2 Samuel 17
1 Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight.
Ahitofel ya ce wa Absalom, “Zan zaɓi mutum dubu goma sha biyu su fita a daren nan in fafari Dawuda.
2 I will come on him while he is weary and weak and will surprise him with fear. The people who are with him will flee, and I will attack only the king.
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 I will bring back all the people to you, like a bride coming to her husband, and all the people will be at peace under you.”
in dawo da dukan mutanen a gare ka. Mutuwar wanda kake nema zai zama dawowar duka; dukan mutanen ba za su cutu ba.”
4 What Ahithophel said pleased Absalom and all the elders of Israel.
Wannan shawara ta gamshi Absalom da dukan dattawan Isra’ila.
5 Then Absalom said, “Now call Hushai the Arkite, too, and let us hear what he says.”
Amma Absalom ya ce, “A kira mini Hushai mutumin Arkitawan nan shi ma, mu ji abin da zai ce.”
6 When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom explained to him what Ahithophel had said and then asked Hushai, “Should we do what Ahithophel has said? If not, tell us what you advise.”
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 So Hushai said to Absalom, “The advice that Ahithophel has 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 added, “You know your father and his men are strong warriors, and that they are bitter, and they are like a bear robbed of her cubs in a field. Your father is a man of war; he will not sleep with the army tonight.
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 Look, right now he is probably hidden in some pit or in some other place. It will happen that when some of your men have been killed at the beginning of an attack, that whoever hears it will say, 'A slaughter has taken place among the soldiers who 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 Then even the bravest soldiers, whose hearts are like the heart of a lion, will be afraid because all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that the men who are with him are very strong.
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 So I advise you that all Israel should be gathered together to you, from Dan to Beersheba, as numerous as the sands that are by the sea, and that you go to battle in 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 Then we will come on him wherever he may be found, and we will cover him as the dew falls on the ground. We will not leave even one of his men, or him himself, alive.
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 If he retreats into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city and we will drag it into the river, until there is no longer even a 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 Then Absalom and the men of Israel said, “Hushai the Arkite's advice is better than Ahithophel's.” Yahweh had ordained the rejection of Ahithophel's good advice in order to bring destruction on 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 Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel in such and such a way, but I have advised something else.
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 then, go quickly and report to David; say to him, 'Do not camp tonight at the fords of the Arabah, but by all means cross over, or the king will be swallowed up along with all the people who 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 were staying at the spring of Rogel. A female servant used to go and inform them what they needed to know, for they could not risk being seen going into the city. When the message came, then they were to go and tell King David.
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 young man saw them this time and told Absalom. So Jonathan and Ahimaaz went away quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, into which they descended.
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 The man's wife took the covering for the well and spread it over the well's opening, and tossed grain over it, so no one knew Jonathan and Ahimaaz were in the well.
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 Absalom's men came to the woman of the house and said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” The woman told them, “They have crossed over the river.” So after they had looked around 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 It came about after they had left that Jonathan and Ahimaaz came up out of the well. They went to report to King David; they said to him, “Get up and cross quickly over the water because Ahithophel has given such and such advice about 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 who were with him, and they crossed over the Jordan. By morning daylight not one of them had failed to cross over the 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 When Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and left. He went home to his own city, set his affairs in order, and hanged himself. In this way he died and was buried in the tomb 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. As for Absalom, he crossed over the 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 Absalom had set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of Jether the Ishmaelite, who had slept with Abigail, who was the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah, the mother of Joab.
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 Then Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
Isra’ilawa da Absalom suka kafa sansani a ƙasar Gileyad.
27 It came about when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Machir son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from 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 sleeping mats and blankets, bowls and pots, and wheat, barley flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils,
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 honey, butter, sheep, and milk curds, so that David and the people with him could eat. These men had said, “The people are hungry, 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.”
