2 Sarakuna 18
1 A shekara ta uku ta mulkin Hosheya ɗan Ela sarkin Isra’ila, Hezekiya ɗan Ahaz sarkin Yahuda ya fara mulki.
And it came to pass in the third year of Osee son of Ela king of Israel [that] Ezekias son of Achaz king of Juda began to reign.
2 Yana da shekara ashirin da biyar da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi mulki shekara ashirin da tara a Urushalima. Sunan mahaifiyarsa Abiya’yar Zakariya.
Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Abu, daughter of Zacharias.
3 Ya aikata abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji yadda kakansa Dawuda ya yi.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David did.
4 Ya kawar da masujadan kan tudu, ya farfasa keɓaɓɓun duwatsu, ya sassare ginshiƙan Ashera. Ya fashe macijin tagullan da Musa ya yi, gama har zuwa lokacin nan Isra’ilawa suna ƙona turare gare shi. (An ba shi suna Nehushtan.)
He removed the high places, and broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and the brazen serpent which Moses made: because until those days the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called it Neesthan.
5 Hezekiya ya dogara ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila. Ba a yi wani kamar sa ba cikin dukan sarakunan Yahuda; ko kafin shi, ko kuma bayansa.
He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; and after him there was not any like him amongst the kings of Juda, nor amongst those that were before him.
6 Ya manne wa Ubangiji, bai fasa binsa ba; ya yi biyayya da dokokin da Ubangiji ya ba wa Musa.
And he clave to the Lord, he departed not from following him; and he kept his commandments, as many as he commanded Moses.
7 Ubangiji kuma ya kasance tare da shi, ya yi nasara a duk abin da ya sa hannu. Ya yi tawaye ga sarkin Assuriya, ya ƙi yă bauta masa.
And the Lord was with him; and he was wise in all that he undertook: and he revolted from the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.
8 Daga hasumiya zuwa birni mai katanga, ya ci Filistiyawa da yaƙi, har zuwa Gaza da kewaye.
He struck the Philistines [even] to Gaza, and to the border of it, from the tower of the watchmen even to the strong city.
9 A shekara ta huɗu ta Hezekiya, wato, shekara ta bakwai ke nan ta mulkin Hosheya ɗan Ela sarkin Isra’ila; Shalmaneser Sarkin Assuriya ya tasam ma Samariya da yaƙi; ya kewaye ta.
And it came to pass in the fourth year of King Ezekias (this is the seventh year of Osee son of Ela king of Israel, ) [that] Salamanassar king of the Assyrians came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
10 A ƙarshen shekara ta uku, Assuriyawa suka ci Samariya da yaƙi. An ci Samariya da yaƙi a shekara ta shida ta mulki Hezekiya, wanda ya zo daidai da shekara ta tara ta mulkin Hosheya sarkin Isra’ila.
And he took it at the end of three years, in the sixth year of Ezekias, (this [is] the ninth year of Osee king of Israel, when Samaria was taken.)
11 Sarkin Assuriya ya kwashe Isra’ila zuwa Assuriya ya zaunar da su a Hala, da Gozan a kogin Habor da kuma garuruwan Medes.
And the king of the Assyrians carried away the Samaritans to Assyria, and put them in Alae and in Abor, [by] the river Gozan, and [in] the mountains of the Medes;
12 Wannan ya faru ne domin ba su yi biyayya ga Ubangiji Allahnsu ba, amma suka karya alkawarinsu; da dukan abin da Musa bawan Ubangiji ya umarta. Ba su saurari umarnin ba, balle su kiyaye su.
because they listened not to the voice of the Lord their God, and transgressed his covenant, [even] in all things that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and listened not [to them], nor did [them].
13 A shekara ta goma sha huɗu ta mulkin sarkin Hezekiya, sai sarki Sennakerib sarkin Assuriya ya kai farmaki wa biranen Yahuda masu katanga ya kuma kama su.
And in the fourteenth year of king Ezekias came up Sennacherim king of the Assyrians against the strong cities of Juda, and took them.
14 Sai Hezekiya sarkin Yahuda ya aika saƙo ga sarkin Assuriya a Lakish cewa, “Na yi laifi, ka janye daga gare ni, zan kuma biya ka duk abin da ake bukata daga gare ni.” Sarkin Assuriya ya karɓi talenti ɗari uku na azurfa, da talenti talatin na zinariya daga hannun Hezekiya sarkin Yahuda.
