- 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。
- 乃缦说,你若不肯受,请将两骡子驮的土赐给仆人。从今以后,仆人必不再将燔祭或平安祭献与别神,只献给耶和华。
- 惟有一件事,愿耶和华饶恕你仆人,我主人进临门庙叩拜的时候,我用手搀他在临门庙,我也屈身。我在临门庙屈身的这事,愿耶和华饶恕我。
- 以利沙对他说,你可以平平安安地回去。乃缦就离开他去了。走了不远,
- 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。

- The prophet answered, "As surely as the LORD lives, whom I serve, I will not accept a thing." And even though Naaman urged him, he refused.
- "If you will not," said Naaman, "please let me, your servant, be given as much earth as a pair of mules can carry, for your servant will never again make burnt offerings and sacrifices to any other god but the LORD.
- But may the LORD forgive your servant for this one thing: When my master enters the temple of Rimmon to bow down and he is leaning on my arm and I bow there also--when I bow down in the temple of Rimmon, may the LORD forgive your servant for this."
- "Go in peace," Elisha said. After Naaman had traveled some distance,
- 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."
