1 Kings 18
1 After many dayes, the worde of the Lord came to Eliiah, in the third yeere, saying, Goe, shewe thy selfe vnto Ahab, and I will sende rayne vpon the earth.
Bayan dogon lokaci, a cikin shekara ta uku, maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa Iliya, ta ce, “Tafi, ka gabatar da kanka ga Ahab, zan kuwa aika da ruwan sama a ƙasar.”
2 And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria.
Saboda haka Iliya ya tafi ya gabatar da kansa ga Ahab. Yanzu dai yunwa ta tsananta a Samariya,
3 And Ahab called Obadiah the gouernour of his house: (and Obadiah feared God greatly:
Ahab kuma ya aika a kawo Obadiya, sarkin fadansa (Obadiya dai cikakken mai gaskata da Ubangiji ne.
4 For when Iezebel destroyed the Prophets of the Lord, Obadiah tooke an hundreth Prophets, and hid them, by fiftie in a caue, and he fed them with bread and water.)
Yayinda Yezebel tana kisan annabawan Ubangiji, Obadiya ya ɗauki annabawa ɗari ya ɓoye a kogwanni biyu, hamsin a kowanne, ya kuma tanada musu abinci da kuma ruwa.)
5 And Ahab saide vnto Obadiah, Goe into the land, vnto all the fountaines of water, and vnto all the riuers, if so be that we may finde grasse to saue the horses and the mules aliue, lest we depriue the lande of the beastes.
Ahab ya ce wa Obadiya, “Ka ratsa ƙasar zuwa dukan maɓulɓulai da fadamu. Mai yiwuwa ka sami ciyawa mu ba dawakai da alfadarai don su rayu, don kada mu kashe dabbobinmu.”
6 And so they deuided the lande betweene them to walke thorowe it. Ahab went one way by him selfe, and Obadiah went another way by him selfe.
Saboda haka suka raba ƙasar da za su ratsa, Ahab zai tafi gefe ɗaya, Obadiya kuma yă bi gefe ɗaya.
7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Eliiah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art not thou my lord Eliiah?
Yayinda Obadiya yana tafiya, sai Iliya ya sadu da shi. Obadiya ya gane shi, ya rusuna har ƙasa, ya ce, “Kai ne, shugabana, Iliya?”
8 And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
Iliya ya amsa, ya ce, “I, je ka faɗa wa maigidanka cewa, ‘Iliya yana a nan.’”
9 And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?
Obadiya ya yi tambaya, “Me na yi da ba daidai ba, da kake miƙa bawanka ga Ahab don yă kashe?
10 As the Lord thy God liueth, there is no nation or kingdome, whither my lorde hath not sent to seeke thee: and when they sayd, He is not here, he tooke an othe of the kingdome and nation, if they had not found thee.
Na rantse da Ubangiji Allahnka, babu al’umma ko masarauta da mai girma sarki bai aika a nemo ka ba. In suka ce ba ka can, sai yă sa mulkin ko al’ummar su rantse, cewa ai, ba su same ka ba.
11 And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
Amma yanzu kana faɗa mini in tafi wurin mai girma in ce, ‘Iliya yana a nan.’
12 And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord shall cary thee into some place that I doe not know: so when I come and tell Ahab, if he cannot finde thee, then wil he kill me: But I thy seruant feare the Lord from my youth.
Ban san inda Ruhun Ubangiji zai kai ka sa’ad da na bar ka ba. In na tafi na faɗa wa Ahab bai kuma same ka a nan ba, zai sa a kashe ni. Tuna fa, ni bawanka, na yi wa Ubangiji sujada tun ina saurayi.
13 Was it not tolde my lord, what I did when Iezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundreth men of the Lordes Prophets by fifties in a caue, and fed them with bread and water?
