2 Ahemfo 5

1 Na Aramhene bu Naaman a ɔyɛ akodɔm sahene no yie. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnam ne so na Awurade maa Aram dii nkonim akɛseɛ bebree. Ɛwom sɛ na Naaman yɛ ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ deɛ, nanso na ɔyare kwata.

Naaman, prince of the chyualrye of the kyng of Syrie, was a greet man, and worschipid anentis his lord; for bi hym the Lord yaf helthe to Sirie; sotheli he was a strong man and riche, but leprouse.

2 Afei, na Aram akofoɔ adi Israel asase so, na abaawa ketewa bi ka wɔn a wɔkyeree wɔn nnommum no ho. Wɔde saa abaayewa no maa Naaman yere sɛ nʼabaawa.

Forsothe theues yede out of Sirie, and ledden prisonere fro the lond of Israel a litil damysele, that was in the seruyce of the wijf of Naaman.

3 Ɛda bi, abaawa no ka kyerɛɛ nʼawuraa sɛ, “Sɛ me wura kɔhunu odiyifoɔ no wɔ Samaria a, anka mɛpɛ. Anka ɔbɛsa no yadeɛ ama kwata no afiri ne honam ani.”

`Which damysele seide to hir ladi, `Y wolde, that my lord hadde be at the prophete which is in Samarie; sotheli the prophete schulde haue curid hym of the lepre which he hath.

4 Enti, Naaman kaa asɛm a abaawa a ɔfiri Israel no ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ ɔhene.

Therfor Naaman entride to his lord, and telde to hym, and seide, A damysel of the lond of Israel spak so and so.

5 Ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔ, na kɔsra odiyifoɔ no. Mɛtwerɛ krataa aka wo ho, na wode akɔma Israelhene.” Enti, Naaman hyɛɛ nʼakwantuo no ase. Ɔfaa dwetɛ akyɛdeɛ kilogram ahasa aduanan, sikakɔkɔɔ kilogram aduosia nkron ne ntadeɛ mmɔho edu.

Therfor the kyng of Syrie seide to hym, Go thou, and Y schal sende lettris to the kyng of Israel. And whanne he hadde go forth, and hadde take with hym ten talentis of siluer, and sixe thousynde goldun platis, `ether floreyns, and ten chaungyngis of clothis,

6 Krataa a ɔde rekɔma Israelhene no mu asɛm ne sɛ, “Menam krataa yi so reda me ɔsomfoɔ Naaman adi, akyerɛ wo. Mepɛ sɛ wosa no yadeɛ ma ne kwata no firi ne honam ani.”

he brouyte lettris to the kyng of Israel bi these wordis; Whanne thou hast take this pistle, wite thou, that Y haue sent to thee Naaman, my seruaunt, that thou cure hym of his lepre.

7 Ɛberɛ a Israelhene kenkan krataa no, ɔde ahometeɛ sunsuanee nʼatadeɛ mu, kaa sɛ, “Saa ɔbarima yi asoma ɔkwatani aba me nkyɛn, sɛ mensa no yadeɛ! Meyɛ Onyankopɔn a metumi kum, sane ma nkwa? Ɔrepɛ ɛkwan bi afa so, anya nnyinasoɔ bi, na wabɛto ahyɛ yɛn so bio.”

And whanne the kyng of Israel hadde red the lettris, he to-rente his clothis, and seide, Whether Y am God, that may sle and quykene, for this kyng sente to me, that Y cure a man of his lepre? Perseyue ye, and se, that he sekith occasiouns ayens me.

8 Ɛberɛ a Elisa, Onyankopɔn onipa, tee ɔhene no nsɛnkaeɛ no, ɔtoo nkra kɔmaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woasunsuane wo ntadeɛ mu saa? Soma Naaman na ɔmmra me nkyɛn na ɔbɛhunu sɛ, odiyifoɔ papa bi wɔ Israel.”

And whanne Elisee, the man of God, hadde herd this, that is, that the kyng of Israel hadde to-rente hise clothis, he sente to the kyng, and seide, Whi to-rentist thou thi clothis? come he to me, and wite he, that a prophete is in Israel.

9 Enti, Naaman faa nʼapɔnkɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam, kɔtwɛn wɔ Elisa fie ɛpono ano.

Therfor Naaman cam with horsis and charis, and stood at the dore of the hows of Elisee.

10 Na Elisa somaa ɔbɔfoɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Kɔhohoro wo ho mprɛnson wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu, na wo honam bɛba mu, ama wo kwata no akɔ.”

