Boqorradii Labaad 5
1 Haddaba Nacamaan oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka boqorka Suuriya wuxuu ahaa nin xagga sayidkiisa ku weyn oo ciso leh, maxaa yeelay, isaga ayaa Rabbigu reer Suuriya lib ku siiyey; oo weliba wuxuu ahaa nin xoog leh, laakiinse baras buu qabay.
[A man named] Naaman was the commander of the army of Syria. Yahweh had enabled him to win many victories/battles. He was a great warrior, and as a result the king of Syria greatly respected him. But he had (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease).
2 Oo reer Suuriyana guutooyin bay ku baxeen, oo waxay dalkii Israa'iil ka soo dhaceen gabadh yar, oo iyana Nacamaan bilcantiisa ayay u adeegi jirtay.
[Some time previously, ] groups of soldiers/marauders from Syria had raided/attacked the land of Israel, and they had captured a young girl [and taken her to Syria]. She became a servant for Naaman’s wife.
3 Oo waxay sayidaddeedii ku tidhi, Hoogay, haddii sayidkaygu hor tegi lahaa nebiga Samaariya jooga wuu ka bogsiin lahaa baraskan.
One day, that girl said to her, “I wish that (my master/your husband) would go to see the prophet in Samaria. That prophet would heal your husband from his leprosy.”
4 Oo mid baa sayidkiisii u galay oo ku yidhi, Gabadhii dalka Israa'iil ka timid saas iyo saas bay tidhi.
[Naaman’s wife told her husband] what the girl from Israel had said, [and] Naaman told [that] to the king.
5 Markaasaa boqorkii Suuriya wuxuu Nacamaan ku yidhi, War orod oo tag, oo anna warqad baan kuugu sii dhiibayaa boqorka dalka Israa'iil. Oo isna wuu tegey, oo wuxuu qaaday toban talanti oo lacag ah, iyo lix kun oo sheqel oo dahab ah, iyo toban iskujoog oo dhar ah.
The king said to him, “Okay, go [and see the prophet]. I will [write] a letter for you to take to the king of Israel, [saying that I sent you].” The king wrote in the letter, “I am sending this letter with [my army commander] Naaman, who serves me [faithfully]. I want you to heal him of his disease.” So Naaman, [assuming/thinking that the king of Israel was the prophet, took the letter and] 750 pounds of silver, 150 pounds of gold, and ten sets of clothing, to give to the king of Israel, [and he went to Samaria, taking along several servants].
6 Oo wuxuu u keenay boqorkii dalka Israa'iil warqaddii lahayd, Haddaba markii warqaddanu kuu timaado, bal eeg, addoonkayga Nacamaan ah ayaan kugu soo diray si aad baraska uga bogsiisid.
7 Oo markii boqorkii dalka Israa'iil warqaddii akhriyey ayuu dharkiisii iska jeexjeexay oo wuxuu yidhi, War ma anigaa ah Ilaah wax dili kara, waxna noolayn kara? Oo ninkanu ma saasuu nin iigu soo diray si aan baraska uga bogsiiyo? Waan idin baryayaaye bal u fiirsada siduu ii daandaansanayo.
[When he arrived in Samaria, he gave the letter to the king] of Israel. The king read the letter. Then, being very dismayed, the king tore his clothes and said, “I am not God [RHQ]! I am not able to enable people to live or to die [RHQ]! Why does [the king] who wrote this letter request me to cure this man of his leprosy? I think that he is just wanting to start a fight with me!”
8 Oo markii Eliishaa oo ahaa nin Ilaah uu maqlay in boqorkii dalka Israa'iil dharkiisii iska jeexjeexay ayuu u cid diray boqorkii oo ku yidhi, War maxaad dharkaagii isaga jeexjeexday? Bal isagu ha ii yimaado, oo wuxuu ogaan doonaa in dalka Israa'iil nebi dhex joogo.
But the prophet Elisha heard that the king of Israel had torn his robe [and said that]. So he sent a message to the king, saying, “Why are you upset/frustrated [RHQ]? Send Naaman to me, and he will find out that [because] I am a true prophet [here] in Israel, [I can help/heal him].”
9 Markaasaa Nacamaan yimid, isagoo wata fardihiisii iyo gaadhifardoodkiisii, oo wuxuu soo hor istaagay albaabkii gurigii Eliishaa.
So Naaman went with his horses and chariots to Elisha’s house and waited outside the door.
