2 Sarakuna 2
1 Da lokaci ya yi da Ubangiji zai ɗauki Iliya zuwa sama cikin guguwa, Iliya da Elisha kuwa suna kan hanyarsu daga Gilgal.
When Yahweh was about to take [the prophet] Elijah up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind), Elijah and [his fellow prophet] Elisha were traveling [south] from Gilgal [town].
2 Sai Iliya ya ce wa Elisha, “Ka dakata a nan; Ubangiji ya aike ni Betel.” Amma Elisha ya amsa ya ce, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, kai kuma kana a raye, ba zan rabu da kai ba.” Saboda haka suka gangara zuwa Betel.
Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Bethel [town].” But Elisha replied, “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went down [together] to Bethel.
3 Sai ƙungiyar annabawa a Betel suka fito zuwa wajen Elisha suka ce masa, “Ka san cewa Ubangiji zai ɗauki maigidanka daga wurinka yau?” Sai ya ce, “I, na sani, amma kada ku yi magana game da wannan.”
A group of prophets came to Elisha [and Elijah before they entered the town], and they asked Elisha, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” Elisha answered, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
4 Sai Iliya ya ce masa, “Ka dakata a nan Elisha; Ubangiji ya aike ni Yeriko.” Sai ya ce masa, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, kai ma kana a raye, ba zan rabu da kai ba.” Saboda haka sai suka tafi Yeriko.
Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to Jericho.” But Elisha replied [again], “Just as certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they went [together] to Jericho [city].
5 Ƙungiyar annabawa a Yeriko suka haura zuwa wajen Elisha suka ce, “Ko ka san Ubangiji zai ɗauki maigidanka daga gare ka yau?” Sai ya ce, “I, na sani, amma ku bar zancen nan tukuna.”
[As they neared] Jericho, a group of prophets who were from there came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that Yahweh is going to take your master/boss [Elijah] away from you today?” He answered again, “Certainly I know that, but don’t talk about it!” [IDM]
6 Sai Iliya ya ce masa, “Ka dakata a nan, Ubangiji ya aike ni Urdun.” Sai Elisha ya ce masa, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, kai kuma kana raye, ba zan rabu da kai ba.” Saboda haka suka ci gaba da tafiya tare.
Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, because Yahweh has told [only] me to go to the Jordan [River].” But [again] Elisha replied, “As certainly as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not leave you!” So they continued walking together.
7 Mutum hamsin na ƙungiyar annabawa suka je suka tsaya da nisa, suna fuskantar inda Iliya da Elisha suka tsaya a Urdun.
Fifty men from a group of prophets [who were from Jericho] also went, but they watched from a distance as Elijah and Elisha stopped at the edge of the Jordan [River].
8 Sai Iliya ya tuɓe rigarsa, ya nannaɗe ya bugi ruwan Urdun da shi. Sai ruwan ya dāre gida biyu, suka haye a busasshiyar ƙasa.
Then Elijah rolled up his cloak and struck the water with it. A path opened up for them through the river, and they walked across [as though they were] on dry ground.
9 Da suka haye, sai Iliya ya ce wa Elisha, “Faɗi mini, abin da kake so in yi maka kafin a ɗauke ni daga gare ka!” Elisha ya amsa ya ce, “Bari in gāji ninki biyu na ruhunka.”
When they came to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, “What do you want me to do for you before (I am taken away/Yahweh takes me away)?” Elisha replied, “I want to receive twice as much of your power [as you have had, ] (OR enable me to very powerfully continue your ministry).”
10 Iliya ya ce, “Ka nemi abu mai wuya, amma in ka ga lokacin da aka ɗauke ni daga gare ka, zai zama naka, in ba haka ba, ba za ka samu ba ke nan.”
Elijah replied, “You have asked for something which is difficult [for me to cause to happen]. But, if you see me when (I am taken from you/Yahweh takes me from you), you will get what you are requesting. But if you do not see me, then you will not get it.”
11 Yayinda suke tafiya suna magana, sai kwatsam, keken yaƙin wuta da dawakan wuta suka ratse tsakaninsu, sai Iliya ya tafi sama a cikin guguwa.
As they were walking and talking, suddenly a chariot that had fire [surrounding it], pulled by horses which also had fire [surrounding them], appeared. [The chariot driver] drove the chariot between Elijah and Elisha and separated them. Then Elijah was taken up to heaven in a (whirlwind/twisting wind).
12 Da Elisha ya ga haka sai ya yi ihu yana cewa, “Babana! Babana! Kekunan yaƙin da mahayan dawakan Isra’ila!” Elisha kuwa bai sāke ganinsa ba. Sai ya kama tufafinsa ya yayyage.
