2 Samuel 17
1 Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
Ahitofel ya ce wa Absalom, “Zan zaɓi mutum dubu goma sha biyu su fita a daren nan in fafari Dawuda.
2 and I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
Zan fāɗa masa sa’ad da yake cikin gajiya da karayar zuciya. Zan firgita shi, mutanen da suke tare da shi kuwa za su gudu. Sarki ne kaɗai zan kashe
3 and I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: [so] all the people shall be in peace.
in dawo da dukan mutanen a gare ka. Mutuwar wanda kake nema zai zama dawowar duka; dukan mutanen ba za su cutu ba.”
4 And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
Wannan shawara ta gamshi Absalom da dukan dattawan Isra’ila.
5 Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
Amma Absalom ya ce, “A kira mini Hushai mutumin Arkitawan nan shi ma, mu ji abin da zai ce.”
6 And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do [after] his saying? if not, speak thou.
Da Hushai ya zo wurinsa, sai Absalom ya ce, “Ahitofel ya ba da wannan shawara. Mu yi abin da ya ce? In ba haka ba, sai ka ba mu ra’ayinka.”
7 And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given this time is not good.
Hushai ya ce wa Absalom, “Shawarar da Ahitofel ya bayar a wannan lokaci kam, ba ta da kyau.
8 Hushai said moreover, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
Ka san mahaifinka da mutanensa mayaƙa ne, suna cikin fushi kamar mugun beyar da aka ƙwace mata’ya’ya. Ban da haka ma, mahaifinka gogagge ne a yaƙi; ba zai kwana da rundunar ba.
9 Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some [other] place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be fallen at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
Kai, ko yanzu ma, ya riga ya ɓuya cikin kogo ko kuma a wani wuri. In har ya fara kai wa rundunarka hari duk wanda ya ji, zai ce, ‘An yi kaca-kaca da rundunar da suka bi Absalom.’
10 And even he that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.
Kai, ko jarumi mai zuciya kamar na zaki ma, zai narke don tsoro, gama dukan Isra’ila sun sani mahaifinka mayaƙi ne, sun kuma san cewa waɗanda suke tare da shi jarumawa ne.
11 But I counsel that all Israel be gathered together unto thee, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
“Saboda haka ina ba ka shawara, bari a tara maka dukan Isra’ila, daga Dan zuwa Beyersheba da yawansu ya yi kamar yashin bakin teku, kai kanka ka jagorance su zuwa fagen fama.
12 So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him we will not leave so much as one.
Sa’an nan za mu fāɗa masa duk inda yake, za mu fāɗa masa kamar yadda raɓa takan fāɗo a bisa ƙasa. Da shi da mutanensa babu ko ɗaya da za a bari da rai.
13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
In ma ya janye zuwa cikin birni, sai dukan Isra’ila su kawo igiyoyi wa wannan birni, su ja shi zuwa kwari yă wargaje, yadda ba za a bar wani dutse a kan wani ba.”
14 And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had ordained to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
Absalom da dukan mutanen Isra’ila suka ce, “Shawarar Hushai mutumin Arkitawa ta fi ta Ahitofel kyau.” Gama Ubangiji ya ƙudura yă wofinta kyakkyawar shawarar Ahitofel, don yă jawo wa Absalom masifa.
15 Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests. Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
Hushai ya ce wa Zadok da Abiyatar, firistoci, “Ahitofel ya ba wa Absalom da dattawan Isra’ila shawara su yi kaza da kaza, amma na ba su shawara su yi haka, su yi haka.
16 Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night at the fords of the wilderness, but in any wise pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
Yanzu sai ku aika wa Dawuda saƙo nan da nan ku ce masa, ‘Kada ka kwana a mashigai cikin hamada; ka tabbata ka haye ba faci, in ba haka ba sarki da dukan mutanensa za su hallaka.’”
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by En-rogel; and a maidservant used to go and tell them; and they went and told king David: for they might not be seen to come into the city.
Yonatan da Ahimawaz suna zaune a En Rogel. Wata baranya ce za tă je ta faɗa musu, su kuma su tafi su gaya wa Sarki Dawuda don suna tsoro kada a ga suna shiga birnin.
18 But a lad saw them, and told Absalom: and they went both of them away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down thither.
Amma wani saurayi ya gan su, ya gaya wa Absalom. Sai dukansu biyu suka tashi da sauri suka shiga gidan wani mutum a Bahurim. Yana da rijiya a cikin gida, sai suka shiga cikinta.
19 And the woman took and spread the covering over the well’s mouth, and strewed bruised corn thereon; and nothing was known.
Matarsa mutumin kuwa ta kawo tabarma ta shimfiɗa a bakin rijiyar, sai ta kawo hatsi ta baza a kanta. Ba kuwa wanda ya san abin da ta yi.
20 And Absalom’s servants came to the woman to the house; and they said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
Da mutanen Absalom suka zo wurin matan a gidan, suka ce, “Ina Yonatan da Ahimawaz?” Matar ta ce, “Tuni, sun haye rafi.” Sai mutanen suka yi ta nemansu amma ba su ga kowa, sai suka koma Urushalima.
21 And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David; and they said unto David, Arise ye, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.
Bayan mutanen suka tafi, sai su biyun suka fito daga rijiyar suka je suka gaya wa Sarki Dawuda. Suka ce masa, “Maza ka ƙetare kogi; Ahitofel ya ba wa Absalom shawara a yi maka kaza da kaza.”
22 Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
Saboda haka Dawuda da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi suka tashi suka ƙetare Urdun. Kafin wayewar gari, babu wanda ya rage da bai haye ba.
23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home, unto his city, and set his house in order, and hanged himself; and he died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
Da Ahitofel ya ga ba a bi shawararsa ba, sai ya hau jakinsa ya koma gidansa a garinsu. Ya kintsa gidansa sa’an nan ya rataye kansa. Ta haka ya mutu, aka kuma binne shi a kabarin mahaifinsa.
24 Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
Dawuda kuwa ya tafi Mahanayim. Absalom kuma ya ƙetare Urdun tare da dukan mutanen Isra’ila.
25 And Absalom set Amasa over the host instead of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man, whose name was Ithra the Israelite, that went in to Abigal the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab’s mother.
Absalom ya riga ya naɗa Amasa a kan sojoji a maimakon Yowab. Amasa kuwa ɗan wani mutum mai suna Itra ne, mutumin Ishmayel wanda ya auri Abigiyel,’yar Nahash,’yar’uwar Zeruhiya mahaifiyar Yowab.
26 And Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
Isra’ilawa da Absalom suka kafa sansani a ƙasar Gileyad.
27 And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
Sa’ad da Dawuda ya zo Mahanayim, sai Shobi ɗan Nahash daga Rabba ta Ammonawa, da Makir ɗan Ammiyel daga Lo Debar, da Barzillai mutumin Gileyad daga Rogelim
28 brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched [corn], and beans, and lentils, and parched [pulse],
suka kawo wa Dawuda da mutanensa tabarmai, da kwanoni, da kayayyakin da aka yi da yumɓu. Suka kuma kawo alkama da sha’ir, da gari, da soyayyen hatsi, da wake, da waken barewa,
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
da zuma, da kindirmo, da tumaki, da cukun madarar shanu wa Dawuda da mutanensa su ci. Gama sun ce, “Mutanen suna jin yunwa, sun kuma gaji, ga ƙishirwa a hamada.”
