Eliseo sana a Naamán
5 Naamán, comandante del ejército del rey de Aram, era un hombre de mucho prestigio y gozaba del favor de su rey porque, por medio de él, el Señor había dado victorias a su país. Era un soldado valiente, pero tenía una enfermedad en la piel.
2 En cierta ocasión los arameos, que habían salido a merodear, capturaron a una muchacha israelita y la hicieron criada de la esposa de Naamán. 3 Un día la muchacha dijo a su ama: «Ojalá el amo fuera a ver al profeta que hay en Samaria, porque él lo sanaría de su enfermedad en la piel».[a]
4 Naamán fue a contarle al rey lo que la muchacha israelita había dicho. 5 El rey de Aram le respondió:
—Bien, puedes ir; yo le mandaré una carta al rey de Israel.
Y así Naamán se fue, llevando diez talentos[b] de plata, seis mil siclos[c] de oro y diez mudas de ropa. 6 La carta que le llevó al rey de Israel decía: «Cuando te llegue esta carta, verás que el portador es Naamán, uno de mis oficiales. Te lo envío para que lo sanes de su enfermedad en la piel».
7 Al leer la carta, el rey de Israel se rasgó las vestiduras y exclamó: «¿Y acaso soy Dios, capaz de dar vida o muerte, para que este hombre me pida sanar a uno con su piel enferma? ¡Fíjense bien que me está buscando pleito!».
8 Cuando Eliseo, hombre de Dios, se enteró de que el rey de Israel se había rasgado las vestiduras, le envió este mensaje: «¿Por qué está usted tan molesto?[d] ¡Mándeme usted a ese hombre para que sepa que hay profeta en Israel!». 9 Así que Naamán, con sus caballos y sus carros, fue a la casa de Eliseo y se detuvo ante la puerta. 10 Entonces Eliseo envió un mensajero a que le dijera: «Ve y zambúllete siete veces en el río Jordán; así tu piel sanará y quedarás limpio».
11 Naamán se enfureció y se fue, quejándose: «¡Yo creí que el profeta saldría a recibirme personalmente para invocar el nombre del Señor su Dios, y que con un movimiento de la mano me sanaría la piel de mi enfermedad! 12 ¿Acaso los ríos de Damasco, el Abaná y el Farfar, no son mejores que toda el agua de Israel? ¿Acaso no podría zambullirme en ellos y quedar limpio?». Furioso, dio media vuelta y se marchó.
13 Entonces sus criados se acercaron para aconsejarle: «Señor,[e] si el profeta le hubiera mandado hacer algo complicado, ¿usted no le habría hecho caso? ¡Con más razón si lo único que le dice a usted es que se zambulla, y así quedará limpio!». 14 Así que Naamán bajó al Jordán y se sumergió siete veces, según se lo había ordenado el hombre de Dios. ¡Entonces su piel se volvió como la de un niño y quedó limpio! 15 Luego Naamán volvió con todos sus acompañantes y, presentándose ante el hombre de Dios, dijo:
—Ahora reconozco que no hay Dios en todo el mundo, excepto en Israel. Le ruego a usted aceptar un regalo de su servidor.
16 Pero Eliseo respondió:
—¡Tan cierto como que vive el Señor, a quien yo sirvo, no voy a aceptar nada!
Y por más que insistió Naamán, Eliseo no accedió.
17 —En ese caso —persistió Naamán—, permítame usted llevarme dos cargas de esta tierra,[f] ya que de aquí en adelante su servidor no va a ofrecerle holocaustos ni sacrificios a ningún otro dios, sino solo al Señor. 18 Y, cuando mi señor el rey vaya a adorar en el templo de Rimón y se apoye de mi brazo, y yo me vea obligado a adorar allí, desde ahora ruego al Señor que me perdone por adorar en ese templo.
19 —Puedes irte en paz —respondió Eliseo.
Naamán se fue y ya había recorrido cierta distancia 20 cuando Guiezi, el criado de Eliseo, hombre de Dios, pensó: «Mi amo ha sido demasiado bondadoso con este arameo Naamán, pues no le aceptó nada de lo que había traído. Pero, tan cierto como que el Señor vive, yo voy a correr tras él, a ver si me da algo».
21 Así que Guiezi se fue para alcanzar a Naamán. Cuando este lo vio correr tras él, se bajó de su carro para recibirlo y lo saludó. 22 Respondiendo al saludo, Guiezi dijo:
—Mi amo me ha enviado con este mensaje: “Dos jóvenes de la comunidad de profetas acaban de llegar de la región montañosa de Efraín. Te pido que me des para ellos un talento[g] de plata y dos mudas de ropa”.
23 —Por favor, llévate dos talentos —respondió Naamán, e insistió en que los aceptara.
Echó entonces los talentos de plata en dos sacos, junto con las dos mudas de ropa, y todo esto se lo entregó a dos criados para que lo llevaran delante de Guiezi. 24 Al llegar a la colina, Guiezi tomó los sacos y los guardó en la casa; después despidió a los hombres y estos se fueron. 25 Entonces Guiezi se presentó ante su amo.
—¿De dónde vienes, Guiezi? —preguntó Eliseo.
—Su servidor no ha ido a ninguna parte —respondió Guiezi.
26 Eliseo respondió:
—¿No estaba yo presente en espíritu cuando aquel hombre se bajó de su carro para recibirte? ¿Acaso es este el momento de recibir dinero y ropa, olivares y viñedos, ovejas y bueyes, criados y criadas? 27 Ahora la enfermedad de Naamán se te pegará a ti y a tus descendientes para siempre.
No bien había salido Guiezi de la presencia de Eliseo cuando ya estaba blanco como la nieve por causa de la enfermedad en su piel.

