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 Nahash king of the sons of Ammon died, —and Hanun 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,
Then said David—I will show lovingkindness unto Hanun, son of Nahash, —for his father shewed unto me lovingkindness. So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father, —and the servants of David came into the land of the sons of Ammon unto Hanun, to console 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?”
Then said the rulers of the sons of Ammon unto Hanun, Doth David honour thy father in thine eyes, that he hath sent to thee comforters? Is it not, for the sake of exploring and overthrowing, and spying out the land, that his servants have come to thee?
4 Saboda haka Hanun ya kama mutanen Dawuda, ya yi musu aski, ya yayyanka rigunansu a daidai ɗuwawunsu, sa’an nan ya sallame su.
So Hanun took the servants of David, and shaved them, and cut off their upper garments in the middle, as far as their parts of shame, —and let them go.
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 people went and told David, concerning the men, so he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed, —and the king said—Tarry at Jericho, until your beards be grown, and then 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, when the sons of Ammon saw, that they had made themselves odious with David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire for themselves—out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah, —chariots, and horsemen.
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.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah, and his people, who came and pitched before Medeba, —and the sons of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and entered into the war.
8 Da jin haka, Dawuda ya aiki Yowab tare da dukan mayaƙa masu yaƙi.
Now, when David heard, he sent Joab and all the army of heroes.
9 Ammonawa suka fito suka ja dāgā a ƙofar birninsu, yayinda sarakunan da suka zo, su kansu suka ware suna a fili.
And the sons of Ammon came out, and set in array for the battle, at the opening of the city, —whereas, the kings who had come, were by themselves, in the field.
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.
So, when Joab saw that the battle confronted him, before and behind, —he chose out of all the choice in Israel, and set in array to meet the Syrians;
11 Ya sa sauran mutanen a ƙarƙashin kulawar Abishai ɗan’uwansa, aka sa a kan Ammonawa.
and, the rest of the people, delivered he into the hand of Abishai his brother, —and they set in array, to meet the sons 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, too strong for me, be the Syrians, then shalt thou come to my help, —but, if, the sons of Ammon, be too strong for thee, then will I help thee.
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 strong, and let us put forth our strength, for the sake of our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, —and let, Yahweh, do, what is good in his own 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.
Then did Joab, and all the people who were with him, draw near before the Syrians unto the battle, —and they fled from before him.
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, when, the sons of Ammon, saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled, they also, from before Abishai his brother, and entered 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 when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated before Israel, then sent they messengers, and brought out the Syrians who were Beyond the River, —with Shophach captain of the army of Hadarezer, 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 together all Israel, and crossed the Jordan, and came unto them, and set in array against them, —and, when David had set in array against the Syrians for battle, they fought with 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 slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, —and, Shophach captain of the army, he put to death.
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, when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with David and served him, —neither would the Syrians help the sons of Ammon any more.
