2 Sama’ila 23
1 Waɗannan su ne kalmomin Dawuda na ƙarshe. “Abubuwan da Dawuda ɗan Yesse ya yi magana a kai, abubuwan da mutumin da Mafi Ɗaukaka ya girmama. Mutumin da Allah na Yaƙub ya zaɓa yă zama sarki, wanda kuma yake mawaƙi waƙoƙin Isra’ila.
Now these are the last words of David. David the son of Jesse says, the man who was raised on high says, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 “Ruhun Ubangiji ya yi magana ta wurina; maganarsa tana a harshena.
“Yahweh’s Spirit spoke by me. His word was on my tongue.
3 Allah na Isra’ila ya yi magana, Dutsen Isra’ila ya ce mini, ‘Sa’ad da wani ya yi mulkin mutane da adalci, sa’ad da ya yi mulki da tsoron Allah,
The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spoke to me, ‘One who rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of God,
4 yana kama da hasken safiya a safiya marar girgije, kamar haske bayan ruwan sama da yakan sa ciyawa ta tsiro daga ƙasa.’
shall be as the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain.’
5 “Ashe, gidana bai daidaita da Allah ba? Ashe, Allah bai yi madawwamiyar yarjejjeniya da ni shiryayye da ɗaurarre a kowane sashi ba? Ba zai kawo ga cikar cetona yă kuma biya duk bukatuna ba?
Isn’t my house so with God? Yet he has made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure, for it is all my salvation and all my desire. Won’t he make it grow?
6 Amma za a jefar da masu mugunta duka kamar ƙayayyuwan da ba a tattara da hannu.
But all the ungodly will be as thorns to be thrust away, because they can’t be taken with the hand.
7 Duk wanda ya taɓa ƙaya yakan yi amfani da wani ƙarfe ne ko sandar māshi; akan ƙone su inda suke a zube.”
The man who touches them must be armed with iron and the staff of a spear. They will be utterly burned with fire in their place.”
8 Waɗannan su ne sunayen jarumawan Dawuda. Yosheb-Basshebet, mutumin Takemon ɗaya daga cikin shugabanni Uku; ya ɗaga māshinsa ya kashe mutum ɗari takwas a lokaci guda.
These are the names of the mighty men whom David had: Josheb Basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; he was called Adino the Eznite, who killed eight hundred at one time.
9 Na biye da shi a matsayi cikin jarumawa ukun nan, shi ne Eleyazar ɗan Dodo, mutumin Aho. Eleyazar ya kasance tare da Dawuda sa’ad da suka fuskanci Filistiyawa waɗanda suka taru a Fas Dammim don yaƙi. Mutanen Isra’ila suka gudu,
After him was Eleazar the son of Dodai the son of an Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel had gone away.
10 amma ya yi tsayi daka, ya bugi Filistiyawa sai da hannunsa ya gaji har ya liƙe wa māshinsa. Ubangiji kuwa ya sa aka yi babban nasara a ranar. Sauran sojoji suka komo wurin Eleyazar, don kawai su washe ganima.
He arose and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand froze to the sword; and Yahweh worked a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to take plunder.
11 Na biye da Agiyi a matsayi, shi ne Shamma ɗan Agi, mutumin Harar. Sa’ad da Filistiyawa suka taru a wani wurin da take gona cike da waken barewa, sai rundunar Isra’ila suka gudu daga Filistiyawa.
After him was Shammah the son of Agee a Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a plot of ground full of lentils; and the people fled from the Philistines.
12 Amma Shamma ya yi tsayi daka a tsakiyar gonar. Ya kāre ta, ya kuma bugi Filistiyawa, Ubangiji kuwa ya sa aka yi babban nasara.
But he stood in the middle of the plot and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh worked a great victory.
13 A lokacin girbi, uku daga cikin shugabanni talatin suka gangaro zuwa wurin Dawuda a kogon Adullam. A lokacin kuwa sojojin Filistiyawa sun kafa sansani a Kwarin Refayim.
Three of the thirty chief men went down, and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam; and the troop of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.
14 Dawuda kuwa yana a mafaka. Wata ƙungiyar sojojin Filistiyawa kuma suna Betlehem.
David was then in the stronghold; and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
15 Dawuda ya ji ƙishirwa, sai ya ce, “Kash, da a ce wani yă samo mini ruwa daga rijiyar da take kusa da bakin ƙofar Betlehem mana!”
David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
16 Sai jarumawa ukun nan suka yi kukan ƙura, suka sheƙa a guje suka ratsa cikin sansanin Filistiyawa, suka ɗebo ruwa daga rijiyar da take kusa da bakin ƙofar Betlehem, suka kawo wa Dawuda. Amma Dawuda ya ƙi yă sha; a maimako sai ya zuba shi a gaban Ubangiji.
The three mighty men broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate and took it and brought it to David; but he would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh.
17 Sai ya ce, “Ubangiji yă sawwaƙe, in yi sha! Ba jinin mutanen da suka tafi a bakin ransu ba ne?” Dawuda kuwa bai sha ruwan ba. Irin abubuwan da jarumawa ukun nan suka yi ke nan.
He said, “Be it far from me, Yahweh, that I should do this! Isn’t this the blood of the men who risked their lives to go?” Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.
18 Abishai, ɗan’uwan Yowab, ɗan Zeruhiya shi shugaban Ukun nan. Ya ɗauki māshinsa ya kashe mutane ɗari uku, ta haka ya zama sananne kamar Ukun nan.
Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.
19 Ashe, ba a girmama shi fiye da Ukun ba? Ya zama komandansu, ko da yake ba a haɗa shi a cikinsu ba.
Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.
20 Benahiya, ɗan Yehohiyada mutumin Kabzeyel shi ma jarumi ne sosai, ya yi nasarori masu yawa. Ya bugi ƙwararrun jarumawan Mowab guda biyu. Ya kuma shiga rami wata ranar da ake ƙanƙara, ya kashe zaki.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab. He also went down and killed a lion in the middle of a pit in a time of snow.
21 Ya kuma buge wani jibgaggen mutumin Masar. Duk da māshin da mutumin Masar yana riƙe a hannunsa, Benahiya ya kai masa hari da kulki. Ya ƙwace māshin daga hannunsa, ya kuma kashe shi da māshin.
He killed a huge Egyptian, and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.
22 Irin nasarorin da Benahiya ɗan Yehohiyada ya yi ke nan; shi ma jarumi ne sosai kamar jarumawan nan uku.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did these things, and had a name among the three mighty men.
23 Aka fi ba shi girma fiye da talatin ɗin nan, amma ba ya cikin ukun. Dawuda ya sa shi yă zama ɗaya daga cikin masu tsaron lafiyarsa.
He was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three. David set him over his guard.
