2 Sama’ila 19
1 Aka faɗa wa Yowab cewa, “Sarki yana kuka, yana kuma makoki saboda Absalom.”
And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom.
2 Saboda haka sai nasarar da aka yi a ranar ta zama makoki ga dukan sojoji, gama a ranar, rundunoni sun ji an ce, “Sarki yana baƙin ciki domin ɗansa.”
And the victory that day was [turned] into mourning for all the people; for the people heard say that day, The king is grieved for his son.
3 Mutane fa suka shiga birni shiru, sai ka ce waɗanda sukan sace jiki don kunya sa’ad da suka gudo daga yaƙi.
And the people stole away that day into the city, as people steal away when ashamed of fleeing in battle.
4 Sarki ya rufe fuskarsa ya yi kuka da ƙarfi yana cewa, “Ya ɗana Absalom! Ya Absalom ɗana, ɗana!”
And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, My son Absalom! Absalom, my son, my son!
5 Sai Yowab ya shiga gidan sarki ya ce, “Yau ka kunyatar da dukan mutanenka, waɗanda ba da daɗewa ba sun ceci ranka, da rayukan’ya’yanka maza, da na’ya’yanka mata, da na matanka da kuma na ƙwarƙwaranka.
And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast put to shame this day the faces of all thy servants who have this day saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives and the lives of thy concubines;
6 Kana ƙaunar maƙiyinka, kana ƙin waɗanda suke ƙaunarka. Ka bayyana a fili cewa komandodi da sojojinsu ba kome ba ne a gare ka. Na ga cewa da za ka yi farin ciki, da a ce Absalom yana da rai a yau, dukanmu kuma mun mutu.
in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest those that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that neither princes nor servants are anything to thee: for to-day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died to-day, then it would have been right in thine eyes.
7 Yanzu ka fita ka ƙarfafa mutanenka. Na rantse da Ubangiji, in ba ka fita ba, babu mutum guda da za a bari tare da kai a daren nan. Wannan zai fi maka muni fiye da kowace irin masifar da ta auko maka tun ƙuruciyarka har zuwa yanzu.”
But now arise, go forth, and speak consolingly to thy servants; for I swear by Jehovah, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night; and that would be worse to thee than all the evil that has befallen thee from thy youth until now.
8 Saboda haka sarki ya tashi, ya zauna a bakin hanyar shiga. Da aka faɗa wa mutane cewa, “Sarki yana zaune a bakin hanyar shiga,” sai duk suka zo gabansa. Ana cikin haka, Isra’ilawa dai sun riga sun tsere zuwa gidajensu.
Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. And all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.
9 Mutane ko’ina a kabilan Isra’ila, suka yi ta gardama da juna, suna cewa, “Sarki ne ya cece mu daga hannun abokan gābanmu, shi ne kuma ya kuɓutar da mu daga hannun Filistiyawa. Amma ga shi ya tsere daga ƙasar saboda Absalom;
And all the people were at strife throughout the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land because of Absalom.
10 kuma shi Absalom, da muka naɗa yă yi mulkinmu, ya mutu a yaƙi. Saboda haka don me ba kwa ce wani abu game da dawo da sarki?”
And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle; and now why are ye silent as to bringing the king back?
11 Sai Sarki Dawuda ya aika da saƙo zuwa wurin Zadok da Abiyatar, firistoci, ya ce, “Ku tambayi dattawan Yahuda, ‘Me ya sa ku ne za ku zama na ƙarshe a yin tunanin komar da sarki zuwa fada, da yake abin da ake faɗi ko’ina a Isra’ila ya kai kunnen sarki a mazauninsa?
And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, to his house.
12 Ku’yan’uwana ne, jikina, jinina kuma. To, don me za ku zama na ƙarshe na yarda a dawo da sarki zuwa fada?’
Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh; and why will ye be the last to bring back the king?
13 Ku kuma ce wa Amasa, ‘Ashe, kai ba jikina ba ne da jinina? Allah yă hukunta ni, da hukunci mai tsanani, idan daga yanzu ba ka zama komandan sojojina a maimakon Yowab ba.’”
And say to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually instead of Joab.
14 Ta haka ya rinjayi zukatan dukan mutane Yahuda, kamar mutum ɗaya. Suka aika da saƙo wurin sarki suka ce, “Ka dawo, kai da dukan mutanenka.”
