|
|
7. It happened, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man does send to me to recover a man of his leprosy? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.
|
7. And it came to pass H1961 , when the king H4428 of Israel H3478 had read H7121 H853 the letter H5612 , that he rent H7167 his clothes H899 , and said H559 , Am I H589 God H430 , to kill H4191 and to make alive H2421 , that H3588 this H2088 man doth send H7971 unto H413 me to recover H622 a man H376 of his leprosy H4480 H6883 ? wherefore H3588 H389 consider H3045 , I pray you H4994 , and see H7200 how H3588 he H1931 seeketh a quarrel H579 against me.

|
|
12. Aren't Abanah and Pharpar, the 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. His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid you do some great thing, wouldn't you have done it? how much rather then, when he says to you, Wash, and be clean?
|
13. And his servants H5650 came near H5066 , and spoke H1696 unto H413 him , and said H559 , My father H1 , if the prophet H5030 had bid H1696 H413 thee do some great H1419 thing H1697 , wouldest thou not H3808 have done H6213 it ? how much rather H637 then, when H3588 he saith H559 to H413 thee, Wash H7364 , and be clean H2891 ?

|
|
15. He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, please take a present from your servant.
|
15. And he returned H7725 to H413 the man H376 of God H430 , he H1931 and all H3605 his company H4264 , and came H935 , and stood H5975 before H6440 him : and he said H559 , Behold H2009 , now H4994 I know H3045 that H3588 there is no H369 God H430 in all H3605 the earth H776 , but H3588 H518 in Israel H3478 : now H6258 therefore , I pray thee H4994 , take H3947 a blessing H1293 of H4480 H854 thy servant H5650 .
|
|
16. But he said, As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. He urged him to take it; but he refused.

|
|
17. Naaman said, If not, yet, please let there be given to your servant two mules' burden of earth; for your servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Yahweh.
|
17. And Naaman H5283 said H559 , Shall there not H3808 then , I pray thee H4994 , be given H5414 to thy servant H5650 two mules H6776 H6505 ' burden H4853 of earth H127 ? for H3588 thy servant H5650 will henceforth H5750 offer H6213 neither H3808 burnt offering H5930 nor sacrifice H2077 unto other H312 gods H430 , but H3588 H518 unto the LORD H3068 .
|
|
18. In this thing Yahweh 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, Yahweh pardon your servant in this thing.
|
18. In this H2088 thing H1697 the LORD H3068 pardon H5545 thy servant H5650 , that when my master H113 goeth H935 into the house H1004 of Rimmon H7417 to worship H7812 there H8033 , and he H1931 leaneth H8172 on H5921 my hand H3027 , and I bow myself H7812 in the house H1004 of Rimmon H7417 : when I bow down myself H7812 in the house H1004 of Rimmon H7417 , the LORD H3068 pardon H5545 thy servant H5650 in this H2088 thing H1697 .

|
|
20. But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: as Yahweh lives, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.
|
20. But Gehazi H1522 , the servant H5288 of Elisha H477 the man H376 of God H430 , said H559 , Behold H2009 , my master H113 hath spared H2820 H853 Naaman H5283 this H2088 Syrian H761 , in not receiving H4480 H3947 at his hands H4480 H3027 H853 that which H834 he brought H935 : but H3588 H518 , as the LORD H3068 liveth H2416 , I will run H7323 after H310 him , and take H3947 somewhat H3972 of H4480 H854 him.
|
|
21. So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
|
21. So Gehazi H1522 followed H7291 after H310 Naaman H5283 . And when Naaman H5283 saw H7200 him running H7323 after H310 him , he lighted down H5307 from H4480 H5921 the chariot H4818 to meet H7122 him , and said H559 , Is all well H7965 ?
|
|
22. He said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, even now there are come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; please give them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing.
|
22. And he said H559 , All is well H7965 . My master H113 hath sent H7971 me, saying H559 , Behold H2009 , even now H6258 H2088 there be come H935 to H413 me from mount H4480 H2022 Ephraim H669 two H8147 young men H5288 of the sons H4480 H1121 of the prophets H5030 : give H5414 them , I pray thee H4994 , a talent H3603 of silver H3701 , and two H8147 changes H2487 of garments H899 .

|
23. Naaman said, Be pleased to take two talents. He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they bore them before him.
|
23. And Naaman H5283 said H559 , Be content H2974 , take H3947 two talents H3603 .

|
|
25. But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, Whence come you, Gehazi? He said, Your servant went no where.
|
25. But he H1931 went in H935 , and stood H5975 before H413 his master H113 . And Elisha H477 said H559 unto H413 him, Whence H4480 H370 comest thou , Gehazi H1522 ? And he said H559 , Thy servant H5650 went H1980 no H3808 whither H575 H575 .
|
|
26. He said to him, Didn't 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 garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and maid-servants?
|
26. And he said H559 unto H413 him, Went H1980 not H3808 mine heart H3820 with thee , when H834 the man H376 turned again H2015 from H4480 H5921 his chariot H4818 to meet H7122 thee? Is it a time H6256 to receive H3947 H853 money H3701 , and to receive H3947 garments H899 , and oliveyards H2132 , and vineyards H3754 , and sheep H6629 , and oxen H1241 , and menservants H5650 , and maidservants H8198 ?
|
|
27. The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave to you, and to your seed forever. He went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
|
27. The leprosy H6883 therefore of Naaman H5283 shall cleave H1692 unto thee , and unto thy seed H2233 forever H5769 . And he went out H3318 from his presence H4480 H6440 a leper H6879 as white as snow H7950 .
