< 1 Kings 2 >

1 Now the days of David had drawn near, so that he would die, and he instructed his son Solomon, saying:
Da lokacin mutuwar Dawuda ya yi kusa, sai ya gargaɗe Solomon ɗansa, ya ce,
2 “I am entering the way of all the earth. Be strengthened and be a good man.
“Ina gab da bin hanyar da kowa a duniya zai bi. Saboda haka ka yi ƙarfin hali, ka nuna kanka namiji,
3 And observe the care of the Lord your God, so that you walk in his ways, so that you care for his ceremonies, and his precepts, and judgments, and testimonies, just as it is written in the law of Moses. So may you understand everything that you do, in any direction that you may turn yourself.
ka kiyaye abin da Ubangiji Allahnka yake bukata. Yi tafiya a hanyoyinsa, ka kiyaye ƙa’idodi, da umarnai, da dokoki, da kuma farillansa, kamar yadda suke a rubuce a Dokar Musa, don ka yi nasara a cikin kome da za ka yi, da kuma inda za ka tafi.
4 So may the Lord confirm his words, which he has spoken about me, saying: ‘If your sons will guard their ways, and if they will walk before me in truth, with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not be taken away from you a man on the throne of Israel.’
Ubangiji kuwa zai kiyaye alkawarinsa gare ni da ya ce, ‘In zuriyarka suka lura da yadda suke rayuwa, in kuma suka yi tafiya da aminci a gabana da dukan zuciyarsu, da kuma dukan ransu, ba za ka kāsa samun mutum a kujerar sarautar Isra’ila ba.’
5 Also, you know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, has done to me, what he did to the two leaders of the army of Israel, to Abner, the son of Ner, and to Amasa, the son of Jether. He killed them, and so he shed the blood of war in peace time, and he set the bloodshed of battle on his belt, which was around his waist, and in his shoes, which were on his feet.
“Yanzu fa, kai kanka ka san abin da Yowab ɗan Zeruhiya ya yi mini. Abin da ya yi wa shugabanni biyun nan na mayaƙan Isra’ila, wato, Abner ɗan Ner, da Amasa ɗan Yeter. Ya kashe su, ya kuma zub da jininsu a lokacin salama sai ka ce a fage yaƙi, da wannan jini ya yi ɗamara a gindinsa, ya kuma sa takalma a ƙafafunsa.
6 Therefore, act according to your wisdom. And you shall not allow his gray head to be led away to death in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Ka yi da shi gwargwadon hikimarka, amma kada ka bari yă gangara kabari da furfura cikin salama. (Sheol h7585)
7 Then, too, repay grace to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. And you shall allow them to eat at your table. For they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, your brother.
“Amma ka yi alheri ga’ya’yan Barzillai mutumin Gileyad, ka sa su kasance a cikin waɗanda suke ci a teburinka. Sun goyi bayana sa’ad da nake gudu daga ɗan’uwanka Absalom.
8 Also, you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera, the son of Benjamin, from Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse, when I went away to the camp. And he descended to meet me when I crossed over the Jordan, and I swore to him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death by the sword,’
“Ka tuna, akwai kuma Shimeyi ɗan Gera, mutumin Benyamin daga Bahurim, wanda ya yi ta yin mini muguwar la’ana a ranar da na tafi Mahanayim. Sa’ad da ya gangara ya same ni a Urdun, na rantse masa da sunan Ubangiji na ce, ‘Ba zan kashe ka da takobi ba.’
9 yet do not choose to treat him as if he were innocent. Since you are a wise man, you will know what to do with him. And you shall lead away his grey hair to death with blood.” (Sheol h7585)
Amma yanzu, kada ka ɗauke shi marar laifi. Kai mutum ne mai hikima; za ka san abin da za ka yi da shi. Ka kawo furfuransa zuwa kabari da jini.” (Sheol h7585)
10 And so, David slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David.
Sa’an nan Dawuda ya huta tare da kakanninsa. Sai aka binne shi a Birnin Dawuda.
11 Now the days during which David reigned over Israel are forty years: he reigned seven years in Hebron, thirty-three in Jerusalem.
