< 2 Sama’ila 13 >
1 Ana nan sai Amnon ɗan Dawuda ya fara son Tamar, kyakkyawar’yar’uwar Absalom ɗan Dawuda.
And it happened after this that Abessalom the son of David had a very beautiful sister, and her name [was] Themar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2 Amnon ya matsu ƙwarai har abin ya sa shi ciwo saboda ƙanuwarsa Tamar. Ya gane zai zama da wuya yă sadu da Tamar ita kaɗai, gama ba ta taɓa kwana da namiji ba.
And Amnon was distressed even to sickness, because of Themar his sister; for she was a virgin, and it seemed very difficult for Amnon to do anything to her.
3 To, Amnon yana da wani aboki mai suna Yonadab, ɗan Shimeya, ɗan’uwan Dawuda. Yonadab dai mai wayo ne ƙwarai.
And Amnon had a friend, and his name [was] Jonadab, the son of Samaa the brother of David: and Jonadab [was] a very cunning man.
4 Ya tambayi Amnon ya ce, “Don me kowace safiya fuskarka a ɓace take? Kai ba yaron sarki ba ne? Faɗa mini, me ke faruwa?” Amnon ya ce masa, “Ina son Tamar ƙanuwar wan nawa Absalom ne.”
And he said to him, What ails thee that thou art thus weak? O son of the king, morning by morning? wilt thou not tell me? and Ammon said, I love Themar the sister of my brother Abessalom.
5 Yonadab ya ce, “Je gado ka kwanta kamar ba ka da lafiya. Sa’ad da mahaifinka ya zo ganinka, sai ka ce masa, ‘Ina so ƙanuwata Tamar tă kawo mini wani abu in ci. Bari tă shirya abincin a gabana don in ganta, in kuma ci daga hannunta.’”
And Jonadab said to him, Lie upon thy bed, and make thyself sick, and thy father shall come in to see thee; and thou shalt say to him, Let, I pray thee, Themar my sister come, and feed me with morsels, and let her prepare food before my eyes, that I may see and eat at her hands.
6 Sai Amnon ya kwanta sai ka ce yana ciwo. Da sarki ya zo don ganinsa, sai Amnon ya ce, “Zan so ƙanuwata Tamar tă zo tă shirya mini abinci a gabana, don in ci daga hannunta.”
So Ammon lay down, and made himself sick; and the king came in to see him: and Amnon said to the king, Let, I pray thee, my sister Themar come to me, and make a couple of cakes in my sight, and I will eat them at her hand.
7 Dawuda kuwa ya aika wa Tamar a fada, ya ce, “Ki je gidan Amnon ɗan’uwanki, ki yi masa abinci.”
And David sent to Themar to the house, saying, Go now to thy brother's house, and dress him food.
8 Saboda haka Tamar ta tafi gidan ɗan’uwanta Amnon, wanda yake kwance. Ta ɗauki fulawa, ta kwaɓa, ta yi burodi a gabansa ta toya shi.
And Themar went to the house of her brother Amnon, and he [was] lying down: and she took the dough and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and baked the cakes.
9 Sa’an nan ta juye a kasko ta ba shi burodin, amma ya ƙi ci. Amnon ya ce, “A sa kowa yă fita daga nan.” Saboda haka kowa ya fita ya bar shi.
And she took the frying pan and poured them out before him, but he would not eat. And Amnon said, Send out every man from about me. And they removed every man from about him.
10 Sa’an nan Amnon ya ce wa Tamar, “Kawo abincin a nan a cikin ɗakin kwanciyata, don in ci daga hannunki.” Tamar kuwa ta ɗauki burodin da ta toya, ta kawo wa ɗan’uwanta Amnon a ciki ɗakin kwanciyarsa.
And Amnon said to Themar, Bring in the food into the closet, and I will eat of thy hand. And Themar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them to her brother Amnon into the chamber.
11 Amma da ta kai masa don yă ci, sai ya cafke ta ya ce, “Zo in kwana da ke,’yar’uwata.”
And she brought [them] to him to eat, and he caught hold of her, and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.
12 Ta ce, “Kada ka yi wannan ɗan’uwana! Kada ka tilasta ni. Bai kamata a yi irin wannan abu a Isra’ila ba! Kada ka yi wannan mugun abu.
And she said to him, Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it ought not to be so done in Israel; do not this folly.
13 Ni fa, ina zan sa kaina saboda kunya? Kai kuma za ka zama kamar wani mugun wawa a Isra’ila. Ina roƙonka ka yi wa sarki magana; ba zai hana ni aurenka ba.”
