2 Tarihi 18
1 Yanzu fa Yehoshafat ya wadace ƙwarai yana kuma da girma, ya kuma haɗa kansa da Ahab ta wurin aure.
Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honour, and his son was married to Ahab's daughter.
2 Bayan’yan shekaru sai ya gangara don yă ziyarci Ahab a Samariya. Ahab kuwa ya yanka tumaki da shanu masu yawa dominsa da kuma mutanen da suke tare da shi, ya kuma lallashe shi yă yaƙi Ramot Gileyad.
And after some years he went down to Samaria to see Ahab. And Ahab made a feast for him and the people who were with him, putting to death great numbers of sheep and oxen; and he got Jehoshaphat to go with him to Ramoth-gilead.
3 Ahab sarkin Isra’ila ya tambayi Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda ya ce, “Za ka tafi tare da ni mu yaƙi Ramot Gileyad?” Yehoshafat ya amsa ya ce, “Ni kamar kai ne, kuma mutanena kamar naka ne; za mu tafi tare da kai a yaƙin.”
For Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said, I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.
4 Amma Yehoshafat ya kuma ce wa sarkin Isra’ila, “Da fari mu nemi bishewar Ubangiji.”
Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.
5 Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya tattara annabawa duka, mutane ɗari huɗu, ya kuma tambaye su, “Mu tafi yaƙi a kan Ramot Gileyad ko kada mu tafi?” Suka amsa “Tafi, gama Allah zai ba da shi cikin hannun sarki.”
So the king of Israel got together all the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for God will give it into the hands of the king.
6 Amma Yehoshafat ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Babu wani annabin Ubangiji a nan da za mu tambaya?”
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?
7 Sarki Isra’ila ya amsa wa Yehoshafat, “Akwai guda har yanzu mai suna Mikahiya ɗan Imla, za mu iya nemi nufin Ubangiji daga gare shi, sai dai ba na sonsa domin bai taɓa yin annabci wani abu mai kyau game da ni ba, sai kullum masifa.” Yehoshafat ya amsa ya ce, “Kada sarki yă faɗa haka.”
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, but I have no love for him, because he has never been a prophet of good to me, but only of evil: he is Micaiah, the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
8 Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya kira ɗaya daga cikin ma’aikatansa ya ce, “A kawo Mikahiya ɗan Imla nan da nan.”
Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imla.
9 Saye da rigunan sarakuna, sarki Isra’ila da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda suna zaune a kan kujerunsu na mulki a masussuka ta ƙofar shigar Samariya, tare da dukan annabawa suna ta annabci a gabansu.
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.
10 To, fa, Zedekiya ɗan Kena’ana ya yi ƙahonin ƙarfe, ya kuma furta, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Da waɗannan za ka sassoki Arameyawa sai sun hallaka.’”
And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself iron horns and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.
11 Dukan sauran annabawan suka yi irin annabcin nan. Suka ce, “A haura zuwa Ramot Gileyad a yi nasara, gama Ubangiji zai ba da shi cikin hannun sarki.”
And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
12 Ɗan saƙon da ya tafi don yă kawo Mikahiya kuwa ya ce masa, “Duba, kowannen a cikin annabawa ya yi faɗin nasara wa sarki. Don haka kai ma ka yi maganar da za tă gamshi sarki kamar yadda suka yi.”
Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs, and say good things.
13 Amma Mikahiya ya ce, “Na rantse da ran Ubangiji, zan faɗa masa kawai abin da Allahna ya faɗa.”
And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.
14 Da suka iso, sarki ya tambaye shi, “Mika, mu tafi mu yaƙi Ramot Gileyad, ko kada mu tafi?” Ya amsa, “Kai masa yaƙi za ka kuwa yi nasara, gama za a ba da su a hannunka.”
When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and they will be given up into your hands.
15 Sarki ya ce masa, “Sau nawa zan sa ka rantse don ka faɗa gaskiya a cikin sunan Ubangiji?”
And the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?
16 Sa’an nan Mikahiya ya amsa, “Na ga dukan Isra’ila sun warwatsu a kan tuddai kamar tumakin da ba su da makiyaya, kuma Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Waɗannan mutane ba su da maigida. Bari kowanne yă tafi gida cikin salama.’”
Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.
