< Kings III 21 >

1 And Achaab numbered the young men the heads of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty: and afterwards he numbered the people, [even] every man fit for war, seven thousand.
Ana nan bayan haka sai waɗannan abubuwa suka faru. Nabot mutumin Yezireyel yana da gonar inabi a Yezireyel, a yankin Samariya, kusa da gidan Sarki Ahab.
2 And he went forth at noon, an the son of Ader was drinking [and] getting drunk in Socchoth, he and the kings, [even] thirty and two kings, his allies.
Sai Ahab ya ce wa Nabot, “Ka ba ni gonar inabinka in yi amfani da ita don kayan lambu, da yake tana kusa da fadana. Zan ba ka wata gonar inabin da ta fi wannan, ko kuma in ka gwammace, sai in biya ka duk abin da ya dace da ita.”
3 And the young men the heads of the districts went forth first; and they send and report to the king of Syria, saying, There are men come forth out of Samaria.
Amma Nabot ya amsa wa Ahab ya ce, “Ubangiji yă sawwaƙe in ba ka gādon kakannina.”
4 And he said to them, If they come forth peaceably, take them alive; and if they come forth to war, take them alive:
Ahab ya cika da fushi saboda Nabot, mutumin Yezireyel ya ce, “Ba zan ba ka gādon kakannina ba.” Ya kwanta a gadonsa yana zub da hawaye, ya kuma ƙi cin abinci.
5 and let not the young men the heads of the districts go forth of the city. And the force that was behind them
Matarsa Yezebel ta shiga ciki ta tambaye shi, ta ce, “Me ya sa ka kumbura? Me ya sa ba za ka ci abinci ba?”
6 struck each one the man next to him; and each one a second time struck the man next to him: and Syria fled, and Israel pursued them; and the son of Ader, [even] the king of Syria, escapes on the horse of a horseman.
Sai ya amsa mata, ya ce, “Domin na ce wa Nabot mutumin Yezireyel, ‘Ka sayar mini gonar inabinka; ko kuwa in ka gwammace, zan ba ka wata gonar inabi a maimakonta.’ Amma ya ce, ‘Ba zan ba ka gonar inabina ba.’”
7 And the king of Israel went forth, and took all the horses and the chariots, and struck [the enemy] with a great slaughter in Syria.
Yezebel matarsa ta ce, “Yaya kake yi kamar ba kai ne sarki Isra’ila ba? Tashi ka ci abinci! Ka yi farin ciki. Zan ba ka gonar inabin Nabot mutumin Yezireyel.”
8 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said, Strengthen yourself, and observe, and see what you shall do; for at the return of the year the son of Ader king of Syria comes up against you.
Sai ta rubuta wasiƙu a sunan Ahab, ta buga hatiminsa a kansu, sa’an nan ta aika su ga dattawa da manyan gari waɗanda suke zama a birnin da Nabot yake.
9 And the servants of the king of Syria, even they said, The God of Israel [is] a God of mountains, and not a God of valleys; therefore has he prevailed against us: but if we should fight against them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them.
Cikin waɗannan wasiƙu ta rubuta, “Ku yi shelar ranar azumi, ku zaunar da Nabot a wuri mai martaba a cikin mutane.
10 And do you this thing: Send away the kings, each one to his place, and set princes in their stead.
Amma ku zaunar da waɗansu’yan iska biyu ɗaura da shi, ku sa su ba da shaida cewa ya zagi Allah da sarki. Sa’an nan ku ɗauke shi ku jajjefe shi da dutse sai ya mutu.”
11 And we will give you [another] army according to the army that was destroyed, and cavalry according to the cavalry, and chariots according to the chariots, and we will fight against them in the plain, and we shall prevail against them. And he listened to their voice, and did so.
Sai dattawa da manyan gari, waɗanda suke zama a birnin da Nabot yake, suka yi kamar yadda Yezebel ta umarta a cikin wasiƙun da ta rubuta.
12 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that the son of Ader reviewed Syria, and went up to Apheca to war against Israel.
Suka yi shelar azumi, suka kuma zaunar da Nabot a wuri mai martaba a cikin mutane.
13 And the children of Israel were numbered, and came to meet them: and Israel encamped before them as two little flocks of goats, but Syria filled the land.
Sa’an nan’yan iska biyu suka zo, suka zauna ɗaura da shi, suka kawo zarge a kan Nabot a gaban mutane, suna cewa, “Nabot ya zagi Allah da sarki.” Saboda haka aka ɗauke shi waje da birnin, aka jajjefe shi da dutse har ya mutu.
14 And there came the man of God, and said to the king of Israel, Thus says the Lord, Because Syria has said, The Lord God of Israel [is] a God of the hills, and he [is] not a God of the valleys, therefore will I give this great army into your hand, and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
Sa’an nan suka aika wa Yezebel. “An jajjefe Nabot, ya kuma mutu.”