Ya yi sarauta shekaru arba’in a bisa Isra’ila. Wato, shekaru bakwai a Hebron da kuma talatin da uku a Urushalima.
12 Then Solomon sat upon the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was strengthened exceedingly.
Solomon kuwa ya zauna a kan kujerar sarautar mahaifinsa Dawuda, mulkinsa kuwa ya kahu sosai.
13 And Adonijah, the son of Haggith, entered to Bathsheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said to him, “Is your entrance peaceful?” He responded, “It is peaceful.”
To, sai Adoniya, ɗan Haggit ya tafi wurin Batsheba mahaifiyar Solomon. Ita kuwa ta tambaye shi ta ce, “Lafiya?” Ya amsa ya ce, “I, lafiya.”
14 And he added, “My word is for you.” She said to him, “Speak.” And he said:
Sa’an nan ya ƙara da cewa, “Ina da ɗan wani abin da zan faɗa miki.” Ta ce, “Faɗa.”
15 “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all of Israel had preferred me for themselves as king. But the kingdom was transferred, and has become my brother’s. For it was appointed to him by the Lord.
Sai ya ce, “Kamar yadda kika sani, mulkin nan nawa ne. Dukan Isra’ila suna ɗaukana a matsayin sarki. Amma abubuwa suka canja, sai mulkin ya koma ga ɗan’uwana; gama ya zo masa daga Ubangiji ne.
16 Now therefore, I beg of you one petition. May you not confound my face.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
Yanzu ina da roƙo guda da zan yi gare ki. Kada ki hana mini.” Ta ce, “Sai ka faɗa.”
17 And he said: “I beg that you may speak to king Solomon, for he is not able to refuse anything to you, so that he may give Abishag the Shunammite to me as wife.”
Sai ya ci gaba, “In kin yarda, ki yi magana da Sarki Solomon, gama ba zai ƙi jinki ba, ki ce yă ba ni yarinyan nan, Abishag, mutuniyar Shunam, tă zama matata.”
18 And Bathsheba said: “It is well. I will speak to the king on your behalf.”
Batsheba ta ce, “Da kyau, zan yi magana da sarki dominka.”
19 Then Bathsheba went to king Solomon, so that she might speak to him on behalf of Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and he reverenced her, and he sat down upon his throne. And a throne was stationed for the mother of the king, and she sat at his right hand.
Sai Batsheba ta tafi wurin Sarki Solomon don tă yi masa magana a kan Adoniya. Sarki ya miƙe tsaye don yă sadu da ita, ya rusuna mata, ya kuma zauna a kujerar sarautarsa. Ya sa aka kawo wa mahaifiyar sarki kujerar sarauta, ta kuwa zauna a gefen damansa.
20 And she said to him: “I petition one small request from you. May you not confound my face.” And the king said to her: “Ask, my mother. For it is not right that I turn away your face.”
Ta ce, “Ina da ɗan roƙon da zan nema ka yi mini. Ina fata ba za ka hana ni ba.” Sai sarki ya amsa ya ce, “Mahaifiyata, sai ki faɗa in ji, ba zan hana miki ba.”
21 And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah, your brother, as wife.”
Saboda haka sai ta ce, “Ka sa a ba wa ɗan’uwanka Adoniya, Abishag mutuniyar Shunam tă zama matarsa.”
22 And king Solomon responded, and he said to his mother: “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Why not request the kingdom for him! For he is my older brother, and he has Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Zeruiah.”
Sarki Solomon ya amsa wa mahaifiyarsa ya ce, “Me ya sa kika roƙar wa Adoniya Abishag mutuniyar Shunam kawai? Ki ma sa a ba shi mulkin mana. Ai, shi yayana ne. I, ki roƙa dominsa, da domin Abiyatar firist, da kuma domin Yowab ɗan Zeruhiya mana!”
23 And so king Solomon swore by the Lord, saying: “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things! For Adonijah has spoken this word against his own life.
Sai Sarki Solomon ya rantse da sunan Ubangiji ya ce, “Bari Allah yă yi mini hukunci mai tsanani, idan ban sa Adoniya ya biya wannan roƙo da ransa ba!