Ranka yă daɗe, ashe, ba a faɗa maka abin da na yi lokacin da Yezebel ta karkashe annabawan Ubangiji ba? Yadda na ɓoye annabawa ɗari, na sa su hamsin-hamsin a kogwanni biyu, na yi ta ba su abinci da ruwa.
14 And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me.
Yanzu fa, kana ce in tafi wurin mai girma sarki, in ce, ‘Iliya yana a nan.’ Ai, zai kashe ni!”
15 And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day.
Iliya ya ce, “Na rantse da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, wanda nake bauta wa, tabbatacce zan gabatar da kaina ga Ahab a yau.”
16 So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah.
Saboda haka sai Obadiya ya tafi wurin Ahab ya faɗa masa, Ahab kuwa ya tafi wurin Iliya.
17 And when Ahab saw Eliiah, Ahab said vnto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
Sa’ad da Ahab ya ga Iliya, sai ya ce masa, “Kai ne wannan, kai mai tā-da-na-zaune-tsaye a Isra’ila?”
18 And he answered, I haue not troubled Israel, but thou, and thy fathers house, in that ye haue forsaken the commandements of the Lord, and thou hast followed Baalim.
Iliya ya amsa, ya ce, “Ban tā-da-na-zaune-tsaye a Isra’ila ba. Amma kai da iyalin mahaifinka, ku kuka tā-da-na-zaune-tsaye. Ka ƙyale umarnai Ubangiji, ka bi Ba’al.
19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel vnto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal foure hundreth and fiftie, and the prophets of the groues foure hundreth, which eate at Iezebels table.
Yanzu ka tara mutane daga dukan Isra’ila su sadu da ni a kan Dutsen Karmel. Ka kuma kawo annabawa ɗari huɗu da hamsin na Ba’al, da kuma annabawa ɗari huɗu na Ashera, waɗanda suke ci a teburin Yezebel.”
20 So Ahab sent vnto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together vnto mount Carmel.
Sai Ahab ya aika a duk fāɗin Isra’ila, ya kuma tattara annabawan a kan Dutsen Karmel.
21 And Eliiah came vnto all the people, and said, How long halt ye betweene two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him: but if Baal be he, then goe after him. And the people answered him not a worde.
Iliya ya je gaban mutane ya ce, “Har yaushe za ku yi ta yawo tsakanin ra’ayoyi biyu? In Ubangiji ne Allah, ku bi shi; amma in Ba’al Allah ne, ku bi shi.” Mutane dai ba su ce uffam ba.
22 Then said Eliiah vnto the people, I onely remayne a Prophet of the Lord: but Baals prophets are foure hundreth and fiftie men.
Sai Iliya ya ce musu, “Ni ne kaɗai annabin Ubangiji da ya rage, amma Ba’al yana da annabawa ɗari huɗu da hamsin.
23 Let them therefore giue vs two bullockes, and let them chuse the one, and cut him in pieces, and lay him on the wood, but put no fire vnder, and I will prepare the other bullocke, and lay him on the wood, and will put no fire vnder.
Ku samo mana bijimai biyu. Bari su zaɓa ɗaya wa kansu, bari kuma su yanka shi kucu-kucu su sa a itace, sai dai, kada su sa wuta a kansa. Ni kuwa zan shirya ɗaya bijimin in sa a kan itace, ni ma, ba zan sa wuta a kansa ba.
24 Then call ye on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord: and then the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered, and sayde, It is well spoken.
Sa’an nan ku kira bisa sunan allahnku, ni kuwa zan kira bisa sunan Ubangiji. Duk allahn da ya amsa ta wurin wuta, shi ne Allah.” Sai dukan jama’a suka ce, “Abin nan da faɗa yana da kyau.”
25 And Eliiah said vnto the prophets of Baal, Chuse you a bullocke, and prepare him first, (for ye are many) and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire vnder.
Iliya ya ce wa annabawan Ba’al, “Ku ku fara zaɓi bijimi ɗaya, ku shirya, da yake kuna da yawa. Ku kira a bisa sunan allahnku, amma kada ku ƙuna wuta.”
