¹

Now Naiman, the captain of the host of Syria, was a great man before his master, and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria, and the man was mighty in strength, but a leper.

¹

И$ нее^ма'нъ кня'ѕь си'лныхъ а^сљ=рїи б^њ мђж'ъ ве'лїи преD господи'номъ своиM, и^ ди'веn в ли'цњ. ја%ко е^го ра'ди да'сть г~ь сп~се'нїе сљ=рїи`. и^ сїи мQђ б^њ ве'лїи и^ си'ленъ, н^о ѕњло б^њ прокаже'нъ”

²

And the Syrians went forth in small bands, and took captive out of the land of Israel a little maid: and she waited on Naiman's wife.

²

И$ эT сљ=рїи и^зыйдо'ша во'ини ма'ли. и^ плњни'ша ю'нотъкђ ма'лђ эT зе'мли і^и^л~евы, и^же преD жено'ю нее^ма'новою слђжа`”

³

And she said to her mistress, O that my lord were before the prophet of God in Samaria; then he would recover him from his leprosy.

³

И$ реq госпо'жи свое'и по'лезно б^ы господи'нђ мое^мђ было` а%ще б^ы бы'лъ ё^ прoрка бж~їя и^же въ самарїи. то'й б^о ѓ^чи'ститъ эT прока'зы е^го”

⁴

And she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid from the land of Israel.

⁴

И$ шеDши возвњсти' господи'нђ свое^мђ и^ рече. та'ко, и^ та'ко гл~а ю%нотъка ја%же е^сть эT земля` і^и^л~евы”

⁵

And the king of Syria said to Naiman, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

⁵

Рече же цр~ь сљ=рїискїи къ нее^ма'нђ, прїиди и^ вни'ди, и^ пошлю` кни'гђ къ цр~ю і^и^л~евђ, і^ и^де` и^ взя` в рђ'цњ свои`, і~, тала'нтъ сре'бра. и^ Wѕ~, зла'тник#, и^ і~, ри`зъ и^змnњ кра'снъ”

⁶

And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now then, as soon as this letter shall reach thee, behold, I have sent to thee my servant Naiman, and thou shalt recover him from his leprosy.

⁶

И$ внесе` кни'гђ къ цр~ю і^и^л~евђ гл~я с^е нн~њ ја%ко прїиде кни'га сїя к тебњ` с^е послаX к тебњ нее^ма'на раба` моеh, да ѓ^чи'стиши и& эT прока'зы е^го”

⁷

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he rent his garments, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to recover a man of his leprosy? consider, however, I pray you, and see that this man seeks an occasion against me.

⁷

И$ бы'сть ја^ко прочте` кни'гђ цр~ь і^и^л~евъ разDра ри'зы своа` и^ реq. е^да` азъ боh е^смь ё^мрътви'ти и^ жи'вотвори'ти, ја%ко се'й посла` къ мнњ` да ѓ^чищђ` мђж'а эT прока'зы е^го, н^о про'чїе разђмњ'ите и^ ви'дите ја%ко с^е і^ и'щетъ вины` къ мнњ`”

⁸

And it came to pass, when Elisaie heard that the king of Israel had rent his garments, that he sent to the king of Israel, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy garments? Let Naiman, I pray thee, come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.

⁸

И$ бысть ја%ко ё^слы'ша і^е^лисе'и ја^ко раздра` ры'зы своя цр~ь і^и^л~евъ. и^ посла` къ цр~ю іи^л~евђ гл~я почт^о раздра` ры'зы своя`. да прїидеT къ мнњ нн~њ нее^ма'нъ и^ да разђмњеT ја%ко е^сть прoркъ въ і^и^л~и”

⁹

So Naiman came with horse and chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisaie.

⁹

И$ прїиде нее^ма'нъ на ко'нехъ и^ на колесни'цахъ. и^ ста` при две'рехъ до'мђ і^е^лисе'ева”

¹⁰

And Elisaie sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash seven times in Jordan, and thy flesh shall return to thee, and thou shalt be cleansed.

