Naaman Healed of Leprosy
5 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram.(A) He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.[a](B)
2 Now bands of raiders(C) from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife. 3 She said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet(D) who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.”
4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said. 5 “By all means, go,” the king of Aram replied. “I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents[b] of silver, six thousand shekels[c] of gold and ten sets of clothing.(E) 6 The letter that he took to the king of Israel read: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”
7 As soon as the king of Israel read the letter,(F) he tore his robes and said, “Am I God?(G) Can I kill and bring back to life?(H) Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel(I) with me!”
8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: “Why have you torn your robes? Have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet(J) in Israel.” 9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash(K) yourself seven times(L) in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.”
11 But Naaman went away angry and said, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand(M) over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters(N) of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be cleansed?” So he turned and went off in a rage.(O)
13 Naaman’s servants went to him and said, “My father,(P) if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!” 14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times,(Q) as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored(R) and became clean like that of a young boy.(S)
15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God(T). He stood before him and said, “Now I know(U) that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift(V) from your servant.”
16 The prophet answered, “As surely as the Lord lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing.” And even though Naaman urged him, he refused.(W)
17 “If you will not,” said Naaman, “please let me, your servant, be given as much earth(X) as a pair of mules can carry, for your servant will never again make burnt offerings and sacrifices to any other god but the Lord. 18 But may the Lord forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning(Y) on my arm and I have to bow there also—when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the Lord forgive your servant for this.”
19 “Go in peace,”(Z) Elisha said.
After Naaman had traveled some distance, 20 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said to himself, “My master was too easy on Naaman, this Aramean, by not accepting from him what he brought. As surely as the Lord(AA) lives, I will run after him and get something from him.”
21 So Gehazi hurried after Naaman. When Naaman saw him running toward him, he got down from the chariot to meet him. “Is everything all right?” he asked.
22 “Everything is all right,” Gehazi answered. “My master sent me to say, ‘Two young men from the company of the prophets have just come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent[d] of silver and two sets of clothing.’”(AB)
23 “By all means, take two talents,” said Naaman. He urged Gehazi to accept them, and then tied up the two talents of silver in two bags, with two sets of clothing. He gave them to two of his servants, and they carried them ahead of Gehazi. 24 When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the things from the servants and put them away in the house. He sent the men away and they left.
25 When he went in and stood before his master, Elisha asked him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?”
“Your servant didn’t go anywhere,” Gehazi answered.
26 But Elisha said to him, “Was not my spirit with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time(AC) to take money or to accept clothes—or olive groves and vineyards, or flocks and herds, or male and female slaves?(AD) 27 Naaman’s leprosy(AE) will cling to you and to your descendants forever.” Then Gehazi(AF) went from Elisha’s presence and his skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow.(AG)

5 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.
2 And 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.
3 And 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.
4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.
5 And 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.
6 And 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.
7 And 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.
8 And 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.
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 And 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.
11 But 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.
12 Are 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.
13 And 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?
14 Then 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.
15 And 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.
16 But he said, As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
17 And 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.
18 In 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.
19 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.
20 But 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.
21 So 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?
22 And 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.
23 And 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.
24 And 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.
25 But 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.
26 And 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?
27 The 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.

Enfermedad de Naamán
5 Naamán, general del ejército del rey de Siria, era muy importante y valioso para su rey[a] porque el SEÑOR lo usó para darle victoria a Siria. Pero aunque Naamán era un hombre importante y poderoso, sufría de lepra.
2 En uno de los ataques que hacía el ejército de Siria contra Israel capturaron a una niña israelita. Ella pasó a ser sirvienta de la esposa de Naamán. 3 La niña le dijo a su dueña:
—Si tan sólo mi señor conociera el profeta que vive en Samaria, le podría quitar la lepra a Naamán.
4 Naamán se acercó a su rey y le habló de lo que le había dicho la israelita.
5 El rey de Siria le dijo:
—Ve ahora, que yo le mandaré una carta al rey de Israel.
Así que Naamán se fue a Israel. Llevó de regalo 30 000 monedas[b] de plata, 6000 monedas de oro y diez mudas de ropa. 6 Naamán llevó la carta del rey de Siria al rey de Israel. La carta decía: “Sirva la presente para hacerte saber que te mando a mi siervo Naamán para que lo cures de su lepra”.
7 Cuando el rey de Israel leyó la carta, rompió su vestido y dijo:
—¿Acaso soy Dios? No tengo poder sobre la vida y la muerte para que el rey de Siria me mande un hombre para que lo sane de lepra. Fíjense bien que lo que quiere es atacarme.
8 Eliseo, el hombre de Dios, escuchó que el rey de Israel había roto su vestido, así que le mandó este mensaje: «¿Por qué rompiste tu vestido? Que Naamán venga a mí y entonces sabrá que hay profeta en Israel».
9 Entonces Naamán fue con sus caballos y carruajes a donde vivía Eliseo y se quedó esperando fuera de la casa. 10 Eliseo le mandó un mensajero que le dijo: «Anda y lávate en el río Jordán siete veces y se te sanará la piel; quedarás puro y limpio».
