2 Sama’ila 15
1 Ana nan sai Absalom ya samo wa kansa wata keken yaƙi da dawakai tare da mutum hamsin da za su sha gabansa.
And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 Absalom yakan tashi da sassafe yă tsaya a gefen hanyar shigar ƙofar birni. Duk sa’ad da wani ya zo da ƙara don a kai gaban sarki yă yi shari’a, Absalom yakan kira shi yă ce, “Daga wane gari ka fito?” Sai mutumin yă amsa yă ce, “Bawanka ya fito a ɗaya daga cikin kabilan Isra’ila.”
And Absalom rose early, and stood beside the way of the gate; and it was so, that when any man who had a controversy had to come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
3 Sai Absalom yă ce masa, “Ga shi, ƙararka daidai ne, tana kuma da gaskiya, sai dai ba wakilin sarkin da zai ji ka.”
And Absalom said to him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man to hear thee [appointed] by the king.
4 Absalom kuwa yakan ƙara da cewa, “Da a ce an naɗa ni alƙali a ƙasar mana! Da duk mai ƙara, ko kuka wanda zai zo wurina, zan in tabbatar an yi masa adalci.”
And Absalom said, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any controversy and cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!
5 Kuma duk sa’ad da wani ya zo wurin Absalom ya rusuna don yă gaishe shi, sai Absalom yă sa hannunsa yă ta da shi, yă kuma rungume shi.
And it was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
6 Absalom ya yi ta yin haka ga dukan Isra’ilawan da suka zo wurin sarki don neman adalci, ta haka kuwa ya saci zukatan mutanen Isra’ila.
And in this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment; and Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
7 A ƙarshen shekara huɗu, Absalom ya ce wa sarki, “Bari in tafi Hebron in cika alkawarin da na yi wa Ubangiji.
And it came to pass at the end of forty years, that Absalom said to the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay in Hebron my vow which I have vowed to Jehovah.
8 Yayinda bawanka yake zama a Geshur, a Aram, na yi wannan alkawari, na ce, ‘In Ubangiji ya komo da ni Urushalima, zan yi wa Ubangiji sujada a Hebron.’”
For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode in Geshur in Syria, saying, If Jehovah shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve Jehovah.
9 Sarki ya ce, “Ka sauka lafiya.” Sai ya tafi Hebron.
And the king said to him, Go in peace. And he rose up and went to Hebron.
10 Sai Absalom ya aiki manzanni a asirce cikin dukan kabilan Isra’ila, ya ce musu su ce, “Da zarar kuka ji an busa ƙaho, sai ku ce, ‘Absalom sarki ne a Hebron.’”
And Absalom sent emissaries into all the tribes of Israel, saying, When ye hear the sound of the trumpet, ye shall say, Absalom reigns in Hebron.
11 Mutum ɗari biyu daga Urushalima suka raka Absalom. An gayyace su a matsayin baƙi, suka kuwa tafi cikin rashin sani, ba su san wani abu game da al’amarin ba.
And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were invited; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew nothing.
12 Yayinda Absalom yake miƙa hadaya, ya aika a kira Ahitofel mutumin Gilo, mai ba wa Dawuda shawara, yă zo daga Gilo garinsa. Ta haka makircin ya ƙara ƙarfi, masu bin Absalom kuma suka yi ta ƙaruwa.
And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, from Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. And the conspiracy gathered strength; and the people increased continually with Absalom.
13 Wani manzo ya zo wurin Dawuda ya ce masa, “Zukatan mutanen Isra’ila sun koma wajen Absalom.”
And there came one to David who reported saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
14 Sai Dawuda ya ce wa dukan fadawansa da suke tare da shi a Urushalima, “Ku zo! Mu gudu, in ba haka ba, babu wanda zai tsira daga hannun Absalom. Dole mu bar nan, nan da nan, in ba haka ba zai tashi da sauri yă fāɗa mana, yă kuma hallaka garin da takobi.”
And David said to all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Rise up and let us flee; for we shall not [else] escape from Absalom. Be quick to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
15 Sai fadawan sarki suka ce masa, “Barorinka suna a shirye su yi duk abin da ranka yă daɗe, ya zaɓa.”
And the king's servants said to the king, Behold, thy servants [will do] whatever my lord the king shall choose.
16 Sarki ya kama hanya, dukan gidansa kuwa suna biye da shi; amma ya bar ƙwarƙwarai goma su lura da fada.
And the king went forth, and all his household after him, and the king left ten women, concubines, to keep the house.
17 Ta haka sarki ya kama hanya da dukan mutane suna biye da shi, suka yi sansani a wani wuri mai ɗan nisa da Urushalima.
And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and stayed at the remote house.
18 Dukan mutanensa suka wuce gabansa, tare da dukan Keretawa da Feletiyawa; da dukan mutane ɗari shida na Gittiyawan da suka raka shi daga Gat, suka wuce gaban sarki.
And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men that came after him from Gath, passed over before the king.
