2 Samuel 21
1 During the time that David [ruled], there was a famine [in Israel] for three years. David prayed to Yahweh about it. And Yahweh said, “[In order for the famine to end], Saul’s family needs to be punished [MTY] because Saul killed many people from Gibeon [city].”
Lokacin da Dawuda yake mulki, an yi yunwa shekara uku a jere; saboda haka Dawuda ya nemi nufin Ubangiji. Ubangiji ya ce, “Saboda Shawulu ne da alhakin jinin gidansa; domin ya kashe Gibeyonawa.”
2 The people of Gibeon were not Israelis; they were a small group of the Amor people-group whom the Israelis had solemnly promised to protect. But Saul had tried to kill all of them because he (was very zealous/wanted very much) to enable the people of Judah and Israel [to be the only ones living in that land]. So the king summoned the leaders of Gibeon
Sai sarki ya tattara Gibeyonawa ya yi musu magana. (To, Gibeyonawa ba sashen Isra’ilawa ba ne, amma mutanen Amoriyawa ne da suka ragu, waɗanda Isra’ila ta rantse za tă bari da rai, amma Shawulu cikin kishinsa don Isra’ila da Yahuda ya yi ƙoƙari yă hallaka su duka.)
3 and said to them, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends/up for what was done to your people, in order that you will bless us who belong to Yahweh?”
Dawuda ya ce wa Gibeyonawa, “Me zan yi muku? Yaya zan yi kafara domin ku sa wa masu gādon Ubangiji albarka?”
4 They replied, “You cannot settle our quarrel with Saul and his family by giving us silver or gold. And we do not have the right to kill any Israelis.” So David asked, “Then/So what do you say that I should do for you?”
Gibeyonawa suka ce, “Ba mu da’yanci mu nemi zinariya ko azurfa daga wurin Shawulu ko gidansa, ba mu kuwa da wani’yanci mu sa a kashe wani a Isra’ila.” Dawuda ya ce, “To, me kuke so in yi muku?”
5 They replied, “Saul [wanted to] get rid of us. He wanted to annihilate/kill all of us, in order that none of us would live anywhere in Israel.
Suka ce wa sarki, “Mutumin da ya hallaka mu ya kuma yi mana makirci don kada mu kasance tare da Isra’ilawa ko’ina a cikin ƙauyukansu,
6 Hand over to us seven of Saul’s descendants. We will hang them where Yahweh is worshiped in Gibeon, our town, the town where Saul, whom Yahweh previously chose to be king, lived.” The king replied, “Okay, I will hand them over to you.”
a ba mu zuriyarsa maza bakwai, mu kashe su, mu kuma rataye jikunansu a gaban Ubangiji a Gibeya na Shawulu wannan zaɓaɓɓen Ubangiji.” Sai sarki ya ce, “Zan ba ku su.”
7 The king did not hand over to them Saul’s grandson Mephibosheth, because of what he and [Mephibosheth’s father] Jonathan had solemnly promised to each other.
Sarki ya ware Mefiboshet ɗan Yonatan jikan Shawulu, saboda rantsuwar da take tsakanin Dawuda da Yonatan, ɗan Shawulu a gaban Ubangiji.
8 Instead, he took Armoni and another man named Mephibosheth, the two sons that Saul’s slave wife Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth to, and the five sons that Saul’s daughter Merab had given birth to. Merab’s husband was Adriel, the son of a man named Barzillai from Meholah [town].
Amma sarki ya ɗauki Armoni da Mefiboshet,’ya’ya biyu maza waɗanda Rizfa’yar Aiya ta haifa wa Shawulu, tare da’ya’ya maza biyar na Merab’yar Shawulu, waɗanda ta haifa wa Adriyel ɗan Barzillai, mutumin Mehola.
9 David handed those men over to the men from Gibeon. Then they hanged those seven men on a hill where they worshiped Yahweh. They were all killed during the time of the year that the people started to harvest the barley.
Ya ba da su ga Gibeyonawa, waɗanda suka kashe su, suka kuma rataye jikunansu a gaban Ubangiji. Dukan bakwai ɗin an kashe su gaba ɗaya; an kashe su a farkon kwanankin girbi, daidai lokacin fara girbin sha’ir.
10 Then Rizpah took coarse cloth made from goats’ hair, and spread it on the rock [where the corpses lay]. She stayed there from the time that people started to harvest the barley until the rains started. She did not allow any birds to come near the corpses during the day, and she did not allow any animals to come near during the night.
Rizfa’yar Aiya ta ɗauki tsumma ta yi wa kanta shimfiɗa a kan dutse. Tun daga farkon girbi har ruwa damina ya sauko a kan gawawwakin, ba tă yarda tsuntsayen sama su taɓa su da rana ko mugayen namun jeji da dare ba.
