2 Kings 5

1 Naamani jẹ́ olórí ogun ọba Aramu. Ó jẹ́ ènìyàn ńlá níwájú ọ̀gá rẹ̀, wọ́n sì bu ọlá fún un, nítorí nípasẹ̀ rẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti fi ìṣẹ́gun fún Aramu. Òun jẹ́ alágbára, akọni ọkùnrin ṣùgbọ́n, ó dẹ́tẹ̀.

Naaman, the leader of the military of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man with his lord. For through him the Lord gave salvation to Syria. And he was a strong and rich man, but a leper.

2 Nísinsin yìí ẹgbẹgbẹ́ láti Aramu ti jáde lọ láti mú ọmọ obìnrin kékeré kan ní ìgbèkùn láti Israẹli, ó sì sin ìyàwó Naamani.

Now robbers had gone out from Syria, and they had led away captive, from the land of Israel, a little girl. And she was in the service of the wife of Naaman.

3 Ó sọ fún ọ̀gá rẹ̀ obìnrin pé, “Tí ó bá jẹ́ wí pé ọ̀gá mi lè rí wòlíì tí ó wà ní Samaria! Yóò wò ó sàn kúrò nínú ẹ̀tẹ̀ rẹ̀.”

And she said to her lady: “I wish that my lord had been with the prophet who is in Samaria. Certainly, he would have cured him of the leprosy that he has.”

4 Naamani lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀gá rẹ̀ ó sì wí fún un ohun tí ọmọbìnrin Israẹli ti sọ.

And so, Naaman entered to his lord, and he reported to him, saying: “The girl from the land of Israel spoke in such a manner.”

5 “Ní gbogbo ọ̀nà, lọ,” ọba Aramu dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi yóò fi ìwé ránṣẹ́ sí ọba Israẹli.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Naamani lọ, ó sì mú pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà mẹ́wàá, ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́fà ìwọ̀n wúrà àti ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ mẹ́wàá.

And the king of Syria said to him, “Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” And when he had set out, he had taken with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand gold coins, and ten changes of fine clothing.

6 Ìwé tí ó mú lọ sọ́dọ̀ ọba Israẹli kà pé, “Pẹ̀lú ìwé yìí èmi ń rán ìránṣẹ́ mi Naamani sí ọ pé o lè wò ó sàn kúrò nínú ẹ̀tẹ̀ rẹ̀.”

And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: “When you will receive this letter, know that I have sent to you my servant, Naaman, so that you may heal him of his leprosy.”

7 Bí ọba Israẹli ti ka ìwé náà ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya, ó sì wí pé, “Èmi ha jẹ́ Ọlọ́run? Ǹjẹ́ èmi le pa kí n sì mú wá sí ààyè padà? Kí ni ó dé tí eléyìí rán ènìyàn sí mi láti wo ààrùn ẹ̀tẹ̀ rẹ sàn, kí ẹ wo bí ó ti ń wá ọ̀nà láti wá ìjà pẹ̀lú mi!”

And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his garments, and he said: “Am I God, so that I could take or give life, or so that this man would send to me to cure a man from his leprosy? Take notice and see that he is seeking occasions against me.”

8 Nígbà tí Eliṣa ènìyàn Ọlọ́run gbọ́ pé ọba Israẹli ti ya aṣọ rẹ̀, ó sì rán iṣẹ́ yìí sí i pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí o fi fa aṣọ rẹ ya? Jẹ́ kí ọkùnrin náà wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi. Òun yóò sì mọ̀ pé wòlíì wà ní Israẹli.”

And when Elisha, the man of God, had heard this, specifically, that the king of Israel had torn his garments, he sent to him, saying: “Why have you torn your garments? Let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.”

9 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Naamani sì lọ pẹ̀lú ẹṣin rẹ̀ àti kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ ó sì dúró ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé Eliṣa.

Therefore, Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots, and he stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

10 Eliṣa rán ìránṣẹ́ láti lọ sọ fún un pé, “Lọ, wẹ̀ ara rẹ ní ìgbà méje ní odò Jordani, ẹran-ara rẹ yóò sì tún padà bọ̀ sípò, ìwọ yóò sì mọ́.”

And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will receive health, and you will be clean.”

