2 Kingi 5

1 Na, ko Naamana, ko te rangatira ope a te kingi o Hiria, he tangata nui i te aroaro o tona ariki, e whakanuia ana hoki, no te mea i waiho ia e Ihowa hei kaihomai i te wikitoria ki a Hiria: he tangata marohirohi ano ia, he toa, otiia he repera.

And Na'aman, the captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man before his Lord, and highly honored; because by him had the Lord given victory unto Syria: and this man was valiant in war, [but] a leper.

2 Na i haere atu nga torohe a nga Hiriani, a riro parau ana mai i a ratou tetahi kotiro iti i te whenua o Iharaira; na ka waiho ia hei mahi ki te wahine a Naamana.

And the Syrians had gone out in predatory troops, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Na'aman's wife.

3 Na ka mea tera ki tona rangatira, Aue! me i tata toku ariki ki te poropiti i Hamaria ra! katahi ano he kaiwhakaora mo tona repera.

And she said unto her mistress, Oh that my Lord were but before the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he heal him of his leprosy.

4 Na kua haere tetahi, kua korero ki tona ariki, kua mea, Anei nga korero a te kotiro o te whenua o Iharaira.

And he went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus hath spoken the maiden that is from the land of Israel.

5 Na ka mea te kingi o Hiria, Haere mai, haere, me tuku pukapuka ahau ki te kingi o Iharaira. Na haere ana ia, maua ana hoki i tona ringa tekau nga taranata hiriwa, e ono mano nga hekere koura, tekau nga whakarua kakahu.

And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of garments.

6 Na kawea ana e ia te pukapuka ki te kingi o Iharaira; ko te korero tenei, Ka tae atu tenei pukapuka ki a koe, na, kua unga atu e ahau taku tangata a Naamana ki a koe, kia whakaorangia e koe tona repera.

And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, And now when this letter cometh unto thee, behold, I have sent to thee Na'aman my servant, that thou mayest heal him of his leprosy.

7 A, i te korerotanga a te kingi o Iharaira i te pukapuka, ka haea e ia ona kakahu, ka mea, He atua ianei ahau hei whakamate, hei whakaora, i tono mai ai tenei tangata ki ahau kia whakaorangia te repera o te tangata? Na kia mohio koutou, kia kite, e rapu ana ia he take riri ki ahau.

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this one doth send unto me to heal a man of his leprosy? for know to a certainty, I pray you, and see that he but seeketh a quarrel against me.

8 A, no te rongonga o Eriha tangata a te Atua kua haea e te kingi o Iharaira ona kakahu, na ka unga tangata ia ki te kingi hei mea, He aha i haea ai e koe ou kakahu? me haere mai ia ki ahau inaianei, a ka mohio ia he poropiti tenei kei a Iharaira.

And it happened, when Elisha' the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him but come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

9 Heoi haere ana mai a Naamana, me ana hoiho, me ana hariata, a tu ana i te tatau o te whare o Eriha.

And Na'aman came with his horses and with his chariot, and remained at the door of the house of Elisha'.

10 Na ka unga he tangata e Eriha ki a ia hei mea, Haere, kia whitu nga horoinga ki Horano, a ka hoki ou kikokiko ki a koe, ka ma koe.

And Elisha' sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and bathe seven times in the Jordan, and thy flesh shall be restored [healthy] to thee, and thou shalt become clean.

11 Otira ka riri a Naamana, ka haere, ka mea, Nana, i mahara ahau, Tera ia e puta mai ki ahau, e tu, e karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua, ka whakahaere hoki i tona ringa ki runga ki te wahi, a ka whakaorangia te repera.

But Na'aman became wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I had thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and swing his hand over the place, and heal the leper.

12 Ehara ianei a Apana, a Parapara, nga awa o Ramahiku, i te pai atu i nga wai katoa o Iharaira? kaua ianei ahau e horoi ki era, kia ma ai ahau? Heoi tahuri ana ia, a haere riri ana.

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

13 Na ka whakatata mai ana tangata, ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, E toku papa, mehemea te poropiti i whai kupu ki a koe kia meatia tetahi mea nui, e kore ianei e meatia e koe? Na tera noa ake ranei i a ia ka ki mai ki a koe, Horoi, kia ma ai?

And his servants came near, and spoke unto him, and they said, My father, if the prophet had bidden thee a great thing, wouldst thou not do it? how much rather then, when he hath said to thee, Bathe, and become clean?

14 Katahi ia ka haere ki raro, a ka rukuruku i a ia, e whitu nga rukuhanga ki Horano, pera me ta te tangata a te Atua i korero ai; a hoki ana ona kikokiko, ano he kikokiko no te tamaiti nohinohi, a kua ma ia.

Then went he down, and dived seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God: and his flesh was restored [healthy] like the flesh of a little boy, and he became clean.

