1 Yowab, ɗan Zeruhiya ya gane cewa zuriyar sarki ta koma ga Absalom.
UJowabi indodana kaZeruya wakwazi ukuthi inhliziyo yenkosi yayimkhumbula u-Abhisalomu.
2 Saboda haka Yowab ya aiki wani zuwa Tekowa, ya sa a zo da wata mace mai hikima. Ya ce mata, “Ki yi kamar kina makoki. Ki sa rigar makoki, kada kuwa ki shafa mai. Ki yi kamar macen da ta yi kwanaki da yawa, tana makokin matattu.
Ngakho uJowabi wathuma umuntu eThekhowa wayabuya khona lowesifazane ohlakaniphileyo. Wathi kuye, “Yenza angathi uyalila. Gqoka izigqoko zokulila. Ungagcobi amagcobo okubukeka. Yenza njengowesifazane oseqede insuku ezinengi elilela ofileyo.
3 Sa’an nan ki je wurin sarki, ki ce masa haka.” Sai Yowab ya faɗa mata duk abin da za tă faɗa.
Uye enkosini ukhulume amazwi la kuyo.” UJowabi wasemfunza lawomazwi.
4 Da macen da ta fito daga Tekowa ta je wajen sarki, sai ta rusuna har ƙasa don bangirma, sai ta ce, “Ka taimake ni, ya sarki!”
Kwathi owesifazane owavela eThekhowa esefikile enkosini wathi mbo phansi ngobuso eyihlonipha, wasesithi, “Ake ungisize, awu nkosi!”
5 Sarki ya ce mata, “Mece ce matsalarki?” Sai ta ce, “Tabbatacce, ni gwauruwa ce; mijina ya mutu.
Inkosi yambuza yathi, “Kuyini okukuhluphayo?” Yena wathi, “Ngingumfelokazi impela, umkami wafa.
6 Baiwarka tana da’ya’ya maza biyu. Suka yi faɗa da juna a fili, kuma ba wanda yake can don yă raba su. Ɗayan ya bugi ɗayan, ya kashe shi.
Mina ncekukazi yakho ngangilamadodana amabili. Alwa egangeni njalo akulamuntu owayelapho ukuba awalamule. Enye yatshaya enye yayibulala.
7 To, ga duk iyali sun hau kan baiwarka, suna cewa, ‘Ki ba mu ɗayan da ya kashe ɗan’uwansa mu kashe don ran ɗan’uwansa da ya kashe; sa’an nan za mu hallaka magājin shi ma.’ Za su kashe garwashin wuta mai ci da nake da shi kaɗai, su bar mijina ba suna, ba jika, a duniya.”
Manje-ke bonke abosendo sebevukele incekukazi yakho, bathi, ‘Sinike lowo owabulala umfowabo ukuze simbulale ngenxa yempilo yomfowabo ambulalayo; lapho-ke sizasusa lendlalifa futhi.’ Bazacitsha ilahle lami elivuthayo eliyilo lodwa engilalo eliseleyo, umkami asale engaselabizo loba inzalo ebusweni bomhlaba.”
8 Sarki ya ce wa macen, “Koma gida, zan ba da umarni a madadinki.”
Inkosi yasisithi kowesifazane lowo, “Buyela ekhaya, ngizakhupha umlayo ngimele wena.”
9 Amma macen da ta fito daga Tekowa ta ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, sarki! Bari alhakin shari’arka yă kasance a kaina da gidan mahaifina, kai sarki da gidan mulkinka, ba ku da laifi a ciki.”
Kodwa owesifazane waseThekhowa wathi kuyo, “Mhlekazi wami, nkosi, umlandu kawube kimi lakwabendlu kababa, kuthi inkosi lesihlalo sayo sobukhosi kungabi lacala.”
10 Sai sarki ya ce, “In wani ya yi miki magana, ki kawo shi wurina, ba zai kuwa ƙara damunki ba.”
Inkosi yaphendula yathi, “Nxa loba ngubani esitsho loba yini kuwe, mlethe kimi, njalo kasoze akuhluphe futhi.”
11 Sai ta ce, “To, bari sarki yă rantse da Ubangiji Allahnsa don yă hana mai ramako yin ƙarin hallakawar da aka yi, domin kada a hallaka ɗana.” Sai ya ce, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, babu gashi guda na ɗanki da zai fāɗi ƙasa.”
Wasesithi, “Inkosi kayincenge uThixo uNkulunkulu wayo ukuba avimbele umphindiseli wegazi ekwengezeleleni incithakalo, ukuze indodana yami ingabhujiswa.” Inkosi yathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uThixo ekhona, akukho lalunye unwele lwekhanda lendodana yakho oluzawela phansi.”
12 Sai matar ta ce, “Bari baiwarka ta ƙara yin magana sau ɗayan nan wa ranka yă daɗe.” Ya ce, “Ki faɗa.”
Lapho-ke owesifazane wasesithi, “Vumela incekukazi yakho ikhulume ilizwi enkosini yami.” Yathi, “Khuluma.”
