由第一节开始。
5:1 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the LORD had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.
(5:1) 亚兰王的元帅乃缦，在他主人面前为尊为大，因耶和华曾藉他使亚兰人得胜。他又是大能的勇士，只是长了大痲疯。
2 Now bands from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman's wife.
(2) 先前亚兰人成群的出去，从以色列国掳了一个小女子，这女子就服事乃缦的妻。
3 She said to her mistress, "If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy."
(3) 他对主母说，巴不得我主人去见撒玛利亚的先知，必能治好他的大痲疯。
4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said.
(4) 乃缦进去，告诉他主人说，以色列国的女子如此如此说。
5 "By all means, go," the king of Aram replied. "I will send a letter to the king of Israel." So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold and ten sets of clothing.
(5) 亚兰王说，你可以去，我也达信与以色列王。于是乃缦带银子十他连得，金子六千舍客勒，衣裳十套，就去了。
6 The letter that he took to the king of Israel read: "With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy."
(6) 且带信给以色列王，信上说，我打发臣仆乃缦去见你，你接到这信，就要治好他的大痲疯。
7 As soon as the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his robes and said, "Am I God? Can I kill and bring back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me!"
(7) 以色列王看了信，就撕裂衣服，说，我岂是神，能使人死，使人活呢？这人竟打发人来，叫我治好他的大痲疯。你们看一看，这人何以寻隙攻击我呢？
8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: "Why have you torn your robes? Have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel."
(8) 神人以利沙听见以色列王撕裂衣服，就打发人去见王，说，你为什么撕了衣服呢？可使那人到我这里来，他就知道以色列中有先知了。
9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha's house.
(9) 于是乃缦带着车马到了以利沙的家，站在门前。
10 Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, "Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed."
(10) 以利沙打发一个使者，对乃缦说，你去在约但河中沐浴七回，你的肉就必复原，而得洁净。
11 But Naaman went away angry and said, "I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy.
(11) 乃缦却发怒走了，说，我想他必定出来见我，站着求告耶和华他神的名，在患处以上摇手，治好这大痲疯。
12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than any of the waters of Israel? Couldn't I wash in them and be cleansed?" So he turned and went off in a rage.
(12) 大马色的河，亚罢拿和法珥法，岂不比以色列的一切水更好么？我在那里沐浴不得洁净么？于是气忿忿的转身去了。
13 Naaman's servants went to him and said, "My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, 'Wash and be cleansed'!"
(13) 他的仆人进前来，对他说，我父阿，先知若吩咐你作一件大事，你岂不作么？何况说你去沐浴，而得洁净呢？
14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy
(14) 于是乃缦下去，照着神人的话，在约但河里沐浴七回。他的肉复原，好像小孩子的肉，他就洁净了。
15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before him and said, "Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. Please accept now a gift from your servant."
(2 Kings 5:1 15 NIV)
(15) 乃缦带着一切跟随他的人，回到神人那里，站在他面前说，如今我知道，除了以色列之外，普天下没有神。现在求你收点仆人的礼物。(列王纪下5章1至15节)
