Melachim II 4:42-5:19
ד:מב וְאִישׁ בָּא מִבַּעַל שָׁלִשָׁה, וַיָּבֵא לְאִישׁ הָא-לקים לֶחֶם בִּכּוּרִים עֶשְׂרִים-לֶחֶם שְׂעֹרִים, וְכַרְמֶל, בְּצִקְלֹנוֹ; וַיֹּאמֶר, תֵּן לָעָם וְיֹאכֵלוּ.	4:42 And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said: 'Give unto the people, that they may eat.'
מג וַיֹּאמֶר, מְשָׁרְתוֹ, מָה אֶתֵּן זֶה, לִפְנֵי מֵאָה אִישׁ; וַיֹּאמֶר, תֵּן לָעָם וְיֹאכֵלוּ--כִּי כֹה אָמַר יקוק, אָכֹל וְהוֹתֵר.	43 And his servant said: 'How should I set this before a hundred men?' But he said: 'Give the people, that they may eat; for thus saith the LORD: They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.'
מד וַיִּתֵּן לִפְנֵיהֶם וַיֹּאכְלוּ וַיּוֹתִרוּ, כִּדְבַר יקוק.	44 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.
ה:א וְנַעֲמָן שַׂר-צְבָא מֶלֶךְ-אֲרָם הָיָה אִישׁ גָּדוֹל לִפְנֵי א-דניו, וּנְשֻׂא פָנִים--כִּי-בוֹ נָתַן-יקוק תְּשׁוּעָה, לַאֲרָם; וְהָאִישׁ, הָיָה גִּבּוֹר חַיִל--מְצֹרָע.	5:1 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and held in esteem, because by him the LORD had given victory unto Aram; he was also a mighty man of valour, but he was a leper.
ב וַאֲרָם יָצְאוּ גְדוּדִים, וַיִּשְׁבּוּ מֵאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל נַעֲרָה קְטַנָּה; וַתְּהִי, לִפְנֵי אֵשֶׁת נַעֲמָן.	2 And the Arameans had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.
ג וַתֹּאמֶר, אֶל-גְּבִרְתָּהּ, אַחֲלֵי אֲדֹנִי, לִפְנֵי הַנָּבִיא אֲשֶׁר בְּשֹׁמְרוֹן; אָז יֶאֱסֹף אֹתוֹ, מִצָּרַעְתּוֹ.	3 And she said unto her mistress: 'Would that my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he recover him of his leprosy.'
ד וַיָּבֹא, וַיַּגֵּד לַא-דניו לֵאמֹר: כָּזֹאת וְכָזֹאת דִּבְּרָה הַנַּעֲרָה, אֲשֶׁר מֵאֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל.	4 And he went in, and told his lord, saying: 'Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.'
ה וַיֹּאמֶר מֶלֶךְ-אֲרָם לֶךְ-בֹּא, וְאֶשְׁלְחָה סֵפֶר אֶל-מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל; וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיִּקַּח בְּיָדוֹ עֶשֶׂר כִּכְּרֵי-כֶסֶף, וְשֵׁשֶׁת אֲלָפִים זָהָב, וְעֶשֶׂר, חֲלִיפוֹת בְּגָדִים.	5 And the king of Aram said: 'Go now, 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.
ו וַיָּבֵא הַסֵּפֶר, אֶל-מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר: וְעַתָּה, כְּבוֹא הַסֵּפֶר הַזֶּה אֵלֶיךָ, הִנֵּה שָׁלַחְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ אֶת-נַעֲמָן עַבְדִּי, וַאֲסַפְתּוֹ מִצָּרַעְתּוֹ.	6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying: 'And now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.'
ז וַיְהִי כִּקְרֹא מֶלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-הַסֵּפֶר וַיִּקְרַע בְּגָדָיו, וַיֹּאמֶר הַא-לקים אָנִי לְהָמִית וּלְהַחֲיוֹת, כִּי-זֶה שֹׁלֵחַ אֵלַי, לֶאֱסֹף אִישׁ מִצָּרַעְתּוֹ: כִּי אַךְ-דְּעוּ-נָא וּרְאוּ, כִּי-מִתְאַנֶּה הוּא לִי.	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? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh an occasion against me.'
ח וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ אֱלִישָׁע אִישׁ-הָא-לקים, כִּי-קָרַע מֶלֶךְ-יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-בְּגָדָיו, וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ לֵאמֹר, לָמָּה קָרַעְתָּ בְּגָדֶיךָ; יָבֹא-נָא אֵלַי--וְיֵדַע, כִּי יֵשׁ נָבִיא בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל.	8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God 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.'
