< 2 Sarakuna 6 >
1 Sai ƙungiyar annabawa suka ce wa Elisha, “Duba, wurin da muke taruwa ya kāsa mana.
And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2 Bari mu je Urdun, inda kowannenmu zai saro itace; mu gina inda za mu zauna.” Sai ya ce musu, “Ku je.”
Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3 Sai ɗayansu ya ce, “Ba za ka zo tare da bayinka ba?” Sai Elisha ya ce “Zan zo.”
And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, 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 cut down wood.
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 as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for 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.
And the man of Elohim said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
7 Sai ya ce masa, “Ka ɗauko.” Sai mutumin ya miƙa hannu ya ɗauka.
Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And 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.”
Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
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 Elohim sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
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.
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of Elohim told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
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?”
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for 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 his servants said, None, my master, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
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.”
And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Sai ya aika da dawakai da kekunan yaƙi da babban rukunin soja zuwa can. Suka bi dare, suka kewaye birnin.
Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
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?”
And when the servant of the man of Elohim was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 Sai annabin ya ce, “Kada ka ji tsoro, waɗanda suke tare da mu sun fi waɗanda suke tare da su.”
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be 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.
And Elisha prayed, and said, YHWH, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And YHWH opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about 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.
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto YHWH, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote 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 said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But 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.
And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, YHWH, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And YHWH opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst 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 said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite 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.”
And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat 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.
And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
24 Bayan wani lokaci, Ben-Hadad sarkin Aram ya tattara dukan rundunarsa, ya je ya kewaye Samariya da yaƙi.
And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged 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.
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces 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 as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my master, O 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 YHWH do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of 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.’
And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
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 did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid 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.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon 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, Elohim do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him 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 sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet 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?”
And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of YHWH; what should I wait for YHWH any longer?
