2 Sama’ila 3
1 Aka daɗe ana yaƙi tsakanin gidan Shawulu da gidan Dawuda. Dawuda kuwa ya yi ta ƙara ƙarfi, yayinda gidan Shawulu ya yi ta raguwa a ƙarfi.
And there was war for a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.
2 An haifa wa Dawuda’ya’ya maza a Hebron. Ɗansa na fari shi ne Amnon, ɗan Ahinowam mutuniyar Yezireyel;
And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his first-born was Ammon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess.
3 na biyu shi ne Kileyab, ɗan Abigiyel gwauruwar Nabal mutumin Karmel; na uku shi ne Absalom, ɗan Ma’aka’yar Talmai sarkin Geshur;
And his second son [was] Daluia, the son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.
4 na huɗu shi ne Adoniya, ɗan Haggit; na biyar shi ne Shefatiya, ɗan Abital;
And the fourth [was] Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth [was] Saphatia, the son of Abital.
5 na shida kuma shi ne Itireyam, ɗan Egla matar Dawuda. An haifi waɗannan wa Dawuda a Hebron.
And the sixth [was] Jetheraam, the son of Aegal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron.
6 Sa’ad da ake yaƙi tsakanin gidan Shawulu da gidan Dawuda, sai Abner ya yi ta ƙarfafa matsayinsa a gidan Shawulu.
And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner was governing the house of Saul.
7 To, Shawulu yana da ƙwarƙwarar da ake kira Rizfa,’yar Aiya. Sai Ish-Boshet ya ce wa Abner, “Don me kake kwana da ƙwarƙwarar mahaifina?”
And Saul had a concubine, Respha, the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why hast thou gone in to my father's concubine?
8 Abner ya husata saboda abin da Ish-Boshet ya ce, sai ya ce, “Kana tsammani ni mai cin amana ne? Kana zato ni mai goyon bayan Yahuda ne? Tun farko na nuna aminci ga gidan babanka Shawulu, da’yan’uwansa, da abokansa! Ban kuwa ba da kai a hannun Dawuda ba. Ga shi yanzu a kan mace za ka ga laifina?
And Abenner was very angry with Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog's head? I have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul thy father, and with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of David, and dost thou this day seek a charge against me concerning injury to a woman?
9 Allah yă yi wa Abner hukunci mai tsanani, in ban goyi bayan Dawuda ya sami abin da Ubangiji ya yi masa alkawari da rantsuwa ba.
God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;
10 Zan kuma mayar wa Dawuda sarautar gidan Shawulu, in kafa kursiyin Dawuda a kan Isra’ila, da kan Yahuda tun daga Dan har zuwa Beyersheba.”
to take away the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.
11 Ish-Boshet bai ƙara yin karambanin ce wa Abner kome ba, gama yana tsoronsa.
And Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him.
12 Sai Abner ya aiki manzanni a madadinsa wurin Dawuda su ce masa, “Ƙasar ta wane ne? Ka yi yarjejjeniya da ni, zan kuwa taimake ka, in juye dukan Isra’ila zuwa ɓangarenka.”
And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thaelam where he was, immediately, saying, Make thy covenant with me, and, behold, my hand [is] with thee to bring back to thee all the house of Israel.
13 Dawuda ya ce, “Da kyau, zan yi yarjejjeniya da kai, amma fa ina bukata abu guda daga gare ka, kada ka zo gabana in ba tare da matata Mikal,’yar Shawulu ba.”
And David said, With a good will I will make with thee a covenant: only I demand one condition of thee, saying, Thou shalt not see my face, unless thou bring Melchol the daughter of Saul, when thou comest to see my face.
14 Sai Dawuda ya aiki manzanni zuwa wurin Ish-Boshet ɗan Shawulu cewa, “Ka ba ni matata Mikal wadda na biya sadakinta da loɓa ɗari na Filistiyawa.”
And David sent messengers to Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
15 Sai Ish-Boshet ya ba da umarni, aka kuwa ɗauke ta daga gidan mijinta Faltiyel ɗan Layish.
And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, [even] from Phaltiel the son of Selle.
16 Amma mijin ya raka ta, yana tafe yana kuka, ya bi ta har Bahurim. Sai Abner ya ce masa, “Koma gida!” Sai ya koma.
And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned.
17 Abner ya tattauna da dattawan Isra’ila ya ce, “An daɗe kuna nema ku naɗa Dawuda sarkinku.
And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days ye sought David to reign over you;
18 To, yanzu sai ku yi haka! Gama Ubangiji ya yi wa Dawuda alkawari ya ce, ‘Ta wurin bawana Dawuda zan ceci mutanena Isra’ila daga hannun Filistiyawa, da kuma hannun dukan abokan gābansu.’”
and now perform [it]: for the Lord has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save Israel out of the hand of all their enemies.
19 Abner kuma ya yi magana da mutane Benyamin da kansa. Sa’an nan ya tafi Hebron yă gaya wa Dawuda ko mene ne Isra’ila da kuma dukan gidan Benyamin suke so su yi.
And Abenner spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.
20 Sa’ad da Abner wanda yake tare da mutane ashirin suka zo wurin Dawuda a Hebron, Dawuda ya shirya masa liyafa tare da mutanensa.
And Abenner came to David to Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men with him a banquet of wine.
