2 Sarakuna 3
1 Yoram, ɗan Ahab ya zama sarki Isra’ila, a Samariya, a shekara ta goma sha takwas ta mulkin Yehoshafat, sarkin Yahuda, ya kuma yi mulki shekara goma sha biyu.
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2 Yoram ya aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji, amma ba kamar yadda mahaifinsa da mahaifiyarsa suka yi ba. Ya kawar da dutsen tsarkin Ba’al wanda mahaifinsa ya yi.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, but not like his father and like his mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3 Duk da haka ya manne wa zunuban Yerobowam ɗan Nebat, wanda ya sa Isra’ila ta aikata, bai rabu da su ba.
Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from them.
4 Mesha, sarkin Mowab yana kiwon tumaki, ya kuma zama tilas yă biya haraji ga sarkin Isra’ila. Saboda haka yakan ba da’yan tumaki dubu ɗari, da kuma gashin raguna dubu ɗari.
Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he supplied the king of Israel with one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.
5 Amma bayan mutuwar Ahab, sai sarkin Mowab ya yi wa sarkin Isra’ila tawaye.
But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 To, a lokacin, Sarki Yoram ya tashi daga Samariya, ya tattara sojoji daga dukan Isra’ila.
King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
7 Ya kuma aika da wannan saƙo ga Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda cewa, “Sarkin Mowab ya yi mini tawaye. Za ka tafi tare da ni mu yaƙi Mowab?” Sai sarkin Yahuda ya ce, “I, ina shirye mu tafi. Ai, sojojina sojojinka ne, dawakaina kuma dawakanka ne.”
He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” He said, “I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
8 Ya ƙara da cewa, “Wace hanya za mu bi?” Sai Yoram ya amsa ya ce, “Ta hanyar jejin Edom.”
Then he said, “Which way shall we go up?” Jehoram answered, “The way of the wilderness of Edom.”
9 Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya fita tare da sarkin Yahuda, da kuma sarkin Edom. Da suka yi kwana bakwai suna ta zagawa, sai sojoji da dabbobi suka rasa ruwan sha.
So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched for seven days along a circuitous route. There was no water for the army or for the animals that followed them.
10 Sai sarkin Isra’ila ya ce, “Mene! Ubangiji ya kira mu sarakunan nan uku don kawai yă ba da mu ga Mowab ne?”
The king of Israel said, “Alas! For the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
11 Amma Yehoshafat ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Babu wani annabin Ubangiji a nan da za mu nemi nufin Ubangiji ta wurinsa?” Wani hafsan sarkin Isra’ila ya amsa ya ce, “Ai, akwai Elisha ɗan Shafat, wanda dā ya yi wa Iliya hidima.”
But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there a prophet of the LORD here, that we may enquire of the LORD by him?” One of the king of Israel’s servants answered, “Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here.”
12 Yehoshafat ya ce, “Maganar Ubangiji tana tare da shi.” Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila da Yehoshafat da kuma sarkin Edom suka tafi wurin Elisha.
Jehoshaphat said, “The LORD’s word is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 Elisha ya ce wa sarkin Isra’ila, “Ina ruwana da kai? Tafi wurin annabawan mahaifinka da annabawa mahaifiyarka.” Sai sarkin Isra’ila ya ce, “A’a, ai Ubangiji ne ya kira mu, mu sarakunan nan uku don yă bashe mu ga Mowab.”
Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The king of Israel said to him, “No, for the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
14 Sai Elisha ya ce, “Muddin Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana a raye, wanda nake bauta, da ba don ina ganin girman Yehoshafat Sarkin Yahuda ba, da ko kallonka ba zan yi ba.
Elisha said, “As the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look towards you, nor see you.
15 Amma yanzu, a kawo mini makaɗin garaya.” Yayinda makaɗin garayan yake kiɗa, ikon Ubangiji ya sauko a kan Elisha
But now bring me a musician.” When the musician played, the LORD’s hand came on him.
16 ya kuma ce, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, zan cika kwarin nan da tafkunan ruwa.
He said, “The LORD says, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’
17 Gama ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ko da yake babu iska, ko ruwan sama, duk da haka kwarin nan zai cika da ruwa, har ku da dabbobinku da kuma sauran dabbobi ku sha.
For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your other animals.
18 Wannan abu mai sauƙi ne a wurin Ubangiji; zai kuma ba da Mowab a gare ku.
This is an easy thing in the LORD’s sight. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
19 Za ku ci kowane birni mai katanga, da kowane babban gari. Za ku sare kowane itace mai kyau, ku kuma tattoshe maɓuɓɓugan ruwa. Za ku kuma yi amfani da duwatsu ku lalatar da kowace gona mai kyau.”
You shall strike every fortified city and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.’”
20 Kashegari, daidai lokacin hadaya, sai ga ruwa yana gangarowa daga gefen Edom! Ƙasar kuwa ta cika da ruwa.
In the morning, about the time of offering the sacrifice, behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 To, dukan Mowabawa suka ji cewa sarakuna suna tafe don su yaƙe su; saboda haka aka kira kowane namiji, babba da yaro, wanda ya isa ɗaukan makami, aka jera su a bakin iyaka.
Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armour, young and old, and stood on the border.
22 Da suka tashi da sassafe, rana tana haska ruwa. Sai ruwan ya yi ja kamar jini a idanun Mowabawan da suke a ƙetare.
They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood.
23 Sai suka ce, “Jini ne! Ba shakka sarakunan nan sun yaƙe juna, suka karkashe juna. Ya Mowabawa, mu tafi mu kwashi ganima!”
They said, “This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the plunder!”
24 Amma da Mowabawa suka isa sansanin Isra’ila, sai Isra’ilawa suka taso suka auka musu har sai da suka gudu. Isra’ilawa kuwa suka kai musu hari, suka karkashe Mowabawa.
When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land attacking the Moabites.
25 Suka ragargaza garuruwa, kowane mutum kuwa ya jefa dutse a kowane gona mai kyau har sai da aka rufe gonakin gaba ɗaya. Suka tattoshe duk maɓulɓulan ruwa, suka kuma sare duk itace mai kyau. Kir Hareset ne kaɗai aka bari tare da duwatsunsa yadda suke, amma mutanen da suke da majajjawa suka yi wa birnin zobe, suka kai masa hari shi ma.
They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone, and filled it. They also stopped all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth all they left was its stones; however the men armed with slings went around it and attacked it.
26 Da sarkin Mowab ya ga yaƙi ya rinjaye shi, sai ya ɗauki mutane masu takobi ɗari bakwai, ya ratsa zuwa wajen sarkin Edom, amma ba su yi nasara ba.
When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew a sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.
27 Sa’an nan ya ɗauki ɗansa na fari, wanda zai gāje shi, ya yi hadaya da shi a bisa katangan birnin. Isra’ilawa suka firgita ƙwarai; sai suka janye suka koma ƙasarsu.
Then he took his oldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
