2 Mga Hari 5

1Si Naaman nga, na punong kawal ng hukbo ng hari sa Siria, ay dakilang lalake sa kaniyang panginoon, at marangal, sapagka't sa pamamagitan niya'y nagbigay ang Panginoon ng pagtatagumpay sa Siria: siya rin nama'y malakas na lalake na may tapang, nguni't may ketong. 2At ang mga taga Siria ay nagsilabas na mga pulupulutong, at nagdala ng bihag na mula sa lupain ng Israel na isang dalagita; at siya'y naglingkod sa asawa ni Naaman. 3At sinabi niya sa kaniyang babaing panginoon. Mano nawa ang aking panginoon ay humarap sa propeta na nasa Samaria! kung magkagayo'y pagagalingin niya siya sa kaniyang ketong. 4At pumasok ang isa, at isinaysay sa kaniyang panginoon, na sinasabi, Ganito't ganito ang sabi ng dalagita na nagmula sa lupain ng Israel. 5At sinabi ng hari sa Siria, Yumaon ka, yumaon ka, at ako'y magpapadala ng sulat sa hari sa Israel. At siya'y yumaon, at nagdala siya ng sangpung talentong pilak, at anim na libong putol na ginto, at sangpung pangpalit na bihisan. 6At kaniyang dinala ang sulat sa hari sa Israel, na sinasabi, At pagka nga dumating sa iyo ang sulat na ito, ay talastasin mo na aking sinugo si Naaman na aking lingkod sa iyo, upang iyong pagalingin siya sa kaniyang ketong. 7At nangyari, nang mabasa ng hari sa Israel ang sulat, na kaniyang hinapak ang kaniyang suot at nagsabi, Ako ba'y Dios upang pumatay at bumuhay, na ang lalaking ito ay nagsugo sa akin upang pagalingin ito sa kaniyang ketong? nguni't talastasin mo, isinasamo ko sa iyo, at tingnan mo kung paanong siya'y humahanap ng dahilan laban sa akin. 8At nagkagayon, nang mabalitaan ni Eliseo na lalake ng Dios na hinapak ng hari sa Israel ang kaniyang suot, na siya'y nagsugo sa hari, na nagsabi: Bakit mo hinapak ang iyong mga kasuutan? paparituhin mo siya sa akin, at kaniyang malalaman na may isang propeta sa Israel. 9Sa gayo'y naparoon si Naaman na dala ang kaniyang mga kabayo at ang kaniyang mga karo, at tumayo sa pintuan ng bahay ni Eliseo. 10At si Eliseo ay nagsugo ng sugo sa kaniya, na nagsasabi, ikaw ay yumaon, at maligo sa Jordan na makapito, at ang iyong laman ay sasauli sa iyo, at ikaw ay magiging malinis. 11Nguni't si Naaman ay naginit, at umalis, at nagsabi, Narito, aking inakalang, walang pagsalang lalabasin niya ako, at tatayo, at tatawag sa pangalan ng Panginoon niyang Dios, at pagagalawgalawin ang kaniyang kamay sa kinaroroonan, at mapapawi ang ketong. 12Hindi ba ang Abana at ang Pharphar, na mga ilog ng Damasco, ay mainam kay sa lahat ng tubig sa Israel? hindi ba ako makapaliligo sa mga yaon, at maging malinis? Sa gayo'y pumihit siya at umalis sa paginit. 13At ang kaniyang mga lingkod ay nagsilapit, at nagsipagsalita sa kaniya, at nagsabi, Ama ko, kung ipinagawa sa iyo ng propeta ang anomang mahirap na bagay, hindi mo ba gagawin? gaano nga kung sabihin niya sa iyo, Ikaw ay maligo, at maging malinis? 14Nang magkagayo'y lumusong siya at sumugbong makapito sa Jordan, ayon sa sabi ng lalake ng Dios: at ang kaniyang laman ay nagsauling gaya ng laman ng isang munting bata, at siya'y naging malinis. 15At siya'y bumalik sa lalake ng Dios, siya at ang buong pulutong niya, at naparoon, at tumayo sa harap niya: at siya'y nagsabi, Narito ngayon, aking talastas na walang Dios sa buong lupa, kundi sa Israel: isinasamo ko ngayon sa iyo na tanggapin mo ang kaloob ng iyong lingkod. 16Nguni't kaniyang sinabi, Buhay ang Panginoon, na nakatayo ako sa harap niya, wala akong tatanggapin. At ipinilit niya sa kaniyang kunin; nguni't siya'y tumanggi. 17At sinabi ni Naaman, Kung hindi, isinasamo ko pa sa iyo, na bigyan ko ang iyong lingkod ng lupang mapapasan ng dalawang mula; sapagka't ang iyong lingkod buhat ngayon ay hindi maghahandog ng handog na susunugin o hain man sa ibang mga dios, kundi sa Panginoon. 18Sa bagay na ito'y patawarin nawa ng Panginoon ang iyong lingkod, pagka ang aking panginoon ay pumasok sa bahay ni Rimmon upang sumamba roon, at siya'y umagapay sa aking kamay, at ako'y yumukod sa bahay ni Rimmon, pagyukod ko sa bahay ni Rimmon, na patawarin nawa ng Panginoon ang iyong lingkod sa bagay na ito. 19At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ikaw ay yumaong payapa. Sa gayo'y nilisan niya siya ng may aguwat na kaunti. 