< 2 Kings 6 >
1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, —See, we pray thee, the place wherein we sit before thee, is too strait for us.
Sai ƙungiyar annabawa suka ce wa Elisha, “Duba, wurin da muke taruwa ya kāsa mana.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, as far as the Jordan, and fetch from thence every man a single beam, and let us make us a place wherein we may sit. And he said—Go ye.
Bari mu je Urdun, inda kowannenmu zai saro itace; mu gina inda za mu zauna.” Sai ya ce musu, “Ku je.”
3 Then said one—Be content, we pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he said—I myself, will go.
Sai ɗayansu ya ce, “Ba za ka zo tare da bayinka ba?” Sai Elisha ya ce “Zan zo.”
4 So he went with them, —and, when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
Ya kuma tafi tare da su. Suka tafi Urdun suka fara saran itatuwa.
5 And it came to pass, as one was felling a branch, that, the axe-head, fell into the water, so he made outcry and said—Alas! my lord, for, it, was borrowed!
Yayinda ɗayansu yake cikin saran itace, sai kan gatarin ya fāɗi a ruwa, sai ya ce, “Kash, ranka yă daɗe, kayan aro ne fa!”
6 And the man of God said—Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a piece of wood and cast it in thither, and the iron did swim.
Sai mutumin Allah ya ce, “Daidai ina ya fāɗa?” Da ya nuna masa wurin, sai Elisha ya yanka ɗan sanda ya jefa a wurin, ya sa kan gatarin ya taso sama.
7 And he said—Take it up to thee. So he put forth his hand, and took it.
Sai ya ce masa, “Ka ɗauko.” Sai mutumin ya miƙa hannu ya ɗauka.
8 Now, the king of Syria, was making war against Israel, —so he took counsel with his servants, saying—In such and such a place, shall be my encampment.
To, fa, sarkin Aram yana yaƙi da Isra’ila. Bayan ya tattauna da hafsoshinsa, sai ya ce, “Zan kafa sansanina a wurin kaza da kaza.”
9 The man of God, therefore, sent unto the king of Israel, saying—Beware of passing by this place, —for, thither, are the Syrians coming down.
Sai mutumin Allah ya aika wa sarkin Isra’ila cewa, “Ka yi hankali da wuce wuri kaza, domin Arameyawa za su gangara can.”
10 So the king of Israel sent unto the place whereof the man of God had spoken to him and warned him, and was on his guard there, —not once nor twice
Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya lura da inda mutumin Allah ya ambata. Sau da sau Elisha yakan yi wa sarki kashedi, don haka ya riƙa taka yi tsantsan a wuraren nan.
11 Then was the heart of the king of Syria disquieted concerning this thing, —and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not tell me, who of our men are for the king of Israel?
Wannan ya husata sarkin Aram. Ya kira hafsoshinsa ya tambaye su ya ce, “Ku faɗa mini, wane ne a cikinmu yake gefen sarkin Isra’ila?”
12 Then said one of his servants, None, my lord O king, —but, Elisha, the prophet, who is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words which thou speakest in thy bed-chamber.
Sai ɗaya daga cikin hafsoshinsa ya ce, “Babu waninmu, ranka yă daɗe; Elisha, annabin da yake a Isra’ila ne, yake faɗa wa sarkin Isra’ila dukan zancen da ka yi a ɗakinka.”
13 And he said—Go, and see where he is, that I may send and take him. And it was told him, saying—Lo! in Dothan.
Sai sarki ya ba da umarni ya ce, “Ku je ku tabbatar da inda yake don in aika mutane a kamo shi.” Sai ya sami rahoto cewa, “Yana a Dotan.”
14 Therefore sent he thither—horses and chariots, and a strong force, —and they came in by night, and encompassed the city.
Sai ya aika da dawakai da kekunan yaƙi da babban rukunin soja zuwa can. Suka bi dare, suka kewaye birnin.
15 And, when the attendant of the man of God arose early and went forth, lo! a force surrounding the city, with horses and chariots. Then said his young man unto him—Alas! my lord, what shall we do?
Sa’ad da bawan mutumin Allah ya farka ya kuma fita kashegari da sassafe, sai ga mayaƙa tare da dawakai da kekunan yaƙi sun kewaye birni. Sai bawan ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe! Me za mu yi?”
16 And he said—Do not fear, —for, more, are, they who are with us, than, they who are with them.
Sai annabin ya ce, “Kada ka ji tsoro, waɗanda suke tare da mu sun fi waɗanda suke tare da su.”
17 Then prayed Elisha, and said, O Yahweh! open, I beseech thee, his eyes, that he may see. And Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and lo! the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, round about Elisha.
Sa’an nan Elisha ya yi addu’a ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, ka buɗe idanunsa yă gani!” Sai Ubangiji ya buɗe idanun bawan, ya duba, ya ga tuddai cike da dawakai da keken yaƙin wuta kewaye da Elisha.
18 And, when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto Yahweh, and said—Smite, I beseech thee, this people, with sudden blindness. And he smote them with sudden blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
Yayinda abokan gāba suka gangaro wajensa, sai Elisha ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ka sa mutanen nan su zama makafi.” Sai Ubangiji ya buge su da makanta kamar yadda Elisha ya roƙa.
