1 Sarakuna 1

1 Sa’ad da Sarki Dawuda ya tsufa ya kuma ƙara shekaru, ba ya iya jin ɗumi ko an rufe shi da abin rufuwa.

Now king David was old, and advanced in years: and when he was covered with clothes, he was not warm.

2 Saboda haka bayinsa suka ce masa, “Bari mu nemi wata budurwa wadda za tă yi wa ranka yă daɗe, sarki hidima, tă kuma kula da shi. Za tă dinga kwanta kusa da ranka yă daɗe, yă ji ɗumi.”

His servants therefore said to him: Let us seek for our lord the king, a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him, and sleep in his bosom, and warm our lord the king.

3 Suka nemi kyakkyawar yarinya cikin fāɗin Isra’ila, sai suka sami Abishag, mutuniyar Shunam, suka kawo ta wa sarki.

So they sought a beautiful young woman in all the coasts of Israel, and they found Abisag a Sunamitess, and brought her to the king.

4 Yarinyar kuwa kyakkyawa ce ƙwarai; ta kuwa lura da sarki, ta kuma yi masa hidima, amma sarki bai yi jima’i da ita ba.

And the damsel was exceeding beautiful, and she slept with the king: and served him, but the king did not know her.

5 Adoniya, wanda mahaifiyarsa ce Haggit, ya fito ya ce, “Zan zama sarki.” Saboda haka ya nemi kekunan yaƙi, ya kuma shirya dawakai, tare da mutane hamsin da za su sha gabansa.

And Adonias the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying: I will be king. And he made himself chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

6 (A duk rayuwarsa mahaifinsa bai taɓa tsawata masa yă ce, “Me ya sa kake yin haka ba?” Shi kuwa mai kyan gani ne ƙwarai, shi ne aka haifa bayan Absalom.)

Neither did his father rebuke him at any time, saying: Why hast thou done this? And he also was very beautiful, the next in birth after Absalom.

7 Adoniya ya haɗa baƙi da Yowab ɗan Zeruhiya da kuma Abiyatar firist, suka kuma ba shi goyon baya.

And he conferred with Joab the son of Sarvia, and with Abiathar the priest, who furthered Adonias’s side.

8 Amma Zadok firist, Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, annabi Natan, Shimeyi, Reyi da kuma matsara na musamman na Dawuda ba su bi Adoniya ba.

But Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Rei, and the strength of David’s army was not with Adonias.

9 Wata rana Adoniya ya tafi Dutsen Zohelet kusa da En Rogel, inda ya yi hadayar tumaki, da shanun noma, da shanun da ake kiwo a gida. Ya kuma gayyaci’yan’uwansa, wato, sauran’ya’yan Sarki Dawuda, tare da dukan dattawan sarki da suka fito daga Yahuda,

And Adonias having slain rams and calves, and all fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which was near the fountain Rogel, invited all his brethren the king’s sons, and all the men of Juda, the king’s servants:

10 amma bai gayyaci annabi Natan, ko Benahiya, ko wani daga matsara na musamman, ko kuwa ɗan’uwansa Solomon ba.

But Nathan the prophet, and Banaias, and all the valiant men, and Solomon his brother, he invited not.

11 Sai Natan ya ce wa Batsheba, mahaifiyar Solomon, “Ki san cewa Adoniya, ɗan Haggit, ya zama sarki ba tare da sanin ranka yă daɗe, sarkinmu Dawuda ba?

And Nathan said to Bethsabee the mother of Solomon: Hast thou not heard that Adonias the son of Haggith reigneth, and our lord David knoweth it not?

12 Yanzu bari in ba ki shawara yadda za ki cece ranki da kuma ran ɗanki Solomon.

Now then come, take my counsel and save thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

13 Ki shiga wurin Sarki Dawuda ki ce masa, ‘Ranka yă daɗe sarki, ba ka rantse mini ni baiwarka cewa, “Tabbatacce Solomon ɗanka ne zai zama sarki bayana, yă kuma zauna a kujerar sarautar ba”? To, me ya sa Adoniya ya zama sarki?’

