1 Tarihi 19
1 Ana nan, sai Nahash sarkin Ammonawa ya mutu, sai ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
It came about later that Nahash, king of the people of Ammon, died, and that his son became king in his place.
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,
David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. David's servants entered the land of the Ammonites and went to Hanun, in order 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?”
But the Ammonite princes said to Hanun, “Do you think that David is honoring your father because he has sent men to comfort you? Do not his servants come to you to explore and examine the land in order to overthrow it?”
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 seized David's servants, shaved them, cut off their garments to the waist, up to their buttocks, 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.”
When they explained this to David, he sent to meet with them, for the men were deeply ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown back, 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.
When the Ammonites saw that they had become a stench to David, Hanun and the Ammonites sent a thousand talents of silver to hire Aramean chariots and horsemen from Naharaim, Maacah, and Zobah.
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.
They hired thirty-two thousand chariots and the king of Maacah and his army, who came and encamped before Medeba. Then the Ammonites gathered themselves together from their cities and came out to battle.
8 Da jin haka, Dawuda ya aiki Yowab tare da dukan mayaƙa masu yaƙi.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab and his entire army to meet them.
9 Ammonawa suka fito suka ja dāgā a ƙofar birninsu, yayinda sarakunan da suka zo, su kansu suka ware suna a fili.
The people of Ammon came out and lined up for battle at the city gate, while 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.
When Joab saw the battle lines facing him both in front and behind, he chose some of Israel's best fighters and arranged them against the Arameans.
11 Ya sa sauran mutanen a ƙarƙashin kulawar Abishai ɗan’uwansa, aka sa a kan Ammonawa.
As for the rest of the army, he gave it into the command of Abishai his brother, and he put them into battle lines against the army 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.
Joab said, “If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you, Abishai, must rescue me. But if the army of Ammon is too strong for you, then I will come and rescue 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 strong, and let us show ourselves to be strong for our people and for the cities of our God, for Yahweh will 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 soldiers of his army advanced to the battle against the Arameans, who were forced to flee before the army of Israel.
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.
When the army of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they also fled from Joab's brother Abishai and went back into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon and went back 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.
When the Arameans saw that they were being defeated by Israel, they sent for reinforcements from beyond the Euphrates River, with Shophak the commander of Hadadezer's army.
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.
When David was told this, he gathered all Israel together, crossed the Jordan, and came upon them. He arranged the army for battle against the Arameans, and they fought 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.
The Arameans fled from Israel, and David killed seven thousand Aramean charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers. He also killed Shophak, the commander of the army.
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.
When all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served them. So the people of Aram were no longer willing to help the Ammonites.
