< 1 Kings 20 >
1 And Ben-hadad the king of Syria collected all his army: and [there were] thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
Ben-Hadad sarkin Aram kuwa ya tattara mayaƙansa gaba ɗaya. Sarakuna talatin da biyu suka tafi tare da shi haɗe da dawakansu da kekunan yaƙinsu. Ya haura ya yi wa Samariya kwanto, ya kuma yaƙe ta.
2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said to him, Thus saith Ben-hadad,
Ya aika da’yan aika zuwa cikin birnin wurin Ahab sarkin Isra’ila yana cewa, “Ga abin da Ben-Hadad ya ce,
3 Thy silver and thy gold [is] mine; thy wives also and thy children, [even] the most comely, [are] mine.
‘Azurfarka da zinariyarka nawa ne. Mafi kyau cikin matanka da’ya’yanka nawa ne.’”
4 And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I [am] thine, and all that I have.
Sarkin Isra’ila ya amsa, ya ce, “Kamar dai yadda ka faɗa, ranka yă daɗe, sarki. Ni da dukan abin da nake da shi, naka ne.”
5 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, Although I have sent to thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver to me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
Sai’yan aikan suka sāke dawo suka ce, “Ga abin da Ben-Hadad ya ce, ‘Na aika ka ba da azurfarka da zinariyarka, matanka da kuma’ya’yanka.
6 Yet I will send my servants to thee to-morrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, [that] whatever is pleasant in thy eyes, they shall take [it] in their hand, and carry [it] away.
Amma war haka gobe zan aika shugabannina su bincika fadanka da kuma gidajen shugabanninka. Za su kwashe dukan abubuwan da kake ganin darajarsu su tafi.’”
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this [man] seeketh mischief: for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I denied him not.
Sarkin Isra’ila ya tattara dukan dattawan ƙasar, ya ce musu, “Ku duba fa, wannan mutum yana neman tsokana! Sa’ad da ya aika in ba shi matana da’ya’yana, azurfana da zinariyana, ban hana masa ba.”
8 And all the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not [to him], nor consent.
Dattawa da dukan mutane suka amsa, suka ce, “Kada ka saurare shi ko ka yarda da abin da yake bukata.”
9 Wherefore he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first, I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
Saboda haka ya ba wa’yan aikan Ben-Hadad amsa, ya ce, “Ku faɗa wa ranka yă daɗe, sarki, ‘Bawanka zai yi dukan abin da ka bukaci da farko, amma wannan na ƙarshe ba zan iya yin ba.’” Suka tafi suka kai amsar wa Ben-Hadad.
10 And Ben-hadad sent to him, and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
Sai Ben-Hadad ya aika da wani saƙo wa Ahab, ya ce, “Bari alloli su yi da ni yadda suke so, su kuma yi haka da tsanani, in isashen ƙura ta rage a Samariya da za a iya ba wa mutanena a tafin hannu.”
11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell [him], Let not him that girdeth on [his harness] boast himself as he that putteth it off.
Sarki Isra’ila ya amsa, ya ce, “Ku faɗa masa, ‘Wanda ya sa kayan yaƙinsa bai kamata yă yi fariya ba sai ya tuɓe su.’”
12 And it came to pass, when [Ben-hadad] heard this message as he [was] drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, Set [yourselves in array]. And they set [themselves in array] against the city.
Ben-Hadad ya ji wannan saƙo yayinda shi da sarakunan suke sha a cikin tentunansu, sai ya umarce mutanensa, ya ce, “Ku shirya don yaƙi.” Saboda haka suka shirya don su yaƙi birnin.
13 And behold, there came a prophet to Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD.
Ana cikin haka sai wani annabi ya zo wurin Ahab sarkin Isra’ila ya sanar masa cewa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ka ga wannan ɗumbun mayaƙa? Zan ba da su cikin hannunka a yau, sa’an nan za ka san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.’”
14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, [Even] by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
Ahab ya ce, “Amma wa zai yi haka?” Annabin ya amsa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Sojoji matasa na shugabannin yankuna za su yi haka.’” Ya tambaya, “Wa kuma zai fara yaƙin?” Annabin ya amsa, “Kai za ka fara.”
