2 Sama’ila 12
1 Ubangiji ya aiki Natan wurin Dawuda. Da ya tafi wajensa, sai ya ce, “An yi waɗansu mutum biyu a wani gari, ɗaya mai arziki, ɗayan kuma matalauci.
And Jehovah sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Mai arzikin yana da babban garken tumaki, da kuma shanu,
The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds,
3 amma matalauci ba shi da kome sai’yar tunkiyar da ya sayo. Ya yi kiwonta, ta kuwa yi girma tare shi da yaransa. Takan ci tare da shi ta sha ruwa a kwaf nasa, har ma ta kwanta a ƙirjinsa. Ta ma zama kamar’ya a gare shi.
but the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up. And it grew up together with him, and with his sons. It ate of his own morsel, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.
4 “To, sai ga wani baƙo ya zo wurin mai arzikin nan, amma mai arzikin ya ƙi yă kama tunkiyarsa, ko saniyarsa yă yanka don yă shirya wa baƙon da ya zo abinci. A maimako, sai ya je ya kama’yar tunkiyan nan ta matalaucin ya yanka ya shirya wa mutumin da ya zo masa.”
And there came a traveler to the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd to dress for the wayfaring man who came to him, but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man who came to him.
5 Dawuda ya husata ƙwarai da mutumin, ya ce wa Natan, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, mutumin da ya yi wannan ya cancanci yă mutu!
And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man, and he said to Nathan, As Jehovah lives, the man who has done this is worthy to die.
6 Dole yă biya diyyar tunkiyan nan sau huɗu, domin ya aikata haka ba tausayi.”
And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
7 Sai Natan ya ce wa Dawuda, “Kai ne mutumin! Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah ya ce, ‘Na naɗa ka sarki bisa Isra’ila, na kuma cece ka daga hannun Shawulu.
And Nathan said to David, Thou are the man. Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul.
8 Na ba ka gidan maigidanka, da matan maigidanka duka. Na ba ka gidan Isra’ila da Yahuda. Da a ce dukan waɗannan sun kāsa maka, ai, da na ƙara maka.
And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah. And if that had been too little, I would have added to thee such and such things.
9 Me ya sa ka rena maganar Ubangiji ta wurin yin mugunta haka a idonsa? Ka kashe Uriya mutumin Hitti da takobi, ka kuma ɗauki matarsa tă zama matarka. Ka kashe shi da takobin Ammonawa.
Why have thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do that which is evil in his sight? Thou have smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be thy wife, and have slain him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
10 To, fa, takobi ba zai taɓa rabu da gidanka ba, domin ka rena ni, ka kuma ƙwace matar Uriya mutumin Hitti ta zama matarka.’
Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thy house, because thou have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 “Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa, ‘Daga cikin iyalinka zan kawo masifa a kanka. A idanunka zan ɗauki matanka in ba wa wani da yake kusa da kai, zai kuwa kwana da su da rana tsaka.
Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house. And I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them to thy neighbor, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 Ka aikata wannan a ɓoye, amma zan aikata wannan da rana tsaka, a gaban dukan Isra’ila.’”
For thou did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 Sai Dawuda ya ce wa Natan, “Na yi wa Ubangiji zunubi.” Natan ya ce, “Ubangiji ya yafe maka zunubin. Ba za ka mutu ba.
And David said to Nathan, I have sinned against Jehovah. And Nathan said to David, Jehovah also has put away thy sin; thou shall not die.
14 Amma saboda ka yi haka ka sa abokan gāba suka rena Ubangiji, yaron da aka haifa maka zai mutu.”
However, because by this deed thou have given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, the child also that is born to thee shall surely die.
15 Bayan Natan ya tafi gida, sai Ubangiji ya bugi yaron da matar Uriya ta haifa wa Dawuda, ya kuwa kamu da ciwo.
And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah struck the child that Uriah's wife bore to David, and it was very sick.
16 Dawuda ya roƙi Allah saboda yaron. Ya yi azumi, ya kuma shiga gidansa ya kwana kwance a ƙasa.
David therefore besought God for the child. And David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the ground.
