2 Wafalme 5

1 Basi Naamani, amri jeshi wa mfalme wa Shamu, alikuwa mtu mkubwa na mtu mwenye kuheshimiwa mbele ya bwana wake, kwa sababu kwa ajili yake Yahwe aliwapa ushindi Washami. Pia alikuwa hodari, mtu shujaa, lakini alikuwa anaukoma.

καὶ Ναιμαν ὁ ἄρχων τῆς δυνάμεως Συρίας ἦν ἀνὴρ μέγας ἐνώπιον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ καὶ τεθαυμασμένος προσώπῳ ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ ἔδωκεν κύριος σωτηρίαν Συρίᾳ καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἦν δυνατὸς ἰσχύι λελεπρωμένος

2 Washami walikuwa wametoka kuongoza kikosi na kumchukua kijana mdogo wa kike kutoka nchi ya Israeli. Akamuhudumia mke wa Naamani.

καὶ Συρία ἐξῆλθον μονόζωνοι καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσαν ἐκ γῆς Ισραηλ νεάνιδα μικράν καὶ ἦν ἐνώπιον τῆς γυναικὸς Ναιμαν

3 Yule binti akamwambia bibi yake, “Natamani kwamba bwana wangu angelikuwa na nabii ambaye yupo Samaria! Halafu angelimponya bwana wangu ukoma wake.

ἡ δὲ εἶπεν τῇ κυρίᾳ αὐτῆς ὄφελον ὁ κύριός μου ἐνώπιον τοῦ προφήτου τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ τότε ἀποσυνάξει αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ

4 Hivyo Naamani akaingia na kumwambia mfalme kile ambacho yule binti kutoka nchi ya Israeli alichokuwa amekisechosema.

καὶ εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν τῷ κυρίῳ ἑαυτῆς καὶ εἶπεν οὕτως καὶ οὕτως ἐλάλησεν ἡ νεᾶνις ἡ ἐκ γῆς Ισραηλ

5 Kisha mfalme wa Shamu akase, “Nenda sasa, na nitatuma barua kwa mfalme wa Israeli.” Naamani akaondoka na kuchukua talanta zake kumi za fedha, vipande elfu sita vya dhahabu, na nguo kumi za kubadilisha.

καὶ εἶπεν βασιλεὺς Συρίας πρὸς Ναιμαν δεῦρο εἴσελθε καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ βιβλίον πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ δέκα τάλαντα ἀργυρίου καὶ ἑξακισχιλίους χρυσοῦς καὶ δέκα ἀλλασσομένας στολάς

6 Pia alichukua barua ya kumpelekea mfalme wa Israeli inayosema, “Sasa wakati hii barua itakapoletwa kwako, utaona kwamba nimemtuma mtumishi wangu Naamani kwako, hivyo basi utamponya ukoma wake.”

καὶ ἤνεγκεν τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ισραηλ λέγων καὶ νῦν ὡς ἂν ἔλθῃ τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτο πρὸς σέ ἰδοὺ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς σὲ Ναιμαν τὸν δοῦλόν μου καὶ ἀποσυνάξεις αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ

7 Wakati mfalme wa Israeli alipoisoma ile barua, alichana mavazi yake na kusema, “Je mimi ni Mungu, niue na nirudishe uhai, kwamba huyu mtu anataka nimponye mtu ukoma wake? Inaonekana anatafuta mashindano na mimi.”

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἀνέγνω βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ τὸ βιβλίον διέρρηξεν τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν μὴ θεὸς ἐγὼ τοῦ θανατῶσαι καὶ ζωοποιῆσαι ὅτι οὗτος ἀποστέλλει πρός με ἀποσυνάξαι ἄνδρα ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ ὅτι πλὴν γνῶτε δὴ καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι προφασίζεται οὗτός με

8 Ikawa wakati Elisha mtu wa Mungu aliposikia kwamba mfalme wa Israeli alichana nguo zake, akatuma neno kwa mfalme akisema, “Kwa nini umechana nguo zako? Muache aje kwangu sasa, na atajua kwamba kuna nabii katika Israeli.”

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ελισαιε ὅτι διέρρηξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ τὰ ἱμάτια ἑαυτοῦ καὶ ἀπέστειλεν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ισραηλ λέγων ἵνα τί διέρρηξας τὰ ἱμάτιά σου ἐλθέτω δὴ πρός με Ναιμαν καὶ γνώτω ὅτι ἔστιν προφήτης ἐν Ισραηλ

9 Basi Naamani akaja na farasi wake na mikokoteni yake ya kukokotwa na farasi na kusimama kwenye mlango wa nyumba ya Elisha.

καὶ ἦλθεν Ναιμαν ἐν ἵππῳ καὶ ἅρματι καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ θύρας οἴκου Ελισαιε

10 Elisha akamtumia mjumbe, akisema, “Nenda na ukazame mwenyewe katika Yordani mara saba, na ngozi ya mwili wako itajirudi; utakuwa msafi.”

