1 Sarakuna 19
1 Ahab fa ya faɗa wa Yezebel kome da Iliya ya yi, da yadda ya karkashe dukan annabawan da takobi.
And Achab told Izebel all that Elijah had done, and withal that he had slain 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.”
Then sent Izebel a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So may the gods do to me, and may they thus continue, if about this time tomorrow I do not render thy life as the life of any 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.
And when he saw this, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba', which belongeth to Judah, and he left his young man 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.”
But he himself went forward into the wilderness a day's journey, and he came and sat down under a certain broom-bush: and he requested for himself to die; and he said, It is enough, now, O Lord, take away my soul; for I am not 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 laid himself down and slept under a certain broom-bush, and, behold then, an angel was touching him, and said unto him, Arise, 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.
And he looked about, and, behold, there was at his head a cake baked on coals, and a cruise of water; and he ate and drank, and laid himself down again.
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 came again, the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; because the journey is yet far for thee.
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 arose, and ate and drank; and he went on the strength of that eating forty days and forty nights unto the mount 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 he came there unto a cave, and remained there over night: and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and said unto him, What dost thou 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 said, I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought my life, to 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, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and, behold, the Lord passed by, and a wind, great and strong, rending the mountains, and breaking in pieces the rocks [went] before the Lord; but not in the wind was the Lord: and after the wind was an earthquake: but not in the earthquake was the Lord;
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 was a fire; but not in the fire was the Lord; and after the fire was the sound of a soft whisper.
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 it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he concealed his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave: and, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What dost thou here, Elijah?
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.”
And he said, I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thy altars have they thrown down, and thy prophets have they slain with the sword: and I am left by myself alone, and they have sought my life, to 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 unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and go, anoint Chazael to be 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 Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisha' the son of Shaphat of Abel-mecholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy stead.
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 it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Chazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha' slay.
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 in Israel seven thousand, all the knees which have not been bent unto Ba'al, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
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.
And he departed thence, and found Elisha' the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing; twelve yoke of oxen were before him, and he was with the twelfth: and Elijah passed up to him, and cast his mantle toward 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 he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss but my father and my mother, and I will [then] follow thee: and he said unto him, Go, return; for what have I done to thee?
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.
And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and with the instruments of the oxen he boiled the flesh for them, and he gave it unto the people, and they did eat; and then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
