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 him a chariot 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 used to rise up early, and stand beside the way of the gate; and it was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto 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 unto him: 'See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.'

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.”

Absalom said moreover: 'Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who hath any suit or cause might come unto 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 nigh to prostrate himself before him, he put forth his hand, and took hold of 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 on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment; so 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 unto the king: 'I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.

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 at Geshur in Aram, saying: If the LORD shall indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.'

9 Sarki ya ce, “Ka sauka lafiya.” Sai ya tafi Hebron.

And the king said unto him: 'Go in peace.' So he arose, 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.’”

But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying: 'As soon as ye hear the sound of the horn, then ye shall say: Absalom is king 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 went in their simplicity; and they knew not any thing.

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, even from Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for 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 a messenger to David, 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 unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem: 'Arise, and let us flee; or else none of us shall escape from Absalom; make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down 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 unto the king: 'Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever 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, that were 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 they tarried in Beth-merhak.

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 on 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.

Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite: 'Wherefore goest thou also with us? return, and abide with the king; for thou art a foreigner, and also an exile from thine own place.

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.”

Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us, seeing I go whither I may? return thou, and take back thy brethren with thee in kindness and truth.'

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 the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether for death or for 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, as all the people passed over; and as the king passed over the brook Kidron, all the people passed over, toward 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, lo, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God; and they set down the ark of God — but Abiathar went up — until all the people had done passing 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 unto Zadok: 'Carry back the ark of God into the city; if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, He will bring me back, and show me both it, and His 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 say thus: I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let Him do to me as seemeth good unto 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.

The king said also unto Zadok the priest: 'Seest thou? 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 tarry in the plains of the wilderness, until there come word from you to announce unto me.'

29 Saboda haka Zadok da Abiyatar suka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Allah suka komar da shi Urushalima, suka zauna a can.

Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God back 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.

And David went up by the ascent of the mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered, and went barefoot; and all the people that were 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.' And David said: 'O LORD, 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, that when David was come to the top of the ascent, where God was wont to be worshipped, 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 unto him: 'If thou passest on with me, then thou wilt be a burden unto 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 unto Absalom: I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant in time past, so will I now be thy servant; then wilt thou defeat for me 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? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever 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 unto me every thing that ye shall hear.'

37 Saboda haka Hushai abokin Dawuda ya isa Urushalima yayinda Absalom yake shigowa birnin.

So Hushai David's friend came into the city; and Absalom was at the point of coming into Jerusalem.
