1 Kings 22
1 For three years Aram and Israel were not at war.
Aka yi shekaru uku ba a yi yaƙi tsakanin Aram da Isra’ila ba.
2 But in the third year Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to visit the king of Israel.
Amma a shekara ta uku, Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda ya gangara don yă ga sarki Isra’ila.
3 The king of Israel had said to his officers, “Aren't you aware that Ramoth-gilead really belongs to us and yet we haven't done anything to take it back from the king of Aram?”
Sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa shugabanninsa, “Ba ku san cewa Ramot Gileyad namu ne ba, duk da haka ba mu yi kome ba don mu sāke karɓanta daga sarkin Aram?”
4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you join me in an attack to recapture Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “You and I are as one, my men and your men are as one, and my horses and your horses are as one.”
Saboda haka ya tambayi Yehoshafat, ya ce, “Za ka tafi tare da ni don in yi yaƙi da Ramot Gileyad?” Yehoshafat ya amsa wa sarkin Isra’ila, ya ce, “Ni ma kamar ka ne, mutanena kuwa kamar mutanenka, dawakaina kamar dawakanka.”
5 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “But first though, please find out what the Lord says.”
Amma Yehoshafat ya ce wa sarkin Isra’ila, “Da farko mu nemi nufin Ubangiji.”
6 So the king of Israel brought out the prophets—four hundred of them—and he asked them, “Should I go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead,” they replied, “for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya tattara annabawa, kamar ɗari huɗu, ya tambaye su, “In kai yaƙi a kan Ramot Gileyad, ko kada in kai?” Suka amsa, “Ka tafi, gama Ubangiji zai ba ka ita a hannunka.”
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there another prophet of the Lord here that we can ask?”
Amma Yehoshafat ya yi tambaya, ya ce, “Babu wani annabin Ubangiji a nan da za mu tambaya?”
8 “Yes, there's another man who could consult the Lord,” the king of Israel replied, “but I don't like him because he never prophesies anything good for me—it's always bad! His name is Micaiah, son of Imlah.” “You shouldn't talk like that,” said Jehoshaphat.
Sarkin Isra’ila ya amsa wa Yehoshafat, ya ce, “Akwai mutum guda har yanzu wanda ta wurinsa za mu iya nemi nufin Ubangiji, amma na ƙi jininsa domin bai taɓa yin annabci wani abu mai kyau game da ni ba, sai dai mummuna kullum. Shi ne Mikahiya ɗan Imla.” Yehoshafat ya ce, “Kada sarki ya ce haka.”
9 The king of Israel called over one of his officials and told him, “Bring me Micaiah, son of Imlah, right away.”
Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya kira ɗaya daga cikin shugabanninsa ya ce, “Kawo Mikahiya ɗan Imla nan take.”
10 Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor beside the gate of Samaria, with all of the prophets prophesying in front of them.
Saye da rigunansu na sarauta, sarkin Isra’ila da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda suna zama a kujerun sarautarsu a masussuka ta mashigin ƙofar Samariya, tare da dukan annabawa suna ta annabci a gabansu.
11 One of them, Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, had made himself iron horns. He announced, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these horns you will gore the Arameans until they're dead!”
Zedekiya ɗan Kena’ana kuwa ya yi ƙahonin ƙarfe ya kuma furta, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Da waɗannan za ka tunkuyi Arameyawa har su hallaka.’”
12 All the prophets were prophesying the same thing, saying, “Go ahead, attack Ramoth-gilead; you will be successful, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
Dukan sauran annabawan suka yi annabci iri abu ɗaya. Suka ce, “Ka yaƙi Ramot Gileyad, ka kuma yi nasara, gama Ubangiji zai ba da ita cikin hannun sarki.”
13 The messenger who went to call Micaiah told him, “Look, all the prophets are unanimous in prophesying positively to the king. So please make sure to speak positively like them.”
Ɗan aikan da ya je yă kawo Mikahiya, ya ce masa, “Duba, sauran annabawa suna maganar nasara wa sarki, sai ka ce mutum guda. Bari maganarka tă yarda da tasu, ka kuma yi maganar alheri.”
14 But Micaiah replied, “As the Lord lives, I can only say what my God tells me.”
Amma Mikahiya ya ce, “Na rantse da Ubangiji mai rai, zan faɗa masa kawai abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa mini.”
15 When he came before the king, the king asked him, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should we not?” “Yes, go ahead and be victorious,” Micaiah replied, “for the Lord will give it into the king's hand.”
Da suka kai, sai sarki ya tambaye shi, ya ce, “Mikahiya, mu kai yaƙi a kan Ramot Gileyad, ko kada mu kai?” Ya amsa ya ce, “Yaƙe ta, za ka kuwa yi nasara, gama Ubangiji zai ba da ita cikin hannun sarki.”
16 But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me only the truth in the name of the Lord?”
Sai sarki ya ce masa, “Sau nawa ne zan sa ka rantse cewa ba za ka faɗa mini kome ba sai dai gaskiya a cikin sunan Ubangiji?”
