2 Sama’ila 23
1 Waɗannan su ne kalmomin Dawuda na ƙarshe. “Abubuwan da Dawuda ɗan Yesse ya yi magana a kai, abubuwan da mutumin da Mafi Ɗaukaka ya girmama. Mutumin da Allah na Yaƙub ya zaɓa yă zama sarki, wanda kuma yake mawaƙi waƙoƙin Isra’ila.
And these are the last words of David. Thus saith David the son of Jesse, and thus saith the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet singer of Israel:
2 “Ruhun Ubangiji ya yi magana ta wurina; maganarsa tana a harshena.
The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me, and his word was upon my tongue.
3 Allah na Isra’ila ya yi magana, Dutsen Isra’ila ya ce mini, ‘Sa’ad da wani ya yi mulkin mutane da adalci, sa’ad da ya yi mulki da tsoron Allah,
[Thus] said the God of Israel, concerning me spoke the Rock of Israel, That [I should be] ruler over men, be righteous, ruling in the fear of God;
4 yana kama da hasken safiya a safiya marar girgije, kamar haske bayan ruwan sama da yakan sa ciyawa ta tsiro daga ƙasa.’
And as in the light of morning the sun riseth, in a morning without clouds, with more than the brightness [reflected] by rain on the herbs that spring from the earth.
5 “Ashe, gidana bai daidaita da Allah ba? Ashe, Allah bai yi madawwamiyar yarjejjeniya da ni shiryayye da ɗaurarre a kowane sashi ba? Ba zai kawo ga cikar cetona yă kuma biya duk bukatuna ba?
Truly is not so my house with God? since he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, firm in all, and sure? yea, will he not cause to grow all my salvation, and all my desire?
6 Amma za a jefar da masu mugunta duka kamar ƙayayyuwan da ba a tattara da hannu.
But the godless are all of them as waving thorns, which cannot be taken in the hand;
7 Duk wanda ya taɓa ƙaya yakan yi amfani da wani ƙarfe ne ko sandar māshi; akan ƙone su inda suke a zube.”
But the man that will touch them must protect his hand with iron and the staff of a spear: and they will be utterly burnt with fire in the dwelling.
8 Waɗannan su ne sunayen jarumawan Dawuda. Yosheb-Basshebet, mutumin Takemon ɗaya daga cikin shugabanni Uku; ya ɗaga māshinsa ya kashe mutum ɗari takwas a lokaci guda.
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Yosheb-bashebeth, the Thachkemonite, the chief among the captains, —the same as 'Adino the 'Eznite, —because of eight hundred slain at one time.
9 Na biye da shi a matsayi cikin jarumawa ukun nan, shi ne Eleyazar ɗan Dodo, mutumin Aho. Eleyazar ya kasance tare da Dawuda sa’ad da suka fuskanci Filistiyawa waɗanda suka taru a Fas Dammim don yaƙi. Mutanen Isra’ila suka gudu,
And after him was El'azar the son of Dodo, the son of Achochi, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had withdrawn themselves;
10 amma ya yi tsayi daka, ya bugi Filistiyawa sai da hannunsa ya gaji har ya liƙe wa māshinsa. Ubangiji kuwa ya sa aka yi babban nasara a ranar. Sauran sojoji suka komo wurin Eleyazar, don kawai su washe ganima.
He then arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand did cleave unto the sword: and the Lord wrought a great victory on that day; and the people returned after him only to strip [the slain].
11 Na biye da Agiyi a matsayi, shi ne Shamma ɗan Agi, mutumin Harar. Sa’ad da Filistiyawa suka taru a wani wurin da take gona cike da waken barewa, sai rundunar Isra’ila suka gudu daga Filistiyawa.
And after him was Shammah the son of Age the Hararite. The Philistines were gathered together into a troop, and there was a piece of ground full of lentiles; and the people had fled from the Philistines;
12 Amma Shamma ya yi tsayi daka a tsakiyar gonar. Ya kāre ta, ya kuma bugi Filistiyawa, Ubangiji kuwa ya sa aka yi babban nasara.
