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.
The Lord ordered a man of God from Judah to go to Bethel. He arrived just as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar about to present a burnt offering.
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.’”
He shouted out the Lord's condemnation of the altar: “Altar, altar, this is what the Lord says. A son will be born to the house of David. His name will be Josiah, and on you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn offerings on you, and human bones will be burned on 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.”
The same day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “This is the sign to prove that the Lord has spoken. Look! The altar will be split apart, and the ashes on it will spill 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.
When King Jeroboam heard the condemnation the man of God had shouted out against the altar in Bethel, he pointed his hand at him and said, “Arrest him!” But the hand the king had pointed at him had become paralyzed and he couldn't draw it back.
5 Haka ma, bagaden ya rabu, tokarsa kuma ya zuba, bisa ga alamar da mutumin Allah ya bayar, ta wurin kalmar Ubangiji.
The altar split apart, and the ashes spilled out from it, fulfilling the sign that the man of God had given from 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 said to the man of God, “Please plead with the Lord your God—pray for me that I may have my hand back!” The man of God pleaded with the Lord, and the king was given back the use of his hand 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 to my home and have a meal so I can give you a present.”
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 told the king, “Even if you gave me half of everything you own, I still wouldn't go with you. In fact I refuse to eat or drink anything 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.’”
The Lord ordered me not to eat or drink anything, and not to return by the way I came.”
10 Saboda haka ya ɗauki wata hanya, bai kuwa koma ta hanyar da ya zo Betel ba.
So he went a different way—he did not return 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.
It so happened that an old prophet lived in Bethel. His sons came and told him everything the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father what the man had said 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 them. So his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God from Judah.
13 Sai ya ce wa’ya’yansa, “Ku yi wa jakina shimfiɗa.” Da suka yi wa jakin shimfiɗa, sai ya hau.
“Saddle up a donkey for me,” he told his sons. They saddled up a donkey and he got on.
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.”
He rode after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” he asked him. “Yes I am,” the man replied.
15 Saboda haka annabin ya ce masa, “Zo gida tare da ni ka ci abinci.”
“Come home with me and have something to eat,” he told him.
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.
“I can't turn around and go with you, and I won't eat or drink with you in this place,” the man of God replied.
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.’”
“The Lord ordered me, saying ‘You must not eat or drink anything 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.)
But the old prophet told him, “I am also a prophet, just like you. An angel told me God said, ‘Take him home with you so that he can have something to eat and drink’” But he was lying to him.
19 Sai mutumin Allah ya koma tare da shi ya kuma ci ya sha a gidansa.
So the man of God went back with him, and ate and drank in his house.
20 Yayinda suke zaune a teburi, sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo wa tsohon annabin da ya dawo da mutumin Allah.
As they were sitting at the table, a message from 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.
He called out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord and have not followed the orders 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.’”
instead you went back and ate and drank in the place where he told you not to, your body will not be buried in 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.
After the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled his own 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.
But as he went on his way a lion came across him on the road and killed him. His body was left lying in the road, with both 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.
Some passers-by saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, so they went and let people know about it in the town 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 old prophet who had led the other astray heard what had happened, he said, “It's the man of God who disobeyed the Lord's orders. That's why the Lord put him in the path of the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, just as the Lord told him would happen.”
27 Sai annabin ya ce wa’ya’yansa, “Ku yi wa jakina shimfiɗa.” Sai suka yi.
The prophet told his sons, “Saddle up a donkey for me.” So they saddled a donkey,
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. It was still lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or attacked 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.
The prophet picked up the body of the man of God, placed it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own town to mourn over him and bury him.
30 Sai ya kwantar da gawar a kabarinsa, suka yi makoki a kansa, ya kuma ce, “Ayya, abokina!”
He laid the body in his own tomb, and they mourned over him, crying, “My poor 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'd buried him, he told his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave 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 from the Lord that he gave in condemnation against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places in the towns of Samaria, will definitely happen.”
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.
But even after all this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways. He went on choosing priests from all kinds of people. He appointed anyone who wanted 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.
This was because of this sin that the house of Jeroboam was wiped out, completely destroyed from the face of the earth.
