¹Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valor, but he was a leper.

¹[Ny nanasitranana an'i Namàna, sy ny nampijaliana an'i Gehazy noho ny ratsy nataony] Ary Namàna, komandin'ny miaramilan'ny mpanjakan'i Syria, dia olona lehibe teo anatrehan'ny tompony sady nanan-kaja, satria izy no namonjen'i Jehovah an'i Syria; ary lehilahy mahery izy, nefa kosa boka.

²And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.

²Ary ny Syriana nivoaka nanao an-tokony ka nitondra ny zazavavy kely anankiray babo avy tany amin'ny tanin'ny Isiraely; ary nanompo ny vadin'i Namana io.

³And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.

³Ary hoy io tamin'ny tompovaviny: Enga anie ka mba ao amin'ny mpaminany izay any Samaria ny tompoko! dia hahasitrana azy amin'ny habokany izy.

⁴And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.

⁴Ary niditra Namana ka nilaza tamin'ny tompony hoe: Izany ka izany no nolazain'ilay zazavavy izay avy tany amin'ny tanin'ny Isiraely.

⁵And 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 raiment.

⁵Dia hoy ny mpanjakan'i Syria: Andeha ary mandeha, fa hampitondra taratasy ho any amin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely aho. Dia lasa izy sady nitondra talenta volafotsy folo sy volamena enina arivo sekely ary akanjo im-polo miova teny an-tànany.

⁶And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.

⁶Ary izy nitondra ny taratasy ho any amin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely nanao hoe: Ary raha tonga atỳ aminao ity taratasy ity, dia ho fantatrao fa efa nampandeha an'i Namàna mpanompoko aho hankatỳ aminao, koa sitrano amin'ny habokany izy.

⁷And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

⁷Ary nony efa novakin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely ny taratasy, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra va aho ka hahafaty na hahavelona, no anirahan'ilehiny atỳ amiko mba hahasitrana olona amin'ny habokany? Koa masìna ianareo, fantaro sy izahao fa mila ady amiko mihitsy izy.

⁸And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had 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 come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

⁸Ary rehefa ren'i Elisa, lehilahin'Andriamanitra, fa nandriatra ny fitafiany ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, dia naniraka tany amin'ny mpanjaka izy ka nanao hoe: Nahoana no nandriatra ny fitafianao ianao? Aoka izy hankatỳ amiko, dia ho fantany fa misy mpaminany tokoa ao amin'ny Isiraely.

⁹So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

⁹Ary dia nandeha Namàna nitondra ny soavaliny sy ny kalesiny ka nijanona teo am-baravaran'ny tranon'i Elisa.

¹⁰And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

¹⁰Ary Elisa naniraka olona tany aminy hilaza hoe: Mandehana, mandroa impito ao Jordana, dia hody aminao indray ny nofonao, ka hadio ianao.

¹¹But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

¹¹Fa tezitra Namàna, dia lasa ka nanao hoe: Indro, nataoko fa hivoaka hankatỳ amiko mihitsy izy ka hitsangana ary hiantso ny anaran'i Jehovah Andriamaniny sady hanevaheva ny tànany eo ambonin'ny aretina ka hahasitrana ny boka.

¹²Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

¹²Tsy tsara noho ny ranon'ny Isiraely rehetra va Abana sy Farpara, onin'i Damaskosy? Tsy mahazo mandro ao amin'ireo va aho ka hadio? Dia nihodina izy ka lasa an-katezerana.

¹³And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

¹³Dia nanatona ny mpanompony ka niteny taminy hoe: Ry ikaky ô, na dia zavatra lehibe aza no nasain'ny mpaminany ho nataonao, moa tsy mba ho nataonao va izany? koa mainka va, raha hoy izy aminao: Mandroa, dia hadio ianao?

¹⁴Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

¹⁴Dia nidina izy ka nisitrika tao Jordana impito araka ny tenin'ny lehilahin'Andriamanitra: ary ny nofony dia tonga tahaka ny nofon-jazakely indray, ka nadio izy.

¹⁵And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.

