1 Kings 20
1 Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and besieged Samaria, and fought 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 He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Ben Hadad says,
Ya aika da’yan aika zuwa cikin birnin wurin Ahab sarkin Isra’ila yana cewa, “Ga abin da Ben-Hadad ya ce,
3 ‘Your silver and your gold are mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.’”
‘Azurfarka da zinariyarka nawa ne. Mafi kyau cikin matanka da’ya’yanka nawa ne.’”
4 The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, 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 The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says, ‘I sent indeed to you, saying, “You shall deliver me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your 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 but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. Whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hand, and take 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, “Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn’t deny him.”
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 All the elders and all the people said to him, “Don’t listen, and don’t consent.”
Dattawa da dukan mutane suka amsa, suka ce, “Kada ka saurare shi ko ka yarda da abin da yake bukata.”
9 Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” The messengers departed and brought him back the message.
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 Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who 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 The king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Don’t let him who puts on his armour brag like he who takes 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 When Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, “Prepare to attack!” So they prepared to attack 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 Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will 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 Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “The LORD says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.”
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 mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered 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 They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who 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 The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out from 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 He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if 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 went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
Sojojin nan matasa na shugabannin yankuna suka taka suka fita daga birnin da mayaƙa a bayansu.
20 They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with 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 The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed 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 The prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and plan what you must do, for at the return of the year, the king of Syria will come up against you.”
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 The servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will 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 Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
Ka yi wannan. Ka cire dukan sarakuna daga matsayinsu ka sa waɗansu shugabanni a maimakonsu.
25 Muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.” He listened 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 At the return of the year, Ben Hadad mustered 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 The children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and went against them. The children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats, 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 A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you 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 They encamped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians 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 the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner room.
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 His servants said to him, “See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your 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 put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” He said, “Is he still 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 observed diligently and hurried to take this phrase; and they said, “Your brother Ben Hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came out 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 Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” “I”, said Ahab, “will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
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 A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the LORD’s word, “Please strike me!” The man refused to strike 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 he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him and killed 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, “Please strike me.” The man struck him and 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 his headband over his eyes.
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 As the king passed by, he cried to the king, and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall 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 As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgement be. You yourself have 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 He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognised that he was one 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 He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of 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 The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
Cike da fushi, sarkin Isra’ila ya tafi fadarsa a Samariya.
