi? and Giezi said, Your servant has not been hither or there. And Elisaie said to him, Went not my heart with you, when the man returned from his chariot to meet you? and now you have received silver, and now you have received raiment, and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.
27 त्यसैले नामानको कुष्ठरोग तँ र तेरा सन्तानमाथि सधैँभरि रहनेछ ।” त्यसैले गेहजी हिउँजस्तै सेतो कुष्ठरोगी बनेर तिनको उपस्थितिबाट बाहिर गयो ।
The leprosy also of Naiman shall cleave to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, like snow.