Go, and get thee in to king David, and say to him: Didst not thou, my lord O king, swear to me thy handmaid, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? why then doth Adonias reign?

14 Yayinda kike can kina magana da sarki, zan shiga in kuma tabbatar da abin da kika faɗa.”

And while thou art yet speaking there with the king, I will come in after thee, and will fill up thy words.

15 Saboda haka Batsheba ta je don tă ga sarki. A yanzu dai sarki ya tsufa, yana nan kuma a cikin ɗakinsa, inda Abishag mutuniya Shunam take masa hidima.

So Bethsabee went in to the king into the chamber: now the king was very old, and Abisag the Sunamitess ministered to him.

16 Batsheba ta rusuna ta kuma durƙusa a gaban sarki. Sai sarki ya tambaye ta ya ce, “Me kike so?”

Bethsabee bowed herself, and worshipped the king. And the king said to her: What is thy will?

17 Ta ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, kai kanka ka rantse mini ni baiwarka da sunan Ubangiji Allahnka cewa, ‘Solomon ɗanka zai zama sarki bayana, zai kuma zauna a kujerar sarautata.’

She answered and said: My lord, thou didst swear to thy handmaid by the Lord thy God, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.

18 Amma yanzu Adoniya ya zama sarki, kai kuwa ranka yă daɗe sarki, ba ka san wani abu game da shi ba.

And behold now Adonias reigneth, and thou, my lord the king, knowest nothing of it.

19 Ya miƙa hadayun shanu, da shanun da ake kiwo a gida, da tumaki masu yawa, ya kuma gayyaci dukan’ya’yan sarki maza, da Abiyatar firist, da Yowab shugaban mayaƙa, amma bai gayyaci Solomon bawanka ba.

He hath killed oxen, and all fat cattle, and many rams, and invited all the king’s sons, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the general of the army: but Solomon thy servant he invited not.

20 Ranka yă daɗe sarki, idanun dukan Isra’ila suna a kanka, domin su san wa zai zauna a kujerar ranka yă daɗe sarkina, a bayanka.

And now, my lord O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldst tell them, who shall sit on thy throne, my lord the king, after thee.

21 In ba haka, bayan an binne ranka yă daɗe sarki, tare da kakanninsa, za a wulaƙance ni da Solomon ɗana, kamar masu laifi.”

Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king sleepeth with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.

22 Yayinda take cikin magana tare da sarki, sai annabi Natan ya iso.

As she was yet speaking with the king, Nathan the prophet came.

23 Sai aka faɗa wa sarki, “Ga annabi Natan.” Da Natan ya je gaban sarki, sai ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.

And they told the king, saying: Nathan the prophet is here. And when he was come in before the king, and had worshipped, bowing down to the ground,

24 Natan ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, sarki, ko ka furta cewa Adoniya ne zai zama sarki a bayanka, yă kuma zauna a kujerar sarautarka?

Nathan said: My lord O king, hast thou said: Let Adonias reign after me, and let him sit upon my throne?

25 Yau ya gangara, ya kuma miƙa hadayun shanu, da shanun da ake kiwo a gida, da tumaki masu yawa. Ya gayyaci dukan’ya’yan sarki maza, da shugaban mayaƙa, da kuma Abiyatar firist. A yanzu haka suna ci, suna sha, tare da shi, suna cewa, ‘Ran Sarki Adoniya yă daɗe!’

Because he is gone down today, and hath killed oxen, and fatlings, and many rams, and invited all the king’s sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest: and they are eating and drinking before him, and saying: God save king Adonias:

26 Amma bai gayyace ni bawanka, da Zadok firist, da Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, da kuma bawanka Solomon ba.

But me thy servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and Solomon thy servant he hath not invited.