¹⁰

И$ посла` і^е^лїсе'и посла` к не'мђ гл~я. шеD и^змы'ися седми'цею въ і^ѓ^рда'ни. і^ и^змњни'т# ти ся пло'ть и^ ѓ^чи'стится”

¹¹

And Naiman was angry, and departed, and said, Behold, I said, He will by all means come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of his God, and lay his hand upon the place, and recover the leper.

¹¹

И$ разгнњ'вася нее^ма'нъ эTи^де` и^ реq, с^е ё^бо гл~ахъ ја%ко и^зы'идетъ ко мнњ` и^ ста'нетъ и^ призове'тъ и%менемъ б~а свое^го. и^ возло'житъ рђ'кђ свою` на мњ'сто, и^ ѓ^чи'ститъ прока'зђ”

¹²

Are not Abana and Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not go and wash in them, and be cleansed? and he turned and went away in a rage.

¹²

То нњ'сть л^и ё%нше а^ва'на и^ фарфа'на рњки` дама'сковњ па'че і^ѓ^рда'на, и^ вс^я во'ды і^и^л~евы. т^о не и'мамъ л^и шеD и^змы'тися в ни'хъ, и^ ѓ^чи'щђся и^ ё^клони'ся гнњ'венъ і^ и^де`”

¹³

And his servants came near and said to him, Suppose the prophet had spoken a great thing to thee, wouldest thou not perform it? yet he has but said to thee, Wash, and be cleansed.

¹³

И$ приближи'шася ѓ%троцы е^го и^ рњша е^мђ гл~юще. а%ще б^ы ве'лїе сло'во гл~алъ прoркъ теб^њ не бы л^и сътвори`лъ е^си ја%коже с^и, с'и же рече к тебњ` и^змы'ися и^ ѓ^чи'стишися”

¹⁴

So Naiman went down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the word of Elisaie: and his flesh returned to him as the flesh of a little child, and he was cleansed.

¹⁴

И$ сни'де нее^маn и^ погрђзи'ся въ і^ѓ^рда'нњ сеDмери'цею. по гл~ђ і^е^лисе'я. и^ ѓ^брати'ся пло'ть е^го ја%ко пло'ть ѓ^троча'те мла'да и^ ѓ^цысти'ся”

¹⁵

And he and all his company returned to Elisaie, and he came and stood before him, and said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth, save only in Israel: and now receive a blessing of thy servant.

¹⁵

И$ возврати'ся па'ки къ іе^лисе'ю то'й са'мъ, и^ вс^е ѓ^плъче'нїе е^го. и^ пришеD ста` преD нимъ. и^ рече, а%зъ нн~њ разђмњхъ ја%ко нњ'сть б~а въ все'и земли`. н^ото'кмо въ і^и^л~и. то с^е ё^же` прїими блsвенїе эT раба` свое^го”

¹⁶

And Elisaie said, As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not take one. And he pressed him to take one: but he would not.

¹⁶

И$ рече і^е^лисе'и жи'въ г~ь и^же преDстою` преD ниM. а%ще прїимђ чт^о, и^ нђжда'ше и& взяти и^ не послђша е^го н^и взя`”

¹⁷

And Naiman said, Well then, if not, let there be given to thy servant, I pray thee, the load of a yoke of mules; and thou shalt give me of the red earth: for henceforth thy servant will not offer whole-burnt-offering or sacrifice to other gods, but only to the Lord by reason of this thing.

¹⁷

И$ рече нее^ма'нъ а%ще ли, не хо'щеши взя'ти т^о да'ждъ м^и рабђ` твое^мђ бре'мя сђпрђ'гома м#щима. эT земля се'я чрьме'ныя, ја%ко не сътвори'тъ эTсе'лњ ра'бъ тво'и вс^есожъже'нїя и^ жрътвы богоM и%нњмъ, н^о г~ђ е^ді'номђ”

¹⁸

And let the Lord be propitious to thy servant when my master goes into the house of Remman to worship there, and he shall lean on my hand, and I shall bow down in the house of Remman when he bows down in the house of Remman; even let the Lord, I pray, be merciful to thy servant in this matter.