13 Matar ta ce, “To, don me ka yi wa mutanen Allah irin wannan abu? Sa’ad da sarki ya ce haka, ashe, ba ka hukunta kanka ke nan ba, tun da yake sarki bai yarda ɗansa yă komo gida ba?
Owesifazane wasesithi, “Pho kungani ucebe into enje ngabantu bakaNkulunkulu na? Nxa inkosi isitsho lokhu kayizidlisi ngecala na, ngoba inkosi kayiyibuyisanga indodana yayo eyaxotshwayo.
14 Kamar ruwan da ya zuba a ƙasa, wanda ba a iya kwasa, haka dole mu mutu. Amma Allah ba ya ɗaukan rai; a maimako, yakan ƙirƙiro hanyoyi domin mutumin da aka kora kada yă kasance yasasshe daga gare shi.
Njengamanzi achithekele phansi, angeke abuthwe, kanjalo kumele sife. Kodwa uNkulunkulu kakususi ukuphila, esikhundleni salokho yena uceba izindlela zokuthi umuntu oxotshiweyo angehlukaniswa laye kokuphela.
15 “Yanzu ga shi na zo don in faɗa wannan wa ranka yă daɗe sarki, don mutane sun tsorata ni. Baiwarka ta yi tunani ta ce, ‘Zan yi magana wa sarki; wataƙila yă yi abin da baiwarsa ta roƙa.
Ngilande ukuzakutsho lokhu kumhlekazi wami inkosi, ngoba abantu sebengethusile. Incekukazi yakho icabange yathi, ‘Ngizakhuluma lenkosi, engxenye izakwenza lokho okucelwa yincekukazi yayo.
16 Wataƙila sarki zai yarda yă ceci baiwarsa daga hannun mutumin nan da yake ƙoƙari yă hallaka ni da ɗana daga gādon da Allah ya ba mu.’
Engxenye inkosi izavuma ukuhlenga incekukazi yayo esandleni somuntu ozama ukungisusa mina lendodana yami elifeni esaliphiwa nguNkulunkulu.’
17 “Yanzu kuwa baiwarka tana cewa, ‘Bari magana ranka yă daɗe sarki yă ba ni hutu, gama ranka yă daɗe sarki yana kama da mala’ikan Allah cikin rarrabe nagarta da mugunta. Bari Ubangiji Allahnka yă kasance tare da kai.’”
Khathesi incekukazi yakho ithi, ‘Sengathi izwi lomhlekazi wami, uThixo lingangilethela ukuphumula, ngoba umhlekazi wami, inkosi unjengengilosi kaNkulunkulu ekuphawuleni okuhle lokubi. Sengathi uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho angaba lawe.’”
18 Sai sarki ya ce wa matar, “Kada ki ɓoye mini kome daga abin da zan tambaye ki.” Matar ta ce, “Bari ranka yă daɗe sarki yă yi tambaya.”
Inkosi yasisithi kowesifazane lowo, “Ungangifihleli impendulo kulokhu engizakubuza khona.” Owesifazane wathi “Mhlekazi wami, inkosi kayikhulume.”
19 Sarki ya ce, “Anya, babu hannun Yowab a cikin dukan wannan?” Matar ta ce, “Muddin kana a raye, ranka yă daɗe sarki, ba wanda zai juya dama ko hagu daga wani abin da ranka yă daɗe sarki ya faɗa. I, bawanka Yowab ne ya umarce ni in yi wannan, shi ne kuma ya sa kalmomin nan a bakin baiwarka.
Inkosi yasibuza yathi, “Isandla sikaJowabi kasilawe yini kukho konke lokhu na?” Owesifazane waphendula wathi, “Ngeqiniso elinjengoba uphila, mhlekazi wami, inkosi, kakho ongaphambukela kwesokudla kumbe kwesenxele kwaloba yini umhlekazi wami, inkosi ekutshoyo. Ye, yinceku yakho uJowabi engilaye ukuba ngenze lokhu onguye njalo ofunze amazwi wonke la emlonyeni wencekukazi yakho.
20 Bawanka Yowab ne ya yi haka don yă daidaita al’amura. Ranka yă daɗe yana da hikima iri ta mala’ikan Allah, ya san dukan kome da yake faruwa a ƙasar.”
Inceku yakho uJowabi yenze lokhu ukuba iguqule umumo okhona khathesi. Inkosi yami ilenhlakanipho efana leyengilosi kaNkulunkulu yazi konke okwenzakalayo elizweni.”
21 Sarki ya ce wa Yowab, “To, da kyau, zan yi haka. Je ka, ka dawo da saurayin nan Absalom.”
Inkosi yasisithi kuJowabi, “Kulungile, ngizakwenza lokho. Hamba uyebuya lalo ijaha u-Abhisalomu.”
22 Yowab ya rusuna har ƙasa don bangirma, ya kuma yi wa sarki kyakkyawar fata. Yowab ya ce, “Yau, bawanka ya sani ya sami tagomashi a gare ka, ranka yă daɗe sarki, gama sarki ya ji roƙon bawansa.”
