2 USamuyeli 21
1 Kwasekusiba khona indlala ensukwini zikaDavida iminyaka emithathu, umnyaka ngomnyaka ilandelana; uDavida wadinga ubuso beNkosi. INkosi yasisithi: Kungenxa kaSawuli langenxa yendlu yakhe yegazi, ngoba wabulala amaGibeyoni.
Lokacin da Dawuda yake mulki, an yi yunwa shekara uku a jere; saboda haka Dawuda ya nemi nufin Ubangiji. Ubangiji ya ce, “Saboda Shawulu ne da alhakin jinin gidansa; domin ya kashe Gibeyonawa.”
2 Ngakho inkosi yabiza amaGibeyoni yathi kuwo: (AmaGibeyoni-ke ayengeyisiwo awabantwana bakoIsrayeli, kodwa ayengawensali yamaAmori; njalo abantwana bakoIsrayeli babefungile kuwo; uSawuli wasedinga ukuwatshaya ekutshisekeleni kwakhe abantwana bakoIsrayeli loJuda.)
Sai sarki ya tattara Gibeyonawa ya yi musu magana. (To, Gibeyonawa ba sashen Isra’ilawa ba ne, amma mutanen Amoriyawa ne da suka ragu, waɗanda Isra’ila ta rantse za tă bari da rai, amma Shawulu cikin kishinsa don Isra’ila da Yahuda ya yi ƙoƙari yă hallaka su duka.)
3 Ngakho uDavida wathi kumaGibeyoni: Ngingalenzelani? Ngingayenza ngani inhlawulo yokuthula ukuze libusise ilifa leNkosi?
Dawuda ya ce wa Gibeyonawa, “Me zan yi muku? Yaya zan yi kafara domin ku sa wa masu gādon Ubangiji albarka?”
4 AmaGibeyoni asesithi kuye: Kayisindaba yesiliva kumbe igolide loSawuli lendlu yakhe; futhi kakusikwethu ukubulala umuntu koIsrayeli. Wasesithi: Lokho elikutshoyo ngizalenzela khona.
Gibeyonawa suka ce, “Ba mu da’yanci mu nemi zinariya ko azurfa daga wurin Shawulu ko gidansa, ba mu kuwa da wani’yanci mu sa a kashe wani a Isra’ila.” Dawuda ya ce, “To, me kuke so in yi muku?”
5 Basebesithi enkosini: Umuntu owasiqedayo, owaceba emelene lathi ukuthi sichithwe singasali lakuwuphi umngcele wakoIsrayeli,
Suka ce wa sarki, “Mutumin da ya hallaka mu ya kuma yi mana makirci don kada mu kasance tare da Isra’ilawa ko’ina a cikin ƙauyukansu,
6 kasinikwe amadoda ayisikhombisa emadodaneni akhe, njalo siwaphanyekele iNkosi eGibeya kaSawuli, okhethiweyo weNkosi. Inkosi yasisithi: Mina ngizalipha.
a ba mu zuriyarsa maza bakwai, mu kashe su, mu kuma rataye jikunansu a gaban Ubangiji a Gibeya na Shawulu wannan zaɓaɓɓen Ubangiji.” Sai sarki ya ce, “Zan ba ku su.”
7 Kodwa inkosi yamyekela uMefiboshethi indodana kaJonathani indodana kaSawuli ngenxa yesifungo seNkosi esasiphakathi kwabo, phakathi kukaDavida loJonathani indodana kaSawuli.
Sarki ya ware Mefiboshet ɗan Yonatan jikan Shawulu, saboda rantsuwar da take tsakanin Dawuda da Yonatan, ɗan Shawulu a gaban Ubangiji.
8 Kodwa inkosi yathatha amadodana amabili kaRizipa indodakazi kaAya ayewazalele uSawuli, uArimoni loMefiboshethi, lamadodana amahlanu kadadewabo kaMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli ayewazalele uAdriyeli indodana kaBarizilayi umMehola,
Amma sarki ya ɗauki Armoni da Mefiboshet,’ya’ya biyu maza waɗanda Rizfa’yar Aiya ta haifa wa Shawulu, tare da’ya’ya maza biyar na Merab’yar Shawulu, waɗanda ta haifa wa Adriyel ɗan Barzillai, mutumin Mehola.
9 yabanikela esandleni samaGibeyoni, asebaphanyeka entabeni phambi kweNkosi, njalo abayisikhombisa bawa kanyekanye. Babulawa ensukwini zokuvuna, ensukwini zakuqala ekuqaleni kokuvunwa kwebhali.
Ya ba da su ga Gibeyonawa, waɗanda suka kashe su, suka kuma rataye jikunansu a gaban Ubangiji. Dukan bakwai ɗin an kashe su gaba ɗaya; an kashe su a farkon kwanankin girbi, daidai lokacin fara girbin sha’ir.
10 URizipa indodakazi kaAya wasethatha isaka, wazendlalela lona phezu kwedwala, kusukela ekuqaleni kokuvuna kwaze kwathonta amanzi phezu kwabo evela emazulwini; kavumelanga inyoni zamazulu ukuthi zihlale phezu kwabo emini, lezilo zeganga ebusuku.
Rizfa’yar Aiya ta ɗauki tsumma ta yi wa kanta shimfiɗa a kan dutse. Tun daga farkon girbi har ruwa damina ya sauko a kan gawawwakin, ba tă yarda tsuntsayen sama su taɓa su da rana ko mugayen namun jeji da dare ba.
