5 ¹Naaman a na ɔyɛ Aram hene asraafo sahene no yɛ ɔbarima kɛse, na ne wura bu no yiye, efisɛ ɛnam ne so na yɛn Agya maa Aram dii nkonim. Na ɔyɛ ɔkofo a ne bo yɛ duru, nanso na ɔwɔ honam ani yare. ²Aramfo kɔtow hyɛɛ Israel so, na wɔkyeree abeawa ketewa bi fii hɔ de no kɔe, na ɔsomm Naaman yere. ³Abeawa no ka kyerɛɛ ne wura baa se, “Sɛ me wura bɛkɔ odiyifo a ɔwɔ Samaria no nkyɛn a, anka ɛbɛyɛ yiye! Anka ɔbɛsa ne kwata yare ama no.”

⁴Enti Naaman kɔɔ mu kɔka kyerɛɛ ne wura se, “Sɛnea abeawa a ofi Israel asase so no kae ni.”

⁵“Kɔ,” Aram hene kae. “Mede krataa bɛkɔma Israel hene.” Enti Naaman de dwetɛ bɛyɛ pɔn 750, sika kɔkɔɔ bɛyɛ pɔn 150 ne ntade nsesa du kɔe.

⁶Ɔde krataa no brɛɛ Israel hene. Nea na ɛwɔ mu ni: “Mede me somfo Naaman ne krataa yi rebrɛ wo, sɛnea wobɛsa ne honam ani yare ama no.”

⁷Bere a Israel hene kenkan krataa no no, ɔtetee ne ntade mu kae se, “Mene Onyankopɔn a mitumi kum na mitumi ma nkwa, na ɔsrɛ me sɛ minsa obi honam ani yare? Hwɛ, ɔrepɛ me so asɛm!”

⁸Bere a yɛn Agya nipa Elisa tee sɛ Israel hene atetew ne ntade mu no, ɔsomaa kɔɔ ɔhene no nkyɛn se, “Adɛn nti na woatetew wo ntade mu? Soma no mmra me nkyɛn, na obehu sɛ odiyifo wɔ Israel.”

⁹Enti Naaman de ne apɔnkɔ ne ne nteaseɛnam baa, na ogyinaa Elisa fi ɛpono ano. ¹⁰Elisa somaa ɔbɔfo kɔɔ ne nkyɛn se, “Kɔ na kɔguare Yordan mu mpɛn ason; wo honam bɛsan aba sɛ kan, na wo ho bɛte.”

¹¹Nanso Naaman bo fuwii, na ɔkɔe kae se, “Na misusuw sɛ ɔbɛpue aba me nkyɛn, abɛgyina, abɔ Awurade ne Nyankopɔn din, ahim ne nsa wɔ beae no so, na wasa yare no. ¹²Abana ne Farpar, Damasko nsubɔnten no, nyɛ papa nsen Israel nsu nyinaa? Mentumi nnguare wɔn mu na me ho nte anaa?” Enti ɔdan ne ho, de abufuw kɛse kɔe.

¹³Nanso ne nkoa bɛn no kae se, “Me agya, sɛ odiyifo no ka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ yɛ ade kɛse bi a, anka worenyɛ? Na ɛnde ɛnte sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ woyɛ bere a ɔka kyerɛ wo kɛkɛ se, ‘Guare, na wo ho nte’ no?”

¹⁴Ɔsiane kɔɔ Yordan mu kɔbɔɔ ne mu mpɛn ason, sɛnea yɛn Agya nipa no kae no, na ne honam san yɛɛ sɛ abofra ketewa honam, na ne ho tee.

¹⁵Naaman ne nʼakyidifo nyinaa san kɔɔ yɛn Agya nipa no nkyɛn. Ɔbaa bɛgyinaa nʼanim kae se, “Afei mahu sɛ Onyankopɔn biara nni asase nyinaa so, gye Israel nko ara. Mesrɛ wo, gye akyɛde bi fi wo somfo nkyɛn.”

¹⁶Elisa buaa no se, “Nokware sɛ yɛn Agya a migyina nʼanim no te ase yi, merennye biribiara.” Naaman hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnnye, nanso wannye.

¹⁷Sɛ ɛnte saa a,” Naaman kae se, “ma wɔmfa dɔte a mfurumpɔnkɔ mmienu betumi asoa mma wo somfo, efisɛ wo somfo remmɔ ɔhyew afɔre anaa afɔrebɔ biara mma onyame foforo biara bio, gye Awurade nko ara. ¹⁸Nanso Awurade mfa saa ade baako yi mfiri wo somfo: sɛ me wura kɔ Rimon abosonnan mu kɔsom, na ɔde ne ho twere me basa, na mekotow wɔ Rimon abosonnan mu a, sɛ mekotow wɔ hɔ a—Awurade mfa mfiri wo somfo.”

¹⁹Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Kɔ asomdwoe mu.” Enti Naaman fii ne nkyɛn kɔe, na ɔkɔɔ akyiri kakra.

²⁰Nanso Gehasi a ɔyɛ yɛn Agya nipa Elisa somfo no dwenee se, “Me wura agyaa Aramni Naaman yi mmerɛw dodo, sɛ wannye nea ɔde bae no. Sɛ yɛn Agya te ase yi, mɛtu mmirika adi nʼakyi, na manya biribi afi ne nkyɛn.”

²¹Gehasi tiw Naaman. Bere a Naaman huu no sɛ ɔretu mmirika reba no, ɔsii fii ne teaseɛnam mu bɛhyiaa no, bisaa no se, “Biribiara yɛ anaa?”

²²“Biribiara yɛ,” Gehasi kae. “Me wura asoma me se, ‘Mmerantɛ mmienu a wofi adiyifo kuw no mu afi Efraim mmepɔ so aba me nkyɛn seesei ara. Mesrɛ wo, ma wɔn dwetɛ bɛyɛ pɔn aduɔson anum ne ntade nsesa mmienu.’”

²³Naaman kae se, “Mesrɛ wo, fa bɛyɛ pɔn 150.” Ɔhyɛɛ Gehasi, na ɔkyekyeree dwetɛ bɛyɛ pɔn 150 guu nkotokuo mmienu mu ne ntade nsesa mmienu, de maa nʼasomfo mmienu, na wɔsoaa di Gehasi anim. ²⁴Bere a wɔduu koko no so no, Gehasi gyee nneɛma no fii nkoa no nsa mu, de kɔsiee fie hɔ, na ɔgyaa mmarima no kwan, na wɔkɔe. ²⁵Ɔkɔɔ mu kɔgyinaa ne wura anim. Elisa bisaa no se, “Gehasi, ɛhe na wokɔe?” Gehasi buae se, “Wo somfo ankɔ baabiara.”

²⁶Nanso Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ɛnyɛ me koma na ɛne wo kɔe bere a ɔbarima no fii ne teaseɛnam mu dan bɛhyiaa wo no? Ɛyɛ bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wogye dwetɛ, ntade, ngo nnua mfuw, bobe mfuw, nguan, anantwi, ne nkoa ne mfenaa anaa? ²⁷Naaman kwata bɛfam wo ne wʼasefo daa daa.” Gehasi fii nʼanim, na kwata aka no, ne honam ayɛ fitaa sɛ sukyerɛmma.
