2 Sama’ila 6
1 Dawuda ya sāke tattara zaɓaɓɓun mutanen Isra’ila, dubu talatin.
Then David chose 30,000 Israeli men and gathered them together.
2 Shi, da dukan mutanensa suka tashi daga Ba’ala-Yahuda don su hauro da akwatin alkawarin Allah, wanda ake kira da SunanUbangiji Maɗaukaki, wanda yake zama a tsakanin kerubobin da suke a kan akwatin alkawarin.
He led them to the place in Judah [formerly] called Baalah, [now called Kiriath-Jearim]. They went in order to bring from there [to Jerusalem] the sacred chest, which had the name of Yahweh, the leader of the armies of [the angels in] heaven, written on it, and which had the [statues of the] winged creatures on top of it. Between those statues was where Yahweh spoke messages about ruling his people [MTY].
3 Suka ɗauko akwatin alkawarin Allah a sabuwar keken yaƙi, suka kawo shi daga gidan Abinadab, wanda yake bisa tudu. Uzza da Ahiyo,’ya’yan Abinadab maza, suka bi da keken yaƙin da akwatin alkawarin Allah yake ciki suka bi da keken yaƙin
The sacred chest was in the house of Abinadab, on top of a hill. They went there, and they put the chest on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio, the two sons of Abinadab, were guiding [the oxen that were pulling the cart].
4 da akwatin alkawarin Allah yake ciki. Ahiyo kuwa yana tafiya a gaban Abinadab.
Uzzah walked alongside the cart, and Ahio walked in front of it.
5 Dawuda da dukan gidan Isra’ila suka yi biki sosai da dukan ƙarfinsu a gaban Ubangiji, da waƙoƙi, da molaye, da garayu, da ganguna, da kacau-kacau da kuma kuge.
David and all the Israeli men were celebrating in God’s presence, singing with all their strength and [playing] lyres and harps, and beating tambourines, and clashing castanets and cymbals.
6 Da suka kai masussukar Nakon, sai Uzza ya miƙa hannu don yă riƙe akwatin alkawarin Allah, gama shanun sun yi tuntuɓe.
But when they came to the place where Nacon threshed grain, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah put his hand on the sacred chest to (steady it/prevent it from falling [off the cart]).
7 Fushin Ubangiji kuwa ya ƙuna a kan Uzza domin aikin rashin bangirma, saboda haka Allah ya buge shi ya kuma mutu a can kusa da akwatin alkawarin Allah.
Yahweh immediately became very angry with Uzzah, and he killed him right there alongside the sacred chest, because he had touched the chest, [and Yahweh had commanded that only the descendants of Levi who help the priests should touch the sacred chest].
8 Ran Dawuda ya ɓace gama fushin Ubangiji ya ɓarke a kan Uzza. Shi ya sa har wa yau ana kira wurin Ferez Uzza.
David was angry because Yahweh had punished Uzzah. So ever since that time, that place has been called ‘The Punishment of Uzzah’.
9 Dawuda ya ji tsoron Ubangiji a ranar, sai ya ce, “Yaya akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji zai iya zuwa wurina?”
David was [also] afraid of [what else] Yahweh [would do to punish them], so he said, “(How can I take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem]?/I am afraid to take the sacred chest with me [to Jerusalem].)” [RHQ]
10 Bai so yă ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji yă kasance tare da shi a Birnin Dawuda ba. A maimakon haka sai ya kai shi gidan Obed-Edom mutumin Gat.
So he did not want to take the sacred chest to Jerusalem. Instead, they took it to another place; they took it to the house of Obed-Edom, from Gath [city].
11 Akwatin Alkawarin Ubangiji ya kasance a gidan Obed-Edom mutumin Gat har tsawon wata uku, Ubangiji kuwa ya albarkace shi da dukan iyalinsa.
They left the sacred chest in the house of Obed-Edom for three months, and [during that time] Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and his family.
12 To, sai aka faɗa wa Sarki Dawuda cewa, “Ubangiji ya sa wa gidan Obed-Edom albarka da dukan abin da yake da shi, saboda akwatin alkawarin Allah.” Saboda haka sai Dawuda ya gangara ya hauro da akwatin alkawarin Allah daga gidan Obed-Edom zuwa Birnin Dawuda da farin ciki.
