1 Tarihi 19
1 Ana nan, sai Nahash sarkin Ammonawa ya mutu, sai ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
And it came to pass after this, [that] Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and Anan his son reigned in his stead.
2 Dawuda ya yi tunani, “Zan nuna jinƙai ga Hanun ɗan Nahash, domin mahaifinsa ya nuna alheri gare ni.” Saboda haka Dawuda ya aika da tawaga don yă yi wa Hanun ta’aziyya game da mahaifinsa. Sa’ad da mutanen Dawuda suka iso wurin Hanun a ƙasar Ammonawa don su ta’azantar da shi,
And David said, I will act kindly toward Anan the son of Naas, as his father acted kindly towards me. And David sent messengers to condole with him on the death of his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Anan, to comfort him.
3 sai manyan Ammonawa suka ce wa Hanun, “Kana tsammani Dawuda yana girmama mahaifinka ne da ya aika mutanen nan wurinka su ta’azantar da kai? Ba mutanensa sun zo ne su bincika su kuma leƙi ƙasar su tumɓuke ta ba?”
And the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Anan, Is it to honor your father before you, that David has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you that they might search the city, and to spy out the land?
4 Saboda haka Hanun ya kama mutanen Dawuda, ya yi musu aski, ya yayyanka rigunansu a daidai ɗuwawunsu, sa’an nan ya sallame su.
And Anan took the servants of David, and shaved them, and cut off the half of their garments as far as their tunic, and sent them away.
5 Da wani ya zo ya faɗa wa Dawuda game da mutanen, sai ya aiki’yan aika su sadu da su, gama an ƙasƙantar da su ainun. Sarki ya ce, “Ku zauna a Yeriko har sai gemunku sun yi girma, sa’an nan ku dawo.”
And there came men to report to David concerning the men: and he sent to meet them, for they were greatly disgraced: and the king said, Dwell in Jericho until your beards have grown, and return.
6 Sa’ad da Ammonawa suka gane cewa sun zama abin wurin a kafan hancin Dawuda, Hanun da Ammonawa suka aika da talenti dubu na azurfa don su yi haya da kekunan yaƙi da mahayan kekunan yaƙi daga Aram-Naharayim, Aram Ma’aka da Zoba.
And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed, and Anan and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen out of Syria of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and from Sobal.
7 Suka yi hayar kekunan yaƙi da mahayan kekunan yaƙi dubu talatin da biyu, da kuma sarkin Ma’aka tare da mayaƙansa, waɗanda suka zo suka kafa sansani kusa da Medeba, yayinda Ammonawa suka tattaru daga garuruwansu suka fita yaƙi.
And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha and his people; and they came and encamped before Medaba: and the children of Ammon assembled out of their cities, and came to fight.
8 Da jin haka, Dawuda ya aiki Yowab tare da dukan mayaƙa masu yaƙi.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all the host of mighty men.
9 Ammonawa suka fito suka ja dāgā a ƙofar birninsu, yayinda sarakunan da suka zo, su kansu suka ware suna a fili.
And the children of Ammon came forth, and set themselves in array for battle by the gate of the city: and the kings that were come forth encamped by themselves in the plain.
10 Yowab ya ga cewa akwai dāgā a gabansa da bayansa; sai ya zaɓi waɗansu mayaƙa mafi kyau a Isra’ila ya sa su a kan Arameyawa.
And Joab saw that they were fronting [him] to fight against him before and behind, and he chose [some] out of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against the Syrian.
11 Ya sa sauran mutanen a ƙarƙashin kulawar Abishai ɗan’uwansa, aka sa a kan Ammonawa.
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of his brother Abesai, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 Yowab ya ce, “In Arameyawa suka fi ni ƙarfi, sai ka kawo mini ɗauke da ni; amma in Ammonawa sun fi ka ƙarfi, sai in kawo maka ɗauke.
And he said, If the Syrian should prevail against me, then shall you deliver me: and if the children of Ammon should prevail against you, then will I deliver you.
13 Ka yi ƙarfin hali bari mu yi yaƙi da jaruntaka saboda mutanenmu da biranen Allahnmu. Ubangiji zai yi abin da ya ga ya yi masa kyau.”
Be of good courage, and let us be strong, for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord shall do what [is] good in his eyes.
14 Sai Yowab da ƙungiyoyin mayaƙan da suke tare da shi suka matso don su yi yaƙi da Arameyawa, Arameyawan kuwa suka gudu a gabansa.
So Joab and the people that were with him set themselves in battle array against the Syrians, and they fled from them.
15 Sa’ad da Ammonawa suka ga Arameyawa suna gudu, sai su ma suka guda a gaban ɗan’uwansa Abishai suka shiga cikin birni. Sai Yowab ya koma Urushalima.
And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, and they also fled from before Abesai, and from before Joab his brother, and they came to the city: and Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 Bayan Arameyawa suka ga cewa Isra’ila sun ci su da yaƙi, sai suka aiki’yan aika suka sa aka kawo Arameyawan da suke hayen Kogi waɗanda Shobak shugaban mayaƙan Hadadezer yake shugabanta.
And the Syrian saw that Israel had defeated him, and he sent messengers, and they brought out the Syrians from beyond the river; and Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces of Adraazar [was] before them.
17 Sa’ad da aka faɗa wa Dawuda wannan, sai tattara dukan Isra’ila ya haye Urdun; ya tafi wurinsu ya kuwa ja dāgā ɗaura da su. Dawuda ya ja dāgārsa don yă sadu da Arameyawa a yaƙi, su kuwa suka yi yaƙi da shi.
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and crossed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So David set [his army] in array to fight against the Syrians, and they fought against him.
18 Amma Arameyawa suka gudu a gaban Isra’ila, mutanen Dawuda kuwa suka kashe masu hawan keken yaƙinsu dubu bakwai da sojojin ƙasa dubu arba’in. Ya kuma kashe Shobak shugaban mayaƙansu.
And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians seven thousand [riders in] chariots, and forty thousand infantry, and he killed Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces.
19 Da abokan tarayyar Hadadezer suka ga Isra’ila sun ci su da yaƙi, sai suka nemi salama da Dawuda suka kuma zama bayinsa. Saboda haka Arameyawa ba su ƙara yarda su taimaki Ammonawa ba.
And the servants of Adraazar saw that they were defeated before Israel, and they made peace with David and served him: and the Syrians would not any more help the children of Ammon.
