< 2 Kings 5 >

1 Now was there one Naaman captaine of the hoste of the King of Aram, a great man, and honourable in the sight of his lorde, because that by him the Lord had deliuered the Aramites. He also was a mightie man and valiant, but a leper.
Pea ko Neamani, ko e ʻeiki pule ki ke kautau ʻoe tuʻi ʻo Silia, ko e tangata ia naʻe ʻeiki mo ongoongolelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene ʻeiki, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ʻiate ia, naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae fakamoʻui ki Silia: ko e tangata foki ia naʻe mālohi ʻaupito ʻi he tau, ka ko e kilia.
2 And the Aramites had gone out by bands, and had taken a litle mayde of the land of Israel, and shee serued Naamans wife.
Pea ʻi he ʻalu atu ʻae ngaahi kongakau ʻoe kakai Silia, naʻa nau ʻomi pōpula ha taʻahine siʻi mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli; pea naʻe tauhi ʻe ia ki he uaifi ʻo Neamani.
3 And she sayd vnto her mistres, Would God my lord were with the Prophet that is in Samaria, he would soone deliuer him of his leprosie.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene fineʻeiki, “Taumaiā kuo nofo ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki mo e palōfita ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Samēlia! he te ne fakamoʻui ia mei heʻene kilia.”
4 And he went in, and tolde his lorde, saying, Thus and thus saith the mayde that is of the land of Israel.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ange ʻae tokotaha, mo ne tala ki heʻene ʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē mo pehē ʻe he taʻahine ʻaia ʻoku mei he fonua ʻo ʻIsileli.”
5 And the King of Aram sayde, Goe thy way thither, and I will send a letter vnto the King of Israel. And he departed, and tooke with him ten talents of siluer, and sixe thousand pieces of golde, and ten change of rayments,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo Silia, “ʻOku lelei, ʻalu, pea te u ʻatu ha tohi ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.” Pea naʻa ne ʻalu, pea ne ʻave mo ia ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe hongofulu, mo e konga koula ʻe ono afe, mo e kofu kātoa ʻe hongofulu.
6 And brought the letter to the King of Israel to this effect, Now when this letter is come vnto thee, vnderstand, that I haue sent thee Naaman my seruant, that thou maiest heale him of his leprosie.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ʻae tohi ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Ko eni ʻoka hoko atu ʻae tohi ni kiate koe, vakai, kuo u fekau atu mo ia kiate koe ʻa Neamani ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, koeʻuhi ke ke fakamoʻui ia mei heʻene kilia.”
7 And when the King of Israel had read the letter, he rent his clothes, and sayde, Am I God, to kill and to giue life, that hee doth send to mee, that I should heale a man from his leprosie? wherfore consider, I pray you, and see howe he seeketh a quarel against me.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē hili ʻa ʻene lau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻae tohi, naʻa ne haehae ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, mo ne pehē, “He ko e ʻOtua au, ke tāmate mo fakamoʻui, kuo fekau ai ʻe he tangata ni ke u fakamoʻui ha tangata mei heʻene kilia? Ko ia mou vakai, pea mou tokanga ki heʻene kumi ha meʻa ke fakatupu ai ʻae kovi kiate au.”
8 But when Elisha the man of God had heard that the King of Israel had rent his clothes, hee sent vnto the King, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall knowe that there is a Prophet in Israel.
Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻe ʻIlaisa ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he haehae ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻa hono ngaahi kofu, naʻa ne fekau ai ki he tuʻi, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke haehae ai ho ngaahi kofu? Tuku ke ne haʻu kiate au, pea te ne ʻilo ʻoku ai ha palōfita ʻi ʻIsileli.”
9 Then Naaman came with his horses, and with his charets, and stoode at the doore of the house of Elisha.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻa Neamani mo ʻene fanga hoosi pea mo ʻene saliote, pea tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale ʻo ʻIlaisa.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger vnto him, saying, Go and wash thee in Iorden seuen times, and thy flesh shall come againe to thee, and thou shalt be clensed.
Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe ʻIlaisa ha tangata fekau kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo kaukau ʻi Sioatani ke liunga fitu, pea ʻe toe hoko mai ho kakano kiate koe, pea te ke maʻa ai.”
