5–BOB
Elishay Noʻmonga shifo beradi
1 Oram shohining Noʻmon degan lashkarboshisi bor edi. Xoʻjayini uni juda ulugʻlar va hurmat qilar edi, chunki Egamiz Noʻmon orqali Oramga gʻalaba ato qilardi. Noʻmon juda dovyurak jangchi edi–yu, lekin teri kasalligiga chalingan edi.
2 Oram lashkari Isroil yurtiga bostirib borganda, kichkina qizchani asir qilib olib kelgan edi. Qizcha Noʻmonning xotiniga choʻrilik qilardi. 3 Qizcha bir kuni bekasiga aytib qoldi:
— Agar toʻram Samariyadagi paygʻambar huzuriga borganlarida edi, oʻsha paygʻambar toʻramga shifo bergan boʻlardi.
4 Shunday qilib, Noʻmon oʻz hukmdori huzuriga bordi. Shohga Isroil yurtidan keltirilgan qizchaning aytganlarini gapirib berdi. 5 Oram shohi Noʻmonga:
— Yoʻlga otlanaver, men Isroil shohiga maktub yozib beraman, — dedi. Noʻmon yigirma bir pud kumush, toʻrt pud oltin, oʻn sidra qimmatbaho kiyim–bosh olib, yoʻlga chiqdi. 6 Noʻmon maktubni Isroil shohiga keltirib berdi. Maktub shu mazmunda bitilgan edi: “Ushbu maktub yetib borganda, bilingizki, xizmatkorim Noʻmonni sizning huzuringizga yuborgan boʻlaman, uni teri kasalligidan siz forigʻ qilishingiz mumkin.”
7 Isroil shohi maktubni oʻqib, vahimaga tushib, kiyimlarini yirtdi:
— Oram shohi meni hayot baxsh etadigan va jon oladigan Xudo deb oʻylayaptimi?! Shifo berishim uchun u mening huzurimga odamini joʻnatibdi–ya! Mana, bilib qoʻyinglar, Oram shohi men bilan urush chiqarish uchun bahona izlayapti.
8 Isroil shohi vahimaga tushib liboslarini yirtganini Elishay paygʻambar eshitgach, shohga xabarchi orqali shu gapni yetkazdi: “Nega vahimaga tushib liboslaringizni yirtdingiz? Oʻsha odam mening oldimga kelsin, Isroilda paygʻambar borligini bilib qoʻysin.”
9 Noʻmon otlariyu jang aravalarini Elishayning uyi eshigi oldiga olib kelib toʻxtadi. 10 Elishay Noʻmonning oldiga xizmatkorini chiqarib, u orqali Noʻmonga shu gapni yetkazdi: “Bor, Iordan daryosida yetti marta yuvin, shunda tanang yangilanib, pok boʻladi.” 11 Noʻmon esa dargʻazab boʻldi: “Men oʻylagan edimki, paygʻambar albatta mening oldimga chiqadi, oʻzining Egasi Xudoni chaqirib iltijo qiladi. Qoʻllari bilan kasal joyimni silab, meni bu kasallikdan forigʻ qiladi. 12 Damashqdagi Abano va Parfar daryolari Isroilning hamma daryolaridan afzal emasmi?! Men oʻsha daryolarda yuvinib, poklanib olaverardim–ku!”
Noʻmon jahl bilan burilib ketdi.
13 Shunda xizmatkorlari kelib:
— Janobi oliylari, agar paygʻambar sizga qiyin narsani aytganda, qilmasmidingiz? — deb gapirishdi, — u sizga: “Yuvingin, pok boʻlib qolasan”, dedi xolos–ku.
14 Oxiri, Noʻmon paygʻambarning aytganini qilib, Iordan suvida yetti marta shoʻngʻidi. Shunda tanasi xuddi yosh bolaning tanasi kabi yangilanib, pok boʻldi.
15 Noʻmon va uning barcha hamrohlari paygʻambar huzuriga qaytib keldilar. Noʻmon Elishayning huzuriga kelgach, aytdi:
— Butun yer yuzida Isroil xalqining Xudosidan boshqa Xudo yoʻqligini bildim. Marhamat, endi men, qulingizning hadyalarini qabul qiling.
