1 Samuel 21
1 Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And when Ahimelech met David, he trembled and asked him, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”
Dawuda ya tafi Nob a wurin Ahimelek firist. Da Ahimelek ya gan shi sai ya firgita ya ce, “Me ya sa kai kaɗai ne? Me ya sa ba wani tare da kai?”
2 “The king has given me a mission,” David replied. “He told me no one is to know about the mission or charge. And I have directed my young men to meet me at a certain place.
Dawuda ya ce wa Ahimelek firist, “Na zo aikin sarki ne, ya kuwa ce kada in sanar wa kowa abin da ya sa in yi. Na faɗa wa mutanena inda za su same ni.
3 Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found.”
Yanzu, me kake da shi a hannu? Ka ba ni burodi guda biyar, ko wani abu da kake da shi a nan.”
4 “There is no common bread on hand,” the priest replied, “but there is some consecrated bread—provided that the young men have kept themselves from women.”
Amma firist ya ce wa Dawuda, “Ba ni da burodi iri na kowa da kowa, sai dai akwai burodin da aka tsarkake. Za ka iya ɗauka ku ci idan mutanenka ba su kwana da mata ba.”
5 David answered, “Women have indeed been kept from us, as is usual when I set out. And the equipment of the young men is holy, as it is even on common missions, and all the more at this time.”
Dawuda ya ce, “Lalle ne a keɓe muke daga mata. Mutanena sukan keɓe kansu a koyaushe suka tashi’yar tafiya, balle fa a yau!”
6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there but the Bread of the Presence, which had been removed from before the LORD and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.
Don haka firist ya ba shi keɓaɓɓen burodi, tun da yake babu wani burodi a can sai dai burodin Kasancewa da aka cire daga gaban Ubangiji, aka sa burodi mai zafi a maimakon wanda aka cire a ranar.
7 Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the LORD. And his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief shepherd for Saul.
A ranar kuwa, ɗaya daga cikin bayin Shawulu yana can, a tsare a gaban Ubangiji, sunansa Doyeg, mutumin Edom, shugaban makiyayan Shawulu.
8 Then David asked Ahimelech, “Is there not a spear or sword on hand here? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business was urgent.”
Dawuda ya ce wa Ahimelek, “Ba ka da māshi ko takobi a nan? Ban kawo māshina ko wani makami ba gama saƙon sarki ya zo mini da gaggawa.”
9 The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want, you may take it. For there is no other but this one.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”
Sai firist ya ce, “Takobin Goliyat Bafilistin nan wanda ka kashe a Kwarin Ela yana nan. An naɗe shi da ƙyallen aka ajiye a bayan Efod, in kana so, sai ka ɗauka. Ba wani takobi kuma sai wancan.” Dawuda ya ce, “Ba ni shi, ai, ba wani kamar sa.”
10 That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.
A ranar, Dawuda ya gudu daga wajen Shawulu ya tafi wuri Akish sarkin Gat.
11 But the servants of Achish said to him, “Is this not David, the king of the land? Did they not sing about him in their dances, saying: ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?”
Amma bayin Akish suka ce masa, “Wannan ba shi ne Dawuda sarkin ƙasar ba? Ashe, ba shi ne aka yi ta yin waƙoƙi a kansa, ana raye-raye, ana cewa, “Shawulu ya kashe dubbai, Dawuda kuwa ya kashe dubun dubbai?”
12 Now David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Dawuda ya riƙe waɗannan kalmomi a zuciyarsa, ya kuma ji tsoron Akish sarkin Gat sosai.
13 So he changed his behavior before them and feigned madness in their hands; he scratched on the doors of the gate and let his saliva run down his beard.
Don haka sai ya yi kamar ya taɓu a gabansu. A duk lokacin da yake tare da su, sai yă yi kamar ya haukace. Ya yi ta zāne-zāne a ƙofofi, ya bar miyau yana ta bin gemunsa.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you can see that the man is insane! Why have you brought him to me?
Akish ya ce wa bayinsa, “Duba, wannan mutum yana hauka. Me ya sa kuka kawo shi a wurina?
15 Am I in need of madmen, that you have brought this man to rave in my presence? Must this man come into my house?”
Na rasa masu hauka ne da za ku kawo mini wannan mutum yă yi ta hauka a gabana? Dole ne wannan mutum yă shiga gidana?”