ט וַיָּבֹא נַעֲמָן, בְּסוּסָו וּבְרִכְבּוֹ; וַיַּעֲמֹד פֶּתַח-הַבַּיִת, לֶאֱלִישָׁע.	9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
י וַיִּשְׁלַח אֵלָיו אֱלִישָׁע, מַלְאָךְ לֵאמֹר: הָלוֹךְ, וְרָחַצְתָּ שֶׁבַע-פְּעָמִים בַּיַּרְדֵּן, וְיָשֹׁב בְּשָׂרְךָ לְךָ, וּטְהָר.	10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying: 'Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come back to thee, and thou shalt be clean.'
יא וַיִּקְצֹף נַעֲמָן, וַיֵּלַךְ; וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה אָמַרְתִּי אֵלַי יֵצֵא יָצוֹא, וְעָמַד וְקָרָא בְּשֵׁם-יקוק א-לקיו, וְהֵנִיף יָדוֹ אֶל-הַמָּקוֹם, וְאָסַף הַמְּצֹרָע.	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 wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
יב הֲלֹא טוֹב אבנה (אֲמָנָה) וּפַרְפַּר נַהֲרוֹת דַּמֶּשֶׂק, מִכֹּל מֵימֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל--הֲלֹא-אֶרְחַץ בָּהֶם, וְטָהָרְתִּי; וַיִּפֶן, וַיֵּלֶךְ בְּחֵמָה.	12 Are not Amanah and Pharpar, the 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.
יג וַיִּגְּשׁוּ עֲבָדָיו, וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֵלָיו, וַיֹּאמְרוּ אָבִי דָּבָר גָּדוֹל הַנָּבִיא דִּבֶּר אֵלֶיךָ, הֲלוֹא תַעֲשֶׂה; וְאַף כִּי-אָמַר אֵלֶיךָ, רְחַץ וּטְהָר.	13 And his servants came near, and spoke 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?'
יד וַיֵּרֶד, וַיִּטְבֹּל בַּיַּרְדֵּן שֶׁבַע פְּעָמִים, כִּדְבַר, אִישׁ הָא-לקים; וַיָּשָׁב בְּשָׂרוֹ, כִּבְשַׂר נַעַר קָטֹן--וַיִּטְהָר.	14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came back like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
טו וַיָּשָׁב אֶל-אִישׁ הָא-לקים הוּא וְכָל-מַחֲנֵהוּ, וַיָּבֹא וַיַּעֲמֹד לְפָנָיו, וַיֹּאמֶר הִנֵּה-נָא יָדַעְתִּי כִּי אֵין א-לקים בְּכָל-הָאָרֶץ, כִּי אִם-בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל; וְעַתָּה קַח-נָא בְרָכָה, מֵאֵת עַבְדֶּךָ.	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 present of thy servant.'
טז וַיֹּאמֶר, חַי-יקוק אֲשֶׁר-עָמַדְתִּי לְפָנָיו אִם-אֶקָּח; וַיִּפְצַר-בּוֹ לָקַחַת, וַיְמָאֵן.	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.
יז וַיֹּאמֶר, נַעֲמָן, וָלֹא, יֻתַּן-נָא לְעַבְדְּךָ מַשָּׂא צֶמֶד-פְּרָדִים אֲדָמָה: כִּי לוֹא-יַעֲשֶׂה עוֹד עַבְדְּךָ עֹלָה וָזֶבַח, לֵאלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים--כִּי, אִם-לַיהוָה.	17 And Naaman said: 'If not, yet I pray thee let there 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.
יח לַדָּבָר הַזֶּה, יִסְלַח יקוק לְעַבְדֶּךָ--בְּבוֹא אֲדֹנִי בֵית-רִמּוֹן לְהִשְׁתַּחֲות שָׁמָּה וְהוּא נִשְׁעָן עַל-יָדִי, וְהִשְׁתַּחֲוֵיתִי בֵּית רִמֹּן, בְּהִשְׁתַּחֲוָיָתִי בֵּית רִמֹּן, יִסְלַח-נא ( ) יקוק לְעַבְדְּךָ בַּדָּבָר הַזֶּה.	18 In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant: when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I prostrate myself in the house of Rimmon, when I prostrate myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.'
יט וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ, לֵךְ לְשָׁלוֹם; וַיֵּלֶךְ מֵאִתּוֹ, כִּבְרַת-אָרֶץ.	19 And he said unto him: 'Go in peace.' So he departed from him some way.
