1 Na'aman, Kongen af Arams Hærfører, havde meget at sige hos sin Herre og var højt agtet; thi ved ham havde HERREN givet Aramæerne Sejr; men Manden var spedalsk.
1 Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given victory to Aram. The man was also a valiant warrior, but he was a leper.
5 Da sagde Arams Konge: "Rejs derhen! Jeg skal sende etBrevmed til Israels Konge!" Så rejste han og tog ti Talenter Sølv, 6000 Sekel Guld og ti Sæt Festklæder med.
5 Then the king of Aram said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He departed and took with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold and ten changes of clothes.
6 Og han overbragte IsraelsKonge Brevet. Deri stod der: "Når dette Brev kommer dig i Hænde, skal du vide, at jeg sender min Tjener Na'aman til dig, for at du skal skille ham af med hans Spedalskhed!"
6 He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “And now as this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy.”
7 Da Israels Konge havde læst Brevet, sønderrev han sine klæder og sagde: "Er jeg Gud, så jeg råder over Liv og Død, siden han skriver til mig, at jeg skal skille en Mand afmed hans Spedalskhed Nej, I kan da se, at han søger Lejlighed til Strid med mig!"
7 When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But consider now, and see how he is seeking a quarrel against me.”
8 Men da den Guds Mand Elisa hørte, at Israels Konge havde sønderrevet sine klæder, sendte han det Bud til Kongen: "Hvorfor sønderriver du dine Klæder? Lad ham komme til mig, så skal han kende, at der er en Profet i Israel!"
8 It happened when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent word to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Now let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
11 Men Na'aman blev vred og drog bort med de Ord: "Se, jeg havde tænkt, at han vilde komme ud til mig, stå og påkalde HERREN sin Guds Navn og svinge sin Hånd i Retning af Helligdommen og således gøre Ende på Spedalskheden!
11 But Naaman was furious 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 wave his hand over the place and cure the leper.’
12 Er ikke Damaskus's Floder Abana og Parpar fuldt så gode som alle Israels Vande? Kunde jeg ikke blive ren ved at bade mig i dem?" Og han vendte sig og drog bort i Vrede.
12 Are not Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.
13 Men hans Trælle kom og sagde til ham: "Dersom Profeten havde pålagt dig noget, som var vanskeligt vilde du så ikke have gjort det? Hvor meget mere da nu, da han sagde til dig: Bad dig, så bliver du ren!"
13 Then his servants came near and spoke to him and said, “My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”
14 Så drog han ned og dykkede sig syv Gange i Jordan efter den Guds Mands Ord; og hans Legeme blev atter friskt som et Barns, og han blev ren.
14 So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child and he was clean.
15 Så vendte han med hele sit Følge tilbage til den Guds Mand, og da han var kommet derhen, trådtehan frem forham og sagde: "Nu ved jeg, at der ingensteds på Jorden er nogen Gud uden i Israel! Så modtag nu en Takkegave af din Træl!"
15 When he returned to the man of God with all his company, and came and stood before him, he said, “Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel; so please take a present from your servant now.”
17 Da sagde Na'aman: "Så lad da være! Men lad din Træl få så megel Jord, som et Par Muldyr kan bære, thi din Træl vil aldrig mere ofre Brændoffer eller Slagtoffer til nogen anden Gud end HERREN!
17 Naaman said, “If not, please let your servant at least be given two mules’ load of earth; for your servant will no longer offer burnt offering nor will he sacrifice to other gods, but to the Lord.
18 Men i een Ting vil HERREN nok bære over med din Træl: Når min Herre går ind i Rimmons Hus for at tilbede og støtfer sig til min Arm og jeg så sammen med ham kaster mig til Jorden i Rimmons Hus, da vil HERREN nok bære over ed din Træl i den Ting!"
18 In this matter may the Lord pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, the Lord pardon your servant in this matter.”
20 sagde Gehazi, den Guds Mand Elisas Tjener, ved sig selv: "Der har min Herre ladet denne Aramæer Na'aman slippe og ikke modtaget af ham, hvad han havde med; så sandt HERREN lever, jeg vil løbe efter ham for at få noget af ham!"
20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, thought, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, by not receiving from his hands what he brought. As the Lord lives, I will run after him and take something from him.”
22 Han svarede: "Ja, det står godt til! Min Herre sender mig med det Bud: Der kom lige nu to unge Mænd, som hører til Profetsønnerne, til mig fra Efraims Bjerge: giv dem en Talent Sølv og to Sæt Festklæder!"
22 He said, “All is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes.’”
23 Da sagde Na'aman: "Tag dog mod to Talenter Sølv!" Og han nødte ham. Så bandt han to Talenter ind i to Punge og tog to Sæt Festklæder og gav to af sine Trælle dem, for at de skulde bære dem foran ham.
23 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 clothes and gave them to two of his servants; and they carried them before him.
26 Så sagde han til ham: "Gik jeg ikke i Ånden hos dig, da en stod af sin Vogn og gik tilbage for at møde dig? Nu har du fået Penge, og du kan få Klæder, Olivenlunde og Vingårde, Småkvæg og Hornkvæg, Trælle og Trælkvinder,
26 Then he said to him, “Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money and to receive clothes and olive groves and vineyards and sheep and oxen and male and female servants?
