2 Samuel 19
1 Someone told Joab that the king was crying and mourning because Absalom had died.
Aka faɗa wa Yowab cewa, “Sarki yana kuka, yana kuma makoki saboda Absalom.”
2 All of David’s soldiers became sad. Instead of rejoicing about defeating [the soldiers who had fought with Absalom], they were sad because they heard that the king was mourning because Absalom [was dead].
Saboda haka sai nasarar da aka yi a ranar ta zama makoki ga dukan sojoji, gama a ranar, rundunoni sun ji an ce, “Sarki yana baƙin ciki domin ɗansa.”
3 The soldiers returned to the city quietly, like [SIM] soldiers do when they are ashamed because they ran away from battle.
Mutane fa suka shiga birni shiru, sai ka ce waɗanda sukan sace jiki don kunya sa’ad da suka gudo daga yaƙi.
4 The king covered his face [with his hands] and kept crying loudly, “O, my son Absalom! O, Absalom, my son! My son!”
Sarki ya rufe fuskarsa ya yi kuka da ƙarfi yana cewa, “Ya ɗana Absalom! Ya Absalom ɗana, ɗana!”
5 Then Joab entered the room where the king was, and said to the king, “Today you have caused your soldiers to be ashamed! You have humiliated the men who saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and your ordinary wives and your slave wives!
Sai Yowab ya shiga gidan sarki ya ce, “Yau ka kunyatar da dukan mutanenka, waɗanda ba da daɗewa ba sun ceci ranka, da rayukan’ya’yanka maza, da na’ya’yanka mata, da na matanka da kuma na ƙwarƙwaranka.
6 [It seems that] you love those who hate you and [that] you hate those who love you. You have caused it to be clear today that your commanders and your officers are not at all important to you. I think that if Absalom were still alive and we were all dead today, you would be happy.
Kana ƙaunar maƙiyinka, kana ƙin waɗanda suke ƙaunarka. Ka bayyana a fili cewa komandodi da sojojinsu ba kome ba ne a gare ka. Na ga cewa da za ka yi farin ciki, da a ce Absalom yana da rai a yau, dukanmu kuma mun mutu.
7 So, now go and thank your soldiers [for what they did]. Because I solemnly declare that if you do not do that, none of them will still be with you by tomorrow morning and that would be worse [for you] than all the disasters/troubles that you have experienced since you were a boy.”
Yanzu ka fita ka ƙarfafa mutanenka. Na rantse da Ubangiji, in ba ka fita ba, babu mutum guda da za a bari tare da kai a daren nan. Wannan zai fi maka muni fiye da kowace irin masifar da ta auko maka tun ƙuruciyarka har zuwa yanzu.”
8 So the king got up and went and sat near the city gate. And all the people were told, “Hey, the king is sitting at the gate!” So they all came and gathered around him. Meanwhile, all the Israeli troops [who had been with Absalom] had returned to their homes.
Saboda haka sarki ya tashi, ya zauna a bakin hanyar shiga. Da aka faɗa wa mutane cewa, “Sarki yana zaune a bakin hanyar shiga,” sai duk suka zo gabansa. Ana cikin haka, Isra’ilawa dai sun riga sun tsere zuwa gidajensu.
9 Then all the people throughout the tribes of Israel started to quarrel among themselves. They said to each other, “King David rescued us from the people of Philistia and from our other enemies. But now he has fled from Absalom and left Israel!
Mutane ko’ina a kabilan Isra’ila, suka yi ta gardama da juna, suna cewa, “Sarki ne ya cece mu daga hannun abokan gābanmu, shi ne kuma ya kuɓutar da mu daga hannun Filistiyawa. Amma ga shi ya tsere daga ƙasar saboda Absalom;
10 We appointed [MTY] Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle [against David’s soldiers]. So (why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.)” [RHQ]
kuma shi Absalom, da muka naɗa yă yi mulkinmu, ya mutu a yaƙi. Saboda haka don me ba kwa ce wani abu game da dawo da sarki?”