But he placed himself in the midst of the ground, and delivered it, and smote the Philistines: and the Lord wrought a great victory.
13 A lokacin girbi, uku daga cikin shugabanni talatin suka gangaro zuwa wurin Dawuda a kogon Adullam. A lokacin kuwa sojojin Filistiyawa sun kafa sansani a Kwarin Refayim.
And these three, the chiefs of the thirty, went down, and came to David at harvest-time unto the cave of 'Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Dawuda kuwa yana a mafaka. Wata ƙungiyar sojojin Filistiyawa kuma suna Betlehem.
And David was then in the strong-hold, and an outpost of the Philistines was then in Beth-lechem.
15 Dawuda ya ji ƙishirwa, sai ya ce, “Kash, da a ce wani yă samo mini ruwa daga rijiyar da take kusa da bakin ƙofar Betlehem mana!”
And David longed, and said, Oh that one would bring me water to drink out of the well at Beth-lechem, which is by the gate!
16 Sai jarumawa ukun nan suka yi kukan ƙura, suka sheƙa a guje suka ratsa cikin sansanin Filistiyawa, suka ɗebo ruwa daga rijiyar da take kusa da bakin ƙofar Betlehem, suka kawo wa Dawuda. Amma Dawuda ya ƙi yă sha; a maimako sai ya zuba shi a gaban Ubangiji.
And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines; and drew water out of the well of Beth-lechem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but he would not drink thereof, and poured it out unto the Lord.
17 Sai ya ce, “Ubangiji yă sawwaƙe, in yi sha! Ba jinin mutanen da suka tafi a bakin ransu ba ne?” Dawuda kuwa bai sha ruwan ba. Irin abubuwan da jarumawa ukun nan suka yi ke nan.
And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this: [is not this] the blood of the men that went at the risk of their life? and thus he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.
18 Abishai, ɗan’uwan Yowab, ɗan Zeruhiya shi shugaban Ukun nan. Ya ɗauki māshinsa ya kashe mutane ɗari uku, ta haka ya zama sananne kamar Ukun nan.
And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruyah, was the chief of these three; and he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain, and had a name among the three.
19 Ashe, ba a girmama shi fiye da Ukun ba? Ya zama komandansu, ko da yake ba a haɗa shi a cikinsu ba.
Although he was the most honored of the three, wherefore he became their captain: he nevertheless attained not unto the three [in prowess].
20 Benahiya, ɗan Yehohiyada mutumin Kabzeyel shi ma jarumi ne sosai, ya yi nasarori masu yawa. Ya bugi ƙwararrun jarumawan Mowab guda biyu. Ya kuma shiga rami wata ranar da ake ƙanƙara, ya kashe zaki.
And Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', the son of a valiant man, great in many acts of Kabzeel; he it was that smote the two lion-like heroes of Moab; he also went down and slew a lion in the midst of a pit on a day when it snowed;
21 Ya kuma buge wani jibgaggen mutumin Masar. Duk da māshin da mutumin Masar yana riƙe a hannunsa, Benahiya ya kai masa hari da kulki. Ya ƙwace māshin daga hannunsa, ya kuma kashe shi da māshin.
And he slew an Egyptian, a man of good appearance; and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and he snatched the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
22 Irin nasarorin da Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya yi ke nan; shi ma jarumi ne sosai kamar jarumawan nan uku.
These things did Benayahu the son of Yehoyada', and he had a name among the three mighty men.
23 Aka fi ba shi girma fiye da talatin ɗin nan, amma ba ya cikin ukun. Dawuda ya sa shi yă zama ɗaya daga cikin masu tsaron lafiyarsa.
He was more honored than the thirty; but he attained not to these three. And David appointed him in his private council.
