2 Tuʻi 5

1 Pea ko Neamani, ko e ʻeiki pule ki ke kautau ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia, ko e tangata ia naʻe ʻeiki mo ongoongolelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene ʻeiki, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻiate ia, naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui ki Silia: ko e tangata foki ia naʻe mālohi ʻaupito ʻi he tau, ka ko e kilia.

Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him YHWH had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.

2 Pea ʻi he ʻalu atu ʻae ngaahi kongakau ʻoe kakai Silia, naʻa nau ʻomi pōpula ha taʻahine siʻi mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe tauhi ʻe ia ki he uaifi ʻo Neamani.

And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.

3 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene fineʻeiki, “Taumaiā kuo nofo ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki mo e palōfita ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Samēlia! he te ne fakamoʻui ia mei heʻene kilia.”

And she said unto her mistress, Would Elohim my master were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.

4 Pea naʻe ʻalu ange ʻae tokotaha, mo ne tala ki heʻene ʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē mo pehē ʻe he taʻahine ʻaia ʻoku mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.”

And one went in, and told his master, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.

5 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia, “ʻOku lelei, ʻalu, pea te u ʻatu ha tohi ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.” Pea naʻa ne ʻalu, pea ne ʻave mo ia ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe hongofulu, mo e konga koula ʻe ono afe, mo e kofu kātoa ʻe hongofulu.

And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

6 Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae tohi ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni ʻoka hoko atu ʻae tohi ni kiate koe, vakai, kuo u fekau atu mo ia kiate koe ʻa Neamani ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ke fakamoʻui ia mei heʻene kilia.”

And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.

7 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē hili ʻa ʻene lau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae tohi, naʻa ne haehae ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, mo ne pehē, “He ko e ʻOtua au, ke tāmate mo fakamoʻui, kuo fekau ai ʻe he tangata ni ke u fakamoʻui ha tangata mei heʻene kilia? Ko ia mou vakai, pea mou tokanga ki heʻene kumi ha meʻa ke fakatupu ai ʻae kovi kiate au.”

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I Elohim, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

8 Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe ʻIlaisa ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he haehae ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, naʻa ne fekau ai ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke haehae ai ho ngaahi kofu? Tuku ke ne haʻu kiate au, pea te ne ʻilo ʻoku ai ha palōfita ʻi ʻIsileli.”

And it was so, when Elisha the man of Elohim had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

9 Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻa Neamani mo ʻene fanga hoosi pea mo ʻene saliote, pea tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIlaisa.

So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

10 Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe ʻIlaisa ha tangata fekau kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo kaukau ʻi Sioatani ke liunga fitu, pea ʻe toe hoko mai ho kakano kiate koe, pea te ke maʻa ai.”

And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

11 Ka naʻe ʻita lahi ʻa Neamani, pea ʻalu ia, mo ne pehē, “Vakai, naʻaku pehē ʻeau, te ne ʻomi moʻoni kituʻa kiate au, pea tuʻu, ʻo ne ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, mo ne ala ʻaki ʻa hono nima ki he potu, mo ne fakamoʻui ai ʻae kilia.

But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of YHWH his Elohim, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

12 ‌ʻIkai ʻoku lelei hake ʻa ʻApana mo Paapaa ko e vaitafe ʻi Tamasikusi, ʻi he ngaahi vai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli? ʻIkai te u faʻa kaukau ʻi ai, pea u maʻa ai? Ko ia, naʻa ne foki atu ʻo ʻalu ʻi he ʻita lahi.”

Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

13 Pea naʻe fakaofi atu ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, mo nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEku tamai, ka ne tala ʻe he palōfita ke ke fai ha meʻa lahi, ʻikai kuo ke fai ia? Kae muʻa hake eni, ʻa ʻene pehē mai kiate koe, ‘Kaukau, pea te ke maʻa ai?’”

And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

14 Pea naʻa ne toki ʻalu hifo, mo ne kaukau ia ʻo liunga fitu ʻi Sioatani, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua: pea naʻe toe hoko mai kiate ia ʻa hono kakano, ʻo hangē ko e kakano ʻo ha tamasiʻi siʻi, pea naʻa ne maʻa ai.

Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of Elohim: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

15 Pea naʻa ne toe ʻalu ange ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia mo ʻene kau fononga kotoa pē, pea haʻu, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao: pea naʻa ne pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ou toki ʻilo eni ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ʻi māmani kotoa pē, ka ʻi ʻIsileli pe: pea ko ia ʻoku ou kole, ke ke maʻu ha meʻaʻofa mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”

And he returned to the man of Elohim, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no Elohim in all earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.

16 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻu ni ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻe ʻikai te u maʻu ha meʻa. Pea naʻa ne kole fakamātoato ke ne maʻu ia; ka naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki ai.”

But he said, As YHWH liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.

17 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Neamani, “Pea ka kuo pehē, ʻoku ou kole ai ke ʻomi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ha kavenga ʻe ua ʻoe kelekele ke fakaheka ki ha miuli ʻe ua? Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai siʻi toe ʻatu ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ha feilaulau tutu, pe ha feilaulau ki ha ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ka kia Sihova pe.”

And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other elohim, but unto YHWH.

18 “Ke fakamolemole ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he meʻa ko eni, ʻoka hū atu ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ki he fale ʻo Limoni ke lotu ai, pea ʻoku ne faʻaki ki hoku nima, pea ʻoku ou punou hifo ʻi he fale ʻo Limoni: ʻo kau ka punou hifo au ʻi he fale ʻo Limoni, ke fakamolemole ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he meʻa ni.”

In this thing YHWH pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, YHWH pardon thy servant in this thing.

19 Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.” Pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo mamaʻo siʻi mei he potu ko ia.

And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.

20 Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Kehesi ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻIlaisa ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Vakai, kuo mamae ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ki he tangata Silia ni ko Neamani, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene taʻemaʻu mei hono nima ʻae meʻa naʻa ne ʻomi: kae hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, te u lele atu kiate ia, ʻo maʻu ha meʻa meiate ia.”

But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of Elohim, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as YHWH liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

21 Ko ia naʻe muimui atu ʻa Kehesi kia Neamani. Pea ʻi he sio ʻa Neamani ki heʻene lele mai kiate ia, naʻa ne ʻalu hifo mei heʻene saliote ke fetaulaki kiate ia mo ne pehē, “ʻOku lelei kotoa pē?”

So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

22 Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku lelei kotoa pē. Kuo fekau au ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki, ke fakahā, Vakai, kuo haʻu eni kiate au mei he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi ʻae ongo talavou mei he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita: pea ʻoku ou kole ke ke foaki kiate kinaua, ha taleniti siliva ʻe taha, mo e ngaahi kofu kātoa ʻe ua.”

And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

23 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Neamani, “Ke ke fiemālie pe, ʻave ʻae taleniti ʻe ua.” Pea naʻa ne ueʻi mālohi ia, pea naʻa ne noʻotaki ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe ua ki he kato ʻe ua, mo e ngaahi kofu kātoa ʻe ua, pea naʻa ne ʻai ia ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko ua; pea naʻa na fua atu ia ʻi hono ʻao.

And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.

24 Pea ʻi heʻene hoko atu ki he fale leʻo, naʻa ne toʻo ia mei hona nima, mo ne ʻai atu ia ki fale: pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻae ongo tangata ke ʻalu, pea naʻa na ʻalu.

And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

25 Ka naʻe hū atu ia [ki fale], mo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene ʻeiki. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia, “Kuo ke haʻu mei fē Kehesi?” Pea naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki ha potu.

But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

26 Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻe ʻalu ʻa hoku loto mo koe, ʻi heʻene tafoki mai ʻae tangata mei hono saliote ke fakafetaulaki kiate koe? He ko e kuonga eni ke maʻu kofu, mo e ngoue ʻolive, mo e ngoue vaine, mo e fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e kau kaunanga?

And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

27 Ko ia foki, ʻe piki kiate koe ʻae kilia naʻe ʻia Neamani, pea ki ho hako ʻo taʻengata.” Pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu mei hono ʻao ko e kilia ʻo tatau mo e ʻuha hinehina.

The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
