2 Mga Hari 5

1 Ngayon si Naaman, pinuno ng hukbo ng hari ng Aram, ay magiting at marangal sa paningin ng kaniyang panginoon, dahil sa pamamagitan niya, binigyan ng tagumpay ni Yahweh ang Aram. Malakas din siya at matapang pero isa siyang ketongin.

Now Naiman, the captain of the host of Syria, was a great man before his master, and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria, and the man was mighty in strength, [but] a leper.

2 Lumusob ang mga Aramean nang grupo grupo at dinakip ang isang batang babae mula sa lupain ng Israel. Pinaglingkuran niya ang asawa ni Naaman.

And the Syrians went forth in small bands, and took captive out of the land of Israel a little maid: and she waited on Naiman's wife.

3 Sinabi ng dalaga sa kaniyang madrasta, “Sana kasama ng amo ko ang propeta na nasa Samaria! Tiyak pagagalingin niya ang ketong ng panginoon ko.”

And she said to her mistress, O that my lord were before the prophet of God in Samaria; then he would recover him from his leprosy.

4 Kaya sinabi ni Naaman sa hari ang sinabi ng dalaga mula sa lupain ng Israel.

And she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid from the land of Israel.

5 Kaya sinabi ng hari ng Aram, “Lumakad ka, at magpapadala ako ng liham sa hari ng Israel.” Umalis si Naaman na may baong sampung talentong pilak, anim na libong piraso ng ginto, at sampung pamalit na damit.

And the king of Syria said to Naiman, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

6 Dinala rin niya ang liham sa hari ng Israel na nagsasabing, “Kapag dumating ang sulat na ito sa iyo, makikita mong pinadala ko si Naaman na aking lingkod sa iyo para pagalingin mo siya sa kaniyang ketong.”

And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now then, as soon as this letter shall reach you, behold, I have sent to you my servant Naiman, and you shall recover him from his leprosy.

7 Nang mabasa ng hari ng Israel ang liham, pinunit niya ang damit niya at sinabing, “Diyos ba ako, para pumatay at magbigay ng buhay kaya nais ng lalaking ito na pagalingin ko ang isang tao sa kaniyang ketong? Mukhang naghahamon siya ng away.”

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, [that] he tore his garments, and said, [Am] I God, to kill and to make alive, that this [man] sends to me to recover a man of his leprosy? consider, however, I pray you, and see that this [man] seeks an occasion against me.

8 Kaya nang marinig ni Eliseo, ang lingkod ng Diyos, na pinunit ng hari ng Israel ang kaniyang damit, nagpadala siya ng mensahe sa hari nagsasabing, “Bakit mo pinunit ang iyong mga damit? Papuntahin mo siya sa akin at malalaman niyang may propeta sa Israel.”

And it came to pass, when Elisaie heard that the king of Israel had tore his garments, that he sent to the king of Israel, saying, Therefore have you tore your garments? Let Naiman, I pray you, come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.

9 Kaya dumating si Naaman kasama ng kaniyang mga kabayo at karwahe at tumayo sa pinto ng bahay ni Eliseo.

So Naiman came with horse and chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisaie.

10 Nagpadala si Eliseo ng mensahero sa kaniya, sinasabing, “Lumublob ka sa Jordan ng pitong beses, at maibabalik ang kutis mo; ikaw ay magiging malinis.”

And Elisaie sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash seven times in Jordan, and your flesh shall return to you, and you shall be cleansed.

11 Pero nagalit si Naaman at umalis, sinasabing, “Tingnan mo, akala ko siguradong lalabas siya para sa akin at tatayo at tatawag sa pangalan ni Yahweh na kaniyang Diyos, at ikukumpas ang kamay niya sa buong katawan ko para pagalingin ako sa aking ketong.

And Naiman was angry, and departed, and said, Behold, I said, He will by all means come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of his God, and lay his hand upon the place, and recover the leper.

12 Hindi ba't ang Abana at Farfar, mga ilog ng Damasco, ay mas malinis kaysa lahat ng tubig sa Israel? Hindi ba pwedeng doon ako maligo para maging malinis?” Kaya tumalikod siya at umalis nang galit na galit.

[Are] not the Abana and Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not go and wash in them, and be cleansed? and he turned and went away in a rage.

13 Pagkatapos lumapit ang mga lingkod ni Naaman at kinausap siya, “Ama, kung inutusan ka ng propeta ng isang mahirap na bagay, hindi mo ba gagawin ito? Paano pa kaya kung magsabi siya sa iyo ng isang simpleng bagay gaya ng, 'Lumublob ka para maging malinis ka?'”

And his servants came near and said to him, [Suppose] the prophet had spoken a great thing to you, would you not perform it? yet he has but said to you, Wash, and be cleansed.

14 Kaya nagpunta siya at lumublob ng pitong beses sa Jordan bilang pagsunod sa mga tagubilin ng lingkod ng Diyos. Bumalik ang kaniyang kutis, tulad ng kutis ng isang maliit na bata, at siya ay gumaling.

So Naiman went down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the word of Elisaie: and his flesh returned to him as the flesh of a little child, and he was cleansed.

15 Bumalik si Naaman sa lingkod ng Diyos, siya at ang lahat ng kaniyang kasama, at lumapit sila sa harap niya. Sinabi niya, “Alam kong wala nang ibang diyos sa buong mundo maliban sa Israel. Kaya pakiusap, tanggapin mo ang regalong ito mula sa iyong lingkod.”

