2 Samuel 18
1 And so David, having reviewed his people, appointed over them tribunes and centurions.
Dawuda ya tattara mutanen da suke tare da shi, ya naɗa musu komandodi na dubu-dubu, da na ɗari-ɗari.
2 And he placed a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Ittai, who was from Gath. And the king said to the people, “I, too, will go forth with you.”
Dawuda ya sa rundunoni kashi ɗaya bisa uku a ƙarƙashin Yowab, kashi ɗaya bisa uku a ƙarƙashin Abishai, ɗan’uwan Yowab ɗan Zeruhiya, kashi ɗaya bisa uku a ƙarƙashin Ittai mutumin Gat. Sai sarki ya ce wa rundunonin, “Tabbatacce zan tafi tare da ku.”
3 And the people responded: “You shall not go out. For if we flee, there will not be great concern in them for us. Or if one half part of us will fall, they will not care much. For you are considered as one for ten thousand. Therefore, it is better that you should be in the city to strengthen us.”
Amma mutanen suka ce, “Ba za ka fita ba; gama in ya kasance tilas mu gudu, ba za su kula da mu ba. Ko da rabinmu sun mutu, ba za su damu ba; amma kai kanka ka fi mutum dubu goma namu. Zai fi maka ka zauna a cikin gari, ka dinga aika mana da taimako.”
4 And the king said to them, “I will do whatever seems good to you.” Therefore, the king stood beside the gate. And the people went out by their troops, by hundreds and by thousands.
Sarki ya ce, “Zan yi duk abin da ya fi muku kyau.” Saboda haka sarki ya tsaya kusa da bakin ƙofa yayinda dukan mutane suke fitowa a ƙungiyar ɗari-ɗari da ta dubu-dubu.
5 And the king ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Preserve for me the boy Absalom.” And all the people heard the king commanding all the leaders on behalf of Absalom.
Sarki ya umarci Yowab, Abishai, da Ittai, ya ce musu, “Ku yi mini hankali da saurayin nan Absalom.” Dukan mutane kuwa suka ji yadda sarki yake ba wa kowane komanda umarni.
6 And so, the people departed into the field against Israel. And the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.
Rundunonin suka tafi zuwa fili don su yi yaƙi da Isra’ila. Aka kuwa yi yaƙi a kurmin Efraim.
7 And the people of Israel were cut down in that place by the army of David. And a great slaughter occurred on that day: twenty thousand men.
A nan ne mutanen Isra’ila suka sha kashi a hannun mutanen Dawuda. Waɗanda suka yi rauni da kuma waɗanda suka mutu a ranar sun yi yawa, mutum dubu ashirin.
8 Now the battle in that place was dispersed over the face of all the land. And there were many more of the people whom the forest had consumed, than the sword had devoured, on that day.
Yaƙin ya bazu a duk fāɗin ƙauyukan, abin da kurmin ya ci kawai a ranar ya fi yawan abin da aka kashe da takobi.
9 Then it happened that Absalom, riding on a mule, met the servants of David. And when the mule had entered under a thick and large oak tree, his head became trapped in the oak. And while he was suspended between heaven and earth, the mule on which he had been sitting continued on.
To, Absalom ya haɗu da mutanen Dawuda. Yana hawan dokinsa, kuma yayinda dokin ya kusa kai cikin rassan babban itacen oak, sai kan Absalom ya sarƙafe a kan itacen oak ɗin. Dokin ya wuce da gudu, shi kuwa ya rataye a can yana lilo.
10 Then a certain one saw this and reported it to Joab, saying, “I saw Absalom hanging from an oak.”
Sa’ad da wani daga cikin mutanen ya gan haka, sai ya gaya wa Yowab, “Na ga Absalom yana rataye a itacen oak.”
11 And Joab said to the man who had reported it to him, “If you saw him, why did you not stab him to the ground, and I would have given you ten shekels of silver and a belt?”
Yowab ya ce wa mutumin da ya ba shi labarin, “Mene! Ka ga shi? Don me ba ka buge shi har ƙasa nan da nan ba? Ai, da na ba ka shekel goma na azurfa da abin ɗamarar jarumi.”
12 And he said to Joab: “Even if you weighed out to my hands one thousand silver coins, I would never lay my hands on the son of the king. For in our hearing the king ordered you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Keep for me the boy Absalom.’
