1 Na Aramhene bu Naaman a ɔyɛ asraafo so sahene no yiye. Efisɛ ɛnam ne so na Awurade maa Aram dii nkonim akɛse bebree. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ na Naaman yɛ ɔkofo kɛse de, nanso na ɔyare kwata.
Njalo uNamani induna yebutho lenkosi yeSiriya wayengumuntu omkhulu phambi kwenkosi yakhe, lohloniphekayo, ngoba ngaye uJehova wayenikile iSiriya ukukhululwa. Njalo lindoda yayiliqhawe elilamandla, kodwayayingumlephero.
2 Afei, na Aram akofo adi Israel asase so, na abaawa ketewa bi ka wɔn a wɔkyeree wɔn nnommum no ho. Wɔde saa abaawa no maa Naaman yere sɛ nʼabaawa.
Njalo amaSiriya ayephumile ngamaviyo athumba intombazana elizweni lakoIsrayeli, eyayisima phambi komkaNamani.
3 Da bi, abaawa no ka kyerɛɛ nʼawuraa se, “Sɛ me wura kohu odiyifo a ɔwɔ Samaria no a, anka ɔbɛsa no yare ama kwata no afi ne honam ani.”
Yasisithi enkosikazini yayo: Sengathi inkosi yami ingaba phambi komprofethi oseSamariya; khona ubezayiphilisa kubulephero bayo.
4 Enti Naaman kaa asɛm a abaawa a ofi Israel no ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ ɔhene.
Wasengena watshela inkosi yakhe esithi: Intombazana evela elizweni lakoIsrayeli itsho ukuthi lokuthi.
5 Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ, na kɔsra odiyifo no. Mɛkyerɛw krataa aka wo ho, na wode akɔma Israelhene.” Enti Naaman faa dwetɛ akyɛde kilogram ahaasa aduanan, sikakɔkɔɔ kilogram aduosia nkron ne ntade mmɔho du, na osii mu kɔe.
Inkosi yeSiriya yasisithi: Suka, uhambe, ngizathumela incwadi enkosini yakoIsrayeli. Wasehamba wathatha esandleni sakhe amathalenta esiliva alitshumi lenhlamvu zegolide ezizinkulungwane eziyisithupha lezigqoko zokuntshintsha ezilitshumi.
6 Krataa a ɔde rekɔma Israelhene no mu asɛm ne sɛ, “Menam krataa yi so reda me somfo Naaman adi akyerɛ wo. Mepɛ sɛ wosa no yare ma ne kwata no fi ne honam ani.”
Waseletha incwadi enkosini yakoIsrayeli isithi: Khathesi-ke, lapho le incwadi isifikile kuwe, khangela, ngithume kuwe uNamani inceku yami ukuze umphilise kubulephero bakhe.
7 Bere a Israelhene kenkan krataa no, ɔde ahometew sunsuan nʼatade mu, kae se, “Saa ɔbarima yi asoma ɔkwatani aba me nkyɛn, sɛ mensa no yare! Meyɛ Onyankopɔn a mitumi kum, san ma nkwa? Ɔrehwehwɛ kwan bi afa so, anya nnyinaso bi na wabɛtow ahyɛ yɛn so bio.”
Kwasekusithi inkosi yakoIsrayeli isiyibalile leyoncwadi yadabula izigqoko zayo yathi: NginguNkulunkulu yini ukuthi ngibulale loba ngiphilise, ukuthi lo athumele kimi ukuthi ngiphilise umuntu kubulephero bakhe? Ngakho-ke, ake linanzelele libone ukuthi udinga ithuba lokumelana lami.
8 Bere a Elisa, Onyankopɔn nipa, tee sɛ ɔhene no asunsuan ne ntade mu no, ɔde nkra kɔmaa no se, “Adɛn nti na woasunsuan wo ntade mu? Soma Naaman na ɔmmra me nkyɛn na obehu sɛ odiyifo papa bi wɔ Israel.”
Kwasekusithi lapho uElisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu esizwa ukuthi inkosi yakoIsrayeli idabule izigqoko zayo, wathumela enkosini esithi: Udabuleleni izigqoko zakho? Akeze kimi ukuze azi ukuthi kukhona umprofethi koIsrayeli.
9 Enti Naaman faa nʼapɔnkɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam, kɔtwɛn wɔ Elisa fi pon ano.
Ngakho uNamani weza lamabhiza akhe lenqola yakhe, wema emnyango wendlu kaElisha.
10 Na Elisa somaa ɔbɔfo kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔhohoro wo ho mpɛn ason wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu, na wo honam bɛba mu, ama wo kwata no akɔ.”
