2 Samuel 14
1 And Joab son of Zeruial knows that the heart of the king [is] on Absalom,
Yowab, ɗan Zeruhiya ya gane cewa zuriyar sarki ta koma ga Absalom.
2 and Joab sends to Tekoah, and takes a wise woman from there, and says to her, “Please feign yourself a mourner, and now put on garments of mourning, and do not anoint yourself with oil, and you have been as a woman mourning for the dead [for] these many days,
Saboda haka Yowab ya aiki wani zuwa Tekowa, ya sa a zo da wata mace mai hikima. Ya ce mata, “Ki yi kamar kina makoki. Ki sa rigar makoki, kada kuwa ki shafa mai. Ki yi kamar macen da ta yi kwanaki da yawa, tana makokin matattu.
3 and you have gone to the king, and spoken to him, according to this word”; and Joab puts the words into her mouth.
Sa’an nan ki je wurin sarki, ki ce masa haka.” Sai Yowab ya faɗa mata duk abin da za tă faɗa.
4 And the woman of Tekoah speaks to the king, and falls on her face to the earth, and pays respect, and says, “Save, O king.”
Da macen da ta fito daga Tekowa ta je wajen sarki, sai ta rusuna har ƙasa don bangirma, sai ta ce, “Ka taimake ni, ya sarki!”
5 And the king says to her, “What do you [want]?” And she says, “I [am] truly a widow woman, and my husband dies,
Sarki ya ce mata, “Mece ce matsalarki?” Sai ta ce, “Tabbatacce, ni gwauruwa ce; mijina ya mutu.
6 and your maidservant has two sons; and both of them strive in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and one strikes the other, and puts him to death;
Baiwarka tana da’ya’ya maza biyu. Suka yi faɗa da juna a fili, kuma ba wanda yake can don yă raba su. Ɗayan ya bugi ɗayan, ya kashe shi.
7 and behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and say, Give up him who strikes his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he has slain, and we also destroy the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left—so as not to set a name and remnant on the face of the ground for my husband.”
To, ga duk iyali sun hau kan baiwarka, suna cewa, ‘Ki ba mu ɗayan da ya kashe ɗan’uwansa mu kashe don ran ɗan’uwansa da ya kashe; sa’an nan za mu hallaka magājin shi ma.’ Za su kashe garwashin wuta mai ci da nake da shi kaɗai, su bar mijina ba suna, ba jika, a duniya.”
8 And the king says to the woman, “Go to your house, and I give charge concerning you.”
Sarki ya ce wa macen, “Koma gida, zan ba da umarni a madadinki.”
9 And the woman of Tekoah says to the king, “On me, my lord, O king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father; and the king and his throne [are] innocent.”
Amma macen da ta fito daga Tekowa ta ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, sarki! Bari alhakin shari’arka yă kasance a kaina da gidan mahaifina, kai sarki da gidan mulkinka, ba ku da laifi a ciki.”
10 And the king says, “He who speaks to you, and you have brought him to me, then he does not add to come against you anymore.”
Sai sarki ya ce, “In wani ya yi miki magana, ki kawo shi wurina, ba zai kuwa ƙara damunki ba.”
11 And she says, “Please let the king remember by your God YHWH, that the redeemer of blood does not add to destroy, and they do not destroy my son”; and he says, “YHWH lives; if there falls [even one] hair of your son to the earth.”
Sai ta ce, “To, bari sarki yă rantse da Ubangiji Allahnsa don yă hana mai ramako yin ƙarin hallakawar da aka yi, domin kada a hallaka ɗana.” Sai ya ce, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, babu gashi guda na ɗanki da zai fāɗi ƙasa.”
12 And the woman says, “Please let your maidservant speak a word to my lord the king”; and he says, “Speak.”
Sai matar ta ce, “Bari baiwarka ta ƙara yin magana sau ɗayan nan wa ranka yă daɗe.” Ya ce, “Ki faɗa.”
13 And the woman says, “And why have you thought thus concerning the people of God? Indeed, the king is speaking this thing as a guilty one, in that the king has not brought back his outcast;
Matar ta ce, “To, don me ka yi wa mutanen Allah irin wannan abu? Sa’ad da sarki ya ce haka, ashe, ba ka hukunta kanka ke nan ba, tun da yake sarki bai yarda ɗansa yă komo gida ba?
14 for we surely die, and [are] as water which is running down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God does not accept a person, and has devised plans in that the outcast is not outcast by Him.
Kamar ruwan da ya zuba a ƙasa, wanda ba a iya kwasa, haka dole mu mutu. Amma Allah ba ya ɗaukan rai; a maimako, yakan ƙirƙiro hanyoyi domin mutumin da aka kora kada yă kasance yasasshe daga gare shi.
15 And now that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, [it is] because the people made me afraid, and your maidservant says, Please let me speak to the king; it may be the king does the word of his handmaid,
“Yanzu ga shi na zo don in faɗa wannan wa ranka yă daɗe sarki, don mutane sun tsorata ni. Baiwarka ta yi tunani ta ce, ‘Zan yi magana wa sarki; wataƙila yă yi abin da baiwarsa ta roƙa.
16 for the king listens to deliver his handmaid out of the paw of the man [seeking] to destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God,
Wataƙila sarki zai yarda yă ceci baiwarsa daga hannun mutumin nan da yake ƙoƙari yă hallaka ni da ɗana daga gādon da Allah ya ba mu.’
17 and your maidservant says, Please let the word of my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so [is] my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and your God YHWH is with you.”
“Yanzu kuwa baiwarka tana cewa, ‘Bari magana ranka yă daɗe sarki yă ba ni hutu, gama ranka yă daɗe sarki yana kama da mala’ikan Allah cikin rarrabe nagarta da mugunta. Bari Ubangiji Allahnka yă kasance tare da kai.’”