Elisha saw it. He cried out, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [have taken my master away]!” [They disappeared into the sky, ] and Elisha never saw Elijah again. Then Elisha tore his own robe into two pieces [to show that he was sad].
13 Sai ya ɗauki rigar da ta fāɗo daga Iliya ya koma ya tsaya a gaɓar Kogin Urdun.
Elijah’s cloak [had fallen off when he was taken away, so] Elisha picked it up and returned to the bank of the Jordan [River].
14 Sa’an nan Elisha ya ɗauki rigar da ta fāɗo daga Iliya ya bugi ruwan da shi. Ya ce, “Yanzu ina Ubangiji Allah na Iliya?” Da ya bugi ruwan sai ruwan ya dāre gida biyu, sai ya haye.
He [rolled up the cloak and] struck the water with it, and cried out, “Will Yahweh, the God who [enabled] Elijah [to perform miracles, enable me to do similar things]?” Then the water separated, and a path opened up for him, and Elisha went across.
15 Ƙungiyar annabawa daga Yeriko, waɗanda suke kallo, suka ce, “Ruhun Iliya yana a kan Elisha.” Sai suka je su tarye shi, suka rusuna har ƙasa a gabansa.
When the group of prophets from Jericho saw what happened, they exclaimed, “Elisha now has the power that Elijah had!” [MTY] They walked over to him and bowed down in front of him.
16 Suka ce, “Duba, mu bayinka muna da masu ji da ƙarfi hamsin. Bari su je su nemi maigidanka. Wataƙila, Ruhun Ubangiji ya ɗauke shi ya ajiye bisa wani dutse, ko wani kwari.” Elisha ya ce, “A’a, kada ku aike su.”
[One of] them said, “Sir, if you permit us, 50 of our strongest men will go and search for your master [on the other side of the river]. Perhaps the Spirit of Yahweh has left him on some mountain or in some valley.” Elisha replied, “No, do not send them.”
17 Amma suka matsa masa har ya ji ba ya iya hana su. Saboda haka ya ce, “Ku aike su.” Sai suka aiki mutane hamsin, suka yi ta nema har kwana uku amma ba su same Iliya ba.
But they kept insisting. Finally he was tired of saying “No,” and he said, “Okay, send them.” So 50 men searched for three days, but they did not find Elijah.
18 Da suka dawo wurin Elisha, wanda yake a Yeriko, sai ya ce musu, “Ban ce muku kada ku tafi ba?”
They returned to Jericho, and Elisha was still there. He said to them, “I told you that you should not go, [because you would not find him]!” [RHQ]
19 Mutane garin suka ce wa Elisha, “Ranka yă daɗe, duba, garin yana da kyan gani, amma ruwan ba shi da kyau, ƙasar kuma ba ta ba da amfani.”
Then the leaders of [Jericho] city came to talk with Elisha. One of them said, “Our master, we have a problem. You can see that this is a very nice place [to live in]. But the water is bad, and as a result, crops will not grow on the land.”
20 Sai ya ce, “Ku kawo mini sabuwar ƙwarya, ku kuma sa gishiri a ciki.” Sai suka kawo masa.
Elisha said to them, “Put some salt in a new bowl and bring the bowl to me.” So they brought it to him.
21 Sai ya tafi maɓulɓular ruwan yana watsa gishirin a ciki, yana cewa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Na warkar da ruwan nan. Ba zai ƙara jawo mutuwa, ko yă hana ƙasar ba da amfani ba.’”
Then he went out to the spring [from which the people in the town got water]. He threw the salt into the spring. Then he said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘I have made this water good/pure. No longer will anyone die, from having drunk this water, and now crops will be able to grow.’” [LIT]
22 Ruwan ya tsabtacce har yă zuwa yau, bisa ga faɗin Elisha.
And the water became pure, just as Elisha said it would be. Since that time it has always remained pure.
23 Daga nan sai Elisha ya tafi Betel. Yayinda yake tafiya a hanya, sai waɗansu matasa suka fito daga cikin gari, suka yi masa dariya suna cewa, “Ka haura, ya kai mai kai marar gashi! Ka haura, kai mai kai marar gashi!”
Elisha left Jericho and went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, a group of young boys from Bethel [saw him and] started to make fun of him. They continued shouting, “Go away, you bald-headed man!”
24 Sai ya juya ya dube su, ya la’anta su da sunan Ubangiji. Sai beyar guda biyu suka fito daga jeji suka hallaka matasa arba’in da biyu daga cikinsu.
Elisha turned around and looked/glared at them. He asked Yahweh to (curse them/do something bad to them). Immediately two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of them.
25 Sai ya ci gaba zuwa Dutsen Karmel, daga can kuma ya koma Samariya.
Elisha left Bethel and went to Carmel Mountain, and after that he returned to Samaria [city].
