2 Sama’ila 1
1 Bayan mutuwar Shawulu, Dawuda ya dawo daga karkashe Amalekawa. Sai ya zauna a Ziklag kwana biyu.
Now it happened that, after Saul died, David returned from the slaughter of Amalek, and he remained for two days at Ziklag.
2 A rana ta uku sai ga wani mutum ya zo daga sansanin Shawulu da yagaggen riga da ƙura a kansa. Da ya zo wurin Dawuda sai ya fāɗi a ƙasa don yă nuna bangirma.
Then, on the third day, a man appeared, arriving from the camp of Saul, with his garments torn and dust sprinkled on his head. And when he came to David, he fell on his face, and he reverenced.
3 Dawuda ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Daga ina ka fito?” Ya amsa ya ce, “Na tsere ne daga sansanin Isra’ila.”
And David said to him, “Where have you come from?” And he said to him, “I have fled from the camp of Israel.”
4 Dawuda ya ce, “Gaya mini, me ya faru?” Sai ya ce, “Mutane sun gudu daga yaƙi, aka kuma karkashe yawancin mutane. Shawulu da ɗansa Yonatan ma sun mutu.”
And David said to him: “What is the word that has happened? Reveal it to me.” And he said: “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people have fallen and died. Moreover, Saul and his son Jonathan have passed away.”
5 Sai Dawuda ya ce wa saurayin da ya kawo labarin, “Yaya ka san cewa Shawulu da ɗansa Yonatan sun mutu?”
And David said to the youth who was reporting to him, “How do you know that Saul and his son Jonathan have died?”
6 Saurayin ya ce, “Ina kan dutsen Gilbowa a lokacin sai na ga Shawulu jingine a māshinsa. Kekunan yaƙi da mahayansu suna matsowa kusa da shi.
And the youth, who was reporting it to him, said: “I arrived by chance on mount Gilboa. And Saul was lying upon his spear. Then the chariots and horsemen drew near to him.
7 Da ya juya ya gan ni sai ya kira ni, na kuwa ce masa, ‘Ga ni?’
And turning behind his back and seeing me, he called to me. And when I had responded, “I am here,”
8 “Ya tambaye ni ya ce, ‘Wane ne kai?’ “Na ce, ‘Ni mutumin Amalek ne.’
he said to me, “Who are you?” And I said to him, “I am an Amalekite.”
9 “Sai ya ce mini, ‘Matso kusa ka kashe ni! Ina cikin azabar mutuwa, sai dai har yanzu ina da rai.’
And he said to me: “Stand over me, and kill me. For anguish has taken hold of me, and still my whole life is in me.”
10 “Saboda haka na matso kusa da shi na kashe shi, domin na san cewa ba zai yi rai ba, da yake ya riga ya fāɗi. Sai na cire rawanin da yake kansa, na kuma cire warwaron hannunsa, na kuwa kawo maka su duka, ranka yă daɗe!”
And standing over him, I killed him. For I knew that he was not able to live after the fall. And I took the diadem that was on his head, and the bracelet from his arm, and I have brought them here to you, my lord.”
11 Sai Dawuda da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi suka yayyage rigunarsu.
Then David, taking hold of his garments, tore them, with all the men who were with him.
12 Suka yi makoki, da kuka, da azumi har yamma saboda Shawulu da ɗansa Yonatan, da saboda sojojin Ubangiji, da kuma gidan Isra’ila, gama an karkashe su a yaƙi.
And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until evening, over Saul and over his son Jonathan, and over the people of the Lord and over the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Dawuda ya ce wa saurayin da ya kawo labarin, “Daga ina ka fito?” Ya ce, “Ni ɗan wani baƙo ne, mutumin Amalek.”
And David said to the youth who had reported it to him, “Where are you from?” And he responded, “I am the son of a man who is a new arrival from the Amalekites.”