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ελισαιε ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων πορευθεὶς λοῦσαι ἑπτάκις ἐν τῷ Ιορδάνῃ καὶ ἐπιστρέψει ἡ σάρξ σού σοι καὶ καθαρισθήσῃ

11 Lakini Naamani alikasirika na kuondoka na kusema, “Tazama, Nilidhani bila shaka angekuja kwangu na kusimama na kuliita jina la Yahwe Mungu wake, na kupitisha mkono wake kwenye sehemu ya ugonjwa na kuponya ukoma wangu.

καὶ ἐθυμώθη Ναιμαν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ δὴ ἔλεγον ὅτι ἐξελεύσεται πρός με καὶ στήσεται καὶ ἐπικαλέσεται ἐν ὀνόματι θεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπιθήσει τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον καὶ ἀποσυνάξει τὸ λεπρόν

12 Je sio Abana na Faepari, mito ya Damaskasi, bora kuliko maji yote ya Israeli?” Je siwezi kuoga ndani yao na kuwa safi?” Hivyo akageuka na kwenda kwa hasira.

οὐχὶ ἀγαθὸς Αβανα καὶ Φαρφαρ ποταμοὶ Δαμασκοῦ ὑπὲρ Ιορδάνην καὶ πάντα τὰ ὕδατα Ισραηλ οὐχὶ πορευθεὶς λούσομαι ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι καὶ ἐξέκλινεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐν θυμῷ

13 Ndipo watumishi wa Naamani wakaja karibbu na kumwambia, “Baba yangu, kama yule nabii alikuamuru kufanya kitu kigumu, singelifanya? Je si zaidi basi, atakapokwambia rahisi, 'Zama mwenyewe na uwe safi?”

καὶ ἤγγισαν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς αὐτόν μέγαν λόγον ἐλάλησεν ὁ προφήτης πρὸς σέ οὐχὶ ποιήσεις καὶ ὅτι εἶπεν πρὸς σέ λοῦσαι καὶ καθαρίσθητι

14 Ndipo akashuka chini na kuzama mwenyewe mara saba kwenye Yordani, akitii maelekezo ya mtu wa Mungu. Nyama ya mwili wake ikarudi tena kama nyama ya mwili ya mtoto mdogo, na alikuwa amepona.

καὶ κατέβη Ναιμαν καὶ ἐβαπτίσατο ἐν τῷ Ιορδάνῃ ἑπτάκι κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ελισαιε καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἡ σὰρξ αὐτοῦ ὡς σὰρξ παιδαρίου μικροῦ καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη

15 Naamani akarudi kwa yule mtu wa Mungu, yeye na watu wake wengine, na kuja na kusimama mbele yake. Akasema, “Tazama, sasa najua kwamba hakuna Mungu katika Dunia nzima isipokuwa katika Israeli. Kwa hiyo basi, chukua zawadi kutoka kwa mtumishi wako tafadhali.”

καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν πρὸς Ελισαιε αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶσα ἡ παρεμβολὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἔστη καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ δὴ ἔγνωκα ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν θεὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ ὅτι ἀλλ’ ἢ ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ νῦν λαβὲ τὴν εὐλογίαν παρὰ τοῦ δούλου σου

16 Lakini Elisha akajibu, “Kama Yahwe aishivyo, ambaye nimesimama mbele yake, sintopokea chochote.”Naamani akamsihi Elisha apokee zawadi, lakini alikataa.

καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ζῇ κύριος ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ εἰ λήμψομαι καὶ παρεβιάσατο αὐτὸν λαβεῖν καὶ ἠπείθησεν

17 Hivyo Naamani akasema, “Kama sivyo, nakuomba ache apewe mtumishi wako pale mzigo wa baghala mbili za aridhi, kwa kuwa kuanzia sasa, mtumishi wako hatotoa tena sadaka ya kuteketezwa wala dhabihu kwa mungu yeyote isipokuwa Yahwe.

καὶ εἶπεν Ναιμαν καὶ εἰ μή δοθήτω δὴ τῷ δούλῳ σου γόμος ζεύγους ἡμιόνων καὶ σύ μοι δώσεις ἐκ τῆς γῆς τῆς πυρρᾶς ὅτι οὐ ποιήσει ἔτι ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ θυσίασμα θεοῖς ἑτέροις ἀλλ’ ἢ τῷ κυρίῳ μόνῳ

18 Katika jambo hili moja Yahwe anaweza kumsamehe mtumishi wako, hii ni, wakati mfalme wangu atakapoenda kwenye nyumba ya Rimoni kuabudu pale, na kujifunza kwenye mikono yangu na kumuinamia mwenyewe kwenye nyumba ya Rimoni, Yahwe aweze kumsamehe mtumishi wako katika hili jambo.”