2 Kings 5
King James Version
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.

乃缦患大麻风求治于以利沙
5 亚兰王的元帅乃缦在他主人面前为尊为大，因耶和华曾借他使亚兰人得胜。他又是大能的勇士，只是长了大麻风。 2 先前亚兰人成群地出去，从以色列国掳了一个小女子，这女子就服侍乃缦的妻。 3 她对主母说：“巴不得我主人去见撒马利亚的先知，必能治好他的大麻风。” 4 乃缦进去，告诉他主人说：“以色列国的女子如此如此说。” 5 亚兰王说：“你可以去，我也达信于以色列王。”于是乃缦带银子十他连得、金子六千舍客勒、衣裳十套，就去了。 6 且带信给以色列王，信上说：“我打发臣仆乃缦去见你，你接到这信，就要治好他的大麻风。” 7 以色列王看了信就撕裂衣服，说：“我岂是神，能使人死使人活呢？这人竟打发人来，叫我治好他的大麻风！你们看一看，这人何以寻隙攻击我呢？”
浴于约旦河得洁
8 神人以利沙听见以色列王撕裂衣服，就打发人去见王，说：“你为什么撕了衣服呢？可使那人到我这里来，他就知道以色列中有先知了。” 9 于是乃缦带着车马到了以利沙的家，站在门前。 10 以利沙打发一个使者对乃缦说：“你去在约旦河中沐浴七回，你的肉就必复原，而得洁净。” 11 乃缦却发怒走了，说：“我想他必定出来见我，站着求告耶和华他神的名，在患处以上摇手，治好这大麻风。 12 大马士革的河亚罢拿和法珥法岂不比以色列的一切水更好吗？我在那里沐浴不得洁净吗？”于是气愤愤地转身去了。 13 他的仆人进前来，对他说：“我父啊，先知若吩咐你做一件大事，你岂不做吗？何况说你去沐浴而得洁净呢？” 14 于是乃缦下去，照着神人的话，在约旦河里沐浴七回。他的肉复原，好像小孩子的肉，他就洁净了。
乃缦馈物以利沙不受
15 乃缦带着一切跟随他的人回到神人那里，站在他面前，说：“如今我知道，除了以色列之外，普天下没有神。现在求你收点仆人的礼物。” 16 以利沙说：“我指着所侍奉永生的耶和华起誓，我必不受。”乃缦再三地求他，他却不受。 17 乃缦说：“你若不肯受，请将两骡子驮的土赐给仆人。从今以后，仆人必不再将燔祭或平安祭献于别神，只献给耶和华。 18 唯有一件事，愿耶和华饶恕你仆人：我主人进临门庙叩拜的时候，我用手搀他在临门庙，我也屈身。我在临门庙屈身的这事，愿耶和华饶恕我！” 19 以利沙对他说：“你可以平平安安地回去。”乃缦就离开他去了，走了不远。
基哈西之贪冒
20 神人以利沙的仆人基哈西心里说：“我主人不愿从这亚兰人乃缦手里受他带来的礼物，我指着永生的耶和华起誓，我必跑去追上他，向他要些。” 21 于是基哈西追赶乃缦。乃缦看见有人追赶，就急忙下车迎着他，说：“都平安吗？” 22 说：“都平安。我主人打发我来说：‘刚才有两个少年人，是先知门徒，从以法莲山地来见我，请你赐他们一他连得银子、两套衣裳。’” 23 乃缦说：“请受二他连得。”再三地请受，便将二他连得银子装在两个口袋里，又将两套衣裳交给两个仆人，他们就在基哈西前头抬着走。 24 到了山冈，基哈西从他们手中接过来，放在屋里，打发他们回去。
得财致患大麻风
25 基哈西进去，站在他主人面前。以利沙问他说：“基哈西，你从哪里来？”回答说：“仆人没有往哪里去。” 26 以利沙对他说：“那人下车转回迎你的时候，我的心岂没有去呢？这岂是受银子、衣裳，买橄榄园、葡萄园、牛羊、仆婢的时候呢？ 27 因此，乃缦的大麻风必沾染你和你的后裔，直到永远。”基哈西从以利沙面前退出去，就长了大麻风，像雪那样白。

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)
