< 1 Sarakuna 2 >
1 Da lokacin mutuwar Dawuda ya yi kusa, sai ya gargaɗe Solomon ɗansa, ya ce,
Now the days of David drew near that he should die. And he charged Solomon his son, saying,
2 “Ina gab da bin hanyar da kowa a duniya zai bi. Saboda haka ka yi ƙarfin hali, ka nuna kanka namiji,
I am going the way of all the earth. Be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man,
3 ka kiyaye abin da Ubangiji Allahnka yake bukata. Yi tafiya a hanyoyinsa, ka kiyaye ƙa’idodi, da umarnai, da dokoki, da kuma farillansa, kamar yadda suke a rubuce a Dokar Musa, don ka yi nasara a cikin kome da za ka yi, da kuma inda za ka tafi.
and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou may prosper in all that thou do, and wherever thou turn thyself.
4 Ubangiji kuwa zai kiyaye alkawarinsa gare ni da ya ce, ‘In zuriyarka suka lura da yadda suke rayuwa, in kuma suka yi tafiya da aminci a gabana da dukan zuciyarsu, da kuma dukan ransu, ba za ka kāsa samun mutum a kujerar sarautar Isra’ila ba.’
That Jehovah may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee a man on the throne of Israel.
5 “Yanzu fa, kai kanka ka san abin da Yowab ɗan Zeruhiya ya yi mini. Abin da ya yi wa shugabanni biyun nan na mayaƙan Isra’ila, wato, Abner ɗan Ner, da Amasa ɗan Yeter. Ya kashe su, ya kuma zub da jininsu a lokacin salama sai ka ce a fage yaƙi, da wannan jini ya yi ɗamara a gindinsa, ya kuma sa takalma a ƙafafunsa.
Moreover thou also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his belt that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
6 Ka yi da shi gwargwadon hikimarka, amma kada ka bari yă gangara kabari da furfura cikin salama. (Sheol )
Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and do not let his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol )
7 “Amma ka yi alheri ga’ya’yan Barzillai mutumin Gileyad, ka sa su kasance a cikin waɗanda suke ci a teburinka. Sun goyi bayana sa’ad da nake gudu daga ɗan’uwanka Absalom.
But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those who eat at thy table, for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.
8 “Ka tuna, akwai kuma Shimeyi ɗan Gera, mutumin Benyamin daga Bahurim, wanda ya yi ta yin mini muguwar la’ana a ranar da na tafi Mahanayim. Sa’ad da ya gangara ya same ni a Urdun, na rantse masa da sunan Ubangiji na ce, ‘Ba zan kashe ka da takobi ba.’
And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim. But he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
9 Amma yanzu, kada ka ɗauke shi marar laifi. Kai mutum ne mai hikima; za ka san abin da za ka yi da shi. Ka kawo furfuransa zuwa kabari da jini.” (Sheol )
Now therefore do not hold him guiltless, for thou are a wise man, and thou will know what thou ought to do to him, and thou shall bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood. (Sheol )
10 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya huta tare da kakanninsa. Sai aka binne shi a Birnin Dawuda.
And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
11 Ya yi sarauta shekaru arba’in a bisa Isra’ila. Wato, shekaru bakwai a Hebron da kuma talatin da uku a Urushalima.
And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Solomon kuwa ya zauna a kan kujerar sarautar mahaifinsa Dawuda, mulkinsa kuwa ya kahu sosai.
And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was established greatly.
13 To, sai Adoniya, ɗan Haggit ya tafi wurin Batsheba mahaifiyar Solomon. Ita kuwa ta tambaye shi ta ce, “Lafiya?” Ya amsa ya ce, “I, lafiya.”
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Do thou come peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
14 Sa’an nan ya ƙara da cewa, “Ina da ɗan wani abin da zan faɗa miki.” Ta ce, “Faɗa.”
He said moreover, I have something to say to thee. And she said, Say on.
15 Sai ya ce, “Kamar yadda kika sani, mulkin nan nawa ne. Dukan Isra’ila suna ɗaukana a matsayin sarki. Amma abubuwa suka canja, sai mulkin ya koma ga ɗan’uwana; gama ya zo masa daga Ubangiji ne.
And he said, Thou know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was his from Jehovah.