17 So Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘These people have no master; let each of them go home in peace.’”
Sa’an nan Mikahiya ya amsa, “Na ga dukan Isra’ila a warwatse a kan tuddai kamar tumakin da ba su da makiyayi, kuma Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Waɗannan mutane ba su da maigida. Bari kowa yă tafi gida cikin salama.’”
18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn't I tell you he never prophesies anything good for me, only bad?”
Sai sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Ban faɗa maka cewa bai taɓa yin annabci wani abu mai kyau game da ni, sai mummuna kawai ba?”
19 Micaiah went on to say, “So listen to what the Lord says. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, surrounded by the whole army of heaven standing to his right and to his left.
Mikahiya ya ci gaba, “Saboda haka ka ji maganar Ubangiji. I, na ga Ubangiji zaune a kursiyinsa tare da dukan rundunar sama tsaye kewaye da shi a dama da hagunsa.
20 The Lord asked, ‘Who will trick Ahab, king of Israel, into attacking Ramoth-gilead so he will be killed there?’ One said this, another said that, and another said something else.
Kuma Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Wa zai ruɗi Ahab zuwa yaƙi da Ramot Gileyad, yă kuma kai shi mutuwarsa a can?’ “Wani ya ce wannan, wani ya ce wancan.
21 Finally a spirit came and approached the Lord and said, ‘I will trick him.’
A ƙarshe, wani ruhu ya zo gaba, ya tsaya a gaban Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Zan ruɗe shi.’
22 ‘How are you going to do that?’ the Lord asked. ‘I will go and be a lying spirit and make all his prophets tell lies,’ the spirit replied. ‘That will work,’ the Lord responded. ‘Go and do it.’
“Ubangiji ya yi tambaya ‘Ta wace hanya?’ Ya ce, “‘Zan tafi in zama ruhun ƙarya a bakunan dukan annabawansa.’ “Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Za ka yi nasara a ruɗinsa. Ka tafi, ka yi haka.’
23 As you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit into these prophets of yours, and the Lord has pronounced your death sentence.”
“Saboda haka yanzu Ubangiji ya sa ruhun ƙarya a bakunan dukan annabawanka. Ubangiji ya zartar maka da masifa.”
24 Then Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, went and slapped Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go when he left me to speak to you?”
Sai Zedekiya ɗan Kena’ana ya hau ya mari Mikahiya a fuska. Ya yi tambaya, “A wace hanya ce ruhu daga Ubangiji ya bar ni ya yi maka magana?”
25 “You'll soon find out when you try and find some secret place to hide!” Micaiah replied.
Mikahiya ya amsa, “Za ka gane a ranar da ka je ka ɓuya a ciki cikin ɗaki.”
26 The king of Israel ordered, “Place Micaiah under arrest and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to my son Joash.
Sa’an nan sarkin Isra’ila ya umarta, “Ku kama Mikahiya, ku kai shi wurin Amon, shugaban birnin, da wurin Yowash ɗan sarki.
27 Tell them these are the king's instructions: ‘Put this man in jail. Give him only bread and water until my safe return.’”
Ku ce ga abin da sarki ya ce, ‘Ku sa wannan mutum a kurkuku, kuma kada ku ba shi wani abu sai dai burodi da ruwa, sai na dawo lafiya.’”
28 “If you do in fact return safely then the Lord has not spoken through me,” Micaiah declared. “Pay attention everyone to all I've said!”
Mikahiya ya furta, “Idan har ka dawo lafiya, to, Ubangiji bai yi magana ta wurina ba.” Ya kuma ƙara da cewa, “Ku lura da maganata, dukanku mutane!”
29 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to attack Ramoth-gilead.
Sai sarkin Isra’ila da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda suka haura zuwa Ramot Gileyad.
30 The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “When I go into battle I will be in disguise, but you should wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
Sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Zan ɓad da kama in shiga wurin yaƙi, amma ka sa kayan sarautarka.” Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya ɓad da kama, ya shiga cikin yaƙi.
31 The king of Aram had already given these orders to his chariot commanders: “Head straight for the king of Israel alone. Don't fight with anyone else, whoever they are.”
Sarkin Aram kuwa ya umarci shugabanni kekunan yaƙinsa talatin da biyu, ya ce, “Kada ku yaƙe kowa, ƙarami ko babba, sai dai sarkin Isra’ila.”
32 So when the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they shouted, “This must be the king of Israel!” So they turned to attack him, but when Jehoshaphat called out for help,
Sa’ad da shugabannin kekunan yaƙin suka ga Yehoshafat, suka yi tsammani, suka ce, “Tabbatacce wannan shi ne sarkin Isra’ila.” Saboda haka suka juye don su yaƙe shi, amma sa’ad da Yehoshafat ya yi ihu,
33 the chariot commanders saw it wasn't the king of Israel and stopped chasing him.
sai shugabannin kekunan yaƙin suka ga ashe ba sarkin Isra’ila ba ne, sai suka daina binsa.
