2 Reis 5
1 E Naaman, chefe do exército do rei da Síria, era um grande homem diante do seu senhor, e de muito respeito; porque por ele o Senhor dera livremente aos siros: e era este varão homem valoroso, porém leproso.
Naaman, the leader of the military of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man with his lord. For through him the Lord gave salvation to Syria. And he was a strong and rich man, but a leper.
2 E sairam tropas da Síria, da terra de Israel e, levaram presa uma menina que ficou ao serviço da mulher de Naaman.
Now robbers had gone out from Syria, and they had led away captive, from the land of Israel, a little girl. And she was in the service of the wife of Naaman.
3 E disse esta à sua senhora: Oxalá que o meu senhor estivesse diante do profeta que está em Samaria: ele o restauraria da sua lepra.
And she said to her lady: “I wish that my lord had been with the prophet who is in Samaria. Certainly, he would have cured him of the leprosy that he has.”
4 Então entrou Naaman e o notificou a seu senhor, dizendo: Assim e assim falou a menina que é da terra de Israel.
And so, Naaman entered to his lord, and he reported to him, saying: “The girl from the land of Israel spoke in such a manner.”
5 Então disse o rei da Síria: vai, anda, e enviarei a carta ao rei de Israel. E foi, e tomou na sua mão dez talentos de prata, e seis mil siclos de ouro e dez mudas de vestidos.
And the king of Syria said to him, “Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” And when he had set out, he had taken with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand gold coins, and ten changes of fine clothing.
6 E levou a carta ao rei de Israel, dizendo: Logo, em chegando a ti esta carta, saibas que eu te enviei Naaman, meu servo, para que o restaures da sua lepra.
And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: “When you will receive this letter, know that I have sent to you my servant, Naaman, so that you may heal him of his leprosy.”
7 E sucedeu que, lendo o rei de Israel a carta, rasgou os seus vestidos, e disse: Sou eu Deus, para matar e para vivificar, para que este envie a mim, para eu restaurar a um homem da sua lepra? Pelo que deveras notai, peço-vos, e vede que busca ocasião contra mim.
And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his garments, and he said: “Am I God, so that I could take or give life, or so that this man would send to me to cure a man from his leprosy? Take notice and see that he is seeking occasions against me.”
8 Sucedeu porém que, ouvindo Eliseo, homem de Deus, que o rei de Israel rasgara os seus vestidos, mandou dizer ao rei: Porque rasgaste os teus vestidos? deixa-o vir a mim, e saberá que há profeta em Israel.
And when Elisha, the man of God, had heard this, specifically, that the king of Israel had torn his garments, he sent to him, saying: “Why have you torn your garments? Let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
9 Veio pois Naaman com os seus cavalos, e com o seu carro, e parou à porta da casa de Eliseo.
Therefore, Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots, and he stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 Então Eliseo lhe mandou um mensageiro, dizendo: vai, e lava-te sete vezes no Jordão, e a tua carne te tornará, e ficarás purificado.
And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will receive health, and you will be clean.”
11 Porém Naaman muito se indignou, e se foi dizendo: Eis que eu dizia comigo: Certamente ele sairá, pôr-se-á em pé, e invocará o nome do Senhor seu Deus, e passará a sua mão sobre o lugar, e restaurará o leproso
And becoming angry, Naaman went away, saying: “I thought that he would have come out to me, and, standing, would have invoked the name of the Lord, his God, and that he would have touched the place of the leprosy with his hand, and so have healed me.
12 Não são porventura Abana e Farfar, rios de Damasco, melhores do que todas as águas de Israel? Não me poderia eu lavar neles, e ficar purificado? E voltou-se, e se foi com indignação.
Are not the Abana and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, so that I might wash in them and be cleansed?” But then, after he had turned himself away and was leaving with indignation,
13 Então chegaram-se a ele os seus servos, e lhe falaram, e disseram: Meu pai, se o profeta te dissera alguma grande coisa, porventura não a farias? Quanto mais, dizendo-te ele: Lava-te, e ficarás purificado.
his servants approached him, and they said to him: “If the prophet had told you, father, to do something great, certainly you ought to have done it. How much more so, now that he has said to you: ‘Wash, and you will be clean?’”
14 Então desceu, e mergulhou no Jordão sete vezes, conforme a palavra do homem de Deus: e a sua carne tornou, como a carne dum menino, e ficou purificado.
So he descended and washed in the Jordan seven times, in accord with the word of the man of God. And his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child. And he was made clean.
