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.
So YHWH sent Nathan to David. And he came to him, and said to him, "Tell me how you judge this case. There were two men in a certain city, the one rich and the other poor.
2 Mai arzikin yana da babban garken tumaki, da kuma shanu,
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 nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had acquired. And he raised it and it grew up alongside him and his children. It used to eat of his morsel and drink from his cup and sleep in his arms, and it was like 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.”
Now a traveler came to the rich man, but he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd to prepare for the traveler who had come to him, but took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the man who had 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!
Then David became very angry with that man, and he said to Nathan, "As YHWH lives, the man who has done this deserves death.
6 Dole yă biya diyyar tunkiyan nan sau huɗu, domin ya aikata haka ba tausayi.”
He must 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.
Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man. This is what YHWH, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you 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.
I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your care, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more 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 you despised YHWH, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hethite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the people 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 will never depart from your house, because you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hethite 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.
"This is what YHWH says: 'Look, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes, and give them to your neighbor, and he will 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 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.
David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against YHWH." Nathan said to David, "YHWH also has put away your sin. You will 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 you have shown utter contempt for YHWH, the child also who 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.
Then Nathan went to his home. And God 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.
Then David sought from God on behalf of the child. And David fasted, and went in and lay all night on 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 approached him to lift him up from the ground, but he was unwilling, and he would not eat food 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.”
It happened on the seventh day, that the child died. The servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, "Look, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him, and he did not listen to our voice. How will he then harm 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 noticed that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, "Is the child dead?" 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 ground, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the house of YHWH, and worshiped. Then he went to his own house, and he asked 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!”
Then his servants said to him, "What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept and kept vigil for the child while he was alive; but when the child was dead, you rose up 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.’
He said, "While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, 'Who knows whether YHWH 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? 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;
David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. YHWH 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 named him Jedidiah, for YHWH'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 people 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.
Joab sent messengers to David, and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, and have also taken the water supply of the city.
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 besiege the city and capture it yourself, or I will capture the city, and it will be named after me."
29 Saboda haka Dawuda ya tattara sauran rundunar sojojin suka tafi Rabba suka fāɗa masa suka kuma ci shi.
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.
He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David's head. He brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
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.
He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work with saws, and iron picks, and iron axes, and to labor at the brick kiln. And he did the same to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
