1 Sarakuna 19
1 Ahab fa ya faɗa wa Yezebel kome da Iliya ya yi, da yadda ya karkashe dukan annabawan da takobi.
And Ahab told Jezebel, all that Elijah had done, —and withal, how 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 Jezebel a messenger unto Elijah, saying, —So, let the gods do, and, so, let them add, if, by this time to-morrow, I make not thy life as 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.
And, when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, —and left 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.”
But, he himself, went into the wilderness a day’s journey, and came and sat down under a certain shrub, —and asked for his life, that he might die, and said—Enough, now, O Yahweh! take away my life, for, no better, am, I, 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, as he lay, and slept, under a certain shrub, lo! a messenger, touching him, who said to him—Rise, 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.
So he looked about, and lo! at his head, a cake baked on hot stones, and a cruse of water, —and he did eat and drink, and then went back and lay down.
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 messenger of Yahweh came again a second time, and touched him, and said—Rise, eat, —because, too much for thee, is the journey.
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.
So he arose, and did eat and drink, —and journeyed, in the strength of that eating, 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 he entered, there, into a cave, and lodged there, —and lo! the word of Yahweh [came] unto him, and said to him, What doest 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—Very jealous, have I been, for Yahweh, God of hosts, because the sons of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thine altars, have they thrown down, thy prophets, also have they slain with the sword, —and, I alone, am left, and they have sought my life, to take it.
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 to-morrow, and stand in the mountain, before Yahweh. And lo! Yahweh, passing by, and a great and strong wind—rending the mountains, and breaking in pieces the crags, before Yahweh, Not, in the wind, was, Yahweh, —And, after the wind, an, earthquake, Not, in the earthquake, was, Yahweh;
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, a, fire, Not, in the fire, was, Yahweh, —And, after the fire, the voice of a gentle 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, he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went forth, and stood at the entrance of the cave, —and lo! unto him, a voice; and it said—What doest 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—Very jealous, have I been, for Yahweh, God of hosts, because the sons of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thine altars, have they thrown down, thy prophets also, have they slain with the sword, —and, I alone, am left, and they rove sought my life, to take it.
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 Yahweh said unto him, Go, return to thy way, towards the wilderness of Damascus, —and, when thou enterest, then shalt thou anoint Hazael 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 son of Minshi, shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel, —and, Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, 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.
Then shall it come to pass, that—him that escapeth the sword of Hazael, 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.”
Yet will I leave remaining in Israel, seven thousand, —all knees which have not bowed to Baal, and all mouths which have not kissed to 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.
So he departed from thence, and found Elisha son of Shaphat, as he was plowing, with twelve yoke of oxen before him, he being with the twelfth, —so Elijah crossed over unto him, and cast his mantle towards 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 my father and my mother, that I may follow thee. And he said unto him, —Go, turn back, 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.
So he turned back from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, and sacrificed them, and, with the implements of the oxen, boiled their flesh, and gave unto the people, and they did eat, —then he arose, and followed Elijah, and ministered unto him.
