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

Na, ko Naamana, ko te rangatira ope a te kingi o Hiria, he tangata nui i te aroaro o tona ariki, e whakanuia ana hoki, no te mea i waiho ia e Ihowa hei kaihomai i te wikitoria ki a Hiria: he tangata marohirohi ano ia, he toa, otiia he repera.

2 A nd the 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.

Na i haere atu nga torohe a nga Hiriani, a riro parau ana mai i a ratou tetahi kotiro iti i te whenua o Iharaira; na ka waiho ia hei mahi ki te wahine a Naamana.

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

Na ka mea tera ki tona rangatira, Aue! me i tata toku ariki ki te poropiti i Hamaria ra! katahi ano he kaiwhakaora mo tona repera.

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

Na kua haere tetahi, kua korero ki tona ariki, kua mea, Anei nga korero a te kotiro o te whenua o Iharaira.

5 A nd the king of Syria said, Go now, 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.

Na ka mea te kingi o Hiria, Haere mai, haere, me tuku pukapuka ahau ki te kingi o Iharaira. Na haere ana ia, maua ana hoki i tona ringa tekau nga taranata hiriwa, e ono mano nga hekere koura, tekau nga whakarua kakahu.

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

Na kawea ana e ia te pukapuka ki te kingi o Iharaira; ko te korero tenei, Ka tae atu tenei pukapuka ki a koe, na, kua unga atu e ahau taku tangata a Naamana ki a koe, kia whakaorangia e koe tona repera.

7 A nd 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? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.

A, i te korerotanga a te kingi o Iharaira i te pukapuka, ka haea e ia ona kakahu, ka mea, He atua ianei ahau hei whakamate, hei whakaora, i tono mai ai tenei tangata ki ahau kia whakaorangia te repera o te tangata? Na kia mohio koutou, kia kite, e rapu ana ia he take riri ki ahau.

8 A nd it was so, when Elisha the man of God 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.

A, no te rongonga o Eriha tangata a te Atua kua haea e te kingi o Iharaira ona kakahu, na ka unga tangata ia ki te kingi hei mea, He aha i haea ai e koe ou kakahu? me haere mai ia ki ahau inaianei, a ka mohio ia he poropiti tenei kei a Iharaira.

9 S o Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.

Heoi haere ana mai a Naamana, me ana hoiho, me ana hariata, a tu ana i te tatau o te whare o Eriha.

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

Na ka unga he tangata e Eriha ki a ia hei mea, Haere, kia whitu nga horoinga ki Horano, a ka hoki ou kikokiko ki a koe, ka ma koe.

11 B ut 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 Jehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

Otira ka riri a Naamana, ka haere, ka mea, Nana, i mahara ahau, Tera ia e puta mai ki ahau, e tu, e karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua, ka whakahaere hoki i tona ringa ki runga ki te wahi, a ka whakaorangia te repera.

12 A re not Abanah and Pharpar, the 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.

Ehara ianei a Apana, a Parapara, nga awa o Ramahiku, i te pai atu i nga wai katoa o Iharaira? kaua ianei ahau e horoi ki era, kia ma ai ahau? Heoi tahuri ana ia, a haere riri ana.

13 A nd 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?

Na ka whakatata mai ana tangata, ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, E toku papa, mehemea te poropiti i whai kupu ki a koe kia meatia tetahi mea nui, e kore ianei e meatia e koe? Na tera noa ake ranei i a ia ka ki mai ki a koe, Horoi, kia ma ai?

14 T hen went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the 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.

Katahi ia ka haere ki raro, a ka rukuruku i a ia, e whitu nga rukuhanga ki Horano, pera me ta te tangata a te Atua i korero ai; a hoki ana ona kikokiko, ano he kikokiko no te tamaiti nohinohi, a kua ma ia.