καὶ ἱλάσεται κύριος τῷ δούλῳ σου ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι τὸν κύριόν μου εἰς οἶκον Ρεμμαν προσκυνῆσαι αὐτὸν καὶ ἐπαναπαύσεται ἐπὶ τῆς χειρός μου καὶ προσκυνήσω ἐν οἴκῳ Ρεμμαν ἐν τῷ προσκυνεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ Ρεμμαν καὶ ἱλάσεται δὴ κύριος τῷ δούλῳ σου ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ

19 Elisha akamwambia, “Nenda kwa amani.” Hivyo Naamani akaondoka.

καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε πρὸς Ναιμαν δεῦρο εἰς εἰρήνην καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς δεβραθα τῆς γῆς

20 Alikuwa amesafiri lakini umbali mfupi, wakati Gehazi mtumishi wa Elisha mtumishi wa Mungu alisema mwenyewe, “Tazama, bwana wangu amemuandaa huyu Naamani Mshami kwa kuacha kupokea zawadi kutoka kwenye mikono yake ambazo alizileta. Kama Yahwe aishivyo, Nitakimbia nikimfuata na kupokea kitu kutoka kwake.

καὶ εἶπεν Γιεζι τὸ παιδάριον Ελισαιε ἰδοὺ ἐφείσατο ὁ κύριός μου τοῦ Ναιμαν τοῦ Σύρου τούτου τοῦ μὴ λαβεῖν ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐνήνοχεν ζῇ κύριος ὅτι εἰ μὴ δραμοῦμαι ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ λήμψομαι παρ’ αὐτοῦ τι

21 Hivyo Gehazi akamfuata Naamani. Wakati Naamani alipomuona mtu mmoja anakimbia akimfuata, aliruka chini kutoka kwenye gari yake kuonana naye na kusema, “Je kila kitu kiko sawa?”

καὶ ἐδίωξε Γιεζι ὀπίσω τοῦ Ναιμαν καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὸν Ναιμαν τρέχοντα ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἅρματος εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ

22 Gehazi akasema, “kila kitu kiko sawa. Bwana wangu amenituma, akisema, 'Tazama, sasa wamekuja kwangu kutoka nchi ya mlima ya Efraimu vijana wawili wa watoto wa manabii. Tafadhali, wapatie talanta ya fedha na nguo mbili za kubadilisha.”

καὶ εἶπεν εἰρήνη ὁ κύριός μου ἀπέστειλέν με λέγων ἰδοὺ νῦν ἦλθον πρός με δύο παιδάρια ἐξ ὄρους Εφραιμ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν δὸς δὴ αὐτοῖς τάλαντον ἀργυρίου καὶ δύο ἀλλασσομένας στολάς

23 Naamani akajibu, “Ninafuraha kubwa kukupatia talanta mbili.” Naamani akamsihi Gehazi na kujaribu talanta mbili za fedha kwenye mifuko miwili ya kubebea, pamoja na nguo mbili za kubadilisha, na kutandaza kwa wafanyakazi wake wawili, ambao walikuwa wamebebea ile mifuko miwili ya fedha mbele ya Gehazi.

καὶ εἶπεν Ναιμαν λαβὲ διτάλαντον ἀργυρίου καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐν δυσὶ θυλάκοις καὶ δύο ἀλλασσομένας στολὰς καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπὶ δύο παιδάρια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἦραν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ

24 Wakati Gehazi alipokuja kwenye ule mlima, alichukua ile mifuko ya fedha kutoka kwenye mikono yao na kuificha kwenye nyumba; akawatuma wale watu, na wakaondoka.

καὶ ἦλθον εἰς τὸ σκοτεινόν καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ παρέθετο ἐν οἴκῳ καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν τοὺς ἄνδρας

25 Wakati Gehazi alipoingia na kusimama mbele ya bwana wake, Elisha akamwambia, “Umetokea wapi, Gehazi?” Akajibu, “Mtumishi wako hakwenda mahali.”

καὶ αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθεν καὶ παρειστήκει πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ελισαιε πόθεν Γιεζι καὶ εἶπεν Γιεζι οὐ πεπόρευται ὁ δοῦλός σου ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα

26 Elisha akamwambia Gehazi, “Je roho yangu haikuwa na wewe wakati yule mtu alipoyarudisha magari yake ya farasi ili kukutana na wewe? Je uu ni mda wa kupokea pesa na nguo, mashamba ya mzaituni na mizabibu, na kondoo na Ng'ombe, na watumishi wakiume na watumishi wakike?

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ελισαιε οὐχὶ ἡ καρδία μου ἐπορεύθη μετὰ σοῦ ὅτε ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἅρματος εἰς συναντήν σοι καὶ νῦν ἔλαβες τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ νῦν ἔλαβες τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ λήμψῃ ἐν αὐτῷ κήπους καὶ ἐλαιῶνας καὶ ἀμπελῶνας καὶ πρόβατα καὶ βόας καὶ παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας

27 Basi ukoma wa Naamani utakuwa kwenye uzao wako daima.” Basi Gehazi akatoka kwenye uwepo wake, mwenye ukoma kama theluji.

καὶ ἡ λέπρα Ναιμαν κολληθήσεται ἐν σοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ λελεπρωμένος ὡσεὶ χιών
