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.
When David [and the others] had gone a little way past the top of the hill, Mephibosheth’s servant Ziba met him. He had with him two donkeys that were carrying 200 loaves of bread, 100 bunches/clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of fresh fruit, and a leather bag full 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.”
The king said to Ziba, “What are these for?” Ziba replied, “The donkeys are for your family to ride on, the bread and the fruit are for your soldiers to eat, and the wine is for them to drink when they become 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.’”
The king said, “Where is Mephibosheth, the grandson of your [former] master [Saul]?” Ziba [deceived David by] saying, “He stayed in Jerusalem, because he thinks that now the Israeli people will allow him to rule the kingdom that his grandfather Saul ruled.”
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.”
The king said to Ziba, “Okay, everything that belonged to Mephibosheth is now yours.” Ziba replied, “Your Majesty, I will humbly serve you; and I desire/hope that you will always be pleased with me.”
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.
When King David [and those with him] arrived at Bahurim [town], a man named Shimei met him. Shimei, whose father was Gera, was one of Saul’s relatives. Shimei was cursing David 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.
Then he threw stones at David and his officials, even though the officials and David’s bodyguards surrounded David.
7 Yayinda yake la’antar, Shimeyi ya ce, “Tafi daga nan, tafi daga nan, mai kisankai, mutumin banza kawai!
Shimei cursed David and said to him, “Get out of here, you murderer, you scoundrel!
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!”
Yahweh is (getting revenge on/punishing) you all for murdering [MTY] many people in Saul’s family. And now he is giving Saul’s kingdom to your son Absalom. You murderer, you are being paid back for the many people that you have killed/murdered [MTY]!”
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 said to the king, “Your Majesty, this man is [as worthless as] [MET] a dead dog! (Why should he be allowed to curse you?/He should not be allowed to curse you.) [RHQ] Allow me to go over there and cut 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?’”
But the king replied, “You two sons of Zeruiah, (do not tell me what to do/this does not concern you) [RHQ]. If he is cursing me because Yahweh told him to do that, certainly no one should say ‘(Why are you doing that?/You should not be doing that.) [RHQ]’”
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 officials, “You know that my own son is trying to kill me. So [it is not surprising that] this man from the tribe of Benjamin is also trying to kill me. So ignore him, and allow him to curse me, because [perhaps he thinks that] Yahweh told him to do that.
12 Mai yiwuwa Ubangiji yă ga azabata, yă sāka mini da alheri saboda la’anar da nake sha a yau.”
Perhaps Yahweh will see that I am having all this trouble, and [some day he will repay me by] (blessing/doing good things for) me in return for this man cursing 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.
Then David and those who were with him walked along the road, and Shimei continued walking along the hillside near him. While he walked along, he cursed David and threw stones and dirt at him.
14 Sarki da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi suka isa masauƙinsu a gajiye. A can fa ya huta.
When David and those who were with him arrived at the Jordan [River], they were very tired. So they rested there.
15 Ana cikin haka, Absalom da dukan Isra’ila suka iso Urushalima, Ahitofel kuwa yana tare da shi.
While that was happening, Absalom and all the Israeli people who were with him had arrived in Jerusalem. Ahithophel had also arrived there.
16 Sai Hushai mutumin Arkitawa, abokin Dawuda ya je wurin Absalom ya ce masa, “Ran sarki yă daɗe! Ran sarki yă daɗe!”
When David’s friend Hushai came to Absalom, he said to Absalom, “I desire/hope that the king will live a long time! May you live for many years!”
17 Absalom ya ce wa Hushai, “Ƙaunar da kake nuna wa abokinka ke nan? Me ya sa ba ka tafi tare da abokinka ba?”
Absalom said to Hushai, “You have been loyal [RHQ] to your friend [David for a long time]. So why did you not go with him [instead of coming to me]?”
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.
Hushai replied, “I will serve the one whom Yahweh and these people and all the other people of Israel have chosen [to be their king]. So I will stay with you.
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.”
You are my master [King David’s] son; if I do not serve you, what other man should I serve [RHQ]? I will serve you as I served your father.”
20 Absalom ya ce wa Ahitofel, “Ba mu shawararka. Me za mu yi?”
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “What do you advise that we should 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 replied, “Your father left some of his slave wives in the palace to take care of it. Have sex [EUP] with them. When everyone in Israel hears that you have done that, they will realize that you are acting very contemptuously toward your father. Then all those who are with you will be very encouraged.”
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 [of the palace]. And Absalom went into the tent and had sex [EUP] with his father’s slave wives, [one by one, ] and everyone [HYP] could see [him going into the tent].
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, people accepted what Ahithophel recommended as though he were speaking the words of God. So just as David had always accepted what Ahithophel said, now Absalom did also.