16 Yanzu ina da roƙo guda da zan yi gare ki. Kada ki hana mini.” Ta ce, “Sai ka faɗa.”
And now I ask one petition of thee; do not deny me. And she said to him, Say on.
17 Sai ya ci gaba, “In kin yarda, ki yi magana da Sarki Solomon, gama ba zai ƙi jinki ba, ki ce yă ba ni yarinyan nan, Abishag, mutuniyar Shunam, tă zama matata.”
And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king (for he will not say no thee), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
18 Batsheba ta ce, “Da kyau, zan yi magana da sarki dominka.”
And Bathsheba said, Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
19 Sai Batsheba ta tafi wurin Sarki Solomon don tă yi masa magana a kan Adoniya. Sarki ya miƙe tsaye don yă sadu da ita, ya rusuna mata, ya kuma zauna a kujerar sarautarsa. Ya sa aka kawo wa mahaifiyar sarki kujerar sarauta, ta kuwa zauna a gefen damansa.
Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother. And she sat on his right hand.
20 Ta ce, “Ina da ɗan roƙon da zan nema ka yi mini. Ina fata ba za ka hana ni ba.” Sai sarki ya amsa ya ce, “Mahaifiyata, sai ki faɗa in ji, ba zan hana miki ba.”
Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; do not deny me. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother, for I will not deny thee.
21 Saboda haka sai ta ce, “Ka sa a ba wa ɗan’uwanka Adoniya, Abishag mutuniyar Shunam tă zama matarsa.”
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
22 Sarki Solomon ya amsa wa mahaifiyarsa ya ce, “Me ya sa kika roƙar wa Adoniya Abishag mutuniyar Shunam kawai? Ki ma sa a ba shi mulkin mana. Ai, shi yayana ne. I, ki roƙa dominsa, da domin Abiyatar firist, da kuma domin Yowab ɗan Zeruhiya mana!”
And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why do thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my elder brother, even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
23 Sai Sarki Solomon ya rantse da sunan Ubangiji ya ce, “Bari Allah yă yi mini hukunci mai tsanani, idan ban sa Adoniya ya biya wannan roƙo da ransa ba!
Then king Solomon swore by Jehovah, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
24 Yanzu kuwa, muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, shi wanda ya kafa ni sosai a kan kujerar sarautar mahaifina Dawuda, ya kuma kafa mini mulki kamar yadda ya yi alkawari; za a kashe Adoniya yau!”
Now therefore as Jehovah lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
25 Saboda haka Sarki Solomon ya umarci Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada yă kashe Adoniya; ya kuwa kashe shi.
And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he fell upon him so that he died.
26 Ga Abiyatar firist kuwa sarki ya ce, “Tafi gonarka a Anatot. Ka cancanci ka mutu, amma ba zan kashe ka yanzu ba, domin ka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka a gaban mahaifina Dawuda, ka kuma sha wahala tare mahaifina.”
And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Get thee to Anathoth, to thine own fields, for thou are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou bore the ark of the lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou were afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
27 Saboda haka Solomon ya cire Abiyatar daga aikin firist na Ubangiji, ya cika maganar da Ubangiji ya yi a Shilo game da gidan Eli.
So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, that he might fulfill the word of Jehovah, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 Sa’ad da labarin ya kai wurin Yowab, wanda ya haɗa kai da Adoniya, ko da yake bai haɗa kai da Absalom ba, sai ya gudu zuwa tentin Ubangiji, ya kama ƙahonin bagade ya riƙe.
And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he did not turn after Absalom. And Joab fled to the tent of Jehovah, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
29 Aka faɗa wa Sarki Solomon cewa Yowab ya gudu zuwa tentin Ubangiji, yana kuma kusa da bagade. Sai Solomon ya umarci Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya ce, “Je ka kashe shi!”
And it was told king Solomon, Joab has fled to the tent of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
30 Sai Benahiya ya shiga tentin Ubangiji ya ce wa Yowab, “Sarki ya ce, ‘Ka fita!’” Amma Yowab ya amsa ya ce, “A’a, a nan zan mutu.” Sai Benahiya ya ce wa sarki, “Ga yadda Yowab ya amsa mini.”
