2 Samuel 19
1 Then it was reported to Joab, “The king is weeping and mourning over Absalom.”
Aka faɗa wa Yowab cewa, “Sarki yana kuka, yana kuma makoki saboda Absalom.”
2 And that day’s victory was turned into mourning for all the people, because on that day they were told, “The king is grieving over his son.”
Saboda haka sai nasarar da aka yi a ranar ta zama makoki ga dukan sojoji, gama a ranar, rundunoni sun ji an ce, “Sarki yana baƙin ciki domin ɗansa.”
3 So they returned to the city quietly that day, as people steal away in humiliation after fleeing a battle.
Mutane fa suka shiga birni shiru, sai ka ce waɗanda sukan sace jiki don kunya sa’ad da suka gudo daga yaƙi.
4 But the king covered his face and cried out at the top of his voice, “O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!”
Sarki ya rufe fuskarsa ya yi kuka da ƙarfi yana cewa, “Ya ɗana Absalom! Ya Absalom ɗana, ɗana!”
5 Then Joab went into the house and said to the king, “Today you have disgraced all your servants who have saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, of your wives, and of your concubines.
Sai Yowab ya shiga gidan sarki ya ce, “Yau ka kunyatar da dukan mutanenka, waɗanda ba da daɗewa ba sun ceci ranka, da rayukan’ya’yanka maza, da na’ya’yanka mata, da na matanka da kuma na ƙwarƙwaranka.
6 You love those who hate you and hate those who love you! For you have made it clear today that the commanders and soldiers mean nothing to you. I know today that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead, it would have pleased you!
Kana ƙaunar maƙiyinka, kana ƙin waɗanda suke ƙaunarka. Ka bayyana a fili cewa komandodi da sojojinsu ba kome ba ne a gare ka. Na ga cewa da za ka yi farin ciki, da a ce Absalom yana da rai a yau, dukanmu kuma mun mutu.
7 Now therefore get up! Go out and speak comfort to your servants, for I swear by the LORD that if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you tonight. This will be worse for you than all the adversity that has befallen you from your youth until now!”
Yanzu ka fita ka ƙarfafa mutanenka. Na rantse da Ubangiji, in ba ka fita ba, babu mutum guda da za a bari tare da kai a daren nan. Wannan zai fi maka muni fiye da kowace irin masifar da ta auko maka tun ƙuruciyarka har zuwa yanzu.”
8 So the king got up and sat in the gate, and all the people were told: “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” So they all came before the king. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled, each man to his home.
Saboda haka sarki ya tashi, ya zauna a bakin hanyar shiga. Da aka faɗa wa mutane cewa, “Sarki yana zaune a bakin hanyar shiga,” sai duk suka zo gabansa. Ana cikin haka, Isra’ilawa dai sun riga sun tsere zuwa gidajensu.
9 And all the people throughout the tribes of Israel were arguing, “The king rescued us from the hand of our enemies and delivered us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled the land because of Absalom.
Mutane ko’ina a kabilan Isra’ila, suka yi ta gardama da juna, suna cewa, “Sarki ne ya cece mu daga hannun abokan gābanmu, shi ne kuma ya kuɓutar da mu daga hannun Filistiyawa. Amma ga shi ya tsere daga ƙasar saboda Absalom;
10 But Absalom, the man we anointed over us, has died in battle. So why do you say nothing about restoring the king?”
kuma shi Absalom, da muka naɗa yă yi mulkinmu, ya mutu a yaƙi. Saboda haka don me ba kwa ce wani abu game da dawo da sarki?”
11 Then King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Say to the elders of Judah, ‘Why should you be the last to restore the king to his palace, since the talk of all Israel has reached the king at his quarters?
Sai Sarki Dawuda ya aika da saƙo zuwa wurin Zadok da Abiyatar, firistoci, ya ce, “Ku tambayi dattawan Yahuda, ‘Me ya sa ku ne za ku zama na ƙarshe a yin tunanin komar da sarki zuwa fada, da yake abin da ake faɗi ko’ina a Isra’ila ya kai kunnen sarki a mazauninsa?
12 You are my brothers, my own flesh and blood. So why should you be the last to restore the king?’
Ku’yan’uwana ne, jikina, jinina kuma. To, don me za ku zama na ƙarshe na yarda a dawo da sarki zuwa fada?’
13 And say to Amasa, ‘Aren’t you my flesh and blood? May God punish me, and ever so severely, if from this time you are not the commander of my army in place of Joab!’”
Ku kuma ce wa Amasa, ‘Ashe, kai ba jikina ba ne da jinina? Allah yă hukunta ni, da hukunci mai tsanani, idan daga yanzu ba ka zama komandan sojojina a maimakon Yowab ba.’”
14 So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah as though they were one man, and they sent word to the king: “Return, you and all your servants.”
