1 And Naaman [the] commander of [the] army of [the] king of Aram he was a man great before master his and lifted up of face for by him he had given Yahweh victory to Aram and the man he was a mighty [man] of strength having a skin disease.

2 And Aram they had gone out marauding bands and they had taken captive from [the] land of Israel a girl young and she was before [the] wife of Naaman.

3 And she said to mistress her would that! master my [was] before the prophet who [is] in Samaria then he will deliver him from skin disease his.

4 And he went and he told to master his saying like this and like this she spoke the girl who [is] from [the] land of Israel.

5 And he said [the] king of Aram come go so let me send a letter to [the] king of Israel and he went and he took in hand his ten talents of silver and six thousand gold and ten changes of garments.

6 And he brought the letter to [the] king of Israel saying and now when comes the letter this to you here! I have sent to you Naaman servant my and you will deliver him from skin disease his.

7 And it was when read aloud [the] king of Israel the letter and he tore clothes his and he said ¿ God [am] I to kill and to restore to life that this [man] [is] sending to me to deliver a man from skin disease his that only consider please and see that [is] seeking an opportunity he to me.

8 And it was when heard - Elisha [the] man of God that he had torn [the] king of Israel clothes his and he sent to the king saying why? did you tear clothes your let him come please to me so he may know that there [is] a prophet in Israel.

9 And he came Naaman (with horses his *QK) and with chariot[s] his and he stood [the] entrance of the house of Elisha.

10 And he sent to him Elisha a messenger saying go and you will wash seven times in the Jordan and it may return flesh your to you and be clean.

11 And he was angry Naaman and he went and he said here! I said to myself - he will come out continuously and he will stand and he will call on [the] name of Yahweh God his and he will wave hand his to the place and he will deliver the [one] having a skin disease.

12 ¿ Not good ([are] Amana *QK) and Pharpar [the] rivers of Damascus more than all [the] waters of Israel ¿ not will I wash in them and I will be clean and he turned and he went in a rage.

13 And they drew near servants his and they spoke to him and they said would that a thing great the prophet he spoke to you ¿ not will you do [it] and indeed? if he has said to you wash and be clean.

14 And he went down and he dipped in the Jordan seven times according to [the] word of [the] man of God and it returned flesh his like [the] flesh of a lad young and he was clean.

15 And he went back to [the] man of God he and all camp his and he came and he stood before him and he said here! please I know that there not [is] a God in all the earth that except in Israel and now accept please a blessing from with servant your.

16 And he said [by] [the] life of Yahweh whom I stand before him if I will accept and he urged him to accept and he refused.

17 And he said Naaman and not let it be given please to servant your [the] load of a pair of mules earth for not he will offer again servant your burnt offering and sacrifice to gods other that except to Yahweh.

18 To the matter this may he forgive Yahweh servant your when goes master my [the] house of Rimmon to bow down there and he - [is] supporting himself on hand my and I will bow down [the] house of Rimmon when bow down I [the] house of Rimmon may he forgive Yahweh servant your in the matter this.

19 And he said to him go to peace and he went from with him a distance of land.

20 And he said Gehazi [the] servant of Elisha [the] man of God here! - he has restrained master my Naaman the Aramean this from accepting from hand his [that] which he brought [by] [the] life of Yahweh that except I run after him and I will accept from with him anything.

21 And he pursued Gehazi after Naaman and he saw Naaman [one who] ran after him and he fell from on the chariot to meet him and he said ¿ peace.

22 And he said - peace master my he has sent me saying here! now this they have come to me two young men from [the] hill country of Ephraim of [the] sons of the prophets give! please to them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.

23 And he said Naaman be willing accept two talents and he urged him and he secured two talents silver in two bags and two changes of garments and he gave [them] to two of servants his and they carried [them] before him.

24 And he came to the hill and he took [them] from hand their and he deposited [them] in the house and he sent away the men and they went.

25 And he he went and he stood to master his and he said to him Elisha (from whence? *QK) O Gehazi and he said not he has gone servant your where? and where?

26 And he said to him not heart my did it go? just when he turned a man from on chariot his to meet you ¿ a time to accept silver and to accept clothes and olive trees and vineyards and sheep and cattle and male servants and maidservants.
