1 Yanzu fa Yehoshafat ya wadace ƙwarai yana kuma da girma, ya kuma haɗa kansa da Ahab ta wurin aure.
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab.
2 Bayan’yan shekaru sai ya gangara don yă ziyarci Ahab a Samariya. Ahab kuwa ya yanka tumaki da shanu masu yawa dominsa da kuma mutanen da suke tare da shi, ya kuma lallashe shi yă yaƙi Ramot Gileyad.
After some years, he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.
3 Ahab sarkin Isra’ila ya tambayi Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda ya ce, “Za ka tafi tare da ni mu yaƙi Ramot Gileyad?” Yehoshafat ya amsa ya ce, “Ni kamar kai ne, kuma mutanena kamar naka ne; za mu tafi tare da kai a yaƙin.”
Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.”
4 Amma Yehoshafat ya kuma ce wa sarkin Isra’ila, “Da fari mu nemi bishewar Ubangiji.”
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for Yahweh’s word.”

Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” They said, “Go up, for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
6 Amma Yehoshafat ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Babu wani annabin Ubangiji a nan da za mu tambaya?”
But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?”
7 Sarki Isra’ila ya amsa wa Yehoshafat, “Akwai guda har yanzu mai suna Mikahiya ɗan Imla, za mu iya nemi nufin Ubangiji daga gare shi, sai dai ba na sonsa domin bai taɓa yin annabci wani abu mai kyau game da ni ba, sai kullum masifa.” Yehoshafat ya amsa ya ce, “Kada sarki yă faɗa haka.”
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
8 Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya kira ɗaya daga cikin ma’aikatansa ya ce, “A kawo Mikahiya ɗan Imla nan da nan.”
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.”

Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah each sat on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 To, fa, Zedekiya ɗan Kena’ana ya yi ƙahonin ƙarfe, ya kuma furta, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Da waɗannan za ka sassoki Arameyawa sai sun hallaka.’”
Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
11 Dukan sauran annabawan suka yi irin annabcin nan. Suka ce, “A haura zuwa Ramot Gileyad a yi nasara, gama Ubangiji zai ba da shi cikin hannun sarki.”
All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”

The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good.”
13 Amma Mikahiya ya ce, “Na rantse da ran Ubangiji, zan faɗa masa kawai abin da Allahna ya faɗa.”
Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, I will say what my God says.”
14 Da suka iso, sarki ya tambaye shi, “Mika, mu tafi mu yaƙi Ramot Gileyad, ko kada mu tafi?” Ya amsa, “Kai masa yaƙi za ka kuwa yi nasara, gama za a ba da su a hannunka.”
When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” He said, “Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand.”
15 Sarki ya ce masa, “Sau nawa zan sa ka rantse don ka faɗa gaskiya a cikin sunan Ubangiji?”
The king said to him, “How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in Yahweh’s name?”

He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
17 Sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Ban faɗa maka cewa bai taɓa yin annabci wani abu mai kyau game da ni, in ba masifa ba?”
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
18 Mikahiya ya ci gaba, “Saboda haka sai ka ji maganar Ubangiji. Na ga Ubangiji yana zama a kan kursiyinsa tare da dukan rundunar sama tsaye a damansa da hagunsa.
Micaiah said, “Therefore hear Yahweh’s word: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
19 Ubangiji kuwa ya ce, ‘Wa zai ruɗe Ahab sarki Isra’ila zuwa yaƙi da Ramot Gileyad da kuma zuwa mutuwarsa a can?’ “Wani ya ba da wata shawara, wani kuma wata dabam.
Yahweh said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.
20 A ƙarshe, wani ruhu ya zo gaba, ya tsaya a gaban Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Zan ruɗe shi.’ “Ubangiji ya yi tambaya, ‘Ta wace hanya?’
A spirit came out, stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’
21 “Ya ce, ‘Zan tafi in zama ruhun ƙarya a bakunan dukan annabawansa.’ “Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Za ka yi nasara a ruɗinsa. Ka tafi, ka yi haka.’
“He said, ‘I will go, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ “He said, ‘You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go and do so.’
22 “To yanzu, Ubangiji ya sa ruhun ruɗu a bakunan waɗannan annabawanka. Ubangiji ya ƙayyade masifa dominka.”
“Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.”
23 Sai Zedekiya ɗan Kena’ana ya haura ya mari Mikahiya a fuska. Ya ce, “Ta wace hanya ce ruhun Ubangiji ya fita daga gare ni ya zo ya yi magana da kai?”
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did Yahweh’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”
24 Mikahiya ya amsa ya ce, “Za ka gane a ranar da ka je ka ɓuya a can cikin ɗaki.”
Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
25 Sa’an nan sarkin Isra’ila ya umarta, “Ɗauki Mikahiya ku aika da shi zuwa ga Amon mai mulkin birni da kuma ga Yowash ɗan sarki,
The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
26 ku ce ga abin da sarki ya ce, ‘Ku jefa wannan mutum a kurkuku kada kuma ku ba shi wani abu sai dai burodi da ruwa har sai na dawo lafiya.’”
and say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.”’”
27 Mikahiya ya furta ya ce, “Idan har ka dawo lafiya, to, Ubangiji bai yi magana ta wurina ba.” Ya kuma ƙara da cewa, “Dukanku mutane, ku lura da maganata!”
Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, you people, all of you!”
28 Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila da Yehoshafat sarkin Yahuda suka haura zuwa Ramot Gileyad.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
29 Sarkin Isra’ila ya ce wa Yehoshafat, “Zan ɓad da kama in shiga yaƙin, amma ka sa kayanka na sarauta.” Saboda haka sarkin Isra’ila ya ɓad da kama ya shiga cikin yaƙin.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
30 To, fa, sarkin Aram ya umarce shugabannin keken yaƙinsa ya ce, “Kada ku yaƙi kowa, ƙarami ko babba, sai dai sarkin Isra’ila.”
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”
31 Sa’ad da shugabannin kekunan yaƙi suka ga Yehoshafat, sai suka yi tsammani, “Wannan ne sarkin Isra’ila.” Saboda haka suka juya don su yaƙe shi, amma Yehoshafat ya yi ihu, Ubangiji kuma ya taimake shi. Allah ya janye su daga gare shi,
When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
32 gama sa’ad da shugabannin keken yaƙi suka ga cewa ba shi ne sarkin Isra’ila ba, sai suka daina binsa.
When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely wounded.”
34 Duk yini yaƙi ya yi ta cin gaba, sarkin Isra’ila kuwa ya jingina kansa a cikin keken yaƙinsa yana duban Arameyawa har yamma. Sa’an nan a fāɗuwar rana sai ya mutu.
The battle increased that day. However, the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and at about sunset, he died.