16 Men xizmat qilayotgan Xudo shohid! Hadyangni olmayman! — dedi Elishay.
Noʻmon Elishayni qancha majbur qilsa ham, Elishay rad etdi. 17 Shunda Noʻmon aytdi:
— Unday boʻlsa, men, qulingizga ikkita xachir koʻtara oladigan tuproq olib ketishga ijozat bering . Men, qulingiz, bundan buyon Egamizdan boshqa xudolarga har xil qurbonliklaru kuydiriladigan qurbonliklar qilmayman. 18 Egamiz men, qulingizni faqat bitta narsada kechirsin: xoʻjayinim xudo Rimmon uyiga borib sajda qilish uchun qoʻlimga suyanganda, men ham Rimmon uyida u bilan birga taʼzim qilaman. Oʻsha yerda taʼzim qilganimda, shu narsa uchun Egamiz meni kechirsin.
19 — Eson–omon bor, — dedi unga Elishay. Noʻmon Elishay huzuridan chiqib, hali uncha uzoq yoʻl yurmagan ham ediki, 20 Elishay paygʻambarning xizmatkori Gaxazi oʻziga oʻzi aytdi: “Hazratim anavi Oram xalqidan Noʻmon keltirgan hadyalarni qabul qilmasdan, unga ijozat berdi. Xudo haqi! Ortidan yugurib borib, undan biror narsa undiray.” 21 Gaxazi Noʻmonning orqasidan ketdi. Noʻmon ortidan kelayotgan Gaxazini koʻrib, uni qarshi olgani aravadan tushdi.
— Tinchlikmi? — soʻradi Noʻmon.
22 — Tinchlik, — dedi xizmatkor, — xoʻjayinim mendan aytib yubordi, uning huzuriga Efrayim qirlaridagi paygʻambarlar guruhidan ikkitasi kelibdi, ularga ikki pud kumush va ikki sidra kiyim–bosh berarkansiz.
23 — Balki toʻrt pud olarsan, — dedi Noʻmon va Gaxazini toʻrt pud olishga koʻndirdi. Noʻmon ikkita qopdagi toʻrt pud kumushni va ikki sidra kiyim–boshni bogʻlab, oʻzining ikkita xizmatkoriga berdi. Xizmatkorlar bu narsalarni koʻtarib, Gaxazining oldiga tushib joʻnadilar.
24 Tepalikka kelganlarida, Gaxazi narsalarni xizmatkorlarning qoʻlidan oldi va uyiga olib borib yashirdi. Soʻngra Noʻmonning ikkala xizmatkoriga ijozat berdi. 25 Gaxazi qaytib kelgach, xoʻjayinining huzuriga kirdi.
— Qayerda eding, Gaxazi? — soʻradi Elishay undan.
— Men, qulingiz, hech qayerga bormadim, — javob berdi u.
26 Elishay esa Gaxaziga:
— Oʻsha odam aravasidan tushib senga peshvoz chiqqanda, mening ruhim sen bilan birga emasmidi?! — dedi. — Hozir kumushu liboslar yoki zaytunzorlaru uzumzorlar, qoʻyu sigirlar, qulu choʻrilar oladigan paytmi?! 27 Shu qilganing uchun Noʻmonning teri kasalligi senga va sening naslingga abadiy yopishib qolsin.
Oʻsha zahoti Gaxaziga yara toshib, terisi qorday oppoq boʻlib qoldi. U Elishayning huzuridan chiqib ketdi.
1 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper. 2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. 3 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy. 4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. 5 And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment. 6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. 7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
8 ¶ And it was so , when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, 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 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it ? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? 14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
15 ¶ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant. 16 But he said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused. 17 And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules’ burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD. 18 In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing. 19 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.
20 ¶ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him. 21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well? 22 And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments. 23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him. 24 And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed. 25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou , Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither. 26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee , when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants? 27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