11 Ṣùgbọ́n Naamani lọ pẹ̀lú ìbínú ó sì wí pé, “Mo lérò pé yóò sì dìde jáde wá nítòótọ́ sí mi, yóò sì pe orúkọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run, fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lórí ibẹ̀ kí ó sì wo ẹ̀tẹ̀ mi sàn.

And becoming angry, Naaman went away, saying: “I thought that he would have come out to me, and, standing, would have invoked the name of the Lord, his God, and that he would have touched the place of the leprosy with his hand, and so have healed me.

12 Abana àti Fapari, odò Damasku kò ha dára ju gbogbo omi Israẹli lọ? Ṣé èmi kò le wẹ̀ nínú wọn kí n sì mọ́?” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó yípadà, ó sì lọ pẹ̀lú ìrunú.

Are not the Abana and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, so that I might wash in them and be cleansed?” But then, after he had turned himself away and was leaving with indignation,

13 Ìránṣẹ́ Naamani lọ sọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ ó sì wí pé, “Baba mi, tí wòlíì bá ti sọ fún ọ láti ṣe ohun ńlá kan, ṣé ìwọ kì bá ti ṣe, mélòó mélòó nígbà náà, nígbà tí ó sọ fún ọ pé, ‘Wẹ̀ kí o sì mọ́’!”

his servants approached him, and they said to him: “If the prophet had told you, father, to do something great, certainly you ought to have done it. How much more so, now that he has said to you: ‘Wash, and you will be clean?’”

14 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ ó sì tẹ ara rẹ̀ bọ inú odò Jordani ní ìgbà méje, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ti sọ fún un, ẹran-ara rẹ̀ sì tún padà sí mímọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọmọkùnrin kékeré.

So he descended and washed in the Jordan seven times, in accord with the word of the man of God. And his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child. And he was made clean.

15 Nígbà náà Naamani àti gbogbo àwọn ìránṣẹ́ padà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run. Ó sì dúró níwájú rẹ̀ ó sì wí pé, “Nísinsin yìí èmi mọ̀ pé kò sí Ọlọ́run ní gbogbo àgbáyé àyàfi ní Israẹli nìkan. Jọ̀wọ́ gba ẹ̀bùn láti ọwọ́ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ.”

And returning to the man of God, with his entire retinue, he arrived, and stood before him, and he said: “Truly, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, except in Israel. And so I beg you to accept a blessing from your servant.”

16 Wòlíì náà dáhùn pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè, ẹni tí mo ń sìn, èmi kò nígbà ohun kan,” bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé Naamani rọ̀ ọ́ láti gbà á, ó kọ̀.

But he responded, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not accept it.” And though he urged him strongly, he did not agree at all.

17 Naamani wí pé, “Tí o kò bá nígbà, jọ̀wọ́ jẹ́ kí a fi fún èmi ìránṣẹ́ rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀pọ̀ ẹrù erùpẹ̀ tí ìbáaka méjì le rù, nítorí láti òní lọ ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kì yóò rú ẹbọ sísun àti rú ẹbọ sí ọ̀kan lára àwọn ọlọ́run mìíràn mọ́ bí kò ṣe sí Olúwa.

And Naaman said: “As you wish. But I beg you to grant to me, your servant, that I may take from here the burden of two mules from the ground. For your servant will no longer offer holocaust or victim to other gods, except to the Lord.

18 Ṣùgbọ́n kí Olúwa kí ó dáríjì ìránṣẹ́ rẹ fún nǹkan yìí. Nígbà tí ọ̀gá mi wọ inú ilé Rimoni láti fi orí balẹ̀ tí ó sì fi ara ti ọwọ́ mi tí mo sì tẹ ara mi ba pẹ̀lú níbẹ̀. Nígbà tí èmi tẹ ara mi ba ní ilé Rimoni, kí Olúwa dáríjì ìránṣẹ́ rẹ fún èyí.”

But there is still this matter, for which you will entreat the Lord on behalf of your servant: when my lord enters the temple of Rimmon, so that he may adore there, and he leans on my hand, if I will bow down in the temple of Rimmon, while he is adoring in the same place, that the Lord may ignore me, your servant, concerning this matter.”

19 Eliṣa wí pé, “Máa lọ ní àlàáfíà.” Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Naamani tí rin ìrìnàjò tí ó jìnnà,

And he said to him, “Go in peace.” Then he went away from him, in the elect time of the earth.

