2 Sarakuna 6
1 Sai ƙungiyar annabawa suka ce wa Elisha, “Duba, wurin da muke taruwa ya kāsa mana.
Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please take note that the place where we meet with you is too small for us.
2 Bari mu je Urdun, inda kowannenmu zai saro itace; mu gina inda za mu zauna.” Sai ya ce musu, “Ku je.”
Please let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a log so we can build ourselves a place to live there.” “Go,” said Elisha.
3 Sai ɗayansu ya ce, “Ba za ka zo tare da bayinka ba?” Sai Elisha ya ce “Zan zo.”
Then one of them said, “Please come with your servants.” “I will come,” he replied.
4 Ya kuma tafi tare da su. Suka tafi Urdun suka fara saran itatuwa.
So Elisha went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down some trees.
5 Yayinda ɗayansu yake cikin saran itace, sai kan gatarin ya fāɗi a ruwa, sai ya ce, “Kash, ranka yă daɗe, kayan aro ne fa!”
As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water. “Oh, my master,” he cried out, “it was borrowed!”
6 Sai mutumin Allah ya ce, “Daidai ina ya fāɗa?” Da ya nuna masa wurin, sai Elisha ya yanka ɗan sanda ya jefa a wurin, ya sa kan gatarin ya taso sama.
“Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. And when he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron float.
7 Sai ya ce masa, “Ka ɗauko.” Sai mutumin ya miƙa hannu ya ɗauka.
“Lift it out,” he said, and the man reached out his hand and took it.
8 To, fa, sarkin Aram yana yaƙi da Isra’ila. Bayan ya tattauna da hafsoshinsa, sai ya ce, “Zan kafa sansanina a wurin kaza da kaza.”
Now the king of Aram was at war against Israel. After consulting with his servants, he said, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
9 Sai mutumin Allah ya aika wa sarkin Isra’ila cewa, “Ka yi hankali da wuce wuri kaza, domin Arameyawa za su gangara can.”
Then the man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
10 Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya lura da inda mutumin Allah ya ambata. Sau da sau Elisha yakan yi wa sarki kashedi, don haka ya riƙa taka yi tsantsan a wuraren nan.
So the king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God had pointed out. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places.
11 Wannan ya husata sarkin Aram. Ya kira hafsoshinsa ya tambaye su ya ce, “Ku faɗa mini, wane ne a cikinmu yake gefen sarkin Isra’ila?”
For this reason the king of Aram became enraged and called his servants to demand of them, “Tell me, which one of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”
12 Sai ɗaya daga cikin hafsoshinsa ya ce, “Babu waninmu, ranka yă daɗe; Elisha, annabin da yake a Isra’ila ne, yake faɗa wa sarkin Isra’ila dukan zancen da ka yi a ɗakinka.”
But one of his servants replied, “No one, my lord the king. For Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”
13 Sai sarki ya ba da umarni ya ce, “Ku je ku tabbatar da inda yake don in aika mutane a kamo shi.” Sai ya sami rahoto cewa, “Yana a Dotan.”
So the king said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send men to capture him.” On receiving the report, “Elisha is in Dothan,”
14 Sai ya aika da dawakai da kekunan yaƙi da babban rukunin soja zuwa can. Suka bi dare, suka kewaye birnin.
the king of Aram sent horses, chariots, and a great army. They went there by night and surrounded the city.
15 Sa’ad da bawan mutumin Allah ya farka ya kuma fita kashegari da sassafe, sai ga mayaƙa tare da dawakai da kekunan yaƙi sun kewaye birni. Sai bawan ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe! Me za mu yi?”
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
16 Sai annabin ya ce, “Kada ka ji tsoro, waɗanda suke tare da mu sun fi waɗanda suke tare da su.”
“Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 Sa’an nan Elisha ya yi addu’a ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, ka buɗe idanunsa yă gani!” Sai Ubangiji ya buɗe idanun bawan, ya duba, ya ga tuddai cike da dawakai da keken yaƙin wuta kewaye da Elisha.
Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
18 Yayinda abokan gāba suka gangaro wajensa, sai Elisha ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ka sa mutanen nan su zama makafi.” Sai Ubangiji ya buge su da makanta kamar yadda Elisha ya roƙa.
