2 Sama’ila 21
1 Lokacin da Dawuda yake mulki, an yi yunwa shekara uku a jere; saboda haka Dawuda ya nemi nufin Ubangiji. Ubangiji ya ce, “Saboda Shawulu ne da alhakin jinin gidansa; domin ya kashe Gibeyonawa.”
And there came to be a famine, in the days of David, for three years, year after year, so then David sought the face of Yahweh, —and Yahweh said—It respecteth Saul and his house, as to bloodshed, in that he put to death the Gibeonites.
2 Sai sarki ya tattara Gibeyonawa ya yi musu magana. (To, Gibeyonawa ba sashen Isra’ilawa ba ne, amma mutanen Amoriyawa ne da suka ragu, waɗanda Isra’ila ta rantse za tă bari da rai, amma Shawulu cikin kishinsa don Isra’ila da Yahuda ya yi ƙoƙari yă hallaka su duka.)
The king therefore called the Gibeonites, and said unto them (now, the Gibeonites, were, not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites, with whom, the sons of Israel, had entered into an oath, and Saul had sought to smite them, in his jealousy for the sons of Israel and Judah)—
3 Dawuda ya ce wa Gibeyonawa, “Me zan yi muku? Yaya zan yi kafara domin ku sa wa masu gādon Ubangiji albarka?”
wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites—What shall I do for you, and wherewith shall I make propitiation, so that ye may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?
4 Gibeyonawa suka ce, “Ba mu da’yanci mu nemi zinariya ko azurfa daga wurin Shawulu ko gidansa, ba mu kuwa da wani’yanci mu sa a kashe wani a Isra’ila.” Dawuda ya ce, “To, me kuke so in yi muku?”
And the Gibeonites said unto him—It is not a matter with us of silver or gold, with Saul or with his house, neither would we have a man put to death in Israel. And he said, —What do ye say I should do for you?
5 Suka ce wa sarki, “Mutumin da ya hallaka mu ya kuma yi mana makirci don kada mu kasance tare da Isra’ilawa ko’ina a cikin ƙauyukansu,
Then said they unto the king, The man who consumed us, and who thought to have destroyed us from taking a place within any of the bounds of Israel,
6 a ba mu zuriyarsa maza bakwai, mu kashe su, mu kuma rataye jikunansu a gaban Ubangiji a Gibeya na Shawulu wannan zaɓaɓɓen Ubangiji.” Sai sarki ya ce, “Zan ba ku su.”
let there be delivered up to us—seven men of his sons, and we will crucify them unto Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh. And the king said, I, will deliver them up.
7 Sarki ya ware Mefiboshet ɗan Yonatan jikan Shawulu, saboda rantsuwar da take tsakanin Dawuda da Yonatan, ɗan Shawulu a gaban Ubangiji.
But the king had pity upon Mephibosheth, son of Jonathan, Saul’s son, —because of the oath of Yahweh that was between them, between David and Jonathan, Saul’s son.
8 Amma sarki ya ɗauki Armoni da Mefiboshet,’ya’ya biyu maza waɗanda Rizfa’yar Aiya ta haifa wa Shawulu, tare da’ya’ya maza biyar na Merab’yar Shawulu, waɗanda ta haifa wa Adriyel ɗan Barzillai, mutumin Mehola.
So the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she had borne to Saul, even Armoni and Mephibosheth, —and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai, the Meholathite;
9 Ya ba da su ga Gibeyonawa, waɗanda suka kashe su, suka kuma rataye jikunansu a gaban Ubangiji. Dukan bakwai ɗin an kashe su gaba ɗaya; an kashe su a farkon kwanankin girbi, daidai lokacin fara girbin sha’ir.
and delivered them up into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they crucified them in the mountain, before Yahweh, so they seven fell together, —they being put to death in the first days of harvest, in the beginning of the barley harvest.
10 Rizfa’yar Aiya ta ɗauki tsumma ta yi wa kanta shimfiɗa a kan dutse. Tun daga farkon girbi har ruwa damina ya sauko a kan gawawwakin, ba tă yarda tsuntsayen sama su taɓa su da rana ko mugayen namun jeji da dare ba.
