1 Sarakuna 13
1 Bisa ga umarnin Ubangiji, sai wani mutumin Allah ya zo daga Yahuda zuwa Betel, yayinda Yerobowam yake tsaye kusa da bagade don yă miƙa hadaya.
Suddenly, as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar to burn incense, there came a man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD.
2 Sai mutumin Allah ya tā da murya a kan bagade bisa ga umarnin Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya bagade, bagade! Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Za a haifi ɗa mai suna Yosiya wa gidan Dawuda. A kanka zai miƙa firistoci na masujadai kan tuddai masu miƙa hadayu a nan, za a kuma ƙone ƙasusuwan mutane a kanka.’”
And he cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD, “O altar, O altar, this is what the LORD says: ‘A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David, and upon you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you, and human bones will be burned upon you.’”
3 A wannan rana mutumin Allah ya ba da alama, “Ga alamar da Ubangiji ya furta. Wannan bagade zai tsage yă rabu kashi biyu, tokar da yake a kansa za tă zuba a ƙasa.”
That day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “The LORD has spoken this sign: ‘Surely the altar will be split apart, and the ashes upon it will be poured out.’”
4 Sa’ad da Yerobowam ya ji abin da mutumin Allah ya tā da murya ya faɗa game da bagaden Betel, sai ya miƙa hannunsa daga bagaden ya ce, “Ku kama shi!” Amma sai hannun da ya miƙa ya yanƙwane, har bai iya janye shi ba.
Now when King Jeroboam, who was at the altar in Bethel, heard the word that the man of God had cried out against it, he stretched out his hand and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward him withered, so that he could not pull it back.
5 Haka ma, bagaden ya rabu, tokarsa kuma ya zuba, bisa ga alamar da mutumin Allah ya bayar, ta wurin kalmar Ubangiji.
And the altar was split apart, and the ashes poured out, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
6 Sai sarki ya ce wa mutumin Allah, “Ka roƙi Ubangiji Allahnka, ka kuma yi addu’a domina don hannuna ya warke.” Saboda haka mutumin Allah ya yi roƙo ga Ubangiji, hannun sarki kuwa ya warke, ya kuma zama kamar yadda yake a dā.
Then the king responded to the man of God, “Intercede with the LORD your God and pray that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him as it was before.
7 Sai sarki ya ce wa mutumin Allah, “Zo gida tare da ni, ka sami wani abu ka ci, zan kuwa yi maka kyauta.”
Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
8 Amma mutumin Allah ya amsa wa sarki, “Ko da za ka ba rabin mallakarka, ba zan tafi tare da kai ba, ba kuwa zan ci abinci, ko in sha ruwa a can ba.
But the man of God replied, “If you were to give me half your possessions, I still would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.
9 Gama an umarce ni ta wurin kalmar Ubangiji, aka ce, ‘Kada ka ci abinci, ko ka sha ruwa, ko ka koma ta hanyar da ka zo.’”
For this is what I was commanded by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’”
10 Saboda haka ya ɗauki wata hanya, bai kuwa koma ta hanyar da ya zo Betel ba.
So the man of God went another way and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.
11 To, fa, akwai wani tsohon annabi yana zama a Betel, wanda’ya’yansa suka zo suka faɗa masa dukan abin da mutumin Allah ya yi a can, a ranar. Suka kuma faɗa wa mahaifinsu abin da ya faɗa wa sarki.
Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words that the man had spoken to the king.
12 Mahaifinsu ya tambaye su ya ce, “Wace hanya ce ya bi?” Sai’ya’yansa suka nuna masa hanyar da mutumin Allah daga Yahuda ya bi.
“Which way did he go?” their father asked. And his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God, who had come from Judah.
13 Sai ya ce wa’ya’yansa, “Ku yi wa jakina shimfiɗa.” Da suka yi wa jakin shimfiɗa, sai ya hau.
So the prophet said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” Then they saddled the donkey for him, and he mounted it
14 Ya bi bayan mutumin Allah. Ya same shi yana zama a ƙarƙashin itace oak, sai ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Kai ne mutumin Allah wanda ya zo daga Yahuda?” Ya amsa, “Ni ne.”
and went after the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “I am,” he replied.
15 Saboda haka annabin ya ce masa, “Zo gida tare da ni ka ci abinci.”
So the prophet said to the man of God, “Come home with me and eat some bread.”