27 Ranka yă daɗe, sarki, ko ka tabbatar da haka, amma ba ka ko faɗa wa fadawanka, cewa ga wanda zai gāje Ranka yă daɗe, sarki ba?”

Is this word come out from my lord the king, and hast thou not told me thy servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

28 Sai Dawuda ya ce, “Kira Batsheba tă shiga.” Sai ta zo gaban sarki ta kuma tsaya a gabansa.

And king David answered and said: Call to me Bethsabee. And when she was come in to the king, and stood before him,

29 Sai sarki ya yi rantsuwa, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, wanda ya cece ni daga kowace damuwa,

The king swore and said: As the Lord liveth, who hath delivered my soul out of all distress,

30 tabbatacce a yau zan aikata abin da na yi miki rantsuwa da sunan Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila; Solomon ɗanki zai zama sarki bayana, kuma shi zai zauna a kan kujerar sarautata a maimakona.”

Even as I swore to thee by the Lord the God of Israel, saying: Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.

31 Sai Batsheba ta rusuna da fuskarta har ƙasa, ta kuma durƙusa a gaban sarki ta ce, “Bari ran Sarkina Dawuda yă daɗe, har abada!”

And Bethsabee bowing with her face to the earth worshipped the king, saying: May my lord David live for ever.

32 Sarki Dawuda ya ce, “Ku kira mini Zadok firist, annabi Natan, da Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada.” Da suka zo gaban sarki,

King David also said: Call me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada. And when they were come in before the king,

33 sai ya ce musu, “Ku ɗauki bayin sarki tare da ku, ku kuma sa ɗana Solomon a kan dokina, ku gangara da shi zuwa Gihon.

He said to them: Take with you the servants of your lord, and set my son Solomon upon my mule: and bring him to Gihon.

34 A can ku sa Zadok firist, da annabi Natan su shafe shi sarki a bisa Isra’ila. Ku busa ƙaho, ku kuma yi ihu, kuna cewa, ‘Ran Sarki Solomon yă daɗe!’

And let Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and you shall sound the trumpet, and shall say: God save king Solomon.

35 Sa’an nan ku haura tare da shi, zai kuwa zo yă zauna a kujera sarautata, yă yi mulki a maimakona. Na naɗa shi mai mulki a bisa Isra’ila da Yahuda.”

And you shall come up after him, and he shall come, and shall sit upon my throne, and he shall reign in my stead: and I will appoint him to be ruler over Israel, and over Juda.

36 Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya amsa wa sarki, ya ce, “Amin! Bari Ubangiji Allah na ranka yă daɗe sarkina, yă tabbatar da haka.

And Banaias the son of Joiada answered the king, saying: Amen: so say the Lord the God of my lord the king.

37 Kamar yadda Ubangiji ya kasance da ranka yă daɗe, sarki, haka ma bari yă kasance da Solomon, yă kuma mai da kujerar sarautarsa tă fi kujerar sarautar ranka yă daɗe, Sarki Dawuda, girma!”

As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, so be he with Solomon, and make his throne higher than the throne of my lord king David.

38 Sai Zadok firist, annabi Natan, Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, Keretawa, da Feletiyawa suka gangara, suka sa Solomon a kan dokin Sarki Dawuda, suka raka shi zuwa Gihon.

So Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet went down, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi: and they set Solomon upon the mule of king David, and brought him to Gihon.

39 Zadok firist ya ɗauki ƙahon mai daga tenti mai tsarki, ya shafe Solomon. Sa’an nan suka busa ƙaho, sai dukan mutane suka yi ihu, suna cewa “Ran Sarki Solomon yă daɗe!”

And Sadoc the priest took a horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon: and they sounded the trumpet, and all the people said: God save king Solomon.

40 Dukan mutane kuwa suka haura suka bi shi, suna busan sarewa, suna farin ciki sosai, har ƙasa ta girgiza saboda sowa.

And all the multitude went up after him, and the people played with pipes, and rejoiced with a great joy, and the earth rang with the noise of their cry.

