1Now 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.
1Quicuan jun li cuînk aj Naamán xcßabaß. Laj Naamán, aßan li nataklan saß xbêneb li soldado re li tenamit Siria. Lix reyeb laj Siria quixqßue xlokßal laj Naamán xban nak saß xcßabaß aßan li Kâcuaß quixqßueheb laj Siria chi numtâc saß xbêneb li xicß nequeßiloc reheb. Laj Naamán naxnau pletic chi us ut cau rib. Abanan cuan lix yajel. Saklep rix.
2The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
2Jun sut nak queßcôeb chi pletic riqßuineb laj Israel, eb laj Siria queßxchap jun li chßina xkaßal ut queßxcßam saß xtenamiteb. Li xkaßal aßan qui-oc chokß xmôs li rixakil laj Naamán.
3She 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.”
3Saß jun li cutan li xkaßal quixye re lix patrón: —Us raj cui li kâcuaß Naamán tâxic riqßuin li profeta cuan Samaria. Li profeta aßan tixqßuirtesi raj lix yajel, chan.
4Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, “The maiden who is from the land of Israel said this.”
4Laj Naamán cô riqßuin li rey ut quixye re chixjunil li quixye li xkaßal li queßxcßam chak Israel.
5The 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, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
5Ut li rey quixye re: —Ayu riqßuin lix reyeb laj Israel. Lâin tintakla jun li hu châcuix re tâqßue re li rey aßan, chan. Joßcan ut nak cô laj Naamán. Quixcßam lajêb xcaßcßâl mil chi tumin plata ut cuakib mil chi tumin oro. Ut quixcßam ajcuiß lajêb sumal li châbil tßicr.
6He 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.”
6Ut quixcßam ajcuiß li hu re lix reyeb laj Israel. Saß li hu naxye chi joßcaßin: Nak tâcuil li hu aßin tânau nak laj Naamán, aßan jun li nacßanjelac chicuu ut nim xcuanquil. Nacuaj nak tâqßuirtesi li saklep chirix, chan.
7It happened, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that 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.”
7Nak lix reyeb laj Israel quiril xsaß li hu, quisach xchßôl ut quixpej li rakß xban xcßaßux ut quixye: —¿Ma lâin ta biß Dios nak tinqßuirtesi li cuînk aßin? ¿Cßaßut nak xtakla chak li cuînk aßin cuiqßuin re tinqßuirtesi? ¿Ma târûk ta biß tincuisi xyußam junak ut tinqßue cuißchic? Qßuehomak retal. Li cuînk aßan yô chixsicßbal xyâlal chanru nak tâpletik cuiqßuin, chan.
8It 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.”
8Laj Eliseo, lix profeta li Dios, quirabi resil nak li rey quixpej li rakß xban li hu li quitaklâc riqßuin. Joßcan nak quixtakla xyebal re li rey: —¿Cßaßut nak xapej lâ cuakß? Takla laj Naamán cuiqßuin. Aßan tixqßue retal nak cuan jun xprofeta li Dios arin Israel, chan.
9So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
9Laj Naamán cô rochben lix carruaje ut eb lix cacuây ut quixakli saß li oquebâl re li rochoch laj Eliseo.
10Elisha 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.”
10Ut li profeta quixtakla jun lix takl re tixye re laj Naamán nak tâxic chi atînc cuukub sut saß li nimaß Jordán re nak tâqßuirâk lix tibel.
11But 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.’
11Laj Naamán quisukßi chi yô xjoskßil. Ut quixye: —Saß inchßôl lâin nak laj Eliseo tâêlk chak chincßulbal. Xxakli raj chicuu ut quixyâba raj xcßabaß li Kâcuaß lix Dios. Xtochß raj riqßuin rukß lin tibel re tinqßuirâk.
12Aren’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.
12¿Ma mâcßaß ta biß nimaß aran Damasco? Cuanqueb li nimaß Abana ut Farfar. Eb li nimaß aßan kßaxal us chiru li nimaß arin Israel. Lâin xin-atin raj saß li nimaß aßan ut quinqßuira raj, chan. Ut cßajoß xjoskßil nak cô.
13His 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?’”
13Abanan eb li môs queßjiloc riqßuin laj Naamán ut queßxye: —Chacuy li kamâc, kacuaß. Cui ta li profeta xye âcue nak tâbânu junak cßaßru chßaßaj xbânunquil, ¿ma incßaß raj xabânu? Aßan moco chßaßaj ta xbânunquil. ¿Cßaßut nak incßaß tâsub âcuib saß li haß re nak tatqßuirâk? chanqueb.
14Then 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.
