1 Now 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. 2 The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little girl, and she waited on Naaman’s wife. 3 She 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."

4 Someone went in and told his lord, saying, "The girl who is from the land of Israel said this."

5 The 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, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing. 6 He 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."

7 When the king of Israel had read the letter, 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."

8 It 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."

9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10 Elisha 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."

11 But 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.’ 12 Aren’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.

13 His 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?’"

14 Then 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.

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

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

10 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 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 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 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 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.