20Nguni't si Giezi, na lingkod ni Eliseo na lalake ng Dios, ay nagsabi, Narito, pinalagpas ng aking panginoon ang Naamang ito na taga Siria, sa di pagtanggap sa kaniyang mga kamay ng kaniyang dala; buhay ang Panginoon, tatakbuhin ko siya, at kukuha ako ng anoman sa kaniya. 21Sa gayo'y sinundan ni Giezi si Naaman, at nang makita ni Naaman na isa'y humahabol sa kaniya, siya'y bumaba sa karo na sinalubong niya, at sinabi, Lahat ba'y mabuti? 22At kaniyang sinabi, Lahat ay mabuti. Sinugo ako ng aking panginoon, na sinabi, Narito, dumating sa akin ngayon mula sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim ang dalawang binata sa mga anak ng mga propeta: isinasamo ko sa iyo na bigyan mo sila ng isang talentong pilak, at dalawang pangpalit na bihisan. 23At sinabi ni Naaman, Matuwa ka, kunin mo ang dalawang talento. At ipinilit niya sa kaniya, at ibinalot ang dalawang talentong pilak sa dalawang supot, sangpu ng dalawang pangpalit na bihisan, at mga ipinasan sa dalawa sa kaniyang mga bataan; at dinala nila sa unahan niya. 24At nang siya'y dumating sa burol, kinuha niya sa kanilang kamay, at itinago niya sa bahay: at pinayaon niya ang mga lalake, at sila'y nagsiyaon. 25Nguni't siya'y pumasok at tumayo sa harap ng kaniyang panginoon. At sinabi ni Eliseo sa kaniya, Saan ka nanggaling Giezi? At kaniyang sinabi, Ang iyong lingkod ay walang pinaroonan. 26At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ba sumasa iyo ang aking puso nang ang lalake ay bumalik mula sa kaniyang karo na sinasalubong ka? panahon ba ng pagtanggap ng salapi, at pagtanggap ng bihisan, at ng mga olibohan, at ng mga ubasan, at ng mga tupa, at ng mga baka, at ng mga aliping lalake at babae? 27Ang ketong nga ni Naaman ay kakapit sa iyo, at sa iyong binhi magpakailan man. At siya'y umalis sa kaniyang harapan na may ketong na kasingputi ng niebe.

1Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Syria: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper. 2The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. 3She said to her mistress, “I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy.” 4Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, “The maiden who is from the land of Israel said this.” 5The king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing. 6He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “Now when this letter has come to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.” 7When 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 sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.” 8It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.” 11But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, “Behold, I thought, ‘He will 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 the leper.’ 12Aren’t Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them, and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage. 13His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean?’” 14Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 15He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, “See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.” 16But he said, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.” He urged him to take it; but he refused. 17Naaman said, “If not, then, please let two mules’ burden of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Yahweh. 18In this thing may Yahweh pardon your servant: when my master 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 thing.” 19He said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a little way. 20But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.” 21So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is all well?” 22He said, “All is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.’” 23Naaman said, “Be pleased to take two talents.” He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him. 24When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed. 25But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you come from, Gehazi?” He said, “Your servant went nowhere.” 26He said to him, “Didn’t my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants? 27Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your seed forever.” He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.

