< 2 Sama’ila 13 >
1 Ana nan sai Amnon ɗan Dawuda ya fara son Tamar, kyakkyawar’yar’uwar Absalom ɗan Dawuda.
And it cometh to pass afterwards that Absalom son of David hath a fair sister, and her name [is] Tamar, and Amnon son of David loveth 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 hath distress — even to become sick, because of Tamar his sister, for she [is] a virgin, and it is hard in the eyes of 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 hath a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of Shimeah, David's brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise 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 saith to him, 'Wherefore [art] thou thus lean, O king's son, morning by morning? dost thou not declare to me?' And Amnon saith to him, 'Tamar — sister of Absalom my brother — I am loving.'
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 saith to him, 'Lie down on thy couch, and feign thyself sick, and thy father hath come in to see thee, and thou hast said unto him, 'Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come in and give me bread to eat; and she hath made the food before mine eyes so that I see [it], and have eaten from her hand.'
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.”
And Amnon lieth down, and feigneth himself sick, and the king cometh in to see him, and Amnon saith unto the king, 'Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come, and she maketh before mine eyes two cakes, and I eat from 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 sendeth unto Tamar, to the house, saying, 'Go, I pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and make for 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 Tamar goeth to the house of Amnon her brother, and he is lying down, and she taketh the dough, and kneadeth, and maketh cakes before his eyes, and cooketh 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 taketh the frying-pan, and poureth out before him, and he refuseth to eat, and Amnon saith, 'Take ye out every one from me;' and they go out every one from 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 saith unto Tamar, 'Bring the food into the inner chamber, and I eat from thy hand;' and Tamar taketh the cakes that she hath made, and bringeth in to Amnon her brother, into the inner 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 bringeth nigh unto him to eat, and he layeth hold on her, and saith 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 saith to him, 'Nay, my brother, do not humble me, for it is not done so 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 do I cause my reproach to go? and thou — thou art as one of the fools in Israel; and now, speak, I pray thee, unto the king; for he doth not withhold me from thee.'
14 Amma Amnon ya ƙi yă saurare ta, da yake ya fi ta ƙarfi, sai ya yi mata fyaɗe.
And he hath not been willing to hearken to her voice, and is stronger than she, and humbleth her, and lieth 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!”
And Amnon hateth her — a very great hatred — that greater [is] the hatred with which he hath hated her than the love with which he loved her, and Amnon saith to her, 'Rise, go.'
16 Ta ce, “A’a! Korina zai fi muni da abin da ka riga ka yi mini.” Amma ya ƙi yă saurare ta.
And she saith to him, 'Because of the circumstances this evil is greater than the other that thou hast done with me — to send me away;' and he hath not been willing to hearken to her,
17 Sai ya kira bawansa ya ce, “Fitar da matan nan daga nan, ka rufe ƙofa.”
and calleth his young man, his servant, and saith, 'Send away, I pray thee, this one from me without, and bolt 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 upon her [is] a long coat, for such upper robes do daughters of the king who [are] virgins put on, — and his servant taketh her out without, and hath bolted 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 Tamar taketh ashes for her head, and the long coat that [is] on her she hath rent, and putteth her hand on her head, and goeth, going on and crying;
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 Absalom her brother saith unto her, 'Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? and now, my sister, keep silent, he [is] thy brother; set not thy heart to this thing;' and Tamar dwelleth — but desolate — in the house of Absalom her brother.
21 Da Sarki Dawuda ya ji dukan abin da ya faru, sai ya husata ƙwarai.
And king David hath heard all these things, and it is very displeasing to him;
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 Absalom hath not spoken with Amnon either evil or good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled Tamar his sister.
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 cometh to pass, after two years of days, that Absalom hath shearers in Baal-Hazor, which [is] with Ephraim, and Absalom calleth for all the sons of the king.
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 Absalom cometh unto the king, and saith, 'Lo, I pray thee, thy servant hath shearers, let the king go, I pray thee, and his servants, 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 saith unto Absalom, 'Nay, my son, let us not all go, I pray thee, and we are not too heavy on thee;' and he presseth on him, and he hath not been willing to go, and he blesseth 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 Absalom saith, 'If not — let, I pray thee, Amnon my brother go with us;' and the king saith to him, 'Why doth 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 Absalom urgeth on him, and he sendeth with him Amnon, and all the sons 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 Absalom commandeth his young men, saying, 'See, I pray thee, when the heart of Amnon [is] glad with wine, and I have said unto you, Smite Amnon, that ye have put him to death; fear not; is it not because I have commanded you? be strong, yea, become sons of valour.'
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 young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom commanded, and rise do all the sons of the king, and they ride, each on his mule, and flee.
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 cometh to pass — they [are] in the way — and the report hath come unto David, saying, 'Absalom hath smitten all the sons of the king, and there is not left of them one;'
31 Sai sarki ya tashi, ya yage tufafinsa, ya kuma kwanta a ƙasa; dukan bayinsa kuwa suka tsaya da rigunansu yagaggu.
and the king riseth, and rendeth his garments, and lieth on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] rent 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 son of Shimeah, David's brother, answereth and saith, 'Let not my lord say, The whole of the young men, the sons of the king, they have put to death; for Amnon alone [is] dead, for by the command of Absalom it hath been appointed from the day of his humbling Tamar his sister;
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 lay unto his heart the word, saying, All the sons of the king have died, for Amnon alone [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 Absalom fleeth, and the young man who is watching lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, much people are coming by the way behind him, on the side of the hill.
35 Yonadab ya ce wa Sarki, “Duba, ga’ya’yan sarki maza sun zo; ya faru kamar dai yadda bawanka ya faɗa.”
And Jonadab saith unto the king, 'Lo, the sons of the king have come; as the word of thy servant, so it hath been.'
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 cometh to pass at his finishing to speak, that lo, the sons of the king have come, and they lift up their voice, and weep, and also the king and all his servants have wept — 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.
And Absalom hath fled, and goeth unto Talmai, son of Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourneth for his son all the days.
38 Bayan Absalom ya gudu sai ya je wurin Geshur, ya zauna a can shekara uku.
And Absalom hath fled, and goeth to Geshur, and is there three years;
39 Sai zuciyar sarki Dawuda ya komo kan Absalom, gama an yi masa ta’aziyya game da mutuwar Amnon.
and [the soul of] king David determineth to go out unto Absalom, for he hath been comforted for Amnon, for [he is] dead.