Later, people told David, “Yahweh has blessed Obed-Edom and his family because [he is taking care] of the sacred chest!” When David heard that, he [and some other men] went to Obed-Edom’s house, and very joyfully brought the sacred chest from there to Jerusalem.
13 Sa’ad da waɗanda suke ɗaukan akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji suka yi tafiya taki shida, sai yă yi hadayar bijimi da saniya mai ƙiba.
[This time, descendants of Levi] were carrying the sacred chest, but when they had walked only six steps, they stopped, and there David killed a bull and a fat calf, and offered them to Yahweh for a sacrifice.
14 Dawuda, sanye da efod lilin, ya yi ta rawa a gaban Ubangiji da dukan ƙarfinsa,
David was wearing [only] a linen cloth wrapped around his waist, and was dancing very energetically to honor Yahweh.
15 yayinda shi da dukan gidan Isra’ila suka hauro da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji da sowa da kuma busar ƙahoni.
David and the Israeli men took the sacred chest up [to Jerusalem], shouting [loudly] and blowing trumpets.
16 Sa’ad da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji ya shiga Birnin Dawuda, sai Mikal’yar Shawulu ta leƙa ta taga ta ga Dawuda sarki yana tsalle, yana rawa a gaban Ubangiji, sai ta rena shi a zuciyarta.
While they were carrying the sacred chest into the city, [David’s wife] Michal, who was Saul’s daughter, looked out the window [of her house]. She saw King David leaping and dancing to honor Yahweh. So she was disgusted with him.
17 Suka kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, aka ajiye shi a inda aka shirya masa a cikin tentin da Dawuda ya shirya dominsa. Dawuda kuma ya miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta salama a gaban Ubangiji.
They brought the sacred chest into the tent that David had erected for it. Then David gave to Yahweh offerings to be completely burned [on an altar], and other offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
18 Bayan ya gama yin hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta salama, sai ya albarkaci mutane a cikin sunan Ubangiji Maɗaukaki.
When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he asked Yahweh, the Commander of the armies [of the angels], to bless the people.
19 Sa’an nan ya rarraba abinci, da ƙosai, dabino, da waina ga kowane mutum a cikin dukan jama’ar Isra’ila, maza da mata. Dukan mutane kuwa suka watse zuwa gidajensu.
He also distributed food to all the people. To each Israeli man and woman he gave a loaf of bread, some meat, and a raisin cake. Then all the people returned to their homes.
20 Da Dawuda ya koma gida don yă sa wa gidansa albarka, sai Mikal’yar Shawulu ta fito don tă tarye shi, sai ta ce, “Tabbas sarkin Isra’ila ya fiffita kansa yau, ya tuɓe a gaban bayinsa’yan mata, kamar yadda duk marar kunya yakan yi!”
When David went home to [ask Yahweh to] bless his family, his wife Michal came out to meet him. She said to him, “Maybe you, the king of Israel, [think that you] [IRO] were honoring yourself today, but really, you acted like a fool, uncovering yourself while the female servants of your officials were watching!”
21 Dawuda ya ce wa Mikal, “Na yi rawana domin in girmama Ubangiji ne, wanda ya zaɓe ni a maimakon mahaifinki ko wani daga cikin dukan gidansa, shi ne kuma ya sa ni sarki a kan Isra’ila, mutanen Ubangiji, zan yi biki a gaban Ubangiji.
David replied to Michal, “[I was doing that] to honor Yahweh, who chose me instead of your father and other members of his family, to be the king of the Israeli people, the people who belong to Yahweh. And I will [continue to] dance to honor Yahweh!
22 Zan ma mai da kaina abin reni fiye da haka, za a kuma zama abin reni a gare ki. Amma waɗannan bayi’yan matan da kika yi magana a kai, za su gan ni da martaba.”
[Even though you think that what I did] was disgraceful, I will continue to do it even more. You may despise me [because of what I did], but the women whom you were talking about will honor me!”
23 Mikal’yar Shawulu kuwa ba tă haifi ɗa ba har mutuwarta.
[As a result, ] Saul’s daughter Michal never gave birth to any children.