20 Gehasi, ìránṣẹ́ Eliṣa ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, ó wí fún ara rẹ̀ pé, “Ọ̀gá mi jẹ́ ẹni tí ó rọ́nú lórí Naamani, ará Aramu, nípa pé kò gba ohunkóhun ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀ ohun tí ó mú wá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti ń bẹ láààyè, èmi yóò sá tẹ̀lé e èmi yóò sì gba ohun kan ní ọwọ́ rẹ̀.”

And Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, said: “My lord has spared Naaman, this Syrian, by not receiving from him what he brought. As the Lord lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”

21 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Gehasi sáré tẹ̀lé Naamani. Nígbà tí Naamani rí i tí ó ń sáré tẹ̀lé e, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ lórí kẹ̀kẹ́ láti pàdé rẹ̀. “Ṣé gbogbo nǹkan wà dáradára?” ó béèrè.

And so, Gehazi followed after the back of Naaman. And when he had seen him running toward him, he leaped down from his chariot to meet him, and he said, “Is all well?”

22 “Gbogbo nǹkan wà dáradára,” Gehasi dá a lóhùn. “Ọ̀gá mi rán mi láti sọ wí pé, ‘Àwọn ọ̀dọ́ ọmọkùnrin méjì láti ọ̀dọ̀ ọmọ wòlíì wọ́n ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi láti orí òkè ìlú ti Efraimu. Jọ̀wọ́ fún wọn ní ẹ̀bùn fàdákà àti ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ méjì.’”

And he said: “It is well. My lord has sent me to you, saying: ‘Just now two youths from the sons of the prophets have come to me from mount Ephraim. Give them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing.’”

23 Naamani wí pé, “Ní gbogbo ọ̀nà, mú ẹ̀bùn méjì.” Ó sì rọ Gehasi láti gbà wọ́n, ó sì di ẹ̀bùn méjì náà ti fàdákà ní inú àpò méjì, pẹ̀lú ìpààrọ̀ aṣọ méjì, ó sì fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ méjì, wọ́n sì kó wọn lọ sọ́dọ̀ Gehasi.

And Naaman said, “It is better that you accept two talents.” And he urged him, and he bound the two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing. And he set them upon two of his servants, who carried them before him.

24 Nígbà tí Gehasi sì dé ibi ilé ìṣọ́, ó gbà wọ́n lọ́wọ́ wọn, ó sì tó wọ́n sínú ilé, ó sì jọ̀wọ́ àwọn ọkùnrin náà lọ́wọ́ lọ, wọ́n sì jáde lọ.

And when now he had arrived in the evening, he took them from their hands, and he stored them in the house. And he dismissed the men, and they went away.

25 Nígbà náà ó sì wọlé wá ó sì dúró níwájú ọ̀gá rẹ̀ Eliṣa. “Níbo ni o ti wà Gehasi?” Eliṣa béèrè. “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ kò lọ sí ibìkan kan.” Gehasi dá a lóhùn.

Then, having entered, he stood before his lord. And Elisha said, “Where are you coming from, Gehazi?” He responded, “Your servant did not go anywhere.”

26 Ṣùgbọ́n Eliṣa wí fún un pé, “Ẹ̀mí mi kò ha wà pẹ̀lú rẹ nígbà tí ọkùnrin náà sọ̀kalẹ̀ lórí kẹ̀kẹ́ láti pàdé rẹ? Ṣé àsìkò tí ó yẹ láti gba owó nìyìí, tàbí láti gba aṣọ, ọgbà olifi, ọgbà àjàrà, àgùntàn, màlúù tàbí ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin?

But he said: “Was my heart not present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? And now you have received money, and you have received garments, so that you might buy olive groves, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men and women servants.

27 Ẹ̀tẹ̀ Naamani yóò lẹ̀ mọ́ ọ àti sí irú-ọmọ rẹ títí láé.” Nígbà náà Gehasi kúrò níwájú Eliṣa, ó sì di adẹ́tẹ̀, ó sì funfun gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀gbọ̀n òwú.

So then, the leprosy of Naaman shall adhere to you, and to your offspring forever.” And he departed from him a leper, as white as snow.
