Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Καὶ Ναιμὰν ὁ ἄρχων τῆς δυνάμεως Συρίας ἦν ἀνὴρ μέγας ἐνώπιον τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ, καὶ τεθαυμασμένος προσώπῳ, ὅτι ἐν ὑτῶ ἔδωκε Κύριος σωτηρίαν Συρίᾳ· καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ ἦν δυνατὸς ἰσχύϊ, λελεπρωμένος.
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.
2Καὶ Συρία ἐξῆλθον μονόζωνοι, καὶ ᾐχμαλώτευσαν ἐκ γῆς Ἰσραὴλ νεάνιδα μικρὰν, καὶ ἦν ἐνώπιον τῆς γυναικὸς Ναιμάν.
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.
3Ἡ δὲ εἶπε τῇ κυρίᾳ αὐτῆς, ὄφελον ὁ κύριός μου ἐνώπιον τοῦ προφήτου τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, τότε ἀποσυνάξει αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ.
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.
4Καὶ εἰσῆλθε καὶ ἀπήγγειλε τῷ κυρίῳ ἑαυτῆς, καὶ εἶπεν, οὕτως καὶ οὕτως ἐλάλησεν ἡ νεᾶνις ἡ ἐκ γῆς Ἰσραήλ.
4Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said tile girl from the land of Israel.
5Καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς Συρίας πρὸς Ναιμὰν, δεῦρο, εἴσελθε καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ βιβλίον πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ δέκα τάλαντα ἀργυρίου, καὶ ἑξακισχιλίους χρυσοῦς, καὶ δέκα ἀλλασσομένας στολὰς.
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,
6Καὶ ἤνεγκε τὸ βιβλίον πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, καὶ νῦν ὡς ἂν ἔλθῃ τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτο πρὸς σὲ, ἰδοὺ ἀπέστειλα πρὸς σὲ Ναιμὰν τὸν δοῦλόν μου, καὶ ἀποσυνάξεις αὐτὸν ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ.
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.
7Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἀνέγνω βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ τὸ βιβλίον, διέῤῥηξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, ὁ Θεὸς ἐγὼ τοῦ θανατῶσαι καὶ ζωοποιῆσαι, ὅτι οὗτος ἀποστέλλει πρὸς μὲ ἀποσυνάξαι ἄνδρα ἀπὸ τῆς λέπρας αὐτοῦ; ὅτι πλὴν γνῶτε δὴ καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι προφασίζεται οὗτός μοι.
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.
8Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν Ἐλισαιὲ, ὅτι διέῤῥηξεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἰσραὴλ, λέγων, ἱνατί διέῤῥηξας τὰ ἱμάτιά σου; ἐλθέτω δὴ πρὸς μὲ Ναιμὰν, καὶ γνώτω ὅτι ἐστι προφήτης ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
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.
9Καὶ ἦλθε Ναιμὰν ἐν ἵππῳ καὶ ἅρματι, καὶ ἔστη ἐπὶ θύρας οἴκου Ἐλισαιέ.
9So Naaman came with Iris horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus:
10Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἐλισαιὲ ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτὸν, λέγων, πορευθεὶς λοῦσαι ἑπτάκις ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ, καὶ ἐπιστρέψει ἡ σάρξ σου σοὶ καὶ καθαρισθήσῃ.
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.
11Καὶ ἐθυμώθη Ναιμάν καὶ ἀπῆλθε, καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ εἶπον, πρὸς μὲ πάντως ἐξελεύσεται καὶ στήσεται, καὶ ἐπικαλέσεται ἐν ὀνόματι Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπιθήσει τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον, καὶ ἀποσυνάξει τὸ λεπρόν.
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.
12Οὐχὶ ἀγαθὸς Ἀβανὰ καὶ Φαρφὰρ ποταμοὶ Δαμασκοῦ ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ ὕδατα Ἰσραὴλ; οὐχὶ πορευθεὶς λούσομαι ἐν αὐτοῖς, καὶ καθαρισθήσομαι; καὶ ἐξέκλινε καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐν θυμῷ.
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,
13Καὶ ἤγγισαν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐλάλησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν, μέγαν λόγον ἐλάλησεν ὁ προφήτης πρὸς σέ· οὐχὶ ποιήσεις; καὶ ὅτι εἶπε πρὸς σέ, λοῦσαι καὶ καθαρίσθητι.
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?
14Καὶ κατέβη Ναιμὰν καὶ ἐβαπτίσατο ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ἑπτάκις κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα Ἐλισαῖε· καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἡ σὰρξ αὐτοῦ ὡς σὰρξ παιδαρίου μικροῦ, καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη.
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.
15Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε πρὸς Ἐλισαιὲ αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶσα ἡ παρεμβολὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθε καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἶπεν, ἰδοὺ ἔγνωκα ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι Θεὸς ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, ὅτι ἀλλʼ ἢ ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ νῦν λάβε τὴν εὐλογίαν παρὰ τοῦ δούλου σου.
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.
16Καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλισαιὲ ζῇ Κύριος ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, εἰ λήψομαι· καὶ παρεβιάσατο αὐτὸν λαβεῖν, καὶ ἠπείθησε·
16But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still refused.
17Καὶ εἶπε Ναιμὰν, καὶ εἰ μὴ, δοθήτω δὴ τῷ δούλῳ σου γόμος ζεῦγος ἡμιόνων, καὶ σύ μοι δώσεις ἐκ τῆς γῆς τῆς πυῤῥᾶς, ὅτι οὐ ποιήσει ἔτι ὁ δοῦλός σου ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ θυσίασμα θεοῖς ἑτέροις ἀλλʼ ἢ τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ ῥήματι τούτῳ.
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.
18Καὶ ἱλάσεται Κύριος τῷ δούλῳ σου ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι τὸν κύριόν μου εἰς οἶκον Ῥεμμὰν προσκυνῆσαι ἐκεῖ· καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπαναπαύσεται ἐπὶ τῆς χειρός μου, καὶ προσκυνήσω ἐν οἴκῳ Ῥεμμὰν ἐν τῷ προσκυνεῖν αὐτὸν ἐν οἴκῳ Ῥεμμάν· καὶ ἱλάσεται δὴ Κύριος τῷ δούλῳ σου ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ.
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.
19Καὶ εἶπεν Ἐλισαιὲ πρὸς Ναιμὰν, δεῦρο εἰς εἰρήνην· καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς δεβραθὰ τῆς γῆς.
19And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.
20Καὶ εἶπε Γιεζὶ τὸ παιδάριον Ἐλισαιὲ, ἰδοὺ ἐφείσατο ὁ κύριός μου τοῦ Ναιμὰν τοῦ Σύρου τούτου, τοῦ μὴ λαβεῖν ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ἃ ἐνήνοχε· ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι εἰ μὴ δραμοῦμαι ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, καὶ λήψομαι ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ τι.
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:
21Καὶ ἐδίωξε Γιεζὶ ὀπίσω τοῦ Ναιμάν· καὶ εἶδεν αὐτὸν Ναιμὰν τρέχοντα ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἅρματος εἰς ἀπαντὴν αὐτοῦ.
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?
22Καὶ εἶπεν, εἰρήνη· ὁ κύριός μου ἀπεστειλέ με, λέγων, ἰδοὺ νῦν ἦλθον πρὸς μὲ δύο παιδάρια ἐξ ὄρους Ἐφραὶμ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν τῶν προφητῶν· δὸς δὴ αὐτοῖς τάλαντον ἀργυρίου, καὶ δύο ἀλλασσομένας στολάς.
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.
23Καὶ εἶπε, λάβε διτάλαντον ἀργυρίου· καὶ ἔλαβε δύο τάλαντα ἀρλυρίον ἐν δυσὶ θυλάκοις, καὶ δύο ἀλλασσομένας στολὰς, καὶ ἔδωκεν ἐπὶ δύο παιδάρια αὐτοῦ, καὶ ᾖραν ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ.
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.
24Καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς τὸ σκοτεινὸν, καὶ ἔλαβεν ἐκ τῶν χειρῶν αὐτῶν, καὶ παρέθετο ἐν οἴκῳ, καὶ ἐξαπέστειλε τοὺς ἄνδρας.
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.
25Καὶ αὐτὸς εἰσῆλθε, καὶ παρειστήκει πρὸς τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἐλισαιὲ, πόθεν Γιεζί; καὶ εἶπε Γιεζί, Οὐ πεπόρευται ὁ δοῦλός σου ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα.
25But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither.
26Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἐλισαιὲ, οὐχὶ ἡ καρδία μου ἐπορεύθη μετὰ σοῦ ὅτε ἐπέστρεψεν ὁ ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ τοῦ ἅρματος εἰς συναντήν σοι; καὶ νῦν ἔλαβες τὸ ἀργύριον, καὶ νῦν ἔλαβες τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ ἐλαιῶνας καὶ ἀμπελῶνας καὶ πρόβατα καὶ βόας καὶ παῖδας καὶ παιδίσκας.
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.
27Καὶ ἡ λέπρα Ναιμὰν κολληθήσεται ἐν σοὶ καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ προσώπου αὐτοῦ λελεπρωμένος ὡσεὶ χιών.
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.