Amma mutumin ya ce wa Yowab, “Ko da za a auna mini azurfa dubu a hannuna, ba zan miƙa hannuna in taɓa ɗan sarki ba. A kunnuwanmu fa sarki ya umarce ka, da Abishai, da Ittai cewa, ‘Ku tsare saurayin nan Absalom a madadina.’
13 Then too, if I had acted with such audacity, against my own life, this would never have been able to be hidden from the king. And would you then have stood by my side?”
Da na yi haka da na sa kaina a halin ƙaƙa-ni-ka-yi, kuma babu abin da zai ɓoyu ga sarki, kai kuwa za ka janye abinka daga gare ni.”
14 And Joab said, “It will not be as you wish. Instead, I will be assailing him in your sight.” Then he took three lances in his hand, and he fixed them in the heart of Absalom. And while he was still clinging to life upon the oak,
Yowab ya ce, “Ba zan ɓata lokaci da kai ba.” Saboda haka sai ya ɗauki māsu uku a hannunsa ya zura su a ƙahon zuciyar Absalom, tun Absalom yana da sauran rai a maƙale a itacen oak.
15 ten young men, armor bearers of Joab, ran up, and striking him, they killed him.
Masu ɗaukan kayan yaƙin Yowab goma kuwa sun kewaye Absalom, suka bubbuge shi suka kashe.
16 Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and he held back the people, lest they pursue Israel in their flight, for he was willing to spare the multitude.
Sa’an nan Yowab ya busa ƙaho, sai sojoji suka bar fafaran Isra’ila, gama Yowab ya tsai da su.
17 And they took Absalom, and they threw him into a great pit in the forest. And they piled an exceedingly great heap of stones over him. But all of Israel fled to their own tents.
Suka ɗauki Absalom, suka jefa shi cikin wani babban rami a kurmin, suka kuwa tula tsibin duwatsu a kansa. Ana cikin haka, sai dukan Isra’ilawa suka tsere zuwa gidajensu.
18 Now Absalom had raised up for himself, when he was still alive, a monument, which is in the Valley of the King. For he said, “I have no son, and so this shall be the memorial to my name.” And he called the monument by his own name. And it is called the Hand of Absalom, even to this day.
A lokacin da Absalom yake da rai, Absalom ya gina wa kansa al’amudin tunawa, a Kwarin Sarki, gama ya yi tunani ya ce, “Ba ni da ɗa namiji wanda zai sa a riƙa tunawa da ni.” Sai ya kira ginshiƙin da sunansa, ana kuwa kira shi Al’amudin Absalom har wa yau.
19 Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, “I will run and report to the king that the Lord has accomplished judgment for him, from the hand of his enemies.”
Ahimawaz ɗan Zadok ya ce, “Bari in ruga in kai wa sarki labari cewa Ubangiji ya cece shi daga hannun abokan gābansa.”
20 And Joab said to him: “You shall not be the messenger on this day. Instead, you shall report on another day. I am not willing for you to give the report today, because the son of the king is dead.”
Yowab ya ce, “Ba kai ba ne za ka kai wannan labari a yau ba. Kana iya kai labarin wani lokaci, amma yau kam ba zai yiwu ba, saboda ɗan sarki ya mutu.”
21 Then Joab said to Hushai, “Go, and report to the king what you have seen.” Hushai reverenced Joab, and he ran.
Sai Yowab ya ce wa wani mutumin Kush, “Je ka faɗa wa sarki abin da ka gani.” Mutumin Kush ɗin kuwa ya rusuna wa Yowab, sai ya ruga a guje.
22 And Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab again, “What prevents me from running after Hushai also?” And Joab said to him: “Why do you want to run, my son? You would not be the bearer of good news.”
Ahimawaz ɗan Zadok ya sāke ce wa Yowab, “Ko mene ne zai faru, ina roƙonka bari in bi bayan mutumin Kush nan.” Amma Yowab ya ce, “Ɗana me ya sa kake so ka je? Ba ka da labarin da zai jawo maka lada.”
23 And he responded, “But what if I do run?” And he said to him, “Run.” Then Ahimaaz, running along a shorter way, passed Hushai.
