1 Samuel 22
1 So David left Gath and took refuge in the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there.
Dawuda ya bar Gat, ya tsere zuwa kogon Adullam. Da’yan’uwansa da kuma iyalan mahaifinsa suka ji labari, sai suka tafi can wurinsa.
2 And all who were distressed or indebted or discontented rallied around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him.
Dukan mutanen da suke cikin wahala, da waɗanda ake binsu bashi, da masu damuwoyi, suka tattaru a wurin Dawuda. Shi kuwa ya zama shugabansu. Yawansu ya kai ɗari huɗu.
3 From there David went to Mizpeh of Moab, where he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother stay with you until I learn what God will do for me.”
Daga can Dawuda ya tafi Mizfa a Mowab. Ya ce wa sarkin Mowab, “Za ka yarda mahaifina da mahaifiyata su zo su zauna a wurinka kafin in san abin da Allah zai yi da ni?”
4 So he left them in the care of the king of Moab, and they stayed with him the whole time David was in the stronghold.
Saboda haka ya bar su a wurin sarkin Mowab, suka zauna da shi duk tsawon lokacin da Dawuda yake ta ɓuya a kogwannin duwatsu.
5 Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart and go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
Amma annabin nan Gad ya ce wa Dawuda, “Kada ka zauna a nan, maza ka tashi ka shiga ƙasar Yahuda”. Sai Dawuda ya tashi ya tafi jejin Heret.
6 Soon Saul learned that David and his men had been discovered. At that time Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with his spear in hand and all his servants standing around him.
Sai Shawulu ya sami labari cewa an ga Dawuda da mutanensa. Shawulu kuwa yana zaune da māshinsa kusa a ƙarƙashin itacen tsamiya a tudun Gibeya, tare da dukan ma’aikatansa kewaye da shi.
7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Is the son of Jesse giving all of you fields and vineyards and making you commanders of thousands or hundreds?
Ya ce musu, “Mutanen Benyamin, ku saurara; ɗan Yesse zai iya ba dukanku filaye da gonakin inabi ne? Zai ba dukanku shugabanci na dubbai ko shugabanci na ɗari-ɗari?
8 Is that why all of you have conspired against me? Not one of you told me that my own son had made a covenant with the son of Jesse. Not one of you has shown concern for me or revealed to me that my son has stirred up my own servant to lie in wait against me, as is the case today.”
Abin da ya sa dukanku kuka gama baki a kaina? Ba wanda ya gaya mini lokacin da ɗana ya yi yarjejjeniya da ɗan Yesse, ba wanda ya kulla da ni, ko ya gaya mini cewa ɗana ya sa bawana yă tayar mini, yana fakona kamar yadda yake a yau.”
9 But Doeg the Edomite, who had stationed himself with Saul’s servants, answered: “I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob.
Amma Doyeg mutumin Edom da yake tsaye tare da fadawan Shawulu ya ce, “Na ga ɗan Yesse ya zo wurin Ahimelek ɗan Ahitub a Nob.
10 Ahimelech inquired of the LORD for him and gave him provisions. He also gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
Ahimelek ya roƙi Ubangiji saboda shi, ya kuma ba shi guzuri da takobin Goliyat Bafilistin.”
11 Then the king sent messengers to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and his father’s whole family, who were priests at Nob. And all of them came to the king.
Sai sarki ya aika aka kira masa Ahimelek firist ɗan Ahitub da dukan iyalin mahaifinsa. Dukansu suka zo wurin sarki.
12 “Listen now, son of Ahitub,” said Saul. “Here I am, my lord,” he replied.
Shawulu ya ce, “Ka saurara yanzu, ɗan Ahitub.” Ya amsa ya ce, “Ina saurara, ranka yă daɗe.”
13 And Saul asked him, “Why have you and the son of Jesse conspired against me? You gave him bread and a sword and inquired of God for him so that he could rise up against me to lie in wait, as he is doing today.”
Shawulu ya ce masa, “Don me ka gama baki da ɗan Yesse a kaina har ka ba shi burodi da takobin (Goliyat), ka kuma roƙi Allah don yă tayar mini, yă kuma yi fakona kamar yadda yake yi yau?”
14 Ahimelech answered the king, “Who among all your servants is as faithful as David, the king’s son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguard who is honored in your house?
Ahimelek ya ce wa sarki, “A cikin bayinka duka, wa ke da aminci iri na Dawuda, surukin sarki, shugaban jarumanka wanda ake girmamawa da gaske a gidanka?
15 Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of my father’s household, for your servant knew nothing of this whole affair—not in part or in whole.”
A wannan rana ce da na fara roƙon Allah saboda shi? Kada sarki yă zargi bawansa ko wani daga iyalin mahaifinsa, gama bawanka bai san kome a kan dukan waɗannan al’amura ba.”
16 But the king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!”
Amma sarki ya ce, “Lalle Ahimelek za ka mutu, da kai da dukan iyalin mahaifinka.”
17 Then the king ordered the guards at his side, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they did not tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.
Sai sarki ya umarci matsaran da suke tsaye kusa da shi ya ce, “Ku kakkashe firistocin Ubangiji, gama su ma sun goyi bayan Dawuda. Sun san yana gudu, duk da haka ba su gaya mini ba.” Amma ma’aikatan sarki ba su yarda su sa hannu su kashe firistocin Ubangiji ba.
18 So the king ordered Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” And Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests himself. On that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.
Sai sarki ya umarce Doyeg ya ce, “Ka juya ka kakkashe firistocin.” Doyeg mutumin Edom ya juya ya kakkashe firistocin. A ranar kuwa ya kashe mutum tamanin da biyar waɗanda suke sanye da efod na lilin.
19 He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests, with its men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep.
Ya kuma hallaka Nob birnin firistoci, ya kashe dukan mata, da maza, da yara, da jarirai, da shanu, da jakuna, da kuma tumaki.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David.
Amma Abiyatar ɗan Ahimelek jikan Ahitub ya tsere, ya gudu zuwa wurin Dawuda.
21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.
Abiyatar gaya wa Dawuda cewa, “Shawulu ya hallaka firistocin Ubangiji.”
22 Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that Doeg the Edomite was there that day, and that he was sure to tell Saul. I myself am responsible for the lives of everyone in your father’s house.
Dawuda ya ce wa Abiyatar, “Lalle a wancan ranar, sa’ad da na ga Doyeg mutumin Edom a can, na san tabbatacce zai gaya wa sarki. Ni ne sanadin mutuwar dukan iyalin mahaifinka.
23 Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks your life is seeking mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
Ka zauna tare da ni, kada ka ji tsoro mutumin da yake neman ranka, yana nema raina ma. Ka zauna lafiya tare da ni.”