17 Dattawan iyalinsa suka tsaya kusa da shi don su ɗaga shi daga ƙasa, amma ya ƙi, bai kuwa ci wani abu tare da su ba.
And the elders of his house arose, and stood beside him, to raise him up from the ground, but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18 A rana ta bakwai sai yaron ya rasu. Barorin Dawuda suka ji tsoro su gaya masa cewa yaron ya mutu, gama sun yi tunani cewa, “Yayinda yaron yake da rai, mun yi magana da Dawuda bai ji mu ba. Yaya za mu gaya masa yaron ya mutu? Ai, zai yi wa kansa ɓarna.”
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he did not hearken to our voice, how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!
19 Dawuda ya gane bayinsa suna wa juna raɗan wani abu, sai ya gane yaron ya mutu. Sai ya ce, “Yaron ya rasu ko?” Suka ce, “I, ya rasu.”
But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead. And David said to his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya tashi daga ƙasa. Bayan ya yi wanka, ya shafa mai, ya kuma canja rigunarsa, sa’an nan ya shiga gidan Ubangiji ya yi sujada. Sai ya tafi gidansa, ya nemi a ba shi abinci, aka ba shi, ya kuwa ci.
Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel. And he came into the house of Jehovah, and worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and when he required, they set bread before him, and he ate.
21 Barorinsa suka ce masa, “Me ya sa kake yin haka? Yayinda yaron yake da rai, ka yi azumi, ka kuma yi kuka, amma yanzu da yaron ya mutu, ka tashi, ka kuma ci abinci!”
Then his servants said to him, What thing is this that thou have done? Thou fasted and wept for the child while it was alive, but when the child was dead, thou arose and ate bread.
22 Ya ce musu, “Yayinda yaron yake da rai, na yi azumi, na kuma yi kuka. Na yi tunani na ce, ‘Wa ya sani? Ko Ubangiji zai yi mini alheri yă bar yaron yă rayu.’
And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept. For I said, Who knows whether Jehovah will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 Amma yanzu da ya mutu, me zai sa in yi azumi? Zan iya dawo da shi ne? Ni zan je wajensa, ba shi zai dawo wurina ba.”
But now he is dead; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.
24 Sai Dawuda ya yi wa matarsa Batsheba ta’aziyya, ya kuma tafi wurinta ya kwana da ita. Ta kuma haifi ɗa, suka ba shi suna Solomon. Ubangiji ya ƙaunace shi;
And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. And Jehovah loved him,
25 kuma saboda Ubangiji ya ƙaunace shi, sai ya aika da saƙo ta wurin annabi Natan yă ba shi suna Yedidiya.
and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet. And he called his name Jedidiah, for Jehovah's sake.
26 Ana cikin haka, sai Yowab ya yi yaƙi da Rabba na Ammonawa, ya kuma ƙwace babban birnin.
Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and took the royal city.
27 Sa’an nan Yowab ya aika manzanni wurin Dawuda yana cewa, “Na yaƙi Rabba na kuma ƙwace hanyar samun ruwanta.
And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah; yea, I have taken the city of waters.
28 Yanzu fa ka tattara saura rundunoni ka fāɗa wa birnin ka ci shi. In ba haka ba zan karɓe birnin, a kuma kira shi da sunana.”
Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it, lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
29 Saboda haka Dawuda ya tattara sauran rundunar sojojin suka tafi Rabba suka fāɗa masa suka kuma ci shi.
And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
30 Ya ɗauke rawanin daga kan sarkinsu, nauyinsa ya kai talenti, na zinariya, an kuma yi masa ado da duwatsu masu daraja, aka aza shi a kan Dawuda. Ya kuma kwashe ganima mai yawa daga garin.
And he took the crown of their king from off his head. And the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones. And it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceedingly much.
31 Ya fito da mutanen da suke a can, ya sa su su yi aiki da zarto, da diga, da kuma gatari, ya kuma sa su bugan bulok. Haka ya yi wa dukan garuruwan Ammonawa. Sa’an nan Dawuda da dukan sojoji suka koma Urushalima.
And he brought forth the people that were in it, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln. And thus he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