41 Adoniya tare da dukan baƙin da suke tare da shi kuwa suka ji wannan sa’ad da suke gama bikinsu. Da jin busan ƙaho, sai Yowab ya yi tambaya, ya ce, “Me ya jawo surutu haka a birni?”

And Adonias, and all that were invited by him, heard it, and now the feast was at an end: Joab also hearing the sound of the trumpet, said: What meaneth this noise of the city in an uproar?

42 Tun yana cikin magana, sai Yonatan ɗan Abiyatar ya iso. Adoniya ya ce, “Shigo! Ai, mutumin kirki irinka, lalle ka kawo labari mai daɗi ne.”

While he yet spoke, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came: and Adonias said to him: Come in, because thou art a valiant man, and bringest good news.

43 Yonatan ya ce wa Adoniya, “A ina! Ranka yă daɗe, Sarkinmu Dawuda ya naɗa Solomon sarki.

And Jonathan answered Adonias: Not so: for our lord king David hath appointed Solomon king.

44 Sarki ya aika shi tare da Zadok firist, annabi Natan, Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada, Keretawa, da Feletiyawa, suka sa shi a kan dokin sarki,

And hath sent with him Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaias the son of Joiada, and the Cerethi, and Phelethi, and they have set him upon the king’s mule.

45 Zadok firist kuwa da annabi Natan sun shafe shi sarki a Gihon. Daga can suka haura suna kirari, birni kuwa ta ɓarke da sowa. Surutun da kake ji ke nan.

And Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are gone up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again: this is the noise that you have heard.

46 Ban da haka ma, Solomon ne sarki yanzu.

Moreover Solomon sitteth upon the throne of the kingdom,

47 Yanzu haka, fadawa sun zo suna wa ranka yă daɗe, Sarki Dawuda, sam barka, suna cewa, ‘Bari Allahnka yă sa sunan Solomon yă zama sananne fiye da naka, bari kuma sarautarsa tă fi taka girma!’ Sarki kuwa ya rusuna, ya yi sujada a kan gadonsa

And the king’s servants going in have blessed our lord king David, saying: May God make the name of Solomon greater than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king adored in his bed:

48 ya ce, ‘Yabo ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, wanda ya bar idanuna suka ga magāji a kan kujerar sarautata a yau.’”

And he said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who hath given this day one to sit on my throne, my eyes seeing it.

49 A nan fa, dukan baƙin Adoniya suka taso da rawar jiki suka watse.

Then all the guests of Adonias were afraid, and they all arose and every man went his way.

50 Amma Adoniya, don tsoron Solomon, ya je ya kama ƙahon bagade ya riƙe.

And Adonias fearing Solomon, arose, and went, and took hold on the horn of the altar.

51 Sa’ad da aka faɗa wa Solomon cewa, “Adoniya yana tsoron Sarki Solomon, kuma ya manne wa ƙahonin bagade. Yana cewa, ‘Bari Sarki Solomon yă rantse mini a yau cewa ba zai kashe bawansa da takobi ba.’”

And they told Solomon, saying: Behold Adonias, fearing king Solomon, hath taken hold of the horn of the altar, saying: Let king Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword.

52 Solomon ya amsa ya ce, “In ya nuna kansa mai biyayya, ba gashin kansa da zai fāɗi ƙasa; amma in aka same mugunta a cikinsa, zai mutu.”

And Solomon said: If he be a good man, there shall not so much as one hair of his head fall to the ground: but if evil be found in him, he shall die.

53 Sai Sarki Solomon ya aiki mutane, suka kuma sauko da shi daga bagade. Adoniya kuwa ya zo, ya rusuna wa Sarki Solomon, sai Solomon ya ce, “Tafi gidanka.”

Then king Solomon sent, and brought him out from the altar: and going in he worshipped king Solomon: and Solomon said to him: Go to thy house.
