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, commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great and honorable man in his master's view, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Aram. He was also a strong, courageous man, but he was 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.

The Arameans had gone out raiding in bands and had taken a little girl from the land of Israel. She served Naaman's wife.

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.”

The girl said to her mistress, “I wish that my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal my master of his leprosy.”

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

So Naaman went in and told the king what the little girl from the land of Israel had said.

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.

So the king of Aram said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” Naaman left and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothes.

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.”

He also took the letter to the king of Israel that said, “Now when this letter is brought to you, you will see that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, so that you may cure 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!”

When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man wants me to cure a man of his leprosy? It seems he is seeking to start an argument with 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.”

So when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent word to the king saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he will 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 chariots and stood at the door of Elisha's house.

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.”

Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and dip yourself into the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored; 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.

But Naaman was angry and went away and said, “Look, I thought he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place and heal my leprosy.

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, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Can 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 Naaman's servants came near and spoke to him, “My father, if the prophet had commanded you do some difficult thing, would you not have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you to simply, 'Dip yourself 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 he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, obeying the instructions of the man of God. His flesh was restored again like the flesh of a little child, and he was healed.

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.”

Naaman returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him. He said, “Look, now I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. So therefore, please take a gift 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 Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” Naaman urged Elisha to take a gift, but he refused.

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.

So Naaman said, “If not, then I ask you to let there be given to your servant two mule loads of earth, for from now on, your servant will offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to any god but 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 one thing may Yahweh pardon your servant, that is, when my king goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may Yahweh pardon your servant in this matter.”

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

Elisha said to him, “Go in peace.” So Naaman left.

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.”

He had traveled only a short distance, when Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God said to himself, “Look, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean by not receiving from his hands gifts that he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him and receive 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.

So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he jumped down from his chariot to meet him and said, “Is everything alright?”

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.’”

Gehazi said, “Everything is alright. My master has sent me, saying, 'See, now there have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes.'”

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.

Naaman replied, “I am very happy to give you two talents.” Naaman urged Gehazi and tied two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothes, and laid them on two of his servants, who carried the bags of silver before Gehazi.

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.

When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the bags of silver from their hands and hid them in the house; he sent the men away, and they left.

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.

When Gehazi went in and stood before his master, Elisha said to him, “Where have you come from, Gehazi?” He answered, “Your servant went nowhere.”

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?

Elisha said to Gehazi, “Was not my spirit with you when the man turned his chariot to meet you? Is this a time to accept money and clothes, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, and male servants and female 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 the leprosy of Naaman will be on you and your descendants forever.” So Gehazi went out from his presence, a leper as white as snow.
