王下5:1 亚兰王的军长乃缦在他的主人面前是一个大人物，很得王的赏识，因为耶和华曾藉他把胜利赐给亚兰。这个人是个勇猛的战士，可惜他是个痲风病人。
王下5:1 Now Naaman, chief of the army of the king of Aram, was a man of high position with his master, and greatly respected, because by him the Lord had given salvation to Aram; but he was a leper.
王下5:2 亚兰人曾经出去结队抢掠，从以色列地掳了一个小女孩，她就侍候乃缦的妻子。
王下5:2 Now the Aramaeans had gone out in bands, and taken prisoner from Israel a little girl, who became servant to Naaman's wife.
王下5:3 她对她的女主人说：“如果我的主人去见撒玛利亚的先知就好了，他必定能治好他的痲风。”
王下5:3 And she said to her master's wife, If only my lord would go to the prophet in Samaria, he would make him well.
王下5:4 于是乃缦去告诉他的主人说：“从以色列地掳回来的女孩子这样这样说。”
王下5:4 And someone went and said to his lord, This is what the girl from the land of Israel says.
王下5:5 亚兰王说：“你去吧！我会送一封书信给以色列王的。”于是乃缦去了，手里带着三百公斤银子，约七十公斤金子和十套衣裳。
王下5:5 So the king of Aram said, Go then; and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, taking with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
王下5:6 他把信带到以色列王那里，信上说：“这信既已达到你那里，你看见我差去见你的臣仆乃缦，你就要医好他的痲风。”
王下5:6 And he took the letter to the king of Israel, in which the king of Aram had said, See, I have sent my servant Naaman to you to be made well, for he is a leper.
王下5:7 以色列王读了这信后，就撕裂自己的衣服，说：“我是 神，能使人死使人活吗？这人竟派人到我这里来，要我治好他的痲风。请你们想想看，他是要找机会攻击我。”
王下5:7 But the king of Israel, after reading the letter, was greatly troubled and said, Am I God, to give death and life? why does this man send a leper to me to be made well? is it not clear that he is looking for a cause of war?
王下5:8 神人以利沙听见以色列王撕裂自己的衣服，就打发人去见王说：“你为什么撕裂自己的衣服呢？请你把他送到我这里来吧！他就知道在以色列中有先知了。”
王下5:8 Now Elisha, the man of God, hearing that the king of Israel had done this, sent to the king, saying, Why are you troubled? send the man to me, so that he may see that there is a prophet in Israel.
王下5:9 于是乃缦带着他的车马来到，停在以利沙的门前。
王下5:9 So Naaman, with all his horses and his carriages, came to the door of Elisha's house.
王下5:10 以利沙差派一个使者去见他说：“你去在约旦河中沐浴七次，你的身体就会复原，得着洁净。”
王下5:10 And Elisha sent a servant to him, saying, Go to Jordan, and after washing seven times in its waters your flesh will be well again and you will be clean.
王下5:11 乃缦却发怒走了，他说：“我以为他必会出来，站着求告耶和华他的 神的名，向着患处摇手，洁净这痲风病。
王下5:11 But Naaman was angry and went away and said, I had the idea that he would come out to see such an important person as I am, and make prayer to the Lord his God, and with a wave of his hand over the place make the leper well.
王下5:12 大马士革的亚罢拿河和法珥法河，不是比以色列一切河流更好吗？我不是可以在那里沐浴，得着洁净吗？”于是他掉过头来，气忿忿地走了。
王下5:12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not be washed in them and become clean? So turning, he went away in wrath.
王下5:13 他的仆人上前，对他说：“我父啊，先知如果吩咐你作一件大事，你不是照着行吗？何况他只是说：‘你去沐浴就得洁净’呢？”
王下5:13 Then his servants came to him and said, If the prophet had given you orders to do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much more then, when he says to you, Be washed and become clean?
王下5:14 于是他下去，在约旦河里浸了七趟，正如神人所吩咐的。他的肌肉就复原，好像小孩子的肌肉，他就得了洁净。
王下5:14 Then he went down seven times into the waters of Jordan, as the man of God had said; and his flesh became like the flesh of a little child again, and he was clean.
