2 Sama’ila 11
1 Da bazara, a lokacin da sarakuna sukan fita zuwa yaƙi, sai Dawuda ya aiki Yowab tare da mutanen sarki, da dukan Isra’ila. Suka je suka hallaka Ammonawa, suka kuma yi wa Rabba kwanton ɓauna. Amma Dawuda ya yi zamansa a Urushalima.
Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent Joab and his servants and all Israel with him; and they made waste the land of the children of Ammon, and took up their position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem.
2 Wata rana da yamma, Dawuda ya tashi daga gadonsa, ya zaga kewaye a rufin fadansa. Daga rufin ya ga wata mace tana wanka. Matar kyakkyawa ce ƙwarai.
Now one evening, David got up from his bed, and while he was walking on the roof of the king's house, he saw from there a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.
3 Sai Dawuda ya aiki wani yă bincika ko wace ce ita, sai mutumin ya dawo ya ce, “Wannan ba Batsheba ba ce,’yar Eliyam matar Uriya, mutumin Hitti?”
And David sent to get knowledge who the woman was. And one said, Is this not Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?
4 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya aiki manzanni su kawo masa ita. Ta zo wurinsa shi kuma ya kwana da ita (A lokacin kuwa ta gama tsarkake kanta ke nan daga jinin haila.) Sa’an nan ta tafi gida.
And David sent and took her; and she came to him, and he took her to his bed: (for she had been made clean; ) then she went back to her house.
5 Matar ta yi ciki, ta kuwa aika wa Dawuda, tana cewa, “Ina da ciki.”
And the woman became with child; and she sent word to David that she was with child.
6 Saboda haka Dawuda ya aika saƙo wa Yowab ya ce, “Ka aiko mini da Uriya mutumin Hitti.” Yowab kuwa ya aika da shi wajen Dawuda.
And David sent to Joab saying, Send Uriah the Hittite to me. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
7 Da Uriya ya zo wurinsa, sai Dawuda ya tambaye shi lafiyar Yowab da sojojin, da kuma yaya yaƙin yake tafiya.
And when Uriah came to him, David put questions to him about how Joab and the people were, and how the war was going.
8 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya ce wa Uriya, “Gangara gidanka ka wanke ƙafafunka.” Saboda haka Uriya ya bar fadar, sarki kuma ya aika masa da kyauta.
And David said to Uriah, Go down to your house and let your feet be washed. And Uriah went away from the king's house, and an offering from the king was sent after him.
9 Amma Uriya ya kwanta a ƙofar fada tare da dukan bayin maigidansa, bai kuwa tafi gidansa ba.
But Uriah took his rest at the door of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.
10 Da aka gaya wa Dawuda, “Uriya bai tafi gida ba,” sai Dawuda ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Ba ka zo daga wuri mai nisa ba? Me ya sa ba ka je gida ba?”
And when word was given to David that Uriah had not gone down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have you not come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house?
11 Sai Uriya ya ce wa Dawuda, “Akwatin Alkawari, da Isra’ila, da Yahuda suna zama cikin tentuna, kuma maigidana Yowab da mutanen ranka yă daɗe suna a sansani a fili. Yaya zan je gidana in ci in sha in kuma kwana da matata? Muddin kana a raye, ba zan yi irin wannan abu ba!”
And Uriah said to David, Israel and Judah with the ark are living in tents, and my lord Joab and the other servants of my lord are sleeping in the open field; and am I to go to my house and take food and drink, and go to bed with my wife? By the living Lord, and by the life of your soul, I will not do such a thing.
12 Sai Dawuda ya ce masa, “Ka ƙara dakata a nan kwana ɗaya, gobe kuwa in sallame ka.” Saboda haka Uriya ya dakata a Urushalima a ranar, da kuma ta biye.
And David said to Uriah, Be here today, and after that I will let you go. So Uriah was in Jerusalem that day and the day after.