34 However, an enemy archer shot an arrow at random, hitting the king of Israel between the joints of his armor by his breastplate. The king told his charioteer, “Turn around and get me out of the fight, because I've been wounded!”
Amma wani ya ja bakansa kawai ya bugi Ahab sarkin Isra’ila a tsakanin sassan kayan yaƙinsa. Sai sarki ya ce wa mahayin keken yaƙinsa, “Juye, ka fitar da ni daga yaƙin. An ji mini rauni.”
35 The battle lasted all day. The king of Israel was propped up in his chariot to face the Arameans, but in the evening he died. The blood had poured out of his wound onto the floor of the chariot.
Dukan yini aka yi ta yaƙi, aka kuma riƙe sarki a keken yaƙinsa yana fuskanci Arameyawa. Jini daga mikinsa ya yi ta zuba a ƙasan keken yaƙin, a wannan yamma kuwa ya mutu.
36 At sunset, a shout went out from the lines: “Retreat! Every man back to his town, every man back to his own country!”
Da rana tana fāɗuwa, sai kuka ta bazu cikin mayaƙa, “Kowane mutum ya tafi garinsu; kowa ya tafi ƙasarsa!”
37 So the king died. He was taken back to Samaria where they buried him.
Sai sarki ya mutu, aka kuwa kawo shi Samariya, aka binne shi a can.
38 They washed his chariot at a pool in Samaria where the prostitutes came to bathe, and dogs licked up his blood, just as the Lord had said.
Suka wanke keken yaƙi a tafki, a Samariya (inda karuwai suke wanka), sai karnuka suka lashe jininsa, kamar yadda maganar Ubangiji ta furta.
39 The rest of what happened in Ahab's reign, all that he did, the ivory palace he constructed and all the cities he built are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Ahab, haɗe da dukan abin da ya yi, da fadan da ya gina ya kuma shimfiɗa da hauren giwa, da biranen da ya gina, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Isra’ila.
40 Ahab died and his son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
Ahab ya huta da kakanninsa. Ahaziya ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
41 Jehoshaphat, son of Asa, became king of Judah in the fourth year of the reign of Ahab, king of Israel.
Yehoshafat ɗan Asa ya zama sarkin Yahuda a shekara ta huɗu ta Ahab sarkin Isra’ila.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
Yehoshafat yana da shekara talatin da biyar sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima shekaru ashirin da biyar. Sunan mahaifiyarsa, Azuba’yar Shilhi.
43 He followed all the ways of his father; he did not depart from them, and he did what was right in the Lord's sight. However, the high places were not removed and the people still sacrificed and presented offerings there.
A cikin kome ya yi tafiya a hanyoyin mahaifinsa Asa, bai kuma kauce daga gare su ba; ya yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji. Amma bai rurrushe masujadai da suke kan tuddai ba, mutane kuwa suka ci gaba da miƙa hadayu suna kuma ƙone turare a can.
44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
Yehoshafat kuma ya zauna lafiya da sarkin Isra’ila.
45 The rest of what happened in Jehoshaphat's reign, his great achievements and the wars he fought are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Yehoshafat da abubuwan da ya yi, da kuma yaƙe-yaƙensa, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
46 He expelled from the land any cult prostitutes who were left from the time of his father Asa.
Ya kawar da karuwai maza na masujadai da suke kan tuddai waɗanda suka rage tun mulkin mahaifinsa Asa.
47 (At that time there was no king in Edom; only a deputy who served as king.)
Babu sarki a lokacin Edom, saboda haka sai mataimaki ya yi mulki.
48 Jehoshaphat built sea-going ships to go to Ophir for gold, but they went because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
To, Yehoshafat ya gina jerin jiragen ruwan kasuwanci don su je Ofir saboda zinariya, amma ba su yi tafiya ba, gama sun farfashe a Eziyon Geber.
49 During that time Ahaziah, son of Ahab, asked Jehoshaphat, “Let my men sail with your men,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
A lokacin Ahaziya ɗan Ahab ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Bari mutanena su tafi tare da mutanenka,” amma Yehoshafat ya ƙi.
50 Jehoshaphat died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Jehoram succeeded him as king.
Yehoshafat kuwa ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi tare da su a birnin Dawuda kakansa. Sai Yehoram ɗansa ya gāje shi.
51 Ahaziah, son of Ahab, became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel for two years.
Ahaziya ɗan Ahab ya zama sarkin Isra’ila a Samariya a shekara ta goma sha bakwai ta Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda, ya kuma yi mulki a bisa Isra’ila shekaru biyu.
52 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the ways of his father and mother, and of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin.
Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, domin ya yi tafiya a hanyoyin mahaifinsa da na mahaifiyarsa, da kuma a hanyoyin Yerobowam ɗan Nebat, wanda ya sa Isra’ila suka yi zunubi.
53 He served Baal and worshiped him, and angered the Lord, the God of Israel, just as his father had.
Ya bauta, ya kuma yi wa Ba’al sujada, ya tsokane Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila yă yi fushi, kamar yadda mahaifinsa ya yi.