11 King David [found out what the people were saying. So he] sent the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, to say to the leaders of Judah, “The king says that he has heard that all the Israeli people [want him to be king again]. And he says, ‘(Why should you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace?/It is not right that you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace.) [RHQ]
Sai Sarki Dawuda ya aika da saƙo zuwa wurin Zadok da Abiyatar, firistoci, ya ce, “Ku tambayi dattawan Yahuda, ‘Me ya sa ku ne za ku zama na ƙarshe a yin tunanin komar da sarki zuwa fada, da yake abin da ake faɗi ko’ina a Isra’ila ya kai kunnen sarki a mazauninsa?
12 You are my relatives; we have the same ancestor [IDM]. So (why should you be the last ones to bring me back?/you should certainly not be the last ones to bring me back.) [RHQ]’”
Ku’yan’uwana ne, jikina, jinina kuma. To, don me za ku zama na ƙarshe na yarda a dawo da sarki zuwa fada?’
13 And say to Amasa, “You are one of my relatives. I hope/desire that God strike me dead [IDM] if I do not appoint you to be, from now on, the commander of my army instead of Joab.”
Ku kuma ce wa Amasa, ‘Ashe, kai ba jikina ba ne da jinina? Allah yă hukunta ni, da hukunci mai tsanani, idan daga yanzu ba ka zama komandan sojojina a maimakon Yowab ba.’”
14 [By sending that message to them, ] David convinced all the people of Judah [IDM] [that they should (be loyal to him/accept him as their king]). So they sent a message to the king, saying “We want you and all your officials to return here.”
Ta haka ya rinjayi zukatan dukan mutane Yahuda, kamar mutum ɗaya. Suka aika da saƙo wurin sarki suka ce, “Ka dawo, kai da dukan mutanenka.”
15 So the king [and his officials started back toward Jerusalem]. When they reached the Jordan [River], the people of Judah came there to Gilgal to meet the king, and to bring him across the river.
Sa’an nan sarki ya dawo, ya kuma tafi har zuwa Urdun. To, mutanen Yahuda suka zo Gilgal don su fita su taryi sarki, su kuma kawo shi ƙetaren Urdun.
16 Shimei, the man from the tribe of Benjamin, also came down quickly [to the river] with the people of Judah to meet King David.
Shimeyi ɗan Gera, mutumin Benyamin daga Bahurim ya gaggauta, ya gangara tare da mutanen Yahuda don su taryi Sarki Dawuda.
17 There were 1,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who came with him. And Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, also hurried down to the Jordan [River], bringing 20 of his servants with him. They all came to the king,
Tare da shi akwai kabilar Benyamin mutum dubu, tare da Ziba, mai hidimar gidan Shawulu, da’ya’yansa maza goma sha biyar, da bayi ashirin. Suka ruga zuwa Urdun, inda sarki yake.
18 and then they all [prepared to] take the king and all his family across the river, at the place where they could walk across it. They wanted to do whatever the king wanted them to do. As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei came to him and prostrated himself in front of the king.
Suka haye a mashigin don su ƙetaro da iyalin sarki, su kuma yi duk abin da yake so. Sa’ad da Shimeyi ɗan Gera ya haye Urdun, sai ya fāɗi rubda ciki a gaban sarki
19 He said to the king, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please do not keep thinking about the terrible thing that I did on the day that you left Jerusalem. Do not think about it any more.
ya ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, ina roƙonka kada ka riƙe laifina a zuciya. Kada ka tuna da laifin da na yi maka ranka yă daɗe, ranan nan da kake gudu daga Urushalima. Kada ka tuna da shi ko kaɗan.
20 Because I know that I have sinned. Look, I have come today, the first one from the northern tribes to come here to greet you today, Your Majesty.”
Na sani ni bawanka na yi maka laifi. Shi ya sa na zama na farko daga dukan Gidan Yusuf, da mutanen Isra’ila wanda ya fito don yă tarye ka yau, ranka yă daɗe, sarki.”
21 But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, “He cursed the one that Yahweh appointed [MTY] to be the king! So (should he not be executed for doing that?/he certainly should be executed for doing that.)” [RHQ]
Sai Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ya ce, “Bai kamata a kashe Shimeyi saboda wannan ba? Ya la’anci shafaffe na Ubangiji.”
