< 2 Samuel 15 >
1 Some time later, Absalom provided for himself a chariot with horses and fifty men to run ahead of him.
Ana nan sai Absalom ya samo wa kansa wata keken yaƙi da dawakai tare da mutum hamsin da za su sha gabansa.
2 He would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. Whenever anyone had a grievance to bring before the king for a decision, Absalom would call out and ask, “What city are you from?” And if he replied, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,”
Absalom yakan tashi da sassafe yă tsaya a gefen hanyar shigar ƙofar birni. Duk sa’ad da wani ya zo da ƙara don a kai gaban sarki yă yi shari’a, Absalom yakan kira shi yă ce, “Daga wane gari ka fito?” Sai mutumin yă amsa yă ce, “Bawanka ya fito a ɗaya daga cikin kabilan Isra’ila.”
3 Absalom would say, “Look, your claims are good and right, but the king has no deputy to hear you.”
Sai Absalom yă ce masa, “Ga shi, ƙararka daidai ne, tana kuma da gaskiya, sai dai ba wakilin sarkin da zai ji ka.”
4 And he would add, “If only someone would appoint me judge in the land, then everyone with a grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice.”
Absalom kuwa yakan ƙara da cewa, “Da a ce an naɗa ni alƙali a ƙasar mana! Da duk mai ƙara, ko kuka wanda zai zo wurina, zan in tabbatar an yi masa adalci.”
5 Also, when anyone approached to bow down to him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him, and kiss him.
Kuma duk sa’ad da wani ya zo wurin Absalom ya rusuna don yă gaishe shi, sai Absalom yă sa hannunsa yă ta da shi, yă kuma rungume shi.
6 Absalom did this to all the Israelites who came to the king for justice. In this way he stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
Absalom ya yi ta yin haka ga dukan Isra’ilawan da suka zo wurin sarki don neman adalci, ta haka kuwa ya saci zukatan mutanen Isra’ila.
7 After four years had passed, Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a vow I have made to the LORD.
A ƙarshen shekara huɗu, Absalom ya ce wa sarki, “Bari in tafi Hebron in cika alkawarin da na yi wa Ubangiji.
8 For your servant made a vow while dwelling in Geshur of Aram, saying: ‘If indeed the LORD brings me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the LORD in Hebron.’”
Yayinda bawanka yake zama a Geshur, a Aram, na yi wannan alkawari, na ce, ‘In Ubangiji ya komo da ni Urushalima, zan yi wa Ubangiji sujada a Hebron.’”
9 “Go in peace,” said the king. So Absalom got up and went to Hebron.
Sarki ya ce, “Ka sauka lafiya.” Sai ya tafi Hebron.
10 Then Absalom sent spies throughout the tribes of Israel with this message: “When you hear the sound of the horn, you are to say, ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron!’”
Sai Absalom ya aiki manzanni a asirce cikin dukan kabilan Isra’ila, ya ce musu su ce, “Da zarar kuka ji an busa ƙaho, sai ku ce, ‘Absalom sarki ne a Hebron.’”
11 Two hundred men from Jerusalem accompanied Absalom. They had been invited as guests and they went along innocently, for they knew nothing about the matter.
Mutum ɗari biyu daga Urushalima suka raka Absalom. An gayyace su a matsayin baƙi, suka kuwa tafi cikin rashin sani, ba su san wani abu game da al’amarin ba.
12 While Absalom was offering the sacrifices, he sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, to come from his hometown of Giloh. So the conspiracy gained strength, and Absalom’s following kept increasing.
Yayinda Absalom yake miƙa hadaya, ya aika a kira Ahitofel mutumin Gilo, mai ba wa Dawuda shawara, yă zo daga Gilo garinsa. Ta haka makircin ya ƙara ƙarfi, masu bin Absalom kuma suka yi ta ƙaruwa.
13 Then a messenger came to David and reported, “The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”
Wani manzo ya zo wurin Dawuda ya ce masa, “Zukatan mutanen Isra’ila sun koma wajen Absalom.”
14 And David said to all the servants with him in Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, or we will not escape from Absalom! We must leave quickly, or he will soon overtake us, heap disaster on us, and put the city to the sword.”
Sai Dawuda ya ce wa dukan fadawansa da suke tare da shi a Urushalima, “Ku zo! Mu gudu, in ba haka ba, babu wanda zai tsira daga hannun Absalom. Dole mu bar nan, nan da nan, in ba haka ba zai tashi da sauri yă fāɗa mana, yă kuma hallaka garin da takobi.”
15 The king’s servants replied, “Whatever our lord the king decides, we are your servants.”
Sai fadawan sarki suka ce masa, “Barorinka suna a shirye su yi duk abin da ranka yă daɗe, ya zaɓa.”
16 Then the king set out, and his entire household followed him. But he left behind ten concubines to take care of the palace.
Sarki ya kama hanya, dukan gidansa kuwa suna biye da shi; amma ya bar ƙwarƙwarai goma su lura da fada.
17 So the king set out with all the people following him. He stopped at the last house,
Ta haka sarki ya kama hanya da dukan mutane suna biye da shi, suka yi sansani a wani wuri mai ɗan nisa da Urushalima.
18 and all his servants marched past him—all the Cherethites and Pelethites, and six hundred Gittites who had followed him from Gath.
Dukan mutanensa suka wuce gabansa, tare da dukan Keretawa da Feletiyawa; da dukan mutane ɗari shida na Gittiyawan da suka raka shi daga Gat, suka wuce gaban sarki.
