1 Kings 20
1 Now Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he marched up, besieged Samaria, and waged war against it.
Ben-Hadad sarkin Aram kuwa ya tattara mayaƙansa gaba ɗaya. Sarakuna talatin da biyu suka tafi tare da shi haɗe da dawakansu da kekunan yaƙinsu. Ya haura ya yi wa Samariya kwanto, ya kuma yaƙe ta.
2 Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel,
Ya aika da’yan aika zuwa cikin birnin wurin Ahab sarkin Isra’ila yana cewa, “Ga abin da Ben-Hadad ya ce,
3 saying, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘Your silver and gold are mine, and your best wives and children are mine!’”
‘Azurfarka da zinariyarka nawa ne. Mafi kyau cikin matanka da’ya’yanka nawa ne.’”
4 And the king of Israel replied, “Just as you say, my lord the king: I am yours, along with all that I have.”
Sarkin Isra’ila ya amsa, ya ce, “Kamar dai yadda ka faɗa, ranka yă daɗe, sarki. Ni da dukan abin da nake da shi, naka ne.”
5 The messengers came back and said, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘I have sent to you to demand your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.
Sai’yan aikan suka sāke dawo suka ce, “Ga abin da Ben-Hadad ya ce, ‘Na aika ka ba da azurfarka da zinariyarka, matanka da kuma’ya’yanka.
6 But about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to search your palace and the houses of your servants. They will seize and carry away all that is precious to you.’”
Amma war haka gobe zan aika shugabannina su bincika fadanka da kuma gidajen shugabanninka. Za su kwashe dukan abubuwan da kake ganin darajarsu su tafi.’”
7 Then the king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said, “Please take note and see that this man is looking for trouble, for when he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, I did not deny him.”
Sarkin Isra’ila ya tattara dukan dattawan ƙasar, ya ce musu, “Ku duba fa, wannan mutum yana neman tsokana! Sa’ad da ya aika in ba shi matana da’ya’yana, azurfana da zinariyana, ban hana masa ba.”
8 And the elders and the people all said, “Do not listen to him or consent to his terms.”
Dattawa da dukan mutane suka amsa, suka ce, “Kada ka saurare shi ko ka yarda da abin da yake bukata.”
9 So Ahab answered the messengers of Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you demanded of your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” So the messengers departed and relayed the message to Ben-hadad.
Saboda haka ya ba wa’yan aikan Ben-Hadad amsa, ya ce, “Ku faɗa wa ranka yă daɗe, sarki, ‘Bawanka zai yi dukan abin da ka bukaci da farko, amma wannan na ƙarshe ba zan iya yin ba.’” Suka tafi suka kai amsar wa Ben-Hadad.
10 Then Ben-hadad sent another message to Ahab: “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if enough dust remains of Samaria for each of my men to have a handful.”
Sai Ben-Hadad ya aika da wani saƙo wa Ahab, ya ce, “Bari alloli su yi da ni yadda suke so, su kuma yi haka da tsanani, in isashen ƙura ta rage a Samariya da za a iya ba wa mutanena a tafin hannu.”
11 And the king of Israel replied, “Tell him: ‘The one putting on his armor should not boast like one taking it off.’”
Sarki Isra’ila ya amsa, ya ce, “Ku faɗa masa, ‘Wanda ya sa kayan yaƙinsa bai kamata yă yi fariya ba sai ya tuɓe su.’”
12 Ben-hadad received this message while he and the kings were drinking in their tents, and he said to his servants, “Take your positions.” So they stationed themselves against the city.
Ben-Hadad ya ji wannan saƙo yayinda shi da sarakunan suke sha a cikin tentunansu, sai ya umarce mutanensa, ya ce, “Ku shirya don yaƙi.” Saboda haka suka shirya don su yaƙi birnin.
13 Meanwhile a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Do you see this entire great army? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand this very day, and you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Ana cikin haka sai wani annabi ya zo wurin Ahab sarkin Isra’ila ya sanar masa cewa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ka ga wannan ɗumbun mayaƙa? Zan ba da su cikin hannunka a yau, sa’an nan za ka san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.’”
14 “By whom?” Ahab asked. And the prophet replied, “This is what the LORD says: ‘By the young officers of the district governors.’” “Who will start the battle?” asked Ahab. “You will,” answered the prophet.
Ahab ya ce, “Amma wa zai yi haka?” Annabin ya amsa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Sojoji matasa na shugabannin yankuna za su yi haka.’” Ya tambaya, “Wa kuma zai fara yaƙin?” Annabin ya amsa, “Kai za ka fara.”
15 So Ahab assembled the young officers of the district governors, and there were 232 men. And after them, he assembled the rest of the Israelite troops, 7,000 in all.
Saboda haka Ahab ya kira sojoji matasa na shugabannin yankuna, mutum 232. Sa’an nan ya tattara sauran Isra’ilawa su 7,000 gaba ɗaya.
