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 was a little past the top [of the hill], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred [loaves] of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle 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 the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses [be] for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
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] thy master’s son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore 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 said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine [are] all that [pertained] unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee [that] I may find grace in thy sight, 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, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name [was] Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
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 cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men [were] on his right hand and on his left.
7 Yayinda yake la’antar, Shimeyi ya ce, “Tafi daga nan, tafi daga nan, mai kisankai, mutumin banza kawai!
And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
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 hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou [art taken] in thy mischief, because thou [art] a bloody man.
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 said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, 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, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou 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, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now [may this] Benjamite [do it]? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
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 look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
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.
And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill’s side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
14 Sarki da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi suka isa masauƙinsu a gajiye. A can fa ya huta.
And the king, and all the people that [were] with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
15 Ana cikin haka, Absalom da dukan Isra’ila suka iso Urushalima, Ahitofel kuwa yana tare da shi.
And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
16 Sai Hushai mutumin Arkitawa, abokin Dawuda ya je wurin Absalom ya ce masa, “Ran sarki yă daɗe! Ran sarki yă daɗe!”
And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save 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 to Hushai, [Is] this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy 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 unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
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 again, whom should I serve? [should I] not [serve] in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s presence, so will I be in thy presence.
20 Absalom ya ce wa Ahitofel, “Ba mu shawararka. Me za mu yi?”
Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall 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 unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that [are] with thee 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 spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father’s concubines in the sight 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.
And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, [was] as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so [was] all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
