1 Bayan mutuwar Ahab, Mowab ta yi wa Isra’ila tawaye.
Then, after the death of Ahab, Moab transgressed against Israel.
2 Ahaziya fa ya fāɗo daga tagar ɗakin samansa a Samariya ya ji rauni. Saboda haka ya aiki masinjoji, yana cewa, “Ku je ku tuntuɓi Ba’al-Zebub, allahn Ekron, ku ga ko zan warke daga wannan rauni.”
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattices of his upper room, which he had in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as to whether I may be able to survive this infirmity of mine.”
3 Amma mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce wa Iliya mutumin Tishbe, “Ka haura ka taryi masinjojin sarkin Samariya, ka tambaye su, ‘Don babu Allah ne a Isra’ila da za ku tafi ku tuntuɓi Ba’al-Zebub allahn Ekron?’
And an Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying: “Rise up, and ascend to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria. And you shall say to them: ‘Is there not a God in Israel, so that you would go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Saboda haka, ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ba za ka tashi daga inda kake kwance ba, ba shakka za ka mutu!’” Iliya ya yi kamar yadda Ubangiji ya umarce shi, sai ya tafi.
For this reason, thus says the Lord: From the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’” And Elijah went away.
5 Da masinjojin suka koma wurin sarki, sai sarki ya ce da su, “Don me kuka komo?”
And the messengers returned to Ahaziah. And he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
6 Sai suka amsa, “Wani mutum ya sadu da mu ya ce mana, ‘Ku koma wurin sarkin da ya aike ku, ku ce masa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, don babu Allah ne a Isra’ila da ka aika a tuntuɓi Ba’al-Zebub allahn Ekron? Saboda haka ba za ka tashi daga gadon da kake kwance ba. Ba shakka za ka mutu!”’”
But they responded to him: “A man met us, and he said to us: ‘Go, and return to the king who sent you. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’”
7 Sai Sarkin ya tambaye su ya ce, “Wanda irin mutum ne ya yi muku wannan magana?”
And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”
8 Sai suka ce, “Mutumin ya sa riga mai gashi, ya kuma yi ɗamara da fata.” Sarkin ya ce, “Ai, Iliya mutumin Tishbe nan ne.”
So they said, “A hairy man, with a belt of leather wrapping his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah, the Tishbite.”
9 Sai sarki ya aiki kaftin da sojojin hamsin wurin Iliya. Kaftin ya haura wajen Iliya, wanda yake zaune a kan tudu, ya ce masa, “Mutumin Allah, sarki ya ce, ‘Ka sauko, ka zo!’”
And he sent to him a leader of fifty, with the fifty who were under him. And he ascended to him, sitting at the top of a hill, and he said, “Man of God, the king commanded that you should descend.”
10 Iliya ya ce masa, “In ni mutumin Allah ne, bari wuta tă sauko daga sama tă cinye ka da sojojinka hamsin!” Sai wuta ta sauko daga sama ta cinye kaftin tare da sojojinsa hamsin.
And responding, Elijah said to the leader of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And then fire from heaven descended and devoured him and the fifty who were with him.
11 Da jin haka sai sarki ya sāke aiken wani kaftin tare da waɗansu sojojinsa hamsin wurin Iliya. Kaftin ya ce wa Iliya, “Mutumin Allah, ga abin da sarki ya ce, ‘Ka sauko, nan take ka zo!’”
And again, he sent to him another leader of fifty, and the fifty with him. And he said to him, “Man of God, thus says the king: Hurry, descend.”
12 Sai Iliya ya amsa, “In ni mutumin Allah ne, bari wuta ta sauko daga sama ta cinye ka da sojojinka hamsin!” Sai wutar Allah ta sauko daga sama ta cinye shi da sojojinsa hamsin.
Responding, Elijah said, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And fire from heaven descended and devoured him and his fifty.
13 Saboda haka sai sarki ya aiki kaftin na uku da sojojinsa hamsin. Wannan kaftin na ukun ya haura ya durƙusa a gaban Iliya, ya roƙe shi ya ce, “Mutumin Allah, ina roƙonka ka dubi darajar raina da na waɗannan sojoji hamsin, bayinka!
Again, he sent a third leader of fifty men and the fifty who were with him. And when he had arrived, he bent his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him, and said: “Man of God, do not choose to despise my life and the lives of your servants who are with me.
14 Duba, wuta ta sauko daga sama ta cinye su kaftin nan biyu waɗanda suka zo da farko da dukan sojojinsu. To, yanzu dai, ka daraja raina!”
Behold, fire from heaven descended and devoured the two previous leaders of fifty and the fifties who were with them. But now I beg you to take pity on my life.”
15 Sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce wa Iliya, “Sauka, ka tafi tare da shi; kada ka ji tsoro.” Saboda haka Iliya ya tashi ya sauko, ya tafi tare da shi wajen sarki.
Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, saying, “Descend with him; fear not.” And so, he arose and descended with him to the king.
16 Iliya ya ce wa sarki, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, don babu Allah a Isra’ila ne wanda za ka tuntuɓa da ka aika a tuntuɓi Ba’al-Zebub, allahn Ekron? Domin ka yi haka, ba za ka tashi daga gadon da kake kwance ba, ba shakka za ka mutu!”
And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel, from whom you would be able to seek a word, therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.”
17 Ya kuwa mutu yadda Ubangiji ya faɗa ta bakin Iliya. Da yake Ahaziya ba shi da ɗa, sai Yoram ya gāje shi, ya zama sarki a shekara ta biyu ta mulkin Yehoram, ɗan Yehoshafat, sarkin Yahuda.
And so he died, in accord with the word of the Lord, which Elijah spoke. And Jehoram, his brother, reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. For he had no son.
18 Game da dukan sauran abubuwan da suka faru a zamani Ahaziya, da abin da ya yi, ba a rubuce suke a littattafan tarihin sarakuna Isra’ila ba?
But the rest of the words of Ahaziah that he worked, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
