< 2 Sarakuna 4 >
1 Matar wani daga ƙungiyar annabawa ta yi wa Elisha kuka ta ce, “Mijina, bawanka, ya mutu, ka kuma san yadda ya girmama Ubangiji. Amma ga shi yanzu mai binsa bashi ya zo yă kwashe’ya’yana maza biyu su zama bayinsa.”
Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.
2 Elisha ya amsa mata ya ce, “Me kike so in yi miki? Ki faɗa mini, me kike da shi a gidanki?” Sai ta ce, “Baiwarka ba ta da kome a can, sai ɗan tulun man zaitun.”
Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.
3 Elisha ya ce, “Ki je wurin dukan maƙwabtanki, ki nemi tulunan da babu kome a ciki. Kada ki nemo kaɗan kawai.
Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.
4 Sa’an nan ki shiga ciki, ki kulle ƙofar da ke da’ya’yanki kuke ciki. Ku ɗuɗɗura man a dukan tulunan, sa’ad da kowanne ya cika, sai ki ajiye a gefe.”
Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.
5 Ta tashi ta shiga tare da’ya’yanta maza, suka kulle ƙofa.’Ya’yanta suka kawo mata tuluna, ita kuma tana ɗurawa.
So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them.
6 Da dukan tulunan suka cika, sai ta ce wa ɗanta, “Kawo mini wani tulu.” Amma ya amsa ya ce, “Ai, ba saura.” Sa’an nan man ya daina zuba.
And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.
7 Sai ta tafi ta faɗa wa mutumin Allah. Shi kuwa ya ce mata, “Tafi, ki sayar da man, ki biya bashinki. Ki biya bukatanki da na’ya’yanki da sauran da ya rage.”
So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.
8 Wata rana Elisha ya tafi Shunem. Akwai wata mai arziki a can wadda ta gayyace shi cin abinci. Sai ya zama duk lokacin da yake wucewa, yakan tsaya a can don cin abinci.
Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.
9 Ta ce wa mijinta, “Na san cewa wannan mutum da kullum yake zuwa nan mai tsarki ne na Allah.
And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day.
10 Bari mu yi ɗan ɗaki a rufin gida mu kuma sa masa gado da tebur da kujera da kuma fitila. Saboda a duk lokacin da ya zo wurinmu, sai yă sauka a can.”
So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there.
11 Wata rana da Elisha ya zo, sai ya haura ɗakinsa ya kwanta.
Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there.
12 Ya ce wa bawansa Gehazi, “Kira mutuniyar Shunam nan.” Sai ya kira ta, ta zo ta tsaya a gabansa.
And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.
13 Elisha ya ce masa, “Ka ce mata, ‘Kin yi duk wannan ɗawainiya saboda mu. Yanzu, me kike so a yi miki? Kina so mu yi magana a madadinki wa sarki ko babban hafsan mayaƙa?’” Sai ta ce, “A’a, ina da dukan abin da nake bukata a cikin jama’ata.”
And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.
14 Sai Elisha ya tambayi Gehazi ya ce, “Me za mu yi mata?” Sai ya amsa ya ce, “Ba ta da ɗa, ga shi kuma mijinta ya tsufa.”
So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.
15 Sai Elisha ya ce, “Ka kira ta.” Sai ya kira ta, ta zo ta tsaya a bakin ƙofa.
Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door.
16 Elisha ya ce mata, “War haka baɗi, za ki riƙe ɗa na kanki.” Sai ta ce masa, “A’a, ranka yă daɗe, mutumin Allah, kada ka ruɗi baiwarka!”
And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.
17 Amma matan ta yi ciki, a shekara ta biye kuwa a daidai lokacin, sai ta haifi ɗa kamar yadda Elisha ya faɗa mata.
Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.
18 Yaron ya yi girma, wata rana sai ya tafi wurin mahaifinsa, wanda yake tare da masu girbi.
Now one day, when the child was older, he went out to his father to where the grain was being cut.
19 Ba zato sai ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Wayyo! Kaina yana mini ciwo! Kaina yana mini ciwo!” Sai mahaifinsa ya ce wa bawansa, “Kai shi wurin mahaifiyarsa.”
And he said to his father, My head, my head! And the father said to a servant, Take him in to his mother.
20 Bayan bawan ya ɗaga shi ya kai wurin mahaifiyarsa, sai yaron ya zauna a cinyarta har tsakar rana, sa’an nan ya mutu.
And he took him in to his mother, and she took him on her knees and kept him there till the middle of the day, when his life went from him.
21 Sai ta haura ta shimfiɗa shi a gadon mutumin Allah, ta rufe ƙofar, ta fita.
Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God, shutting the door on him, and went out.
22 Ta kira mijinta ta ce, “Ina roƙonka ka aika mini da ɗaya daga cikin bayi da kuma jaka, don in yi sauri in je wurin mutumin Allah in dawo.”
And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.
23 Sai ya ce, “Me zai kai ki wurinsa, ai, yau ba Sabon Wata ba ne ko ranar Asabbaci?” Sai ta ce, “Ba kome.”
And he said, Why are you going to him today? it is not a new moon or a Sabbath. But she said, It is well.
24 Sai ta sa wa jakar sirdi ta ce wa bawanta, “Yi ta kora mini jakar, kada ka sassauta, sai na faɗa maka.”
Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.
25 Ta haka ta kama hanya ta tafi wurin mutumin Allah a Dutsen Karmel. Da ya hange ta daga nesa, sai mutumin Allah ya ce wa bawansa Gehazi, “Duba! Ga mutuniyar Shunam nan can!
