2 Sama’ila 16
1 Sa’ad da Dawuda ya yi ɗan nesa da ƙwanƙolin, sai ga Ziba mai hidimar Mefiboshet, yana jira yă tarye shi. Yana da jerin jakuna da sirdi suna ɗauke da dunƙulen burodi ɗari biyu, da ƙosai busasshen inabi ɗari ɗaya, da kosan’ya’yan itace ɓaure guda ɗari, da salka ruwan inabi.
And when David had gone a little way past the top of the slope, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, came to him, with two asses on which were two hundred cakes of bread and a hundred stems of dry grapes and a hundred summer fruits and a skin of wine.
2 Sarki ya ce wa Ziba, “Me ya sa ka kawo waɗannan?” Ziba ya ce, “Jakuna domin iyalin gidan sarki su hau ne, burodi da’ya’yan itace domin mutane su ci, ruwan inabi kuma domin waɗanda suka gaji a hamada.”
And David said to Ziba, What is your reason for this? And Ziba said, The asses are for the use of the king's people, and the bread and the fruit are food for the young men; and the wine is for drink for those who are overcome by weariness in the waste land.
3 Sai sarki ya ce, “Ina jikar maigidanka?” Ziba ya ce, “Yana zaune a Urushalima gama yana tsammani cewa, ‘Yau gidan Isra’ila za su mayar mini da sarautar kakana.’”
And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said, He is still at Jerusalem: for he said, Today Israel will give back to me the kingdom of my father.
4 Sai sarki ya ce wa Ziba, “Duk abin da yake na Mefiboshet, ya zama naka.” Ziba ya rusuna ya ce, “Bari in dinga samun tagomashi a gabanka ranka yă daɗe.”
Then the king said to Ziba, Truly everything which was Mephibosheth's is yours. And Ziba said, I give honour to my lord, may I have grace in your eyes, my lord, O king!
5 Yayinda Sarki Dawuda ya kusato Bahurim, sai ga wani mutumin dangin Shawulu ya fito daga can, sunansa Shimeyi ɗan Gera. Ya fito yana ta la’anta yayinda yake fitowa.
And when King David came to Bahurim, a man of Saul's family named Shimei, the son of Gera, came out from there, calling curses after him.
6 Ya jajjefi Dawuda da dukan fadawan sarki da duwatsu, ko da yake sojoji da masu gadin sarki na musamman suna kewaye da sarki dama da hagu.
And he sent stones at David and at all the king's servants and at all the people and at all the men of war by his side, on the right hand and on the left.
7 Yayinda yake la’antar, Shimeyi ya ce, “Tafi daga nan, tafi daga nan, mai kisankai, mutumin banza kawai!
And Shimei said, with curses, Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, you good-for-nothing:
8 Ubangiji ya kama ka saboda alhakin jinin gidan Shawulu, wanda kake sarauta a maimakonsa. Ubangiji ya ba da masarautar ga ɗanka Absalom. Hallaka ta zo maka domin kai mai kisankai ne!”
The Lord has sent punishment on you for all the blood of the family of Saul, whose kingdom you have taken; and the Lord has given the kingdom to Absalom, your son: now you yourself are taken in your evil, because you are a man of blood.
9 Sai Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ya ce wa sarki, “Ranka yă daɗe, don me wannan mataccen kare yake la’antarka? Bari in je in datse kansa.”
Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king, Is this dead dog to go on cursing my lord the king? let me go over and take off his head.
10 Amma sarki ya ce, “Ba ruwana da ku, ku’ya’yan Zeruhiya. Idan yana la’ana ne domin Ubangiji ya ce masa, ‘La’anci Dawuda,’ wa zai ce, ‘Don me kake haka?’”
And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Let him go on cursing, for the Lord has said, Put a curse on David, and who then may say, Why have you done so?
11 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya ce wa Abishai da dukan fadawansa, “Ɗana, na cikina, yana ƙoƙari yă kashe ni. Balle wannan mutumin Benyamin! Ku ƙyale shi, yă yi ta zargi, Ubangiji ne ya ce masa yă yi haka.
And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, You see how my son, the offspring of my body, has made designs against my life: how much more then may this Benjamite do so? Let him be, and let him go on cursing; for the Lord has given him orders.
12 Mai yiwuwa Ubangiji yă ga azabata, yă sāka mini da alheri saboda la’anar da nake sha a yau.”
It may be that the Lord will take note of my wrongs, and give me back good in answer to his cursing of me today.
13 Saboda haka Dawuda da mutanensa suka ci gaba da tafiyarsu yayinda Shimeyi yana tafiya ɗaura da shi a gefen tudu, yana zagi, yana jifansa da duwatsu, yana tayar masa da ƙura.
So David and his men went on their way: and Shimei went by the hillside parallel with them, cursing and sending stones and dust at him.
14 Sarki da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi suka isa masauƙinsu a gajiye. A can fa ya huta.
And the king and his people came tired to Jordan, and took their rest there.
15 Ana cikin haka, Absalom da dukan Isra’ila suka iso Urushalima, Ahitofel kuwa yana tare da shi.
And Absalom and the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
16 Sai Hushai mutumin Arkitawa, abokin Dawuda ya je wurin Absalom ya ce masa, “Ran sarki yă daɗe! Ran sarki yă daɗe!”
Then Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom and said, Long life to the king, long life to the king!
17 Absalom ya ce wa Hushai, “Ƙaunar da kake nuna wa abokinka ke nan? Me ya sa ba ka tafi tare da abokinka ba?”
And Absalom said, Is this your love for your friend? why did you not go with your friend?
18 Hushai ya ce wa Absalom, “A’a, ai, wanda Ubangiji ya zaɓa ta wurin waɗannan mutane, da kuma ta wurin dukan mutane Isra’ila, shi zan zama nasa, zan kuma kasance tare da shi.
And Hushai said to Absalom, Not so; I am for that man whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have taken as king, and I will take my place with him.
19 Ban da haka ma, wane ne zan bauta wa? Ashe, ba ɗan ne zan bauta wa ba? Kamar dai yadda na bauta wa mahaifinka, haka zan bauta maka.”
And more than this! where is my place as a servant? is it not before his son? as I have been your father's servant, so will I be yours.
20 Absalom ya ce wa Ahitofel, “Ba mu shawararka. Me za mu yi?”
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your opinion now, what are we to do?
21 Ahitofel ya ce wa Absalom, “Je ka kwana da ƙwarƙwaran mahaifinka waɗanda ya bari su lura da fada. Ta haka dukan Isra’ila za su ji cewa ka mai da kanka abin wari a hancin mahaifinka, dukan hannuwan waɗanda suke tare da kai kuwa za su sami ƙarfi.”
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's women who are here looking after his house; then all Israel will have the news that you are hated by your father, and the hands of your supporters will be strong.
22 Saboda haka suka kafa wa Absalom tenti a bisa rufin ɗaki, a can ya kwana da ƙwarƙwaran mahaifinsa a gaban dukan Isra’ila.
So they put up the tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's women before the eyes of all Israel.
23 To, a kwanakin nan shawarar da Ahitofel yakan bayar takan zama kamar wadda aka nemi daga Allah ne. Haka Dawuda da Absalom duk suke ɗaukan dukan shawarar Ahitofel.
In those days the opinions of Ahithophel were valued as highly as if through him a man might get direction from God; so were they valued by David as much as by Absalom.
