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 YHWH sends Nathan to David, and he comes to him, and says to him: “Two men have been in one city, one rich and one poor.
2 Mai arzikin yana da babban garken tumaki, da kuma shanu,
The rich has 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 one has nothing, except one little ewe-lamb which he has bought and keeps alive. And it grows up together with him and with his sons. It eats of his morsel, and it drinks from his cup, and it lies in his bosom, and it is as a daughter to him.
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 traveler comes to the rich man, and he spares to take from his own flock, and from his own herd, to prepare for the traveling [man] who has come to him; and he takes the ewe-lamb of the poor man and prepares it for the man who has come 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 the anger of David burns against the man exceedingly, and he says to Nathan, “YHWH lives, surely the man who is doing this [is] a son of death,
6 Dole yă biya diyyar tunkiyan nan sau huɗu, domin ya aikata haka ba tausayi.”
and [for] the ewe-lamb he repays fourfold, because that he has done this thing, and because that 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 says to David, “You [are] the man! Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: I anointed you for king over Israel, and I delivered you 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 give to you the house of your lord, and the wives of your lord, into your bosom, and I give the house of Israel and Judah to you; and if [that is] too little, then I add such and such [things] to you.
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 despised the word of YHWH, to do evil in His eyes? You have struck Uriah the Hittite by the sword, and you have taken his wife for a wife for yourself, and you have slain him by 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.’
And now, the sword does not turn aside from your house for all time, because you have despised Me, and take the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be for a wife for yourself;
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 said YHWH: Behold, I am raising up calamity against you, out of your [own] house, and have taken your wives before your eyes, and given [them] to your neighbor, and he has lain with your wives before the eyes of this sun;
12 Ka aikata wannan a ɓoye, amma zan aikata wannan da rana tsaka, a gaban dukan Isra’ila.’”
for you have done [it] in secret, and I 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 says to Nathan, “I have sinned against YHWH.” And Nathan says to David, “Also—YHWH has caused your sin to pass away; you do 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 caused the enemies of YHWH to greatly despise by this thing, also—the son who is born to you surely dies.”
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 goes to his house, and YHWH strikes the boy, whom the wife of Uriah has borne to David, and it is incurable;
16 Dawuda ya roƙi Allah saboda yaron. Ya yi azumi, ya kuma shiga gidansa ya kwana kwance a ƙasa.
and David seeks God for the youth, and David keeps a fast, and has gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth.
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] elderly of his house rise against him, to raise him up from the earth, and he has not been willing, nor has he eaten 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 comes to pass on the seventh day, that the boy dies, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that the boy is dead, for they said, “Behold, in the boy being alive we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice; and how do we say to him, The boy is dead? Then he has done evil.”
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 sees that his servants are whispering, and David understands that the boy is dead, and David says to his servants, “Is the boy dead?” And they say, “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.
And David rises from the earth, and bathes and anoints [himself], and changes his raiment, and comes into the house of YHWH, and bows himself, and comes to his house, and asks and they place bread for him, and he eats.
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 say to him, “What [is] this thing you have done? Because of the living boy you have fasted and you weep, and when the boy is dead you have risen and eat 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 says, “While the boy is alive I have fasted and I weep, for I said, Who knows [if] YHWH pities me and the boy has lived?
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.”
And now, he has died, why [is] this—I fast? Am I able to bring him back again? I am going to him, and he does 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 comforts his wife Bathsheba, and goes in to her, and lies with her, and she bears a son, and he calls his name Solomon; and YHWH has loved him,
25 kuma saboda Ubangiji ya ƙaunace shi, sai ya aika da saƙo ta wurin annabi Natan yă ba shi suna Yedidiya.
and sends by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and calls his name Jedidiah, because of YHWH.
26 Ana cikin haka, sai Yowab ya yi yaƙi da Rabba na Ammonawa, ya kuma ƙwace babban birnin.
And Joab fights against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and captures 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 sends messengers to David and says, “I have fought against Rabbah—I have also captured 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, and capture it, lest I capture the city, and my name has been called on it.”
29 Saboda haka Dawuda ya tattara sauran rundunar sojojin suka tafi Rabba suka fāɗa masa suka kuma ci shi.
And David gathers all the people, and goes to Rabbah, and fights against it, and captures 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 takes the crown of their king from off his head, and its weight [is] a talent of gold, and precious stones, and it is on the head of David; and he has brought out the spoil of the city—very 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 has brought out the people who [are] in it, and sets [them] to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes of iron, and has caused them to pass over into the brick-kiln; and so he does to all the cities of the sons of Ammon; and David turns back, and all the people, to Jerusalem.