13 Dawuda ya gayyace shi, ya kuwa ci ya sha tare da shi, Dawuda ya sa ya bugu tilis. Amma da yamma Uriya ya koma ya kwanta a tabarmarsa cikin bayin maigidan sarki; bai je gida ba.
And when David sent for him, he took meat and drink with him, and David made him the worse for drink: and when evening came, he went to rest on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.
14 Da safe Dawuda ya rubuta wa Yowab wasiƙa ya ba wa Uriya.
Now in the morning, David gave Uriah a letter to take to Joab.
15 A ciki wasiƙar ya rubuta, “Tura Uriya a gaba inda yaƙi ya fi zafi. Sa’an nan ka janye daga gare shi don a buge shi yă mutu.”
And in the letter he said, Take care to put Uriah in the very front of the line, where the fighting is most violent, and go back from him, so that he may be overcome and put to death.
16 Saboda haka yayinda Yowab ya kai yaƙi kusa da birnin, sai tura Uriya a inda ya sani akwai jarumawan Ammon na gaske.
So while Joab was watching the town, he put Uriah in the place where it was clear to him the best fighters were.
17 Sa’ad da mutanen garin suka fito suka yaƙi Yowab, sai waɗansu mutane daga sojojin Dawuda suka mutu; Uriya mutumin Hitti ma ya mutu.
And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.
18 Yowab ya aika wa Dawuda cikakken labari batun yaƙin.
Then Joab sent David news of everything which had taken place in the war:
19 Ya umarci manzon ya ce, “Da ka gama yin wa sarki wannan batun yaƙin,
And he gave orders to the man who took the news, saying, After you have given the king all the news about the war,
20 wataƙila sarki yă husata, yă tambaye ka, ‘Me ya sa kuka je kusa da birnin don ku yi yaƙi? Ba ku san cewa za su yi harbi daga katanga ba?
If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?
21 Wane ne ya kashe Abimelek ɗan Yerub-Beshet? Ba mace ce ta jefa dutsen niƙa a kansa daga katanga, ta haka ya mutu a Tebez ba? Me ya sa kuka je kurkusa da katangar?’ In ya tambaye ka wannan, sai ka ce masa, ‘Har bawanka Uriya mutumin Hitti ma ya mutu.’”
Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.
22 Manzon ya tashi ya tafi, da ya iso kuwa sai ya gaya wa Dawuda dukan abin da Yowab ya aike shi yă faɗa.
So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall?
23 Manzon ya ce wa Dawuda, “Mutanen sun sha kanmu suka fito suka yaƙe mu a fili, amma muka kore su har ƙofar birni.
And the man said to David, Truly the men got the better of us, and came out against us into the open country, but we sent them back to the very doors of the town.
24 Sa’an nan maharba suka yi ta harbi daga katanga har waɗansu mutanen sarki suka mutu. Ban da haka ma, Uriya mutumin Hitti bawan sarki ya mutu.”
And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.
25 Dawuda ya ce wa manzon, “Ka gaya wa Yowab, ‘Kada ka bar wannan yă dame ka; yadda takobi ya lamushe wannan, haka zai lamushe wancan ma. Ku ƙara matsa wa garin lamba, ku hallaka shi.’ Ka faɗa haka don ka ƙarfafa Yowab.”
Then David said to the man, Go and say to Joab, Do not let this be a grief to you; for one man may come to his death by the sword like another: put up an even stronger fight against the town, and take it: and do you put heart into him.
26 Da matar Uriya ta ji cewa mijinta ya mutu, sai ta yi makoki saboda shi.
And when the wife of Uriah had news that her husband was dead, she gave herself up to weeping for him.
27 Bayan kwanakin makoki suka ƙare, Dawuda ya sa aka kawo ta gidansa, ta kuwa zama matarsa, ta kuma haifa masa ɗa. Sai dai abin da Dawuda ya yi bai gamshi Ubangiji ba.
And when the days of weeping were past, David sent for her, and took her into his house, and she became his wife and gave him a son. But the Lord was not pleased with the thing David had done.