14 Dawuda ya ce masa, “Yaya ba ka ji tsoro ɗaga hannu ka hallaka shafaffe na Ubangiji ba?”
And David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to put forth your hand, so that you would kill the Christ of the Lord?”
15 Sai Dawuda ya kira ɗaya daga cikin mutanensa ya ce, “Je ka kashe shi!” Haka kuwa ya buge shi, ya kuwa mutu.
And calling one of his servants, David said, “Draw near and rush against him” And he struck him, and he died.
16 Gama Dawuda ya riga ya ce masa, “Alhakin jininka yana bisa kanka tun da yake da bakinka ka ce, ‘Ni ne na kashe shafaffe na Ubangiji.’”
And David said to him: “Your blood is upon your own head. For your own mouth has spoken against you, saying: ‘I have killed the Christ of the Lord.’”
17 Dawuda ya rera wannan makoki saboda Shawulu da ɗansa Yonatan.
Then David mourned a lamentation over Saul and over his son Jonathan, in this way.
18 Ya umarta a koya wa mutanen Yahuda wannan waƙa mai suna Makokin Baka (tana a rubuce a Littafin Yashar),
(And he instructed that they should teach the sons of Judah the bow, just as it is written in the Book of the Just.) And he said: “Consider, O Israel, on behalf of those who are dead, wounded upon your heights:
19 “Ya Isra’ila, an kashe darajarki a kan tuddanki. Ga shi, jarumawa sun fāɗi!
The illustrious of Israel have been killed upon your mountains. How could the valiant have fallen?
20 “Kada a faɗe shi a Gat, kada a yi shelarsa a titunan Ashkelon, don kada’yan matan Filistiyawa su yi murna don kada’yan matan marasa kaciya su yi farin ciki.
Do not choose to announce it in Gath, and do not announce it in the crossroads of Ashkelon. Otherwise, the daughters of the Philistines may rejoice; otherwise, the daughters of the uncircumcised may exult.
21 “Ya duwatsun Gilbowa, kada a sāke yin ruwa ko raɓa a kanku, balle gonakin da suke ba da hatsin hadaya su ƙara bayarwa. Gama a can ne garkuwoyin manyan sojoji suka kwanta, suka kwanta a wulaƙance. Garkuwar Shawulu kuwa, ba za a ƙara shafa mata mai ba.
O mountains of Gilboa, let neither dew, nor rain fall over you, and may these not be the fields of the first-fruits. For in that place, the shield of the valiant was cast away, the shield of Saul, as if he had not been anointed with oil.
22 “Daga jinin waɗanda aka kashe, daga tsokar naman jarumi, bakan Yonatan bai juye baya ba, takobin Shawulu bai komo ba tare da gamsuwa ba.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the strong, the arrow of Jonathan never turned back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
23 Shawulu da Yonatan, a raye ƙaunatattu ne da kuma bansha’awa, a mace kuma ba su rabu ba. Sun fi gaggafa sauri, sun fi zaki ƙarfi.
Saul and Jonathan, worthy to be loved, and stately in their life: even in death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.
24 “Ya ku’yan matan Isra’ila, ku yi kuka saboda Shawulu, wanda ya suturta ku da jajjayen kayan ado, wanda ya yi wa rigunarku ado da zinariya.
O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you with scarlet finery, who offered ornaments of gold for your adornment.
25 “Jarumawa sun fāɗi a yaƙi! Ga Yonatan matacce a tuddanku.
How could the valiant have fallen in battle? How could Jonathan have been slain on the heights?
26 Na yi baƙin ciki saboda kai, Yonatan ɗan’uwana; ƙaunatacce kake a gare ni. Ƙaunarka a gare ni abar al’ajabi ce, abar al’ajabi fiye da ta mace.
I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan: exceedingly stately, and worthy to be loved above the love of women. As a mother loves her only son, so also did I love you.
27 “Jarumawa sun fāɗi! Makaman yaƙi sun hallaka!”
How could the robust have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished?”