So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;
26 Ka yi gudu ka tarye ta ka tambaye ta, ‘Lafiyarki? Mijinki yana nan lafiya? Yaronki yana nan lafiya?’” Ta amsa ta ce, “Kome lafiya yake.”
Go quickly to her, and on meeting her say to her, Are you well? and your husband and the child, are they well? And she said in answer, All is well.
27 Da ta isa wurin mutumin Allah a dutsen, sai ta kama ƙafafunsa. Sai Gehazi ya zo don yă ture ta, amma mutumin Allah ya ce, “Ka bar ta! Tana cikin baƙin ciki ƙwarai, amma Ubangiji ya ɓoye mini, bai kuma faɗa mini me ya sa ba.”
And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.
28 Sai ta tambaya shi ta ce, “Na roƙe ka ɗa ne, ranka yă daɗe? Ba na ce maka, ‘Kada ka sa in fara bege ba’?”
Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?
29 Elisha ya ce wa Gehazi, “Ka yi ɗamara, ka ɗauki sandana ka ruga a guje. Idan ka sadu da wani, kada ka gaishe shi, idan kuma wani ya gaishe ka, kada ka amsa. Ka shimfiɗa sandana a fuskar yaron.”
Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.
30 Amma mahaifiyar yaron ta ce, “Muddin Ubangiji yana raye, kai kuma kana a raye, ba zan bar ka ba.” Saboda haka ya tashi ya bi ta.
But the mother of the child said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not go back without you. So he got up and went with her.
31 Gehazi ya yi gaba, ya shimfiɗa sandan a fuskar yaron, amma babu motsi, babu alamar rai. Saboda haka Gehazi ya koma ya taryi Elisha, ya faɗa masa, “Yaron bai tashi ba.”
And Gehazi went on before them and put the stick on the child's face; but there was no voice, and no one gave attention. So he went back, and meeting him gave him the news, saying, The child is not awake.
32 Da Elisha ya isa gidan, sai ga gawar yaron kwance a kan gadonsa.
And when Elisha came into the house he saw the child dead, stretched on his bed.
33 Sai ya shiga, ya rufe ƙofa, daga shi sai yaron, ya kuma yi addu’a ga Ubangiji.
So he went in, and shutting the door on the two of them, made prayer to the Lord.
34 Sa’an nan ya hau gadon yă kwanta a bisa yaron, ya miƙe a kansa, baki da baki, ido da ido, hannu da hannu. Yayinda ya miƙe kansa a kan yaron, sai jikin yaron ya ɗau ɗumi.
Then he got up on the bed, stretching himself out on the child, and put his mouth on the child's mouth, his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands; and the child's body became warm.
35 Elisha ya tashi, ya yi ta kai komo a cikin ɗakin. Sa’an nan ya sāke koma kan gadon yă miƙe a kan yaron, sai yaron ya yi atishawa sau bakwai, ya kuma buɗe idanunsa.
Then he came back, and after walking once through the house and back, he went up, stretching himself out on the child seven times; and the child's eyes became open.
36 Elisha ya kira Gehazi ya ce, “Kirawo mutuniyar Shunam.” Ya kuwa kira ta. Sa’ad da ta zo, sai Elisha ya ce mata, “Ɗauki ɗanki.”
And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.
37 Sai ta shiga, ta fāɗi a ƙafafunsa ta rusuna har ƙasa. Sa’an nan ta ɗauki ɗanta ta fita.
And she came in, and went down on her face to the earth at his feet; then she took her son in her arms and went out.
38 Sai Elisha ya koma Gilgal, a can kuwa ana yunwa a yankin. Yayinda ƙungiyar annabawa suke tattaunawa da shi, sai ya ce wa Gehazi bawansa, “Ka sa babban tukunya a wuta, ka yi wa mutanen nan fate.”
And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.
39 Ɗaya daga cikin mutanen ya shiga gona don neman ganyaye, ya kuwa sami kabewar jeji. Ya tsinko’ya’yanta cike da shafin rigarsa. Da ya dawo, sai ya yayyanka su ya zuba a cikin tukunyar faten, ko da yake ba wanda ya san ko mene ne.
And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.
40 Sai aka zuba wa mutanen faten, amma da suka fara ci, sai suka yi ihu suna cewa, “Ya mutumin Allah, akwai dafi a cikin tukunyan nan!” Suka kuwa kāsa ci.
Then they gave the men soup from the pot. And while they were drinking the soup, they gave a cry, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot; and they were not able to take any more food.
41 Elisha ya ce, “Samo mini ɗan gari.” Aka kawo masa ya kuma sa a cikin tukunyan ya ce, “Raba wa mutanen su ci.” Ya kasance kuwa babu wani abin damuwa a tukunyar.
But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.
42 Sai ga wani mutum ya zo daga Ba’al-Shalisha, ya kawo wa Elisha dunƙulen burodi guda ashirin na sha’ir da aka gasa daga nunan fari na hatsi, tare da kawunan sababbin hatsi. Sai Elisha ya ce, “Ka ba mutanen su ci.”
Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.
43 Sai bawansa ya ce, “Yaya zan raba wa mutane ɗari wannan?” Amma Elisha ya amsa ya ce, “Ka raba wa mutane su ci, gama haka Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Za su ci har su bar saura.’”
But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.
44 Sa’an nan ya ajiye a gabansu, suka kuwa ci har suka bar saura, bisa ga maganar Ubangiji.
So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.