As the Arameans came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So He struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
19 Elisha ya ce musu, “Wannan ba ita ce hanyar ba, ba kuma gari ke nan ba, ku bi ni, zan kuwa kai ku wurin mutumin da kuke nema!” Sai ya kai su Samariya.
And Elisha told them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are seeking.” And he led them to Samaria.
20 Bayan suka shiga birnin, sai Elisha ya ce, “Ubangiji, ka buɗe idanun mutanen nan don su gani.” Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya buɗe idanunsu suka ga kansu a tsakiyar Samariya.
When they had entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O LORD, open the eyes of these men that they may see.” Then the LORD opened their eyes, and they looked around and discovered that they were in Samaria.
21 Da sarkin Isra’ila ya gan su, sai ya tambayi Elisha ya ce, “In kashe su ne, mahaifina? In kashe su?”
And when the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
22 Elisha ya ce, “Kada ka kashe su. Za ka kashe mutanen da ka kame da takobi ko bakanka? Ka ba su abinci da ruwa su ci, su sha, sa’an nan su koma wurin maigidansu.”
“Do not kill them,” he replied. “Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and then return to their master.”
23 Saboda haka aka shirya musu babban liyafa, bayan sun ci, suka kuma sha, sai ya tura su zuwa wurin maigidansu. Ta haka’yan harin Aram suka daina kai hari a yankin Isra’ila.
So the king prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. And the Aramean raiders did not come into the land of Israel again.
24 Bayan wani lokaci, Ben-Hadad sarkin Aram ya tattara dukan rundunarsa, ya je ya kewaye Samariya da yaƙi.
Some time later, Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army and marched up to besiege Samaria.
25 Aka yi babban yunwa a cikin birnin. Saboda daɗewar wannan kewayewar da aka yi wa birnin, sai yunwa ta ɓarke a birnin, har ana sayar da kan jaki a kan shekel tamanin, kashin kurciya kuma a kan shekel biyar.
So there was a great famine in Samaria. Indeed, they besieged the city so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter cab of dove’s dung sold for five shekels of silver.
26 Yayinda sarkin Isra’ila yake wucewa kusa da katanga, sai wata mace ta yi masa kuka ta ce, “Ka taimake ni, ranka yă daɗe, sarki!”
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
27 Sai sarki ya amsa ya ce, “In Ubangiji bai taimake ki ba, me zan iya yi? Ina da hatsi ko ruwan inabin da zan ba ki ne?”
He answered, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”
28 Sa’an nan ya tambaye ta ya ce, “Me ya faru?” Sai ta amsa ta ce, “Wannan mace ta ce mini, ‘Kawo ɗanki mu ci yau, gobe kuwa mu ci ɗana.’
Then the king asked her, “What is the matter?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him, and tomorrow we will eat my son.’
29 Saboda haka muka dafa ɗana muka ci. Kashegari na ce mata, ‘Kawo ɗanki mu ci,’ amma ta ɓoye shi.”
So we boiled my son and ate him, and the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him.’ But she had hidden her son.”
30 Da sarki ya ji maganar macen sai ya yage rigunansa. Sa’ad da sarki yake wucewa a kan katangar birnin, sai mutane suka gan yana saye da rigar makoki a ciki.
When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. And as he passed by on the wall, the people saw the sackcloth under his clothes next to his skin.
31 Ya ce, “Bari Allah yă yi mini hukunci mai tsanani har ma fiye da haka, idan ban cire kan Elisha ɗan Shafat yau ba!”
He announced, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders through this day!”
32 To, Elisha yana zaune a cikin gidansa, dattawa kuwa suna zaune tare da shi. Sai sarki ya aiki ɗan aika yă ci gaba, amma kafin ɗan aikan yă isa, Elisha ya ce wa dattawan, “Kun gani ko? Wannan mai kisa ya aiko a cire mini kai! To, idan ɗan aikan ya iso, sai ku rufe ƙofar da ƙarfi, ku bar shi a waje. Ba da jimawa ba, maigidansa zai bi bayansa?”
Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a messenger ahead, but before he arrived, Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?”
33 Yana magana da su ke nan, sai ga ɗan aikan ya gangaro wajensa. Sarki kuma ya ce, “Wannan bala’in daga wurin Ubangiji ya fito. Don me zan sa zuciya ga Ubangiji kuma?”
While Elisha was still speaking with them, the messenger came down to him. And the king said, “This calamity is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