1Naaman nu, de krijgsoverste van den koning van Syrie, was een groot man voor het aangezicht zijns heren, en van hoog aanzien; want door hem had de HEERE den Syriers verlossing gegeven; zo was deze man een strijdbaar held, doch melaats. 2En er waren benden uit Syrie getogen, en hadden een kleine jonge dochter uit het land van Israel gevankelijk gebracht, die in den dienst der huisvrouw van Naaman was. 3Deze zeide tot haar vrouw: Och, of mijn heer ware voor het aangezicht van den profeet, die te Samaria is, dan zou hij hem van zijn melaatsheid ontledigen. 4Toen ging hij in en gaf het zijn heer te kennen, zeggende: Zo en zo heeft de jonge dochter gesproken, die uit het land van Israel is. 5Toen zeide de koning van Syrie: Ga heen, kom, en ik zal een brief aan den koning van Israel zenden. En hij ging heen, en nam in zijn hand tien talenten zilvers, en zes duizend sikkelen gouds, en tien wisselklederen. 6En hij bracht den brief tot den koning van Israel, zeggende: Zo wanneer nu deze brief tot u zal gekomen zijn, zie, ik heb mijn knecht Naaman tot u gezonden, dat gij hem ontledigt van zijn melaatsheid. 7En het geschiedde, als de koning van Israel den brief gelezen had, dat hij zijn klederen scheurde, en zeide: Ben ik dan God, om te doden en levend te maken, dat deze tot mij zendt, om een man van zijn melaatsheid te ontledigen? Want voorwaar, merkt toch, en ziet, dat hij oorzaak tegen mij zoekt. 8Maar het geschiedde, als Elisa, de man Gods, gehoord had, dat de koning van Israel zijn klederen gescheurd had, dat hij tot den koning zond, om te zeggen: Waarom hebt gij uw klederen gescheurd? Laat hem nu tot mij komen, zo zal hij weten, dat er een profeet in Israel is. 9Alzo kwam Naaman met zijn paarden en met zijn wagen, en stond voor de deur van het huis van Elisa. 10Toen zond Elisa tot hem een bode, zeggende: Ga heen en was u zevenmaal in de Jordaan, en uw vlees zal u wederkomen, en gij zult rein zijn. 11Maar Naaman werd zeer toornig, en toog weg, en zeide: Zie, ik zeide bij mijzelven: Hij zal zekerlijk uitkomen, en staan, en den Naam des HEEREN, Zijns Gods, aanroepen, en zijn hand over de plaats strijken, en den melaatse ontledigen. 12Zijn niet Abana en Farpar, de rivieren van Damaskus, beter dan alle wateren van Israel; zou ik mij in die niet kunnen wassen en rein worden? Zo wendde hij zich, en toog weg met grimmigheid. 13Toen traden zijn knechten toe, en spraken tot hem, en zeiden: Mijn vader, zo die profeet tot u een grote zaak gesproken had, zoudt gij ze niet gedaan hebben? Hoeveel te meer, naardien hij tot u gezegd heeft: Was u, en gij zult rein zijn? 14Zo klom hij af, en doopte zich in de Jordaan zevenmaal, naar het woord van den man Gods; en zijn vlees kwam weder, gelijk het vlees van een kleinen jongen; en hij werd rein. 15Toen keerde hij weder tot den man Gods, hij en zijn ganse heir, en kwam, en stond voor zijn aangezicht en zeide: Zie, nu weet ik, dat er geen God is op de ganse aarde, dan in Israel! Nu dan, neem toch een zegen van uw knecht. 16Maar hij zeide: Zo waarachtig als de HEERE leeft, voor Wiens aangezicht ik sta, indien ik het neme! En hij hield bij hem aan, opdat hij het nam, doch hij weigerde het. 17En Naaman zeide: Zo niet; laat toch uw knecht gegeven worden een last aarde van een juk muildieren; want uw knecht zal niet meer brandoffer of slachtoffer aan andere goden doen, maar den HEERE. 18In deze zaak vergeve de HEERE uw knecht: wanneer mijn heer in het huis van Rimmon zal gaan, om zich daar neder te buigen, en hij op mijn hand leunen zal en ik mij in het huis van Rimmon nederbuigen zal; als ik mij alzo nederbuigen zal in het huis van Rimmon, de HEERE vergeve toch uw knecht in deze zaak. 19En hij zeide tot hem: Ga in vrede. En hij ging van hem een kleine streek lands. 20Gehazi nu, de jongen van Elisa, den man Gods, zeide: Zie, mijn heer heeft Naaman, dien Syrier belet, dat men uit zijn hand niet genomen heeft, wat hij gebracht had; maar zo waarachtig als de HEERE leeft, ik zal hem nalopen, en zal wat van hem nemen! 21Zo volgde Gehazi Naaman achterna. En toen Naaman zag, dat hij hem naliep, viel hij van den wagen af, hem tegemoet, en hij zeide: Is het wel? 22En hij zeide: Het is wel; mijn heer heeft mij gezonden, om te zeggen: Zie, nu straks zijn tot mij twee jongelingen uit de zonen der profeten, van het gebergte van Efraim gekomen; geef hun toch een talent zilvers en twee wisselklederen. 23En Naaman zeide: Belieft het u, neem twee talenten. En hij hield aan bij hem, en bond twee talenten zilvers in twee buidels, met twee wisselklederen, en hij legde ze op twee van zijn jongens, die ze voor zijn aangezicht droegen. 24Als hij nu op de hoogte kwam, nam hij ze van hun hand, en bestelde ze in een huis; en hij liet de mannen gaan, en zij togen heen. 25Daarna kwam hij in, en stond voor zijn heer. En Elisa zeide tot hem: Van waar, Gehazi? En hij zeide: Uw knecht is noch herwaarts noch derwaarts gegaan. 26Maar hij zeide tot hem: Ging niet mijn hart mede, als die man zich omkeerde van op zijn wagen u tegemoet? Was het tijd, om dat zilver te nemen, en om klederen te nemen, en olijfbomen, en wijngaarden, en schapen, en runderen, en knechten, en dienstmaagden? 27Daarom zal u de melaatsheid van Naaman aankleven, en uw zaad in eeuwigheid! Toen ging hij uit van voor zijn aangezicht, melaats, wit als de sneeuw.