10 Oo Eliishaa wargeeyuu u diray oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag oo Webi Urdun toddoba jeer ku maydho, oo jiidhkaagu mar kaluu kuu soo noqon doonaa, oo nadiif baad ahaan doontaa.
But Elisha [did not come to the door. Instead, he] sent a messenger to Naaman, to tell him, “Go to the Jordan [River] and wash yourself seven times in the river. Then your skin will be restored/healed, and you will no longer have leprosy.”
11 Laakiinse Nacamaan wuu cadhooday oo tegey, oo wuxuu yidhi, Bal eega, waxaan mooday inuu isaga qudhiisu ii soo baxayo oo istaagayo, oo uu magaca Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah iigu ducaynayo, oo uu gacantiisa meesha bukta dul marmarinayo, oo uu saas baraska ku bogsiinayo.
But Naaman became very angry. He said, “I thought that surely he would wave his hand over the leprosy, and pray to Yahweh his god, and heal me!
12 War Abaanaah iyo Farfar oo ah webiyadii Dimishaq sow kama wanaagsana biyaha dalka Israa'iil oo dhan? Bal miyaanan iyaga ku maydhan karin oo nadiif ahaan karin? Sidaas daraaddeed wuu noqday, oo wuxuu tegey isagoo cadhaysan.
Surely the Abana River and the Pharpar River in Damascus [in my own country of Syria] are [RHQ] better than any of the rivers in Israel! Why can I not wash in those rivers and be healed?” [RHQ] So he turned and walked away with great anger/disgust.
13 Laakiinse addoommadiisii ayaa u yimid oo la hadlay, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Aabbow, haddii nebigu wax weyn kugu amro sow ma aadan samayseen? Haddaba bal maxaa ka sahlan hadduu kugu yidhaahdo, Maydho, oo nadiif noqo?
But his servants came to him, and [one of them] said, “Sir, if that prophet had told you to do something difficult, you would certainly [RHQ] have done it. So you should certainly do what he says and wash [in the Jordan River] to be healed!” [RHQ]
14 Markaasuu tegey, oo sidii ninkii Ilaah isaga ku yidhi ayuu yeelay, oo Webi Urdun ayuu toddoba jeer liimbaday; oo jiidhkiisiina mar kaluu u soo noqday isagoo u eg ilmo yar jiidhkiis, nadiif buuna noqday.
So Naaman went down to the Jordan [River] and washed himself seven times, as (the prophet/Elisha) told him to do. Then his skin was restored/healed, and it became healthy/smooth, like the skin of a young child.
15 Markaasuu ninkii Ilaah ku noqday, oo isagii iyo kooxdiisii oo dhammuba, intay yimaadeen ayay hortiisii soo istaageen; oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg, haatan waan ogahay inaan dunida oo dhan Ilaah lagu arag dalka Israa'iil mooyaane, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad qaadato hadiyaddayda anoo addoonkaaga ah.
Then Naaman and those who were with him went back to talk to Elisha. They stood in front of him, and Naaman said, “Now I know that there are no real gods anywhere else in the world, but there is a God here in Israel! So now please accept these gifts that I [have brought to you]!”
16 Laakiinse Eliishaa wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbiga aan hor taagnahaye inaanan waxba kaa qaadanayn. Oo isna wuu ku sii cadaadiyey inuu qaato, laakiinse Eliishaa wuu diiday.
But Elisha replied, “Just as certainly as Yahweh, the one whom I serve, lives, I will not accept any gifts.” Naaman kept urging him [to accept the gifts], but Elisha kept refusing.
17 Markaasaa Nacamaan wuxuu yidhi, Haddii ayan saas ahayn weliba waxaan kaa baryayaa in anigoo addoonkaaga ah lay siiyo ciid intii ay laba baqal qaadi karaan, waayo, anigoo addoonkaaga ah, hadda ka dib Rabbiga mooyaane ilaahyo kale u bixin maayo qurbaan la gubo iyo allabari toona.
Then Naaman said, “Okay, but [I have one request. This dirt here in Israel is holy, so] please allow me to take some dirt from this place and put it [in sacks] on two mules. Then I will take it back home with me [and make an altar on this dirt]. From now on, I will offer sacrifices to Yahweh [on that altar]. I will not offer sacrifices to any other god.
18 Oo waxakanna Rabbigu ha iga cafiyo anigoo addoonkaaga ah, markii sayidkaygu guriga Rimmon u tago inuu ku tukado, oo uu ku tiirsada gacantayda ee aan anna ku sujuudo guriga Rimmon gudihiisa, oo markaan ku sujuudo guriga Rimmon gudihiisa Rabbigu anigoo addoonkaaga ah ha iga cafiyo waxakan.