王下5:15 乃缦和他的随员又回到神人那里，他进去，站在他面前，说：“看哪！现在我知道除了在以色列以外，全地都没有 神。现在，请你收下你仆人一点礼物吧。”
王下5:15 Then he went back to the man of God, with all his train, and, taking his place before him, said, Now I am certain that there is no God in all the earth, but only in Israel: now then, take an offering from me.
王下5:16 以利沙说：“我指着我所事奉永活的耶和华起誓，我决不收取任何礼物。”乃缦再三促请他接受，都被他拒绝。
王下5:16 But he said, By the life of the Lord whose servant I am, I will take nothing from you. And he did his best to make him take it but he would not.
王下5:17 乃缦说：“你若是不肯收取，就请你赐你仆人两头驴子可以驮的泥土，因为你的仆人不再献燔祭或别的祭给别的神，只献给耶和华。
王下5:17 Then Naaman said, If you will not, then let there be given to your servant as much earth as two beasts are able to take on their backs; because from now on, your servant will make no offering or burned offering to other gods, but only to the Lord.
王下5:18 但有一件事，求耶和华赦免你的仆人；我的主人到临门庙那里叩拜的时候，他总是靠在我的手臂上，因此，我也曾在临门庙叩拜。我在临门庙叩拜这事，求耶和华赦免你的仆人。”
王下5:18 But may your servant have the Lord's forgiveness for this one thing: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon for worship there, supported on my arm, and my head is bent in the house of Rimmon; when his head is bent in the house of Rimmon, may your servant have the Lord's forgiveness for this thing.
王下5:19 以利沙说：“你平平安安回去吧。”于是乃缦离开他去了，走了一段路程。
王下5:19 And he said to him, Go in peace. And he went from him some distance.
王下5:20 神人以利沙的仆人基哈西心里说：“看哪，我主人不肯从这亚兰人乃缦手中收取他带来的礼物；我指着永活的耶和华起誓，我要追上他，向他要些东西。”
王下5:20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, the man of God, said, Now my master has taken nothing from Naaman, this Aramaean, of what he would have given him: by the living Lord, I will go after him and get something from him.
王下5:21 于是基哈西追赶乃缦。乃缦看见有人追上来，就下车迎着他，说：“平安吗？”
王下5:21 So Gehazi went after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from his carriage and went back to him and said, Is all well?
王下5:22 他说：“平安。我主人派我来说：‘刚才有两位年轻人，都是先知的门徒，从以法莲山地来到我这里，请你给他们三十公斤银子和两套衣服。’”
王下5:22 And he said, All is well: but my master has sent me, saying, Even now, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; will you give me a talent of silver and two changes of clothing for them?
王下5:23 乃缦说：“请你拿六十公斤吧。”他再三促请基哈西，并把六十公斤银子，装在两个袋子里，还有两套衣服，交给两个仆人。他们就在基哈西前面捧着走。
王下5:23 And Naaman said, Be good enough to take two talents. And forcing him to take them, he put two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and gave them to his two servants to take before him.
王下5:24 到达山冈后，他就从他们手中接过东西，存放在屋子里，然后打发他们离去，他们就走了。
王下5:24 When he came to the hill, he took them from their hands, and put them away in the house; and he sent the men away, and they went.
王下5:25 他进去，侍立在他主人面前，以利沙对他说：“基哈西，你从哪里来？”他说：“你的仆人没有到过什么地方。”
王下5:25 Then he came in and took his place before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you come from, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went nowhere.
王下5:26 以利沙对他说：“那人下车转身迎着你的时候，我的心不是和你同去吗？现在不是收受银子、衣服、橄榄园、葡萄园、羊、牛、仆人和婢女的时候。
王下5:26 And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you, when the man got down from his carriage and went back to you? Is this a time for getting money, and clothing, and olive-gardens and vine-gardens, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants?
王下5:27 因此，乃缦的痲风要附在你的身上和你后裔的身上，直到永远。”基哈西从以利沙面前离去时，就长了痲风，好像雪那样白。
王下5:27 Because of what you have done, the disease of Naaman the leper will take you in its grip, and your seed after you, for ever. And he went out from before him a leper as white as snow.
