< 2 Chronicles 18 >
1 And it came to pass, when Jehoshaphat had riches and honour, in abundance, that he contracted, by marriage, affinity with Ahab.
Yanzu fa Yehoshafat ya wadace ƙwarai yana kuma da girma, ya kuma haɗa kansa da Ahab ta wurin aure.
2 So he went down, at the end of some years, unto Ahab, to Samaria, Ahab therefore sacrificed for him, sheep and oxen, in abundance, also for the people whom he had with him, -and then persuaded him to go up against Ramoth-gilead.
Bayan’yan shekaru sai ya gangara don yă ziyarci Ahab a Samariya. Ahab kuwa ya yanka tumaki da shanu masu yawa dominsa da kuma mutanen da suke tare da shi, ya kuma lallashe shi yă yaƙi Ramot Gileyad.
3 For Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go up with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said unto him—So am I, even as thou, and, like thy people, are my people, and, with thee, in the war.
Ahab sarkin Isra’ila ya tambayi Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda ya ce, “Za ka tafi tare da ni mu yaƙi Ramot Gileyad?” Yehoshafat ya amsa ya ce, “Ni kamar kai ne, kuma mutanena kamar naka ne; za mu tafi tare da kai a yaƙin.”
4 Then said Jehoshaphat, unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, some time to-day, the word of Yahweh.
Amma Yehoshafat ya kuma ce wa sarkin Isra’ila, “Da fari mu nemi bishewar Ubangiji.”
5 So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go up against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, and may God deliver it into the hand of the king!
Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya tattara annabawa duka, mutane ɗari huɗu, ya kuma tambaye su, “Mu tafi yaƙi a kan Ramot Gileyad ko kada mu tafi?” Suka amsa “Tafi, gama Allah zai ba da shi cikin hannun sarki.”
6 Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from him?
Amma Yehoshafat ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Babu wani annabin Ubangiji a nan da za mu tambaya?”
7 Then said the king of Israel unto Jehoshaphat—There is yet one man, by whom to seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never prophesying, concerning me, anything good—but—all his days—evil, the same, is Micaiah, son of Imla. Then said Jehoshaphat, Let not the king say, so!
Sarki Isra’ila ya amsa wa Yehoshafat, “Akwai guda har yanzu mai suna Mikahiya ɗan Imla, za mu iya nemi nufin Ubangiji daga gare shi, sai dai ba na sonsa domin bai taɓa yin annabci wani abu mai kyau game da ni ba, sai kullum masifa.” Yehoshafat ya amsa ya ce, “Kada sarki yă faɗa haka.”
8 And the king of Israel called for a certain officer, —and said, Haste, Micaiah son of Imla!
Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya kira ɗaya daga cikin ma’aikatansa ya ce, “A kawo Mikahiya ɗan Imla nan da nan.”
9 Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting, each upon his throne, clothed in robes, and they were sitting in an open space, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, —and, all the prophets, were prophesying before them.
Saye da rigunan sarakuna, sarki Isra’ila da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda suna zaune a kan kujerunsu na mulki a masussuka ta ƙofar shigar Samariya, tare da dukan annabawa suna ta annabci a gabansu.
10 Then did Zedekiah son of Chenaanah make him horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, With these, shalt thou push Syria, until they are consumed.
To, fa, Zedekiya ɗan Kena’ana ya yi ƙahonin ƙarfe, ya kuma furta, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Da waɗannan za ka sassoki Arameyawa sai sun hallaka.’”
11 And, all the prophets, were prophesying, so, saying, -Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper, and Yahweh will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
Dukan sauran annabawan suka yi irin annabcin nan. Suka ce, “A haura zuwa Ramot Gileyad a yi nasara, gama Ubangiji zai ba da shi cikin hannun sarki.”
12 And, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Lo! the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good for the king, —be thy word then, I pray thee, like one of theirs, so wilt thou speak good.
Ɗan saƙon da ya tafi don yă kawo Mikahiya kuwa ya ce masa, “Duba, kowannen a cikin annabawa ya yi faɗin nasara wa sarki. Don haka kai ma ka yi maganar da za tă gamshi sarki kamar yadda suka yi.”
13 Then said Micaiah, —By the life of Yahweh, whatsoever my God shall say, that, must I speak.
Amma Mikahiya ya ce, “Na rantse da ran Ubangiji, zan faɗa masa kawai abin da Allahna ya faɗa.”
14 Now, when he came unto the king, the king said unto him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up and prosper, and may they be delivered into your hand.
Da suka iso, sarki ya tambaye shi, “Mika, mu tafi mu yaƙi Ramot Gileyad, ko kada mu tafi?” Ya amsa, “Kai masa yaƙi za ka kuwa yi nasara, gama za a ba da su a hannunka.”
15 Then the king said unto him, How many times, must, I, be putting thee on oath, —that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?
Sarki ya ce masa, “Sau nawa zan sa ka rantse don ka faɗa gaskiya a cikin sunan Ubangiji?”
16 So he said, I saw all Israel, scattered upon the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, -and Yahweh said, No masters, have these! let them return every man unto his own house, in peace.
Sa’an nan Mikahiya ya amsa, “Na ga dukan Isra’ila sun warwatsu a kan tuddai kamar tumakin da ba su da makiyaya, kuma Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Waɗannan mutane ba su da maigida. Bari kowanne yă tafi gida cikin salama.’”
