1 Kwathi emva kwesikhathi, inkosi yama-Amoni yafa, kwathi uHanuni indodana yayo waba yinkosi esikhundleni sayo.
Ana nan sai sarkin Ammonawa ya rasu, ɗansa Hanun kuwa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
2 UDavida wacabanga wathi, “Ngizakuba lomusa kuHanuni indodana kaNahashi, njengoyise owayelomusa kimi.” Ngakho uDavida wathuma izithunywa ukuyakhalela uHanuni ngoyise. Kwathi abantu bakaDavida sebefikile elizweni lama-Amoni,
Dawuda ya yi tunani a ransa ya ce, “Zan yi wa Hanun ɗan Nahash alheri kamar yadda mahaifinsa ya yi mini.” Saboda haka sai Dawuda ya aiki jakadu su yi masa ta’aziyyar mutuwar mahaifinsa. Sa’ad da mutanen Dawuda suka isa ƙasar Ammonawa,
3 izikhulu zama-Amoni zathi kuHanuni inkosi yazo, “Kambe ucabanga ukuthi uDavida uyamhlonipha uyihlo ngokuthuma izithunywa ukuthi zizokukhalela na? UDavida kazithumanga ukuba zizekhangela idolobho zilihlole njalo zihluthune umbuso na?”

4 Ngakho uHanuni wabamba izithunywa zikaDavida, waziphuca ingxenye yezindevu zomunye lomunye wabo, waquma izigqoko zazo phakathi ezinqeni, wasezixotsha.
Saboda haka Hanun ya kama mutanen Dawuda ya aske rabin gemun kowannensu, ya yayyage rigunarsu daidai ɗuwawu, sa’an nan ya sallame su.
5 Kwathi uDavida esekutsheliwe lokhu wathuma izithunywa ukuyahlangabeza abantu labo ngoba babeyangiswe kakhulu. Inkosi yathi, “Hlalani eJerikho indevu zenu zize zikhule beselibuya-ke.”
Sa’ad da aka gaya wa Dawuda game da wannan, sai ya aiki manzanni su taryi waɗannan mutanen da aka ci mutuncinsu, gama an wulaƙanta su ƙwarai. Sai sarki ya ce musu, “Ku dakata a Yeriko har sai gemunku ya sāke girma, sa’an nan ku dawo.”
6 Kwathi ama-Amoni esebonile ukuthi ayeseliphunga elibi emakhaleni kaDavida, aqhatsha izinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amabili zamabutho ama-Aramu ahamba ngezinyawo evela eBhethi-Rehobhi kanye leZobha, ndawonye lenkosi yaseMahakha labantu abayinkulungwane, labanye abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi lambili abavela eThobhi.
Da Ammonawa suka gane cewa Dawuda ya ji fushi da su sosai saboda abin da suka yi, sai suka yi hayar sojojin ƙasar Arameyawa dubu ashirin daga Bet Rehob da Aram-Zoba, suka kuma yi hayar sarkin Ma’aka tare da mutum dubu ɗaya, suka kuma yi hayar maza dubu goma sha biyu daga Tob.
7 Uthe ekuzwa lokho, uDavida wathumela uJowabi kanye lamabutho akhe wonke.
Da jin haka, Dawuda ya tura Yowab da dukan sojojin yaƙi.
8 Ama-Amoni aphuma amisa impi ekungeneni kwesango ledolobho lawo, lapho ama-Aramu aseZobha kanye leRehobhi labantu beThobhi kanye leMahakha babebodwa egangeni.
Ammonawa suka fita suka ja dāgār yaƙi a ƙofar shiga birninsu, yayinda Aram-Zoba, da na Rehob, da mutane Tob, da kuma na Ma’aka, suka ja tasu dāgār a karkara.
9 UJowabi wabona ukuthi kwakulamaviyo amabutho phambi kwakhe langemva kwakhe, ngakho wakhetha amanye amaqhawe athenjiweyo ko-Israyeli wabahlela ukuba bamelane lama-Aramu.
Yowab ya ga cewa an ja masa dāgār yaƙi gaba da baya; saboda haka sai ya zaɓi waɗansu shahararrun sojoji cikin Isra’ila, ya sa su gabza da Arameyawa.
