< 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 the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.
2 Mai arzikin yana da babban garken tumaki, da kuma shanu,
And the rich [man] had very 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] only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; an it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept 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 a traveller came to the rich man, and he spared to take of his flocks and of his herds, to dress for the traveller that came to him; and he took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that 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 was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, [As] the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.
6 Dole yă biya diyyar tunkiyan nan sau huɗu, domin ya aikata haka ba tausayi.”
And he shall restore the lamb sevenfold, because he has not spared.
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, You are the man that has done this. Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I anointed you to be king over Israel, and I rescued you out 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 you the house of your lord, and the wives of your lord into your bosom, and I gave to you the house of Israel and Juda; and if that had been little, I would have given you yet more.
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 you set at nothing the word of the Lord, to do that which is evil in his eyes? you have slain Urias the Chettite with the sword, and you have taken his wife to be your wife, and you have slain him with the sword of the children 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 not depart from your house for ever, because you has set me at nothing, and you have taken the wife of Urias the Chettite, to be your 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 the Lord, Behold, I will raise up against you evil out of your house, and I will take your wives before your eyes, and will give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your 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 you did it secretly, but I will do this thing in the sight of 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 the Lord. And Nathan said to David, And the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die.
14 Amma saboda ka yi haka ka sa abokan gāba suka rena Ubangiji, yaron da aka haifa maka zai mutu.”
Only because you have given great occasion of provocation to the enemies of the Lord by this thing, your son also that is born to you 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 the Lord struck the child, which the wife of Urias the Chettite bore to David, and it was ill.
16 Dawuda ya roƙi Allah saboda yaron. Ya yi azumi, ya kuma shiga gidansa ya kwana kwance a ƙasa.
And David enquired of God concerning 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 went] to him to raise him up from the ground, but he would not [rise], nor 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 were afraid to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive we spoke to him, and he listened not to our voice; and you should we tell him that the child is dead?—so would he do [himself] harm.
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.”
And David understood that his servants were whispering, and 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 rose up from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his raiment, and went into the house of God, and worshipped him; and went into his own house, and called for bread to eat, and 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!”
And his servants said to him, What [is] this thing that you have done concerning the child? while it was yet living you did fast, and weep, and watch: and when the child was dead you did rise up, and did eat bread, and drink.
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 David said, While the child yet lived, I fasted and wept; for I said, Who knows if the Lord will pity me, and the child 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 it is dead, why should I fast thus? shall I be able to bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall 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 Bersabee his wife, and he went in to her, and lay with her; and she conceived and bore a son, and he called his named Solomon, and the Lord 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 called his name Jeddedi, for the Lord's sake.
26 Ana cikin haka, sai Yowab ya yi yaƙi da Rabba na Ammonawa, ya kuma ƙwace babban birnin.
And Joab fought against Rabbath of the children 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 Rabbath, and 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.”
And now gather the rest of the people, and encamp against the city, an take it beforehand; lest I take the city first, and my name be called upon it.
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, and went to Rabbath, 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 Molchom their king from off his head, and the weight of it was a talent of gold, with precious stones, and it was upon the head of David; and he carried forth very much spoil of the city.
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 the saw, and under iron harrows, and axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus he did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
