1 Imilando 11
1 Bonke abako-Israyeli baya kuDavida eHebhroni bafika bathi: “Thina siyinyama yakho legazi lakho.
Dukan Isra’ila fa suka taru wurin Dawuda a Hebron suka ce, “Mu jiki da jininka ne.
2 Esikhathini esedlulayo, lanxa uSawuli eseseyinkosi, wena nguwe owawukhokhela u-Israyeli emkhankasweni wezimpi. Njalo uThixo uNkulunkulu wakho wathi kuwe, ‘Wena uzakuba ngumelusi wabantu bami u-Israyeli, njalo uzakuba ngumbusi wabo.’”
A dā, ko a lokacin da Shawulu yake sarki, ai, kai ne kake shugabantar Isra’ila a yaƙe-yaƙe. Kuma Ubangiji Allahnka ya ce maka, ‘Za ka zama makiyayin mutanena Isra’ila, za ka kuma zama mai mulkinsu.’”
3 Kwathi abadala bonke bako-Israyeli sebefikile enkosini uDavida eHebhroni, wenza isivumelwano labo eHebhroni phambi kukaThixo, basebegcoba uDavida ukuba abe yinkosi ko-Israyeli, njengesithembiso sikaThixo asenza ngoSamuyeli.
Sa’ad da dukan dattawan Isra’ila suka zo wurin Sarki Dawuda a Hebron, suka yi yarjejjeniya da shi a gaban Ubangiji, suka kuwa shafe Dawuda ya zama sarki a bisa Isra’ila, yadda Ubangiji ya yi alkawari ta wurin Sama’ila.
4 UDavida labo bonke abako-Israyeli baya eJerusalema (kusitsho iJebusi). AmaJebusi ayehlala khona
Dawuda tare da dukan Isra’ilawa suka taka zuwa Urushalima (wato, Yebus). Yebusiyawan da suke zama a wurin
5 athi kuDavida, “Kawuyikungena lapha.” Kodwa lanxa kunjalo, uDavida wayithumba inqaba yaseZiyoni, uMuzi kaDavida.
suka ce wa Dawuda, “Ba za ka shiga nan ba.” Duk da haka, Dawuda ya ci kagarar Sihiyona, Birnin Dawuda.
6 UDavida wayethe, “Ozakhokhela ekuhlaseleni amaJebusi uzakuba nguMlawuli omkhulu wempi.” UJowabi indodana kaZeruya nguye owaqala ukuya khona, ngakho wazuza ubukhokheli.
Dawuda ya ce, “Duk wanda ya jagoranci yaƙi a kan Yebusiyawa zai zama babban shugaban mayaƙa.” Yowab ɗan Zeruhiya ya fara haurawa, ta haka ya zama shugaba.
7 UDavida wasehlala enqabeni, yikho yathiwa ibizo lokuthi nguMuzi kaDavida.
Dawuda zauna a kagarar, ta haka aka kira ta Birnin Dawuda.
8 Wakha idolobho inxa zonke kusukela emadundulwini kuze kuyefinyelela emidulini ehonqolozeleyo, ngalesosikhathi uJowabi esakha evuselela umuzi.
Sai ya gina birni kewaye da shi, daga madogaran gini zuwa katangar da take kewaye, yayinda Yowab ya maido da sauran birnin.
9 UDavida waqhubeka njalo esiba lamandla, ngoba uThixo uSomandla wayelaye.
Dawuda kuwa ya ƙara ƙarfi, domin Ubangiji Maɗaukaki yana tare da shi.
10 Lezi zinduna zamaqhawe kaDavida ezazimsekele ngokuqinileyo embusweni kanye laye wonke u-Israyeli, ukuba abe yinkosi, njengokuthembisa kukaThixo.
Waɗannan su ne manyan jarumawan Dawuda, su ne, tare da dukan Isra’ila, suka ba wa mulkinsa goyon baya mai ƙarfi da ya kai bisa dukan ƙasar, yadda Ubangiji ya yi alkawari.
11 Lolu yiluhlu lwalawo maqhawe kaDavida: UJashobheyamu, umHakhimoni, wayengumlawuli wezikhulu; waphakamisela amadoda angamakhulu amathathu umkhonto wakhe, ababulalayo ekuhlaseleni kunye.
Ga jerin sunayen jarumawan Dawuda. Yashobeyam wani ɗan Hakmoni, shi ne babban shugaba; ya ɗaga māshinsa a kan mutum ɗari uku, waɗanda ya kashe a ƙarawa guda kawai.
12 Yena elandelwa ngu-Eliyazari indodana kaDodo umʼAhohi omunye wamaqhawe amathathu.
Biye da shi, shi ne Eleyazar ɗan Dodo mutumin Aho, ɗaya daga cikin jarumawa uku.
13 WayeloDavida ePhasi Damimi, ekuhlomeni kwamaFilistiya elungiselela ukudibana empini. Endaweni ethile kwakulensimu yebhali, amabutho abaleka ebalekela amaFilistiya.
Yana tare da Dawuda a Fas Dammim sa’ad da Filistiyawa suka taru can don yaƙi. A wani wuri inda akwai gona cike da sha’ir, sojoji suka gudu daga Filistiyawa.
