UBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya wasebutha ibutho lakhe lonke, elamakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lambili, lamabhiza lezinqola. Wenyuka wayavimbezela iSamariya, walwa layo.
2 Ya aika da’yan aika zuwa cikin birnin wurin Ahab sarkin Isra’ila yana cewa, “Ga abin da Ben-Hadad ya ce,
Wathuma izithunywa kuAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, emzini, wathi kuye: Utsho njalo uBenihadadi:
3 ‘Azurfarka da zinariyarka nawa ne. Mafi kyau cikin matanka da’ya’yanka nawa ne.’”
Isiliva sakho legolide lakho ngokwami, labafazi bakho labantwana bakho abahle ngabami.
4 Sarkin Isra’ila ya amsa, ya ce, “Kamar dai yadda ka faɗa, ranka yă daɗe, sarki. Ni da dukan abin da nake da shi, naka ne.”
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphendula yathi: Njengokwelizwi lakho, nkosi yami, nkosi, ngingowakho, lakho konke engilakho.
5 Sai’yan aikan suka sāke dawo suka ce, “Ga abin da Ben-Hadad ya ce, ‘Na aika ka ba da azurfarka da zinariyarka, matanka da kuma’ya’yanka.
Izithunywa zasezibuyela zathi: Utsho njalo uBenihadadi uthi: Lanxa ngithumele kuwe ngisithi: Isiliva sakho legolide lakho labafazi bakho labantwana bakho, kunike mina;
6 Amma war haka gobe zan aika shugabannina su bincika fadanka da kuma gidajen shugabanninka. Za su kwashe dukan abubuwan da kake ganin darajarsu su tafi.’”
kube kanti phose ngalesisikhathi kusasa ngizathuma kuwe izinceku zami, zizaguduza indlu yakho lezindlu zezinceku zakho; kuzakuthi-ke, yonke into ethandekayo emehlweni akho, zizayifaka esandleni sazo ziyithathe.
7 Sarkin Isra’ila ya tattara dukan dattawan ƙasar, ya ce musu, “Ku duba fa, wannan mutum yana neman tsokana! Sa’ad da ya aika in ba shi matana da’ya’yana, azurfana da zinariyana, ban hana masa ba.”
Ngakho inkosi yakoIsrayeli yabiza bonke abadala belizwe yathi: Ake linanzelele libone ukuthi lo udinga ububi, ngoba uthumele kimi ngabafazi bami langabantwana bami langesiliva sami langegolide lami, njalo kangimalelanga.
8 Dattawa da dukan mutane suka amsa, suka ce, “Kada ka saurare shi ko ka yarda da abin da yake bukata.”
Bonke abadala labo bonke abantu basebesithi kuyo: Ungalaleli, njalo ungavumi.
9 Saboda haka ya ba wa’yan aikan Ben-Hadad amsa, ya ce, “Ku faɗa wa ranka yă daɗe, sarki, ‘Bawanka zai yi dukan abin da ka bukaci da farko, amma wannan na ƙarshe ba zan iya yin ba.’” Suka tafi suka kai amsar wa Ben-Hadad.
Wasesithi kuzo izithunywa zikaBenihadadi: Tshelani inkosi yami, inkosi ukuthi: Konke eyakuthumela encekwini yayo kuqala ngizakwenza; kodwa linto kangilamandla okuyenza. Izithunywa zasezihamba, zayibuyisela ilizwi.
10 Sai Ben-Hadad ya aika da wani saƙo wa Ahab, ya ce, “Bari alloli su yi da ni yadda suke so, su kuma yi haka da tsanani, in isashen ƙura ta rage a Samariya da za a iya ba wa mutanena a tafin hannu.”
UBenihadadi wasethumela kuye wathi: Kabenze njalo onkulunkulu kimi, bengezelele njalo, uba ubhuqu lweSamariya lungenela izandla ezigcweleyo zabo bonke abantu abangilandelayo.
11 Sarki Isra’ila ya amsa, ya ce, “Ku faɗa masa, ‘Wanda ya sa kayan yaƙinsa bai kamata yă yi fariya ba sai ya tuɓe su.’”
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphendula yathi: Mtsheleni: Lowo obhinca izikhali kangaziqakisi njengozikhululayo.
12 Ben-Hadad ya ji wannan saƙo yayinda shi da sarakunan suke sha a cikin tentunansu, sai ya umarce mutanensa, ya ce, “Ku shirya don yaƙi.” Saboda haka suka shirya don su yaƙi birnin.
Kwasekusithi esizwa lelilizwi esanatha, yena lamakhosi emadumbeni, wathi ezincekwini zakhe: Zimiseni! Zasezizimisa ukumelana lomuzi.
