1 Sarakuna 19
1 Ahab fa ya faɗa wa Yezebel kome da Iliya ya yi, da yadda ya karkashe dukan annabawan da takobi.
Then Ahab reported to Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 Saboda haka Yezebel ta aika da ɗan aika wa Iliya yă faɗa masa, “Bari alloli su hukunta ni da tsanani, in war haka gobe ban mai da ranka kamar na ɗaya daga cikin annabawan Ba’al ba.”
And so Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “May the gods do these things, and may they add these other things, if by this hour tomorrow I will not have made your life like the life of one of them.”
3 Iliya ya ji tsoro, ya gudu don yă ceci ransa. Sa’ad da ya kai Beyersheba a Yahuda, sai ya bar bawansa a can.
Therefore, Elijah was afraid. And rising up, he went away to wherever his will would carry him. And he arrived in Beersheba of Judah. And he dismissed his servant there.
4 Shi kuma ya yi tafiya yini guda zuwa cikin hamada. Ya zo wurin wani itacen tsintsiya, ya zauna a ƙarƙashinsa, ya roƙa yă mutu. Ya ce, “Ya ishe ni haka, Ubangiji, ka ɗauki raina; ban fi kakannina ba.”
And he continued on, into the desert, for one day’s journey. And when he had arrived, and was sitting under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die. And he said: “It is enough for me, O Lord. Take my soul. For I am no better than my fathers.”
5 Sa’an nan ya kwanta a ƙarƙashin itacen ya yi barci. Farat ɗaya sai wani mala’ika ya taɓa shi, ya ce, “Tashi ka ci abinci.”
And he stretched himself out, and he slept deeply in the shadow of the juniper tree. And behold, an Angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him, “Rise up and eat.”
6 Ya duba kewaye, sai ga wainar burodi kusa da kansa a bisa garwashin wuta mai zafi, da kuma tulun ruwa. Ya ci, ya sha, sa’an nan ya sāke kwanta.
He looked, and behold, at his head was bread baked under ashes, and a container of water. Then he ate and drank, and again he slept deeply.
7 Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya sāke dawowa sau na biyu ya taɓa shi, ya ce, “Tashi ka ci abinci, gama tafiyar za tă yi maka yawa.”
And the Angel of the Lord returned a second time, and touched him, and said to him: “Rise up, eat. For a great journey again stands before you.”
8 Saboda haka ya tashi ya ci, ya kuma sha. Ta wurin ƙarfin da ya samu saboda wannan abinci, ya yi tafiya yini arba’in da dare arba’in, sai da ya kai Horeb, dutsen Allah.
And he when he had risen up, he ate and drank. And he walked by the strength of that food for forty days and forty nights, as far as the mountain of God, Horeb.
9 A can ya shiga kogo ya kwana. Sai maganar Ubangiji ta zo masa, ta ce, “Me kake yi a nan, Iliya?”
And when he had arrived there, he stayed in a cave. And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
10 Ya amsa, ya ce, “Ina kishi dominka Ubangiji, Allah Maɗaukaki. Isra’ilawa sun ƙi alkawarinka, suka rurrushe bagadanka, suka kuma kashe annabawanka da takobi. Ni ne kaɗai na rage, yanzu, ni ma suna ƙoƙari su kashe ni.”
And he responded: “I have been very zealous on behalf of the Lord, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant. They have torn down your altars. They have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone remain. And they are seeking my life, so that they may take it away.”
11 Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Fita ka tsaya a kan dutse a gaban Ubangiji, gama Ubangiji yana shirin wucewa.” Sai ga babbar iska mai ƙarfi ta tsage duwatsu, ta kuma ragargaza duwatsu a gaban Ubangiji, amma Ubangiji ba ya cikin iskar. Bayan iskar sai aka yi girgizar ƙasa, amma Ubangiji ba ya cikin girgizar ƙasa.
And he said to him, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by. And there was a great and strong wind, tearing apart the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord. But the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, there was an earthquake. But the Lord was not in the earthquake.