And he and all his company returned to Elisaie, and he came and stood before him, and said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth, save only in Israel: and now receive a blessing of your servant.

16 Pero tumugon si Eliseo, “Hangga't nabubuhay si Yahweh na aking pinaglilingkuran, hindi ako tatanggap ng anumang bagay.” Pinilit ni Naaman si Eliseo na tanggapin ang regalo pero tumanggi ito.

And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not take [one]. And he pressed him to take [one]: but he would not.

17 Kaya sinabi ni Naaman, “Kung hindi, maaari mo ba akong bigyan ng lupa na kayang dalhin ng dalawang mola, dahil simula ngayon, ang iyong lingkod ay hindi na maghahandog, ni mag-aalay sa sinumang diyos maliban kay Yahweh.

And Naiman said, Well then, if not, let there be given to your servant, I pray you, the load [of a] yoke of mules; and you shall give me of the red earth: for henceforth your servant will not offer whole burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but only to the Lord by [reason of] this thing.

18 Pero patawarin sana ni Yahweh ang iyong lingkod sa isang bagay na ito, iyon ay, kapag pumunta ang hari sa tahanan ni Rimmon para sumamba roon, at kumapit siya sa kamay ko, at yumuko ako sa tahanan ni Rimmon. Patawarin nawa ni Yahweh ang iyong lingkod sa bagay na ito.”

And let the Lord be propitious to your servant when my master goes into the house of Remman to worship there, and he shall lean on my hand, and I shall bow down in the house of Remman when he bows down in the house of Remman; even let the Lord, I pray, be merciful to your servant in this matter.

19 Sinabi ni Eliseo sa kaniya, “Humayo ka nang mapayapa.” Kaya umalis si Naaman.

And Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.

20 Hindi pa siya nakakalayo sa kaniyang paglalakbay nang si Gehazi lingkod ni Eliseo na lingkod ng Diyos ay sinabi sa kaniyang sarili, “Kinaawaan ng panginoon ko si Naaman na Aramean sa pamamagitan ng hindi pagtanggap ng mga regalo mula sa kamay niya na kaniyang dinala. Hangga't nabubuhay si Yahweh, hahabulin ko siya at tatanggap ako ng anumang bagay mula sa kaniya.”

And Giezi the servant of Elisaie said, Behold, my Lord has spared this Syrian Naiman, so as not to take of his hand what he has brought: as the Lord lives, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat of him.

21 Kaya sumunod si Gehazi kay Naaman. Nang nakita ni Naaman na may taong sumusunod sa kaniya, bumaba siya mula sa kaniyang karwahe para salubungin siya at sinabing, “Maayos lang ba ang lahat?”

So Giezi followed after Naiman: and Naiman saw him running after him, and turned back from his chariot to meet him.

22 Sinabi ni Gehazi, “Maayos naman ang lahat. Pinadala ako ng aking panginoon, sinasabing, 'May lumapit sa akin mula sa bansa sa burol ng Efraim, dalawang lalaki na anak ng mga propeta. Pakiusap bigyan mo sila ng isang talentong pilak at dalawang pamalit na damit.”

And [Giezi] said, All is well: my master has sent me, saying, Behold, now are there come to me two young men of the sons of the prophets from mount Ephraim; give them, I pray you, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.

23 Tumugon si Naaman, “Masaya akong bigyan ka ng dalawang talento.” Hinimok ni Naaman si Gehazi at nagtali ng dalawang talentong pilak sa dalawang sisidlan, na may dalawang pamalit na damit, at ipinapasan ito sa kaniyang dalawang lingkod na nagdala ng mga sisidlan ng pilak para kay Gehazi.

And [Naiman] said, Take two talents of silver. And he took two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and put them upon two of his servants, and they bore them before him.

24 Nang dumating si Gehazi sa burol, kinuha niya ang sisidlan ng pilak mula sa mga kamay nila at tinago ang mga ito sa bahay; pinaalis niya ang mga lingkod at umalis sila.

And he came to a secret place, and took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and dismissed the men.

25 Nang pumasok si Gehazi at humarap sa kaniyang amo, sinabi ni Eliseo, “Saan ka nanggaling, Gehazi?” Tumugon siya, “Diyan-diyan lang nagpunta ang iyong lingkod.”

And he went in himself and stood before his master; and Elisaie said to him,

26 Sinabi ni Eliseo kay Gehazi, “Hindi ba kasama mo ang espiritu ko nang huminto ang karwahe ng lalaking iyon para salubungin ka? Ito ba ang oras para tumanggap ng pera, damit, mga olibong halamanan at mga ubasan, mga tupa, mga baka, at mga lingkod na lalaki at babae?

Whence [come you], Giezi? and Giezi said, Your servant has not been hither or there. And Elisaie said to him, Went not my heart with you, when the man returned from his chariot to meet you? and now you have received silver, and now you have received raiment, and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.

27 Kaya ang ketong ni Naaman ay papasa-iyo at iyong mga kaapu-apuhan magpakailanaman.” Kaya umalis si Gehazi sa kaniyang harapan, isang ketongin na kasing puti ng bulak.

The leprosy also of Naiman shall cleave to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, like snow.