13 Ana cikin haka sai wani annabi ya zo wurin Ahab sarkin Isra’ila ya sanar masa cewa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ka ga wannan ɗumbun mayaƙa? Zan ba da su cikin hannunka a yau, sa’an nan za ka san cewa ni ne Ubangiji.’”
Khangela-ke, umprofethi othile wasondela kuAhabi inkosi yakoIsrayeli, wathi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Uyalibona lelixuku lonke elikhulu yini? Khangela, ngizalinikela esandleni sakho lamuhla, njalo uzakwazi ukuthi mina ngiyiNkosi.
14 Ahab ya ce, “Amma wa zai yi haka?” Annabin ya amsa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Sojoji matasa na shugabannin yankuna za su yi haka.’” Ya tambaya, “Wa kuma zai fara yaƙin?” Annabin ya amsa, “Kai za ka fara.”
UAhabi wasesithi: Ngobani? Wasesithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngamajaha abaphathi bezabelo. Wasesithi: Ngubani ozaqalisa impi? Wasesithi: Wena.
15 Saboda haka Ahab ya kira sojoji matasa na shugabannin yankuna, mutum 232. Sa’an nan ya tattara sauran Isra’ilawa su 7,000 gaba ɗaya.
Wasebala amajaha abaphathi bezabelo, ayengamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amathathu lambili; lemva kwawo wabala bonke abantu, bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli, izinkulungwane eziyisikhombisa.
16 Suka fita da tsakar rana yayinda Ben-Hadad tare da sarakuna 32 masu goyon bayansa suke cikin tentunansu suna sha, suna buguwa.
Basebephuma emini, uBenihadadi esenathe wadakwa emadumbeni, yena lamakhosi, amakhosi angamatshumi amathathu lambili ayemsiza.
17 Sojojin nan matasa na shugabannin yankuna suka fara fita. Ben-Hadad kuwa ya riga ya aiki’yan leƙen asiri, waɗanda suka ce, “Mutane suna zuwa daga Samariya.”
Amajaha abaphathi bezabelo asephuma kuqala. UBenihadadi wasethuma, basebemtshela besithi: Kuphume amadoda eSamariya.
18 Ya ce, “In sun fito don salama, ku kamo su da rai; in sun fito yaƙi ne, ku kamo su da rai.”
Wasesithi: Loba ephumele ukuthula, abambeni ephila; loba-ke ephumele impi, abambeni ephila.
19 Sojojin nan matasa na shugabannin yankuna suka taka suka fita daga birnin da mayaƙa a bayansu.
Lala aphuma emzini, amajaha abaphathi bezabelo, lebutho elawalandelayo.
20 Kowannensu kuwa ya buge abokin gābansa. Ganin wannan, sai Arameyawa suka gudu, Isra’ilawa suna bi. Amma Ben-Hadad na Aram ya tsere a kan dokinsa tare da waɗansu mahayan dawakansa.
Babulala, ngulowo lalowo umuntu wakhe. AmaSamariya asebaleka, uIsrayeli wasexotshana lawo, kodwa uBenihadadi inkosi yeSiriya waphunyuka ngebhiza kanye labagadi bamabhiza.
21 Sarki Isra’ila ya bi, ya kuma sha ƙarfin dawakan da keken yaƙin, ya kashe Arameyawa da yawa.
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasiphuma, yatshaya amabhiza lenqola, yatshaya phakathi kwamaSiriya ngokubulala okukhulu.
22 Daga baya, annabin ya zo wurin sarkin Isra’ila ya ce, “Ka ƙarfafa matsayinka ka kuma ga abin da za a yi, gama a bazara mai zuwa sarkin Aram zai sāke kawo yaƙi.”
Lowomprofethi wasesondela enkosini yakoIsrayeli wathi kuyo: Hamba, uziqinise, unanzelele njalo ubone okwenzayo; ngoba ekuthwaseni komnyaka inkosi yeSiriya izakwenyuka imelane lawe.
23 Ana cikin haka, shugabannin sarkin Aram suka ba shi shawara, “Allolinsu, allolin tuddai ne. Shi ya sa suka fi mu ƙarfi. Amma in mun yaƙe su a fili, tabbatacce za mu fi su ƙarfi.
Lezinceku zenkosi yeSiriya zathi kuyo: Onkulunkulu babo bangonkulunkulu bezintaba, yikho belamandla kulathi; kube kanti asilwe labo emagcekeni, sibili sizabehlula.