19 Then Elisha said unto them—This, is not the way, neither is, this, the city, follow me, that I may lead you unto the man, whom ye would secure! So he led them to Samaria.
Elisha ya ce musu, “Wannan ba ita ce hanyar ba, ba kuma gari ke nan ba, ku bi ni, zan kuwa kai ku wurin mutumin da kuke nema!” Sai ya kai su Samariya.
20 And it came to pass, when they had entered Samaria, that Elisha said, O Yahweh! open the eyes of these men, that they may see! And Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw, and lo! they were in the midst of Samaria!
Bayan suka shiga birnin, sai Elisha ya ce, “Ubangiji, ka buɗe idanun mutanen nan don su gani.” Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya buɗe idanunsu suka ga kansu a tsakiyar Samariya.
21 Then said the king of Israel unto Elisha, when he saw them, —Shall I smite—shall I smite, my father?
Da sarkin Isra’ila ya gan su, sai ya tambayi Elisha ya ce, “In kashe su ne, mahaifina? In kashe su?”
22 And he said—Thou shalt not smite. Them whom thou hadst taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow, wouldst, thou, have been smiting? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go their way unto their lord.
Elisha ya ce, “Kada ka kashe su. Za ka kashe mutanen da ka kame da takobi ko bakanka? Ka ba su abinci da ruwa su ci, su sha, sa’an nan su koma wurin maigidansu.”
23 And he made for them a great feast, and, when they had eaten and drunk, he let them go, and they went their way unto their lord. So then, troops of Syrians came again, no more, into the land of Israel.
Saboda haka aka shirya musu babban liyafa, bayan sun ci, suka kuma sha, sai ya tura su zuwa wurin maigidansu. Ta haka’yan harin Aram suka daina kai hari a yankin Isra’ila.
24 But it came to pass, after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered together all his host, —and came up and laid siege against Samaria.
Bayan wani lokaci, Ben-Hadad sarkin Aram ya tattara dukan rundunarsa, ya je ya kewaye Samariya da yaƙi.
25 And there came to be, a great famine, in Samaria, and lo! they continued the siege against it, —until an ass’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and one pint of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
Aka yi babban yunwa a cikin birnin. Saboda daɗewar wannan kewayewar da aka yi wa birnin, sai yunwa ta ɓarke a birnin, har ana sayar da kan jaki a kan shekel tamanin, kashin kurciya kuma a kan shekel biyar.
26 And so it was that, as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman, made outcry unto him, saying—Save, my lord, O king!
Yayinda sarkin Isra’ila yake wucewa kusa da katanga, sai wata mace ta yi masa kuka ta ce, “Ka taimake ni, ranka yă daɗe, sarki!”
27 And he said—If Yahweh do not save thee, whence should I save thee? out of the threshing-floor or out of the wine-press?
Sai sarki ya amsa ya ce, “In Ubangiji bai taimake ki ba, me zan iya yi? Ina da hatsi ko ruwan inabin da zan ba ki ne?”
28 And the king said to her—What aileth thee? And she said—This woman, said unto me—Give thy son, that we may eat him, to-day, and, my son, will we eat to-morrow.
Sa’an nan ya tambaye ta ya ce, “Me ya faru?” Sai ta amsa ta ce, “Wannan mace ta ce mini, ‘Kawo ɗanki mu ci yau, gobe kuwa mu ci ɗana.’
29 So we cooked my son, and did eat him, —and I said unto her, on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; But she had hid her son.
Saboda haka muka dafa ɗana muka ci. Kashegari na ce mata, ‘Kawo ɗanki mu ci,’ amma ta ɓoye shi.”
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes, while yet he was passing by upon the wall, —so the people looked, and lo! sackcloth upon his flesh, within.
Da sarki ya ji maganar macen sai ya yage rigunansa. Sa’ad da sarki yake wucewa a kan katangar birnin, sai mutane suka gan yana saye da rigar makoki a ciki.
31 And he said—So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, —if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remain on him, to-day!
Ya ce, “Bari Allah yă yi mini hukunci mai tsanani har ma fiye da haka, idan ban cire kan Elisha ɗan Shafat yau ba!”
32 Now, Elisha, being seated in his house, and, the elders, seated with him, —when he had sent a man from before him, ere yet the messenger could come in unto him, he himself, said unto the elders—Do ye see how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? See! when the messenger is coming in, close ye the door, and press him back with the door, is not the sound of his lord’s feet behind him?
To, Elisha yana zaune a cikin gidansa, dattawa kuwa suna zaune tare da shi. Sai sarki ya aiki ɗan aika yă ci gaba, amma kafin ɗan aikan yă isa, Elisha ya ce wa dattawan, “Kun gani ko? Wannan mai kisa ya aiko a cire mini kai! To, idan ɗan aikan ya iso, sai ku rufe ƙofar da ƙarfi, ku bar shi a waje. Ba da jimawa ba, maigidansa zai bi bayansa?”
33 While yet he was speaking with them, lo! the messenger, coming down unto him, —and he said, —Lo! this, is a calamity from Yahweh, why should I wait for Yahweh, any longer?
Yana magana da su ke nan, sai ga ɗan aikan ya gangaro wajensa. Sarki kuma ya ce, “Wannan bala’in daga wurin Ubangiji ya fito. Don me zan sa zuciya ga Ubangiji kuma?”
