< 2 Samuel 20 >
1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
Akwai wani mai tā-da-na-zaune-tsaye, sunansa Sheba, ɗan Bikri, daga kabilar Benyamin, a wurin. Sai ya busa ƙaho, ya yi ihu ya ce, “Ba mu da rabo a wurin Dawuda, ba mu da sashe a wurin ɗan Yesse! Kowa yă nufi tentinsa, ya Isra’ila!”
2 So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
Saboda haka dukan mutane Isra’ila suka bar Dawuda don su bi Sheba ɗan Bikri. Amma mutanen Yahuda suka kasance a wurin sarki tun daga Urdun har zuwa Urushalima.
3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
Da Dawuda ya komo fadarsa a Urushalima, sai ya ɗauko ƙwarƙwaran goma nan da ya bari su lura da fada, ya keɓe su a wani gida inda za a yi tsaronsu. Ya tanada musu, amma bai kwana da su ba. Aka sa su a keɓe har iyakar rayuwarsu, suka yi zama kamar gwauraye.
4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be you here present.
Sa’an nan sarki ya ce wa Amasa, “Ka tattaro mutanen Yahuda su zo wurina cikin kwana uku, kai kuwa ka kasance a can kai kanka.”
5 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
Amma da Amasa ya tafi kiran mutanen Yahuda, ya ɗauki lokaci fiye da lokacin da sarki ya ba shi.
6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take you your lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
Dawuda ya ce wa Abishai, “Ina gani Sheba ɗan Bikri zai ba mu wuya fiye da Absalom. Ka ɗauki mutanen maigidanka ka fafare shi, don kada yă sami garuruwa masu katanga yă tsere mana.”
7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Saboda haka mutanen Yowab da Keretawa da Feletiyawa da dukan jarumawa suka fita a ƙarƙashin Abishai. Suka fita daga Urushalima don su fafari Sheba ɗan Bikri.
8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
Yayinda suke a babban dutse a Gibeyon, Amasa ya zo don yă tarye su. Yowab kuwa yana sanye da doguwar rigar soja, a ɗamarar da ya sha kuwa akwai wuƙa a cikin kube. Da ya zo gaba sai wuƙar ta zāre daga kube ta fāɗi.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, Are you in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
Yowab ya ce wa Amasa, “Yaya kake, ɗan’uwana?” Sai Yowab ya kama gemun Amasa da hannun dama don yă yi masa sumba.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he stroke him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Amasa kuwa bai lura da wuƙar da take hannun Yowab ba, Yowab kuwa ya soke shi da wuƙar a ciki, hanjinsa suka zube ƙasa. Ba tare da ƙarin suƙa ba, Amasa ya mutu. Sa’an nan Yowab da ɗan’uwansa Abishai suka fafari Sheba ɗan Bikri.
11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favours Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
Ɗaya daga cikin mutanen Yowab ya tsaya kusa da Amasa ya ce, “Duk mai son Yowab, kuma duk mai son Dawuda, yă bi Yowab!”
12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
Amasa kuwa yana kwance cikin tafkin jininsa a kan hanya, sai mutumin ya ga dukan sojoji suka zo suka tsaya cik a can. Da ya gane cewa duk wanda ya haura zuwa wurin Amasa sai ya tsaya, sai ya ja gawar Amasa daga hanyar ya kai can cikin wani fili ya rufe shi da zane.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Bayan an ɗauke Amasa daga hanya, sai dukan mutane suka bi Yowab don fafaran Sheba ɗan Bikri.
14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
Sheba ya bi ta dukan kabilan Isra’ila zuwa Abel da kuma ta dukan yankin Beriyawa, waɗanda suka taru suka bi shi.
15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
Sai dukan rundunonin da suke tare da Yowab suka zo suka yi wa Sheba kwanton ɓauna a Abel-Bet-Ma’aka. Suka tara ƙasa kewaye da jikin katangar birnin daidai da tsayinta. Sa’an nan waɗansu kuma suna ƙoƙarin rushe katangar.
16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near here, that I may speak with you.
Sai wata mata mai hikima ta yi kira daga ciki birnin ta ce, “Ku saurara! Ku saurara! Ku gaya wa Yowab yă zo nan ina so in yi magana da shi.”
17 And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Are you Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of your handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
Ya tafi wurinta, sai ta ce, “Kai ne Yowab?” Ya ce, “Ni ne”. Ta ce, “Ka ji abin da zan ce maka.” Ya ce, “Ina jinki.”
18 Then she spoke, saying, They were known to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
Ta ci gaba ta ce, “A dā can, akan ce, ‘Sami amsarka a Abel,’ shi ke nan an gama.
19 I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: you seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why will you swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
Mu ne masu salama da kuma amintattu na Isra’ila. Kana ƙoƙari ka hallaka birnin da yake uwa a Isra’ila. Don me kake so ka hallakar da gādon Ubangiji?”
20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
Yowab ya ce, “Allah yă sawwaƙe! Allah yă sawwaƙe in hallaka, ko in lalace gādon Ubangiji.
21 The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.
Ba haka ba ne batun. Wani mai suna Sheba ɗan Bikri ne, daga ƙasar tudun Efraim, ya tayar wa sarki, yana gāba da Dawuda. Ki ba mu wannan mutum, zan kuwa janye daga birnin.” Matar ta ce wa Yowab, “Za a jefa maka kansa daga katanga.”
22 Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
Sa’an nan matar ta tafi wurin dukan mutane da shawararta mai hikima, sai suka datse kan Sheba ɗan Bikri suka jefa wa Yowab. Saboda haka sai ya busa ƙaho, mutanensa kuwa suka watse daga birnin, kowa ya koma gidansa. Yowab kuma ya koma wurin sarki a Urushalima.
23 Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
Yowab ne yake shugabancin dukan rundunoni; Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ne yake shugabancin Keretawa da Feletiyawa;
24 And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
Adoniram kuwa shi ne shugaban aikin gandu; Yehoshafat ɗan Ahilud shi ne marubucin tarihi;
25 And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
Shewa kuwa magatakarda; Zadok da Abiyatar su ne firistoci;
26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
Ira mutumin Yayir kuwa shi ne firist na Dawuda.
