2 Kraljevima 5
1 I bješe Neman vojvoda cara Sirskoga èovjek velik u gospodara svojega i u èasti, jer preko njega saèuva Gospod Siriju; ali taj veliki junak bješe gubav.
Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Syria; he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
2 A iz Sirije izide èeta i zarobi u zemlji Izrailjskoj malu djevojku, te ona služaše ženu Nemanovu.
The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little girl, and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
3 I ona reèe svojoj gospoði: o da bi moj gospodar otišao k proroku u Samariji! on bi ga oprostio od gube.
She said to her mistress, “I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy.”
4 Tada on otide k svome gospodaru i javi mu govoreæi: tako i tako kaže djevojka iz zemlje Izrailjske.
Someone went in and told his lord, saying, “The girl who is from the land of Israel said this.”
5 A car Sirski reèe mu: hajde idi, a ja æu poslati knjigu caru Izrailjevu. I on otide, i ponese deset talanata srebra i šest tisuæa sikala zlata i desetore stajaæe haljine.
The king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
6 I odnese knjigu caru Izrailjevu, koja ovako govoraše: eto, kad ti doðe ova knjiga, znaj da šaljem k tebi Nemana slugu svojega da ga oprostiš gube.
He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “Now when this letter has come to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.”
7 A kad car Izrailjev proèita knjigu, razdrije haljine svoje i reèe: zar sam ja Bog da mogu ubiti i povratiti život, te šalje k meni da oprostim èovjeka gube? Pazite i vidite kako traži zadjevice sa mnom.
When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.”
8 A kad èu Jelisije èovjek Božji da je car Izrailjev razdro haljine svoje, posla k caru i poruèi: zašto si razdro haljine svoje? neka doðe k meni, da pozna da ima prorok u Izrailju.
It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
9 I tako doðe Neman s konjma i kolima svojim, i stade na vratima doma Jelisijeva.
So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 A Jelisije posla k njemu i poruèi: idi i okupaj se sedam puta u Jordanu, i ozdraviæe tijelo tvoje, i oèistiæeš se.
Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.”
11 Tada se rasrdi Neman i poðe govoreæi: gle! ja mišljah, on æe izaæi k meni, i staæe, i prizvaæe ime Gospoda Boga svojega, i metnuti ruku svoju na mjesto, i oèistiti gubu.
But Naaman was angry, and went away and said, “Behold, I thought, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leper.’
12 Nijesu li Avana i Farfar vode u Damasku bolje od svijeh voda Izrailjskih? ne bih li se mogao u njima okupati i oèistiti? I okrenuvši se otide gnjevan.
Aren’t Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.
13 Ali sluge njegove pristupivši rekoše mu govoreæi: oèe, da ti je kazao prorok što veliko, ne bi li uèinio? a zašto ne bi kad ti reèe: okupaj se, pa æeš se oèistiti?
His servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”
14 I tako siðe, i zaroni u Jordan sedam puta po rijeèi èovjeka Božijega, i tijelo njegovo posta kao u maloga djeteta, i oèisti se.
Then went he down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
15 Tada se vrati k èovjeku Božijemu sa pratnjom svojom, i došav stade pred njim, i reèe: evo sad vidim da nema Boga nigdje na zemlji do u Izrailju. Nego uzmi dar od sluge svojega.
He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, “See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”
16 Ali on reèe: tako da je živ Gospod, pred kojim stojim, neæu uzeti. I on navaljivaše na nj da uzme; ali on ne htje.
But he said, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.” He urged him to take it; but he refused.
17 Tada reèe Neman: kad neæeš, a ono neka se da sluzi tvojemu ove zemlje koliko mogu ponijeti dvije mazge. Jer sluga tvoj neæe više prinositi žrtava paljenica ni drugih žrtava drugim bogovima, nego Gospodu.
Naaman said, “If not, then, please let two mules’ load of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Yahweh.
18 A Gospod neka oprosti ovo sluzi tvojemu: kad gospodar moj uðe u dom Rimonov da se pokloni ondje, pa se prihvati za moju ruku, da se i ja poklonim u domu Rimonovu, neka oprosti Gospod sluzi tvojemu kad se tako poklonim u domu Rimonovu.
In this thing may Yahweh pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon. When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may Yahweh pardon your servant in this thing.”
19 A on mu reèe: idi s mirom. I on otide od njega, i prijeðe jedno potrkalište.
He said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a little way.
20 Tada reèe Gijezije sluga Jelisija èovjeka Božijega: gle, gospodar moj ne htje primiti iz ruku toga Nemana Sirca što bješe donio. Ali tako da je živ Gospod, potrèaæu za njim i uzeæu što od njega.
But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”
21 I Gijezije otrèa za Nemanom. A kad ga vidje Neman gdje trèi za njim, skoèi s kola svojih i srete ga, pa mu reèe: je li dobro?
So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is all well?”
22 A on reèe: dobro je. Gospodar moj posla me da ti kažem: evo, baš sad doðoše k meni dva mladiæa iz gore Jefremove, proroèki sinovi, daj za njih talanat srebra i dvoje stajaæe haljine.
He said, “All is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, even now two young men of 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 clothing.’”
23 A Neman reèe: uzmi i dva talanta. I natjera ga; i sveza dva talanta srebra u dva toboca, i dvoje stajaæe haljine, i dade dvojici momaka svojih, da nose pred njim.
Naaman said, “Be pleased to take two talents.” He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him.
24 A on kad doðe na brdo, uze iz ruku njihovijeh i ostavi u jednoj kuæi, a ljude otpusti, te otidoše.
When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed.
25 Potom došavši stade pred gospodarom svojim. A Jelisije mu reèe: otkle Gijezije? A on reèe: nije išao sluga tvoj nikuda.
But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you come from, Gehazi?” He said, “Your servant went nowhere.”
26 Ali mu on reèe: zar srce moje nije išlo onamo kad se èovjek vrati s kola svojih preda te? Zar je to bilo vrijeme uzimati srebro i uzimati haljine, maslinike, vinograde, ovce, goveda, sluge i sluškinje?
He said to him, “Didn’t my heart go with you when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants?
27 Zato guba Nemanova neka prione za te i za sjeme tvoje dovijeka. I otide od njega gubav, bio kao snijeg.
Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your offspring forever.” He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.