11 Naamán se enojó y se fue, diciendo:
—Pensé que Eliseo saldría y se pararía delante de mí, pediría en el nombre del SEÑOR su Dios y luego pasaría la mano sobre mi cuerpo para sanar la lepra. 12 Los ríos de Damasco, el Abaná y el Farfar son mejores que toda el agua de Israel, ¿por qué no me puedo bañar en aquellos ríos de Damasco y limpiarme ahí?
Naamán se enojó mucho y dio media vuelta para irse.
13 Pero los siervos de Naamán fueron y le dijeron:
—Señor[c], si el profeta le hubiera dicho que hiciera algo muy difícil lo habría hecho, ¿no es cierto? Con más razón ahora que sólo le dijo: “Lávate y quedarás puro y limpio”.
14 Así que Naamán hizo lo que el hombre de Dios había dicho. Bajó y se lavó en el Jordán siete veces, ¡y quedó puro y limpio! Su piel se volvió tan suave como la de un bebé.
15 Naamán y su gente volvieron para ver al hombre de Dios. Se detuvo ante Eliseo y le dijo:
—Mira, ahora sé que no hay ningún otro Dios en el mundo, excepto en Israel. Acepta un regalo de mi parte, por favor.
16 Pero Eliseo le dijo:
—Te aseguro como que existe el SEÑOR, al cual yo sirvo, que yo no aceptaré ningún regalo.
Naamán trató de obligar a Eliseo a que aceptara el regalo, pero Eliseo lo rehusó. 17 Entonces Naamán dijo:
—Si no aceptas el regalo, entonces, al menos haz que se me dé tierra para llenar la carga de mis dos mulas,[d] porque nunca más ofreceré sacrificios que deben quemarse completamente ni ofrendas a ningún otro dios. Sólo ofreceré sacrificios al SEÑOR. 18 Ahora ora al SEÑOR para que me perdone esto: Cuando en el futuro mi señor, el rey, vaya al templo del dios Rimón para adorarlo, el rey querrá apoyarse en mí; así que tendré que arrodillarme en el templo de Rimón. Te ruego que le pidas al SEÑOR que me perdone cuando me toque hacer eso. 19 Entonces Eliseo le dijo a Naamán:
—Vete en paz.
Naamán se fue del lado de Eliseo y había recorrido una distancia no muy larga, 20 cuando Guiezi, el siervo de Eliseo, el hombre de Dios, se dijo: «Mi señor se despidió de Naamán el sirio sin aceptar el regalo que trajo. Tan seguro como que el SEÑOR existe, que iré tras él a ver qué consigo de él». 21 Entonces Guiezi corrió tras Naamán.
Naamán vio que alguien lo seguía. Se bajó del carruaje para encontrarse con Guiezi. Naamán le dijo:
—¿Está bien todo?
22 Guiezi le dijo:
—Sí, todo está bien. Mi amo me mandó a decirle esto: “Mira, dos jóvenes del grupo de profetas de la región montañosa de Efraín han venido a verme. Por favor, dales 3000 monedas[e] de plata y unas mudas de ropa”.
23 Naamán dijo:
—Por favor, toma 6000.
Naamán convenció a Guiezi de que se llevara la plata. Puso las 6000 monedas de plata en dos bolsas y le dio las mudas de ropa. Naamán les entregó todo esto a sus siervos para que lo llevaran delante de Guiezi. 24 Al pasar la cima del cerro, Guiezi les recibió todo a los siervos, los despidió y escondió todo en la casa.
25 Guiezi entró a hablar con su amo. Eliseo le dijo a Guiezi:
—¿A dónde fuiste, Guiezi?
Guiezi le contestó:
—A ninguna parte.
26 Eliseo le dijo a Guiezi:
—¡Mentira! En mi mente vi cuando el hombre se dio vuelta en su carruaje para verte. No es el momento de aceptar dinero, ropa, aceitunas, uvas, ovejas, ganado, ni hombres ni mujeres como siervos. 27 Ahora tú y tus hijos contraerán la enfermedad de Naamán. ¡Siempre tendrás la lepra!
Desde el momento que Guiezi salió de ahí, su piel quedó tan blanca como la nieve y quedó enfermo de lepra.

Elizej ozdravlja aramejskog zapovjednika
5 Naaman, zapovjednik vojske aramejskoga kralja, bio je ugledan čovjek kojeg je kralj iznimno poštovao jer je BOG preko njega davao Aramejcima pobjedu. No taj je hrabri ratnik bolovao od teške kožne bolesti.