Ta haka ya rinjayi zukatan dukan mutane Yahuda, kamar mutum ɗaya. Suka aika da saƙo wurin sarki suka ce, “Ka dawo, kai da dukan mutanenka.”
15 So the king returned, and when he arrived at the Jordan, the men of Judah came to Gilgal to meet him and escort him across the Jordan.
Sa’an nan sarki ya dawo, ya kuma tafi har zuwa Urdun. To, mutanen Yahuda suka zo Gilgal don su fita su taryi sarki, su kuma kawo shi ƙetaren Urdun.
16 Then Shimei son of Gera, a Benjamite from Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet King David,
Shimeyi ɗan Gera, mutumin Benyamin daga Bahurim ya gaggauta, ya gangara tare da mutanen Yahuda don su taryi Sarki Dawuda.
17 along with a thousand men of Benjamin, as well as Ziba the steward of the house of Saul and his fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed down to the Jordan before the king
Tare da shi akwai kabilar Benyamin mutum dubu, tare da Ziba, mai hidimar gidan Shawulu, da’ya’yansa maza goma sha biyar, da bayi ashirin. Suka ruga zuwa Urdun, inda sarki yake.
18 and crossed at the ford to carry over the king’s household and to do what was good in his sight. When Shimei son of Gera crossed the Jordan, he fell down before the king
Suka haye a mashigin don su ƙetaro da iyalin sarki, su kuma yi duk abin da yake so. Sa’ad da Shimeyi ɗan Gera ya haye Urdun, sai ya fāɗi rubda ciki a gaban sarki
19 and said, “My lord, do not hold me guilty, and do not remember your servant’s wrongdoing on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem. May the king not take it to heart.
ya ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, ina roƙonka kada ka riƙe laifina a zuciya. Kada ka tuna da laifin da na yi maka ranka yă daɗe, ranan nan da kake gudu daga Urushalima. Kada ka tuna da shi ko kaɗan.
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned, so here I am today as the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king.”
Na sani ni bawanka na yi maka laifi. Shi ya sa na zama na farko daga dukan Gidan Yusuf, da mutanen Isra’ila wanda ya fito don yă tarye ka yau, ranka yă daɗe, sarki.”
21 But Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’s anointed?”
Sai Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ya ce, “Bai kamata a kashe Shimeyi saboda wannan ba? Ya la’anci shafaffe na Ubangiji.”
22 And David replied, “Sons of Zeruiah, what have I to do with you, that you should be my adversaries today? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? Am I not indeed aware that today I am king over Israel?”
Dawuda ya ce, “Me ya haɗa ni da ku, ku’ya’yan Zeruhiya? Yau ɗin nan kun zama maƙiyana! Ya kamata a kashe wani a Isra’ila a yau? Ban san cewa yau ni sarki ne a bisa Isra’ila ba?”
23 So the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king swore an oath to him.
Saboda haka sarki ya ce wa Shimeyi, “Ba za ka mutu ba.” Sarki kuwa ya yi alkawari har da rantsuwa.
24 Then Mephibosheth, Saul’s grandson, went down to meet the king. He had not cared for his feet or trimmed his mustache or washed his clothes from the day the king had left until the day he returned safely.
Mefiboshet, jikan Shawulu, shi ma ya gangara don yă taryi sarki. Tun daga ranar da sarki ya gudu har ran da ya komo lafiya, Mefiboshet bai lura da ƙafafunsa, ko yă aske gemunsa, ko yă wanke tufafinsa ba.
25 And he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, who asked him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
Sa’ad da ya zo daga Urushalima don yă taryi sarki, sai sarki ya ce masa, “Me ya sa ba ka tafi tare da ni ba Mefiboshet?”
26 “My lord the king,” he replied, “because I am lame, I said, ‘I will have my donkey saddled so that I may ride on it and go with the king.’ But my servant Ziba deceived me,
Sai ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe sarki, da yake bawanka gurgu ne, na ce, ‘A sa mini sirdi a kan jakina don in hau in tafi tare da sarki.’ Amma Ziba bawana ya bashe ni.
27 and he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. Yet my lord the king is like the angel of God, so do what is good in your eyes.
Ya kuwa ɓata suna bawanka a gaban ranka yă daɗe, sarki. Ranka yă daɗe, sarki yana kama da mala’ikan Allah, ka yi abin da ka ga ya fi maka kyau.
28 For all the house of my grandfather deserves death from my lord the king, yet you have set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right, then, do I have to keep appealing to the king?”
Duk zuriyar kakana ba su cancanci kome ba sai mutuwa daga ranka yă daɗe, amma ka ba wa bawanka wuri cikin mutanen da suke ci a teburinka. Saboda haka, wanda’yanci nake da shi da zan yi wani ƙarin roƙo a wurin sarki?”