15 Então voltou ao homem de Deus, ele e toda a sua comitiva, e veio, e pôs-se diante dele, e disse: Eis que tenho conhecido que em toda a terra não há Deus senão em Israel: agora pois te peço que tomes uma benção do teu servo
And returning to the man of God, with his entire retinue, he arrived, and stood before him, and he said: “Truly, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, except in Israel. And so I beg you to accept a blessing from your servant.”
16 Porém ele disse: Vive o Senhor, em cuja presença estou, que a não tomarei. E instou com ele para que a tomasse, mas ele recusou.
But he responded, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not accept it.” And though he urged him strongly, he did not agree at all.
17 E disse Naaman: Quando não, contudo dê-se a este teu servo uma carga de terra dum jugo de mulas; porque nunca mais oferecerá este teu servo holocausto nem sacrifício a outros deuses, senão ao Senhor.
And Naaman said: “As you wish. But I beg you to grant to me, your servant, that I may take from here the burden of two mules from the ground. For your servant will no longer offer holocaust or victim to other gods, except to the Lord.
18 Nisto perdoe o Senhor a teu servo: quando meu senhor entra na casa de Rimmon para ali se encurvar, e ele se encosta na minha mão, e eu também me hei de encurvar na casa de Rimmon; quando assim me encurvar na casa de Rimmon, nisto perdoe o Senhor a teu servo.
But there is still this matter, for which you will entreat the Lord on behalf of your servant: when my lord enters the temple of Rimmon, so that he may adore there, and he leans on my hand, if I will bow down in the temple of Rimmon, while he is adoring in the same place, that the Lord may ignore me, your servant, concerning this matter.”
19 E ele lhe disse: vai em paz. E foi-se dele a uma pequena distância.
And he said to him, “Go in peace.” Then he went away from him, in the elect time of the earth.
20 Então Geazi, moço d'Eliseo, homem de Deus, disse: Eis que meu senhor impediu a este syrio Naaman que da sua mão se desse alguma coisa do que trazia; porém, vive o Senhor que hei de correr atráz dele, e tomar dele alguma coisa.
And Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, said: “My lord has spared Naaman, this Syrian, by not receiving from him what he brought. As the Lord lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”
21 E foi Geazi em alcance de Naaman; e Naaman, vendo que corria atráz dele, saltou do carro a encontra-lo, e disse-lhe: vai tudo bem?
And so, Gehazi followed after the back of Naaman. And when he had seen him running toward him, he leaped down from his chariot to meet him, and he said, “Is all well?”
22 E ele disse: Tudo vai bem; meu senhor me mandou dizer: Eis que agora mesmo vieram a mim dois mancebos dos filhos dos profetas da montanha de Ephraim; dá-lhes pois um talento de prata e duas mudas de vestidos.
And he said: “It is well. My lord has sent me to you, saying: ‘Just now two youths from the sons of the prophets have come to me from mount Ephraim. Give them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing.’”
23 E disse Naaman: Sê servido tomar dois talentos. E instou com ele, e amarrou dois talentos de prata em dois sacos, com duas mudas de vestidos; e pô-los sobre dois dos seus moços, os quais os levaram diante dele.
And Naaman said, “It is better that you accept two talents.” And he urged him, and he bound the two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing. And he set them upon two of his servants, who carried them before him.
24 E, chegando ele à altura, tomou-os das suas mãos, e os depositou na casa: e despediu aqueles homens, e foram-se.
And when now he had arrived in the evening, he took them from their hands, and he stored them in the house. And he dismissed the men, and they went away.
25 Então ele entrou, e pôs-se diante de seu senhor. E disse-lhe Eliseo: de onde vens, Geazi? E disse: Teu servo não foi nem a uma nem a outra parte.
Then, having entered, he stood before his lord. And Elisha said, “Where are you coming from, Gehazi?” He responded, “Your servant did not go anywhere.”
26 Porém ele lhe disse: Porventura não foi contigo o meu coração, quando aquele homem voltou de sobre o seu carro, a encontrar-te? Era isto tempo para tomares prata, e para tomares vestidos, e olivais, e vinhas, e ovelhas, e bois e servos e servas?
But he said: “Was my heart not present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? And now you have received money, and you have received garments, so that you might buy olive groves, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men and women servants.
27 Portanto a lepra de Naaman se pegará a ti e à tua semente para sempre. Então saiu de diante dele leproso, branco como a neve.
So then, the leprosy of Naaman shall adhere to you, and to your offspring forever.” And he departed from him a leper, as white as snow.