10 Amanye amabutho ayesele wathi kawalawulwe ngu-Abhishayi umfowabo, wabahlela ukuthi bamelane lama-Amoni.
Ya sa sauran mutanen a ƙarƙashin Abishai ɗan’uwansa, ya sa su gabza da Ammonawa.
11 UJowabi wathi, “Nxa ama-Aramu elamandla kakhulu kulami, uzengihlenga; kodwa nxa ama-Amoni elamandla kakhulu kulawe, ngizakuzakuhlenga.
Yowab ya ce, “In Arameyawa suka fi ƙarfina, sai ku kawo mini gudummawa; amma in Ammonawa suka fi ƙarfinku, sai mu kawo muku gudummawa.
12 Qina, kasilwe ngesibindi silwela abantu bakithi lemizi kaNkulunkulu wethu. UThixo uzakwenza lokho okufaneleyo njengokubona kwakhe.”
Ku yi ƙarfin hali, mu kuma yi yaƙi da ƙarfin zuciya saboda mutanenmu da kuma birane Allahnmu. Ubangiji zai yi abin da yake da kyau a idanunsa.”
13 Ngakho uJowabi lamabutho ayelaye baqhubeka ukuba balwe lama-Aramu, asebaleka phambi kwakhe.
Sa’an nan Yowab da rundunar da take tare da shi suka ci gaba don su gabza da Arameyawa, Arameyawa kuwa suka gudu a gabansa.
14 Kuthe ama-Amoni ebona ukuthi ama-Aramu ayebaleka, ebaleka phambi kuka-Abhishayi aya phakathi kwedolobho. Ngakho uJowabi waphenduka ekulweni lama-Amoni waya eJerusalema.
Da Ammonawa suka ga Arameyawa suna gudu, sai su ma suka ruga da gudu a gaban Abishai, suka shiga cikin birni. Sa’an nan Yowab ya komo Urushalima daga wurin yaƙin da ya yi da Ammonawa.
15 Kwathi ama-Aramu ebona ukuthi ehlulwe ngama-Israyeli, aqoqana futhi.
Bayan Arameyawa suka ga Isra’ila ta ci su da yaƙi, sai suka sāke tattara kansu.
16 UHadadezeri wabiza ama-Aramu ayengaphetsheya koMfula uYufrathe; aya eHelamu loShobhakhi umlawuli wamabutho kaHadadezeri lamabutho ewakhokhele.
Hadadezer sarkin Zoba ya aika a kawo Arameyawan da suke ƙetaren Kogin Yuferites. Suka iso Helam a ƙarƙashin shugabancin Shobak, shugaban dukan sojojin Hadadezer.
17 Kwathi uDavida esekutsheliwe lokhu, waqoqa bonke abako-Israyeli, wachapha uJodani waya eHelamu. Ama-Aramu aviva ukuba ahlangane loDavida asesilwa laye.
Da aka gaya wa Dawuda wannan, sai ya tattara dukan Isra’ila, ya ƙetare Urdun, ya je Helam. Arameyawa suka ja dāgār yaƙinsu, suka kara da Dawuda.
18 Kodwa abaleka phambi kuka-Israyeli, njalo uDavida wabulala abatshayeli bezinqola zabo zempi abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa lamabutho ahamba ngezinyawo azinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane. Wagalela loShobhakhi umlawuli webutho lawo, wafela khonapho.
Amma Arameyawa suka gudu a gaban Isra’ila, Dawuda kuwa ya kashe mahayan keken yaƙinsu ɗari bakwai, da sojojin ƙasa dubu arba’in. Ya bugi Shobak, shugaban ƙungiyar sojansu ya kuwa mutu a can.
19 Kwathi amakhosi wonke ayezinceku zikaHadadezeri ebona ukuthi ayesehlulwe ngu-Israyeli, enza ukuthula labako-Israyeli aba ngaphansi kombuso wabo. Ngakho ama-Aramu esaba ukusiza ama-Amoni futhi.
Sa’ad da dukan sarakuna waɗanda suke abokan tarayya na Hadadezer suka ga Isra’ila sun ci su da yaƙi, sai suka yi sulhu da Isra’ilawa, suka kuma zama bayinsu. Wannan ya sa Arameyawa suka ji tsoron ƙara kai wa Ammonawa gudummawa.