15 And they encamp one over against the other before them seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew on, and Israel struck Syria, [even] a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
Nan da nan sa’ad da Yezebel ta ji cewa an jajjefe Nabot da dutse ya kuma mutu, sai ta ce wa Ahab, “Tashi ka mallaki gonar inabin Nabot mutumin Yezireyel wanda ya ƙi ya sayar maka. Ba shi da rai, ya mutu.”
16 And the rest fled to Apheca, into the city; and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men that were left: and the son of Ader fled, and entered into an inner chamber, into a closet.
Da Ahab ya ji cewa Nabot ya mutu, sai ya tashi ya gangara don yă mallaki gonar inabin Nabot.
17 And he said to his servants, I know that the kings of Israel are merciful kings: let us now put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and let us go forth to the king of Israel, if by any means he will save our souls alive.
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Iliya mutumin Tishbe.
18 So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and put ropes upon their heads, and said to the king of Israel, Your servant the son of Ader says, Let our souls live, I pray you. And he said, Does he yet live? He is my brother.
Ta ce, “Gangara don ka sadu da Ahab sarkin Isra’ila, wanda yake mulki a Samariya. Yanzu yana a gonar inabin Nabot, inda ya tafi yă mallake ta.
19 And the men divined, and offered drink-offerings; and they caught the word out of his mouth, and said, Your brother the son of Ader. And he said, Go you in and fetch him. And the son of Ader went out to him, and they cause him to go up to him into the chariot.
Ka ce masa, Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ba ka kashe mutum ka kuma ƙwace kayansa ba?’ Sa’an nan ka ce masa ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘A inda karnuka suka lashe jinin Nabot, karnuka za su lashe jininka, I, naka!’”
20 And he said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore to you; and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made streets in Samaria; and I will let you go with a covenant. And he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
Ahab ya ce wa Iliya, “Wato, ka same ni kuma, abokin gābana!” Sai ya amsa ya ce, “Na same ka, domin ka sayar da kanka ga yin mugunta a gaban Ubangiji.
21 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Strike me, I pray, And the man would not strike him.
‘Zan kawo masifa a kanka. Zan kawar da zuriyarka, in kuma yanke daga Ahab kowane ɗa namiji na ƙarshe cikin Isra’ila, bawa ko’yantacce.
22 And he said to him, Because you have not listened to the voice of the Lord, therefore, behold, as you depart from me, a lion shall strike you: and he departed from him, and a lion found him, and struck him.
Zan mai da gidanka kamar gida Yerobowam ɗan Nebat, da na Ba’asha ɗan Ahiya, domin ka tsokane ni har na yi fushi, ka kuma sa Isra’ila ya yi zunubi.’
23 And he finds another man, and says, Strike me, I pray you. And the man struck him, and in striking wounded [him].
“Game da Yezebel kuwa Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Karnuka za su cinye Yezebel a katangar Yezireyel.’
24 And the prophet went and stood before the king of Israel by the way, and bound his eyes with a bandage.
“Karnuka za su cinye waɗanda suke na Ahab waɗanda suka mutu a cikin birni, tsuntsayen sararin sama kuma za su cinye waɗanda suka mutu a jeji.”
25 And it came to pass as the king passed by, that he cried aloud to the king, and said, Your servant went out to war, and, behold, a man brought [another] man to me, and said to me, Keep his man; and if he should by any means escape, then your life shall go for his life, or you shall pay a talent of silver.
(Babu wani mutum kamar Ahab, wanda ya ba da kansa ga aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji. Yezebel matarsa ce ta zuga shi.
26 And it came to pass, that your servant looked round this way and that way, and the man was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, Behold, you have also destroyed snares [set] for me.
Ya yi abar ƙyama ƙwarai ta wurin bin gumaka, kamar Amoriyawan da Ubangiji ya kora a gaban Isra’ila.)
27 And he hasted, and took away the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognised him, that he was one of the prophets.
Sa’ad da Ahab ya ji waɗannan kalmomi, sai ya yage rigarsa, ya sa rigunan makoki, ya kuma yi azumi. Ya kwanta a kayan makoki, ya kuma yi tafiya cikin sauƙinkai.
28 And he said to him, Thus says the Lord, Because you have suffered to escape out of your hand a man appointed to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Iliya mutumin Tishbe, ta ce,
29 And the king of Israel departed confounded and discouraged, and came to Samaria.
“Ka lura da yadda Ahab ya ƙasƙantar da kansa a gabana kuwa? Domin ya ƙasƙantar da kansa, ba zan kawo wannan masifa a kwanakinsa ba, amma zan kawo ta a kan gidansa a kwanakin ɗansa.”
