2 Mootota 5

1 Naʼamaan ajajaa loltoota mooticha Sooriyaa ture. Sababii Waaqayyo karaa isaatiin warra Sooriyaatiif mooʼicha kenneef inni fuula gooftaa isaa duratti nama guddaa akka malee ulfina qabu ture. Inni loltuu jagna; garuu lamxii qaba ture.

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 Bara sana keessa tuunni loltoota Sooriyaa dhaqee intala dargaggeettii gosa Israaʼel tokko boojiʼe; isheenis niitii Naʼamaan tajaajilaa turte.

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 Isheenis giiftii isheetiin, “Gooftaan koo utuu raajicha Samaariyaa jiru sana bira dhaqee silaa inni lamxii sana irraa isa fayyisa ture!” jette.

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 Naʼamaan dhaqee waan intalli Israaʼel jetteen sana gooftaa isaatti ni hime.

And she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid from the land of Israel.

5 Mootiin Sooriyaas, “Waan fedhe illee taanaan ati dhaqi; ani mootii Israaʼelitti xalayaa nan barreessaatii” jedhee deebiseef. Kanaafuu Naʼamaan meetii taalaantii kudhan, warqee saqilii kuma jaʼaa fi uffata irraa jalaa kudhan fudhatee qajeele.

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 Xalayaan inni mootii Israaʼelitti geesse sun akkana jedha; “Ani akka ati lamxii irraa isa fayyiftuuf xalayaa kana wajjin tajaajilaa koo Naʼamaanin sitti ergeera.”

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 Mootiin Israaʼelis akkuma xalayaa sana dubbiseen uffata ofii tarsaasee akkana jedhe; “Ani Waaqaa? Ani nama ajjeesuu fi deebisee jiraachisuu nan dandaʼaa? Namichi kun maaliif akka lamxiin isaa fayyuuf nama natti erga? Mee akka inni lola natti kaasuu barbaadu ilaalaa!”

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 Elsaaʼi namni Waaqaa sun akka mootiin Israaʼel uffata isaa tarsaase dhageenyaan ergaa itti ergee, “Ati maaliif uffata kee tarsaafte? Namicha sana natti ergi; innis akka Israaʼel keessa raajiin jiru ni beekaatii” jedheen.

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 Kanaafuu Naʼamaan fardeen isaatii fi gaariiwwan isaa fudhatee dhaqee balbala mana Elsaaʼi dura dhaabate.

So Naiman came with horse and chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisaie.

10 Elsaaʼi immoo, “Dhaqii Yordaanos keessatti yeroo torba dhiqadhu; foon kee fayyee akka duraatti siif deebiʼa; atis ni qulqullooftaa” jedhee nama itti erge.

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 Naʼamaan garuu aariidhaan kaʼee biraa deemee akkana jedhe; “Ani waan inni dhugumaan gara koo dhufee dhaabatee maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa waamee iddoo sana irra harka isaa qabee lamxii koo fayyisun seʼe.

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 Abaanaa fi Faarfaan lageen Damaasqoo sun bishaanota Israaʼel keessaa kam iyyuu hin caalanii? Ani isaan keessatti dhiqadhee fayyuu hin dandaʼu turee?” Kanaafuu inni akka malee aaree of irra garagalee deeme.

[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 Tajaajiltoonni Naʼamaanis gara isaa dhaqanii, “Yaa abbaa ko, ati utuu raajiin kun waan guddaa tokko hojjedhu siin jedhee ni hojjetta mitii? Yoo inni, ‘Dhiqadhuutii qulqullaaʼi’ siin jedhe immoo hammam caalchiftee hin hojjettu ree?” jedhaniin.

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 Kanaafuu inni dhaqee akkuma namni Waaqaa sun jedheenitti yeroo torba Yordaanos keessa seenee baʼe; dhagni isaas fayyee akkuma duraatti deebiʼeefii akkuma dhagna mucaa xinnaa tokkootti qulqullaaʼeef.

