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.
Now when David was a little past the top, look, Ziba the servant of Mippibaal met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a container 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 to Ziba, "Why did you bring these things?" And Ziba replied, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who get exhausted in the desert."
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.’”
Then the king said, "Where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the children of Israel will restore 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, "Look, all that pertains to Mippibaal is yours." Ziba said, "I humbly bow. May I find favor in the sight of my lord the 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 reached Bahurim, now look, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera. He came out and cursed continuously as he approached.
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 threw stones at David and at all his servants, and all the people and all the soldiers at his right hand and at his left.
7 Yayinda yake la’antar, Shimeyi ya ce, “Tafi daga nan, tafi daga nan, mai kisankai, mutumin banza kawai!
And Shimei said as he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of blood, and worthless man.
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!”
Jehovah has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and Jehovah has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And look, your evil is upon you, because you are a man of bloodshed."
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, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please 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?’”
The king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because Jehovah has said to him, 'Curse David;' who then shall 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.
Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Look, my son who came from my body seeks my life. So also now this Benjamite. Leave him alone and let him curse, for Jehovah has told him to.
12 Mai yiwuwa Ubangiji yă ga azabata, yă sāka mini da alheri saboda la’anar da nake sha a yau.”
Perhaps Jehovah will look on my affliction and return good to me for his cursing 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 by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at his flank, and threw dirt.
14 Sarki da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi suka isa masauƙinsu a gajiye. A can fa ya huta.
Now the king and all his people arrived weary at the Jordan, and he refreshed himself there.
15 Ana cikin haka, Absalom da dukan Isra’ila suka iso Urushalima, Ahitofel kuwa yana tare da shi.
Now Absalom and all the men of Israel arrived in 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!”
And it came about when David's friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "Long live the king. Long live 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?”
So Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to 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.
Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom Jehovah and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I belong, and with him I will stay.
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.”
Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn't I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your presence."
20 Absalom ya ce wa Ahitofel, “Ba mu shawararka. Me za mu yi?”
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your counsel. What should we 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.”
Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's secondary wives, that he has left to care for the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father. Then those on your side will be motivated to support you."
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 set up a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's secondary wives 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.
Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one inquired of the word of God. So was all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom.
