2 Kraljevima 5
1 I bješe Neman vojvoda cara Sirskoga èovjek velik u gospodara svojega i u èasti, jer preko njega saèuva Gospod Siriju; ali taj veliki junak bješe gubav.
Now, Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man in presence of his lord, and held in honour, because, by him, had Yahweh given deliverance to Syria, —and, the man, was a hero of valour—[but], a leper.
2 A iz Sirije izide èeta i zarobi u zemlji Izrailjskoj malu djevojku, te ona služaše ženu Nemanovu.
Now, the Syrians, had gone out in companies, and had brought back out of the land of Israel, a little maiden, —who became an attendant on the wife of Naaman.
3 I ona reèe svojoj gospoði: o da bi moj gospodar otišao k proroku u Samariji! on bi ga oprostio od gube.
And she said unto her mistress, Ah! would that my lord were before the prophet, who is in Samaria! then, would he set him free from his leprosy.
4 Tada on otide k svome gospodaru i javi mu govoreæi: tako i tako kaže djevojka iz zemlje Izrailjske.
And he went in and told his lord, saying, —Thus and thus, hath spoken the maiden who is of the land of Israel!
5 A car Sirski reèe mu: hajde idi, a ja æu poslati knjigu caru Izrailjevu. I on otide, i ponese deset talanata srebra i šest tisuæa sikala zlata i desetore stajaæe haljine.
And the king of Syria said—Go, get in, that I may send a letter unto the king of Israel. So he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
6 I odnese knjigu caru Izrailjevu, koja ovako govoraše: eto, kad ti doðe ova knjiga, znaj da šaljem k tebi Nemana slugu svojega da ga oprostiš gube.
And he brought in the letter unto the king of Israel, saying, Now, therefore, when this letter cometh in unto thee, lo! I have sent unto thee, Naaman my servant, and thou shalt set him free from his leprosy.
7 A kad car Izrailjev proèita knjigu, razdrije haljine svoje i reèe: zar sam ja Bog da mogu ubiti i povratiti život, te šalje k meni da oprostim èovjeka gube? Pazite i vidite kako traži zadjevice sa mnom.
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am, I, God, to kill and to make alive, that, this, man is sending unto me, to set one free from his leprosy, —but, of a truth, just mark, I pray you, and see, that he, is seeking an occasion, against me.
8 A kad èu Jelisije èovjek Božji da je car Izrailjev razdro haljine svoje, posla k caru i poruèi: zašto si razdro haljine svoje? neka doðe k meni, da pozna da ima prorok u Izrailju.
And it was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent unto the king, saying—Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come, I pray thee, unto me, that he may get to know that there is a prophet in Israel.
9 I tako doðe Neman s konjma i kolima svojim, i stade na vratima doma Jelisijeva.
So Naaman came, with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the entrance of the house of Elisha;
10 A Jelisije posla k njemu i poruèi: idi i okupaj se sedam puta u Jordanu, i ozdraviæe tijelo tvoje, i oèistiæeš se.
and Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, —Go and bathe seven times in the Jordan, so shall thy flesh come back to thee, and be thou clean.
11 Tada se rasrdi Neman i poðe govoreæi: gle! ja mišljah, on æe izaæi k meni, i staæe, i prizvaæe ime Gospoda Boga svojega, i metnuti ruku svoju na mjesto, i oèistiti gubu.
But Naaman was wroth, and went away, —and said—Lo! I thought, Unto me, will he, come right out, and take his stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand towards the spot, and so set free the leper.
12 Nijesu li Avana i Farfar vode u Damasku bolje od svijeh voda Izrailjskih? ne bih li se mogao u njima okupati i oèistiti? I okrenuvši se otide gnjevan.
Are not, Abanah and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not bathe, in them, and be clean? So he turned, and went away in a rage.
13 Ali sluge njegove pristupivši rekoše mu govoreæi: oèe, da ti je kazao prorok što veliko, ne bi li uèinio? a zašto ne bi kad ti reèe: okupaj se, pa æeš se oèistiti?
Then drew near his servants, and spake unto him, and said—My father! if, some great thing, the prophet had commanded thee, wouldst thou not have done it? then, how much rather, when he hath said unto thee, Bathe and be clean?
14 I tako siðe, i zaroni u Jordan sedam puta po rijeèi èovjeka Božijega, i tijelo njegovo posta kao u maloga djeteta, i oèisti se.
Then went he down, and dipped himself in the Jordan, seven times, according to the word of the man of God: and his flesh came back, as the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
15 Tada se vrati k èovjeku Božijemu sa pratnjom svojom, i došav stade pred njim, i reèe: evo sad vidim da nema Boga nigdje na zemlji do u Izrailju. Nego uzmi dar od sluge svojega.