26 So they tooke the one bullocke, that was giuen them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal, from morning to noone, saying, O Baal, heare vs: but there was no voyce, nor any to answere: and they leapt vpon the altar that was made.
Sai suka ɗauki bijimin da aka ba su suka shirya shi. Sa’an nan suka kira bisa sunan Ba’al daga safe har tsakar rana. Suna ihu, “Ya Ba’al, ka amsa mana!” Amma babu wata amsa, babu wani da ya amsa. Suka yi ta rawa kewaye da bagaden da suka yi.
27 And at noone Eliiah mocked them, and said, Crye loude: for he is a god: either he talketh or pursueth his enemies, or is in his iourney, or it may be that he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
Da tsakar rana, Iliya ya fara yin musu ba’a. Ya ce, “Ku yi ihu da ƙarfi, tabbatacce shi allah ne! Mai yiwuwa yana cikin zurfin tunani, ko dai aiki ya yi masa yawa, ko ya yi tafiya. Mai yiwuwa yana barci ne, dole a tashe shi.”
28 And they cryed loude, and cut them selues as their maner was, with kniues and launcers, till the blood gushed out vpon them.
Sai suka yi ta ihu da ƙarfi suna tsattsaga kansu da takuba da māsu, yadda al’adarsu take, sai da jininsu ya yi ta zuba.
29 And when midday was passed, and they had prophecied vntil the offring of the euening sacrifice, there was neither voyce, nor one to answere, nor any that regarded.
Tsakar rana ta wuce, suka ci gaba da ƙoƙari, suna annabci har lokacin miƙa hadayar yamma ya yi. Amma babu wani da ya tanƙa, babu wani da ya amsa, babu wanda ya kula.
30 And Eliiah said vnto all the people, Come to me. And all the people came to him. And he repayred the altar of the Lord that was broken downe.
Sa’an nan Iliya ya ce wa dukan mutane, “Ku zo nan wurina.” Suka zo wurinsa, ya kuma shirya bagaden Ubangiji, da ya riga ya zama kufai.
31 And Eliiah tooke twelue stones, according to the nomber of the tribes of the sonnes of Iaakob, (vnto whome the worde of the Lord came, saying, Israel shalbe thy name)
Iliya ya ɗauki duwatsu goma sha biyu, ɗaya don kowace kabila zuriyar Yaƙub, wanda maganar Ubangiji ta zo masa, cewa, “Sunanka zai zama Isra’ila.”
32 And with the stones he buylt an altar in the Name of the Lord: and he made a ditch round about the altar, as great as woulde conteine two measures of seede.
Da waɗannan duwatsun ya gina bagade cikin sunan Ubangiji, ya kuma haƙa wuriya kewaye da shi, isashe da zai ci garwa biyu na irin ƙwayar gyada.
33 And he put the wood in order, and hewed the bullocke in pieces, and layd him on the wood,
Ya shirya itace, ya yayyanka bijimin kucu-kucu, ya shimfiɗa shi a itacen. Sa’an nan ya ce musu, “Ku cika manyan tuluna da ruwa, ku zuba a kan hadayar da kuma a kan itacen.” Suka zuba.
34 And said, Fill foure barrels with water, and powre it on the burnt offring and on the wood. Againe he said, Doe so againe. And they did so the second time. And he sayde, Doe it the third time. And they did it the third time.
Ya ce, “Ku sāke yin haka,” sai suka sāke yin haka. Ya umarta, “Ku yi haka sau na uku,” suka kuma yi haka sau na uku.
35 And the water ran round about the altar: and he filled the ditch with water also.
Ruwan ya gangara kewaye da bagaden har ma ya cika wuriyar.
36 And when they should offer the euening sacrifice, Eliiah the Prophet came, and sayd, Lord God of Abraham, Izhak and of Israel, let it be knowen this day, that thou art the God of Israel, and that I am thy seruant, and that I haue done all these things at thy commandement.
