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.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth to war, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they spoiled the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabba: but David remained in 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.
In the mean time it happened that David arose from his bed after noon, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and he saw from the roof of his house a woman washing herself, over against him: 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 the king sent, and inquired who the woman was. And it was told him, that she was Bethsabee the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Urias the Hethite.
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 messengers, and took her, and she came in to him, and he slept with her: and presently she was purified from her uncleanness:
5 Matar ta yi ciki, ta kuwa aika wa Dawuda, tana cewa, “Ina da ciki.”
And she returned to her house having conceived. And she sent and told David, and said: I have conceived.
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 me Urias the Hethite. And Joab sent Urias to David.
7 Da Uriya ya zo wurinsa, sai Dawuda ya tambaye shi lafiyar Yowab da sojojin, da kuma yaya yaƙin yake tafiya.
And Urias came to David. And David asked how Joab did, and the people, and how the war was carried on.
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 Urias: Go into thy house, and wash thy feet. And Urias went out from the king’s house, and there went out after him a mess of meat from the king.
9 Amma Uriya ya kwanta a ƙofar fada tare da dukan bayin maigidansa, bai kuwa tafi gidansa ba.
But Urias slept before the gate of the king’s house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own 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 it was told David by some that said: Urias went not to his house. And David said to Urias: Didst thou not come from thy journey? why didst thou not go down to thy 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 Urias said to David: The ark of God and Israel and Juda dwell in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord abide upon the face of the earth: and shall I go into my house, to eat and to drink, and to sleep with my wife? By thy welfare and by the welfare of thy soul I will not do this 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.
Then David said to Urias: Tarry here today, and tomorrow I will send thee away. Urias tarried in Jerusalem that day and the next.
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 David called him to eat and to drink before him, and he made him drunk: and he went out in the evening, and slept on his couch with the servants of his lord, and went not down into his house.
14 Da safe Dawuda ya rubuta wa Yowab wasiƙa ya ba wa Uriya.
And when the morning was come, David wrote a letter to Joab: and sent it by the hand of Urias,
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.”
Writing in the letter: Set ye Urias in the front of the battle, where the fight is strongest: and leave ye him, that he may be wounded and die.
16 Saboda haka yayinda Yowab ya kai yaƙi kusa da birnin, sai tura Uriya a inda ya sani akwai jarumawan Ammon na gaske.
Wherefore as Joab was besieging the city, he put Urias in the place where he knew the bravest men 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 coming out of the city, fought against Joab, and there fell some of the people of the servants of David, and Urias the Hethite was killed also.
18 Yowab ya aika wa Dawuda cikakken labari batun yaƙin.
Then Joab sent, and told David all things concerning the battle.
19 Ya umarci manzon ya ce, “Da ka gama yin wa sarki wannan batun yaƙin,
And he charged the messenger, saying: When thou hast told all the words of the battle to the king,
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 thou see him to be angry, and he shall say: Why did you approach so near to the wall to fight? knew you not that many darts are thrown from above off 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 killed Abimelech the son of Jerobaal? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, and slew him in Thebes? Why did you go near the wall? Thou shalt say: Thy servant Urias the Hethite is also slain.
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 messenger departed, and came and told David all that Joab had commanded him.
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 messenger said to David: The men prevailed against us, and they came out to us into the field: and we vigorously charged and pursued them even to the gate of the city.
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 shot their arrows at thy servants from off the wall above: and some of the king’s servants are slain, and thy servant Urias the Hethite is also dead.
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.”
And David said to the messenger: Thus shalt thou say to Joab: Let not this thing discourage thee: for various is the event of war: and sometimes one, sometimes another is consumed by the sword: encourage thy warriors against The city, and exhort them that thou mayest overthrow it.
26 Da matar Uriya ta ji cewa mijinta ya mutu, sai ta yi makoki saboda shi.
And the wife of Urias heard that Urias her husband was dead, and she mourned 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 the mourning being over, David sent and brought her into his house, and she became his wife, and she bore him a son: and this thing which David had done, was displeasing to the Lord.
