1 Naamán, el comandante del ejército del rey de Harán, era considerado un gran hombre por su amo y muy respetado, pues a través de él el Señor había hecho victoriosos a los arameos. Era un poderoso guerrero, pero tenía lepra.
1 Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Syria; he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.
2 Unos arameos habían hecho una incursión y habían capturado a una joven de la tierra de Israel. La habían hecho sierva de la esposa de Naamán.
2 The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little girl, and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
3 Ella le dijo a su ama: “Si mi amo fuera a ver al profeta que vive en Samaria. Estoy segura de que él podría curarlo de su lepra”.
3 She said to her mistress, “I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy.”
4 Entonces Naamán fue a ver a su amo y le explicó lo que había dicho la joven israelita.
4 Someone went in and told his lord, saying, “The girl who is from the land of Israel said this.”
5 “Puedes ir”, dijo el rey de Harán, “y enviaré una carta contigo al rey de Israel”. Así que Naamán partió. Llevó consigo diez talentos de plata, seis mil siclos de oro y diez conjuntos de ropa.
5 The king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
6 La carta que llevó al rey de Israel decía: “Esta carta acompaña a mi siervo Naamán, enviada a ti para que lo cures de su lepra”.
6 He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “Now when this letter has come to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.”
7 Cuando el rey de Israel leyó la carta, se rasgó las vestiduras presa del pánico y dijo: “¿Acaso este hombre se cree Dios, que tiene poder sobre la vida y la muerte, y me envía a curar a un leproso? Evidentemente, sólo está tratando de inventar una excusa para atacarme, como cualquiera puede ver”.
7 When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel against me.”
8 Pero cuando Eliseo, el hombre de Dios, se enteró de que el rey de Israel se había rasgado las vestiduras presa del pánico, envió un mensaje al rey, diciendo “¿Por qué te has rasgado las vestiduras? Por favor, envíame a ese hombre, para que se convenza de que hay un profeta en Israel”.
8 It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
9 Así que Naamán llegó con sus caballos y carros y se quedó esperando a la puerta de la casa de Eliseo.
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
10 Eliseo le envió un mensajero diciendo: “Ve y lávate siete veces en el Jordán. Entonces tu cuerpo se curará y quedarás limpio”.
10 Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean.”
11 Pero Naamán se enfadó y se marchó, diciendo: “Esperaba que al menos saliera, se quedara allí e invocara el nombre del Señor, su Dios, y agitara su mano sobre donde está mi lepra y la sanara.
11 But Naaman was angry, and went away and said, “Behold, I thought, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leper.’
12 ¿No son los ríos de Damasco, de Abana y de Farfar mejores que cualquiera de estos arroyos de Israel? ¿No podría haberme lavado en ellos y haberme curado?” Así que se dio la vuelta y se marchó furioso.
12 Aren’t Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.
13 Pero los funcionarios de Naamán se acercaron a él y le dijeron: “Señor, si el profeta te hubiera dicho que tenías que hacer algo extraordinario, ¿no lo habrías hecho? ¿Cuánto más fácil es hacer lo que él dice: ‘Lávate y quedarás curado’?”
13 His servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had asked you do some great thing, wouldn’t you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”
14 Así que Naamán bajó y se sumergió siete veces en el Jordán, como le había dicho el hombre de Dios. Su cuerpo quedó curado, su piel se volvió como la de un bebé, y quedó limpio.
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 was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
15 Entonces Naamán y todo su séquito volvieron al hombre de Dios, se presentaron ante él y Naamán anunció: “Ahora estoy convencido de que no hay Dios en todo el mundo, excepto en Israel. Por favor, acepta un regalo de mí, tu siervo”.
15 He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, “See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.”
16 Pero Eliseo respondió: “Vive el Señor, al que sirvo, que no aceptaré nada”. Aunque Naamán trató de persuadirlo para que aceptara el regalo, éste se negó.
16 But he said, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.” He urged him to take it; but he refused.
17 Entonces Naamán dijo: “Si no lo haces, por favor, permíteme a mi, tu siervo, llevarme dos cargas de tierra, porque nunca más traeré un holocausto ni haré un sacrificio a ningún otro dios que no sea el Señor.
17 Naaman said, “If not, then, please let two mules’ load of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Yahweh.
18 Además, que el Señor me perdone por hacer esto: Cuando mi amo entre en el templo de Rimón para adorar allí, y yo lo asista, y me incline en el templo de Rimón, que el Señor me perdone por hacerlo”.
18 In this thing may Yahweh pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon. When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may Yahweh pardon your servant in this thing.”
19 “Ve en paz”, dijo Eliseo, y Naamán se fue. Pero sólo había recorrido un corto trecho
19 He said to him, “Go in peace.” So he departed from him a little way.
20 cuando Giezi, el siervo de Eliseo, el hombre de Dios, pensó para sí: “¡Mira cómo mi amo ha dejado ir a Naamán el sirio sin aceptar los regalos que trajo! Vive el Señor, que correré tras él y le sacaré algo”.
20 But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”
21 Así que Giezi persiguió a Naamán. Cuando Naamán lo vio correr tras él, bajó del carro para salir a su encuentro y le preguntó: “¿Está todo bien?”
21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, “Is all well?”
22 “Todo está bien”, respondió Giezi. “Mi amo me envió a decirte: ‘Acabo de enterarme de que han llegado a verme dos jóvenes de los hijos de los profetas que viven la región montañosa de Efraín. Por favor, dales un talento de plata y dos conjuntos de ropa’”.
22 He said, “All is well. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.’”
23 Pero Naamán respondió: “Por favor, toma dos talentos”. Insistió en que Giezi los aceptara. Entonces ató dos talentos de plata en dos bolsas, así como dos juegos de ropa. Se los dio a dos de sus siervos, que los llevaron para Giezi.
23 Naaman said, “Be pleased to take two talents.” He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried them before him.
24 Cuando Giezi llegó a la fortaleza de la colina, tomó los regalos de los sirvientes y los puso en la casa. Les dijo a los hombres que podían irse, y se fueron.
24 When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed.
25 Cuando Giezi regresó y atendió a su amo, Eliseo le preguntó: “¿Dónde has estado, Giezi?” “Tu siervo no ha estado en ninguna parte”, respondió.
25 But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, “Where did you come from, Gehazi?” He said, “Your servant went nowhere.”
26 Pero Eliseo le dijo: “¿No te vi en mi mente cuando el hombre bajó de su carro para recibirte? ¿Es éste el momento de tomar dinero, ropa, olivares, viñedos, ovejas, bueyes, siervos y siervas?
26 He said to him, “Didn’t my heart go with you when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants?
27 “¡Ahora por causa de esto, la lepra de Naamán se te pegará a ti y a tus descendientes para siempre!” Y cuando Giezise marchó, tenía la lepra: se veía blanco como la nieve.
27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your offspring forever.” He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
For, following the Septuagint version, these are the prophet's words: "Did not my heart go with thee, when the man came out of his chariot to meet thee, and thou tookedst his gifts?" Or, as the presbyter Jerome rendered it from the Hebrew, "Was not my heart present when the man turned from his chariot to meet thee?" The prophet …