A lokacin hadaya, sai annabi Iliya ya zo gaba ya yi addu’a, ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Allah na Ibrahim, na Isra’ila da kuma na Yaƙub, bari a sani a yau cewa kai Allah ne a cikin Isra’ila, a kuma san cewa ni bawanka ne, na kuma yi dukan waɗannan abubuwa bisa umarninka.
37 Heare me, O Lord, heare me, and let this people know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart againe at the last.
Ka amsa mini, ya Ubangiji, ka amsa mini, saboda waɗannan mutane su san cewa kai, ya Ubangiji, kai ne Allah, su kuma san cewa kana sāke juye zukatansu zuwa gare ka.”
38 Then the fire of the Lord fell, and consumed the burnt offring, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked vp the water that was in the ditche.
Sai wutar Ubangiji ya fāɗo, ya cinye hadayar, itacen, duwatsun da kuma ƙasar, ya lashe ruwan da yake cikin wuriyar.
39 And when all the people sawe it, they fell on their faces, and saide, The Lord is God, the Lord is God.
Sa’ad da mutane suka ga wannan, sai suka rusuna, suka sunkuyar da kai suka ce, “Ubangiji, shi ne Allah! Ubangiji, shi ne Allah!”
40 And Elijah said vnto them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not a man of them escape. and they tooke them, and Eliiah brought them to the brooke Kishon, and slewe them there.
Sa’an nan Iliya ya umarce su, ya ce, “Ku kama annabawan Ba’al, kada ku bar waninsu yă tsere!” Suka kama su, Iliya kuwa ya sa aka gangara da su zuwa Kwarin Kishon, aka yayyanka su a can.
41 And Eliiah sayde vnto Ahab, Get thee vp, eate and drinke, for there is a sound of much rayne.
Sai Iliya ya ce wa Ahab, “Ka haura gida, ka ci, ka sha, gama ina jin motsin ruwan sama mai yawa.”
42 So Ahab went vp to eate and to drinke, and Eliiah went vp to the top of Carmel: and he crouched vnto the earth, and put his face betweene his knees,
Sai Ahab ya ruga don yă ci, yă sha, amma Iliya ya hau kan ƙwanƙolin Karmel, ya rusuna ƙasa, ya sa fuska a tsakanin gwiwarsa.
43 And sayde to his seruant, Goe vp now and looke towarde the way of the Sea. And he went vp, and looked, and sayde, There is nothing. Againe he sayd, Goe againe seuen times.
Ya ce wa bawansa, “Tafi ka dubi wajen teku.” Sai bawan ya haura ya duba. Ya ce, “Ba kome a can.” Sau bakwai Iliya ya ce, “Koma.”
44 And at the seuenth time he sayd, Behold, there ariseth a litle cloude out of the sea like a mans hand. Then he sayd, Vp, and say vnto Ahab, Make readie thy charet, and get thee downe, that the raine stay thee not.
Sau na bakwai, bawan ya ce, “Wani girgije ƙarami kamar hannun mutum yana tasowa daga teku.” Sai Iliya ya ce, “Je ka faɗa wa Ahab, ‘Shirya keken yaƙinka, ka gangara kafin ruwan sama yă tare ka.’”
45 And in the meane while the heauen was blacke with cloudes and winde, and there was a great rayne. Then Ahab went vp and came to Izreel.
Ana cikin haka, sarari ya ƙara duhunta da girgije, iska ta taso, sai ruwan sama kamar da bakin kwarya ya sauko, Ahab kuwa ya hau zuwa Yezireyel.
46 And the hand of the Lord was on Eliiah, and he girded vp his Ioynes, and ran before Ahab till he came to Izreel.
Ikon Ubangiji ya sauko a kan Iliya, ya sha ɗamara, ya ruga a guje a gaban Ahab har zuwa Yezireyel.
