1 Samuel 24
1 Now when Saul came back from fighting the Philistines, news was given him that David was in the waste land of En-gedi.
Bayan da Shawulu ya komo daga fafaran Filistiyawa, sai aka gaya masa cewa, “Dawuda yana can a Jejin En Gedi.”
2 Then Saul took three thousand of the best men out of all Israel, and went in search of David and his men on the rocks of the mountain goats.
Saboda haka Shawulu ya zaɓi mutum dubu uku daga cikin dukan Isra’ila, suka fita neman Dawuda da mutanensa kusa da Duwatsun Awakin Jeji.
3 And on the way he came to a place where sheep were kept, where there was a hollow in the rock; and Saul went in for a private purpose. Now David and his men were in the deepest part of the hollow.
Da Shawulu ya isa inda ake ajiye garken tumaki a bakin hanya inda akwai kogo, sai ya shiga ciki kogon don yă yi bayan gari. Dawuda da mutanensa kuwa suna can zaune a ƙurewar kogon.
4 And David's men said to him, Now is the time when the Lord says to you, I will give up your hater into your hands to do with him whatever seems good to you. Then David, getting up, took the skirt of Saul's robe in his hand, cutting off the end of it without his knowledge.
Mutanen Dawuda suka ce, wannan rana ce Ubangiji ya yi magana ya ce maka, “Zan ba da maƙiyinka a hannunka domin ka yi abin da ka ga dama da shi.” Sai Dawuda ya tashi a hankali ya je ya yanke shafin rigar Shawulu.
5 And later, David was full of regret for cutting off Saul's skirt.
Daga baya Dawuda ya damu domin ya yanke shafin rigar Shawulu.
6 And David said to his men, Before the Lord, never let it be said that my hand was lifted up against my lord, the man of the Lord's selection, for the Lord's holy oil has been put on him.
Ya ce wa mutanensa, “Ubangiji yă sawwaƙe in yi abu haka ga shugabana da Ubangiji ya shafe, ko in ɗaga hannuna in kashe shi, gama shi shafaffe ne na Ubangiji.”
7 So with these words David kept his servants back, and did not let them make an attack on Saul. And Saul got up and went on his way.
Da wannan magana Dawuda ya kwaɓi mutanensa, bai yarda su fāɗa wa Shawulu ba. Shawulu kuwa ya bar kogon ya yi tafiyarsa.
8 And after that David came out of the hollow rock, and crying after Saul said, My lord the king. And when Saul gave a look back, David went down on his face and gave him honour.
Daga baya Dawuda ya fita daga kogon sai ya kira Shawulu ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, sarki!” Da Shawulu ya waiwaya, sai Dawuda ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.
9 And David said to Saul, Why do you give any attention to those who say that it is my desire to do you wrong?
Ya ce wa Shawulu, “Me ya sa kake saurari mutanen da suke cewa, ‘Dawuda ya dāge yă cuce ka’?
10 Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.
Yau ka ga da idonka yadda Ubangiji ya bashe ka a hannuna a cikin kogon nan. Waɗansu sun ce mini in kashe ka, amma na bar ka, na ce, ‘Ba zan sa hannuna a kan shugabana ba, gama shi shafaffe ne na Ubangiji.’
11 And see, my father, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for the fact that I took off the skirt of your robe and did not put you to death is witness that I have no evil purpose, and I have done you no wrong, though you are waiting for my life to take it.
Babana, duba, ga shafin rigarka a hannuna, na yanke shafin rigarka amma ban kashe ka ba. Yanzu ka gane ka kuma sani cewa ba ni da laifin aikata kome ko tayarwa, ban yi maka laifi ba, amma kana farautar raina.
12 May the Lord be judge between me and you, and may the Lord give me my rights against you, but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
Ubangiji zai shari’anta tsakanina da kai. Ubangiji zai sāka mini laifin da ka yi mini, amma ni kam ba zan taɓa ka ba.
13 There is an old saying, From the evil-doer comes evil: but my hand will never be lifted up against you.
Kamar yadda karin maganan nan na dā ya ce, ‘Daga cikin masu mugunta, mugunta ke fitowa,’ hannuna dai ba zai taɓa ka ba.
14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? for whom are you searching? for a dead dog, an insect.
“Wane ne sarkin Isra’ila, ka fito kake bi? Wa kake kora? Kana bin mataccen kare ko kuɗin cizo?
15 So let the Lord be judge, and give a decision between me and you, and see and give support to my cause, and keep me from falling into your hands.
Ubangiji yă zama alƙali, yă yi shari’a tsakanina da kai, bari Ubangiji yă duba, yă tsaya mini, yă nuna ba ni da laifi.”
16 Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping.
Da Dawuda ya gama wannan magana, sai Shawulu ya ce, “Muryarka ke nan ɗana Dawuda?” Sai ya fasa da kuka.
17 And he said to David, You are right and I am wrong: for you have given me back good, but I have given you evil.
Ya ce, “Ka fi ni gaskiya, ka yi mini alheri, ni kuwa na yi maka mugunta.
18 And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death.
Ga shi yanzu ka faɗa mini alherin da ka yi mini. Ubangiji ya bashe ni a hannunka amma ba ka kashe ni ba.
19 If a man comes across his hater, will he let him get away safe? so may you be rewarded by the Lord for what you have done for me today.
In mutum ya sami maƙiyinsa, zai bar shi yă tafi lafiya ba tare da yin masa rauni ba? Ubangiji yă sāka maka, gama ka nuna mini alheri a yau.
20 And now I am certain that you will be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be made strong under your authority.
Na sani tabbatacce za ka zama sarki. Masarautar Isra’ila za tă kahu a hannunka.
21 So give me your oath by the Lord, that you will not put an end to my seed after me or let my name be cut off from my father's family.
Yanzu ka rantse mini da Ubangiji cewa ba za ka hallaka zuriyarta ko ka share sunana daga iyalin mahaifina ba.”
22 And David gave Saul his oath. And Saul went back to his house; but David and his men went up to their safe place.
Sai Dawuda ya rantse wa Shawulu. Sa’an nan Shawulu ya koma gida, amma Dawuda da mutanensa suka haura zuwa wurin ɓuya.