Then Rizpah daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth, and spread it out for herself, on the rock, from the beginning of harvest, until water poured out upon them from the heavens, —and suffered neither the birds of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the wild beasts of the field, [to devour them] by night.
11 Da aka gaya wa Dawuda abin da Rizfa’yar Aiya ƙwarƙwaran Shawulu ta yi,
And it was told David, —what Rizpah daughter of Aiah, Saul’s concubine, had done.
12 sai ya je ya kwashe ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan daga mutanen Yabesh Gileyad (Gama mutanen sun saci gawawwakin Shawulu da Yonatan daga inda Filistiyawa suka kakkafa su a kan itace a filin Bet-Shan, bayan da Filistiyawa suka kashe su a Gilbowa.)
So David went and fetched the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the owners of Jabesh-gilead, —who stole them from the broadway of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, on the day when the Philistines had smitten Saul in Gilboa;
13 Dawuda ya kawo ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan daga can, a kuma aka tattara dukan ƙasusuwan waɗanda Gibeyonawan suka kashe, suka kuma rataye.
and he brought up from thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, —and they gathered together the bones of them who had been crucified;
14 Suka binne ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan a kabarin Kish, mahaifin Shawulu, a Zela a Benyamin. Suka kuma yi kome da sarki ya umarta. Bayan wannan Allah ya ji addu’arsu a madadin ƙasar.
so they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the grave of Kish his father, thus did they all that the king commanded, —and God suffered himself to be entreated for the land, after this.
15 Har yanzu yaƙi ya sāke ɓarke tsakanin Filistiyawa da Isra’ila. Sai Dawuda ya gangara tare da mutanensa don su yaƙi Filistiyawa, gajiya ta kama shi.
And the Philistines had yet again a war with Israel, —so David went down, and his servants with him, and fought the Philistines, and David became faint.
16 Ishbi-Benob kuwa, wani daga zuriyar Rafa, wanda nauyin kan māshinsa na tagulla ya yi shekel ɗari uku, wanda yake kuma da sabon māshi, ya ce zai kashe Dawuda.
So, Ishbi-benob, who was of the descendants of the giant, the weight of whose spear-head, was three hundred shekels of bronze, he also being newly armed, thought to smite David;
17 Amma Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ya kawo wa Dawuda gudummawa; ya bugi Bafilistin, ya kashe shi. Sa’an nan mutanen Dawuda suka rantse masa suka ce, “Ba za ka ƙara fita tare da mu wurin yaƙi ba, don kada fitilar Isra’ila tă mutu.”
but Abishai son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then, sware the men of David unto him, saying—Thou must not go forth any more with us, to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
18 Ana nan, sai aka sāke yin wani yaƙin da Filistiyawa, a Gob. A lokacin Sibbekai mutumin Husha ya kashe Saf, wani daga zuriyar Rafa.
And it came to pass, after this, that there was yet again a battle in Gob, with the Philistines, —then, Sibbekai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the descendants of the giant.
19 Sai aka sāke yin wani yaƙin da Filistiyawa a Gob, Elhanan ɗan Ya’are-Oregim mutumin Betlehem ya kashe Goliyat mutumin Gat, wanda girmar sandan māshinsa ta yi kama da taɓarya.
And there was yet again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, —when Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim of Bethlehem, smote Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 Har wa yau a wani yaƙin da aka yi a Gat, akwai wani ƙaton mutum mai yatsotsi shida a kowane hannu, da kuma yatsotsi shida a kowane ƙafa, yatsotsi ashirin da huɗu ke nan. Shi ma daga zuriya Rafa ne.
And there was yet again a battle in Gath; when there was a man of stature, with six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; he also, having been born to the giant;
21 Da ya yi wa Isra’ila reni, sai Yonatan ɗan Shimeya, ɗan’uwa Dawuda, ya kashe shi.
but, when he reproached Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah David’s brother, smote, him.
22 Waɗannan huɗu zuriyar Rafa ne a Gat, suka kuwa mutu ta hannu Dawuda da mutanensa.
These four, had been born to the giant in Gath, —but they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