And I, whither shall I remove my reproach? and thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. And now, speak, I pray thee, to the king, for surely he will not keep me from thee.
14 Amma Amnon ya ƙi yă saurare ta, da yake ya fi ta ƙarfi, sai ya yi mata fyaɗe.
But Amnon would not hearken to her voice; and he prevailed against her, and humbled her, and lay with her.
15 Bayan ya yi lalata da ita sai Amnon ya ƙi ta da mummunan ƙiyayya. Zahiri ya ƙi ta fiye da ya ƙaunace ta. Sai Amnon ya ce mata, “Tashi, ki fita!”
Then Amnon hated her with very great hatred; for the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her, for the last wickedness was greater than the first: and Amnon said to her, Rise, and be gone.
16 Ta ce, “A’a! Korina zai fi muni da abin da ka riga ka yi mini.” Amma ya ƙi yă saurare ta.
And Themar spoke to him concerning this great mischief, greater, [said she], than the other that thou didst me, to send me away: but Amnon would not hearken to her voice.
17 Sai ya kira bawansa ya ce, “Fitar da matan nan daga nan, ka rufe ƙofa.”
And he called his servant who had charge of the house, and said to him, Put now this [woman] out from me, and shut the door after her.
18 Saboda haka bawansa ya fitar da ita, ya kuma sa aka rufe ƙofa. Tana sanye da doguwar riga mai kayan ado masu tsada, gama wannan ne irin kayan da budurwai’ya’yan sarki mata suke sawa.
And she had on her a variegated robe, for so were the king's daughters that were virgins attired in their apparel: and his servant led her forth, and shut the door after her.
19 Sai Tamar ta zuba toka a kanta, ta kuma yayyage doguwar riga mai kayan adon da take sanye da shi. Ta sa hannunta a kai, ta tafi tana kuka da ƙarfi.
And Themar took ashes, and put them on her head; and she rent the variegated garment that was upon her: and she laid her hands on her head, and went crying continually.
20 Absalom ɗan’uwanta ya ce mata, “Amnon, ɗan’uwanki ya ɓata ki ko? To, ki yi shiru’yar’uwata; ai, ɗan’uwanki ne. Kada wannan abu yă dame ki.” Tamar kuwa ta zauna a gidan ɗan’uwanta Absalom, zaman kaɗaici.
And Abessalom her brother said to her, Has thy brother Amnon been with thee? now then, my sister, be silent, for he is thy brother: be not careful to mention this matter. So Themar dwelt as a widow in the house of her brother Abessalom.
21 Da Sarki Dawuda ya ji dukan abin da ya faru, sai ya husata ƙwarai.
And king David heard of all these things, and was very angry; but he did not grieve the spirit of his son Amnon, because be loved him, for he was his first-born.
22 Absalom kuwa bai yi wa Amnon wata magana ta alheri ko ta mugunta ba; ya ƙi jinin Amnon domin ya ci mutuncin ƙanuwarsa Tamar.
And Abessalom spoke not to Amnon, good or bad, because Abessalom hated Amnon, on account of his humbling his sister Themar.
23 Bayan shekaru biyu, sa’ad da masu askin tumakin Absalom suna Ba’al-Hazor, kusa da iyakar Efraim, sai ya gayyaci dukan’ya’yan sarki maza a can.
And it came to pass at the end of two whole years, that they were shearing [sheep] for Abessalom in Belasor near Ephraim: and Abessalom invited all the king's sons.
24 Sai Absalom ya je wurin sarki ya ce, “Bawanka ya sa masu askin tumaki sun zo. Ko sarki da fadawansa za su zo tare da ni?”
And Abessalom came to the king, and said, Behold, thy servant has a sheep-shearing; let now the king and his servants go with thy servant.
25 Sarki ya ce, “A’a ɗana, bai kamata dukanmu mu tafi ba; don kada nauyi yă yi maka yawa.” Absalom dai ya dāge, duk da haka sarki ya ƙi yă je, sai dai ya albarkace shi.
And the king said to Abessalom, Nay, my son, let us not all go, and let us not be burdensome to thee. And he pressed him; but he would not go, but blessed him.
26 Sa’an nan Absalom ya ce, to, “In ba za ka ba, ina roƙonka bari Amnon ɗan’uwana yă zo tare da mu.” Sarki ya ce masa, “Don me zai tafi tare da kai?”
And Abessalom said to him, And if not, let I pray thee, my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Why should he go with thee?