11 But Naaman was wroth and went away, and sayde, Beholde, I thought with my selfe, Hee will surely come out, and stande, and call on the Name of the Lord his God and put his hand on the place, and heale the leprosie.
Ka naʻe ʻita lahi ʻa Neamani, pea ʻalu ia, mo ne pehē, “Vakai, naʻaku pehē ʻeau, te ne ʻomi moʻoni kituʻa kiate au, pea tuʻu, ʻo ne ui ki he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, mo ne ala ʻaki ʻa hono nima ki he potu, mo ne fakamoʻui ai ʻae kilia.
12 Are not Abanah and Pharpar, riuers of Damascus, better then all the waters of Israel? may I not washe mee in them, and bee cleansed? so hee turned, and departed in displeasure.
‌ʻIkai ʻoku lelei hake ʻa ʻApana mo Paapaa ko e vaitafe ʻi Tamasikusi, ʻi he ngaahi vai kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli? ʻIkai te u faʻa kaukau ʻi ai, pea u maʻa ai? Ko ia, naʻa ne foki atu ʻo ʻalu ʻi he ʻita lahi.”
13 But his seruants came, and spake vnto him, and sayd, Father, if the Prophet had commanded thee a great thing, wouldest thou not haue done it? howe much rather then, when hee sayth to thee, Wash and be cleane?
Pea naʻe fakaofi atu ʻa ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, mo nau lea kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻEku tamai, ka ne tala ʻe he palōfita ke ke fai ha meʻa lahi, ʻikai kuo ke fai ia? Kae muʻa hake eni, ʻa ʻene pehē mai kiate koe, ‘Kaukau, pea te ke maʻa ai?’”
14 Then went he downe, and washed him selfe seuen times in Iorden, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came againe, like vnto ye flesh of a litle child, and he was cleane.
Pea naʻa ne toki ʻalu hifo, mo ne kaukau ia ʻo liunga fitu ʻi Sioatani, ʻo hangē ko e lea ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua: pea naʻe toe hoko mai kiate ia ʻa hono kakano, ʻo hangē ko e kakano ʻo ha tamasiʻi siʻi, pea naʻa ne maʻa ai.
15 And hee turned againe to the man of God, hee, and all his companie, and came and stood before him, and sayd, Behold, now I knowe that there is no God in all the world, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a reward of thy seruant.
Pea naʻa ne toe ʻalu ange ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia mo ʻene kau fononga kotoa pē, pea haʻu, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi hono ʻao: pea naʻa ne pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ou toki ʻilo eni ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻOtua ʻi māmani kotoa pē, ka ʻi ʻIsileli pe: pea ko ia ʻoku ou kole, ke ke maʻu ha meʻaʻofa mei hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.”
16 But hee sayde, As the Lord liueth (before whom I stand) I wil not receiue it. And he would haue constrained him to receiue it, but he refused.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻaia ʻoku ou tuʻu ni ʻi hono ʻao, pea ʻe ʻikai te u maʻu ha meʻa. Pea naʻa ne kole fakamātoato ke ne maʻu ia; ka naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki ai.”
17 Moreouer Naaman sayde, Shall there not be giuen to thy seruant two mules loade of this earth? for thy seruant will henceforth offer neither burnt sacrifice nor offring vnto any other god, saue vnto the Lord.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Neamani, “Pea ka kuo pehē, ʻoku ou kole ai ke ʻomi ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ha kavenga ʻe ua ʻoe kelekele ke fakaheka ki ha miuli ʻe ua? Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai siʻi toe ʻatu ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ha feilaulau tutu, pe ha feilaulau ki ha ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ka kia Sihova pe.”
18 Herein the Lord bee mercifull vnto thy seruant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon, to worship there, and leaneth on mine hand, and I bowe my selfe in the house of Rimmon: when I doe bowe downe, I say, in the house of Rimmon, the Lord be mercifull vnto thy seruant in this point.
“Ke fakamolemole ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he meʻa ko eni, ʻoka hū atu ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ki he fale ʻo Limoni ke lotu ai, pea ʻoku ne faʻaki ki hoku nima, pea ʻoku ou punou hifo ʻi he fale ʻo Limoni: ʻo kau ka punou hifo au ʻi he fale ʻo Limoni, ke fakamolemole ʻe Sihova ʻa hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ʻi he meʻa ni.”
