以利沙说,我指着所事奉永生的耶和华起誓,我必不受。乃缦再三地求他,他却不受。
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.
神人以利沙的仆人基哈西心里说,我主人不愿从这亚兰人乃缦手里受他带来的礼物,我指着永生的耶和华起誓,我必跑去追上他,向他要些。
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.
于是基哈西追赶乃缦。乃缦看见有人追赶,就急忙下车迎着他,说,都平安吗。
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?
到了山冈,基哈西从他们手中接过来,放在屋里,打发他们回去。
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.
基哈西进去,站在他主人面前。以利沙问他说,基哈西你从哪里来。回答说,仆人没有往哪里去。
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.
以利沙对他说,那人下车转回迎你的时候,我的心岂没有去呢。这岂是受银子,衣裳,买橄榄园,葡萄园,牛羊,仆婢的时候呢。
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?
因此,乃缦的大麻疯必沾染你和你的后裔,直到永远。基哈西从以利沙面前退出去,就长了大麻疯,像雪那样白。
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.
以色列的长子原是流便。因他污秽了父亲的床,他长子的名分就归了约瑟。只是按家谱他不算长子。
Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.
犹大胜过一切弟兄,君王也是从他而出。长子的名分却归约瑟。
For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)
约珥的儿子是示玛雅。示玛雅的儿子是歌革。歌革的儿子是示每。
The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
