9 Naamane a ea ho Elisha ka lipere le ka likariki tsa hae tsa ntoa ’me a fihla a ema pel’a monyako oa ntlo ea hae.
10 Elisha a roma moromuoa hore a re ho Naamane: “Tsamaea u e’o hlapa ka makhetlo a supileng+ Jordane+ ’me u tla fola u be u hloeke.”
11 Naamane a halefa, a tsamaea a ntse a re: “Ke ne ke nahanne hore o tla tla ho ’na, a rapele Jehova Molimo oa hae a ntse a isa letsoho koana le koana moo ke nang le lepera e le hore a le folise.
12 Na metsi a linoka tsa Damaseka+ e leng Abana le Parpare ha a molemo ho feta metsi ’ohle a Iseraele? Na nke ke ka hloeka ha nka hlapela ho tsona?” A tsamaea a halefile.

15 Ka mor’a moo, Naamane a tsamaea le masole ’ohle a hae a ea ho mohlanka oa Molimo oa ’nete+ a fihla a re: “Kannete kea tseba hore ha ho na Molimo kae kapa kae ntle le Iseraele.+ Ke kopa u amohele mpho* ena e tsoang ho ’na mohlanka oa hao.”
16 Elisha a re: “Ke hlapanya ka Jehova Molimo ea phelang eo ke mo sebeletsang* hore nke ke ka e amohela.”+ Naamane a mo phehella empa Elisha a ’na a hana.
17 Naamane a re: “Haeba u sa nke mpho ea ka, ke kopa ho fuoa mobu oa Iseraele o ka jaroang ke limmoulo tse peli hobane ha ke sa tla hlola ke etsetsa melimo leha e le efe nyehelo ea secheso kapa mahlabelo ntle le Jehova.
18 E se eka Jehova a ka ntšoarela hobane ha morena oa Siria a ea tempeleng* ho ea khumamela* Rimone, o itšoarelletsa ka ’na ebe le ’na kea khumama. E se eka Jehova a ka ntšoarela ha ke khumama tempeleng ea Rimone.”
19 Elisha a re ho eena: “Tsamaea ka khotso.” Naamane a tloha ho eena ’me ha a se a tsamaile sebaka se itseng,
20 Gehazi+ mohlanka oa Elisha mohlanka oa Molimo oa ’nete+ a bua a le mong a re: ‘Moren’a ka o tlohetse Naamane oa Mosiria+ hore a tsamaee ’me ha a amohela mpho eo a neng a mo tliselitse eona. Ke hlapanya ka Jehova Molimo ea phelang hore ke tla matha ka mor’a hae ’me ke nke lintho tse ling ho eena.’
21 Gehazi a lelekisa Naamane. Ha Naamane a bona hore ho na le motho ea tlang ka mor’a hae, a theoha kariki ea hae ’me a re ho eena: “Ke’ng, ho etsahala’ng?”
22 Gehazi a re: “Ha ho na letho. Mong’a ka o re ho na le bara ba baprofeta ba babeli ba qetang ho fihla ba tsoang lithabeng tsa Efraime. O kopa hore u ba fe silevera ea boima bo ka etsang lik’hilokramo tse 34* le liaparo tse peli.”+
23 Naamane a re: “Ho lokile. Nka silevera ea boima bo ka etsang lik’hilokramo tse ka bang 68.”* A phehella Gehazi hore a e nke+ eaba o mo kenyetsa silevera le liaparo tse peli ka mekotleng e ’meli, a li fa bahlanka ba hae ba babeli hore ba mo jarele tsona.
24 Ha a fihla Ofele,* a li nka ho bona ’me a li beha ka tlung eaba o re bahlanka bao ba tsamaee. Ha ba qeta ho tsamaea,
25 a khutlela ho mong’a hae. Elisha a re ho eena: “Gehazi u tsoa hokae?” Gehazi a re: “Ha ho na moo ke tsoang teng.”+
26 Elisha a re ho eena: “U nahana ha ke tsebe hore u ile oa sala monna eo morao ’me a theoha kariki ea hae ho ea kopana le uena? Na ke nako ea ho amohela silevera, liaparo, lifate tsa mehloaare, lirapa tsa morara, linku, likhomo le basebeletsi ba banna kapa ba basali?+