And Elisee sente to hym a messanger, and seide, Go thou, and be thou waischun seuensithis in Jordan; and thi fleisch shal resseyue helthe, and thou schalt be clensid.

11 Na Naaman bo fuiɛ, na ɔsii ɛkwan so. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Na menim sɛ, deɛ ɛbɛyɛ biara no, ɔbɛba abɛhyia me! Na menim sɛ ebia, ɔde ne nsa bɛfa kwata no so, na wabɔ Awurade a, ɔyɛ ne Onyankopɔn no din, nam so asa me yadeɛ.

Naaman was wrooth, and yede awei, and seide, Y gesside, that he schulde go out to me, and that he schulde stonde, and clepe the name of `the Lord his God, and that he schulde touche with his hond the place of lepre, and schulde cure me.

12 Nsubɔntene Abana ne Parpar a ɛwɔ Damasko nsene nsubɔntene a ɛwɔ Israel nyinaa? Adɛn enti na menkɔhohoro me ho wɔ mu, na mennya ayaresa?” Enti, Naaman danee ne ho de abufuo sii mu.

Whether Abana and Pharphar, floodis of Damask, ben not betere than alle the watris of Israel, that Y be waischun in tho, and be clensid?

13 Nanso, ne mpanimfoɔ bɔɔ mmɔden kasa kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, sɛ odiyifoɔ no kaa sɛ yɛ adwuma kɛseɛ bi a, anka worenyɛ anaa? Ɛno enti, tie asɛm a waka sɛ kɔhohoro wo ho kɛkɛ, na wo ho bɛtɔ wo no, na di so.”

Therfor whanne he hadde turned hym silf, and yede awei, hauynge indignacioun, hise seruauntis neiyiden to hym, and spaken to hym, Fadir, thouy the prophete hadde seid to thee a greet thing, certis thou owist to do; hou myche more for now he seide to thee, Be thou waischun, and thou schalt be clensid.

14 Enti, Naaman kɔɔ Asubɔnten Yordan mu, kɔdɔɔ asukɔ mprɛnson, sɛdeɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no. Ne honam ani daa hɔ te sɛ abɔfra, maa ne kwata no nyinaa kɔeɛ.

He yede doun, and waischide hym seuensithis in Jordan, bi the word of the man of God; and his fleisch was restored as the fleisch of a litil child, and he was clensid.

15 Naaman ne ne dɔm no sane kɔeɛ, kɔhwehwɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no akyiri kwan. Wɔkɔgyinaa nʼanim, maa Naaman kaa sɛ, “Afei na mahunu sɛ Onyankopɔn nni ewiase ha baabiara sɛ Israel nko ara. Afei, mesrɛ wo sɛ, gye mʼakyɛdeɛ yi.”

And he turnede ayen with al his felouschipe to the man of God, and cam, and stood bifor hym; and seide, Verili Y knowe, that noon other God is in al erthe, no but oneli God of Israel; therfor, Y biseche, that thou take blessyng of thi seruaunt.

16 Nanso, Elisa buaa sɛ, “Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade a mesom no te ase yi, merennye akyɛdeɛ biara.” Ɛwom sɛ Naaman hyɛɛ no biara sɛ ɔnnye akyɛdeɛ no, nanso Elisa annye.

And he answeride, The Lord lyueth bifor whom Y stonde, for Y schal not take. And whanne he made `strengthe, that is, greet preier, Elisee assentide not outirli.

17 Afei, Naaman kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, ɛnneɛ, ma me ɛkwan na memfa ɛha dɔteɛ atifi mmienu nsoa me mfunumpɔnkɔ mmienu, na memfa nka me ho nkɔ me kurom. Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ, Awurade akyi no, meremmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔdeɛ biara mma onyame bi bio.

Therfor Naaman seide, As thou wolt; but, I biseche, graunte thou to me, thi seruaunt, that Y take of `the lond the birthun of twei burdones; for thi seruaunt schal no more make brent sacrifice, ether slayn sacrifice, to alien goddis, no but to the Lord.

18 Na mesrɛ sɛ, Awurade mfa saa bɔne yi nkyɛ me. Sɛ me wura ɔhene rekɔ Rimon abosomfie akɔsom, na mesosɔ ne mu a, me nso mɛkoto enti, Awurade mfa nkyɛ me.”

Forsothe this thing is oneli, of which thou schalt preie the Lord for thi seruaunt, whanne my lord shal entre into the temple of Remmon, that he worschipe, and while he `schal lene on myn hond, if Y worschipe in the temple of Remmon, while he worschipith in the same place, that the Lord foryyue to thi seruaunt for this thing.