15 A nd 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 present of thy servant.

Na hoki ana ia ki te tangata a te Atua, a ia me tana huihui katoa, a ka tae, ka tu i mua i a ia: a ka mea ia, Nana, katahi ahau ka mohio, kahore he Atua i te whenua katoa, kei a Iharaira anake: na, tena, kia tangohia e koe tetahi manaakitanga a tau pononga.

16 B ut he said, As Jehovah liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.

Ano ra ko tera, E ora ana a Ihowa, kei tona aroaro nei ahau e tu ana, e kore e tangohia e ahau. Na tohe ana tera ki a ia kia tangohia; otiia whakakahore tonu ia.

17 A nd Naaman said, If not, yet, I pray thee, let there 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 Jehovah.

Ano ra ko Naamana, Ki te kahore, kati me homai ki tau pononga he oneone, kia rite ki te kawenga ma nga muera e rua; e kore hoki tau pononga e mea i te tahunga tinana, i te patunga tapu ranei a mui ake ma teahi atau ke, engari ma Ihowa.

18 I n this thing Jehovah pardon thy servant: 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 myself in the house of Rimmon, Jehovah pardon thy servant in this thing.

Ma Ihowa e whakarere noa te hara o tau pononga i tenei mea; ara ina haere toku ariki ki te whare o Rimono ki te koropiko i reira, a ka whirinaki mai ia ki toku ringa, a ka koropiko ahau i roto i te whare o Rimono: ka koropiko ahau i roto i te wh are o Rimono, me whakarere noa iho e Ihowa te hara o tenei mea a tau pononga

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

Ano ra ko tera ki a ia, Haere marie. Na mawehe atu ana ia i a ia he wahi iti nei.

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

Otira ka mea a Kehati, te kaimahi a Eriha tangata a te Atua, Na, kua ata hanga toku ariki ki tenei Naamana Hiriani, kihai nei i tango i tona ringa i nga mea i mauria mai nei e ia: e ora ana a Ihowa, ka oma ahau i muri i a ia, a ka tango i tetahi mea i a ia.

21 S o Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

Heoi whai ana a Kehati i a Naamana. A, no te kitenga o Naamana i tetahi e whai ana i muri i a ia, ka marere iho ia i te hariata ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea, He pai ranei.

22 A nd he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.

Ano ra ko tera, He pai. Na toku ariki ahau i unga mai hei mea, Na, tenei etahi taitamariki tokorua kua tae mai ki ahau inaianei no te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, no nga tama a nga poropiti; hoatu koa ma raua tetahi taranata hiriwa, kia rua hoki nga whakarua kakahu.

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

Na ka mea a Naamana, Whakaae mai, ka tango kia rua taranata. Na tohea ana ia e ia, a takaia ana e ia nga taranata hiriwa e rua ki nga peke e rua, me nga whakarua kakahu e rua, a whakawaha ana ki ana tangata tokorua; a na raua i mau ki tona aroar o.

24 A nd when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.

A, no tona taenga ki te puke, ka tangohia mai e ia i o raua ringa, a whakatakotoria ana ki te whare. Na tukua atu ana e ia aua tangata, a haere ana raua.

25 B ut 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.

Otiia haere ana ia ki roto, a tu ana i te aroaro o tona ariki. Na ka mea a Eriha ki a ia, I haere mai koe i hea, e Kehati? Ano ra ko ia, Kahore noa iho tau pononga i te haere.

26 A nd he said unto him, Went not my heart with thee, when the man turned 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 men-servants and maid-servants?

Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Kihai ianei toku ngakau i haere tahi me koe, i te tahuritanga mai o taua tangata i runga i tona hariata ki te whakatau i a koe? He wa ianei tenei mo te tango moni, mo te tango kakahu, mara oriwa, mara waina, hipi, kau, pono nga tane, pononga wahine ranei?

27 T he 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.

Na reira ka piri ki a koe te repera o Naamana, ki tou uri hoki, a ake ake. Na haere atu ana ia i tona aroaro, he repera, ma tonu me te hukarere.