14Joßcan nak laj Naamán cô saß li nimaß Jordán ut quixsub rib cuukub sut saß li nimaß joß quiyeheß re xban lix profeta li Dios. Ut quiqßuira. Lix tibel kßun kßun quicana joß xtibel junak sâj al.
15He 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.”
15Laj Naamán qui-el saß li nimaß ut cô cuißchic saß rochoch li profeta Eliseo rochben chixjunileb lix môs. Ut laj Naamán quixye re laj Eliseo: —Anakcuan xinqßue retal nak mâcßaß chic junak Dios saß chixjunil li ruchichßochß. Caßaj cuiß arin Israel. Joßcan nak nintzßâma châcuu nak tâcßul junak lâ mâtan tinsi âcue, chan laj Naamán.
16But he said, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.” He urged him to take it; but he refused.
16Laj Eliseo quixye re: —Saß xcßabaß li yoßyôquil Dios li nincßanjela ru, lâin ninye âcue nak incßaß tincßul li cßaßru yôcat chixyechißinquil cue, chan. Laj Naamán quixpuersi raj chixcßulbal, abanan laj Eliseo incßaß quixcßul.
17Naaman said, “If not, then, please let two mules’ burden 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.
17Ut laj Naamán quixye re: —Nintzßâma junak usilal châcuu. Si chokß cue cuib îk li chßochß aßin re teßxcßam lin bûr saß lin tenamit xban nak chalen anakcuan incßaß chic tinmayejak chiru jalanil dios chi moco tincßat inmayej chiru. Caßaj cuiß chiru li Kâcuaß li tzßakal Dios tinmayejak.
18In 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.”
18Chixcuyak taxak inmâc li Kâcuaß Dios nak tinxic chirix lin rey nak tâxic chi lokßonînc saß lix templo laj Rimón lix Dios. Aß taxak li Dios chicuyuk inmâc cui tincuikßib cuib nak yôquin chixtenkßanquil li rey, chan.
19He said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a little way.
19Li profeta Eliseo quixye re: —Naru tatxic chi cßojcßo âchßôl, chan. Ut laj Naamán qui-el riqßuin. Toj mâjiß ajcuiß najt nabêc,
20But 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.”
20nak laj Giezi lix môs li profeta Eliseo quixye saß xchßôl: —Lin patrón xcanab chi xic laj Naamán laj Siria chi mâcßaß xcßul. Incßaß xcßul li cßaßru xcßam chak re tixsi re. Saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß Dios, tinxic chi junpât re nak tixsi bayak cue, chan.
21So 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?”
21Joßcan nak laj Giezi quiâlinac chirix laj Naamán. Laj Naamán quiril nak yô chi âlinac chirix. Quixxakab lix carruaje ut quicube saß chßochß chixcßulbal ut quixye re: —¿Cßaßru xecßul? ¿Ma us cuanquex? chan.
22He 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.’”
22Laj Giezi quixye re: —Mâcßaß nakacßul. Lin patrón xinixtakla chixyebal âcue nak xeßcuulac riqßuin cuibeb li profeta sâjeb. Xeßchal chak saß lix naßajeb li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín, li tzûl ru. Naxtzßâma châcuu nak tâqßue reheb oxib mil li tumin plata ut cuib sumal li tßicr, chan.
23Naaman 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.
23Laj Naamán quixye re: —Cßul cuakib mil chi tumin plata, chan. Ut quixpuersi laj Giezi chixcßulbal. Quixqßue li plata saß cuib li bôls ut quixqßue ajcuiß cuib sumal li châbil tßicr. Ut laj Naamán quixtakla cuib lix môs chixcanabanquil. Queßcôeb chi ubej chiru laj Giezi.
24When 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.
24Nak queßcuulac saß xbên li bol, laj Giezi quixchap li cuib bôls chi tumin joß ajcuiß li tßicr ut quixcßam saß rochoch chi mukmu. Ut quixsukßisiheb cuißchic lix môs laj Naamán.
25But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you come from, Gehazi?” He said, “Your servant went nowhere.”
25Chirix aßan laj Giezi cô cuißchic riqßuin lix patrón ut lix patrón quixye re: —¿Bar xatcuulac chak? chan. Laj Giezi quixye: —Mâ bar nincuulac, chan.
26He 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?
26Laj Eliseo quixye re: —¿Ma incßaß ta biß ninnau nak laj Naamán x-el saß lix carruaje châcßulbal?

27Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your seed forever.” He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.
27Anakcuan tâletz châcuix lix yajel laj Naamán. Chalen anakcuan saklep chic âcuix joß eb ajcuiß lâ cualal âcßajol saklep chic rixeb, chan. Ut nak cô laj Giezi, saklep chic rix. Sak sak joß li ratzßam que.