19 Elisa kaa sɛ, “Kɔ asomdwoeɛ mu.” Enti, Naaman sane sii ɛkwan so.

Which Elisee seide to hym, Go thou in pees. `Therfor he yede fro Elisee in a chosun tyme of the lond.

20 Nanso, Elisa ɔsomfoɔ Gehasi kaa wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Anka ɛnsɛ sɛ me wura ma Aramni yi kɔ a wannye akyɛdeɛ yi. Mmerɛ dodoɔ a Awurade te ase yi, mɛti no, na makɔgye biribi afiri ne nkyɛn.”

And Giezi, the child of the man of God, seide, My lord sparide this Naaman of Syrie, that he took not of hym that, that he brouyte; the Lord lyueth, for Y schal renne aftir hym, and Y schal take of hym sum thing.

21 Enti, Gehasi tii no. Ɛberɛ a Naaman hunuu no sɛ ɔde mmirika reba ne so no, ɔsi firii ne teaseɛnam mu kɔhyiaa no. Naaman bisaa no sɛ, “Wobaa no asomdwoeɛ mu anaa?”

And Giezi suede aftir the bak of Naaman; and whanne Naaman hadde seyn Giezi rennynge to hym, he skippide doun of the chare in to the metyng of Giezi; and seide, Whether alle thingis ben riytfuli?

22 Gehasi buaa sɛ, “Aane, nanso me wura asoma me sɛ memmɛka nkyerɛ wo sɛ, mmabunu baanu bi a wɔyɛ adiyifoɔ a wɔfiri Efraim kuro a ɛda bepɔ so no mu abɛduru seesei ara. Ɔse ɔrepɛ dwetɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan ne ntadeɛ nsakyeramu mmienu de ama wɔn.”

And he seide, Riytfuli; my lord sente me to thee, and seide, Twey yonge men of the hille of Effraym, of the sones of prophetis, camen now to me; yyue thou to hem a talent of siluer, and double chaungyng clothis.

23 Naaman kaa sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ asɛm a ɛyɛ den, gye dwetɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan yi.” Ɔmaa no ntadeɛ nsakyeramu mmienu, kyekyeree sika no wɔ nkotokuo mmienu mu, yii asomfoɔ baanu soaa akyɛdeɛ no, maa Gehasi.

And Naaman seide, It is betere that thou take twei talentis. And Naaman constreynede hym; and Naaman boond twei talentis of siluer in twei sackis, and double clothis, and puttide on his twey children, `that is, seruauntis, whiche also baren bifor Giezi.

24 Nanso, wɔduruu bepɔ no so no, Gehasi gyee akyɛdeɛ no firii asomfoɔ no nkyɛn, ma wɔsane wɔn akyi kɔeɛ. Afei, ɔde akyɛdeɛ no kɔsiee efie no mu.

And whanne he hadde come thanne in the euentid, he took fro the hond of hem, and leide vp in the hows; and he delyuerede the men, and thei yeden.

25 Ɛberɛ a ɔkɔɔ ne wura Elisa nkyɛn no, ɔbisaa no sɛ, “Gehasi, wokɔɔ he?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Menkɔɔ baabiara.”

Forsothe Giezi entride, and stood bifor his lord. And Elise seide, Giezi, fro whennus comest thou? Which answeride, Thi seruaunt yede not to ony place.

26 Nanso, Elisa bisaa no sɛ, “Woanhunu sɛ ɛberɛ a Naaman si firii ne teaseɛnam mu bɛhyiaa wo no, na mewɔ hɔ honhom mu? Saa ɛberɛ yi na ɛsɛ sɛ wogye sika ne ntadeɛ ne ngo dua mfuo ne bobe mfuo ne nnwan ne anantwie ne asomfoɔ?

And Elise seide, Whether myn herte was not in present, whanne the man turnede ayen fro his chare in to the metyng of thee? Now therfor thou hast take siluer, and thou hast take clothis, that thou bie places of olyues, and vyneris, and scheep, and oxis, and seruauntis, and handmaydis;

27 Deɛ woayɛ yi enti, wo ne wo mma ne wo mma mma bɛyare Naaman kwata no bi afebɔɔ.” Ɛberɛ a Gehasi firii dan no mu no, na kwata ayɛ no a ne ho ahoa ayɛ sɛ sukyerɛmma.

but also the lepre of Naaman schal cleue to thee, and to thi seed withouten ende. And Giezi yede leprouse as snow, `fro hym.