14 Kodwa bona bema bajama phakathi kwensimu. Bayivikela bawabulala amaFilistiya, uThixo wabapha ukunqoba okukhulu.
Sai shi da Dawuda suka shiga gonar sha’ir ɗin, suka tsaya ciki don su tsare ta. Suka ragargaza Filistiyawa, Ubangiji kuma ya kawo babban nasara.
15 Izinduna ezintathu kwezingamatshumi amathathu zaya edwaleni kuDavida ebhalwini lwase-Adulami, ngalesosikhathi amanye amaFilistiya ayebuthene eSigodini saseRefayi.
Wata rana uku cikin manyan mutanen nan talatin suka gangara wurin Dawuda zuwa dutse a kogon Adullam, yayinda ƙungiyar Filistiyawa suke sansani a Kwarin Refayim.
16 Ngalesosikhathi uDavida wayesenqabeni, iviyo lamabutho amaFilistiya laliseBhethilehema.
A lokacin Dawuda yana cikin mafaka, sojojin Filistiyawa kuma suna a Betlehem.
17 UDavida womela amanzi wasesithi, “Oh, sengathi kungaba lomuntu ongangikhela amanzi okunatha emthonjeni oseduze lesango laseBhethilehema!”
Dawuda ya ji marmarin ruwan sha sai ya ce, “Kash, a ce wani zai sami mini ruwan sha daga rijiya kusa da ƙofar Betlehem mana!”
18 Ngakho abathathu laba badabula phakathi kweviyo lamaFilistiya bayakukha amanzi eduzane lesango laseBhethilehema bayawanika uDavida. Kodwa wala ukuwanatha, wakhetha ukuwathululela phambi kukaThixo.
Sai Ukun suka kutsa kai cikin sansanin Filistiyawa, suka ja ruwa daga rijiyar da take kusa da ƙofar Betlehem suka ɗauko shi suka kawo wa Dawuda. Amma ya ƙi yă sha; a maimako, sai ya zubar da shi a gaban Ubangiji.
19 Wasesithi, “UNkulunkulu kangangivumeli ukukwenza lokhu! Kufanele yini ukuthi nginathe igazi lalababantu abanikele impilo yabo engozini bewaletha?” Ngoba babeka impilo zabo engozini bewaletha, uDavida kawanathanga. Lezi zaziyizenzo zobuqhawe zalawomabutho womathathu.
Ya ce, “Allah yă sawwaƙe in yi haka, ya kamata in sha jinin waɗannan mutanen da suka yi kasai da rayukansu?” Domin sun yi kasai da rayukansu don su dawo da shi, Dawuda bai sha shi ba. Irin abubuwan da jarumawa ukun nan suka yi ke nan.
20 U-Abhishayi umfowabo kaJowabi wayeyinduna yabaThathu labo. Waphakamisela umkhonto wakhe phezu kwabangamakhulu amathathu, ababulalayo, ngakho waba lodumo njengabaThathu.
Abishai ɗan’uwan Yowab shi ma babba ne cikin Ukun nan. Ya ɗaga māshinsa a kan mutum ɗari uku, waɗanda ya kashe, ya kuma zama sananne kamar Ukun.
21 Waba lodumo oluphindwe kabili phezu kwalaba abaThathu waze waba ngumlawuli wabo, loba engazange abe phakathi kwabo.
Aka ninka girmama shi bisa Ukun, sai ya zama shugaba, ko da yake ba a haɗa shi a cikinsu ba.
22 UBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada wayeliqhawe elilesibindi laseKhabhizeli, elenza izenzo zobuqhawe obukhulu. Wabulala amaqhawe amaMowabi amabili ayezintshantshu ekulweni. Wake wangena emgodini wabulala isilwane mhla kulongqwaqwane.
Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada shi ma wani barden yaƙi ne daga Kabzeyel, wanda ya yi manyan abubuwa. Ya bugi gwanayen Mowab biyu. Ya kuma gangara zuwa cikin rami a ranar da aka yi dusar ƙanƙara ya kashe zaki.
23 Wabulala umGibhithe owayemude okwezingalo eyisikhombisa njalo eqatha. Lanxa umGibhithe wayephethe umkhonto esandleni kwakungani uphethe umkhonto onjengogodo lomaluki, uBhenayiya waqondana laye ngenduku. Wahluthuna umkhonto esandleni somGibhithe wambulala ngawo umkhonto wakhe.
Ya kuma kashe wani mutumin Masar mai tsayi ƙafa bakwai da rabi. Ko da yake mutumin Masar yana da māshi kamar sandan masaƙa a hannunsa, Benahiya ya yaƙe shi da kulki. Ya ƙwace māshin daga hannun mutumin Masar ya kuma kashe shi da māshin nan nasa.
24 Lezi zaziyizenzo zobuqhawe zikaBhenaya indodana kaJehoyada, laye futhi wayedume njengamaqhawe amathathu.
Irin abubuwan da Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya yi ke nan; shi ma sananne ne kamar waɗannan jarumawa uku.
25 Wayehlonitshwa kakhulu ukwedlula bonke abangamatshumi amathathu, kodwa wayengabalwa kanye labaThathu. UDavida wambeka ukuba abe ngumphathi wabalindi bakhe.
Aka ɗauka shi da bangirma fiye da Talatin nan, amma ba a haɗa shi cikin Ukun ba. Dawuda kuwa ya sa shi yă lura da masu tsaron lafiyarsa.