19 Sarki ya ce wa Ittai mutumin Gat, “Don me za ka zo tare da mu? Ka koma ka zauna tare da Sarki Absalom. Kai baƙo ne, ɗan gudun hijira daga garinka.
And the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why dost thou also go with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king; for thou art a foreigner, and besides, thou hast emigrated to the place where thou [dwellest].
20 Jiya-jiya ka zo. Yau kuma in sa ka yi ta yawo tare da mu, ga shi ban ma san inda za ni ba? Koma, ka tafi da’yan’uwanka. Bari alheri da amincin Ubangiji su kasance tare da kai.”
Thou didst come yesterday, and should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I can? Return and take back thy brethren. Mercy and truth be with thee!
21 Amma Ittai ya ce wa sarki, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye kuma muddin ranka yă daɗe yana a raye, duk inda ranka yă daɗe sarki zai kasance, ko a yi rai ko a mutu, a can bawanka zai kasance.”
And Ittai answered the king and said, [As] Jehovah liveth, and [as] my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
22 Dawuda ya ce wa Ittai, “Wuce gaba, taka mu je.” Sai Ittai mutumin Gat ya shiga layi tare da dukan mutanensa da iyalan da suke tare da shi.
And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
23 Dukan ƙauyuka suka yi ta kururuwa yayinda mutanen suke wucewa. Sarki shi ma ya haye ta Kwarin Kidron, mutane kuma suka ci gaba da tafiya zuwa wajen hamada.
And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over; the king also himself passed over the torrent Kidron, and all the people passed over, towards the way of the wilderness.
24 Zadok yana nan tare da su, kuma dukan Lawiyawan da suke tare da shi kuwa suna ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin Allah. Suka sauke akwatin alkawarin Allah, Abiyatar ya miƙa hadaya sai da mutane suka gama fita daga birnin.
And behold, Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had passed completely out of the city.
25 Sa’an nan sarki ya ce wa Zadok, “Ka komar da akwatin alkawarin Allah cikin birnin. Idan na sami tagomashi a idon Ubangiji, zai dawo da ni, yă kuma sa in sāke gan shi a mazauninsa.
And the king said to Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I shall find favour in the eyes of Jehovah, he will bring me again, and shew me it, and its habitation.
26 Amma in ya ce, ‘Ina baƙin ciki da kai,’ to, ina a shirye; bari yă yi abin da ya fi masa.”
But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, [here am] I, let him do to me as seemeth good to him.
27 Sarki ya kuma ce wa Zadok firist, “Ashe, kai ba mai duba ba ne? Ka koma cikin birnin lafiya, tare da ɗanka Ahimawaz, da kuma Yonatan ɗan Abiyatar. Kai da Abiyatar ku tafi da’ya’yanku biyu.
And the king said to Zadok the priest, Thou art the seer: return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 Zan kuwa jira a mashigai a hamada, sai na ji daga gare ku.”
See, I will stop in the plains of the desert, until there come word from you to inform me.
29 Saboda haka Zadok da Abiyatar suka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Allah suka komar da shi Urushalima, suka zauna a can.
And Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they abode there.
30 Amma Dawuda ya ci gaba yana hawan Dutsen Zaitun, yana kuka yayinda yake tafiya; kansa a rufe, kuma babu takalma a ƙafafunsa. Dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi suka rufe kawunansu suna ta kuka yayinda suke haurawa.
But David went up by the ascent of the Olives, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot; and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
31 To, an gaya wa Dawuda cewa, “Ahitofel yana cikin waɗanda suka hadasa maƙarƙashiya tare da Absalom.” Saboda haka Dawuda ya yi addu’a ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji ka mai da shawarar Ahitofel ta zama shiririta.”
And one told David saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. Then said David, Jehovah, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
32 Da Dawuda ya isa ƙwanƙoli, inda mutane sun saba yi wa Allah sujada, Hushai, mutumin Arkitawa kuwa yana can don yă tarye shi, taguwarsa a yage, ga kuma ƙura a kansa.
And it came to pass, when David had come to the summit, where he worshipped God, that behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head.
33 Sai Dawuda ya ce masa, “In ka tafi tare da ni, za ka zama mini kaya.
And David said to him, If thou passest on with me, thou wilt be a burden to me;
34 Amma in ka koma birni, ka gaya wa Absalom, ‘Zan zama bawanka, ya sarki; dā ni bawan mahaifinka ne, amma yanzu zan zama bawanka,’ ta haka za ka watsar da shawarar Ahitofel.
but if thou return to the city, and say to Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so now will I be thy servant; then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
35 Ba Zadok da Abiyatar firistocin nan suna nan tare da kai ba? Ka gaya musu duk abin da ka ji a fadan sarki.
And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? and it shall be, [that] whatsoever thing thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
36 ’Ya’yansu biyu maza, Ahimawaz ɗan Zadok, da kuma Yonatan ɗan Abiyatar, suna can tare da su. Ka aike su wurina da duk abin da ka ji.”
Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's [son], and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send to me everything that ye shall hear.
37 Saboda haka Hushai abokin Dawuda ya isa Urushalima yayinda Absalom yake shigowa birnin.
And Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
