5:1 Now Naaman, the captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man in the sight of his master and highly respected, because by him Jehovah had given deliverance to Syria. But the man, though a mighty man of valor, was a leper.
5:2 And the Syrians had gone out in bands and had taken captive a little girl from the land of Israel, and she waited on Naaman's wife.
先前亚兰人结队出去,从以色列地掳了一个小女子,她就在乃缦的妻子面前伺候她。
5:3 And she said to her mistress, If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would cure him of his leprosy.
她对主母说,巴不得我主人在撒玛利亚的申言者面前,那么,他必能治好主人的痲疯。
5:4 And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, Thus and thus did the girl who is from the land of Israel say.
乃缦进去,告诉他主人说,从以色列地来的女子如此如此说。
5:5 Then the king of Syria said, Go then, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went and took with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold and ten changes of clothes.
5:6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read: And now, when this letter comes to you, I am sending Naaman my servant to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy.
且带信给以色列王,信上说,现在这信到了你那里,你就知道我打发臣仆乃缦去见你,是要你治好他的痲疯。
5:7 And when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, Am I God to put to death and to give life, that this man sends word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Therefore consider now and see how he seeks an occasion against me.
5:8 And when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent word to the king, saying, Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come to me, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.
5:9 And Naaman came with his horses and his chariot and stood at the entrance of the house of Elisha.
于是,乃缦带着车马来了,站在以利沙的家门口。
5:10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored; and you shall be clean.
以利沙打发一个使者,对乃缦说,你去在约但河中沐浴七次,你的肉必复原,你就必得洁净。
5:11 But Naaman became furious and went away and said, I thought, He will surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of Jehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper.
乃缦却发怒走了,说,我想他必定出来见我,站着呼求耶和华他神的名,在患处以上摇手,治好这痲疯。
5:12 Are not the Abana and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
5:13 And his servants came near and spoke to him and said, My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, Wash and be clean?
他的仆人进前来,对他说,我父阿,申言者若叫你作一件大事,你岂不作么?何况说你去沐浴而得洁净呢?
5:14 So he went down and dipped in the Jordan seven times according to the word of the man of God. And his flesh was restored to be like the flesh of a little boy, and he was clean.
于是乃缦下去,照着神人的话,在约但河里浸了七次。他的肉复原,好像小孩子的肉,他就洁净了。
5:15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him and said, Now I know that there is no God in all the earth except with Israel. And now, please accept a present from your servant.
5:16 But he said, As Jehovah lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing. And Naaman urged him to take it, but he refused.
以利沙说,我指着永活的耶和华,就是我侍立在祂面前的那位起誓,我必不接受。
5:17 And Naaman said, Then if not, please let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth, for your servant will no more offer burnt offerings and sacrifices to other gods, but to Jehovah only.
5:18 In this matter may Jehovah pardon your servant: When my master goes into the house of Rimmon to bow down there and leans on my arm, and I bow down in the house of Rimmon, when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, may Jehovah pardon your servant in this matter.
5:19 And he said to him, Go in peace. And when he had gone from him a little way,
以利沙对他说,你平平安安的去罢。乃缦离开他走了不远,
5:20 Gehazi, the attendant of Elisha the man of God said, Now my master has spared Naaman this Syrian by not receiving from his hand that which he brought. As Jehovah lives, I will run after him and take something from him.
5:21 So Gehazi pursued Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him and said, Is all well?
于是基哈西追赶乃缦。乃缦看见有人追赶,就急忙下车迎着他,说,都平安么?
5:22 And he said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Now at this moment two young men from among 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 clothes.
5:23 And Naaman said, Please take two talents. And he urged him and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothes, and gave them to two of his attendants; and they carried them before him.
5:24 And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and deposited them in the house. And he sent the men away, and they departed.
到了山冈,基哈西从他们手中接过来,存放在屋里;然后打发他们离去,他们就走了。
5:25 And he went in and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you come from, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant has not gone anywhere.
基哈西进去,站在他主人面前。以利沙问他说,基哈西,你从那里来?他说,仆人没有往那里去。
5:26 And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive silver and to receive clothing and olive groves and vineyards and sheep and oxen and male servants and female servants?