And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah as of one man; and they sent to the king, Return, thou and all thy servants.
15 Sa’an nan sarki ya dawo, ya kuma tafi har zuwa Urdun. To, mutanen Yahuda suka zo Gilgal don su fita su taryi sarki, su kuma kawo shi ƙetaren Urdun.
And the king returned and came as far as the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over the Jordan.
16 Shimeyi ɗan Gera, mutumin Benyamin daga Bahurim ya gaggauta, ya gangara tare da mutanen Yahuda don su taryi Sarki Dawuda.
And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjaminite, who was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
17 Tare da shi akwai kabilar Benyamin mutum dubu, tare da Ziba, mai hidimar gidan Shawulu, da’ya’yansa maza goma sha biyar, da bayi ashirin. Suka ruga zuwa Urdun, inda sarki yake.
And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they forded the Jordan before the king.
18 Suka haye a mashigin don su ƙetaro da iyalin sarki, su kuma yi duk abin da yake so. Sa’ad da Shimeyi ɗan Gera ya haye Urdun, sai ya fāɗi rubda ciki a gaban sarki
And a ferry boat passed to and fro to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was [just] crossing over the Jordan.
19 ya ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, ina roƙonka kada ka riƙe laifina a zuciya. Kada ka tuna da laifin da na yi maka ranka yă daɗe, ranan nan da kake gudu daga Urushalima. Kada ka tuna da shi ko kaɗan.
And he said to the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity to me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to heart.
20 Na sani ni bawanka na yi maka laifi. Shi ya sa na zama na farko daga dukan Gidan Yusuf, da mutanen Isra’ila wanda ya fito don yă tarye ka yau, ranka yă daɗe, sarki.”
For thy servant knows that I have sinned; and behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
21 Sai Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ya ce, “Bai kamata a kashe Shimeyi saboda wannan ba? Ya la’anci shafaffe na Ubangiji.”
And Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed Jehovah's anointed?
22 Dawuda ya ce, “Me ya haɗa ni da ku, ku’ya’yan Zeruhiya? Yau ɗin nan kun zama maƙiyana! Ya kamata a kashe wani a Isra’ila a yau? Ban san cewa yau ni sarki ne a bisa Isra’ila ba?”
And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries to me? Should there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
23 Saboda haka sarki ya ce wa Shimeyi, “Ba za ka mutu ba.” Sarki kuwa ya yi alkawari har da rantsuwa.
And the king said to Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king swore to him.
24 Mefiboshet, jikan Shawulu, shi ma ya gangara don yă taryi sarki. Tun daga ranar da sarki ya gudu har ran da ya komo lafiya, Mefiboshet bai lura da ƙafafunsa, ko yă aske gemunsa, ko yă wanke tufafinsa ba.
And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. Now he had neither washed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came [again] in peace.
25 Sa’ad da ya zo daga Urushalima don yă taryi sarki, sai sarki ya ce masa, “Me ya sa ba ka tafi tare da ni ba Mefiboshet?”
And as soon as Jerusalem came to meet the king, the king said to him, Why didst thou not go with me, Mephibosheth?
26 Sai ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe sarki, da yake bawanka gurgu ne, na ce, ‘A sa mini sirdi a kan jakina don in hau in tafi tare da sarki.’ Amma Ziba bawana ya bashe ni.
And he said, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me; for thy servant said, I will saddle me the ass, and ride thereon, and go with the king; for thy servant is lame.
27 Ya kuwa ɓata suna bawanka a gaban ranka yă daɗe, sarki. Ranka yă daɗe, sarki yana kama da mala’ikan Allah, ka yi abin da ka ga ya fi maka kyau.
And he has slandered thy servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God; do therefore what is good in thy sight.
28 Duk zuriyar kakana ba su cancanci kome ba sai mutuwa daga ranka yă daɗe, amma ka ba wa bawanka wuri cikin mutanen da suke ci a teburinka. Saboda haka, wanda’yanci nake da shi da zan yi wani ƙarin roƙo a wurin sarki?”
For all my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king; and thou didst set thy servant among them that eat at thine own table. What further right therefore have I? and for what should I cry any more to the king?