UElisha wasethuma isithunywa kuye esithi: Hamba uyegeza kasikhombisa eJordani, inyama yakho izabuyela kuwe, uhlambuluke.
11 Na Naaman bo fuwii, ma osii kwan so. Ɔkae se, “Na minim sɛ, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara no, ɔbɛba abehyia me! Na minim sɛ ebia, ɔde ne nsa bɛfa kwata no so, na wabɔ Awurade a, ɔyɛ ne Nyankopɔn no din, nam so asa me yare.
Kodwa uNamani wathukuthela, wahamba, wathi: Khangela, bengisithi uzaphuma sibili eze kimi, eme, abize ibizo leNkosi uNkulunkulu wakhe, ahambahambise isandla sakhe phezu kwendawo, aphilise umlephero.
12 Nsubɔnten Abana ne Parpar a ɛwɔ Damasko nsen nsubɔnten a ɛwɔ Israel nyinaa? Adɛn nti na menkɔhohoro me ho wɔ mu, na minnya ayaresa?” Enti Naaman dan ne ho de abufuw sii mu.
IAbana leFaripari imifula yeDamaseko kayingcono yini kulawo wonke amanzi akoIsrayeli? Bengingegeze kiyo ngihlambuluke yini? Wasetshibilika wahamba ngolaka oluvuthayo.
13 Nanso ne mpanyimfo bɔɔ mmɔden kasa kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, sɛ odiyifo no kaa se yɛ adwuma kɛse bi a, anka worenyɛ ana? Ɛno nti, tie asɛm a waka sɛ kɔhohoro wo ho kɛkɛ, na wo ho bɛtɔ wo no, na di so.”
Kodwa inceku zakhe zasondela zakhuluma laye zathi: Baba, aluba umprofethi ubekhulume lawe ulutho olukhulu, ubungayikulwenza yini? Pho, kakhulu kangakanani uba ethe kuwe: Geza uhlambuluke?
14 Enti Naaman kɔɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu, kɔdɔɔ asukɔ mpɛn ason, sɛnea Onyankopɔn nipa no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Ne honam ani daa hɔ te sɛ akokoaa, maa ne kwata no nyinaa kɔe.
Wasesehla, wazigxamuza eJordani kasikhombisa njengokwelizwi lomuntu kaNkulunkulu, lenyama yakhe yabuyela yafanana lenyama yomntwana omncinyane, wahlambuluka-ke.
15 Naaman ne ne dɔm no san kɔ kɔhwehwɛɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no akyi kwan. Wokogyinaa nʼanim, maa Naaman kae se, “Afei na mahu sɛ Onyankopɔn nni wiase ha baabiara sɛ Israel nko ara. Afei, mesrɛ wo sɛ, gye mʼakyɛde yi.”
Wasebuyela kumuntu kaNkulunkulu, yena lalo lonke ixuku lakhe, wafika wema phambi kwakhe, wathi: Khangela sengisazi ukuthi kakulaNkulunkulu emhlabeni wonke, ngaphandle kwakoIsrayeli; khathesi-ke ake wemukele isipho encekwini yakho.
16 Nanso Elisa buae se, “Mmere dodow a Onyankopɔn a mesom no te ase yi, merennye akyɛde biara.” Ɛwɔ mu sɛ Naaman hyɛɛ no biara sɛ onnye akyɛde no, nanso Elisa annye.
Kodwa wathi: Kuphila kukaJehova engimi phambi kwakhe, kangiyikuthatha lutho. Wasemncenga ukuthi athathe, kodwa wala.
17 Afei, Naaman kae se, “Eye, ɛno de, ma me kwan na memfa ha dɔte atifi abien nsoa me furumpɔnkɔ abien, na memfa nka me ho nkɔ me kurom. Efi nnɛ, Onyankopɔn akyi no, meremmɔ ɔhyew afɔre anaa afɔre biara mma onyame bi bio.
UNamani wasesithi: Uba kungenjalo, akunikwe inceku yakho umthwalo wembongolo ezimbili wenhlabathi. Ngoba inceku yakho kayisayikwenza umnikelo wokutshiswa lomhlatshelo kwabanye onkulunkulu, kodwa eNkosini.
18 Na mesrɛ sɛ, Awurade mfa saa bɔne yi nkyɛ me. Sɛ me wura ɔhene rekɔ Rimon abosomfi akɔsom, na misuso ne mu a, me nso mɛkotow nti, Awurade mfa eyi nkyɛ me.”
