1 Sarakuna 2
1 Da lokacin mutuwar Dawuda ya yi kusa, sai ya gargaɗe Solomon ɗansa, ya ce,
Now the days of David drew nigh 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 go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew 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 the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest 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 the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children 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 (said he) 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 knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, [and] what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle 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 h7585)
Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585)
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 shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of 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, [thou hast] with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, 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 h7585)
Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou [art] a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. (Sheol h7585)
10 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya huta tare da kakanninsa. Sai aka binne shi a Birnin Dawuda.
So 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: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
12 Solomon kuwa ya zauna a kan kujerar sarautar mahaifinsa Dawuda, mulkinsa kuwa ya kahu sosai.
Then sat Solomon 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.”
And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou 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 somewhat to say unto 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 knowest that the kingdom was mine, and [that] all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother’s: for it was his from the LORD.
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, deny me not. And she said unto 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, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay, ) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
18 Batsheba ta ce, “Da kyau, zan yi magana da sarki dominka.”
And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto 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.
Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat 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 desire one small petition of thee; [I pray thee], say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.
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 unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he [is] mine 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 sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have 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] the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, 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 the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him 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 unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou [art] worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been 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 unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake 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.
Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, 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 that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; 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 tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; 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 unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
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 the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing [thereof, to wit], Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host 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.”
Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.
34 Sai Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya haura ya bugi Yowab, ya kashe shi, ya kuwa binne shi a gidansa a ƙauye.
So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew 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 host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room 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 unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
37 Gama ran da ka fita, ka haye Kwarin Kidron, ka tabbata za ka mutu, alhakin jininka kuwa zai koma kanka.”
For it shall be, [that] on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt 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 unto the king, The saying [is] good: as my lord the king hath 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 unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants [be] 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 ass, 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 unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word [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 hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, 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 knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness 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.”
And king Solomon [shall be] blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
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; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