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 Ergasii Naʼamaanii fi tajaajiltoonni isaa hundi gara nama Waaqaa sanaatti deebiʼan. Niʼimaanis fuula isaa dura dhaabatee, “Ani akka Israaʼel keessa malee addunyaa guutuu keessa Waaqni hin jirre amma beekeera. Kanaafuu maaloo garbicha kee irraa kennaa tokko fudhadhu” jedhe.

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 Raajiin sun immoo, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa ani isa tajaajiluu sanaa, ani waan tokko illee sirraa hin fudhadhu” jedhee deebise. Yoo Naʼamaan cimsee isa kadhate iyyuu inni fudhachuu dide.

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 Kana irratti Naʼamaan akkana jedheen; “Yoo fudhachuu baatte immoo, maaloo akka biyyoon gaangoo lamaa ana garbicha keetiif kennamu ajaji; garbichi kee siʼachi deebiʼee Waaqayyoof malee waaqota tolfamoo biraatiif aarsaa gubamuu fi qalma hin dhiʼeessuutii.

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 Garuu Waaqayyo waan tokkicha kana garbicha keetiif haa dhiisu: Gooftaan koo yommuu achitti sagaduuf mana qulqullummaa Rimoon seenutti natti irkata; anis yommuu inni sagadutti nan sagada; Waaqayyo waan kana ana garbicha keetiif haa dhiisu.”

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 Eelisaaʼis, “Nagaan deemi” jedheen. Erga Naʼamaan xinnoo achi fagaatee booddee,

And Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.

20 Gehaaz tajaajilaan Elsaaʼi nama Waaqaa sanaa akkana ofiin jedhe; “Gooftaan koo utuu kennaa inni fide sana irraa hin fudhatin Naʼamaan namicha warra Arraam kana akkasumatti gad lakkise. Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ani isa faana fiigeen waa irraa fudhadha.”

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 Kanaafuu Gehaaz dafee Niʼimaan duukaa buʼe. Naʼamaanis yommuu akka inni gara isaatti fiigaa jiru argetti isa simachuudhaaf gaarii irraa buʼee, “Wanni hundi nagumaa?” jedhee isa gaafate.

So Giezi followed after Naiman: and Naiman saw him running after him, and turned back from his chariot to meet him.

22 Gehaazis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Wanni hundinuu naguma. Gooftaan koo, ‘Kunoo ammuma waldaa raajotaa keessaa dargaggoonni lama biyya gaaraa Efreem irraa natti dhufaniiru. Maaloo meetii taalaantii tokkoo fi uffata irraa jalaa lama kenniif’ akkan siin jedhuuf na erge.”

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 Naʼamaan immoo Gehaaziin, “Akkuma fedhe illee taʼu taalaantii lama fudhadhu” jedhe. Innis akka Gehaaz waan sana fudhatuuf cimsee isa kadhate; ergasiis meetii taalaantii lama borsaa lamatti hidhee uffata irraa jalaa lama wajjin tajaajiltoota isaatti kenne. Isaanis baatanii Gehaaz dura qajeelan.

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 Gehaazis yommuu gaara bira gaʼetti waan sana hojjettoota sana harkaa fuudhee mana keessa ol kaaʼe. Namoota sanas of irraa geggeesse; isaanis kaʼanii deeman.

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 Innis ergasii dhaqee fuula gooftaa isaa Elsaaʼi dura dhaabate. Elsaaʼis, “Gehaaz, ati eessa turte?” jedhee gaafate. Gehaaz immoo, “Ani garbichi kee eessa iyyuu hin deemne” jedhee deebise.

And he went in himself and stood before his master; and Elisaie said to him,

26 Elsaaʼi garuu akkana jedheen; “Yeroo namichi sun siʼi simachuuf gaarii isaa irraa buʼe sanatti hafuurri koo si wajjin hin turree? Yeroon kun yeroo itti maallaqa yookaan wayyaa, lafa qotiisaa ejersaa, iddoo dhaabaa wayinii, bushaayee, karra loonii yookaan garboota dhiiraa fi garboota nadheenii fudhataniidhaa?

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 Lamxiin Naʼamaan sun hamma bara baraatti siʼii fi sanyii keetiitti qabatee hafa.” Innis lamxaaʼee akkuma cabbii addaatee fuula Elsaaʼi duraa baʼee deeme.

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.