15 Na hoki ana ia ki te tangata a te Atua, a ia me tana huihui katoa, a ka tae, ka tu i mua i a ia: a ka mea ia, Nana, katahi ahau ka mohio, kahore he Atua i te whenua katoa, kei a Iharaira anake: na, tena, kia tangohia e koe tetahi manaakitanga a tau pononga.

And he returned to the man of God, he with all his camp, and came and stood before him, and said, Behold, now I know that there is no god on all the earth, but in Israel; and now, I pray thee, take a present from thy servant.

16 Ano ra ko tera, E ora ana a Ihowa, kei tona aroaro nei ahau e tu ana, e kore e tangohia e ahau. Na tohe ana tera ki a ia kia tangohia; otiia whakakahore tonu ia.

But he said, As the Lord liveth before whom I have stood, I will take none: and he urged him to take it; but he refused.

17 Ano ra ko Naamana, Ki te kahore, kati me homai ki tau pononga he oneone, kia rite ki te kawenga ma nga muera e rua; e kore hoki tau pononga e mea i te tahunga tinana, i te patunga tapu ranei a mui ake ma teahi atau ke, engari ma Ihowa.

And Na'aman said, If [thou wilt] not, [then] let there be given, I pray thee, unto thy servant two mules' burden of earth; for thy servant will not offer henceforth either burnt-offering or peace-sacrifice unto other gods, except unto the Lord.

18 Ma Ihowa e whakarere noa te hara o tau pononga i tenei mea; ara ina haere toku ariki ki te whare o Rimono ki te koropiko i reira, a ka whirinaki mai ia ki toku ringa, a ka koropiko ahau i roto i te whare o Rimono: ka koropiko ahau i roto i te wh are o Rimono, me whakarere noa iho e Ihowa te hara o tenei mea a tau pononga

For this thing may the Lord pardon thy servant, that when my Lord goeth into the house of Rimmon to prostrate himself there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I prostrate myself also in the house of Rimmon: when I prostrate myself in the house of Rimmon, may the Lord pardon thy servant for this thing.

19 Ano ra ko tera ki a ia, Haere marie. Na mawehe atu ana ia i a ia he wahi iti nei.

And he said unto him, Go in peace: so he departed from him some distance.

20 Otira ka mea a Kehati, te kaimahi a Eriha tangata a te Atua, Na, kua ata hanga toku ariki ki tenei Naamana Hiriani, kihai nei i tango i tona ringa i nga mea i mauria mai nei e ia: e ora ana a Ihowa, ka oma ahau i muri i a ia, a ka tango i tetahi mea i a ia.

But Gechazi, the servant of Elisha' the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Na'aman, this Syrian, in not receiving from his hand what he had brought; but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take some little thing from him.

21 Heoi whai ana a Kehati i a Naamana. A, no te kitenga o Naamana i tetahi e whai ana i muri i a ia, ka marere iho ia i te hariata ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea, He pai ranei.

So Gechazi hurried after Na'aman; and when Na'aman saw him running after him, he lighted doom from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is [all] well?

22 Ano ra ko tera, He pai. Na toku ariki ahau i unga mai hei mea, Na, tenei etahi taitamariki tokorua kua tae mai ki ahau inaianei no te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, no nga tama a nga poropiti; hoatu koa ma raua tetahi taranata hiriwa, kia rua hoki nga whakarua kakahu.

And he said, [all] is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from the mountain of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: do give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

23 Na ka mea a Naamana, Whakaae mai, ka tango kia rua taranata. Na tohea ana ia e ia, a takaia ana e ia nga taranata hiriwa e rua ki nga peke e rua, me nga whakarua kakahu e rua, a whakawaha ana ki ana tangata tokorua; a na raua i mau ki tona aroar o.

And Na'aman said, Give thy assent, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound up two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and he gave them unto his two young men, and they carried them before him.

24 A, no tona taenga ki te puke, ka tangohia mai e ia i o raua ringa, a whakatakotoria ana ki te whare. Na tukua atu ana e ia aua tangata, a haere ana raua.

And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he dismissed the men, and they departed.

25 Otiia haere ana ia ki roto, a tu ana i te aroaro o tona ariki. Na ka mea a Eriha ki a ia, I haere mai koe i hea, e Kehati? Ano ra ko ia, Kahore noa iho tau pononga i te haere.

But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha' said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gechazi? And he said, Thy servant went not hither or thither.

26 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Kihai ianei toku ngakau i haere tahi me koe, i te tahuritanga mai o taua tangata i runga i tona hariata ki te whakatau i a koe? He wa ianei tenei mo te tango moni, mo te tango kakahu, mara oriwa, mara waina, hipi, kau, pono nga tane, pononga wahine ranei?

And he said unto him, My mind was not gone, when the man turned round from his chariot to meet thee. Is it a time to take money, and to take garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants?

27 Na reira ka piri ki a koe te repera o Naamana, ki tou uri hoki, a ake ake. Na haere atu ana ia i tona aroaro, he repera, ma tonu me te hukarere.

May then the leprosy of Na'aman cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper [as white] as snow.
