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, commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great and honorable man in his master's view, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Aram. He was also a strong, courageous man, but he was a leper.
2 A iz Sirije izide èeta i zarobi u zemlji Izrailjskoj malu djevojku, te ona služaše ženu Nemanovu.
The Arameans had gone out raiding in bands and had taken a little girl from the land of Israel. She served Naaman's wife.
3 I ona reèe svojoj gospoði: o da bi moj gospodar otišao k proroku u Samariji! on bi ga oprostio od gube.
The girl said to her mistress, “I wish that my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal my master of his leprosy.”
4 Tada on otide k svome gospodaru i javi mu govoreæi: tako i tako kaže djevojka iz zemlje Izrailjske.
So Naaman went in and told the king what the little girl from the land of Israel had said.
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.
So the king of Aram said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” Naaman left and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothes.
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.
He also took the letter to the king of Israel that said, “Now when this letter is brought to you, you will see that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, so that you may cure him of 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.
When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man wants me to cure a man of his leprosy? It seems he is seeking to start an argument with 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.
So when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent word to the king saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he will 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 chariots and stood at the door of Elisha's house.
10 A Jelisije posla k njemu i poruèi: idi i okupaj se sedam puta u Jordanu, i ozdraviæe tijelo tvoje, i oèistiæeš se.
Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and dip yourself into the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored; you will be 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 angry and went away and said, “Look, I thought he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place and heal my leprosy.
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, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Can 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 Naaman's servants came near and spoke to him, “My father, if the prophet had commanded you do some difficult thing, would you not have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you to simply, 'Dip yourself 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 he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, obeying the instructions of the man of God. His flesh was restored again like the flesh of a little child, and he was healed.
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.
Naaman returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him. He said, “Look, now I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. So therefore, please take a gift from your 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 Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” Naaman urged Elisha to take a gift, but he refused.
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.
So Naaman said, “If not, then I ask you to let there be given to your servant two mule loads of earth, for from now on, your servant will offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to any god but 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 one thing may Yahweh pardon your servant, that is, when my king goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may Yahweh pardon your servant in this matter.”
19 A on mu reèe: idi s mirom. I on otide od njega, i prijeðe jedno potrkalište.
Elisha said to him, “Go in peace.” So Naaman left.
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.
He had traveled only a short distance, when Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God said to himself, “Look, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean by not receiving from his hands gifts that he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him and receive something from him.”
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 followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he jumped down from his chariot to meet him and said, “Is everything alright?”
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.
Gehazi said, “Everything is alright. My master has sent me, saying, 'See, now there have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes.'”
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.
Naaman replied, “I am very happy to give you two talents.” Naaman urged Gehazi and tied two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothes, and laid them on two of his servants, who carried the bags of silver before Gehazi.
24 A on kad doðe na brdo, uze iz ruku njihovijeh i ostavi u jednoj kuæi, a ljude otpusti, te otidoše.
When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the bags of silver from their hands and hid them in the house; he sent the men away, and they left.
25 Potom došavši stade pred gospodarom svojim. A Jelisije mu reèe: otkle Gijezije? A on reèe: nije išao sluga tvoj nikuda.
When Gehazi went in and stood before his master, Elisha said to him, “Where have you come from, Gehazi?” He answered, “Your servant went nowhere.”
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?
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Was not my spirit with you when the man turned his chariot to meet you? Is this a time to accept money and clothes, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, and male servants and female servants?
27 Zato guba Nemanova neka prione za te i za sjeme tvoje dovijeka. I otide od njega gubav, bio kao snijeg.
So the leprosy of Naaman will be on you and your descendants forever.” So Gehazi went out from his presence, a leper as white as snow.