15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, [even] all the children of Israel, [being] seven thousand.
Saboda haka Ahab ya kira sojoji matasa na shugabannin yankuna, mutum 232. Sa’an nan ya tattara sauran Isra’ilawa su 7,000 gaba ɗaya.
16 And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad [was] drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
Suka fita da tsakar rana yayinda Ben-Hadad tare da sarakuna 32 masu goyon bayansa suke cikin tentunansu suna sha, suna buguwa.
17 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
Sojojin nan matasa na shugabannin yankuna suka fara fita. Ben-Hadad kuwa ya riga ya aiki’yan leƙen asiri, waɗanda suka ce, “Mutane suna zuwa daga Samariya.”
18 And he said, Whether they have come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they have come out for war, take them alive.
Ya ce, “In sun fito don salama, ku kamo su da rai; in sun fito yaƙi ne, ku kamo su da rai.”
19 So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
Sojojin nan matasa na shugabannin yankuna suka taka suka fita daga birnin da mayaƙa a bayansu.
20 And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the horsemen.
Kowannensu kuwa ya buge abokin gābansa. Ganin wannan, sai Arameyawa suka gudu, Isra’ilawa suna bi. Amma Ben-Hadad na Aram ya tsere a kan dokinsa tare da waɗansu mahayan dawakansa.
21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
Sarki Isra’ila ya bi, ya kuma sha ƙarfin dawakan da keken yaƙin, ya kashe Arameyawa da yawa.
22 And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
Daga baya, annabin ya zo wurin sarkin Isra’ila ya ce, “Ka ƙarfafa matsayinka ka kuma ga abin da za a yi, gama a bazara mai zuwa sarkin Aram zai sāke kawo yaƙi.”
23 And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their gods [are] gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
Ana cikin haka, shugabannin sarkin Aram suka ba shi shawara, “Allolinsu, allolin tuddai ne. Shi ya sa suka fi mu ƙarfi. Amma in mun yaƙe su a fili, tabbatacce za mu fi su ƙarfi.
24 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
Ka yi wannan. Ka cire dukan sarakuna daga matsayinsu ka sa waɗansu shugabanni a maimakonsu.
25 And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, [and] surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.
Dole kuma ka tā da waɗansu mayaƙa kamar waɗanda ka rasa, doki don doki, keken yaƙi kuma don keken yaƙi, saboda mu iya yaƙe Isra’ila a fili. Ta haka tabbatacce za mu fi ƙarfinsu.” Sai ya yarda da su, ya kuma yi haka.
26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
Bazara na biye Ben-Hadad ya tattara Arameyawa, ya haura zuwa Afek don yă yaƙi Isra’ila.
27 And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
Sa’ad da aka tattara Isra’ilawa, aka kuma ba su guzuri, sai suka taka suka fita don su sadu da Arameyawa. Isra’ilawa suka kafa sansani ɗaura da su kamar ƙananan garkuna biyu na awaki, yayinda Arameyawa suka rufe dukan jejin.
28 And there came a man of God, and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD [is] God of the hills, but he [is] not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.
Sai mutumin Allah ya zo ya ce wa sarkin Isra’ila, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Domin Arameyawa suna tsammani Ubangiji allahn tuddai ne, ba allahn kwari ba, zan ba da wannan ɗumbun mayaƙa a hannuwanka, za ka kuwa sani ni ne Ubangiji.’”
29 And they encamped one over against the other seven days. And [so] it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
Kwana bakwai suka yi sansani ɗaura da juna, a rana ta bakwai sai yaƙi ya haɗu. Isra’ilawa suka kashe sojojin kafa na Arameyawa dubu ɗari a rana ɗaya.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and [there] a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men [that were] left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
Sauransu suka tsere zuwa birnin Afek, inda katangar ya fāɗa a kan mutum dubu ashirin da bakwai. Sai Ben-Hadad ya gudu zuwa birni ya ɓuya a ciki cikin ɗaki.