16 They marched out at noon while Ben-hadad and the 32 kings allied with him were in their tents getting drunk.
Suka fita da tsakar rana yayinda Ben-Hadad tare da sarakuna 32 masu goyon bayansa suke cikin tentunansu suna sha, suna buguwa.
17 And the young officers of the district governors marched out first. Now Ben-hadad had sent out scouts, who reported to him, “Men are marching out of Samaria.”
Sojojin nan matasa na shugabannin yankuna suka fara fita. Ben-Hadad kuwa ya riga ya aiki’yan leƙen asiri, waɗanda suka ce, “Mutane suna zuwa daga Samariya.”
18 “If they have marched out in peace,” he said, “take them alive. Even if they have marched out for war, take them alive.”
Ya ce, “In sun fito don salama, ku kamo su da rai; in sun fito yaƙi ne, ku kamo su da rai.”
19 Meanwhile, these young officers of the district governors marched out of the city, with the army behind them,
Sojojin nan matasa na shugabannin yankuna suka taka suka fita daga birnin da mayaƙa a bayansu.
20 and each one struck down his opponent. So the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-hadad king of Aram escaped on horseback with the cavalry.
Kowannensu kuwa ya buge abokin gābansa. Ganin wannan, sai Arameyawa suka gudu, Isra’ilawa suna bi. Amma Ben-Hadad na Aram ya tsere a kan dokinsa tare da waɗansu mahayan dawakansa.
21 Then the king of Israel marched out and attacked the horses and chariots, inflicting a great slaughter on the Arameans.
Sarki Isra’ila ya bi, ya kuma sha ƙarfin dawakan da keken yaƙin, ya kashe Arameyawa da yawa.
22 Afterward, the prophet approached the king of Israel and said, “Go and strengthen your position, and take note what you must do, for in the spring the king of Aram will come up against you.”
Daga baya, annabin ya zo wurin sarkin Isra’ila ya ce, “Ka ƙarfafa matsayinka ka kuma ga abin da za a yi, gama a bazara mai zuwa sarkin Aram zai sāke kawo yaƙi.”
23 Meanwhile, the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills. That is why they prevailed over us. Instead, we should fight them on the plains; surely then we will prevail.
Ana cikin haka, shugabannin sarkin Aram suka ba shi shawara, “Allolinsu, allolin tuddai ne. Shi ya sa suka fi mu ƙarfi. Amma in mun yaƙe su a fili, tabbatacce za mu fi su ƙarfi.
24 So do this: Dismiss all the kings from their positions and replace them with other officers.
Ka yi wannan. Ka cire dukan sarakuna daga matsayinsu ka sa waɗansu shugabanni a maimakonsu.
25 And you must raise an army like the one you have lost—horse for horse and chariot for chariot—so we can fight the Israelites on the plain, where we will surely prevail.” And the king approved their plan and acted accordingly.
Dole kuma ka tā da waɗansu mayaƙa kamar waɗanda ka rasa, doki don doki, keken yaƙi kuma don keken yaƙi, saboda mu iya yaƙe Isra’ila a fili. Ta haka tabbatacce za mu fi ƙarfinsu.” Sai ya yarda da su, ya kuma yi haka.
26 In the spring, Ben-hadad mobilized the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
Bazara na biye Ben-Hadad ya tattara Arameyawa, ya haura zuwa Afek don yă yaƙi Isra’ila.
27 The Israelites also mobilized, gathered supplies, and marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped before them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside.
Sa’ad da aka tattara Isra’ilawa, aka kuma ba su guzuri, sai suka taka suka fita don su sadu da Arameyawa. Isra’ilawa suka kafa sansani ɗaura da su kamar ƙananan garkuna biyu na awaki, yayinda Arameyawa suka rufe dukan jejin.
28 Then the man of God approached the king of Israel and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not of the valleys, I will deliver all this great army into your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Sai mutumin Allah ya zo ya ce wa sarkin Isra’ila, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Domin Arameyawa suna tsammani Ubangiji allahn tuddai ne, ba allahn kwari ba, zan ba da wannan ɗumbun mayaƙa a hannuwanka, za ka kuwa sani ni ne Ubangiji.’”
29 For seven days the armies camped opposite each other, and on the seventh day the battle ensued, and the Israelites struck down the Arameans—a hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.
Kwana bakwai suka yi sansani ɗaura da juna, a rana ta bakwai sai yaƙi ya haɗu. Isra’ilawa suka kashe sojojin kafa na Arameyawa dubu ɗari a rana ɗaya.
30 The rest of them fled into the city of Aphek, where the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the remaining men. Ben-hadad also fled to the city and hid in an inner room.
Sauransu suka tsere zuwa birnin Afek, inda katangar ya fāɗa a kan mutum dubu ashirin da bakwai. Sai Ben-Hadad ya gudu zuwa birni ya ɓuya a ciki cikin ɗaki.