29 Sarki ya ce masa, “Me ya sa kake zancen nan? Ai, na riga na umarta, da kai, da Ziba ku raba filayen.”
And the king said to him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
30 Mefiboshet ya ce wa sarki, “Bari yă ɗauki kome, yanzu da ranka yă daɗe, sarki ya dawo gida lafiya.”
And Mephibosheth said to the king, Let him even take all, since my lord the king is come again in peace to his own house.
31 Barzillai mutumin Gileyad shi ma ya zo daga Rogelim don yă ƙetare Urdun tare da sarki, yă kuma sallame shi daga can.
And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over the Jordan with the king, to conduct him over the Jordan.
32 To, Barzillai fa tsoho ne, mai shekara tamanin. Ya tanada wa sarki a lokaci da yake Mahanayim, gama shi attajiri ne.
And Barzillai was very aged, eighty years old; and it was he that had maintained the king while he abode at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
33 Sarki ya ce wa Barzillai, “Ka ƙetaro tare da ni ka zauna tare da ni a Urushalima, zan kuwa tanada maka.”
And the king said to Barzillai, Pass thou over with me, and I will maintain thee with me in Jerusalem.
34 Amma Barzillai ya ce wa sarki, “Shekara nawa ya rage mini har da zan tafi Urushalima da sarki?
And Barzillai said to the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
35 Yanzu ina da shekara tamanin. Zan iya bambanta abu mai daɗi da marar daɗi kuma ne? Bawanka zai iya jin ɗanɗano abin da yake ci, ko yake sha ne? Har yanzu zan iya jin muryoyin mawaƙan maza da mata? Don me bawanka zai zama ƙari kaya ga ranka yă daɗe?
I am this day eighty years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat and what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? and why should thy servant be yet a burden to my lord the king?
36 Bawanka zai ƙetare Urdun tare da sarki, yă ɗan yi maka rakiya kaɗan. Me ya sa ranka yă daɗe zai ba ni irin wannan lada.
Thy servant will go a little way over the Jordan with the king; and why should the king recompense it to me with this reward?
37 Ka bar bawanka yă koma, don in mutu a garina, kusa da kabarin mahaifina da mahaifiyata. Amma ga bawanka Kimham. Bari yă ƙetare tare da ranka yă daɗe, sarki. Ka yi abin da ka ga dama da shi.”
Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham: let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what seems good to thee.
38 Sarki ya ce, “Kimham zai ƙetare tare da ni, zan kuwa yi masa abin da ya gamshe ka. Kuma duk abin da kake bukata a wurina, zan yi maka.”
And the king said, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which seems good to thee; and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
39 Saboda haka dukan mutane suka ƙetare Urdun, sa’an nan kuma sarki ma ya ƙetare. Sarki ya yi wa Barzillai sumba ya albarkace shi, sa’an nan Barzillai ya koma gidansa.
And all the people went over the Jordan; and the king went over; and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
40 Sa’ad da sarki ya ƙetare zuwa Gilgal, Kimham ma ya ƙetare tare da shi. Dukan sojojin Yahuda da rabin sojojin Isra’ila suka ƙetare da sarki.
And the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him; and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
41 Nan take sai ga mutane Isra’ila suna zuwa wurin sarki, suna cewa, “Don me’yan’uwanmu, mutanen Yahuda, suka saci sarki, suka kawo shi da iyalinsa a ƙetaren Urdun, tare da dukan mutanensa?”
And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over the Jordan?
42 Dukan mutanen Yahuda suka ce wa mutanen Isra’ila, “Mun yi haka domin sarki danginmu na kurkusa ne. Don me kuke fushi game da wannan? Mun ci wani abu daga cikin kayan sarki ne? Mun ɗauki wani abu wa kanmu ne?”
And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to me; and why then are ye angry for this matter? have we eaten anything which came from the king, or has he given us any present?
43 Sa’an nan mutanen Isra’ila suka ce wa mutanen Yahuda, “Muna da rabo goma a wurin sarki; ban da haka ma, muna da hakki mafi yawa a wurin Dawuda fiye da ku. Don me kuke mana reni? Ba mu ne ma muka fara magana dawowa da sarki ba?” Amma mutanen Yahuda suka ɗauka maganar da zafi fiye da mutanen Isra’ila.
And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, I have ten parts in the king and I have also more right in David than thou; and why didst thou slight me? and was not my advice the first, to bring back my king? And the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.