¹⁵Ary niverina nankao amin'ny lehilahin'Andriamanitra izy mbamin'izay rehetra nanaraka azy, dia tonga tao ary nitsangana teo anatrehany ka nanao hoe: Indro, fantatro fa tsy misy Andriamanitra amin'ny tany rehetra, afa-tsy ato amin'ny Isiraely ihany koa masìna ianao, raiso ny saotra aterin'ny mpanomponao.

¹⁶But he said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.

¹⁶Fa hoy izy: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Izay itsanganako eo anatrehany, tsy handray mihitsy aho. Ary nanery azy handray izy; fa tsy nety Elisa.

¹⁷And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD.

¹⁷Ary hoy Namana: Masìna ianao, moa tsy homena tany zakan'ny ampondra roa va izaho mpanomponao? fa ny mpanomponao tsy mba hanatitra fanatitra dorana na fanatitra hafa intsony ho an'ny andriamani-kafa, fa ho an'i Jehovah ihany.

¹⁸In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.

¹⁸Nefa ny amin'izao zavatra izao dia aoka havelan'i Jehovah ny heloky ny mpanomponao: raha ny tompoko miditra ao an-tranon-dRimona hiankohoka ao ary mitehina amin'ny tanako, ka mba miankohoka ao an-tranon-dRimona aho, raha miankohoka ao aho, Jehovah anie hamela ny heloky ny mpanomponao amin'izany zavatra izany.

¹⁹And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.

¹⁹Ary hoy izy taminy: Mandehana soa aman-tsara. Ary dia niala taminy izy ka lasa lavidavitra.[Heb. kiba iray anaram-pandrefesana tokony ho maily iray]

²⁰But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.

²⁰Fa hoy Gehazy, zatovon'i Elisa, lehilahin'Andriamanitra: Indro, ny tompoko namela fotsiny ity Namàna Syriana ity ka tsy nandray tamin'ny tànany izay zavatra nentiny, fa raha velona koa Jehovah, dia hihazakazaka hanaraka azy aho ka handray zavatra aminy.[Heb. Aramiana]

²¹So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

²¹Ka dia lasa Gehazy nanaraka an'i Namàna Ary nony tazan'i Namàna avy mihazakazaka manaraka azy izy, dia niala faingana tamin'ny kalesy hitsena azy izy ka nanao hoe: Tsara ihany va?

²²And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

²²Ary hoy izy: Tsara ihany; kanefa ny tompoko naniraka ahy hilaza hoe: Indro ankehitriny misy zatovo roa lahy amin'ny zanaky ny mpaminany tonga atỳ amiko avy any amin'ny tany havoan'i Efraima; koa masìna ianao, omeo talenta volafotsy sy fitafiana indroa miova izy.

²³And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.

²³Ary hoy Namàna: Aoka handray talenta roa ianao. Ary nanery azy izy sady namehy talenta volafotsy roa tao anaty kitapo roa mbamin'ny fitafiana indroa miova, ka nampitondrainy ny zatovony roa lahy izany; ary nitondra izany teo alohany ireo.

²⁴And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

²⁴Fa nony tonga tao amin'ny havoana izy, dia nalainy teny an-tànany izany ka napetrany tao an-trano; dia nampandehaniny ireo, ka dia lasa izy.

²⁵But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.

²⁵Fa Gehazy kosa niditra ka nitsangana teo anatrehan'ny tompony. Ary hoy Elisa taminy: Avy taiza ianao, ry Gehazy? Dia hoy izy: Tsy avy taiza tsy avy taiza ny mpanomponao.

²⁶And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?

²⁶Fa hoy kosa Elisa taminy: Tsy niaraka taminao ihany va ny foko tamin'ilay nihodina niala tamin'ny kalesy hitsena anao ralehilahy? Moa andro fandraisam-bola, na fandraisana fitafiana, na tanin'oliva, na tanim-boaloboka, na ondry aman'osy, na omby, na ankizilahy, na ankizivavy va izao?Koa ny habokan'i Namàna dia hiraikitra aminao sy ny taranakao mandrakizay. Ary niala teo anatrehany izy ka, indro, boka fotsy toy ny oram-panala.

²⁷The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

²⁷Koa ny habokan'i Namàna dia hiraikitra aminao sy ny taranakao mandrakizay. Ary niala teo anatrehany izy ka, indro, boka fotsy toy ny oram-panala.