24 And now, as the Lord lives, who has confirmed me and placed me upon the throne of my father David, and who, just as he said, has made a house for me: Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”
Yanzu kuwa, muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, shi wanda ya kafa ni sosai a kan kujerar sarautar mahaifina Dawuda, ya kuma kafa mini mulki kamar yadda ya yi alkawari; za a kashe Adoniya yau!”
25 And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who put him to death, and so he died.
Saboda haka Sarki Solomon ya umarci Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada yă kashe Adoniya; ya kuwa kashe shi.
26 Also, the king said to Abiathar, the priest: “Go into Anathoth, to your own land, for you are a man worthy of death. But I will not put you to death this day, since you carried the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and since you have endured hardship in all the things, for which my father labored.”
Ga Abiyatar firist kuwa sarki ya ce, “Tafi gonarka a Anatot. Ka cancanci ka mutu, amma ba zan kashe ka yanzu ba, domin ka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka a gaban mahaifina Dawuda, ka kuma sha wahala tare mahaifina.”
27 Therefore, Solomon cast out Abiathar, so that he would not be the priest of the Lord, so that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled, which he spoke over the house of Eli at Shiloh.
Saboda haka Solomon ya cire Abiyatar daga aikin firist na Ubangiji, ya cika maganar da Ubangiji ya yi a Shilo game da gidan Eli.
28 And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside after Adonijah, and he had not turned aside after Solomon. And so, Joab fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and he took hold of the horn of the altar.
Sa’ad da labarin ya kai wurin Yowab, wanda ya haɗa kai da Adoniya, ko da yake bai haɗa kai da Absalom ba, sai ya gudu zuwa tentin Ubangiji, ya kama ƙahonin bagade ya riƙe.
29 And it was reported to king Solomon that Joab had fled into the tabernacle of the Lord, and that he was beside the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, put him to death.”
Aka faɗa wa Sarki Solomon cewa Yowab ya gudu zuwa tentin Ubangiji, yana kuma kusa da bagade. Sai Solomon ya umarci Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya ce, “Je ka kashe shi!”
30 And Benaiah went to the tabernacle of the Lord, and he said to him: “The king says this: ‘Come out.’” But he said: “I will not come out. Instead, I will die here.” Benaiah sent word back to the king, saying, “Joab said this, and he responded to me in this way.”
Sai Benahiya ya shiga tentin Ubangiji ya ce wa Yowab, “Sarki ya ce, ‘Ka fita!’” Amma Yowab ya amsa ya ce, “A’a, a nan zan mutu.” Sai Benahiya ya ce wa sarki, “Ga yadda Yowab ya amsa mini.”
31 And the king said to him, “Do just as he has said. And put him to death, and bury him. And so shall you take away the innocent blood, which was shed by Joab, from me and from my father’s house.
Sai sarki ya umarci Benahiya ya ce, “Yi kamar yadda ya faɗa. Ka kashe shi, ka kuma binne shi, ka wanke ni da gidan mahaifina daga laifin jini marasa laifin da Yowab ya zubar.
32 And the Lord shall repay his blood upon his own head. For he killed two men, just and better than himself, and he killed them with the sword, while my father, David, did not know it: Abner, the son of Ner, leader of the military of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, leader of the army of Judah.
Ubangiji zai sāka masa saboda jinin da ya zubar, domin ba da sanin mahaifina Dawuda ne ya fāɗa wa mutum biyun nan da takobi ba. Dukansu biyu, Abner ɗan Ner, shugaban mayaƙan Isra’ila, da Amasa ɗan Yeter, shugaban mayaƙan Yahuda, mutane ne mafi kyau da kuma mafi adalci fiye da shi.
33 And their blood shall be turned back upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his offspring forever. But as for David, and his offspring and house, and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord, even unto eternity.”
Bari alhakin jininsu yă koma a kan Yowab da kuma zuriyarsa har abada. Amma bari salamar Ubangiji tă kasance a kan Dawuda da zuriyarsa, da gidansa, da kuma mulkinsa, har abada.”
