1 Sarakuna 22
1 Aka yi shekaru uku ba a yi yaƙi tsakanin Aram da Isra’ila ba.
And they remained [at rest] three years, there being no war between Syria and Israel.
2 Amma a shekara ta uku, Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda ya gangara don yă ga sarki Isra’ila.
And it came to pass in the third year that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3 Sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa shugabanninsa, “Ba ku san cewa Ramot Gileyad namu ne ba, duk da haka ba mu yi kome ba don mu sāke karɓanta daga sarkin Aram?”
And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gil'ad is ours, and we remain idle, without taking it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 Saboda haka ya tambayi Yehoshafat, ya ce, “Za ka tafi tare da ni don in yi yaƙi da Ramot Gileyad?” Yehoshafat ya amsa wa sarkin Isra’ila, ya ce, “Ni ma kamar ka ne, mutanena kuwa kamar mutanenka, dawakaina kamar dawakanka.”
And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to the battle against Ramoth-gil'ad? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I [will be] like thee, my people like thy people, my horses like thy horses.
5 Amma Yehoshafat ya ce wa sarkin Isra’ila, “Da farko mu nemi nufin Ubangiji.”
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, today [first] of the word of the Lord.
6 Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya tattara annabawa, kamar ɗari huɗu, ya tambaye su, “In kai yaƙi a kan Ramot Gileyad, ko kada in kai?” Suka amsa, “Ka tafi, gama Ubangiji zai ba ka ita a hannunka.”
Then assembled the king of Israel the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them, shall I go against Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; and the Lord will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
7 Amma Yehoshafat ya yi tambaya, ya ce, “Babu wani annabin Ubangiji a nan da za mu tambaya?”
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Eternal besides, that we might inquire of him?
8 Sarkin Isra’ila ya amsa wa Yehoshafat, ya ce, “Akwai mutum guda har yanzu wanda ta wurinsa za mu iya nemi nufin Ubangiji, amma na ƙi jininsa domin bai taɓa yin annabci wani abu mai kyau game da ni ba, sai dai mummuna kullum. Shi ne Mikahiya ɗan Imla.” Yehoshafat ya ce, “Kada sarki ya ce haka.”
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we might inquire of the Lord; but I hate him; for he will never prophesy good concerning me, but evil: [it is] Michayhu the son of Yimlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya kira ɗaya daga cikin shugabanninsa ya ce, “Kawo Mikahiya ɗan Imla nan take.”
Then called the king of Israel a certain officer, and said, Hasten hither Michayhu the son of Yimlah.
10 Saye da rigunansu na sarauta, sarkin Isra’ila da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda suna zama a kujerun sarautarsu a masussuka ta mashigin ƙofar Samariya, tare da dukan annabawa suna ta annabci a gabansu.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, dressed in their regal garments, in a threshing-floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 Zedekiya ɗan Kena’ana kuwa ya yi ƙahonin ƙarfe ya kuma furta, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Da waɗannan za ka tunkuyi Arameyawa har su hallaka.’”
And Zedekiah the son of Kena'anah had made himself horns of iron; and he said, Thus hath said the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have made an end of them.
12 Dukan sauran annabawan suka yi annabci iri abu ɗaya. Suka ce, “Ka yaƙi Ramot Gileyad, ka kuma yi nasara, gama Ubangiji zai ba da ita cikin hannun sarki.”
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gil'ad, and prosper; and the Lord will deliver it into the king's hand.
13 Ɗan aikan da ya je yă kawo Mikahiya, ya ce masa, “Duba, sauran annabawa suna maganar nasara wa sarki, sai ka ce mutum guda. Bari maganarka tă yarda da tasu, ka kuma yi maganar alheri.”
And the messenger that went to call Michayhu spoke unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets are with one voice good for the king: do let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of any one of them, and speak something good.
14 Amma Mikahiya ya ce, “Na rantse da Ubangiji mai rai, zan faɗa masa kawai abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa mini.”
And Michayhu said, As the Lord liveth, truly, what the Lord may say unto me, that will I speak.
15 Da suka kai, sai sarki ya tambaye shi, ya ce, “Mikahiya, mu kai yaƙi a kan Ramot Gileyad, ko kada mu kai?” Ya amsa ya ce, “Yaƙe ta, za ka kuwa yi nasara, gama Ubangiji zai ba da ita cikin hannun sarki.”
And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Michayhu, shall we go against Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up, and prosper; and may the Lord deliver it into the hand of the king.
16 Sai sarki ya ce masa, “Sau nawa ne zan sa ka rantse cewa ba za ka faɗa mini kome ba sai dai gaskiya a cikin sunan Ubangiji?”
And the king said unto him, How many times yet must I adjure thee that thou shalt not speak to me anything but the truth in the name of the Lord?