31 And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel [are] merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: it may be he will save thy life.
Fadawansa suka je suka ce masa, “Mun ji an ce sarakunan Isra’ila masu jinƙai ne, bari mu sa tufafin makoki, mu ɗaura igiyoyi a wuyanmu, sa’an nan mu tafi wurin sarkin Isra’ila, wataƙila zai bar ka da rai.”
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and [put] ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, [Is] he yet alive? he [is] my brother.
Saye da tufafin makoki kewaye a gindinsu, da kuma igiyoyi kewaye da kawunansu, suka tafi wurin sarkin Isra’ila, suka ce, “Bawanka Ben-Hadad ya ce, ‘Ina roƙonka bari in rayu.’” Sarki ya amsa, “Har yanzu yana da rai? Shi ɗan’uwana ne.”
33 Now the men diligently observed whether [any thing would come] from him, and did hastily catch [it]: and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
Da ma abin da fadawan suke so su ji ke nan, sai suka yi sauri, suka karɓi maganar a bakinsa, suka ce, “I, ɗan’uwanka, Ben-hadad!” Sarki ya ce, “Ku je ku kawo shi.” Da Ben-Hadad ya fita, sai Ahab ya sa aka kawo shi cikin keken yaƙinsa.
34 And [Ben-hadad] said to him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then [said Ahab], I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
Ben-Hadad ya ce, “Zan mayar da biranen mahaifinka da na ƙwace daga mahaifinka. Za ka iya sa wurin kasuwarka a cikin Damaskus, kamar yadda mahaifinka ya yi a Samariya.” Ahab ya ce, “Bisa wannan yarjejjeniya zan sake ka.” Saboda haka ya yi yarjejjeniya da shi, sai ya bar shi ya tafi.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
Ta wurin maganar Ubangiji, ɗaya daga cikin’ya’ya maza na annabawa ya ce wa abokinsa, “Ka buge ni da makaminka,” amma mutumin ya ƙi.
36 Then said he to him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou hast departed from me, a lion will slay thee. And as soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
Sai annabin ya ce, “Domin ba ka yi biyayya da Ubangiji ba, da zarar ka bar ni zaki zai kashe ka.” Daga baya mutumin ya tafi, zaki ya same shi, ya kuma kashe shi.
37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded [him].
Annabin ya sami wani mutum ya ce, “Ka buge ni, ina roƙonka.” Sai mutumin ya buge shi, ya ji masa ciwo.
38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
Sa’an nan annabin ya tafi ya tsaya a bakin hanya yana jiran sarki. Ya ɓad da kamanni da ƙyalle a kansa. Ƙyallen ya sauka zuwa bisa idanunsa.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried to the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he shall be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
Yayinda sarki yake wucewa, sai annabin ya yi kira da ƙarfi gare shi ya ce “Ni bawanka na tafi yaƙi, sai ga wani ya kawo mini wani mutum, ya ce, ‘Ka riƙe wannan mutum, kada ka bar shi yă kuɓuta ko da ƙaƙa, idan ka bari ya kuɓuta, a bakin ranka, ko kuwa ka biya talanti ɗaya na azurfa.’
40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So [shall] thy judgment [be]; thyself hast decided [it].
Yayinda bawanka yana fama, yana kai da kawowa, sai mutumin ya ɓace.” Sai sarkin Isra’ila ya ce, “Hukuncinka ke nan, ka furta shi da kanka.”
41 And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he [was] of the prophets.
Sai annabin ya cire ƙyallen da sauri daga kansa, da ya rufe idanunsa, sarkin Isra’ila kuwa ya gane shi a matsayi ɗaya daga cikin annabawa.
42 And he said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of [thy] hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
Sai ya ce wa sarki, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ka saki mutumin da na ƙudura yă mutu. Saboda haka ranka zai zama a maimakon ransa, mutanenka a maimakon mutanensa.’”
43 And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
Cike da fushi, sarkin Isra’ila ya tafi fadarsa a Samariya.