34 And so Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up and, attacking him, put him to death. And he was buried in his own house in the desert.
Sai Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya haura ya bugi Yowab, ya kashe shi, ya kuwa binne shi a gidansa a ƙauye.
35 And the king appointed Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, in his place over the army. And he appointed Zadok, the priest, in place of Abiathar.
Sai sarki ya sa Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya zama shugaba a bisa mayaƙa a matsayin Yowab, ya kuma sa Zadok firist a wurin Abiyatar.
36 Also, the king sent for and summoned Shimei, and he said to him: “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and live there. And do not depart from that place to here or to there.
Sa’an nan sarki ya aika aka kawo Shimeyi, ya kuma ce masa, “Ka gina wa kanka gida a nan a Urushalima, ka zauna a ciki, kada ka kuskura ka tafi wani wuri.
37 For on whatever day you will have departed and crossed the torrent Kidron, know that you shall be put to death. Your blood will be upon your own head.”
Gama ran da ka fita, ka haye Kwarin Kidron, ka tabbata za ka mutu, alhakin jininka kuwa zai koma kanka.”
38 And Shimei said to the king: “The word is good. Just as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” And so Shimei lived in Jerusalem for many days.
Shimeyi ya amsa wa sarki ya ce, “Abin da ka faɗa yana da kyau. Bawanka zai yi kamar yadda ranka yă daɗe sarki, ya faɗa.” Shimeyi kuwa ya yi zama a Urushalima na dogon lokaci.
39 But it happened that, after three years, the servants of Shimei fled to Achish, the son of Maacah, the king of Gath. And it was reported to Shimei that his servants had gone away to Gath.
Amma bayan shekaru uku, biyu daga cikin bayin Shimeyi suka gudu zuwa wurin Akish ɗan Ma’aka, sarkin Gat. Aka faɗa wa Shimeyi cewa, “Bayinka suna a Gat.”
40 And Shimei rose up, and he saddled his donkey. And went away to Achish in Gath, in order to seek his servants. And he led them away from Gath.
Da jin haka, sai ya tashi ya shimfiɗa wa jakinsa abin zama, ya hau, ya tafi Gat wurin Akish domin neman bayinsa. Shimeyi kuwa ya dawo da su gida daga Gat.
41 And it was reported to Solomon that Shimei had gone away from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
Da aka faɗa wa Solomon cewa Shimeyi ya bar Urushalima zuwa Gat, har ya dawo.
42 And sending, he summoned him, and he said to him: “Did I not testify to you by the Lord, and warn you in advance, ‘On whatever day, having departed, you go forth to here or to there, know that you shall die?’ And you responded to me, ‘The word that I have heard is good.’
Sai sarki ya aika a kawo Shimeyi, ya ce masa, “Ban sa ka rantse da sunan Ubangiji, na kuma ja maka kunne cewa, ‘A ranar da ka kuskura ka bar nan ka tafi wani wuri, ka tabbata za ka mutu ba’? A lokacin ka ce mini, ‘Abin da ka faɗa yana da kyau. Zan kuwa kiyaye.’
43 Then why have you not kept the oath to the Lord, and the commandment which I instructed to you?”
To, me ya sa ba ka kiyaye rantsuwar da ka yi ga Ubangiji, ka kuma yi biyayya da umarnin da na ba ka ba?”
44 And the king said to Shimei: “You know all the evil, of which your heart is conscious, which you did to David, my father. The Lord has repaid your wickedness upon your own head.”
Sarki ya ce wa Shimeyi, “Ka sani a zuciyarka dukan muguntar da ka yi wa mahaifina Dawuda. Yanzu Ubangiji zai sāka maka saboda muguntarka.
45 And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord, even forever.
Amma za a yi wa Sarki Solomon albarka, sarautar Dawuda kuma za tă kasance a tsare a gaban Ubangiji har abada.”
46 And so the king commanded Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And going out, he struck him down, and he died.
Sai sarki ya umarci Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, yă fita, yă bugi Shimeyi, yă kashe shi. Ya kuwa kashe shi. Mulki kuwa ya kahu sosai a hannun Solomon.