However, when my master, [the king, ] goes into the temple of the god Rimmon to worship him/it there, and he is leaning on my arm, I hope/desire that Yahweh will forgive me because I will have to bow down, too.”
19 Oo isna wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Orod oo nabad ku tag. Sidaas daraaddeed in yar buu ka socday.
Elisha replied, “Go home, and do not worry about that.” So Naaman [and his servants] started to travel home.
20 Laakiinse Geexasii oo ahaa midiidinkii Eliishaa oo ahaa ninkii Ilaah wuxuu yidhi, Bal eega, sayidkaygu wuu u tudhay Nacamaan kii reer Suuriya, oo wixii uu u keenayna waxba kama uu qaadan. Waxaan Rabbiga noloshiisa ugu dhaartay inaan intaan isagii ka daba ordo wax ka soo qaato.
But then Elisha’s servant Gehazi said to himself, “It is not good that my master allowed this Syrian man to leave like this. He should have accepted his gifts. So just as certainly as Yahweh lives, I will go and catch up with Naaman and get something from him.”
21 Sidaas daraaddeed Geexasii wuxuu daba galay Nacamaan. Oo Nacamaanna markuu arkay mid soo daba ordaya ayuu gaadhifaraskiisii ka soo degtay inuu ka hor tago, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War ma nabad baa?
So Gehazi hurried to catch up with Naaman. When Naaman saw Gehazi running toward him, he [stopped] the chariot [in which he was riding, ] jumped out, and went to see what Gehazi wanted. He asked him, “Is everything all right?”
22 Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa nabad. Oo sayidkaygii baa i soo diray oo wuxuu kugu soo yidhi, Haddeerba waxaa ii yimid laba nin oo dhallinyar oo qoonkii nebiyada ah oo ka yimid dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim; haddaba waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad iyaga siiso talanti lacag ah iyo laba iskujoog oo dhar ah.
Gehazi replied, “Yes, but two young prophets from the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim live have just arrived. Elisha has sent me to tell you that he would like 75 pounds of silver and two sets of clothing to give to them.”
23 Markaasaa Nacamaan yidhi, Oggolow oo qaad laba talanti oo lacag ah. Wuuna ku sii adkeeyey, oo labadii talanti wuxuu ugu xidhay laba kiish, oo wuxuu ugu sii daray laba iskujoog oo dhar ah, oo weliba wuxuu u saaray laba midiidinnadiisii ah, oo iyana intay u qaadeen ayay hortiisa socdeen.
Naaman replied, “Certainly! You can have 150 pounds of silver!” He urged Gehazi to take it. He also gave him two sets of clothing. He tied up the silver in two bags and gave them to two of his servants to carry back to Elisha.
24 Oo markuu buurtii yimid ayuu gacmahoodii ka qaaday, oo guriguu dhigtay; nimankiina wuu iska diray oo way tageen.
But when they arrived at the hill [where Elisha lived], Gehazi took the silver and the clothes from Naaman’s servants and sent the servants back to Naaman. Then he took those things into his house and hid them.
25 Oo isagiina intuu gudaha galay ayuu sayidkiisii hor istaagay. Markaasaa Eliishaa ku yidhi, Geexasiiyow, xaggee baad ka timid? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Anigoo addoonkaaga ahu meella ma tegin.
When he went to Elisha, Elisha asked him, “Where did you go, Gehazi?” Gehazi replied, “I did not go anywhere.”
26 Oo isna wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, War sow qalbigaygu kulama socon markii ninku gaadhifaraskiisii ka soo noqday inuu kaa hor yimaado? War haatan ma wakhti lacag la qaataa oo ma wakhti la qaataa dhar, iyo beero saytuun ah, iyo beero canab ah, iyo ido, iyo dibi, iyo niman addoommo ah, iyo naago addoommo ah?
Elisha asked him, [“Do you not realize that] my spirit was there when Naaman got out of his chariot to talk with you? This is certainly not [RHQ] the time to accept gifts of money and clothes and olive groves and vineyards and sheep and oxen and servants!
27 Haddaba waxaa adiga iyo farcankaagaba idinku dhegi doona weligiin Nacamaan baraskiisii. Oo wuxuu hortiisii ka tegey isagoo baras qaba oo u cad sida baraf cad oo kale.
Because you have done this, you and your children and all your descendants, forever, will have leprosy just like Naaman had!” And when Gehazi left the room, he was a leper! His skin was as white as snow!