22 But David said, “You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide [what to do to him]). [It is as though] you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, [so I say that] certainly no one [RHQ] in Israel should be executed today.”
Dawuda ya ce, “Me ya haɗa ni da ku, ku’ya’yan Zeruhiya? Yau ɗin nan kun zama maƙiyana! Ya kamata a kashe wani a Isra’ila a yau? Ban san cewa yau ni sarki ne a bisa Isra’ila ba?”
23 Then the king said to Shimei, “I solemnly promise that I will not execute you.”
Saboda haka sarki ya ce wa Shimeyi, “Ba za ka mutu ba.” Sarki kuwa ya yi alkawari har da rantsuwa.
24 Then Miphibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down [to the river] to greet the king. He had not washed his feet or trimmed his beard or washed his clothes, from the time that the king left Jerusalem until the day that he returned.
Mefiboshet, jikan Shawulu, shi ma ya gangara don yă taryi sarki. Tun daga ranar da sarki ya gudu har ran da ya komo lafiya, Mefiboshet bai lura da ƙafafunsa, ko yă aske gemunsa, ko yă wanke tufafinsa ba.
25 When he arrived from Jerusalem to greet the king, the king said to him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
Sa’ad da ya zo daga Urushalima don yă taryi sarki, sai sarki ya ce masa, “Me ya sa ba ka tafi tare da ni ba Mefiboshet?”
26 He replied, “Your Majesty, [you know that] I am crippled. [When I heard that you were leaving Jerusalem, ] I said to my servant [Ziba], ‘Put a saddle on my donkey in order that I can ride on it and go with the king.’ But he deceived me [and left without me].
Sai ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe sarki, da yake bawanka gurgu ne, na ce, ‘A sa mini sirdi a kan jakina don in hau in tafi tare da sarki.’ Amma Ziba bawana ya bashe ni.
27 And he lied to you about me. But, Your Majesty, you are [as wise] as God’s angel. So do whatever seems right to you.
Ya kuwa ɓata suna bawanka a gaban ranka yă daɗe, sarki. Ranka yă daɗe, sarki yana kama da mala’ikan Allah, ka yi abin da ka ga ya fi maka kyau.
28 All of my grandfather’s family expected/deserved that we would be executed. But [you did not execute me; ] you allowed me to eat food with you at your table! So I certainly do not have [RHQ] the right to request you for anything more.”
Duk zuriyar kakana ba su cancanci kome ba sai mutuwa daga ranka yă daɗe, amma ka ba wa bawanka wuri cikin mutanen da suke ci a teburinka. Saboda haka, wanda’yanci nake da shi da zan yi wani ƙarin roƙo a wurin sarki?”
29 The king replied, “You certainly do not need to say any more. I have decided that you and Ziba will divide [equally] the land [that belonged to your grandfather Saul].”
Sarki ya ce masa, “Me ya sa kake zancen nan? Ai, na riga na umarta, da kai, da Ziba ku raba filayen.”
30 Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Your Majesty, [I am content that] you have returned safely. So allow him to take all the land.”
Mefiboshet ya ce wa sarki, “Bari yă ɗauki kome, yanzu da ranka yă daɗe, sarki ya dawo gida lafiya.”
31 Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], had come down to the Jordan [River] from [his town of] Rogelim, to escort the king across the river.
Barzillai mutumin Gileyad shi ma ya zo daga Rogelim don yă ƙetare Urdun tare da sarki, yă kuma sallame shi daga can.
32 Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He was a very wealthy man, and he had provided food for the king [and his soldiers] while they were at Mahanaim.
To, Barzillai fa tsoho ne, mai shekara tamanin. Ya tanada wa sarki a lokaci da yake Mahanayim, gama shi attajiri ne.
33 The king said to Barzillai, “Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
Sarki ya ce wa Barzillai, “Ka ƙetaro tare da ni ka zauna tare da ni a Urushalima, zan kuwa tanada maka.”