18 And the king answers and says to the woman, “Please do not hide from me the thing that I am asking you”; and the woman says, “Please let my lord the king speak.”
Sai sarki ya ce wa matar, “Kada ki ɓoye mini kome daga abin da zan tambaye ki.” Matar ta ce, “Bari ranka yă daɗe sarki yă yi tambaya.”
19 And the king says, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman answers and says, “Your soul lives, my lord, O king, none [turn] to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king has spoken; for your servant Joab commanded me, and he put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant.
Sarki ya ce, “Anya, babu hannun Yowab a cikin dukan wannan?” Matar ta ce, “Muddin kana a raye, ranka yă daɗe sarki, ba wanda zai juya dama ko hagu daga wani abin da ranka yă daɗe sarki ya faɗa. I, bawanka Yowab ne ya umarce ni in yi wannan, shi ne kuma ya sa kalmomin nan a bakin baiwarka.
20 Your servant Joab has done this thing in order to bring around the appearance of the thing, and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all that [is] in the land.”
Bawanka Yowab ne ya yi haka don yă daidaita al’amura. Ranka yă daɗe yana da hikima iri ta mala’ikan Allah, ya san dukan kome da yake faruwa a ƙasar.”
21 And the king says to Joab, “Now behold, you have done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom.”
Sarki ya ce wa Yowab, “To, da kyau, zan yi haka. Je ka, ka dawo da saurayin nan Absalom.”
22 And Joab falls on his face to the earth, and pays respect, and blesses the king, and Joab says, “Today your servant has known that I have found grace in your eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king has done the word of his servant.”
Yowab ya rusuna har ƙasa don bangirma, ya kuma yi wa sarki kyakkyawar fata. Yowab ya ce, “Yau, bawanka ya sani ya sami tagomashi a gare ka, ranka yă daɗe sarki, gama sarki ya ji roƙon bawansa.”
23 And Joab rises and goes to Geshur, and brings in Absalom to Jerusalem,
Sa’an nan Yowab ya tafi Geshur ya dawo da Absalom Urushalima.
24 and the king says, “Let him turn around to his house, and he does not see my face.” And Absalom turns around to his house, and he has not seen the face of the king.
Amma sarki ya ce, “Yă tafi gidansa; kada yă zo yă gan ni.” Saboda haka Absalom ya tafi gidansa, bai kuwa je ganin sarki ba.
25 And there was no man [so] beautiful in all Israel like Absalom, to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even to his crown there was no blemish in him;
A cikin dukan Isra’ila babu wanda ake yabon kyansa kamar Absalom. Tun daga kansa har zuwa tafin ƙafansa babu tabo a jikinsa.
26 and in his shaving his head—and it has been at the end of year by year that he shaves [it], for it [is] heavy on him, and he has shaved it—he has even weighed out the hair of his head—two hundred shekels by the king’s weight.
A duk sa’ad da ya aske gashin kansa (yakan aske kansa lokaci-lokaci sa’ad da ya yi masa nauyi) yakan auna shi, nauyin gashin kuwa yakan kai wajen shekel ɗari biyu a ma’aunin da ake awo.
27 And there are born to Absalom three sons and one daughter, and her name [is] Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.
Aka haifa wa Absalom’ya’ya uku maza da’ya mace guda. Sunanta Tamar, ta kuwa zama kyakkyawan mace ƙwarai.
28 And Absalom dwells in Jerusalem [for] two years of days, and he has not seen the face of the king;
Absalom ya zauna a Urushalima shekara biyu amma ba tare da ganin fuskar sarki ba.
29 and Absalom sends to Joab, to send him to the king, and he has not been willing to come to him; and he sends again a second time, and he has not been willing to come.
Sai Absalom ya aika a kira masa Yowab don yă aike shi wurin sarki, amma Yowab ya ƙi zuwa. Saboda haka ya sāke aika sau na biyu, amma ya ƙi yă zo.
30 And he says to his servants, “See, the portion of Joab [is] by the side of mine, and he has barley there; go and burn it with fire”; and the servants of Absalom burn the portion with fire.
Sai ya ce wa bayinsa, “Duba, gonar Yowab tana gab da tawa, kuma yana da sha’ir a can. Ku je ku sa mata wuta.” Sai bayin Absalom suka sa wa gonar wuta.
31 And Joab rises and comes to Absalom in the house, and says to him, “Why have your servants burned the portion that I have with fire?”
Sa’an nan Yowab ya tafi gidan Absalom ya ce masa, “Me ya sa bayinka suka sa wa gonata wuta?”
32 And Absalom says to Joab, “Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here, and I send you to the king to say, Why have I come in from Geshur? [It was] good for me while I [was] there—and now, let me see the king’s face, and if there is iniquity in me then you have put me to death.”
Absalom ya ce wa Yowab, “Kai, na aika, ‘Ka zo nan don in aike ka wurin sarki ka tambaya, “Me ya sa na dawo daga Geshur? Ai, ya fi mini a ce ina can har yanzu!”’ Yanzu kuwa, ina so in ga sarki, kuma idan na yi wani laifi, to, yă kashe ni.”
33 And Joab comes to the king, and declares [it] to him, and he calls to Absalom, and he comes to the king, and bows himself to him, on his face, to the earth, before the king, and the king gives a kiss to Absalom.
Saboda haka Yowab ya tafi wurin sarki ya gaya masa wannan. Sai sarki ya aika aka zo da Absalom, ya kuma rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa a gaban sarki. Sarki kuwa ya sumbaci Absalom.