24 Ka yi wannan. Ka cire dukan sarakuna daga matsayinsu ka sa waɗansu shugabanni a maimakonsu.
Ngakho yenza linto: Susa amakhosi, ngulowo lalowo endaweni yakhe, ubeke izinduna esikhundleni sawo;
25 Dole kuma ka tā da waɗansu mayaƙa kamar waɗanda ka rasa, doki don doki, keken yaƙi kuma don keken yaƙi, saboda mu iya yaƙe Isra’ila a fili. Ta haka tabbatacce za mu fi ƙarfinsu.” Sai ya yarda da su, ya kuma yi haka.
njalo wena zibalele ibutho njengebutho eliwileyo kuwe, lebhiza njengebhiza, lenqola njengenqola; njalo sizakulwa labo emagcekeni, isibili sizabehlula. Yasilalela ilizwi labo, yenza njalo.
26 Bazara na biye Ben-Hadad ya tattara Arameyawa, ya haura zuwa Afek don yă yaƙi Isra’ila.
Kwasekusithi ekuthwaseni komnyaka uBenihadadi wabala amaSiriya, wenyukela eAfeki ekulweni loIsrayeli.
27 Sa’ad da aka tattara Isra’ilawa, aka kuma ba su guzuri, sai suka taka suka fita don su sadu da Arameyawa. Isra’ilawa suka kafa sansani ɗaura da su kamar ƙananan garkuna biyu na awaki, yayinda Arameyawa suka rufe dukan jejin.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli babalwa-ke, banikwa imiphako, basebephuma ukumelana lawo; abantwana bakoIsrayeli bamisa inkamba phambi kwawo njengemihlanjana yembuzi emibili, kodwa amaSiriya agcwala ilizwe.
28 Sai mutumin Allah ya zo ya ce wa sarkin Isra’ila, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Domin Arameyawa suna tsammani Ubangiji allahn tuddai ne, ba allahn kwari ba, zan ba da wannan ɗumbun mayaƙa a hannuwanka, za ka kuwa sani ni ne Ubangiji.’”
Kwasekusondela umuntu kaNkulunkulu, wakhuluma enkosini yakoIsrayeli wathi: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngenxa yokuthi amaSiriya athe: INkosi inguNkulunkulu wezintaba, kodwa kayisuye uNkulunkulu wezihotsha, ngakho ngizanikela esandleni sakho lelixuku lonke elikhulu, njalo lizakwazi ukuthi mina ngiyiNkosi.
29 Kwana bakwai suka yi sansani ɗaura da juna, a rana ta bakwai sai yaƙi ya haɗu. Isra’ilawa suka kashe sojojin kafa na Arameyawa dubu ɗari a rana ɗaya.
Basebemisa inkamba, enye iqondene lenye, insuku eziyisikhombisa. Kwasekusithi ngosuku lwesikhombisa impi yadibana; abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebetshaya ngosuku lunye amaSiriya azinkulungwane ezilikhulu ahamba ngenyawo.
30 Sauransu suka tsere zuwa birnin Afek, inda katangar ya fāɗa a kan mutum dubu ashirin da bakwai. Sai Ben-Hadad ya gudu zuwa birni ya ɓuya a ciki cikin ɗaki.
Labaseleyo babalekela eAfeki emzini; lomduli wawela phezu kwamadoda ayizinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili lesikhombisa ayesele. UBenihadadi laye wabaleka, wangena emzini ekamelweni elingaphakathi.
31 Fadawansa suka je suka ce masa, “Mun ji an ce sarakunan Isra’ila masu jinƙai ne, bari mu sa tufafin makoki, mu ɗaura igiyoyi a wuyanmu, sa’an nan mu tafi wurin sarkin Isra’ila, wataƙila zai bar ka da rai.”
Lezinceku zakhe zathi kuye: Khangela-ke, sizwile ukuthi amakhosi endlu yakoIsrayeli angamakhosi alesihawu; ake sifake amasaka enkalweni zethu, lamagoda emakhanda ethu, siphumele enkosini yakoIsrayeli; mhlawumbe izagcina umphefumulo wakho uphile.
32 Saye da tufafin makoki kewaye a gindinsu, da kuma igiyoyi kewaye da kawunansu, suka tafi wurin sarkin Isra’ila, suka ce, “Bawanka Ben-Hadad ya ce, ‘Ina roƙonka bari in rayu.’” Sarki ya amsa, “Har yanzu yana da rai? Shi ɗan’uwana ne.”
Basebethandela amasaka enkalweni zabo, lamagoda emakhanda abo, bafika enkosini yakoIsrayeli, bathi: Inceku yakho uBenihadadi ithi: Ake ungiyekele ngiphile. Yasisithi: Usaphila yini? Ungumfowethu.
33 Da ma abin da fadawan suke so su ji ke nan, sai suka yi sauri, suka karɓi maganar a bakinsa, suka ce, “I, ɗan’uwanka, Ben-hadad!” Sarki ya ce, “Ku je ku kawo shi.” Da Ben-Hadad ya fita, sai Ahab ya sa aka kawo shi cikin keken yaƙinsa.