11 When someone told David what Rizpah had done,
Da aka gaya wa Dawuda abin da Rizfa’yar Aiya ƙwarƙwaran Shawulu ta yi,
12 he went with some of his servants to Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. The people of Jabesh had stolen their bones from the (plaza/public square) in Beth-Shan [city], where the men from Philistia had hanged them previously, on the day that they had killed Saul and Jonathan on Gilboa [Mountain].
sai ya je ya kwashe ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan daga mutanen Yabesh Gileyad (Gama mutanen sun saci gawawwakin Shawulu da Yonatan daga inda Filistiyawa suka kakkafa su a kan itace a filin Bet-Shan, bayan da Filistiyawa suka kashe su a Gilbowa.)
13 David and his men took the bones of Saul and Jonathan, and they also took the bones of the seven men [from Gibeon] whom the men from Philistia had hanged.
Dawuda ya kawo ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan daga can, a kuma aka tattara dukan ƙasusuwan waɗanda Gibeyonawan suka kashe, suka kuma rataye.
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in Zela [town] in the land of [the tribe of] Benjamin. Doing all that the king commanded, they buried their bones in the tomb where Saul’s father Kish [was buried]. After that, [because] God [saw that Saul’s family had been punished to pay for Saul’s murder of many people from Gibeon, he] answered the Israelis’ prayers for their land, and caused the famine to end.
Suka binne ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan a kabarin Kish, mahaifin Shawulu, a Zela a Benyamin. Suka kuma yi kome da sarki ya umarta. Bayan wannan Allah ya ji addu’arsu a madadin ƙasar.
15 The army of Philistia again started to fight against the army of Israel. And David and his soldiers went to fight the Philistines. During the battle, David became weary.
Har yanzu yaƙi ya sāke ɓarke tsakanin Filistiyawa da Isra’ila. Sai Dawuda ya gangara tare da mutanensa don su yaƙi Filistiyawa, gajiya ta kama shi.
16 One of the Philistia men thought that he could kill David. His name was Ishbi-Benob. He was a descendant of [a group of] giants. He carried a bronze spear that weighed about (7-1/2 pounds/3-1/2 kg.), and he also had a new sword.
Ishbi-Benob kuwa, wani daga zuriyar Rafa, wanda nauyin kan māshinsa na tagulla ya yi shekel ɗari uku, wanda yake kuma da sabon māshi, ya ce zai kashe Dawuda.
17 But Abishai came to help David, and attacked the giant and killed him. Then David’s soldiers forced him to promise that he would not go with them into a battle again. They said to him, “[If you die, and none of your descendants become king, that would be like] [MET] extinguishing the last light in Israel.”
Amma Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ya kawo wa Dawuda gudummawa; ya bugi Bafilistin, ya kashe shi. Sa’an nan mutanen Dawuda suka rantse masa suka ce, “Ba za ka ƙara fita tare da mu wurin yaƙi ba, don kada fitilar Isra’ila tă mutu.”
18 Some time after that, there was a battle with the army of Philistia near Gob [village]. During the battle, Sibbecai, from [the] Hushah [clan], killed Saph, one of the descendants of the Rapha giants.
Ana nan, sai aka sāke yin wani yaƙin da Filistiyawa, a Gob. A lokacin Sibbekai mutumin Husha ya kashe Saf, wani daga zuriyar Rafa.
19 [Later] there was another battle with the army of Philistia at Gob. During that battle, Elhanan, the son of Jaare-Oregim from Bethlehem, killed [the brother of] Goliath from Gath [city]; Goliath’s spear shaft/handle was (very thick, like the bar on a weaver’s loom/over two inches thick).
Sai aka sāke yin wani yaƙin da Filistiyawa a Gob, Elhanan ɗan Ya’are-Oregim mutumin Betlehem ya kashe Goliyat mutumin Gat, wanda girmar sandan māshinsa ta yi kama da taɓarya.
20 Later there was another battle near Gath. There was a (huge man/giant) there who liked to fight [in battles]. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
Har wa yau a wani yaƙin da aka yi a Gat, akwai wani ƙaton mutum mai yatsotsi shida a kowane hannu, da kuma yatsotsi shida a kowane ƙafa, yatsotsi ashirin da huɗu ke nan. Shi ma daga zuriya Rafa ne.
21 But when he (made fun of/ridiculed) the men in the Israeli [army], Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimeah, killed him.
Da ya yi wa Isra’ila reni, sai Yonatan ɗan Shimeya, ɗan’uwa Dawuda, ya kashe shi.
22 Those four men were some of the descendants of the Rapha giants who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
Waɗannan huɗu zuriyar Rafa ne a Gat, suka kuwa mutu ta hannu Dawuda da mutanensa.
