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 after this Absalom began to furnish himself with 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 get up early and stand beside the road. Then when anyone had a dispute which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom would call out to him and say, "What city are you from?" When he said, "Your servant is from 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.”
then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your matters are good and right; but there is no one from the king to hear you."
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 would say, "Oh that I were made judge in the land, then anyone who had a dispute could come to me, and I would give 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.
It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he would extend his hand and embrace him, and kiss 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.
Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who 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.
It happened at the end of four years, that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to YHWH, 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 your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If YHWH will bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve YHWH in Hebron.'"
9 Sarki ya ce, “Ka sauka lafiya.” Sai ya tafi Hebron.
The king said to 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 you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you 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.
Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they did not know anything.
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 he sent and invited Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh, where he was offering sacrifice. 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.”
A messenger came 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.”
So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, otherwise none of us shall escape from Absalom. Go immediately, or else he will quickly overtake us and bring down the city on top of us, and strike 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.”
Then the king's servants said to him, "Look, your servants are ready to do whatever the king chooses."
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 out with all his household following him. But the king left ten women, who were secondary wives, to take care of the palace.
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.
So the king went out with all his servants following him, and they stopped at the last 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 the people passed on before him. And all those with him, all the officers and warriors, were six hundred men, and they passed on before him. And when all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites who followed 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 the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Go back and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner and you also are an exile from your 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.”
You came only yesterday. Should I today make you wander about with us, since I go I know not where? Go back, and take your brothers with you, and may YHWH show you 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.”
Ittai answered the king, and said, "As YHWH lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will your 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.
So David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." Then Ittai passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who 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 land wept aloud as all the people crossed over. And the king crossed the Wadi Kidron, and all the people passed before him on the Olive road into 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 look, Zadok also came (and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of YHWH) and Abiathar. And they set down the ark of God until all the people finished passing by from 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.
The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of YHWH, he will bring me back and show me both it and his dwelling place;
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 should say, 'I have no delight in you;' look, here I am. Let him do to me as seems 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 also to Zadok the priest, "Look, you return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
28 Zan kuwa jira a mashigai a hamada, sai na ji daga gare ku.”
Look, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes 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.
So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark to Jerusalem and returned it 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 Olives, and wept as he went, and he had his head covered and went barefoot. And all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up weeping as they went.
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 it had been told to David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." David said, "YHWH, please 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.
It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, look, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.
33 Sai Dawuda ya ce masa, “In ka tafi tare da ni, za ka zama mini kaya.
David said to him, "If you pass on with me, then you will 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 you return to the city, and tell Absalom, 'Your brothers have left, O king, after your father left, and now I am your servant, O king. Allow me to live. As I have been your father's servant in the past, so now I am your servant,' then you will 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 look, Zadok and Abiathar the priests will be there with you. So whatever you hear from the king's house you must 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.”
Look, their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son. And by them you must send to me everything that you 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 came into Jerusalem.