And he returned unto the man of God, he and all his company; and came, and took his stand before him, and said—Lo! I pray thee—I know that there is no God in all the earth, save in Israel, —now, therefore, I pray thee, accept a blessing from thy servant.
16 Ali on reèe: tako da je živ Gospod, pred kojim stojim, neæu uzeti. I on navaljivaše na nj da uzme; ali on ne htje.
But he said—By the life of Yahweh, before whom I stand, I will not accept one. And, though he urged him to accept it, yet did he refuse.
17 Tada reèe Neman: kad neæeš, a ono neka se da sluzi tvojemu ove zemlje koliko mogu ponijeti dvije mazge. Jer sluga tvoj neæe više prinositi žrtava paljenica ni drugih žrtava drugim bogovima, nego Gospodu.
Then said Naaman, Shall there not, then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant, two mules’ burden of earth? For thy servant will henceforth offer neither ascending-offering nor sacrifice to other gods, save only to Yahweh.
18 A Gospod neka oprosti ovo sluzi tvojemu: kad gospodar moj uðe u dom Rimonov da se pokloni ondje, pa se prihvati za moju ruku, da se i ja poklonim u domu Rimonovu, neka oprosti Gospod sluzi tvojemu kad se tako poklonim u domu Rimonovu.
In this thing, Yahweh grant forgiveness to thy servant, —When my lord entereth the house of Rimmon, to bow down therein, he leaning upon my hand, and so I bow down in the house of Rimmon, when he boweth down in the house of Rimmon, Yahweh, I pray, grant forgiveness to thy servant, in this thing.
19 A on mu reèe: idi s mirom. I on otide od njega, i prijeðe jedno potrkalište.
And he said unto him—Go and prosper! But, when he had gone from him some distance,
20 Tada reèe Gijezije sluga Jelisija èovjeka Božijega: gle, gospodar moj ne htje primiti iz ruku toga Nemana Sirca što bješe donio. Ali tako da je živ Gospod, potrèaæu za njim i uzeæu što od njega.
Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said—Lo! my lord, hath restrained, this Naaman the Syrian, by not taking at his hand that which he brought! By the life of Yahweh, verily, I will runs after him, and accept of him, something.
21 I Gijezije otrèa za Nemanom. A kad ga vidje Neman gdje trèi za njim, skoèi s kola svojih i srete ga, pa mu reèe: je li dobro?
So Gehazi hastened after Naaman. And, when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from his chariot to meet him, and said, —Is all well?
22 A on reèe: dobro je. Gospodar moj posla me da ti kažem: evo, baš sad doðoše k meni dva mladiæa iz gore Jefremove, proroèki sinovi, daj za njih talanat srebra i dvoje stajaæe haljine.
And he said, All is well. My lord, hath sent me to say, Lo! just now, have come unto me, two young men out of the hill country of Ephraim, of the sons of the prophets, —give for them, I pray thee, a talent, of silver, and two changes of raiment.
23 A Neman reèe: uzmi i dva talanta. I natjera ga; i sveza dva talanta srebra u dva toboca, i dvoje stajaæe haljine, i dade dvojici momaka svojih, da nose pred njim.
And Naaman said, Be content, accept two talents. So he urged him, and bound up two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his young men, and they bare them before him.
24 A on kad doðe na brdo, uze iz ruku njihovijeh i ostavi u jednoj kuæi, a ljude otpusti, te otidoše.
And, when he came to the hill-tower, he took them from their hand, and put them in charge within, —and let the men go, and they departed.
25 Potom došavši stade pred gospodarom svojim. A Jelisije mu reèe: otkle Gijezije? A on reèe: nije išao sluga tvoj nikuda.
Now, when, he, came in and stood before his lord, Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, —Thy servant hath been neither hither nor thither.
26 Ali mu on reèe: zar srce moje nije išlo onamo kad se èovjek vrati s kola svojih preda te? Zar je to bilo vrijeme uzimati srebro i uzimati haljine, maslinike, vinograde, ovce, goveda, sluge i sluškinje?
Then he said unto him—My heart, had not gone with thee, when someone turned again from off his chariot, to meet thee! Is it a time to accept silver, or to accept raiment, or oliveyards, or vineyards, or flocks or herds, or men-servants, or maid-servants?
27 Zato guba Nemanova neka prione za te i za sjeme tvoje dovijeka. I otide od njega gubav, bio kao snijeg.
The leprosy of Naaman, therefore, shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed, to times age-abiding. And he went forth from before him—a leper—like snow.
