Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria: and he was a valiant man and rich, but a leper.
1亞蘭 王的元帥 乃縵 在他主人面前為尊為大,因耶和華曾藉他使 亞蘭 人得勝;他又是大能的勇士,只是長了大痲瘋。
2Now there had gone out robbers from Syria, and had led away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid, and she waited upon Naaman’s wife.
2先前 亞蘭 人成群地出去,從 以色列 國擄了一個小女子,這女子就服事 乃縵 的妻。
3And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the prophet, that is in Samaria: he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath.
3她對主母說:「巴不得我主人去見 撒馬利亞 的先知,必能治好他的大痲瘋。」
4Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said tile girl from the land of Israel.
4乃縵 進去,告訴他主人說, 以色列 國的女子如此如此說。
5And the king of Syria sad to him: Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and tell changes of raiment,
5亞蘭 王說:「你可以去,我也達信於 以色列 王。」於是 乃縵 帶銀子十他連得,金子六千 舍客勒 ,衣裳十套,就去了;
6And brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: When thou shalt receive this letter, know that I have sent to thee Naaman my servant, that thou mayest heal him of his leprosy.
6且帶信給 以色列 王,信上說:「我打發臣僕 乃縵 去見你,你接到這信,就要治好他的大痲瘋。」
7And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments, and said: Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man hath sent to me, to heal a man of his leprosy? mark, and see how he seeketh occasions against me.
7以色列 王看了信就撕裂衣服,說:「我豈是上帝,能使人死使人活呢?這人竟打發人來,叫我治好他的大痲瘋。你們看一看,這人何以尋隙攻擊我呢?」
8And when Eliseus the man of God had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.
8神人 以利沙 聽見 以色列 王撕裂衣服,就打發人去見王,說:「你為甚麼撕了衣服呢?可使那人到我這裏來,他就知道 以色列 中有先知了。」
9So Naaman came with Iris horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus:
9於是, 乃縵 帶着車馬到了 以利沙 的家,站在門前。
10And Eliseus sent a messenger to him, saying: Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and thy flesh shall recover health, and thee shalt be clean.
10以利沙 打發一個使者,對 乃縵 說:「你去在 約旦河 中沐浴七回,你的肉就必復原,而得潔淨。」
11Naaman was angry and went away, saying: I thought he would hare come out to me, and standing would hare invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me.
11乃縵 卻發怒走了,說:「我想他必定出來見我,站着求告耶和華-他上帝的名,在患處以上搖手,治好這大痲瘋。
12Are not the Abana, and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation,
12大馬士革 的河 亞罷拿 和 法珥法 豈不比 以色列 的一切水更好嗎?我在那裏沐浴不得潔淨嗎?」於是氣忿忿地轉身去了。
13His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt he clean?
13他的僕人進前來,對他說:「我父啊,先知若吩咐你做一件大事,你豈不做嗎?何況說你去沐浴而得潔淨呢?」
14Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times: according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child, and he was made clean.
14於是 乃縵 下去,照着神人的話,在 約旦河 裏沐浴七回;他的肉復原,好像小孩子的肉,他就潔淨了。
15And returning to the man of God with all his train, be came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee therefore take a blessing of thy servant.
15乃縵 帶着一切跟隨他的人,回到神人那裏,站在他面前,說:「如今我知道,除了 以色列 之外,普天下沒有上帝。現在求你收點僕人的禮物。」
16But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still refused.
16以利沙 說:「我指着所事奉永生的耶和華起誓,我必不受。」 乃縵 再三地求他,他卻不受。
17And Naaman said: As thou wilt: but I beseech thee, grant to me thy servant, to take from hence two mules’ burden of earth: for thy servant will not henceforth offer holocaust, or victim, to other gods, but to the Lord.
17乃縵 說:「你若不肯受,請將兩騾子馱的土賜給僕人。從今以後,僕人必不再將燔祭或 平安 祭獻與別神,只獻給耶和華。
18But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant, when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship: and he leaneth upon my hand, if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me thy servant for this thing.
18惟有一件事,願耶和華饒恕你僕人:我主人進 臨門 廟叩拜的時候,我用手攙他在 臨門 廟,我也屈身。我在 臨門 廟屈身的這事,願耶和華饒恕我。」
19And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.
19以利沙 對他說:「你可以平平安安地回去!」 乃縵 就離開他去了;走了不遠,
20But Giezi the servant of the man of God said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take some thing of him:
20神人 以利沙 的僕人 基哈西 心裏 說:「我主人不願從這 亞蘭 人 乃縵 手裏受他帶來的禮物,我指着永生的耶和華起誓,我必跑去追上他,向他要些。」
21And Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Is all well?
21於是 基哈西 追趕 乃縵 。 乃縵 看見有人追趕,就急忙下車迎着他,說:「都平安嗎?」
22And he said: Well: my master hath sent me to thee, saying: Just now there are come to me from mount Ephraim, two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
22說:「都平安。我主人打發我來說:『剛才有兩個少年人,是先知門徒,從 以法蓮 山地來見我,請你賜他們一他連得銀子,兩套衣裳。』」
23And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him.
23乃縵 說:「請受二他連得」;再三地請受,便將二他連得銀子裝在兩個口袋裏,又將兩套衣裳交給兩個僕人;他們就在 基哈西 前頭抬着走。
24And when he was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, and they departed.
24到了山岡, 基哈西 從他們手中接過來,放在屋裏,打發他們回去。
25But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither.
25基哈西 進去,站在他主人面前。 以利沙 問他說:「 基哈西 你從哪裏來?」回答說:「僕人沒有往哪裏去。」
26But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.
26以利沙 對他說:「那人下車轉回迎你的時候,我的心豈沒有去呢?這豈是受銀子、衣裳、 買 橄欖園、葡萄園、牛羊、僕婢的時候呢?
27But the leprosy of Naaman shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from him a leper as white as snow.
27因此, 乃縵 的大痲瘋必沾染你和你的後裔,直到永遠。」 基哈西 從 以利沙 面前退出去,就長了大痲瘋,像雪 那樣白 。
