< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 Sometime after this, Nahash, the Ammonite king died and his son Hanun succeeded him.
Ana nan sai sarkin Ammonawa ya rasu, ɗansa Hanun kuwa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
2 David said, “I will be kind to Hanun, son of Nahash, just as his father was kind to me.” So David sent representatives to take his condolences to Hanun regarding his father. But when they arrived in the country of the Ammonites,
Dawuda ya yi tunani a ransa ya ce, “Zan yi wa Hanun ɗan Nahash alheri kamar yadda mahaifinsa ya yi mini.” Saboda haka sai Dawuda ya aiki jakadu su yi masa ta’aziyyar mutuwar mahaifinsa. Sa’ad da mutanen Dawuda suka isa ƙasar Ammonawa,
3 the Ammonite military leaders said to Hanun their king, “Do you really believe David sent condolences to you out of respect for your father? Isn't it more likely that David sent his representatives to scout out the city, spy on it, and then conquer it?”
sai manyan mutanen Ammonawa suka ce wa Hanun shugabansu, “Kana tsammani Dawuda yana girmama mahaifinka ne da ya aiko da jakadu su kawo maka ta’aziyya? Ai, wayo ya yi don yă ga asirin birninmu, yă san ƙarfinmu, yă kuma ci mu da yaƙi.”
4 So Hanun had David's representatives detained, shaved off half of each man's beard, cut off their clothes at the buttocks, and then sent them back home.
Saboda haka Hanun ya kama mutanen Dawuda ya aske rabin gemun kowannensu, ya yayyage rigunarsu daidai ɗuwawu, sa’an nan ya sallame su.
5 When David was told about this, he sent messengers to meet them, because they were very embarrassed. The king instructed them, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have re-grown, and then you can return.”
Sa’ad da aka gaya wa Dawuda game da wannan, sai ya aiki manzanni su taryi waɗannan mutanen da aka ci mutuncinsu, gama an wulaƙanta su ƙwarai. Sai sarki ya ce musu, “Ku dakata a Yeriko har sai gemunku ya sāke girma, sa’an nan ku dawo.”
6 When the Ammonites realized they had become like a bad smell to David, they sent a request to the Arameans and hired twenty thousand of their foot soldiers from Beth Rehob and Zobah, as well as one thousand men from the king of Maakah, and also twelve thousand men from Tob.
Da Ammonawa suka gane cewa Dawuda ya ji fushi da su sosai saboda abin da suka yi, sai suka yi hayar sojojin ƙasar Arameyawa dubu ashirin daga Bet Rehob da Aram-Zoba, suka kuma yi hayar sarkin Ma’aka tare da mutum dubu ɗaya, suka kuma yi hayar maza dubu goma sha biyu daga Tob.
7 When David learned of this, he sent Joab and the entire army to confront them.
Da jin haka, Dawuda ya tura Yowab da dukan sojojin yaƙi.
8 The Ammonites set up their battle lines near the entrance to their town gate, while the Arameans of Zobah and Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah took up positions by themselves in the open fields.
Ammonawa suka fita suka ja dāgār yaƙi a ƙofar shiga birninsu, yayinda Aram-Zoba, da na Rehob, da mutane Tob, da kuma na Ma’aka, suka ja tasu dāgār a karkara.
9 Joab realized he would have to fight both in front of him and behind him, he chose some of Israel's best troops and he took charge of them to lead the attack the Arameans.
Yowab ya ga cewa an ja masa dāgār yaƙi gaba da baya; saboda haka sai ya zaɓi waɗansu shahararrun sojoji cikin Isra’ila, ya sa su gabza da Arameyawa.
10 He put the rest of the army under the command of Abishai, his brother. They were to attack the Ammonites.
Ya sa sauran mutanen a ƙarƙashin Abishai ɗan’uwansa, ya sa su gabza da Ammonawa.
11 Joab told him, “If the Arameans are stronger than me, you come and help me. If the Ammonites are stronger than you, I'll come and help you.
Yowab ya ce, “In Arameyawa suka fi ƙarfina, sai ku kawo mini gudummawa; amma in Ammonawa suka fi ƙarfinku, sai mu kawo muku gudummawa.
12 Be brave, and fight your best for our people and the towns of our God. May the Lord do what he sees as good!”
Ku yi ƙarfin hali, mu kuma yi yaƙi da ƙarfin zuciya saboda mutanenmu da kuma birane Allahnmu. Ubangiji zai yi abin da yake da kyau a idanunsa.”
13 Joab attacked the Arameans with his forces and they ran away from him.
Sa’an nan Yowab da rundunar da take tare da shi suka ci gaba don su gabza da Arameyawa, Arameyawa kuwa suka gudu a gabansa.
14 When the Ammonites saw that the Arameans had run away, they also ran away from Abishai, and retreated into the town. So Joab went back to Jerusalem after fighting the Ammonites.
Da Ammonawa suka ga Arameyawa suna gudu, sai su ma suka ruga da gudu a gaban Abishai, suka shiga cikin birni. Sa’an nan Yowab ya komo Urushalima daga wurin yaƙin da ya yi da Ammonawa.
15 As soon as the Arameans saw they had been defeated by the Israelites they reassembled their forces.
Bayan Arameyawa suka ga Isra’ila ta ci su da yaƙi, sai suka sāke tattara kansu.
16 Hadadezer sent for more Arameans to be brought from beyond the Euphrates River. They arrived in Helam under the leadership of Shobach, commander of Hadadezer's army.
Hadadezer sarkin Zoba ya aika a kawo Arameyawan da suke ƙetaren Kogin Yuferites. Suka iso Helam a ƙarƙashin shugabancin Shobak, shugaban dukan sojojin Hadadezer.
17 When this was reported to David, he assembled all Israel together. He crossed the Jordan and advanced on Helam. The Arameans positioned themselves in battle line against David and fought him.
Da aka gaya wa Dawuda wannan, sai ya tattara dukan Isra’ila, ya ƙetare Urdun, ya je Helam. Arameyawa suka ja dāgār yaƙinsu, suka kara da Dawuda.
18 But the Aramean army ran away from the Israelites, and David killed 700 charioteers and 40,000 infantry. He also attacked Shobach, their army commander, and he died there.
Amma Arameyawa suka gudu a gaban Isra’ila, Dawuda kuwa ya kashe mahayan keken yaƙinsu ɗari bakwai, da sojojin ƙasa dubu arba’in. Ya bugi Shobak, shugaban ƙungiyar sojansu ya kuwa mutu a can.
19 When all the kings allied with Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and became subject to him. As a result, the Arameans were afraid to help the Ammonites any more.
Sa’ad da dukan sarakuna waɗanda suke abokan tarayya na Hadadezer suka ga Isra’ila sun ci su da yaƙi, sai suka yi sulhu da Isra’ilawa, suka kuma zama bayinsu. Wannan ya sa Arameyawa suka ji tsoron ƙara kai wa Ammonawa gudummawa.
