2 Kralji 5
1 Torej Naamán, poveljnik vojske sirskega kralja, je bil plemenit mož pri svojem gospodarju in častitljiv, ker je po njem Gospod dal Siriji osvoboditev. Bil je tudi mogočen mož v hrabrosti, toda bil je gobavec.
Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Syria; he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
2 Sirci so hodili ven po skupinah in iz izraelske dežele odvedli ujetnico, malo deklico; in ta je čakala na Naamánovo ženo.
The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little girl, and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
3 Svoji gospodarici je rekla: »Da bi Bog dal, da bi bil moj gospodar s prerokom, ki je v Samariji! Kajti on bi odvzel njegovo gobavost.«
She said to her mistress, “I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy.”
4 Nekdo je vstopil in to povedal svojemu gospodarju, rekoč: »Tako in tako je govorila služabnica, ki je iz Izraelove dežele.«
Someone went in and told his lord, saying, “The girl who is from the land of Israel said this.”
5 Kralj Sirije je rekel: »Odpravi se, pojdi, jaz pa bom poslal pismo Izraelovemu kralju.« Odpotoval je in s seboj vzel deset talentov srebra, šest tisoč koščkov zlata in deset zamenjav oblačil.
The king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
6 Izraelovemu kralju je prinesel pismo, rekoč: »Sedaj, ko je to pismo prišlo k tebi, glej, sem z njim poslal k tebi svojega služabnika Naamána, da mu lahko odvzameš njegovo gobavost.«
He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “Now when this letter has come to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.”
7 Pripetilo se je, ko je Izraelov kralj prebral pismo, da je pretrgal svoja oblačila in rekel: » Sem jaz Bog, da ubijem in oživim, da je ta človek poslal k meni, da možu odvzamem njegovo gobavost? Zatorej preudarite, prosim vas in glejte, kako zoper mene išče spor.«
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 sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.”
8 Bilo je tako, ko je Božji mož Elizej slišal, da je Izraelov kralj pretrgal svoja oblačila, da je poslal h kralju, rekoč: »Zakaj si pretrgal svoja oblačila? Naj torej pride k meni in vedel bo, da je v Izraelu prerok.«
It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
9 Tako je Naamán prišel s svojimi konji in s svojim bojnim vozom in obstal pri vratih Elizejeve hiše.
So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 Elizej pa je k njemu poslal poslanca, rekoč: »Pojdi in se sedemkrat umij v Jordanu in tvoje meso bo ponovno prišlo k tebi in boš čist.«
Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.”
11 Toda Naaman je bil ogorčen in odšel ter rekel: »Glej, mislil sem: ›Zagotovo bo prišel ven k meni, obstal in klical k imenu Gospoda, svojega Boga in s svojo roko udaril nad mestom in odvzel gobavost.‹
But Naaman was angry, and went away and said, “Behold, I thought, ‘He will 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 the leper.’
12 Mar nista Abána in Parpár, reki v Damasku, boljši kakor vse Izraelove vode? Ali se ne bi mogel umiti v njima in bi bil čist?« Tako se je obrnil in v besu odšel proč.
Aren’t Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.
13 Njegovi služabniki so prišli blizu, mu spregovorili in rekli: »Moj oče, če bi ti prerok naročil, da storiš neko veliko stvar, ali ne bi ti tega storil? Koliko bolj potem, ko ti je rekel: ›Umij se in bodi čist?‹«
His servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”
14 Potem je odšel dol, se sedemkrat potopil v Jordanu, glede na izrek Božjega moža in njegovo meso je ponovno prišlo kakor meso majhnega otroka in bil je čist.
Then went he down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
15 Vrnil se je k Božjemu možu, on in vsa njegova skupina in prišel ter obstal pred njim in rekel: »Glej, sedaj vem, da ni Boga na vsej zemlji, razen v Izraelu. Sedaj torej, prosim te, vzemi blagoslov od svojega služabnika.«
He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, “See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”
16 Toda on je rekel: » Kakor živi Gospod, pred katerim stojim, ne bom ničesar sprejel.« Silil ga je, da to vzame; toda zavrnil je.
But he said, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.” He urged him to take it; but he refused.
17 Naamán je rekel: »Ali ne bo, prosim te, dano tvojemu služabniku, tovor prsti za dve muli? Kajti tvoj služabnik odslej ne bo daroval niti žgalne daritve niti klavne daritve drugim bogovom, razen Gospodu.
Naaman said, “If not, then, please let two mules’ load of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Yahweh.
18 V tej stvari pa naj Gospod odpusti svojemu služabniku, da ko gre moj gospodar v Rimónovo hišo, da tam obožuje in se naslanja na mojo roko in se priklonim v Rimónovi hiši. Ko se priklonim v Rimónovi hiši, naj Gospod v tej stvari odpusti svojemu služabniku.«
In this thing may Yahweh pardon your servant: when my master 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 thing.”
19 Rekel mu je: »Pojdi v miru.« Tako je odšel od njega del poti.
He said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a little way.
20 Toda Gehazí, služabnik Božjega moža Elizeja, je rekel: »Glej, moj gospodar je prizanesel temu Sircu Naamánu v tem, da iz njegovih rok ni sprejel tega, kar je prinesel. Toda kakor živi Gospod bom stekel za njim in od njega nekaj vzel.«
But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”
21 Tako je Gehazí sledil Naamánu. Ko ga je Naamán videl teči za seboj, je upočasnil bojni voz, da ga sreča in rekel: » Ali je vse dobro?«
So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is all well?”
22 Ta je rekel: »Vse je dobro. Moj gospodar me je poslal, rekoč: ›Glej, celo sedaj sta prišla k meni z gore Efrájim dva mladeniča izmed preroških sinov. Daj jima, prosim te, talent srebra in dve menjavi oblačil.‹«
He said, “All is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.’”
23 Naamán je rekel: »Bodi zadovoljen, vzemi dva talenta.« Silil ga je in dva talenta srebra povezal v dve vreči, z dvema menjavama oblačil in jih položil na dva izmed svojih služabnikov in nosila sta jih pred njim.
Naaman said, “Be pleased to take two talents.” He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him.
24 Ko je prišel k stolpu, jih je vzel iz njune roke in jih shranil v hiši, moža pa je pustil oditi in sta odšla.
When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed.
25 Toda sam je vstopil in obstal pred svojim gospodarjem. Elizej mu je rekel: »Od kod prihajaš, Gehazí?« Rekel je: »Tvoj služabnik ni šel nikamor.«
But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you come from, Gehazi?” He said, “Your servant went nowhere.”
26 Rekel mu je: »Mar ni moje srce odšlo s teboj, ko se je mož ponovno obrnil nazaj iz svojega bojnega voza, da te sreča? Mar je čas, da prejemaš denar, da prejemaš obleke, oljčne nasade, vinograde, ovce, vole, služabnike in dekle?
He said to him, “Didn’t my heart go with you when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants?
27 Zato se bo Naamánova gobavost trdno prijela tebe in tvojega semena na veke.« In izpred njegove prisotnosti je odšel gobav, tako bel kakor sneg.
Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your offspring forever.” He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.