31 Then the servants of Ben-hadad said to him, “Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful. Let us go out to the king of Israel with sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will spare your life.”
Fadawansa suka je suka ce masa, “Mun ji an ce sarakunan Isra’ila masu jinƙai ne, bari mu sa tufafin makoki, mu ɗaura igiyoyi a wuyanmu, sa’an nan mu tafi wurin sarkin Isra’ila, wataƙila zai bar ka da rai.”
32 So with sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their heads, they went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please spare my life.’” And the king answered, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
Saye da tufafin makoki kewaye a gindinsu, da kuma igiyoyi kewaye da kawunansu, suka tafi wurin sarkin Isra’ila, suka ce, “Bawanka Ben-Hadad ya ce, ‘Ina roƙonka bari in rayu.’” Sarki ya amsa, “Har yanzu yana da rai? Shi ɗan’uwana ne.”
33 Now the men were looking for a sign of hope, and they quickly grasped at this word and replied, “Yes, your brother Ben-hadad.” “Go and get him!” said the king. Then Ben-hadad came out, and Ahab had him come up into his chariot.
Da ma abin da fadawan suke so su ji ke nan, sai suka yi sauri, suka karɓi maganar a bakinsa, suka ce, “I, ɗan’uwanka, Ben-hadad!” Sarki ya ce, “Ku je ku kawo shi.” Da Ben-Hadad ya fita, sai Ahab ya sa aka kawo shi cikin keken yaƙinsa.
34 Ben-hadad said to him, “I will restore the cities my father took from your father; you may set up your own marketplaces in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.” “By this treaty I release you,” Ahab replied. So he made a treaty with him and sent him away.
Ben-Hadad ya ce, “Zan mayar da biranen mahaifinka da na ƙwace daga mahaifinka. Za ka iya sa wurin kasuwarka a cikin Damaskus, kamar yadda mahaifinka ya yi a Samariya.” Ahab ya ce, “Bisa wannan yarjejjeniya zan sake ka.” Saboda haka ya yi yarjejjeniya da shi, sai ya bar shi ya tafi.
35 Meanwhile, by the word of the LORD, one of the sons of the prophets said to his companion, “Strike me, please!” But the man refused to strike him.
Ta wurin maganar Ubangiji, ɗaya daga cikin’ya’ya maza na annabawa ya ce wa abokinsa, “Ka buge ni da makaminka,” amma mutumin ya ƙi.
36 Then the prophet said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, as soon as you depart from me a lion will kill you.” And when he left, a lion found him and killed him.
Sai annabin ya ce, “Domin ba ka yi biyayya da Ubangiji ba, da zarar ka bar ni zaki zai kashe ka.” Daga baya mutumin ya tafi, zaki ya same shi, ya kuma kashe shi.
37 Then the prophet found another man and said, “Strike me, please!” So the man struck him and wounded him,
Annabin ya sami wani mutum ya ce, “Ka buge ni, ina roƙonka.” Sai mutumin ya buge shi, ya ji masa ciwo.
38 and the prophet went and waited on the road for the king, disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes.
Sa’an nan annabin ya tafi ya tsaya a bakin hanya yana jiran sarki. Ya ɓad da kamanni da ƙyalle a kansa. Ƙyallen ya sauka zuwa bisa idanunsa.
39 As the king passed by, he cried out to the king: “Your servant had marched out into the middle of the battle, when suddenly a man came over with a captive and told me, ‘Guard this man! If he goes missing for any reason, your life will be exchanged for his life, or you will weigh out a talent of silver.’
Yayinda sarki yake wucewa, sai annabin ya yi kira da ƙarfi gare shi ya ce “Ni bawanka na tafi yaƙi, sai ga wani ya kawo mini wani mutum, ya ce, ‘Ka riƙe wannan mutum, kada ka bar shi yă kuɓuta ko da ƙaƙa, idan ka bari ya kuɓuta, a bakin ranka, ko kuwa ka biya talanti ɗaya na azurfa.’
40 But while your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared.” And the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you have pronounced it on yourself.”
Yayinda bawanka yana fama, yana kai da kawowa, sai mutumin ya ɓace.” Sai sarkin Isra’ila ya ce, “Hukuncinka ke nan, ka furta shi da kanka.”
41 Then the prophet quickly removed the bandage from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
Sai annabin ya cire ƙyallen da sauri daga kansa, da ya rufe idanunsa, sarkin Isra’ila kuwa ya gane shi a matsayi ɗaya daga cikin annabawa.
42 And the prophet said to the king, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have let slip from your hand the man I had devoted to destruction, your life will be exchanged for his life, and your people for his people.’”
Sai ya ce wa sarki, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ka saki mutumin da na ƙudura yă mutu. Saboda haka ranka zai zama a maimakon ransa, mutanenka a maimakon mutanensa.’”
43 Sullen and angry, the king of Israel went home to Samaria.
Cike da fushi, sarkin Isra’ila ya tafi fadarsa a Samariya.
