2 Samuel 18
1 And David inspects the people who [are] with him, and sets over them heads of thousands and heads of hundreds,
Dawuda ya tattara mutanen da suke tare da shi, ya naɗa musu komandodi na dubu-dubu, da na ɗari-ɗari.
2 and David sends the third of the people by the hand of Joab, and the third by the hand of Abishai, son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, and the third by the hand of Ittai the Gittite, and the king says to the people, “I certainly go out—I also—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 say, “You do not go out, for if we utterly flee, they do not set [their] heart on us; and if half of us die, they do not set [their] heart to us—for [you are] now like ten thousand of us; and now, [it is] better that you are for a helper to us from the city.”
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 says to them, “That which is good in your eyes I do”; and the king stands at the side of the gate, and all the people have gone out 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 charges Joab, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, “[Deal] gently—for me, for the youth, for Absalom”; and all the people heard in the king’s charging all the heads concerning 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 the people go out into the field to meet Israel, and the battle is in a 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 are struck there before the servants of David, and the striking there is great on that day—twenty thousand;
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 and the battle there is scattered over the face of all the land, and the forest multiplies to devour among the people more than those whom the sword has devoured in 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 And Absalom meets before the servants of David, and Absalom is riding on the mule, and the mule comes in under an entangled bough of the great oak, and his head takes hold on the oak, and he is placed between the heavens and the earth, and the mule that [is] under him has passed 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 And one man sees, and declares [it] to Joab, and says, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in 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 says to the man who is declaring [it] to him, “And behold, you have seen—and why did you not strike him there to the earth—and [it would be] on me to give to you ten pieces of silver and one girdle?”
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 the man says to Joab, “Indeed, though I am weighing on my hand one thousand pieces of silver, I do not put forth my hand to the son of the king; for in our ears the king has charged you, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Observe who [is] against the youth—against 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 or I had done a vain thing against my soul, and no matter is hid from the king, and you would station yourself opposite from [me].”
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 says, “[It is] not right [that] I linger before you”; and he takes three darts in his hand, and strikes them into the heart of Absalom, while he [is] alive, in the midst of 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 And they go around—ten youths carrying weapons of Joab—and strike Absalom, and put him to death.
Masu ɗaukan kayan yaƙin Yowab goma kuwa sun kewaye Absalom, suka bubbuge shi suka kashe.
16 And Joab blows with a horn, and the people turn back from pursuing after Israel, for Joab has kept back the people;
Sa’an nan Yowab ya busa ƙaho, sai sojoji suka bar fafaran Isra’ila, gama Yowab ya tsai da su.
17 and they take Absalom and cast him into the great pit in the forest, and set up a very great heap of stones over him, and all Israel has fled—each to his tent.
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 And Absalom has taken, and sets up for himself in his life, the standing-pillar that [is] in the king’s valley, for he said, “I have no son to cause my name to be remembered”; and he calls the standing-pillar by his own name, and it is called “The Monument of Absalom” 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 And Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Please let me run, and I bear the king tidings, for YHWH has delivered him out of 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 says to him, “You are not a man of tidings this day, but you have borne tidings on another day, and this day you do not bear tidings, because the king’s son [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 And Joab says to Cushi, “Go, declare to the king that which you have seen”; and Cushi bows himself to Joab, and runs.
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 son of Zadok adds again and says to Joab, “And whatever it is, please let me run, I also, after the Cushite.” And Joab says, “Why [is] this—you are running, my son, and [there are] no tidings found from you?”
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 whatever happens,” he said, “let me run.” And he says to him, “Run”; and Ahimaaz runs the way of the circuit, and passes by the Cushite.
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 And David is sitting between the two gates, and the watchman goes to the roof of the gate, to the wall, and lifts up his eyes, and looks, and behold, a man running by himself.
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 the watchman calls, and declares [it] to the king, and the king says, “If [he is] by himself, tidings [are] in his mouth”; and he comes, coming on and drawing near.
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 And the watchman sees another man running, and the watchman calls to the gatekeeper, and says, “Behold, a man running by himself”; and the king says, “This one is also bearing tidings.”
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 And the watchman says, “I see the running of the first as the running of Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” And the king says, “This [is] a good man, and he comes with good tidings.”
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 And Ahimaaz calls and says to the king, “Peace”; and he bows himself to the king, on his face, to the earth, and says, “Blessed [is] your God YHWH who has shut up the men who lifted up their hand 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 says, “Peace to the youth—for Absalom?” And Ahimaaz says, “I saw the great multitude, at the sending away of the servant of the king, even your servant [by] Joab, and I have not known what [it is].”
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 says, “Turn around, station yourself here”; and he turns around and stands still.
Sai sarki ya ce, “Koma gefe ka jira a can.” Sai ya ja gefe ya tsaya.
31 And behold, the Cushite has come, and the Cushite says, “Let tidings be proclaimed, my lord, O king; for today YHWH has delivered you out of the hand of all those rising 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 And the king says to the Cushite, “Peace to the youth—for Absalom?” And the Cushite says, “Let them be—as the youth—the enemies of my lord the king, and all who have risen up against you for evil.”
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 the king trembles, and goes up on the upper chamber of the gate, and weeps, and thus he has said in his going, “My son Absalom! My son! My son Absalom! Oh that I had died for you, Absalom, my son, my son!”
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!”