27 Amma Absalom ya nace don sarki yă yarda, saboda haka sarki ya bar Amnon da sauran’ya’yan sarki maza su tafi tare da shi.
And Abessalom pressed him, and he sent with him Amnon and all the king's sons; and Abessalom made a banquet like the banquet of the king.
28 Absalom ya umarci mutanensa ya ce, “Ku saurara! Sa’ad da Amnon ya bugu sosai da giya na kuma ce muku, ‘Ku bugi Amnon,’ sai ku kashe shi. Kada ku ji tsoro. Ashe, ba ni ne na ba ku wannan umarni ba? Ku yi ƙarfin hali, ku kuma yi jaruntaka.”
And Abessalom charged his servants, saying, Mark when the heart of Amnon shall be merry with wine, and I shall say to you, Smite Amnon, and slay him: fear not; for is it not I that command you? Be courageous, and be valiant.
29 Saboda haka mutanen Absalom suka yi wa Amnon abin da Absalom ya umarta. Sai dukan sauran’ya’yan sarki maza suka hau dawakansu suka gudu.
And the servants of Abessalom did to Amnon as Abessalom commanded them: and all the sons of the king rose up, and they mounted every man his mule, and fled.
30 Yayinda suke kan hanyarsu, sai labari ya kai kunnen Dawuda cewa, “Absalom ya kashe dukan’ya’yan sarki maza; ko ɗayansu Absalom bai rage ba.”
And it came to pass, when they were in the way, that a report came to David, saying, Abessalom has slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
31 Sai sarki ya tashi, ya yage tufafinsa, ya kuma kwanta a ƙasa; dukan bayinsa kuwa suka tsaya da rigunansu yagaggu.
Then the king arose, and rent his garments, and lay upon the ground: and all his servants that were standing round him rent their garments.
32 Amma Yonadab, ɗan Shimeya ɗan’uwan Dawuda ya ce, “Kada ranka yă daɗe yă yi tunani cewa an kashe dukan’ya’yan sarki maza; Amnon ne kaɗai ya mutu. Wannan ce niyyar Absalom tun lokacin da Amnon ya yi wa Tamar’yar’uwansa fyaɗe.
And Jonadab the son of Samaa brother of David, answered and said, Let not my Lord the king say that he has slain all the young men the sons of the king, for Amnon only of them all is dead; for he was appointed [to death] by the mouth of Abessalom from the day that he humbled his sister Themar.
33 Kada mai girma sarki yă damu da jita-jitan nan cewa an kashe dukan’ya’yan sarki maza. Amnon ne kaɗai ya mutu.”
And now let not my lord the king take the matter to heart, saying, All the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only of them is dead.
34 Ana cikin haka, sai Absalom ya gudu. To, mutumin da yake tsaro a wannan lokaci ya ɗaga kai sai ya ga mutane da yawa a hanya, yamma da shi, suna gangarowa daga gefen tudu. Sai mai tsaron ya je ya gaya wa sarki cewa, “Na ga mutane ta wajen Horonayim, a gefen tudu.”
And Abessalom escaped: and the young man the watchman, lifted up his eyes, and looked; and, behold, much people went in the way behind him from the side of the mountain in the descent: and the watchman came and told the king, and said, I have seen men by the way of Oronen, by the side of the mountain.
35 Yonadab ya ce wa Sarki, “Duba, ga’ya’yan sarki maza sun zo; ya faru kamar dai yadda bawanka ya faɗa.”
And Jonadab said to the king, Behold, the king's sons are present: according to the word of thy servant, so has it happened.
36 Yana gama magana, sai ga’ya’yan sarki maza suka shigo suna kuka da ƙarfi. Sarki ma da dukan bayinsa suka yi kuka mai zafi.
And it came to pass when he had finished speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voices and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept with a very great weeping.
37 Absalom ya gudu ya tafi wurin Talmai ɗan Ammihud, sarkin Geshur. Amma Sarki Dawuda ya yi ta makokin ɗansa kowace rana.
But Abessalom fled, and went to Tholmi son of Emiud the king of Gedsur to the land of Chamaachad: and king David mourned for his son continually.
38 Bayan Absalom ya gudu sai ya je wurin Geshur, ya zauna a can shekara uku.
So Abessalom fled, and departed to Gedsur, and was there three years.
39 Sai zuciyar sarki Dawuda ya komo kan Absalom, gama an yi masa ta’aziyya game da mutuwar Amnon.
And king David ceased to go out after Abessalom, for he was comforted concerning Amnon, touching his death.