2 Aramejci su u ratnom pohodu na Izrael zarobili jednu mladu Izraelku. Ona je postala sluškinja Naamanove žene.
3 Jednom je rekla svojoj gospodarici: »Kad bi barem moj gospodar posjetio proroka u Samariji! On bi ga izliječio od bolesti.«
4 Tako je Naaman otišao svom gospodaru i ispričao mu što je savjetovala izraelska djevojka.
5 »Idi, svakako«, rekao je kralj Arama, »a ja ću napisati pismo za izraelskoga kralja.«
Naaman je krenuo na put, noseći sa sobom darove od trideset tisuća srebrnjaka[a], šest tisuća zlatnika[b] i deset odora. 6 U pismu, koje je nosio izraelskom kralju, pisalo je: »Znaj da ti po ovom pismu šaljem svoga slugu Naamana. Izliječi ga od kožne bolesti.«
7 Kad je izraelski kralj pročitao pismo, razderao je svoju odjeću i rekao: »Zar sam ja Bog, da mogu oduzimati ili davati život, pa mi ovaj čovjek šalje pismo da izliječim čovjeka s teškom kožnom bolešću? Evo kako traži priliku za sukob!«
8 No kad je Božji čovjek Elizej čuo da je kralj Izraela razderao svoju odjeću, ovako mu je poručio: »Zašto si razderao svoju odjeću? Neka taj čovjek dođe k meni i uvjeri se da ima prorok u Izraelu.«
9 I tako je Naaman stigao sa svojim konjima i kočijama pred Elizejevu kuću.
10 Elizej mu je samo poslao glasnika s porukom: »Idi i okupaj se u Jordanu sedam puta. Tvoja će se koža obnoviti i bit ćeš čist.«
11 No Naaman se razljutio i otišao odande govoreći: »Mislio sam, sigurno će izaći van i stati pred mene, zazvati ime svog BOGA, mahnuti rukom i izliječiti me. 12 Zar nisu Abana i Parpar, rijeke u Damasku, bolje od svih voda u Izraelu? Zar se nisam u njima mogao okupati i očistiti?«
Bijesan, okrenuo se da ode.
13 No prišli su mu njegovi sluge i rekli: »Oče[c], da ti je prorok zapovjedio da učiniš nešto teže, ne bi li to učinio? Pa zašto ga onda ne poslušaš kad ti samo kaže: ‘Okupaj se i bit ćeš čist’?«
14 Nato je Naaman otišao i sedam se puta uronio u Jordan, kao što mu je rekao Božji čovjek. Koža mu se obnovila i očistila. Izgledala je kao koža malog djeteta.
15 Tada se Naaman s cijelom pratnjom vratio Božjem čovjeku.
Stao je pred njega i rekao: »Sad znam da nigdje nema Boga, osim u Izraelu. Molim te, primi dar svoga sluge.«
16 No prorok je odgovorio: »Zaklinjem se BOGU, kojem služim, neću primiti nikakav dar.«
Iako je Naaman navaljivao, Elizej nije htio prihvatiti.
17 »Ako nećeš«, rekao je tada Naaman, »molim te dopusti meni, svome slugi, da uzmem onoliko zemlje koliko dvije mazge mogu ponijeti[d] jer više neću prinositi paljenice niti žrtvovati bilo kome drugome, osim BOGU. 18 I neka mi BOG oprosti samo jedno: Kad moj gospodar bude odlazio u hram boga Rimona[e], na bogoštovlje, oslanjajući se na moju ruku, te se i ja tamo poklonim, neka mi BOG to oprosti.«
19 »Idi u miru!« reče mu Elizej.
Nakon što je Naaman prešao mali dio puta, 20 Gehazi, sluga Božjeg čovjeka Elizeja, pomisli: »Moj je gospodar bio preblag prema tom Aramejcu Naamanu kad nije od njega ništa primio. Zaklinjem se BOGU, požurit ću za njim i uzeti nešto od njega.«
21 Tako je Gehazi požurio za Naamanom.
Kad je Naaman vidio da netko trči za njim, sišao je s kola, dočekao ga i upitao: »Je li sve u redu?«
22 »Sve je u redu«, odgovorio je Gehazi. »Gospodar me poslao da ti kažem kako su upravo iz Efrajimova gorskog kraja stigla dvojica mladića iz družine proroka. Molim te, daj za njih tri tisuće srebrnjaka[f] i dva odijela.«
23 »Molim te, uzmi šest tisuća srebrnjaka[g]«, rekao je Naaman. Nagovarao ga je i zavezao šest tisuća srebrnjaka i dva odijela u dvije vreće pa je sve natovario na dvojicu svojih slugu, da nose ispred Gehazija. 24 Kad je Gehazi stigao do Elizejevog brda, uzeo je darove, ostavio ih u kući i otpustio Naamanove sluge. 25 Potom je otišao do svoga gospodara Elizeja i stao pred njega.
»Gdje si bio, Gehazi?« upitao je Elizej.
»Tvoj sluga nikamo nije išao«, odgovorio je Gehazi.
26 No Elizej mu je rekao: »Nisam li u duhu bio s tobom kad je onaj čovjek sišao s kola da te dočeka? Zar je sad vrijeme za primanje novca i odjeće, kupovanje maslinika i vinograda, ovaca i goveda, sluga i sluškinja? 27 Sad će Naamanova bolest prijeći na tebe i na tvoje potomke zauvijek.«
Gehazi je otišao od Elizeja kože bijele kao snijeg. Dobio je bolest.