12 Bayan girgizar ƙasa, sai ga wuta, amma Ubangiji ba ya cikin wuta. Bayan wutar kuma sai ga wata’yar murya.
And after the earthquake, there was a fire. But the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, there was the whisper of a gentle breeze.
13 Sa’ad da Iliya ya ji ta, ya ja mayafinsa ya rufe fuskarsa, ya fita ya tsaya a bakin kogon. Sai ya ji murya ta ce masa, “Me kake yi a nan, Iliya?”
And when Elijah had heard it, he covered his face with his cloak, and going out, he stood at the entrance of the cave. And behold, there was a voice to him, saying: “What are you doing here, Elijah?” And he responded:
14 Ya amsa, ya ce, “Ina kishi dominka Ubangiji, Allah Maɗaukaki. Isra’ilawa sun ƙi alkawarinka, suka rurrushe bagadanka, suka kuma kashe annabawanka da takobi. Ni ne kaɗai na rage, yanzu, ni ma suna ƙoƙari su kashe ni.”
“I have been very zealous on behalf of the Lord, the God of hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken your covenant. They have torn down your altars. They have killed your prophets with the sword. I alone remain. And they are seeking my life, so that they may take it away.”
15 Sai Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Ka koma ta hanyar da ka zo, ka tafi Hamadan Damaskus. Sa’ad da ka kai can, ka shafe Hazayel yă zama sarki bisa Aram.
And the Lord said to him: “Go, and return on your way, through the desert, to Damascus. And when you have arrived there, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Syria.
16 Ka kuma shafe Yehu ɗan Nimshi yă zama sarkin Isra’ila, ka shafe Elisha ɗan Shafat daga Abel-Mehola yă gāje ka a matsayin annabi.
And you shall anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi, as king over Israel. But Elisha, the son of Shaphat, who is from Abelmeholah, you shall anoint to be a prophet in your place.
17 Yehu zai kashe duk wani wanda ya tsere wa takobin Hazayel, Elisha kuwa zai kashe duk wani wanda ya tsere wa takobin Yehu.
And this shall be: whoever will have escaped from the sword of Hazael, will be slain by Jehu. And whoever will have escaped from the sword of Jehu, will be put to death by Elisha.
18 Duk da haka zan bar mutane dubu bakwai na Isra’ila waɗanda ba su rusuna da gwiwansu wa Ba’al ba, ba su kuma sumbace shi da bakinsu ba.”
And I will leave for myself seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bent before Baal, and every mouth that has not adored him, kissing hands.”
19 Sai Iliya ya tafi daga can ya sami Elisha ɗan Shafat, yana noma da shanu goma sha biyu masu garman noma, shi kansa yana jan na goma sha biyun. Iliya ya tafi wurinsa ya jefa mayafinsa a kan Elisha.
Therefore, Elijah, setting out from there, found Elisha, the son of Shaphat, plowing with twelve yoke of oxen. And he himself was one of those who were plowing with the twelve yoke of oxen. And when Elijah had gone to him, he cast his mantle over him.
20 Sai Elisha ya bar shanun, ya ruga ya bi Iliya. Ya ce, “Bari in sumbace mahaifina da mahaifiyata, in yi musu bankwana, sa’an nan in zo in bi ka.” Iliya ya ce, “Koma! Me na yi maka?”
And immediately, leaving behind the oxen, he ran after Elijah. And he said, “I beg you to let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him: “Go, and turn back. For what was mine to do, I have done concerning you.”
21 Sai Elisha ya bar shi, ya koma, ya ɗauki shanunsa ya yayyanka. Ya ƙone kayan garman noman don yă dafa naman, ya kuma ba wa mutane naman, suka kuwa ci. Sa’an nan ya tashi, ya bi Iliya, ya kuma zama mai hidimarsa.
Then, turning back from him, he took a pair of oxen, and he slew them. And he cooked the flesh with the plow of the oxen. And he gave it to the people, and they ate. And rising up, he went and followed Elijah, and he ministered to him.
