< 2 Sarakuna 7 >
1 Sai Elisha ya ce, “Ku ji maganar Ubangiji. Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, gobe war haka, za a sayar da mudun gari mai laushi a farashin shekel guda, mudu biyu na sha’ir kuma a shekel ɗaya a ƙofar birnin Samariya.”
Then Elisha said, Give ear to the word of the Lord: the Lord says, Tomorrow, about this time, a measure of good meal will be offered for the price of a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the market-place of Samaria.
2 Sai wani hafsa mataimakin sarki ya ce wa mutumin Allah, “Kai, ko da Ubangiji zai buɗe tagogin sama, wannan abu ba zai yiwu ba!” Sai Elisha ya ce, “Za ka gani da idanunka, zai faru, amma ba za ka ci ba!”
Then the captain whose arm was supporting the king said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.
3 To, akwai waɗansu kutare huɗu a ƙofar gari. Suka ce wa junansu, “Don me za mu zauna a nan sai mun mutu?
Now there were four lepers seated at the doorway into the town: and they said to one another, Why are we waiting here for death?
4 In muka ce, ‘Za mu shiga cikin birni’ yunwa tana can, za mu kuwa mutu. Idan kuwa muka zauna a nan, za mu mutu. Saboda haka, bari mu ƙetare zuwa sansanin Arameyawa mu miƙa kai. Idan suka bar mu da rai, to; idan kuwa suka kashe mu, shi ke nan.”
If we say, We will go into the town, there is no food in the town, and we will come to our end there; and if we go on waiting here, death will come to us. Come then, let us give ourselves up to the army of Aram: if they let us go on living, then life will be ours; and if they put us to death, then death will be ours.
5 Da yamma sai suka tashi suka tafi sansanin Arameyawa. Yayinda suka shiga tsakiyar sansanin Arameyawa kuwa, sai suka tarar ba kowa a can,
So in the half light they got up to go to the tents of Aram; but when they came to the outer line of tents, there was no one there.
6 gama Ubangiji ya sa rundunar Arameyawa suka ji motsin kekunan yaƙi, da motsin dawakai, da na babban rundunar sojoji, saboda haka suka ce wa juna; “Duba, sarkin Isra’ila ya ɗauka hayar sarakuna Hittiyawa da sarakunan Masarawa don su yaƙe mu!”
For the Lord had made the sound of carriages and horses, and the noise of a great army, come to the ears of the Aramaeans, so that they said to one another, Truly, the king of Israel has got the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians for a price to make an attack on us.
7 Saboda haka suka tashi, suka gudu da yamma, suka bar tentunansu, da dawakansu, da jakunansu. Suka bar sansanin yadda yake, suka gudu don su ceci rayukansu.
So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.
8 Da kutaren nan suka kai bakin sansanin, sai suka shiga wani tenti, suka ci, suka sha, suka kwashi azurfa, da zinariya, da riguna, suka tafi, suka ɓoye su. Sa’an nan suka koma, suka shiga wani tenti, sai suka kwashi kaya daga ciki, suka kuma ɓoye su.
And when those lepers came to the outer line of tents, they went into one tent, and had food and drink, and took from it silver and gold and clothing, which they put in a secret place; then they came back and went into another tent from which they took more goods, which they put away in a secret place.
9 Sa’an nan suka ce wa juna, “Ba mu yi abin kirki ba. Wannan rana ce ta albishiri amma muka yi shiru; in kuwa mun bari har gari ya waye, to, fa, wata masifa za tă fāɗo mana. Bari mu tafi nan take mu faɗa a fadan sarki.”
Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we say nothing: if we go on waiting here till the morning, punishment will come to us. So let us go and give the news to those of the king's house.
10 Saboda haka suka je suka kira masu tsaron ƙofar birni, suka ce musu, “Mun je sansanin Arameyawa, ga shi kuwa ba mu iske kowa a can ba, babu ko motsin wani, sai dai dawakai da jakuna a daure, tentunan kuwa suna nan yadda suke.”
