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, There is not room enough for us in the place where we are living under your care;
2 Bari mu je Urdun, inda kowannenmu zai saro itace; mu gina inda za mu zauna.” Sai ya ce musu, “Ku je.”
So let us go to Jordan, and let everyone get to work cutting boards, and we will make a living-place for ourselves there. And he said to them, Go, then.
3 Sai ɗayansu ya ce, “Ba za ka zo tare da bayinka ba?” Sai Elisha ya ce “Zan zo.”
And one of them said, Be pleased to go with your servants. And he said, I will go.
4 Ya kuma tafi tare da su. Suka tafi Urdun suka fara saran itatuwa.
So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they got to work cutting down 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!”
But one of them, while cutting a board, let the head of his axe go into the water; and he gave a cry, and said, This is a bad business, my master, for it is another's.
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.
And the man of God said, Where did it go in? and when he saw the place where it had gone into the water, cutting a stick, he put it into the water, and the iron came up to the top of the water.
7 Sai ya ce masa, “Ka ɗauko.” Sai mutumin ya miƙa hannu ya ɗauka.
Then he said, Take it up. So he put 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.”
At that time the king of Aram was making war against Israel; and he had a meeting with the chiefs of his army and said, I will be waiting in secret in some named 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.”
And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Take care to keep away from that place, for the Aramaeans are waiting there in secret.
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 to the place where the man of God had said there was danger, and kept clear of it more than once.
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?”
And at this, the mind of the king of Aram was greatly troubled, and he sent for his servants and said to them, Will you not make clear to me which of us is helping 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.”
And one of them said, Not one of us, my lord king; but Elisha, the prophet in Israel, gives the king of Israel news of the words you say even 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.”
Then he said, Go and see where he is, so that I may send and get him. And news came to him that he was in Dothan.
14 Sai ya aika da dawakai da kekunan yaƙi da babban rukunin soja zuwa can. Suka bi dare, suka kewaye birnin.
So he sent there horses and carriages and a great army; and they came by night, circling the town.
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?”
Now the servant of the man of God, having got up early and gone out, saw an army with horses and carriages of war all round the town. And the servant said to him, O 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.”
And he said in answer, Have no fear; 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 made a prayer to the Lord, saying, Lord, let his eyes be open so that he may see. And the Lord made the young man's eyes open; and he saw that all the mountain was full of horses and carriages of fire round 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.
Now when the Aramaeans came down to Elisha, he made a prayer to the Lord saying, Lord, make this people blind. And he made them blind at Elisha's request.
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 said to them, This is not the way, and this is not the town: come after me so that I may take you to the man you are searching for. And he took 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.
And when they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, Lord, let the eyes of these men be open so that they may see. And the Lord made their eyes open, and they saw that they were in the middle of Samaria.
21 Da sarkin Isra’ila ya gan su, sai ya tambayi Elisha ya ce, “In kashe su ne, mahaifina? In kashe su?”
And the king of Israel, when he saw them, said to Elisha, My father, am I to put them to the sword?
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.”
But he said in answer, You are not to put them to death; have you any right to put to death those whom you have not taken prisoner with your sword and your bow? put bread and water before them, so that they may have food and drink and go 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 he made ready a great feast for them, and when they had had food and drink, he sent them away and they went back to their master. And no more bands of Aramaeans came into the land of Israel.
24 Bayan wani lokaci, Ben-Hadad sarkin Aram ya tattara dukan rundunarsa, ya je ya kewaye Samariya da yaƙi.
Now after this, Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got together all his army and went up to make an attack on Samaria, shutting the town in on all sides with his forces.
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.
And they became very short of food in Samaria; for they kept it shut in till the price of an ass's head was eighty shekels of silver, and a small measure of doves' droppings was 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!”
And when the king of Israel was going by on the wall, a woman came crying out to him, and said, Help! my lord 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?”
And he said, If the Lord does not give you help, where am I to get help for you? from the grain-floor or the grape-crusher?
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.’
And the king said to her, What is troubling you? And she said in answer, This woman said to me, Give your son to be our food today, and we will have my son tomorrow.
29 Saboda haka muka dafa ɗana muka ci. Kashegari na ce mata, ‘Kawo ɗanki mu ci,’ amma ta ɓoye shi.”
So, boiling my son, we had a meal of him; and on the day after I said to her, Now give your son for our food; but she has put her son in a secret place.
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.
Then the king, hearing what the woman said, took his robes in his hands, violently parting them; and, while he was walking on the wall, the people, looking, saw that under his robe he had haircloth on his flesh.
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!”
Then he said, May God's punishment come on me if Elisha, the son of Shaphat, keeps his head on his body after 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?”
But Elisha was in his house, and the responsible men were seated there with him; and before the king got there, Elisha said to those who were with him, Do you see how this cruel and violent man has sent to take away my life?
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 he was still talking to them, the king came down and said, This evil is from the Lord; why am I to go on waiting any longer for the Lord?
