< 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: “Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord: Tomorrow, at this time, one measure of fine wheat flour will be one silver coin, and two measures of barley will be one silver coin, at the gate 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!”
And one of the leaders, upon whose hand the king leaned, responding to the man of God, said, “Even if the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven, how can what you say possibly be?” And he said, “You will see it with your own eyes, and you will not eat from it.”
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 beside the entrance of the gate. And they said one to another: “Should we choose to stay here until we die?
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 choose to enter the city, we will die from the famine. And if we remain here, we also will die. Therefore, come and let us flee over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare us, we will live. But if they choose to kill us, we will die anyway.”
5 Da yamma sai suka tashi suka tafi sansanin Arameyawa. Yayinda suka shiga tsakiyar sansanin Arameyawa kuwa, sai suka tarar ba kowa a can,
Therefore, they rose up in the evening, so that they might go to the camp of the Syrians. And when they had arrived at the beginning of the camp of the Syrians, they found no one in that place.
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 indeed, the Lord had caused them to hear, in the camp of Syria, the sound of chariots and horses, and a very numerous army. And they said one to another: “Behold, the king of Israel has paid wages to the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians against us. And they will overwhelm 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.
Therefore, they rose up and fled away in the dark. And they left behind their tents and horses and donkeys in the camp. And they fled, desiring to save so much as their own 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 so, when these lepers had arrived at the beginning of the camp, they entered one tent, and they ate and drank. And they took from there silver, and gold, and clothing. And they went away and hid it. And they returned again to another tent, and similarly, carrying away from there, they hid it.
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 one to another: “We are not doing the right thing. For this is a day of good news. If we remain silent and refuse to report it until morning, we will be charged with a crime. Come, let us go and report it in the court of the king.”
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.”
And when they had arrived at the gate of the city, they explained to them, saying: “We went into the camp of the Syrians, and we found no one in that place, except horses and donkeys tied, and the tents still standing.”
11 Sai matsaran ƙofar suka sanar da labarin a cikin fada.
Therefore, the gatekeepers went and reported it in the palace of the king.
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.”
And he rose up in the night, and he said to his servants: “I tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are suffering from famine, and therefore they have gone out from the camp, and they lie hidden in the fields, saying: ‘When they will have gone out from the city, we will capture them alive, and then we will be able to enter the city.’”
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.”
But one of his servants responded: “Let us take the five horses that remain in the city (for there were no more amid the entire multitude of Israel, since the rest had been consumed), and sending, we will be able to explore.”
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.”
Therefore, they brought two horses. And the king sent them into the camp of the Syrians, 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 away after them, as far as the Jordan. But behold, the entire way was filled with clothing and vessels, which the Syrians had thrown aside when they were disturbed. And the messengers returned and told 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.
And the people, going out, pillaged the camp of the Syrians. And one measure of fine wheat flour went for one silver coin, and two measures of barley went for one silver coin, in accord with the word of the Lord.
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.
Then the king stationed that leader, on whose hand he leaned, at the gate. And the crowd trampled him at the entrance of the gate. And he died, in accord with what the man of God had said when the king had descended 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.”
And this happened in accord with the word of the man of God, which he had spoken to the king, when he said: “Two measures of barley will be one silver coin, and one measure of fine wheat flour will be one silver coin, at this same time tomorrow, at the gate 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!”
Then that leader had responded to the man of God, and he had said, “Even if the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven, how can what you say possibly happen?” And he said to him, “You will see it with your own eyes, and you will not eat from it.”
20 Haka kuwa ya kasance, gama mutane sun tattake shi a hanyar shiga, har ya mutu.
Therefore, it happened to him just as it had been predicted. For the people trampled him at the gate, and he died.