Lamadoda aqaphela ngokukhuthala aphangisa ukukuhluthuna kuyo, athi: Umfowenu uBenihadadi. Yasisithi: Hambani liyemthatha. UBenihadadi wasephumela kuyo, yamkhweza enqoleni.
34 Ben-Hadad ya ce, “Zan mayar da biranen mahaifinka da na ƙwace daga mahaifinka. Za ka iya sa wurin kasuwarka a cikin Damaskus, kamar yadda mahaifinka ya yi a Samariya.” Ahab ya ce, “Bisa wannan yarjejjeniya zan sake ka.” Saboda haka ya yi yarjejjeniya da shi, sai ya bar shi ya tafi.
Wasesithi kuyo: Imizi ubaba ayithatha kuyihlo ngizayibuyisela; futhi ungazenzela izitalada eDamaseko njengokwenza kukababa eSamariya. Khona uAhabi wathi: Mina ngizakuyekela uhambe ngalesisivumelwano. Yasisenza laye isivumelwano yamyekela ehamba.
35 Ta wurin maganar Ubangiji, ɗaya daga cikin’ya’ya maza na annabawa ya ce wa abokinsa, “Ka buge ni da makaminka,” amma mutumin ya ƙi.
Umuntu othile wamadodana abaprofethi wasesithi kumakhelwane wakhe ngelizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu: Ake ungitshaye. Kodwa lowomuntu wala ukumtshaya.
36 Sai annabin ya ce, “Domin ba ka yi biyayya da Ubangiji ba, da zarar ka bar ni zaki zai kashe ka.” Daga baya mutumin ya tafi, zaki ya same shi, ya kuma kashe shi.
Wasesithi kuye: Ngenxa yokuthi ungalilalelanga ilizwi leNkosi, khangela, ekusukeni kwakho kimi isilwane sizakutshaya. Wasesuka kuye, lesilwane samfica, sambulala.
37 Annabin ya sami wani mutum ya ce, “Ka buge ni, ina roƙonka.” Sai mutumin ya buge shi, ya ji masa ciwo.
Wasethola omunye umuntu wathi: Ake ungitshaye. Lalowomuntu wamtshaya lokumtshaya emlimaza.
38 Sa’an nan annabin ya tafi ya tsaya a bakin hanya yana jiran sarki. Ya ɓad da kamanni da ƙyalle a kansa. Ƙyallen ya sauka zuwa bisa idanunsa.
Ngakho umprofethi wasuka, wamelela inkosi endleleni, ezifihle isimo ngelembu emehlweni.
39 Yayinda sarki yake wucewa, sai annabin ya yi kira da ƙarfi gare shi ya ce “Ni bawanka na tafi yaƙi, sai ga wani ya kawo mini wani mutum, ya ce, ‘Ka riƙe wannan mutum, kada ka bar shi yă kuɓuta ko da ƙaƙa, idan ka bari ya kuɓuta, a bakin ranka, ko kuwa ka biya talanti ɗaya na azurfa.’
Kwasekusithi inkosi idlula, yena wamemeza enkosini wathi: Inceku yakho yaphuma phakathi kwempi; khangela-ke, umuntu waphambuka, waletha umuntu kimi, wathi: Londoloza lumuntu; uba elahleka lokulahleka, khona impilo yakho izakuba sesikhundleni sempilo yakhe, kumbe uhlawule ngethalenta lesiliva.
40 Yayinda bawanka yana fama, yana kai da kawowa, sai mutumin ya ɓace.” Sai sarkin Isra’ila ya ce, “Hukuncinka ke nan, ka furta shi da kanka.”
Kwasekusithi inceku yakho isaphathekile lapha lalaphaya, yena wayengekho. Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisithi kuye: Sinjalo isahlulelo sakho, ususiqumile wena.
41 Sai annabin ya cire ƙyallen da sauri daga kansa, da ya rufe idanunsa, sarkin Isra’ila kuwa ya gane shi a matsayi ɗaya daga cikin annabawa.
Wasephangisa walisusa ilembu emehlweni akhe. Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasimazi ukuthi ungowabaprofethi.
42 Sai ya ce wa sarki, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ka saki mutumin da na ƙudura yă mutu. Saboda haka ranka zai zama a maimakon ransa, mutanenka a maimakon mutanensa.’”
Wasesithi kuyo: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ngoba umyekele ukuthi aphume esandleni umuntu engimmisele ukumtshabalalisa, ngakho impilo yakho izakuba sesikhundleni sempilo yakhe, labantu bakho esikhundleni sabantu bakhe.
43 Cike da fushi, sarkin Isra’ila ya tafi fadarsa a Samariya.
Inkosi yakoIsrayeli yasisiya endlini yayo inyukumele, ithukuthele, yafika eSamariya.