Ya ce, “Ko mene ne zai faru, ina so in ruga da gudu.” Sai Yowab ya ce, “Ruga!” Sai Ahimawaz ya sheƙa a guje ya bi ta hanyar fili ya riga mutumin Kush nan.
24 Now David was sitting between the two gates. Truly, the watchman, who was at the summit of the gate upon the wall, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running alone.
Yayinda Dawuda yake zaune tsakanin ƙofofin ciki da na waje, sai mai tsaro ya hau rufin ginin da yake kan hanyar shiga ta wajen katanga. Da ya duba sai ya ga wani mutum shi kaɗai yana gudu.
25 And crying out, he told the king. And the king said, “If he is alone, there is good news in his mouth.” But as he was advancing and drawing nearer,
Mai tsaro ya tā da murya ya faɗa wa sarki. Sarki ya ce, “In shi kaɗai ne, ya kawo labari mai kyau ke nan.” Mutumin ya matso kusa-kusa.
26 the watchman saw another man running. And so, crying out from the height, he said: “Another man has appeared, running alone.” And the king said, “This one also is a good messenger.”
Sai mai tsaron ya ga wani mutum yana zuwa a guje. Sai ya tā da murya ya kira mai tsaron ƙofa ya ce, “Duba, ga wani mutum kuma yana gudu shi kaɗai!” Sarki ya ce, “Shi ma yana kawo labari mai daɗi ne.”
27 Then the watchman said, “The running of the closest one seems like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok.” And the king said, “He is a good man, and he arrives bearing good news.”
Sai mai tsaron ya ce, “A ganina gudu na farin, ya yi kama da gudun Ahimawaz, ɗan Zadok.” Sarki ya ce, “Shi mutumin kirki ne, yana zuwa da saƙo mai kyau.”
28 Then, Ahimaaz, crying out, said to the king, “Be well, O king.” And reverencing the king prone on the ground before him, he said, “Blessed be the Lord your God, who has enclosed the men who had lifted up their hands against my lord the king.”
Sai Ahimawaz ya tā da murya ya ce wa sarki, “Kome lafiya yake!” Sai ya rusuna har ƙasa a gaban sarki ya ce, “Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji Allahnka! Ya ba da mutanen da suka tayar wa ranka yă daɗe a hannunsa.”
29 And the king said, “Is there peace for the boy Absalom?” And Ahimaaz said: “I saw a great tumult, O king, when your servant Joab sent me, your servant. I know nothing else.”
Sai sarki ya ce, “Saurayin nan Absalom yana nan da rai?” Ahimawaz ya ce, “Na ga wani babban rikicewar a daidai lokacin da Yowab yake gab da aikan bawan sarki da kuma ni, sai dai ban san ko mene ne ba.”
30 And the king said to him, “Pass, and stand here.” And when he had passed and stood still,
Sai sarki ya ce, “Koma gefe ka jira a can.” Sai ya ja gefe ya tsaya.
31 Hushai appeared. And approaching, he said: “I bear good news, my lord the king. For today the Lord has judged for you, from the hand of all who had risen up against you.”
Sai ga mutumin Kush ya iso ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe sarki, ka ji labari mai kyau! Ubangiji ya cece ka yau daga dukan waɗanda suka tayar maka.”
32 But the king said to Hushai, “Is there peace for the boy Absalom?” And responding, Hushai said to him, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise against him for evil, be as the boy is.”
Sarki ya ce wa mutumin Kush, “Saurayin nan Absalom, yana nan lafiya?” Mutumin Kush ya ce, “Allah yă sa abokan gāban ranka yă daɗe, da duk waɗanda suka tayar maka da mugunta, su zama kamar saurayin nan.”
33 And so the king, being greatly saddened, ascended to the upper room of the gate, and he wept. And as he went, he was speaking in this manner: “My son Absalom! Absalom my son! Who can grant to me that I may die on your behalf? Absalom, my son! My son, Absalom!”
Sai gaban sarki ya faɗi. Ya haura zuwa ɗakin da yake kan katangar hanyar shiga ya yi kuka. Yayinda yake tafiya ya ce, “Ya ɗana Absalom! Ɗana, ɗana Absalom! Da ma a ce ni ne na mutu maimakonka. Ya Absalom, ɗana, ɗana!”
