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 same season of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of 'Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David remained behind 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.
And it happened at evening-tide, that David arose from off his couch, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and he saw from the roof a woman bathing herself; and the woman was of a very beautiful appearance.
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 and inquired after the woman; and some one said, Behold, this is Beth-sheba', the daughter of Eli'am, the wife of Uriyah 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 messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her, and she had just purified herself from her uncleanness; and she returned unto her house.
5 Matar ta yi ciki, ta kuwa aika wa Dawuda, tana cewa, “Ina da ciki.”
And the woman conceived; and she sent and told David, and said, I am 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, Send unto me Uriyah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriyah 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 Uriyah was come unto him, David asked after the well-being of Joab, and after the well-being of the people, and how the war prospered.
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 Uriyah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriyah went forth out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of food from the king.
9 Amma Uriya ya kwanta a ƙofar fada tare da dukan bayin maigidansa, bai kuwa tafi gidansa ba.
But Uriyah laid himself down at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not 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 they told David, saying, Uriyah is not gone down unto his house: and David said unto Uriyah, Art thou not come from a journey? why then art thou not gone down unto thy own 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!”
Then said Uriyah unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah abide in booths; and my Lord Joab and the servants of my Lord are encamped in the open field: and should I alone go unto my house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, 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.
And David said unto Uriyah, Tarry here also this day, and tomorrow will I send thee off. So Uriyah remained in Jerusalem on that day and the following.
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 invited him, and he ate and drank before him, and he made him drunken; and he went out in the evening to lie down on his resting-place with the servants of his lord; but to his house he did not go down.
14 Da safe Dawuda ya rubuta wa Yowab wasiƙa ya ba wa Uriya.
And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriyah.
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 he wrote in the letter, saying, Set Uriyah in front, opposite to the hottest fight, and then withdraw from behind him, that he may be smitten 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.
And it came to pass, when Joab was enclosing the city, that he placed Uriyah toward the spot of which he knew that valiant men were there.
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 city went out and fought with Joab; and there fell some of the people, of the servants of David, and there died also Uriyah the Hittite.
18 Yowab ya aika wa Dawuda cikakken labari batun yaƙin.
Then did Joab send, and told unto David all the events of the war.
19 Ya umarci manzon ya ce, “Da ka gama yin wa sarki wannan batun yaƙin,
And he charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast finished telling all the events of the war 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?
And it happen that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore did you approach unto the city to fight? knew ye not, that they would shoot down from 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 smote Abimelech the son of Yerubbesheth? did not a woman throw down upon him a piece of an upper mill-stone from off the wall so that he died at Thebez? why did ye approach unto the wall? then must thou say, Also thy servant Uriyah the Hittite is 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.
And the messenger went, and came and told unto David all for which Joab had sent 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 unto David, Because the men overpowered us and came out against us into the field; but we set upon them, as far as the entrance of the gate.
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 then shot at thy servants from off the wall; and there died some of the servants of the king, and also thy servant Uriyah the Hittite is 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.”
Then said David to the messenger, Thus shalt thou say to Joab, Let this thing not be displeasing in thy eyes; for at times this, at other times the other will the sword devour; continue firmly in thy war against the city, and overthrow it: and thus do thou encourage him.
26 Da matar Uriya ta ji cewa mijinta ya mutu, sai ta yi makoki saboda shi.
And when the wife of Uriyah heard that Uriyah her husband had died, she mourned for her lord.
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 [time of] mourning was past, David sent and took her to his house, and she became his wife; and she bore him a son. But the thing which David had done was displeasing in the eyes of the Lord.