So they came in, and, crying out to the door-keepers of the town, they gave them the news, saying, We came to the tents of the Aramaeans, and there was no one there and no voice of man, only the horses and the asses in their places, and the tents as they were.
11 Sai matsaran ƙofar suka sanar da labarin a cikin fada.
Then the door-keepers, crying out, gave the news to those inside the king's house.
12 Sai sarki ya tashi da daren nan ya ce wa hafsoshinsa, “Na san abin da Arameyawan suke shiri! Sun san game da yunwar da muke ciki a nan, domin haka sun bar sansaninsu suka shiga jeji suka ɓuya, suna nufin sa’ad da muka fita daga birni, sai su kama mu da rai, sa’an nan su shiga birnin.”
Then the king got up in the night and said to his servants, This is my idea of what the Aramaeans have done to us. They have knowledge that we are without food; and so they have gone out of their tents, and are waiting secretly in the open country, saying, When they come out of the town, we will take them living and get into the town.
13 Ɗaya daga cikin fadawan sarki ya ce, “A sa waɗansu mutane su ɗauki dawakai biyar da suka ragu cikin birni, idan ba su tsira ba, za su zama kamar sauran Isra’ilawan da suka riga suka mutu ne. Bari mu aika, mu gani.”
And one of his servants said in answer, Send men and let them take five of the horses which we still have in the town; if they keep their lives they will be the same as those of Israel who are still living here; if they come to their death they will be the same as all those of Israel who have gone to destruction: let us send and see.
14 Saboda haka suka zaɓi kekunan yaƙi biyu tare da dawakansu, sarki kuwa ya aike su su bi bayan sojojin Arameyawa. Ya umarci masu tuƙinsu ya ce, “Ku je ku bincika abin da ya faru.”
So they took two horsemen; and the king sent them after the army of the Aramaeans, saying, Go and see.
15 Suka bi sawunsu har Urdun, suka ga tufafi da makamai barjat ko’ina a hanya waɗanda Arameyawa suka zubar yayinda suke gudu. Sai’yan aika suka dawo suka ba wa sarki labari.
And they went after them as far as Jordan; and all the road was covered with clothing and vessels dropped by the Aramaeans in their flight. So those who were sent went back and gave the news to the king.
16 Sa’an nan jama’a suka fita suka kwashi ganima a sansanin Arameyawa. Aka kuwa sayar da gari mai laushi a farashin shekel guda, mudu biyu na sha’ir kuma a shekel guda, yadda Ubangiji ya faɗi.
Then the people went out and took the goods from the tents of the Aramaeans. So a measure of good meal was to be had for the price of a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, as the Lord had said.
17 Sai ya kasance cewa Sarki ya sa dogari wanda ya raka shi wajen Elisha ya tsare ƙofar birnin. Sai mutane suka tattake shi a ƙofar har ya mutu, kamar yadda annabi Elisha ya faɗa sa’ad da sarki ya tafi wurinsa.
And the king gave authority to that captain, on whose arm he was supported, to have control over the doorway into the town; but he was crushed to death there under the feet of the people, as the man of God had said when the king went down to him.
18 Haka kuwa ya kasance kamar yadda mutumin Allah ya ce wa sarki, “Gobe war haka, za a sayar da mudun gari shekel guda, mudun sha’ir biyu ma a shekel guda, a ƙofar Samariya.”
So the words of the man of God came true, which he said to the king: Two measures of barley will be offered for the price of a shekel and a measure of good meal for a shekel, tomorrow about this time in the market-place of Samaria.
19 Hafsan ya riga ya ce wa mutumin Allah, “Kai, ko da Ubangiji zai buɗe tagogin sama, wannan abu ba zai yiwu ba!” Mutumin Allah kuwa ya faɗa masa, “Za ka gani da idanunka sai dai ba za ka ci ba!”
And that captain said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said to him, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.
20 Haka kuwa ya kasance, gama mutane sun tattake shi a hanyar shiga, har ya mutu.
And such was his fate; for he was crushed to death under the feet of the people, in the doorway into the town.