34 But Barzillai replied, “I certainly do not have [RHQ] many more years to live. So (why should I go with you to Jerusalem?/there is certainly no reason for me to go with you to Jerusalem.) [RHQ]
Amma Barzillai ya ce wa sarki, “Shekara nawa ya rage mini har da zan tafi Urushalima da sarki?
35 I am now 80 years old. I do not [RHQ] know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot [RHQ] enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot [RHQ] hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So (why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.) [RHQ]
Yanzu ina da shekara tamanin. Zan iya bambanta abu mai daɗi da marar daɗi kuma ne? Bawanka zai iya jin ɗanɗano abin da yake ci, ko yake sha ne? Har yanzu zan iya jin muryoyin mawaƙan maza da mata? Don me bawanka zai zama ƙari kaya ga ranka yă daɗe?
36 I will cross the Jordan [River] with you and go a little further, and that will be all the reward that I need [for helping you].
Bawanka zai ƙetare Urdun tare da sarki, yă ɗan yi maka rakiya kaɗan. Me ya sa ranka yă daɗe zai ba ni irin wannan lada.
37 Then please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is [my son] Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you [and serve you], and do for him whatever seems good to you!”
Ka bar bawanka yă koma, don in mutu a garina, kusa da kabarin mahaifina da mahaifiyata. Amma ga bawanka Kimham. Bari yă ƙetare tare da ranka yă daɗe, sarki. Ka yi abin da ka ga dama da shi.”
38 The king replied, “Okay, he will cross [the river] with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. And I will do for you whatever you want me to do.”
Sarki ya ce, “Kimham zai ƙetare tare da ni, zan kuwa yi masa abin da ya gamshe ka. Kuma duk abin da kake bukata a wurina, zan yi maka.”
39 Then King David and all the others crossed the Jordan [River]. He kissed Barzillai and [asked God to] bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.
Saboda haka dukan mutane suka ƙetare Urdun, sa’an nan kuma sarki ma ya ƙetare. Sarki ya yi wa Barzillai sumba ya albarkace shi, sa’an nan Barzillai ya koma gidansa.
40 [After they crossed the river, ] Chimham went with the king, and all the army of Judah and half the army of the other Israeli tribes escorted/accompanied the king to Gilgal.
Sa’ad da sarki ya ƙetare zuwa Gilgal, Kimham ma ya ƙetare tare da shi. Dukan sojojin Yahuda da rabin sojojin Isra’ila suka ƙetare da sarki.
41 Then all the soldiers from the other Israeli tribes came to the king and said, “(Why is it that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men?/It is not right that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men.) [RHQ] [Why did you not request us to do that]?” [RHQ]
Nan take sai ga mutane Isra’ila suna zuwa wurin sarki, suna cewa, “Don me’yan’uwanmu, mutanen Yahuda, suka saci sarki, suka kawo shi da iyalinsa a ƙetaren Urdun, tare da dukan mutanensa?”
42 The soldiers from Judah replied, “We did it because the king is from Judah. So (why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that.) [RHQ] The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.”
Dukan mutanen Yahuda suka ce wa mutanen Isra’ila, “Mun yi haka domin sarki danginmu na kurkusa ne. Don me kuke fushi game da wannan? Mun ci wani abu daga cikin kayan sarki ne? Mun ɗauki wani abu wa kanmu ne?”
43 The men of the other Israeli tribes replied, “[There are ten tribes in Israel, and only one in Judah. So] it is ten times more right for us to say that David [is our king] than it is for you to say that. So why are you despising us [RHQ]? We were certainly [RHQ] the first ones to talk about bringing David back [to Jerusalem to be our king again].” But the men of Judah spoke more harshly than the men from the other tribes of Israel did.
Sa’an nan mutanen Isra’ila suka ce wa mutanen Yahuda, “Muna da rabo goma a wurin sarki; ban da haka ma, muna da hakki mafi yawa a wurin Dawuda fiye da ku. Don me kuke mana reni? Ba mu ne ma muka fara magana dawowa da sarki ba?” Amma mutanen Yahuda suka ɗauka maganar da zafi fiye da mutanen Isra’ila.
