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 riches and honor in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.
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 certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead.
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.”
And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as you are, and my people as your people; and we will be with you in the war.
4 Amma Yehoshafat ya kuma ce wa sarkin Isra’ila, “Da fari mu nemi bishewar Ubangiji.”
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray you, at the word of the LORD to day.
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.”
Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.
6 Amma Yehoshafat ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Babu wani annabin Ubangiji a nan da za mu tambaya?”
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?
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 yet one man, by whom we may inquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good to me, but always evil: the same 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.”
And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly 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.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied 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 had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus says the LORD, With these you shall push Syria until they be consumed.
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 prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand 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.”
And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let your word therefore, I pray you, be like one of theirs, and speak you good.
13 Amma Mikahiya ya ce, “Na rantse da ran Ubangiji, zan faɗa masa kawai abin da Allahna ya faɗa.”
And Micaiah said, As the LORD lives, even what my God says, that will I speak.
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.”
And when he was come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go you up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.
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, How many times shall I adjure you that you say nothing but the truth to me 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 did see all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore 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 tell you that he would not prophesy good to me, but 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.
Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on 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, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
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 there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said to him, With which?
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 lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, You shall entice him, and you shall also prevail: go out, and do even so.
22 “To yanzu, Ubangiji ya sa ruhun ruɗu a bakunan waɗannan annabawanka. Ubangiji ya ƙayyade masifa dominka.”
Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken 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 smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak to you?
24 Mikahiya ya amsa ya ce, “Za ka gane a ranar da ka je ka ɓuya a can cikin ɗaki.”
And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see on that day when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.
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,
Then the king of Israel said, Take you Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, 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, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return 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 certainly return in peace, then has not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Listen, all you people.
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 Ramothgilead.
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 disguise myself, and I will go to the battle; but put you on your robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.
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 Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight you not with small or great, save only with 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,
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
32 gama sa’ad da shugabannin keken yaƙi suka ga cewa ba shi ne sarkin Isra’ila ba, sai suka daina binsa.
For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing 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 drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn your hand, that you may carry me out of the host; for I am 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.
And the battle increased that day: however, the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.