16 Mutumin Allah ya ce, “Ba zan koma tare da kai ba, ko in ci abinci, ko in sha ruwa tare da kai a can ba.
But the man replied, “I cannot return with you or eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
17 An faɗa mini ta wurin maganar Ubangiji, ‘Kada ka ci abinci, ko ka sha ruwa a can, ko ka koma ta hanyar da ka zo.’”
For I have been told by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’”
18 Sai annabin ya amsa, “Ni ma annabi ne, kamar ka. Kuma mala’ika ya ce mini ta wurin kalmar Ubangiji, ‘Dawo da shi zuwa gidanka saboda yă ci abinci, yă kuma sha ruwa.’” (Amma yana masa ƙarya ne.)
Then the prophet replied, “I too am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.’” The old prophet was lying to him,
19 Sai mutumin Allah ya koma tare da shi ya kuma ci ya sha a gidansa.
but the man of God went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Yayinda suke zaune a teburi, sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa tsohon annabin da ya dawo da mutumin Allah.
While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back,
21 Sai tsohon annabin ya tā da murya wa mutumin Allah wanda ya zo daga Yahuda, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ka ƙazantar da maganar Ubangiji, ba ka kuma kiyaye umarnin Ubangiji Allahnka ba.
and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have defied the word of the LORD and have not kept the commandment that the LORD your God gave you,
22 Ka dawo ka ci abinci, ka kuma sha ruwa a wurin da na faɗa maka kada ka ci, ko ka sha. Saboda haka ba za a binne jikinka a kabarin kakanninka ba.’”
but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach the tomb of your fathers.’”
23 Sa’ad da mutumin Allah ya gama ci da sha, sai annabin da ya dawo da shi ya yi wa jakin mutumin Allah shimfiɗa.
And after the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.
24 Yayinda yake kan hanyarsa, sai wani zaki ya sadu da shi ya kashe shi, aka kuma jefar da jikinsa a kan hanya, jakin da zakin suka tsaya kusa da gawar.
As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
25 Waɗansu mutane masu wucewa suka ga an yar da gawar a can, zaki yana tsaye kusa da gawar, sai suka tafi suka ba da labarin a birni inda tsohon annabin nan yake zama.
And there were men passing by who saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported this in the city where the old prophet lived.
26 Sa’ad da annabin da ya dawo da mutumin Allah ya ji, sai ya ce, “Mutumin Allah ne, wanda ya ƙazantar da maganar Ubangiji. Ubangiji ya bashe shi ga zaki, wanda ya yayyage shi ya kuma kashe shi, kamar yadda maganar Ubangiji ta gargaɗe shi.”
When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard this, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the command of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to him.”
27 Sai annabin ya ce wa’ya’yansa, “Ku yi wa jakina shimfiɗa.” Sai suka yi.
Then the old prophet instructed his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it,
28 Sai ya fita ya sami an jefar da gawar a hanya, jakin da zakin suna tsaye kusa da shi. Zakin bai ci gawar ko yă yayyage jakin ba.
and he went and found the body lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or mauled the donkey.
29 Saboda haka annabin ya ɗauki gawar mutumin Allah, ya shimfiɗa shi a kan jaki, ya koma da shi cikin birninsa don yă yi makokinsa yă kuma binne shi.
So the old prophet lifted up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own city to mourn for him and bury him.
30 Sai ya kwantar da gawar a kabarinsa, suka yi makoki a kansa, ya kuma ce, “Ayya, abokina!”
Then he laid the body in his own tomb, and they lamented over him, “Oh, my brother!”
31 Bayan an binne shi, sai ya ce wa’ya’yansa, “Sa’ad da na mutu, ku binne ni a kabarin da aka binne mutumin Allah; ku kwantar da ƙasusuwana kusa da ƙasusuwansa.
After he had buried him, the prophet said to his sons, “When I die, you must bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones,
32 Gama annabcin da ya yi ta maganar Ubangiji gāba da bagaden da yake cikin Betel da kuma wuraren sujada a tuddan da suke a biranen Samariya, ba shakka zai cika.”
for the message that he cried out by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria will surely come to pass.”
33 Har ma bayan wannan, Yerobowam bai canja daga mugayen hanyoyinsa ba, amma ya ƙara naɗa firistoci domin masujadai da suke kan tuddai daga kowane irin mutane. Duk wanda ya so yă zama firist sai yă naɗa shi don aiki a masujadai da suke kan tuddai.
Even after these events, Jeroboam did not repent of his evil ways, but again he appointed priests for the high places from every class of people. He ordained anyone who desired to be a priest of the high places.
34 Wannan ne zunubin gidan Yerobowam da ya kai ga fāɗuwarsa da kuma hallakarsa daga fuskar duniya.
And this was the sin of the house of Jeroboam that led to its extermination and destruction from the face of the earth.
