1 Kings 21
1 Sometime later this happened: There was a man named Naboth from Jezreel, who owned a vineyard in Jezreel close to King Ahab's palace in Samaria.
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 Ahab went to Naboth and said, “Give me your vineyard so I can turn it into a vegetable garden, because it's close to my palace. In return I'll give you a better vineyard, or if you want I'll pay you for it in cash.”
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 But Naboth replied, “The Lord curse me if I should give you my forefathers' inheritance.”
Amma Nabot ya amsa wa Ahab ya ce, “Ubangiji yă sawwaƙe in ba ka gādon kakannina.”
4 Ahab went home sulking and infuriated because Naboth from Jezreel had said, “I will not give you my forefathers' inheritance.” He went to bed, wouldn't look at anyone, and refused to eat.
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 His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, “Why are you so upset about? That you don't want to eat?”
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 Ahab replied, “It's because I talked with Naboth from Jezreel and I asked him, ‘Give me your vineyard for cash, or if you want, I'll give you another vineyard instead.’ But he said, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
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 “Aren't you the king of Israel?” his wife Jezebel replied. “Get up, have something to eat, and cheer up. I'll get you the vineyard of Naboth from Jezreel.”
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 So she wrote some letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal. She sent the letters to the elders and leaders in the town where Naboth lived.
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 In the letters she wrote to tell them, “Announce a religious fast, and give Naboth a seat of honor.
Cikin waɗannan wasiƙu ta rubuta, “Ku yi shelar ranar azumi, ku zaunar da Nabot a wuri mai martaba a cikin mutane.
10 But seat two bad men opposite him and have them accuse him, saying, ‘You have cursed God and the king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”
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 So the elders and leaders who lived in Naboth's town did as Jezebel had said in the letters she had written and sent to them.
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 They announced a religious fast, and gave Naboth a seat of honor.
Suka yi shelar azumi, suka kuma zaunar da Nabot a wuri mai martaba a cikin mutane.
13 Two bad men came and sat opposite him, and accused him in front of the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed God and the king.” So they took him outside the town and stoned him to death.
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 Then they sent a message to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned. He's dead.”
Sa’an nan suka aika wa Yezebel. “An jajjefe Nabot, ya kuma mutu.”
15 As soon as Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and he was dead, Jezebel told Ahab, “Get up, go and claim ownership of the vineyard of Naboth from Jezreel, which he refused to sell you, for Naboth is no longer alive, but dead.”
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 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went to claim ownership of Naboth's vineyard.
Da Ahab ya ji cewa Nabot ya mutu, sai ya tashi ya gangara don yă mallaki gonar inabin Nabot.
17 Then the Lord sent a message to Elijah the Tishbite:
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Iliya mutumin Tishbe.
18 “Go and meet Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria. He is right now in Naboth's vineyard, where he has gone to claim ownership of it.
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 Tell him: This is what the Lord says: Have you murdered a man and robbed him? Then tell him: This is what the Lord says: In the very spot where dogs licked up Naboth's blood, dogs will lick up your own blood.”
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 “So have you come to find me, my enemy?” Ahab asked Elijah. “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do what is evil in the Lord sight,” Elijah replied.
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 He says, “Watch out! I'm going to bring disaster on you and destroy your descendants. I will kill from every male of Ahab's line, both slave and free, in the whole of Israel.
‘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 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and like that of Baasha, son of Ahijah, because you have angered me and made Israel sin.
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 as far as Jezebel is concerned, the Lord says, ‘Dogs will eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
“Game da Yezebel kuwa Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Karnuka za su cinye Yezebel a katangar Yezireyel.’
24 Those of Ahab's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds.”
“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 (No one else was so bad as Ahab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the Lord's sight, because his wife Jezebel encouraged him.
(Babu wani mutum kamar Ahab, wanda ya ba da kansa ga aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji. Yezebel matarsa ce ta zuga shi.
26 He did the most despicable things, worshiping idols like the Amorites the Lord had driven out before Israel.)
Ya yi abar ƙyama ƙwarai ta wurin bin gumaka, kamar Amoriyawan da Ubangiji ya kora a gaban Isra’ila.)
27 As soon as Ahab heard this message, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He even went to bed in sackcloth, and walked around repentantly.
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 Then the Lord sent a message to Elijah the Tishbite:
Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Iliya mutumin Tishbe, ta ce,
29 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself before me, I will not bring the disaster during his lifetime, but I will bring down disaster on his family in the lifetime of his son.”
“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.”