And Ezekias king of Juda sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians to Lachis, saying, I have offended; depart from me: whatever you shall lay upon me, I will bear. And the king of Assyria laid upon Ezekias king of Juda [a tribute of] three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold.
15 Ya zama kuwa cewa, Hezekiya ya bayar da dukan azurfan da suke a haikalin Ubangiji da kuma a ma’ajin fadan sarki.
And Ezekias gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.
16 A wannan lokaci ne Hezekiya sarkin Yahuda ya ɓaɓɓalle zinariyan da aka dalaye ƙofofi da madogaran ƙofofin haikalin Ubangiji, ya ba sarkin Assuriya.
At that time Ezekias cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple, and [from] the pillars which Ezekias king of Juda [had] overlaid with gold, and gave it to the king of the Assyrians.
17 Sai sarkin Assuriya ya aika da babban shugaban sojojinsa, da shugaban dattawansa, da wakilinsa daga birnin Lakish tare da ƙungiyar sojoji masu yawa zuwa Urushalima domin su yaƙi Sarki Hezekiya. Da suka haura sai suka tsaya a wurin lambatun da yake kawo ruwa daga Tafkin Tudu, kusa da hanyar Filin Mai Wanki.
And the king of the Assyrians sent Tharthan and Raphis and Rapsakes from Lachis to king Ezekias with a strong force against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is by the way of the fuller's field.
18 Suka kira sarki, sai Eliyakim ɗan Hilkiya sarkin fada, da Shebna magatakarda, da Yowa ɗan Asaf marubuci suka je wurinsu.
And they cried to Ezekias: and there came to him Heliakim the son of Chelcias the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and Joas the son of Saphat the recorder.
19 Jagoran dogarawan sarkin Assuriya ya ce musu, “Ku ce wa Hezekiya, “‘Ga abin da babban sarkin Assuriya ya ce, da wa kake taƙama?
And Rapsakes said to them, Say now to Ezekias, Thus says the king, the great king of the Assyrians, What [is] this confidence wherein you trust?
20 Ka ce kana da dabara da ƙarfin soji, amma bagu kawai kake yi. Da wa ka dogara har da za ka yi mini tawaye?
You have said, (but [they are] mere words, ) [I have] counsel and strength for war. Now then in whom do you trust, that you have revolted from me?
21 Na sani kana dogara da Masar, wadda take kamar karar masara, wadda in ka jingina a kai, za tă karye tă soki hannunka. Haka Fir’auna sarkin Masar yake ga dukan wanda ya dogara da shi.
See now, are you trusting for yourself on this broken staff of reed, [even] upon Egypt? whoever shall stay himself upon it, it shall even go into his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharao king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
22 Sai ya ci gaba da cewa, in kuma ka ce mini “Muna dogara ga Ubangiji Allahnmu ne,” ba masujadansa da bagadansa ne Hezekiya ya ciccire, yana ce wa Urushalima da Yahuda, “Dole ku yi sujada a gaban wannan bagade a Urushalima”?
And whereas you have said to me, We trust on the Lord God: [is] not this he, whose high places and altars Ezekias has removed, and has said to Juda and Jerusalem, You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
23 “‘Yanzu, ka zo ku shirya da shugabana, sarkin Assuriya. Zan ba ka dawakai dubu biyu, in za ka sami mahayansu!
And now, I pray you, make and agreement with my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you shall be able on your part to set riders upon them.
24 Yaya za ka yi tsayayya da mafi ƙanƙantan hafsan shugabana, ko da kana dogara da Masar don kekunan yaƙi da mahaya dawakai?
How then will you turn away the face of one petty governor, from amongst the least of my lord's servants? whereas you trust for yourself on Egypt for chariots and horsemen.
25 Ban da haka ma, kana gani cewa na zo in hallaka wannan wuri ne ba tare da na ji daga Ubangiji ba? Ubangiji da kansa ne ya ce da ni in kawo wa wannan ƙasa hari in hallaka ta.’”