¹⁸

Э$ гл~ђ же сеM и^ словеси` се'мъ да эTпђститъ г~ь рабђ` твое^мђ, внегда` вни'детъ господи'нъ мо'и в до'мъ рем#ма'новъ на поклоне'нїе е^мђ, и^ та'мо почїе^тъ в рђ'кђ мое'ю, и^ поклоню'ся в до'мђ рем#ма'ни, е^гда` кланя'тися е^мђ в до'мђ рем#ма'ни. и^ да ѓ^чи'ститъ ё^бо г~ь раба` твое^го ѓ^ словеси` се'мъ”

¹⁹

And Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.

¹⁹

И$ рече і^е^лисе'и къ нее^ма'нђ. и^ди` с ми'роM и^ эTи^де` эT не'го въ хавра'ньскђ зе'млю”

²⁰

And Giezi the servant of Elisaie said, Behold, my Lord has spared this Syrian Naiman, so as not to take of his hand what he has brought: as the Lord lives, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat of him.

²⁰

И$ реq гиѓ^зїи ѓ^тро'чищъ і^е^лисеѓ'въ. се господи'нъ мо'и. эTра'ди нее^ма'нђ сљ=ряни'нђ семђ`. не взя'ти эT рђки` е^го и^же принесе`. жи'въ г~ь ја%ко и%мамъ тещи` въ слDњ е^го и^ возмђ` эT не'го нњ'что”

²¹

So Giezi followed after Naiman: and Naiman saw him running after him, and turned back from his chariot to meet him.

²¹

И$ тече` гиѓ^зїи въ слDњ нее^ма'новъ” и^ ви'дњ е^го нее^ма'нъ текђща въ слDњ е^го. и^ възврати'ся съ колесни'ца на срњте'нїе е^мђ. и^ рече гиѓ^зїи ми'ръ т^и, сїи

²²

And Giezi said, All is well: my master has sent me, saying, Behold, now are there come to me two young men of the sons of the prophets from mount Ephraim; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.

²²

же рече ми'ръ” Господи'нъ мо'и посла` м^я гл~я. с^е нн~њ прїидо'ста ко мнњ` дв^а ѓ^тро'чища эT го'ры е^фре'мля эT сн~овъ пророчъ, да'ждъ ё^бо рече е^ю` ради тала'нтъ сре'бра, и^ дв^њ и^змњ'нњ ри'зъ”

²³

And Naiman said, Take two talents of silver. And he took two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and put them upon two of his servants, and they bore them before him.

²³

И$ рече нее^маn возми` нн~њ дв^а тала'нта сре'бра. и^ взя` дв^а тала'нта во два` мњшца и^ дв^њ и^змњ'нњ ри'зъ. и^ възложи на' два ѓ^тро'чища своя`. і^ и^до'ша преD ниM

²⁴

And he came to a secret place, and took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and dismissed the men.

²⁴

и^ прїидо'ша в сђмра'ки, и^ взя'тъ эT рђкђ ею` и^ сокры` въ хра'мњ, и^ эTпђсти мђжа”

²⁵

And he went in himself and stood before his master; and Elisaie said to him,

²⁵

И$ са'мъ вшеD преDста` господи'нђ свое^мђ, и^ рече к немђ і^е^лисе'и эTкђдђ прїиде гиѓ^зїи. и^ реq гиѓ^зїи не и^сходи'лъ ра'бъ тво'и ника'може”

²⁶

Whence comest thou, Giezi? and Giezi said, Thy servant has not been hither or thither. And Elisaie said to him, Went not my heart with thee, when the man returned from his chariot to meet thee? and now thou hast received silver, and now thou hast received raiment, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.

²⁶

И$ реq к не'мђ і^е^лисе'и нњ'сть л^и ходи'ло срDце мое` с тобо'ю, и^ ви'дњ ја%ко возвраща'лъся мђжъ с колесни'ца е^го въ срњтенїе тебњ`. и^ нн~њ прїяl е^си сре'бро и^ ри'зы взялъ е^си себњ`. да кђ'пиши за ни'хъ верто'грады, и^ масли'ны и^ виногра'ды, и^ ѓ'вца и^ волы`. и^ ѓ'трокы и^ ѓ^трокови'ца”

²⁷

The leprosy also of Naiman shall cleave to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, like snow.

²⁷

И$ прока'за нее^ма'нова да прильнетъ на тебњ`, и^ на сњмени твоеM во вњки. і^ и^зы'де эT лица` е^го прокаженъ ја%ко снњ'гъ”
