2 Samuel 2
1 After this, David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?” The LORD said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” He said, “To Hebron.”
Bayan’yan kwanaki, sai Dawuda ya nemi nufin Ubangiji ya ce, “In haura zuwa ɗaya daga cikin biranen Yahuda?” Ubangiji ya ce, “Haura.” Dawuda ya ce, “Wanne zan tafi?” Ubangiji ya ce, “Je Hebron.”
2 So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Saboda haka sai Dawuda ya tafi can tare da matansa biyu, Ahinowam daga Yezireyel da Abigiyel gwauruwar Nabal mutumin Karmel.
3 David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron.
Dawuda kuma ya tafi tare da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi, kowa da iyalinsa, suka zauna a Hebron da garuruwansa.
4 The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.”
Sa’an nan mutanen Yahuda suka zo Hebron, a can kuwa suka naɗa Dawuda sarkin Yahuda. Sa’ad da aka gaya wa Dawuda cewa mutanen Yabesh Gileyad ne suka binne Shawulu,
5 David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by the LORD, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
sai ya aiki manzanni zuwa Yabesh Gileyad a ce musu, “Ubangiji yă albarkace ku saboda alherin da kuka nuna wa Shawulu ta wurin binne shi.
6 Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
Bari Ubangiji yă nuna muku ƙaunarsa da amincinsa, ni kuma zan nuna muku irin wannan alherin saboda kun yi haka.
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.”
Yanzu fa, sai ku ƙarfafa, ku yi jaruntaka, gama Shawulu sarkinku ya mutu, gidan Yahuda kuwa sun naɗa ni sarki a kansu.”
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim.
Ana cikin haka, Abner ɗan Ner, komandan sojojin Shawulu, ya ɗauki Ish-Boshet ɗan Shawulu ya kawo shi Mahanayim.
9 He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
Ya naɗa shi sarkin Gileyad, da na Ashuri, da na Yezireyel, da a kan Efraim, da Benyamin, da kuma na dukan Isra’ila.
10 Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
Ish-Boshet ɗan Shawulu yana da shekaru arba’in sa’ad da ya zama sarkin Isra’ila, ya kuma yi sarauta shekara biyu. Amma fa, gidan Yahuda, suka bi Dawuda.
11 The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Tsawon lokacin da Dawuda ya yi mulki a Hebron a kan gidan Yahuda, shekara bakwai ne da wata shida.
12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Abner ɗan Ner, tare da mutanen Ish-Boshet ɗan Shawulu, suka bar Mahanayim suka tafi Gibeyon.
13 Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool.
Yowab wanda ake ce mamarsa Zeruhiya tare da waɗansu mutanen Dawuda suka fito suka haɗu da su tafkin Gibeyon, Suka zauna, waɗannan a wannan gefe, waɗancan a wancan gefe.
14 Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and compete before us!” Joab said, “Let them arise!”
Sa’an nan Abner ya ce wa Yowab, “Bari mu bar waɗansu samari su tashi su yi faɗa hannu da hannu a gabanmu.” Yowab ya ce, “To, su tashi.”
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants.
Saboda haka samarin suka tashi aka ƙidaya su, mutum sha biyu wajen Benyamin da Ish-Boshet ɗan Shawulu, sha biyu kuma wajen Dawuda.
16 They each caught his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.
Sa’an nan kowannensu ya kama abokin gābansa a kā ya soki da wuƙa a jiki, sai duka suka fāɗi a ƙasa. Saboda haka ne ake kiran wannan wuri Helkat Hazzurim a Gibeyon.
17 The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.
Faɗan ya yi zafi a ranar ƙwarai, mutanen Dawuda suka ci mutanen Abner da na Isra’ila.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.
’Ya’yan Zeruhiya, maza uku sun kasance a can. Su ne, Yowab, Abishai da Asahel. To, Asahel mai gudu ne kamar barewa.
19 Asahel pursued Abner. He didn’t turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
Ya fafari Abner, bai juya dama ko hagu ba, yayinda yake fafararsa.
20 Then Abner looked behind him and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” He answered, “It is.”
Abner ya waiga, sai ya ce, “Kai ne, Asahel?” Ya ce, “Ni ne.”
21 Abner said to him, “Turn away to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn away from following him.
Sai Abner ya ce masa, “Yi dama ko hagu ka runtumi ɗaya daga cikin samarin, ka ƙwace makamansa.” Amma Asahel bai bar fafararsa ba.
22 Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”
Abner ya sāke gargaɗe shi ya ce, “Ka bar fafarata! Yaya zan kashe ka? Yaya zan yin ido biyu da ɗan’uwanka Yowab?”
23 However, he refused to turn away. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there and died in the same place. As many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
Amma Asahel ya ƙi yă bar fafararsa; saboda haka Abner ya soki Asahel da māshinsa a ciki; har māshin ya fita ta bayansa. Nan take ya fāɗi, ya mutu. Kowa da ya zo wurin da Asahel ya fāɗi, ya mutu, sai yă tsaya.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Amma Yowab da Abishai suka fafari Abner, kuma da rana tana fāɗuwa sai suka iso tudun Amma, kusa da Giya, a hanyar zuwa jejin Gibeyon.
25 The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
Sa’an nan mutanen Benyamin suka haɗa kansu suka koyi bayan Abner. Suka zama ƙungiya guda, suka tsaya daram a kan tudu.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, “Shall the sword devour forever? Don’t you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long will it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?”
Sai Abner ya kira Yowab ya ce, har abada ne māshi zai yi ta hallakarwa? Ba ka sani cewa ƙarshen zai zama da ɗaci ba. Sai yaushe za ka umarci mutanenka su daina fafaran’yan’uwansu?
27 Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.”
Yowab ya ce, “Muddin Allah yana a raye, da ba a ce ka yi magana ba, da mutanen za su ci gaba da fafaran’yan’uwansu har gari yă waye.”
28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still and pursued Israel no more, and they fought no more.
Sai Yowab ya busa ƙaho, dukan mutane kuwa suka tsaya; suka daina fafaran Isra’ila. Nan take faɗan ya tsaya.
29 Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.
Abner da mutanensa suka ratsa kwarin Urdun dukan dare. Sa’an nan suka haye kogin, suka kuwa ci gaba dukan safe har suka zo Mahanayim.
30 Joab returned from following Abner; and when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel were missing.
Da Yowab ya dawo daga fafaran Abner, sai ya tattara dukan mutanensa. Ban da Asahel, sai ya gane an rasa mutum goma sha tara na Dawuda.
31 But David’s servants had struck Benjamin Abner’s men so that three hundred sixty men died.
Amma mutanen Dawuda sun kashe mutum ɗari uku da sittin daga kabilar Benyamin da suke tare da Abner.
32 They took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
Suka ɗauki gawar Asahel suka binne a kabarin mahaifinsa a Betlehem. Sa’an nan Yowab da mutanensa suka bi dare har suka iso Hebron da safe.
