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.

Now, Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man in presence of his lord, and held in honour, because, by him, had Yahweh given deliverance to Syria, —and, the man, was a hero of valour—[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, the Syrians, had gone out in companies, and had brought back out of the land of Israel, a little maiden, —who became an attendant on 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 unto her mistress, Ah! would that my lord were before the prophet, who is in Samaria! then, would he set him free from his leprosy.

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

And he went in and told his lord, saying, —Thus and thus, hath spoken the maiden who is of the land of Israel!

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—Go, get in, that I may send a letter unto the king of Israel. So he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

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 in the letter unto the king of Israel, saying, Now, therefore, when this letter cometh in unto thee, lo! I have sent unto thee, Naaman my servant, and thou shalt set him free from 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 it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am, I, God, to kill and to make alive, that, this, man is sending unto me, to set one free from his leprosy, —but, of a truth, just mark, I pray you, and see, that he, is seeking an occasion, 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 it was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent unto the king, saying—Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come, I pray thee, unto me, that he may get to 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.

So Naaman came, with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the entrance 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 unto him, saying, —Go and bathe seven times in the Jordan, so shall thy flesh come back to thee, and be thou 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.

But Naaman was wroth, and went away, —and said—Lo! I thought, Unto me, will he, come right out, and take his stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand towards the spot, and so set free the leper.

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

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’!”

Then drew near his servants, and spake unto him, and said—My father! if, some great thing, the prophet had commanded thee, wouldst thou not have done it? then, how much rather, when he hath said unto thee, Bathe and 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.

Then went he down, and dipped himself in the Jordan, seven times, according to the word of the man of God: and his flesh came back, as the flesh of a little child, and he was 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 he returned unto the man of God, he and all his company; and came, and took his stand before him, and said—Lo! I pray thee—I know that there is no God in all the earth, save in Israel, —now, therefore, I pray thee, accept a blessing from thy 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 said—By the life of Yahweh, before whom I stand, I will not accept one. And, though he urged him to accept it, yet did he refuse.

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.

Then said Naaman, Shall there not, then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant, two mules’ burden of earth? For thy servant will henceforth offer neither ascending-offering nor sacrifice to other gods, save only to Yahweh.

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.”

In this thing, Yahweh grant forgiveness to thy servant, —When my lord entereth the house of Rimmon, to bow down therein, he leaning upon my hand, and so I bow down in the house of Rimmon, when he boweth down in the house of Rimmon, Yahweh, I pray, grant forgiveness to thy servant, in this thing.

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

And he said unto him—Go and prosper! But, when he had gone from him some distance,

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.”

Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said—Lo! my lord, hath restrained, this Naaman the Syrian, by not taking at his hand that which he brought! By the life of Yahweh, verily, I will runs after him, and accept of him, something.

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.

So Gehazi hastened after Naaman. And, when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from his chariot to meet him, and 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, All is well. My lord, hath sent me to say, Lo! just now, have come unto me, two young men out of the hill country of Ephraim, of the sons of the prophets, —give for them, I pray thee, a talent, of silver, and two changes of raiment.

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, Be content, accept two talents. So he urged him, and bound up two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his young men, and they bare 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 he came to the hill-tower, he took them from their hand, and put them in charge within, —and let the men go, and they departed.

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.

Now, when, he, came in and stood before his lord, Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, —Thy servant hath been neither hither nor thither.

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?

Then he said unto him—My heart, had not gone with thee, when someone turned again from off his chariot, to meet thee! Is it a time to accept silver, or to accept raiment, or oliveyards, or vineyards, or flocks or herds, or men-servants, or maid-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.

The leprosy of Naaman, therefore, shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed, to times age-abiding. And he went forth from before him—a leper—like snow.