UJowabi wathi mbo phansi ngobuso eyihlonipha, waseyibonga inkosi. UJowabi wasesithi, “Lamhla inceku yakho isikwazi ukuthi isithole umusa emehlweni akho, mhlekazi wami, nkosi, ngoba inkosi isivumile isicelo senceku yayo.”
23 Sa’an nan Yowab ya tafi Geshur ya dawo da Absalom Urushalima.
Emva kwalokho uJowabi waya eGeshuri wayabuya lo-Abhisalomu eJerusalema.
24 Amma sarki ya ce, “Yă tafi gidansa; kada yă zo yă gan ni.” Saboda haka Absalom ya tafi gidansa, bai kuwa je ganin sarki ba.
Kodwa inkosi yathi, “Kaye endlini yakhe, akumelanga abone ubuso bami.” Ngakho u-Abhisalomu waya endlini yakhe akaze abubona ubuso benkosi.
25 A cikin dukan Isra’ila babu wanda ake yabon kyansa kamar Absalom. Tun daga kansa har zuwa tafin ƙafansa babu tabo a jikinsa.
Kulolonke elako-Israyeli kakho umuntu owayebatshazwa kakhulu ngobuhle bakhe njengo-Abhisalomu. Kusukela ekhanda lakhe kusiya ephangweni lonyawo lwakhe kwakungekho sici kuye.
26 A duk sa’ad da ya aske gashin kansa (yakan aske kansa lokaci-lokaci sa’ad da ya yi masa nauyi) yakan auna shi, nauyin gashin kuwa yakan kai wajen shekel ɗari biyu a ma’aunin da ake awo.
Kwakusithi lapho egele inwele zekhanda lakhe wayejwayele ukuzigela inwele zakhe kanye ngomnyaka nxa zasezimsinda kakhulu, wayezilinganisa esikalini, isisindo sazo sasingamakhulu amabili amashekeli ngesilinganiso sesikhosini.
27 Aka haifa wa Absalom’ya’ya uku maza da’ya mace guda. Sunanta Tamar, ta kuwa zama kyakkyawan mace ƙwarai.
U-Abhisalomu wazala amadodana amathathu lendodakazi eyodwa. Ibizo lendodakazi lalinguThamari, owayengumfazi omuhle.
28 Absalom ya zauna a Urushalima shekara biyu amma ba tare da ganin fuskar sarki ba.
U-Abhisalomu wahlala iminyaka emibili eJerusalema engabuboni ubuso benkosi.
29 Sai Absalom ya aika a kira masa Yowab don yă aike shi wurin sarki, amma Yowab ya ƙi zuwa. Saboda haka ya sāke aika sau na biyu, amma ya ƙi yă zo.
Yikho u-Abhisalomu wabiza uJowabi wamthuma enkosini, kodwa uJowabi wala ukuya kuye. Wathumela okwesibili, kodwa wala ukuza.
30 Sai ya ce wa bayinsa, “Duba, gonar Yowab tana gab da tawa, kuma yana da sha’ir a can. Ku je ku sa mata wuta.” Sai bayin Absalom suka sa wa gonar wuta.
Wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe, “Khangelani, insimu kaJowabi iphansi kweyami, njalo kulebhali kiyo. Hambani liyeyithungela ngomlilo.” Ngakho izinceku zika-Abhisalomu zayithungela insimu ngomlilo.
31 Sa’an nan Yowab ya tafi gidan Absalom ya ce masa, “Me ya sa bayinka suka sa wa gonata wuta?”
Lapho-ke uJowabi waya endlini ka-Abhisalomu wathi kuye, “Kungani izinceku zakho zithungele insimu yami ngomlilo?”
32 Absalom ya ce wa Yowab, “Kai, na aika, ‘Ka zo nan don in aike ka wurin sarki ka tambaya, “Me ya sa na dawo daga Geshur? Ai, ya fi mini a ce ina can har yanzu!”’ Yanzu kuwa, ina so in ga sarki, kuma idan na yi wani laifi, to, yă kashe ni.”
U-Abhisalomu wathi kuJowabi, “Khangela, ngithumele ilizwi kuwe ngathi, ‘Woza lapha ukuze ngikuthume enkosini ukuyabuza ukuthi, “Pho ngisukeleni eGeshuri? Kade kuzakuba ngcono kimi aluba ngilokhu ngikhonale!”’ Khathesi nje, mina ngifuna ukubona ubuso benkosi, nxa ngilecala laloba yini kangibulale.”
33 Saboda haka Yowab ya tafi wurin sarki ya gaya masa wannan. Sai sarki ya aika aka zo da Absalom, ya kuma rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa a gaban sarki. Sarki kuwa ya sumbaci Absalom.
Ngakho uJowabi waya enkosini wayitshela lokhu. Inkosi yambiza u-Abhisalomu, wafika wangena wasesithi mbo phansi ngobuso phambi kwenkosi. Inkosi yamanga u-Abhisalomu.