17 Sa’an nan Mikahiya ya amsa, “Na ga dukan Isra’ila a warwatse a kan tuddai kamar tumakin da ba su da makiyayi, kuma Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Waɗannan mutane ba su da maigida. Bari kowa yă tafi gida cikin salama.’”
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered over the mountains, as flocks that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.
18 Sai sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Ban faɗa maka cewa bai taɓa yin annabci wani abu mai kyau game da ni, sai mummuna kawai ba?”
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not say unto thee that he would not prophesy concerning me any good, but [only] evil?
19 Mikahiya ya ci gaba, “Saboda haka ka ji maganar Ubangiji. I, na ga Ubangiji zaune a kursiyinsa tare da dukan rundunar sama tsaye kewaye da shi a dama da hagunsa.
And he said, Therefore hear thou the word of the Lord, I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right and on his left.
20 Kuma Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Wa zai ruɗi Ahab zuwa yaƙi da Ramot Gileyad, yă kuma kai shi mutuwarsa a can?’ “Wani ya ce wannan, wani ya ce wancan.
And the Lord said, Who will persuade Achab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gil'ad! And one said, In this manner, and another said, In that manner.
21 A ƙarshe, wani ruhu ya zo gaba, ya tsaya a gaban Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Zan ruɗe shi.’
And there came forth a spirit, and placed himself before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
22 “Ubangiji ya yi tambaya ‘Ta wace hanya?’ Ya ce, “‘Zan tafi in zama ruhun ƙarya a bakunan dukan annabawansa.’ “Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Za ka yi nasara a ruɗinsa. Ka tafi, ka yi haka.’
And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou wilt persuade him, and also prevail: go forth, and do so.
23 “Saboda haka yanzu Ubangiji ya sa ruhun ƙarya a bakunan dukan annabawanka. Ubangiji ya zartar maka da masifa.”
And now, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets; but the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
24 Sai Zedekiya ɗan Kena’ana ya hau ya mari Mikahiya a fuska. Ya yi tambaya, “A wace hanya ce ruhu daga Ubangiji ya bar ni ya yi maka magana?”
And Zedekiah, the son of Kena'anah, went near, and struck Michayhu on the cheek, and said, Which way passed the Spirit of the Lord away from me to speak with thee!
25 Mikahiya ya amsa, “Za ka gane a ranar da ka je ka ɓuya a ciki cikin ɗaki.”
And Michayhu said, Behold, thou shalt see it on that day, when thou shalt go into the innermost chamber to hide thyself.
26 Sa’an nan sarkin Isra’ila ya umarta, “Ku kama Mikahiya, ku kai shi wurin Amon, shugaban birnin, da wurin Yowash ɗan sarki.
And the king of Israel said, Take Michayhu, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and unto Joash the king's son;
27 Ku ce ga abin da sarki ya ce, ‘Ku sa wannan mutum a kurkuku, kuma kada ku ba shi wani abu sai dai burodi da ruwa, sai na dawo lafiya.’”
And say, Thus hath said the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with sparing bread and with sparing water, until I come home in peace.
28 Mikahiya ya furta, “Idan har ka dawo lafiya, to, Ubangiji bai yi magana ta wurina ba.” Ya kuma ƙara da cewa, “Ku lura da maganata, dukanku mutane!”
And Michayhu said, If thou return at all in peace, then hath the Lord not spoken through me. And he said, Hear it, O all ye nations!
29 Sai sarkin Isra’ila da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda suka haura zuwa Ramot Gileyad.
So the king of Israel went up with Jehoshaphat the king of Judah to Ramoth-gil'ad.
30 Sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Zan ɓad da kama in shiga wurin yaƙi, amma ka sa kayan sarautarka.” Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya ɓad da kama, ya shiga cikin yaƙi.
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but do thou put on thy regal garments. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
31 Sarkin Aram kuwa ya umarci shugabanni kekunan yaƙinsa talatin da biyu, ya ce, “Kada ku yaƙe kowa, ƙarami ko babba, sai dai sarkin Isra’ila.”
And the king of Syria had commanded the captains over his chariots, thirty-two [in number], saying, Fight neither with a small nor a great one, save only with the king of Israel alone.
32 Sa’ad da shugabannin kekunan yaƙin suka ga Yehoshafat, suka yi tsammani, suka ce, “Tabbatacce wannan shi ne sarkin Isra’ila.” Saboda haka suka juye don su yaƙe shi, amma sa’ad da Yehoshafat ya yi ihu,
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely this is the king of Israel. And they turned aside against him to fight: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 sai shugabannin kekunan yaƙin suka ga ashe ba sarkin Isra’ila ba ne, sai suka daina binsa.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from following him.
