20.神人以利沙的僕人基哈西心裏說:「我主人不願從這亞蘭人乃縵手裏受他帶來的禮物,我指著永生的耶和華起誓,我必跑去追上他,向他要些。」
Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said to himself, 「My master was too easy on Naaman, this Aramean, by not accepting from him what he brought. As surely as the LORD lives, I will run after him and get something from him.」
21.於是基哈西追趕乃縵。乃縵看見有人追趕,就急忙下車迎著他,說:「都平安嗎?」
So Gehazi hurried after Naaman. When Naaman saw him running toward him, he got down from the chariot to meet him. 「Is everything all right?」 he asked.
22.說:「都平安。我主人打發我來說:『剛才有兩個少年人,是先知門徒,從以法蓮山地來見我,請你賜他們一他連得銀子、兩套衣裳。』」
「Everything is all right,」 Gehazi answered. 「My master sent me to say, 『Two young men from the company of the prophets have just come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent[d] of silver and two sets of clothing.』」
23.乃縵說:「請受二他連得」;再三地請受,便將二他連得銀子裝在兩個口袋裏,又將兩套衣裳交給兩個僕人;他們就在基哈西前頭擡著走。
「By all means, take two talents,」 said Naaman. He urged Gehazi to accept them, and then tied up the two talents of silver in two bags, with two sets of clothing. He gave them to two of his servants, and they carried them ahead of Gehazi.
24.到了山岡,基哈西從他們手中接過來,放在屋裏,打發他們回去。
When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the things from the servants and put them away in the house. He sent the men away and they left.