17 Then said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Said I not unto thee, He wilt not prophesy concerning me anything good, but evil?
Sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Ban faɗa maka cewa bai taɓa yin annabci wani abu mai kyau game da ni, in ba masifa ba?”
18 Then said he, Therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and, all the host of the heavens, standing, on his right hand and his left.
Mikahiya ya ci gaba, “Saboda haka sai ka ji maganar Ubangiji. Na ga Ubangiji yana zama a kan kursiyinsa tare da dukan rundunar sama tsaye a damansa da hagunsa.
19 Then said Yahweh, Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth-gilead? And one spake, saying after this manner, and another, saying after that manner.
Ubangiji kuwa ya ce, ‘Wa zai ruɗe Ahab sarki Isra’ila zuwa yaƙi da Ramot Gileyad da kuma zuwa mutuwarsa a can?’ “Wani ya ba da wata shawara, wani kuma wata dabam.
20 Then came there forth a spirit and stood before Yahweh, and said, I, will persuade him. And Yahweh said unto him, Wherewith?
A ƙarshe, wani ruhu ya zo gaba, ya tsaya a gaban Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Zan ruɗe shi.’ “Ubangiji ya yi tambaya, ‘Ta wace hanya?’
21 And he said, I will go forth and become a spirit of falsehood, in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said—Thou mayest persuade, moreover also, thou shalt prevail, go forth, and do, so.
“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.’
22 Now, therefore, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of these thy prophets, —but, Yahweh, hath spoken concerning thee—evil.
“To yanzu, Ubangiji ya sa ruhun ruɗu a bakunan waɗannan annabawanka. Ubangiji ya ƙayyade masifa dominka.”
23 Then drew near Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, —and said, Which then is the way the spirit of Yahweh passed from me, to speak with thee?
Sai Zedekiya ɗan Kena’ana ya haura ya mari Mikahiya a fuska. Ya ce, “Ta wace hanya ce ruhun Ubangiji ya fita daga gare ni ya zo ya yi magana da kai?”
24 Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou shalt see, on that day when thou shalt enter into a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.
Mikahiya ya amsa ya ce, “Za ka gane a ranar da ka je ka ɓuya a can cikin ɗaki.”
25 Then said the king of Israel, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon ruler of the city, and unto Joash son of the king;
Sa’an nan sarkin Isra’ila ya umarta, “Ɗauki Mikahiya ku aika da shi zuwa ga Amon mai mulkin birni da kuma ga Yowash ɗan sarki,
26 and ye shall say, Thus, saith the king, Put ye this one into the prison, —and feed him with the bread of oppression, and with the water of oppression, until I return in peace.
ku ce ga abin da sarki ya ce, ‘Ku jefa wannan mutum a kurkuku kada kuma ku ba shi wani abu sai dai burodi da ruwa har sai na dawo lafiya.’”
27 Then said Micaiah, If thou do, at all return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear! ye peoples, all!
Mikahiya ya furta ya ce, “Idan har ka dawo lafiya, to, Ubangiji bai yi magana ta wurina ba.” Ya kuma ƙara da cewa, “Dukanku mutane, ku lura da maganata!”
28 Then went up the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, against Ramothgilead.
Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda suka haura zuwa Ramot Gileyad.
29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [I am about] to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, but, thou, put on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.
Sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Zan ɓad da kama in shiga yaƙin, amma ka sa kayanka na sarauta.” Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya ɓad da kama ya shiga cikin yaƙin.
30 Now, the king of Syria, had commanded the captains of chariots which he had, saying, Ye shall not fight, with small [or] with great, —save with the king of Israel, alone.
To, fa, sarkin Aram ya umarce shugabannin keken yaƙinsa ya ce, “Kada ku yaƙi kowa, ƙarami ko babba, sai dai sarkin Isra’ila.”
31 So it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said, The king of Israel, it is. And they compassed him about, to fight, —but Jehoshaphat made outcry, and, Yahweh, helped him, yea God allured them away from him.
Sa’ad da shugabannin kekunan yaƙi suka ga Yehoshafat, sai suka yi tsammani, “Wannan ne sarkin Isra’ila.” Saboda haka suka juya don su yaƙe shi, amma Yehoshafat ya yi ihu, Ubangiji kuma ya taimake shi. Allah ya janye su daga gare shi,
32 And so it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him;
gama sa’ad da shugabannin keken yaƙi suka ga cewa ba shi ne sarkin Isra’ila ba, sai suka daina binsa.
33 but, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to the charioteer, Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore wounded.
Amma wani ya harba kibiya haka kawai, sai kibiyar ta sami sarki Ahab na Isra’ila a kafaɗa tsakanin rigar yaƙinsa na ƙarfe da ƙarfen ƙirjinsa. Sai sarki ya ce wa mai tuƙan keken yaƙi, “Juya ka fitar da ni daga wurin yaƙin. An ji mini rauni.”
34 But the battle increased on that day, and, the king of Israel, was propping himself up in the chariot before the Syrians, until evening, -and died at the time of the going in of the sun.
Duk yini yaƙi ya yi ta cin gaba, sarkin Isra’ila kuwa ya jingina kansa a cikin keken yaƙinsa yana duban Arameyawa har yamma. Sa’an nan a fāɗuwar rana sai ya mutu.
