< 2 Samuel 19 >

1 Soon Joab was told, “The king is crying and mourning for Absalom.”
Aka faɗa wa Yowab cewa, “Sarki yana kuka, yana kuma makoki saboda Absalom.”
2 Victory that day was turned into mourning for the whole army, because they were told, “The king is grieving for 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 They stole back into town that day like defeated people steal in, ashamed of running away from the battle.
Mutane fa suka shiga birni shiru, sai ka ce waɗanda sukan sace jiki don kunya sa’ad da suka gudo daga yaƙi.
4 The king held his face in his hands and sobbed loudly, “My son Absalom! 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 inside and told the king, “Today you have humiliated all your men who have saved your life, and the lives of your sons, your daughters, your wives, and 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 did this by loving those who hate you and hating those who love you. Today you have made it plain that the commanders and the men don't mean anything to you. Today I'm sure that you'd be quite happy if Absalom was alive and all of us were dead!
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 So get up, go out, and thank your men. I swear by the Lord that if you don't, you won't have a man left by tonight. That will be far worse for you than all the disasters you've had 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 went to sit at the town gate. Everybody was told: “Look, the king is sitting at the town gate.” They all came to see the king. In the meantime the Israelites had run away and gone to their homes.
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 Everyone among the tribes of Israel were arguing with each other, saying, “The king rescued us from the persecution of our enemies, he saved us from the Philistines, but now he's had to run from the country 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 Now Absalom, the man we chose to be our king by anointing him, he's died in battle. Why don't we do something and invite King David to come back?”
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 King David sent this message to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests: “Tell the elders of Judah, ‘Are you going to be the last people to bring the king back to his palace, since the king has heard that all of Israel wants it?
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. Why should you be the last ones to want to bring the king back?’
Ku’yan’uwana ne, jikina, jinina kuma. To, don me za ku zama na ƙarshe na yarda a dawo da sarki zuwa fada?’
13 Tell Amasa, ‘Aren't you my flesh and blood too? May God punish me very severely if from now on you're not the commander of my army instead 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 Amasa convinced all the people of Judah to unitedly support David, so they sent a message to the king: “Please come back, you and everyone with you.”
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 The king began his journey back, and when he arrived at the Jordan, the men of Judah met him at Gilgal to help him cross the river.
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 Shimei, son of Gera, the 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 With him were one thousand men from the tribe of Benjamin, including Ziba, servant of Saul's family, as well as Ziba's fifteen sons and twenty servants. They rushed down to the Jordan to meet 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 They crossed at the ford to bring the king's household over and whatever else he wanted. Shimei crossed the Jordan and fell facedown 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 “Your Majesty, please forgive me and disregard the wrong that I, your servant, did when Your Majesty left Jerusalem. Please forget all about it.
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 I, your servant, recognize that I have sinned. But look! Today I'm the first from any of the tribes of Joseph to come down and meet Your Majesty.”
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 Abishai, son of Zeruiah, said, “Shouldn't Shimei be executed for this, because he cursed the Lord's anointed one?”
Sai Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ya ce, “Bai kamata a kashe Shimeyi saboda wannan ba? Ya la’anci shafaffe na Ubangiji.”
22 But David replied, “What's that got do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Do you want to be my enemies today? Is this a day to execute anybody in Israel? Aren't I certain that today I'm the king of Israel once more?”
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 David turned to Shimei and swore an oath to him, “You're not going to die.”
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 to meet the king. He had refused to look after his feet or trim his mustache or have his clothes washed from the day the king left until the day of his peaceful return.
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 When he arrived from Jerusalem to meet the king, the king asked him, “Why didn't you come with me, Mephibosheth?”
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 Mephibosheth answered, “Your Majesty, my servant Ziba tricked me. I told him, ‘Saddle up my donkey so I can ride her and leave with the king,’ because you know that I'm lame.
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 Ziba has misrepresented me, your servant, to Your Majesty. However, Your Majesty is like an angel of God, so do what you think best.
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 All my grandfather's family could only expect death from Your Majesty, but you included me, your servant, among those who eat at your table. So what right do I have to ask the king for anything more?”
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 “Why talk any more about these issues of yours?” David responded. “I've decided that you and Ziba should 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 Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Let him have it all! I'm just happy that Your Majesty has returned home in peace.”
Mefiboshet ya ce wa sarki, “Bari yă ɗauki kome, yanzu da ranka yă daɗe, sarki ya dawo gida lafiya.”
31 Barzillai the Gileadite had also came down from Rogelim to help the king cross the Jordan and to make his way onwards 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 very old, eighty years of age, and because he was a very wealthy man, he had provided the king with food while he was staying 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 the Jordan with me, and I will provide for you while you stay with me in Jerusalem.”
Sarki ya ce wa Barzillai, “Ka ƙetaro tare da ni ka zauna tare da ni a Urushalima, zan kuwa tanada maka.”
34 “How much longer do you think I have to live so I could go to Jerusalem and stay there with the king?” Barzillai replied.
Amma Barzillai ya ce wa sarki, “Shekara nawa ya rage mini har da zan tafi Urushalima da sarki?
35 “I'm already eighty. I don't enjoy anything anymore. I can't taste what I eat or drink. I can't hear when people sing. There's no point for me, your servant, to be another burden to Your Majesty!
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 For your servant to cross the Jordan River with the king is enough reward for me!
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 Then let your servant go back home, that I may die in my home town near the tomb of my father and mother. But here is your servant, my son Chimham. Let him cross over with Your Majesty, and treat him as you think best.”
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 treat him as you think best, and I will do for you whatever you want.”
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 everybody crossed the Jordan first, and then the king crossed over. The king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and then Barzillai went back 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 carried on to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him. The whole army of Judah and half the army of Israel accompanied 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 But soon the men of Israel who were there came to the king and asked him, “Why did our brothers, the men of Judah, secretly take Your Majesty away and bring you and your household across the Jordan, together with all your 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 The men of Judah explained to the men of Israel, “We did this because the king is one of our relatives. Why are you getting upset about this? When did we ever eat the king's food? When did we ever get anything for yourselves?”
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've got ten shares in the king,” the men of Israel replied, “so we have a greater claim on David than you do. So why do you look down us? Weren't we the first ones to talk about bringing back our king?” But the men of Judah argued even more strongly 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.