19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why should you also go with us? Go back and stay with the new king, since you are both a foreigner and an exile from your homeland.
Sarki ya ce wa Ittai mutumin Gat, “Don me za ka zo tare da mu? Ka koma ka zauna tare da Sarki Absalom. Kai baƙo ne, ɗan gudun hijira daga garinka.
20 In fact, you arrived only yesterday; should I make you wander around with us today while I do not know where I am going? Go back and take your brothers with you. May the LORD show you loving devotion and faithfulness.”
Jiya-jiya ka zo. Yau kuma in sa ka yi ta yawo tare da mu, ga shi ban ma san inda za ni ba? Koma, ka tafi da’yan’uwanka. Bari alheri da amincin Ubangiji su kasance tare da kai.”
21 But Ittai answered the king, “As surely as the LORD lives, and as my lord the king lives, wherever my lord the king may be, whether it means life or death, there will your servant be!”
Amma Ittai ya ce wa sarki, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye kuma muddin ranka yă daɗe yana a raye, duk inda ranka yă daɗe sarki zai kasance, ko a yi rai ko a mutu, a can bawanka zai kasance.”
22 “March on then,” said David to Ittai. So Ittai the Gittite marched past with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.
Dawuda ya ce wa Ittai, “Wuce gaba, taka mu je.” Sai Ittai mutumin Gat ya shiga layi tare da dukan mutanensa da iyalan da suke tare da shi.
23 Everyone in the countryside was weeping loudly as all the people passed by. And as the king crossed the Kidron Valley, all the people also passed toward the way of the wilderness.
Dukan ƙauyuka suka yi ta kururuwa yayinda mutanen suke wucewa. Sarki shi ma ya haye ta Kwarin Kidron, mutane kuma suka ci gaba da tafiya zuwa wajen hamada.
24 Zadok was also there, and all the Levites with him were carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar offered sacrifices until the people had passed out of the city.
Zadok yana nan tare da su, kuma dukan Lawiyawan da suke tare da shi kuwa suna ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin Allah. Suka sauke akwatin alkawarin Allah, Abiyatar ya miƙa hadaya sai da mutane suka gama fita daga birnin.
25 Then the king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back and let me see both it and His dwelling place again.
Sa’an nan sarki ya ce wa Zadok, “Ka komar da akwatin alkawarin Allah cikin birnin. Idan na sami tagomashi a idon Ubangiji, zai dawo da ni, yă kuma sa in sāke gan shi a mazauninsa.
26 But if He should say, ‘I do not delight in you,’ then here I am; let Him do to me whatever seems good to Him.”
Amma in ya ce, ‘Ina baƙin ciki da kai,’ to, ina a shirye; bari yă yi abin da ya fi masa.”
27 The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace—you with your son Ahimaaz, and Abiathar with his son Jonathan.
Sarki ya kuma ce wa Zadok firist, “Ashe, kai ba mai duba ba ne? Ka koma cikin birnin lafiya, tare da ɗanka Ahimawaz, da kuma Yonatan ɗan Abiyatar. Kai da Abiyatar ku tafi da’ya’yanku biyu.
28 See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
Zan kuwa jira a mashigai a hamada, sai na ji daga gare ku.”
29 So Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and stayed there.
Saboda haka Zadok da Abiyatar suka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Allah suka komar da shi Urushalima, suka zauna a can.
30 But David continued up the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went up. His head was covered, and he was walking barefoot. And all the people with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went.
Amma Dawuda ya ci gaba yana hawan Dutsen Zaitun, yana kuka yayinda yake tafiya; kansa a rufe, kuma babu takalma a ƙafafunsa. Dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi suka rufe kawunansu suna ta kuka yayinda suke haurawa.
31 Now someone told David: “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David pleaded, “O LORD, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”
To, an gaya wa Dawuda cewa, “Ahitofel yana cikin waɗanda suka hadasa maƙarƙashiya tare da Absalom.” Saboda haka Dawuda ya yi addu’a ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji ka mai da shawarar Ahitofel ta zama shiririta.”
32 When David came to the summit, where he used to worship God, Hushai the Archite was there to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head.
Da Dawuda ya isa ƙwanƙoli, inda mutane sun saba yi wa Allah sujada, Hushai, mutumin Arkitawa kuwa yana can don yă tarye shi, taguwarsa a yage, ga kuma ƙura a kansa.
33 David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will be a burden to me.
Sai Dawuda ya ce masa, “In ka tafi tare da ni, za ka zama mini kaya.
34 But you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me if you return to the city and say to Absalom: ‘I will be your servant, my king; in the past I was your father’s servant, but now I will be your servant.’
Amma in ka koma birni, ka gaya wa Absalom, ‘Zan zama bawanka, ya sarki; dā ni bawan mahaifinka ne, amma yanzu zan zama bawanka,’ ta haka za ka watsar da shawarar Ahitofel.
35 Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them everything you hear from the king’s palace.
Ba Zadok da Abiyatar firistocin nan suna nan tare da kai ba? Ka gaya musu duk abin da ka ji a fadan sarki.
36 Indeed, their two sons, Ahimaaz son of Zadok and Jonathan son of Abiathar, are there with them. Send them to me with everything you hear.”
’Ya’yansu biyu maza, Ahimawaz ɗan Zadok, da kuma Yonatan ɗan Abiyatar, suna can tare da su. Ka aike su wurina da duk abin da ka ji.”
37 So David’s friend Hushai arrived in Jerusalem just as Absalom was entering the city.
Saboda haka Hushai abokin Dawuda ya isa Urushalima yayinda Absalom yake shigowa birnin.