19 Vnto whome he saide, Goe in peace. So he departed from him about halfe a dayes iourney of grounde.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ke ke ʻalu ʻi he fiemālie.” Pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo mamaʻo siʻi mei he potu ko ia.
20 And Gehazi the seruant of Elisha the man of God sayde, Beholde, my master hath spared this Aramite Naaman, receiuing not those things at his hand that he brought: as the Lord liueth, I will runne after him, and take somewhat of him.
Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Kehesi ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa ʻIlaisa ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Vakai, kuo mamae ʻa ʻeku ʻeiki ki he tangata Silia ni ko Neamani, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene taʻemaʻu mei hono nima ʻae meʻa naʻa ne ʻomi: kae hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova, te u lele atu kiate ia, ʻo maʻu ha meʻa meiate ia.”
21 So Gehazi followed speedily after Naaman. And when Naaman sawe him running after him, he light downe from the charet to meete him, and said, Is all well?
Ko ia naʻe muimui atu ʻa Kehesi kia Neamani. Pea ʻi he sio ʻa Neamani ki heʻene lele mai kiate ia, naʻa ne ʻalu hifo mei heʻene saliote ke fetaulaki kiate ia mo ne pehē, “ʻOku lelei kotoa pē?”
22 And he answered, All is well: my master hath set me, saying, Behold, there be come to me, euen nowe from mount Ephraim two yong men of the children of the Prophets: giue them, I pray thee, a talent of siluer, and two change of garmets.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻOku lelei kotoa pē. Kuo fekau au ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki, ke fakahā, Vakai, kuo haʻu eni kiate au mei he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi ʻae ongo talavou mei he ngaahi foha ʻoe kau palōfita: pea ʻoku ou kole ke ke foaki kiate kinaua, ha taleniti siliva ʻe taha, mo e ngaahi kofu kātoa ʻe ua.”
23 And Naaman saide, Yea, take two talents: and he compelled him, and bound two talents of siluer in two bagges, with two change of garments, and gaue them vnto two of his seruants, that they might beare them before him.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Neamani, “Ke ke fiemālie pe, ʻave ʻae taleniti ʻe ua.” Pea naʻa ne ueʻi mālohi ia, pea naʻa ne noʻotaki ʻae taleniti siliva ʻe ua ki he kato ʻe ua, mo e ngaahi kofu kātoa ʻe ua, pea naʻa ne ʻai ia ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ʻe toko ua; pea naʻa na fua atu ia ʻi hono ʻao.
24 And when he came to the towre, he tooke them out of their handes, and laide them in the house, and sent away the men: and they departed.
Pea ʻi heʻene hoko atu ki he fale leʻo, naʻa ne toʻo ia mei hona nima, mo ne ʻai atu ia ki fale: pea naʻa ne tukuange ʻae ongo tangata ke ʻalu, pea naʻa na ʻalu.
25 Then he went in, and stoode before his master. And Elisha said vnto him, Whence commest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy seruant went no whither.
Ka naʻe hū atu ia [ki fale], mo ne tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene ʻeiki. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisa kiate ia, “Kuo ke haʻu mei fē Kehesi?” Pea naʻa ne pehē ʻe ia, naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hoʻo tamaioʻeiki ki ha potu.
26 But he saide vnto him, Went not mine heart with thee when the man turned againe from his charet to meete thee? Is this a time to take money, and to receiue garments, and oliues, and vineyardes, and sheepe, and oxen, and men seruants, and maide seruants?
Pea naʻa ne pehēange kiate ia, “ʻIkai naʻe ʻalu ʻa hoku loto mo koe, ʻi heʻene tafoki mai ʻae tangata mei hono saliote ke fakafetaulaki kiate koe? He ko e kuonga eni ke maʻu kofu, mo e ngoue ʻolive, mo e ngoue vaine, mo e fanga sipi, mo e fanga pulu, mo e kau tamaioʻeiki, mo e kau kaunanga?
27 The leprosie therefore of Naaman shall cleaue vnto thee, and to thy seede for euer. And he went out from his presence a leper white as snowe.
Ko ia foki, ʻe piki kiate koe ʻae kilia naʻe ʻia Neamani, pea ki ho hako ʻo taʻengata.” Pea naʻa ne ʻalu atu mei hono ʻao ko e kilia ʻo tatau mo e ʻuha hinehina.