21 Sai Abner ya ce wa Dawuda, “Bari in tafi nan da nan in tattara dukan Isra’ila wa ranka yă daɗe, sarki, saboda su yi alkawari da kai, ka kuma ka yi mulki bisa dukansu yadda ranka yake so.” Saboda haka Dawuda ya sallami Abner, ya kuwa tafi lafiya.
And Abenner said to David, I will arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will make with him a covenant, and thou shalt reign over all whom thy soul desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed in peace.
22 Ba a jima ba sai mutanen Dawuda da Yowab suka dawo daga hari. Suka kawo ganima da yawa tare da su. Abner kuwa ya riga ya bar Dawuda a Hebron, domin Dawuda ya sallame shi, shi kuma ya tafi lafiya.
And, behold, the servants of David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent him away, and he had departed in peace.
23 Sa’ad da Yowab da dukan sojoji suka dawo, aka gaya masa cewa Abner ɗan Ner ya zo wurin sarki, sarki kuwa ya sallame shi, ya kuma tafi lafiya.
And Joab and all his army came, and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to David, and David has let him go, and he has departed in peace.
24 Sai Yowab ya je wurin sarki ya ce, “Me ke nan ka yi? Abner ya zo wurinka. Don me ka ƙyale shi yă tafi? Ga shi kuwa ya tafi!
And Joab went in to the king, and said, What [is] this [that] thou hast done? behold, Abenner came to thee; and why hast thou let him go, and he has departed in peace?
25 Ka san Abner ɗan Ner ya zo ne yă ruɗe ka, yă ga fitarka da shigarka, yă kuma binciki kome da kake yi.”
Knowest thou not the mischief of Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all things that thou doest?
26 Yowab ya tashi daga gaban Dawuda ya tafi ya aika manzanni su bi Abner. Suka same shi a rijiyar Sira suka komo da shi, Dawuda kuwa bai sani ba.
And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after [him]; and they bring him back from the well of Seiram: but David knew [it] not.
27 To, da Abner ya komo Hebron, Yowab ya ratse da shi zuwa hanyar shigar gari kamar zai gana da shi a kaɗaice. Amma a can ya soki Abner a ciki, ya kashe shi don yă rama mutuwar ɗan’uwansa Asahel.
And he brought back Abenner to Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him, laying wait for him: and he smote him there in the loins, and he died for the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.
28 Daga baya, Dawuda ya ji labarin sai ya ce, “Ni da masarautata har abada ba mu da laifi a gaban Ubangiji game da jinin Abner ɗan Ner.
And David heard [of it] afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.
29 Alhakin jininsa yă kasance a kan Yowab da kuma a kan dukan iyalin mahaifinsa! Kada gidan Yowab yă rasa mai ɗiga, ko kuturu, ko mai jingina ga sanda, ko wanda aka kashe da takobi, ko kuma wanda ba shi da abinci.”
Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be wanting of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.
30 (Yowab da ɗan’uwansa Abishai suka kashe Abner don yă kashe ɗan’uwansu Asahel a yaƙin Gibeyon.)
For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he slew Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle.
31 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya ce wa Yowab da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi, “Ku yayyage rigunarku, ku sa tsummoki, ku yi tafiya kuna kuka a gaban Abner.” Sarki Dawuda kansa ya bi masu ɗauke da gawar daga baya.
And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.
32 Suka binne Abner a Hebron, sarki kuwa ya ɗaga murya ya yi kuka a kabarin Abner.
And they bury Abenner in Chebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the people wept for Abenner.
33 Sarki ya kuma yi wannan waƙar makoki domin Abner ya ce, “Daidai ne Abner yă mutu, kamar yadda marasa bin doka suke mutuwa?
And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?
34 Hannuwanka ba a daure suke ba, ƙafafunka ba a tabaibaye suke ba. Ka mutu kamar waɗanda suke mutuwa a hannun mugaye.” Sai dukan mutane suka sāke fashe da kuka saboda shi.
Thy hands were not bound, and thy feet [were] not [put] in fetters: [one] brought [thee] not near as Nabal; thou didst fall before children of iniquity.
35 Sa’an nan duk suka zo suka roƙi Dawuda yă ci wani abu tun rana ba tă fāɗi ba; amma Dawuda ya rantse ya ce, “Bari Allah yă hukunta ni, in na ɗanɗana abinci ko wani abu kafin rana ta fāɗi!”
And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.
36 Dukan mutane suka lura suka kuma ji daɗi ƙwarai, tabbatacce kome da sarki ya yi, ya gamshe su.
And all the people took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight.
37 Saboda haka a ranar dukan mutane da dukan Isra’ila suka gane sarki ba shi da hannu a kisan Abner ɗan Ner.
So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to slay Abenner the son of Ner.
38 Sa’an nan sarki ya ce wa mutanensa, “Ba ku gane cewa ɗan sarki kuma babban mutum ya mutu a ƙasar Isra’ila a yau ba?
And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?
39 A yau, ko da yake ni naɗaɗɗen sarki ne, duk da haka na raunana, kuma waɗannan’ya’yan Zeruhiya sun fi ƙarfina. Ubangiji yă sāka wa mai aikata mugunta da muguntar da ya aikata!”
And that I am this day a [mere] kinsman [of his], and [as it were] a subject; but these men the sons of Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
