2 Sama’ila 10
1 Ana nan sai sarkin Ammonawa ya rasu, ɗansa Hanun kuwa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
It happened after this, that the king of the people of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 Dawuda ya yi tunani a ransa ya ce, “Zan yi wa Hanun ɗan Nahash alheri kamar yadda mahaifinsa ya yi mini.” Saboda haka sai Dawuda ya aiki jakadu su yi masa ta’aziyyar mutuwar mahaifinsa. Sa’ad da mutanen Dawuda suka isa ƙasar Ammonawa,
David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent by his servants to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon.
3 sai manyan mutanen Ammonawa suka ce wa Hanun shugabansu, “Kana tsammani Dawuda yana girmama mahaifinka ne da ya aiko da jakadu su kawo maka ta’aziyya? Ai, wayo ya yi don yă ga asirin birninmu, yă san ƙarfinmu, yă kuma ci mu da yaƙi.”
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Hasn't David sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?"
4 Saboda haka Hanun ya kama mutanen Dawuda ya aske rabin gemun kowannensu, ya yayyage rigunarsu daidai ɗuwawu, sa’an nan ya sallame su.
So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Sa’ad da aka gaya wa Dawuda game da wannan, sai ya aiki manzanni su taryi waɗannan mutanen da aka ci mutuncinsu, gama an wulaƙanta su ƙwarai. Sai sarki ya ce musu, “Ku dakata a Yeriko har sai gemunku ya sāke girma, sa’an nan ku dawo.”
When David was told, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
6 Da Ammonawa suka gane cewa Dawuda ya ji fushi da su sosai saboda abin da suka yi, sai suka yi hayar sojojin ƙasar Arameyawa dubu ashirin daga Bet Rehob da Aram-Zoba, suka kuma yi hayar sarkin Ma’aka tare da mutum dubu ɗaya, suka kuma yi hayar maza dubu goma sha biyu daga Tob.
When the people of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the people of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth Rehob, and the Arameans of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 Da jin haka, Dawuda ya tura Yowab da dukan sojojin yaƙi.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
8 Ammonawa suka fita suka ja dāgār yaƙi a ƙofar shiga birninsu, yayinda Aram-Zoba, da na Rehob, da mutane Tob, da kuma na Ma’aka, suka ja tasu dāgār a karkara.
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate: and the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 Yowab ya ga cewa an ja masa dāgār yaƙi gaba da baya; saboda haka sai ya zaɓi waɗansu shahararrun sojoji cikin Isra’ila, ya sa su gabza da Arameyawa.
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans:
10 Ya sa sauran mutanen a ƙarƙashin Abishai ɗan’uwansa, ya sa su gabza da Ammonawa.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the people of Ammon.
11 Yowab ya ce, “In Arameyawa suka fi ƙarfina, sai ku kawo mini gudummawa; amma in Ammonawa suka fi ƙarfinku, sai mu kawo muku gudummawa.
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.
12 Ku yi ƙarfin hali, mu kuma yi yaƙi da ƙarfin zuciya saboda mutanenmu da kuma birane Allahnmu. Ubangiji zai yi abin da yake da kyau a idanunsa.”
Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seems good to him."
13 Sa’an nan Yowab da rundunar da take tare da shi suka ci gaba don su gabza da Arameyawa, Arameyawa kuwa suka gudu a gabansa.
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans: and they fled before him.
14 Da Ammonawa suka ga Arameyawa suna gudu, sai su ma suka ruga da gudu a gaban Abishai, suka shiga cikin birni. Sa’an nan Yowab ya komo Urushalima daga wurin yaƙin da ya yi da Ammonawa.
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the people of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Bayan Arameyawa suka ga Isra’ila ta ci su da yaƙi, sai suka sāke tattara kansu.
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by the children of Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 Hadadezer sarkin Zoba ya aika a kawo Arameyawan da suke ƙetaren Kogin Yuferites. Suka iso Helam a ƙarƙashin shugabancin Shobak, shugaban dukan sojojin Hadadezer.
Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
17 Da aka gaya wa Dawuda wannan, sai ya tattara dukan Isra’ila, ya ƙetare Urdun, ya je Helam. Arameyawa suka ja dāgār yaƙinsu, suka kara da Dawuda.
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. The Arameans set themselves in array against David, and fought with him,
18 Amma Arameyawa suka gudu a gaban Isra’ila, Dawuda kuwa ya kashe mahayan keken yaƙinsu ɗari bakwai, da sojojin ƙasa dubu arba’in. Ya bugi Shobak, shugaban ƙungiyar sojansu ya kuwa mutu a can.
but fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand foot soldiers, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.
19 Sa’ad da dukan sarakuna waɗanda suke abokan tarayya na Hadadezer suka ga Isra’ila sun ci su da yaƙi, sai suka yi sulhu da Isra’ilawa, suka kuma zama bayinsu. Wannan ya sa Arameyawa suka ji tsoron ƙara kai wa Ammonawa gudummawa.
When all the vassals of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Arameans were afraid to give further aid to the Ammonites.
