1 Samuel 27
1 And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should escape into the land of the Philistines, and Saul will despair of me, to seek me any more in all the borders of Israel, so I shall escape out of his hand.
Dawuda ya yi tunani a ransa ya ce, “Wata rana Shawulu zai kashe ni, abu mafi kyau da zan yi shi ne in tsere zuwa ƙasar Filistiyawa. Da haka Shawulu zai fid da zuciya ga nemana a ƙasar Isra’ila, a can kuwa zan tsira daga hannunsa.”
2 And David arose, and passed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
Sai Dawuda tare da mutanensa, mutum ɗari shida suka tashi suka haye zuwa wurin Akish ɗan Mawok, sarkin Gat.
3 And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
Dawuda da mutanensa suka zauna a Gat tare da Akish. Kowa ya kasance tare da iyalinsa. Dawuda kuwa yana tare da matansa biyu. Ahinowam daga Yezireyel da Abigiyel matar Nabal da ya mutu daga Karmel.
4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath, and he sought no more again for him.
Da Shawulu ya sami labari cewa Dawuda ya gudu zuwa Gat, bai ƙara fita nemansa ba.
5 And David said to Achish, If now I have found favor in thine eyes, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country that I may dwell there, for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
Sai Dawuda ya ce wa Akish, “In na sami tagomashi a gabanka ka ba ni wani wuri a cikin biranenka in zauna a can. Don me bawanka zai kasance tare da kai a gidan sarauta?”
6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag pertains to the kings of Judah to this day.
A ranar Akish ya ba shi Ziklag wanda tun dā take ta sarkin Yahuda.
7 And the number of the days that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
Dawuda ya zauna a yankin Filistiyawa shekara ɗaya da wata huɗu.
8 And David and his men went up, and made a raid upon the Geshurites, and the Girzites, and the Amalekites, for those nations were the inhabitants of the land, who were of old as thou go to Shur, even to the land of Egypt.
Dawuda da mutanensa suka haura suka yaƙi Geshurawa, da Girziyawa, da Amalekawa. (Waɗannan su ne mazaunan ƙasar a dā, tun daga Shur har zuwa ƙasar Masar.)
9 And David smote the land, and saved neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the apparel, and he returned, and came to Achish.
Duk lokacin da ya yaƙi wani wuri, ba ya barin namiji ko mace da rai, amma sai ya kwashe tumaki, da shanu, da jakuna, da raƙuma, da riguna, sa’an nan yă koma wurin Akish.
10 And Achish said, Against whom have ye made a raid today? And David said, Against the South of Judah, and against the South of the Jerahmeelites, and against the South of the Kenites.
Idan Akish ya ce, “Ina ka kai hari yau?” Sai Dawuda yă ce, “Na kai hari a Negeb ta Yahuda, ko Negeb ta Yerameyel, ko Negeb na Keniyawa.”
11 And David saved neither man nor woman alive to bring them to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell of us, saying, So did David, and so has been his manner all the while he has dwelt in the country of the Philistines.
Bai bar a kawo namiji ko mace da rai a Gat ba, gama yana tunani, “Za su ba da sanarwa a kanmu su ce, ‘Ga abin da Dawuda ya yi.’” Haka ya yi ta yi dukan rayuwarsa a ƙasar Filistiyawa.
12 And Achish believed David, saying, He has made his people Israel utterly to abhor him. Therefore he shall be my servant forever.
Akish ya amince da Dawuda sosai, har ya ce wa kansa, “Ga shi ya mai da kansa abin ƙi ga mutanensa Isra’ilawa, zai zama bawana har abada.”