29 The king replied, “Why say any more? I hereby declare that you and Ziba are to divide the land.”
Sarki ya ce masa, “Me ya sa kake zancen nan? Ai, na riga na umarta, da kai, da Ziba ku raba filayen.”
30 And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Instead, since my lord the king has safely come to his own house, let Ziba take it all!”
Mefiboshet ya ce wa sarki, “Bari yă ɗauki kome, yanzu da ranka yă daɗe, sarki ya dawo gida lafiya.”
31 Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim to cross the Jordan with the king and send him on his way from there.
Barzillai mutumin Gileyad shi ma ya zo daga Rogelim don yă ƙetare Urdun tare da sarki, yă kuma sallame shi daga can.
32 Barzillai was quite old, eighty years of age, and since he was a very wealthy man, he had provided for the king while he stayed in Mahanaim.
To, Barzillai fa tsoho ne, mai shekara tamanin. Ya tanada wa sarki a lokaci da yake Mahanayim, gama shi attajiri ne.
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Cross over with me, and I will provide for you at my side in Jerusalem.”
Sarki ya ce wa Barzillai, “Ka ƙetaro tare da ni ka zauna tare da ni a Urushalima, zan kuwa tanada maka.”
34 But Barzillai replied, “How many years of my life remain, that I should go up to Jerusalem with the king?
Amma Barzillai ya ce wa sarki, “Shekara nawa ya rage mini har da zan tafi Urushalima da sarki?
35 I am now eighty years old. Can I discern what is good and what is not? Can your servant taste what he eats or drinks? Can I still hear the voice of singing men and women? Why should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?
Yanzu ina da shekara tamanin. Zan iya bambanta abu mai daɗi da marar daɗi kuma ne? Bawanka zai iya jin ɗanɗano abin da yake ci, ko yake sha ne? Har yanzu zan iya jin muryoyin mawaƙan maza da mata? Don me bawanka zai zama ƙari kaya ga ranka yă daɗe?
36 Your servant could go with the king only a short distance past the Jordan; why should the king repay me with such a reward?
Bawanka zai ƙetare Urdun tare da sarki, yă ɗan yi maka rakiya kaɗan. Me ya sa ranka yă daɗe zai ba ni irin wannan lada.
37 Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”
Ka bar bawanka yă koma, don in mutu a garina, kusa da kabarin mahaifina da mahaifiyata. Amma ga bawanka Kimham. Bari yă ƙetare tare da ranka yă daɗe, sarki. Ka yi abin da ka ga dama da shi.”
38 The king replied, “Chimham will cross over with me, and I will do for him what seems good in your sight, and I will do for you whatever you desire of me.”
Sarki ya ce, “Kimham zai ƙetare tare da ni, zan kuwa yi masa abin da ya gamshe ka. Kuma duk abin da kake bukata a wurina, zan yi maka.”
39 So all the people crossed the Jordan, and then the king crossed over. The king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and Barzillai returned home.
Saboda haka dukan mutane suka ƙetare Urdun, sa’an nan kuma sarki ma ya ƙetare. Sarki ya yi wa Barzillai sumba ya albarkace shi, sa’an nan Barzillai ya koma gidansa.
40 Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham crossed over with him. All the troops of Judah and half the troops of Israel escorted the king.
Sa’ad da sarki ya ƙetare zuwa Gilgal, Kimham ma ya ƙetare tare da shi. Dukan sojojin Yahuda da rabin sojojin Isra’ila suka ƙetare da sarki.
41 Soon all the men of Israel came to the king and asked, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, take you away secretly and bring the king and his household across the Jordan, together with all of David’s men?”
Nan take sai ga mutane Isra’ila suna zuwa wurin sarki, suna cewa, “Don me’yan’uwanmu, mutanen Yahuda, suka saci sarki, suka kawo shi da iyalinsa a ƙetaren Urdun, tare da dukan mutanensa?”
42 And all the men of Judah replied to the men of Israel, “We did this because the king is our relative. Why does this anger you? Have we ever eaten at the king’s expense or received anything for ourselves?”
Dukan mutanen Yahuda suka ce wa mutanen Isra’ila, “Mun yi haka domin sarki danginmu na kurkusa ne. Don me kuke fushi game da wannan? Mun ci wani abu daga cikin kayan sarki ne? Mun ɗauki wani abu wa kanmu ne?”
43 “We have ten shares in the king,” answered the men of Israel, “so we have more claim to David than you. Why then do you despise us? Were we not the first to speak of restoring our king?” But the men of Judah pressed even harder than the men of Israel.
Sa’an nan mutanen Isra’ila suka ce wa mutanen Yahuda, “Muna da rabo goma a wurin sarki; ban da haka ma, muna da hakki mafi yawa a wurin Dawuda fiye da ku. Don me kuke mana reni? Ba mu ne ma muka fara magana dawowa da sarki ba?” Amma mutanen Yahuda suka ɗauka maganar da zafi fiye da mutanen Isra’ila.