And Benaiah came to the tent of Jehovah, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And he said, No, but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
31 Sai sarki ya umarci Benahiya ya ce, “Yi kamar yadda ya faɗa. Ka kashe shi, ka kuma binne shi, ka wanke ni da gidan mahaifina daga laifin jini marasa laifin da Yowab ya zubar.
And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him, that thou may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.
32 Ubangiji zai sāka masa saboda jinin da ya zubar, domin ba da sanin mahaifina Dawuda ne ya fāɗa wa mutum biyun nan da takobi ba. Dukansu biyu, Abner ɗan Ner, shugaban mayaƙan Isra’ila, da Amasa ɗan Yeter, shugaban mayaƙan Yahuda, mutane ne mafi kyau da kuma mafi adalci fiye da shi.
And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David did not know it, namely, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
33 Bari alhakin jininsu yă koma a kan Yowab da kuma zuriyarsa har abada. Amma bari salamar Ubangiji tă kasance a kan Dawuda da zuriyarsa, da gidansa, da kuma mulkinsa, har abada.”
So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed forever. But to David, and to his seed, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace forever from Jehovah.
34 Sai Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya haura ya bugi Yowab, ya kashe shi, ya kuwa binne shi a gidansa a ƙauye.
Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and killed him. And he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
35 Sai sarki ya sa Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya zama shugaba a bisa mayaƙa a matsayin Yowab, ya kuma sa Zadok firist a wurin Abiyatar.
And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the army. And the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
36 Sa’an nan sarki ya aika aka kawo Shimeyi, ya kuma ce masa, “Ka gina wa kanka gida a nan a Urushalima, ka zauna a ciki, kada ka kuskura ka tafi wani wuri.
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build for thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth from there anywhere.
37 Gama ran da ka fita, ka haye Kwarin Kidron, ka tabbata za ka mutu, alhakin jininka kuwa zai koma kanka.”
For on the day thou go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shall surely die; thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
38 Shimeyi ya amsa wa sarki ya ce, “Abin da ka faɗa yana da kyau. Bawanka zai yi kamar yadda ranka yă daɗe sarki, ya faɗa.” Shimeyi kuwa ya yi zama a Urushalima na dogon lokaci.
And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
39 Amma bayan shekaru uku, biyu daga cikin bayin Shimeyi suka gudu zuwa wurin Akish ɗan Ma’aka, sarkin Gat. Aka faɗa wa Shimeyi cewa, “Bayinka suna a Gat.”
And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
40 Da jin haka, sai ya tashi ya shimfiɗa wa jakinsa abin zama, ya hau, ya tafi Gat wurin Akish domin neman bayinsa. Shimeyi kuwa ya dawo da su gida daga Gat.
And Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants. And Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
41 Da aka faɗa wa Solomon cewa Shimeyi ya bar Urushalima zuwa Gat, har ya dawo.
And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
42 Sai sarki ya aika a kawo Shimeyi, ya ce masa, “Ban sa ka rantse da sunan Ubangiji, na kuma ja maka kunne cewa, ‘A ranar da ka kuskura ka bar nan ka tafi wani wuri, ka tabbata za ka mutu ba’? A lokacin ka ce mini, ‘Abin da ka faɗa yana da kyau. Zan kuwa kiyaye.’
And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou go out, and walk abroad anywhere, thou shall surely die? And thou said to me, The saying that I have heard is good.
43 To, me ya sa ba ka kiyaye rantsuwar da ka yi ga Ubangiji, ka kuma yi biyayya da umarnin da na ba ka ba?”
Why then have thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
44 Sarki ya ce wa Shimeyi, “Ka sani a zuciyarka dukan muguntar da ka yi wa mahaifina Dawuda. Yanzu Ubangiji zai sāka maka saboda muguntarka.
The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou know all the iniquity which thy heart is privy to, what thou did to David my father. Therefore Jehovah shall return thy iniquity upon thine own head.
45 Amma za a yi wa Sarki Solomon albarka, sarautar Dawuda kuma za tă kasance a tsare a gaban Ubangiji har abada.”
But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah forever.
46 Sai sarki ya umarci Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, yă fita, yă bugi Shimeyi, yă kashe shi. Ya kuwa kashe shi. Mulki kuwa ya kahu sosai a hannun Solomon.
So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And he went out, and fell upon him so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