17 Sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Ban faɗa maka cewa bai taɓa yin annabci wani abu mai kyau game da ni, in ba masifa ba?”
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good to me, but of evil?
18 Mikahiya ya ci gaba, “Saboda haka sai ka ji maganar Ubangiji. Na ga Ubangiji yana zama a kan kursiyinsa tare da dukan rundunar sama tsaye a damansa da hagunsa.
Then he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, and all the army of heaven in their places, at his right hand and at his left.
19 Ubangiji kuwa ya ce, ‘Wa zai ruɗe Ahab sarki Isra’ila zuwa yaƙi da Ramot Gileyad da kuma zuwa mutuwarsa a can?’ “Wani ya ba da wata shawara, wani kuma wata dabam.
And the Lord said, How may Ahab, king of Israel, be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.
20 A ƙarshe, wani ruhu ya zo gaba, ya tsaya a gaban Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Zan ruɗe shi.’ “Ubangiji ya yi tambaya, ‘Ta wace hanya?’
Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick. And the Lord said to him, How?
21 “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 out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.
22 “To yanzu, Ubangiji ya sa ruhun ruɗu a bakunan waɗannan annabawanka. Ubangiji ya ƙayyade masifa dominka.”
And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of these prophets of yours; and the Lord has said evil against you.
23 Sai Zedekiya ɗan Kena’ana ya haura ya mari Mikahiya a fuska. Ya ce, “Ta wace hanya ce ruhun Ubangiji ya fita daga gare ni ya zo ya yi magana da kai?”
Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of his face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?
24 Mikahiya ya amsa ya ce, “Za ka gane a ranar da ka je ka ɓuya a can cikin ɗaki.”
And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.
25 Sa’an nan sarkin Isra’ila ya umarta, “Ɗauki Mikahiya ku aika da shi zuwa ga Amon mai mulkin birni da kuma ga Yowash ɗan sarki,
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;
26 ku ce ga abin da sarki ya ce, ‘Ku jefa wannan mutum a kurkuku kada kuma ku ba shi wani abu sai dai burodi da ruwa har sai na dawo lafiya.’”
And say, By the king's order this man is to be put in prison, and given prison food till I come back in peace.
27 Mikahiya ya furta ya ce, “Idan har ka dawo lafiya, to, Ubangiji bai yi magana ta wurina ba.” Ya kuma ƙara da cewa, “Dukanku mutane, ku lura da maganata!”
And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.
28 Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda suka haura zuwa Ramot Gileyad.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.
29 Sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Zan ɓad da kama in shiga yaƙin, amma ka sa kayanka na sarauta.” Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya ɓad da kama ya shiga cikin yaƙin.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress, and they went to the fight.
30 To, fa, sarkin Aram ya umarce shugabannin keken yaƙinsa ya ce, “Kada ku yaƙi kowa, ƙarami ko babba, sai dai sarkin Isra’ila.”
Now the king of Aram had given orders to the captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.
31 Sa’ad da shugabannin kekunan yaƙi suka ga Yehoshafat, sai suka yi tsammani, “Wannan ne sarkin Isra’ila.” Saboda haka suka juya don su yaƙe shi, amma Yehoshafat ya yi ihu, Ubangiji kuma ya taimake shi. Allah ya janye su daga gare shi,
So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It is the king of Israel. And turning about, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry, and the Lord came to his help, and God sent them away from him.
32 gama sa’ad da shugabannin keken yaƙi suka ga cewa ba shi ne sarkin Isra’ila ba, sai suka daina binsa.
Now when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.
33 Amma wani ya harba kibiya haka kawai, sai kibiyar ta sami sarki Ahab na Isra’ila a kafaɗa tsakanin rigar yaƙinsa na ƙarfe da ƙarfen ƙirjinsa. Sai sarki ya ce wa mai tuƙan keken yaƙi, “Juya ka fitar da ni daga wurin yaƙin. An ji mini rauni.”
And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.
34 Duk yini yaƙi ya yi ta cin gaba, sarkin Isra’ila kuwa ya jingina kansa a cikin keken yaƙinsa yana duban Arameyawa har yamma. Sa’an nan a fāɗuwar rana sai ya mutu.
But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king of Israel was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans till the evening; and by sundown he was dead.
