< 2 Samuel 3 >
1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
Aka daɗe ana yaƙi tsakanin gidan Shawulu da gidan Dawuda. Dawuda kuwa ya yi ta ƙara ƙarfi, yayinda gidan Shawulu ya yi ta raguwa a ƙarfi.
2 Now sons were born to David in Hebron. And his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam of Jezreel;
An haifa wa Dawuda’ya’ya maza a Hebron. Ɗansa na fari shi ne Amnon, ɗan Ahinowam mutuniyar Yezireyel;
3 and his second, Daluiah, of Abigail of Carmel; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
na biyu shi ne Kileyab, ɗan Abigiyel gwauruwar Nabal mutumin Karmel; na uku shi ne Absalom, ɗan Ma’aka’yar Talmai sarkin Geshur;
4 and the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, of Abital;
na huɗu shi ne Adoniya, ɗan Haggit; na biyar shi ne Shefatiya, ɗan Abital;
5 and the sixth, Ithream, of Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
na shida kuma shi ne Itireyam, ɗan Egla matar Dawuda. An haifi waɗannan wa Dawuda a Hebron.
6 And it came about while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner was gaining power in the house of Saul.
Sa’ad da ake yaƙi tsakanin gidan Shawulu da gidan Dawuda, sai Abner ya yi ta ƙarfafa matsayinsa a gidan Shawulu.
7 Now Saul had a secondary wife, Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbaal son of Saul said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's secondary wife?"
To, Shawulu yana da ƙwarƙwarar da ake kira Rizfa,’yar Aiya. Sai Ish-Boshet ya ce wa Abner, “Don me kake kwana da ƙwarƙwarar mahaifina?”
8 Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ishbaal, and said, "Am I a dog's head? Until today, is it for myself that I have been doing all these things, showing loyalty to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David? And yet you charge me this day with a fault concerning this woman.
Abner ya husata saboda abin da Ish-Boshet ya ce, sai ya ce, “Kana tsammani ni mai cin amana ne? Kana zato ni mai goyon bayan Yahuda ne? Tun farko na nuna aminci ga gidan babanka Shawulu, da’yan’uwansa, da abokansa! Ban kuwa ba da kai a hannun Dawuda ba. Ga shi yanzu a kan mace za ka ga laifina?
9 God do so to Abner, and more also, if, as the LORD has sworn to David, I do not do even so to him;
Allah yă yi wa Abner hukunci mai tsanani, in ban goyi bayan Dawuda ya sami abin da Ubangiji ya yi masa alkawari da rantsuwa ba.
10 to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba."
Zan kuma mayar wa Dawuda sarautar gidan Shawulu, in kafa kursiyin Dawuda a kan Isra’ila, da kan Yahuda tun daga Dan har zuwa Beyersheba.”
11 And Ishbaal could not answer Abner another word, because he feared him.
Ish-Boshet bai ƙara yin karambanin ce wa Abner kome ba, gama yana tsoronsa.
12 Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, "Whose is the land?" and saying, "Make an agreement with me, and look, my hand shall be with you, to bring all Israel around to you."
Sai Abner ya aiki manzanni a madadinsa wurin Dawuda su ce masa, “Ƙasar ta wane ne? Ka yi yarjejjeniya da ni, zan kuwa taimake ka, in juye dukan Isra’ila zuwa ɓangarenka.”
13 He said, "Good. I will make a covenant with you, but one thing I require of you. That is, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Mikal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see my face."
Dawuda ya ce, “Da kyau, zan yi yarjejjeniya da kai, amma fa ina bukata abu guda daga gare ka, kada ka zo gabana in ba tare da matata Mikal,’yar Shawulu ba.”
14 David sent messengers to Ishbaal, Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Mikal, whom I betrothed to myself for one hundred foreskins of the Philistines."
Sai Dawuda ya aiki manzanni zuwa wurin Ish-Boshet ɗan Shawulu cewa, “Ka ba ni matata Mikal wadda na biya sadakinta da loɓa ɗari na Filistiyawa.”
15 Ishbaal sent and took her from her husband Paltiel the son of Laish.
Sai Ish-Boshet ya ba da umarni, aka kuwa ɗauke ta daga gidan mijinta Faltiyel ɗan Layish.
16 But her husband went with her, weeping behind her, as far as Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, "Go back." So he went back.
Amma mijin ya raka ta, yana tafe yana kuka, ya bi ta har Bahurim. Sai Abner ya ce masa, “Koma gida!” Sai ya koma.
17 Abner advised the elders of Israel, saying, "For some time you have wanted David to be king over you.
Abner ya tattauna da dattawan Isra’ila ya ce, “An daɗe kuna nema ku naɗa Dawuda sarkinku.
18 Now then do it, for the LORD has spoken of David, saying, 'By the hand of my servant David, I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.'"
To, yanzu sai ku yi haka! Gama Ubangiji ya yi wa Dawuda alkawari ya ce, ‘Ta wurin bawana Dawuda zan ceci mutanena Isra’ila daga hannun Filistiyawa, da kuma hannun dukan abokan gābansu.’”
19 And Abner also spoke privately to the sons of Benjamin. And Abner also spoke privately to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to the whole house of Benjamin.
Abner kuma ya yi magana da mutane Benyamin da kansa. Sa’an nan ya tafi Hebron yă gaya wa Dawuda ko mene ne Isra’ila da kuma dukan gidan Benyamin suke so su yi.
20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. David made Abner and the men who were with him a feast.