Kulinto iNkosi kayithethelele inceku yakho: Nxa inkosi yami ingena endlini kaRimoni ukukhonza lapho, yeyame esandleni sami, lami ngikhonze endlini kaRimoni, lapho ngikhonza endlini kaRimoni, iNkosi ake ithethelele inceku yakho kulinto.
19 Elisa kae se, “Kɔ asomdwoe mu.” Enti Naaman san sii kwan so.
Wasesithi kuye: Hamba ngokuthula. Wasesuka kuye ummango omfitshane.
20 Nanso Elisa somfo Gehasi kaa wɔ ne tirim se, “Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ me wura ma Aramni yi kɔ a wannye akyɛde yi. Mmere dodow a Awurade te ase yi, metiw no, na makogye biribi afi ne nkyɛn.”
Kodwa uGehazi inceku kaElisha umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi: Khangela, inkosi yami imyekele uNamani umSiriya lo ngokungemukeli esandleni sakhe lokho akulethileyo. Kuphila kukaJehova, ngizagijima ngimlandele, ngithathe kuye okuthile.
21 Enti Gehasi tiw no. Bere a Naaman huu no sɛ ɔde mmirika reba ne so no, osi fii ne teaseɛnam mu kohyiaa no. Naaman bisaa no se, “Wobaa no asomdwoe mu ana?”
UGehazi wasegijima wamlandela uNamani. Kwathi uNamani ebona ogijimayo emva kwakhe, wehla enqoleni ukuze amhlangabeze, wathi: Kulungile yini?
22 Gehasi buae se, “Yiw, nanso me wura asoma me sɛ memmɛka nkyerɛ wo se, mmabun baanu bi a wɔyɛ adiyifo a wofi Efraim kurow a ɛda bepɔw so no mu abedu mprempren ara. Ose ɔrehwehwɛ dwetɛ kiliogram aduasa anan ne ntade nsakramu abien de ama wɔn.”
Wasesithi: Kulungile. Inkosi yami ingithumile, isithi: Khangela, ngitsho khathesi kufikile kimi amajaha amabili evela entabeni yakoEfrayimi awamadodana abaprofethi; ake uwanike ithalenta lesiliva lezigqoko ezimbili zokuntshintsha.
23 Naaman kae se, “Ɛnyɛ asɛm a ɛyɛ den, gye dwetɛ kilogram aduasa anan yi.” Ɔmaa no ntade nsakramu abien, kyekyeree sika no wɔ nkotoku abien mu, yii asomfo baanu soaa akyɛde no, maa Gehasi.
UNamani wasesithi: Vuma, uthathe amathalenta amabili. Wasemcindezela, wabophela amathalenta amabili emigodleni emibili, lezembatho zokuntshintsha ezimbili, wakunika ababili benceku zakhe, bakuthwala phambi kwakhe.
24 Nanso woduu bepɔw no so no, Gehasi gyee akyɛde no fii asomfo no nkyɛn, ma wɔsan wɔn akyi kɔe. Afei, ɔde akyɛde no kosiee ofi no mu.
Esefike oqaqeni, wakuthatha esandleni sazo, wakubeka endlini; waseyekela amadoda ahamba, asesuka.
25 Bere a ɔkɔɔ ne wura Elisa nkyɛn no, obisaa no se, “Gehasi, wokɔɔ he?” Obuae se, “Menkɔɔ baabiara.”
Yena wasengena wema phambi kwenkosi yakhe; uElisha wasesithi kuye: Uvela ngaphi, Gehazi? Wasesithi: Inceku yakho ibingayanga le lale.
26 Nanso Elisa bisaa no se, “Woanhu sɛ bere a Naaman si fii ne teaseɛnam mu behyiaa wo no, na mewɔ hɔ honhom mu? Saa bere yi na ɛsɛ sɛ wugye sika ne ntade ne ngodua mfuw ne bobe mfuw ne nguan ne anantwi ne asomfo?
Wasesithi kuye: Inhliziyo yami ayihambanga yini lapho lowomuntu etshibilika enqoleni yakhe ukukuhlangabeza? Kuyisikhathi sokwemukela imali yini, lokwemukela izigqoko, lezivande zemihlwathi, lezivini, lezimvu, lezinkabi, lezinceku, lezincekukazi?
27 Nea woayɛ yi nti, wo ne wo mma ne wo mma mma bɛyare Naaman kwata no bi afebɔɔ.” Bere a Gehasi fii dan no mu no, na kwata ayɛ no a ne ho ahoa ayɛ sɛ sukyerɛmma.
Ngakho ubulephero bukaNamani buzanamathela kuwe lenzalweni yakho kuze kube nininini. Wasephuma ebukhoneni bakhe engumlephero emhlophe njengeliqhwa elikhithikileyo.