And now have we come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
26 Sai Eliyakim ɗan Hilkiya, da Shebna, da Yowa suka ce wa jagoran dakarun, “Muna roƙonka ka yi wa bayinka magana da harshen Arameyik da yake muna ji. Kada ka yi mana magana da Yahudanci domin kada mutanen da suke bisa katanga su ji!”
And Heliakim the son of Chelkias, and Somnas, and Joas, said to Rapsakes, Speak now to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it; and speak not with us in the Jewish language: and why do you speak in the ears of the people that are on the wall?
27 Amma shugaban sojojin ya ce, “Ai, ba gare ku da sarkinku kaɗai ne shugabana ya aike ni ba. Amma har ga mutanen da suke zaune a kan katangar birnin, waɗanda za su ci kashinsu, su sha fitsarinsu!”
And Rapsakes said to them, Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? [has he] not [sent me] to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own water together with you.
28 Sai shugaban sojojin ya yi kira da Yahudanci ya ce, “Ku ji muryar babban sarki, sarkin Assuriya!
And Rapsakes stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and spoke, and said, Hear the words of the great king of the Assyrians:
29 Ga abin da sarki ya faɗa; kada ku bar Hezekiya yă ruɗe ku. Ba zai iya cetonku daga hannuna ba.
thus says the king, Let not Ezekias encourage you with words: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
30 Kada ku yarda Hezekiya yă rinjaye ku cewa ku dogara ga Allah, sa’ad da ya ce da ku, ‘Ba shakka Ubangiji zai cece mu; yana ce da ku birnin nan ba zai faɗa a hannun sarkin Assuriya ba.’
And let not Ezekias cause you to trust on the Lord, saying, The Lord will certainly deliver us; this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians: listen not to Ezekias:
31 “Kada ku saurari Hezekiya. Ga abin da sarkin Assuriya ya ce, ku shirya zaman lafiya da ni, ku fito zuwa wurina. Kowane ɗayanku kuwa zai ci’ya’yan inabinsa da’ya’yan ɓaurensa, yă kuma sha ruwa daga randarsa,
for thus says the king of the Assyrians, Gain my favour, and come forth to me, and every man shall drink [of the wine] of his own vine, and every man shall eat of his own fig tree, and shall drink water out of his own cistern;
32 har lokacin da zan zo in kwashe ku, in kai ku wata ƙasa mai kama da taku, ƙasa mai yalwar hatsi, da ruwan inabi, da abinci, da gonakin inabi, da itatuwan zaitun, da zuma, don ku rayu, kada ku mutu! “Kada ku saurari Hezekiya, don karya yake muku, sa’ad da ya ce, ‘Ubangiji zai cece mu.’
until I come and remove you to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, and bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil, and honey, and you shall live and not die: and do not you listen to Ezekias, for he deceives you, saying, The Lord shall deliver you.
33 Akwai allahn wata al’ummar da ya taɓa ceton ƙasarsa daga hannun sarkin Assuriya?
Have the Gods of the nations at all delivered each their own land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
34 Ina allolin Hamat da na Arfad? Ina allolin Sefarfayim, da na Hena, da na Iffa? Sun cece Samariya daga hannuna?
Where is the god of Haemath, and of Arphad? where is the god of Seppharvaim, Ana, and Aba? for have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
35 Wanne a cikin dukan allolin ƙasashen nan ya iya ceton ƙasarsa da gare ni? Shugaban sojojin ya kuma ci gaba da cewa, ta yaya Ubangiji zai ceci Urushalima daga hannuna?”
Who [is there] amongst all the gods of the countries, who have delivered their countries out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
36 Amma mutane suka yi shiru ba su amsa masa ba, domin sarki ya umarta cewa, “Kada ku amsa masa.”
But [the men] were silent, and answered him not a word: for [there was] a commandment of the king, saying, You shall not answer him.
37 Sai Eliyakim ɗan Hilkiya, sarkin fada, da Shebna magatakarda, da Yowa ɗan Asaf, marubuci, suka je wurin Hezekiya da tufafinsu a kece, suka faɗa masa abin da shugaban sojojin ya faɗa.
And Heliakim the son of Chelcias, the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and Joas the son of Saphat the recorder came in to Ezekias, having tore their garments; and they reported to him the words of Rapsakes.