Sa’ad da Abner wanda yake tare da mutane ashirin suka zo wurin Dawuda a Hebron, Dawuda ya shirya masa liyafa tare da mutanensa.
21 Abner said to David, "I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires." David sent Abner away; and he left in peace.
Sai Abner ya ce wa Dawuda, “Bari in tafi nan da nan in tattara dukan Isra’ila wa ranka yă daɗe, sarki, saboda su yi alkawari da kai, ka kuma ka yi mulki bisa dukansu yadda ranka yake so.” Saboda haka Dawuda ya sallami Abner, ya kuwa tafi lafiya.
22 Look, the servants of David and Joab were returning from a raid, and brought in a great spoil with them. But Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he left in peace.
Ba a jima ba sai mutanen Dawuda da Yowab suka dawo daga hari. Suka kawo ganima da yawa tare da su. Abner kuwa ya riga ya bar Dawuda a Hebron, domin Dawuda ya sallame shi, shi kuma ya tafi lafiya.
23 When Joab and all the army who was with him had come, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to David, and he has sent him away, and he left in peace."
Sa’ad da Yowab da dukan sojoji suka dawo, aka gaya masa cewa Abner ɗan Ner ya zo wurin sarki, sarki kuwa ya sallame shi, ya kuma tafi lafiya.
24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, "What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away? Now he has gone.
Sai Yowab ya je wurin sarki ya ce, “Me ke nan ka yi? Abner ya zo wurinka. Don me ka ƙyale shi yă tafi? Ga shi kuwa ya tafi!
25 Don't you know the evil ways of Abner the son of Ner? He came to deceive you and to observe your movements and to learn everything that you are doing."
Ka san Abner ɗan Ner ya zo ne yă ruɗe ka, yă ga fitarka da shigarka, yă kuma binciki kome da kake yi.”
26 When Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.
Yowab ya tashi daga gaban Dawuda ya tafi ya aika manzanni su bi Abner. Suka same shi a rijiyar Sira suka komo da shi, Dawuda kuwa bai sani ba.
27 When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the abdomen, so that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
To, da Abner ya komo Hebron, Yowab ya ratse da shi zuwa hanyar shigar gari kamar zai gana da shi a kaɗaice. Amma a can ya soki Abner a ciki, ya kashe shi don yă rama mutuwar ɗan’uwansa Asahel.
28 Afterward, when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD now and forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
Daga baya, Dawuda ya ji labarin sai ya ce, “Ni da masarautata har abada ba mu da laifi a gaban Ubangiji game da jinin Abner ɗan Ner.
29 May it whirl over the head of Joab, and on all his father's house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has an issue, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."
Alhakin jininsa yă kasance a kan Yowab da kuma a kan dukan iyalin mahaifinsa! Kada gidan Yowab yă rasa mai ɗiga, ko kuturu, ko mai jingina ga sanda, ko wanda aka kashe da takobi, ko kuma wanda ba shi da abinci.”
30 So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
(Yowab da ɗan’uwansa Abishai suka kashe Abner don yă kashe ɗan’uwansu Asahel a yaƙin Gibeyon.)
31 David said to Joab, and to all the people who were with him, "Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner." And King David followed the coffin.
Sa’an nan Dawuda ya ce wa Yowab da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi, “Ku yayyage rigunarku, ku sa tsummoki, ku yi tafiya kuna kuka a gaban Abner.” Sarki Dawuda kansa ya bi masu ɗauke da gawar daga baya.
32 They buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
Suka binne Abner a Hebron, sarki kuwa ya ɗaga murya ya yi kuka a kabarin Abner.
33 The king lamented for Abner, and said, "Should Abner die as a fool dies?
Sarki ya kuma yi wannan waƙar makoki domin Abner ya ce, “Daidai ne Abner yă mutu, kamar yadda marasa bin doka suke mutuwa?
34 Your hands were not bound in chains, your feet were not put into fetters. As a man falls before the ruthless, so you fell." All the people wept again over him.
Hannuwanka ba a daure suke ba, ƙafafunka ba a tabaibaye suke ba. Ka mutu kamar waɗanda suke mutuwa a hannun mugaye.” Sai dukan mutane suka sāke fashe da kuka saboda shi.
35 Then all the people came to persuade David to eat bread while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, "God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or anything else, until the sun goes down."
Sa’an nan duk suka zo suka roƙi Dawuda yă ci wani abu tun rana ba tă fāɗi ba; amma Dawuda ya rantse ya ce, “Bari Allah yă hukunta ni, in na ɗanɗana abinci ko wani abu kafin rana ta fāɗi!”
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them; just as everything the king did pleased the people.
Dukan mutane suka lura suka kuma ji daɗi ƙwarai, tabbatacce kome da sarki ya yi, ya gamshe su.
37 So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
Saboda haka a ranar dukan mutane da dukan Isra’ila suka gane sarki ba shi da hannu a kisan Abner ɗan Ner.
38 The king said to his servants, "Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
Sa’an nan sarki ya ce wa mutanensa, “Ba ku gane cewa ɗan sarki kuma babban mutum ya mutu a ƙasar Isra’ila a yau ba?
39 I am this day weak, though anointed king. And these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too brutal for me. May the LORD reward the evildoer according to his wickedness."
A yau, ko da yake ni naɗaɗɗen sarki ne, duk da haka na raunana, kuma waɗannan’ya’yan Zeruhiya sun fi ƙarfina. Ubangiji yă sāka wa mai aikata mugunta da muguntar da ya aikata!”