34 Amma wani ya ja bakansa kawai ya bugi Ahab sarkin Isra’ila a tsakanin sassan kayan yaƙinsa. Sai sarki ya ce wa mahayin keken yaƙinsa, “Juye, ka fitar da ni daga yaƙin. An ji mini rauni.”
But a man drew his bow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the joints and the armor; wherefore he said unto his chariot-driver. Turn about, and carry me out of the camp; for I am wounded.
35 Dukan yini aka yi ta yaƙi, aka kuma riƙe sarki a keken yaƙinsa yana fuskanci Arameyawa. Jini daga mikinsa ya yi ta zuba a ƙasan keken yaƙin, a wannan yamma kuwa ya mutu.
And the battle increased on that day; and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians; but he died in the evening: and the blood of the wound flowed down into the hollow of the chariot.
36 Da rana tana fāɗuwa, sai kuka ta bazu cikin mayaƙa, “Kowane mutum ya tafi garinsu; kowa ya tafi ƙasarsa!”
And there went a proclamation throughout the camp at the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own land.
37 Sai sarki ya mutu, aka kuwa kawo shi Samariya, aka binne shi a can.
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
38 Suka wanke keken yaƙi a tafki, a Samariya (inda karuwai suke wanka), sai karnuka suka lashe jininsa, kamar yadda maganar Ubangiji ta furta.
And the chariot was washed out at the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood, as they washed his armor: according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
39 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Ahab, haɗe da dukan abin da ya yi, da fadan da ya gina ya kuma shimfiɗa da hauren giwa, da biranen da ya gina, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Isra’ila.
Now the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
40 Ahab ya huta da kakanninsa. Ahaziya ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
So Achab slept with his fathers: and Achazyahu his son became king in his stead.
41 Yehoshafat ɗan Asa ya zama sarkin Yahuda a shekara ta huɗu ta Ahab sarkin Isra’ila.
And Jehoshaphat the son of Assa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Achab the king of Israel.
42 Yehoshafat yana da shekara talatin da biyar sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki a Urushalima shekaru ashirin da biyar. Sunan mahaifiyarsa, Azuba’yar Shilhi.
Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he became king, and twenty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was 'Azubah the daughter of Shilchi.
43 A cikin kome ya yi tafiya a hanyoyin mahaifinsa Asa, bai kuma kauce daga gare su ba; ya yi abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji. Amma bai rurrushe masujadai da suke kan tuddai ba, mutane kuwa suka ci gaba da miƙa hadayu suna kuma ƙone turare a can.
And he walked in all the ways of Assa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord: Nevertheless the high-places were not removed; for the people still offered, and burnt incense on the high-places.
44 Yehoshafat kuma ya zauna lafiya da sarkin Isra’ila.
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Yehoshafat da abubuwan da ya yi, da kuma yaƙe-yaƙensa, duk a rubuce suke a cikin littafin tarihin sarakunan Yahuda.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his mighty deeds that he showed, and how he warred, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
46 Ya kawar da karuwai maza na masujadai da suke kan tuddai waɗanda suka rage tun mulkin mahaifinsa Asa.
And the remnant of the sodomites, that had been left in the days of his father Assa, did he put away out of the land.
47 Babu sarki a lokacin Edom, saboda haka sai mataimaki ya yi mulki.
There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
48 To, Yehoshafat ya gina jerin jiragen ruwan kasuwanci don su je Ofir saboda zinariya, amma ba su yi tafiya ba, gama sun farfashe a Eziyon Geber.
Jehoshaphat made Tharshish-ships to go to Ophir for gold; but they went not; for the ships were wrecked at 'Ezyon-geber.
49 A lokacin Ahaziya ɗan Ahab ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Bari mutanena su tafi tare da mutanenka,” amma Yehoshafat ya ƙi.
Then said Achazyahu the son of Achab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
50 Yehoshafat kuwa ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi tare da su a birnin Dawuda kakansa. Sai Yehoram ɗansa ya gāje shi.
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son became king in his stead.
51 Ahaziya ɗan Ahab ya zama sarkin Isra’ila a Samariya a shekara ta goma sha bakwai ta Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda, ya kuma yi mulki a bisa Isra’ila shekaru biyu.
Achazyahu the son of Achab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
52 Ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, domin ya yi tafiya a hanyoyin mahaifinsa da na mahaifiyarsa, da kuma a hanyoyin Yerobowam ɗan Nebat, wanda ya sa Isra’ila suka yi zunubi.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who had induced Israel to sin.
53 Ya bauta, ya kuma yi wa Ba’al sujada, ya tsokane Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila yă yi fushi, kamar yadda mahaifinsa ya yi.
And he served Ba'al, and bowed down to him, and he provoked to anger the Lord the God of Israel, all just as his father had done.