11 Kwasekubikelwa uDavida lokho uRizipa indodakazi kaAya, umfazi omncane kaSawuli, ayekwenzile.
Da aka gaya wa Dawuda abin da Rizfa’yar Aiya ƙwarƙwaran Shawulu ta yi,
12 UDavida wasehamba wayathatha amathambo kaSawuli lamathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe kubahlali beJabeshi-Gileyadi ababewebile emdangeni weBeti-Shani, lapho amaFilisti ayebaphanyeke khona mhla amaFilisti etshaya uSawuli eGilibowa.
sai ya je ya kwashe ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan daga mutanen Yabesh Gileyad (Gama mutanen sun saci gawawwakin Shawulu da Yonatan daga inda Filistiyawa suka kakkafa su a kan itace a filin Bet-Shan, bayan da Filistiyawa suka kashe su a Gilbowa.)
13 Wasesenyusa esuka lapho amathambo kaSawuli lamathambo kaJonathani indodana yakhe; basebeqoqa amathambo awababephanyekiwe.
Dawuda ya kawo ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan daga can, a kuma aka tattara dukan ƙasusuwan waɗanda Gibeyonawan suka kashe, suka kuma rataye.
14 Basebewangcwaba amathambo kaSawuli lakaJonathani indodana yakhe elizweni lakoBhenjamini eZela, engcwabeni likaKishi uyise. Benza konke inkosi eyayibalaye khona. Njalo emva kwalokho uNkulunkulu wancengeka ngenxa yelizwe.
Suka binne ƙasusuwan Shawulu da na ɗansa Yonatan a kabarin Kish, mahaifin Shawulu, a Zela a Benyamin. Suka kuma yi kome da sarki ya umarta. Bayan wannan Allah ya ji addu’arsu a madadin ƙasar.
15 AmaFilisti abuye aba lempi futhi loIsrayeli; uDavida wasesehla lenceku zakhe kanye laye, njalo balwa lamaFilisti; uDavida wasedinwa.
Har yanzu yaƙi ya sāke ɓarke tsakanin Filistiyawa da Isra’ila. Sai Dawuda ya gangara tare da mutanensa don su yaƙi Filistiyawa, gajiya ta kama shi.
16 UIshibi-Benobi owayengowabantwana besiqhwaga, osisindo somkhonto wakhe sasingamashekeli angamakhulu amathathu ethusi, wayebhince inkemba entsha, wathi uzamtshaya uDavida.
Ishbi-Benob kuwa, wani daga zuriyar Rafa, wanda nauyin kan māshinsa na tagulla ya yi shekel ɗari uku, wanda yake kuma da sabon māshi, ya ce zai kashe Dawuda.
17 Kodwa uAbishayi indodana kaZeruya wamsiza, wamtshaya umFilisti wambulala. Khona abantu bakaDavida bafunga kuye besithi: Kawusayikuphuma impi lathi, hlezi ucitshe isibane sikaIsrayeli.
Amma Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ya kawo wa Dawuda gudummawa; ya bugi Bafilistin, ya kashe shi. Sa’an nan mutanen Dawuda suka rantse masa suka ce, “Ba za ka ƙara fita tare da mu wurin yaƙi ba, don kada fitilar Isra’ila tă mutu.”
18 Kwasekusithi emva kwalokhu kwaba lempi futhi lamaFilisti eGobi; khona uSibekayi umHusha watshaya uSafi, owayengowabantwana besiqhwaga.
Ana nan, sai aka sāke yin wani yaƙin da Filistiyawa, a Gob. A lokacin Sibbekai mutumin Husha ya kashe Saf, wani daga zuriyar Rafa.
19 Kwasekusiba lempi futhi lamaFilisti eGobi; uElihanani indodana kaJahari-Oregimi umBhethelehema, watshaya umfowabo kaGoliyathi umGiti, oluthi lomkhonto wakhe lwalunjengogodo lomaluki.
Sai aka sāke yin wani yaƙin da Filistiyawa a Gob, Elhanan ɗan Ya’are-Oregim mutumin Betlehem ya kashe Goliyat mutumin Gat, wanda girmar sandan māshinsa ta yi kama da taɓarya.
20 Njalo kwabuye kwaba lempi eGathi, lapho okwakulomuntu omude, owayeleminwe eyisithupha ezandleni zakhe, lamazwane ayisithupha ezinyaweni zakhe, kungamatshumi amabili lane ngenani; laye-ke wayezalelwe isiqhwaga.
Har wa yau a wani yaƙin da aka yi a Gat, akwai wani ƙaton mutum mai yatsotsi shida a kowane hannu, da kuma yatsotsi shida a kowane ƙafa, yatsotsi ashirin da huɗu ke nan. Shi ma daga zuriya Rafa ne.
21 Lapho eseyisa uIsrayeli, uJonathani indodana kaShimeya, umfowabo kaDavida, wamtshaya.
Da ya yi wa Isra’ila reni, sai Yonatan ɗan Shimeya, ɗan’uwa Dawuda, ya kashe shi.
22 Laba abane babezalelwe isiqhwaga eGathi; njalo bawa ngesandla sikaDavida langesandla senceku zakhe.
Waɗannan huɗu zuriyar Rafa ne a Gat, suka kuwa mutu ta hannu Dawuda da mutanensa.
