Kings I 16
1 And the Lord said to Samuel, How long do you mourn for Saul, whereas I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and come, I will send you to Jessae, to Bethleem; for I have seen amongst his sons a king for me.
Ubangiji ya ce wa Sama’ila, “Har yaushe za ka yi ta makoki saboda Shawulu? Na riga na ƙi shi da zaman sarkin Isra’ila. Ka cika ƙahonka da mai, zan aike ka zuwa wurin Yesse na Betlehem. Na zaɓi ɗaya daga cikin’ya’yansa maza yă zama sarki.”
2 And Samuel said, How can I go? whereas Saul will hear of it, and kill me: and the Lord said, Take a heifer in your hand and you shall say, I am come to sacrifice to the Lord.
Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Yaya zan yi haka? Ai, in Shawulu ya ji labari, zai kashe ni.” Ubangiji ya ce, “To, sai ka tafi tare da’yar karsana ka ce, ‘Na zo don in yi wa Ubangiji hadaya.’
3 And you shall call Jessae to the sacrifice, and I will make known to you what you shall do; and you shall anoint him whom I shall mention to you.
Ka gayyato Yesse a wurin hadayar, ni kuma zan gaya maka abin da za ka yi. Za ka shafe mini wanda na nuna maka.”
4 And Samuel did all that the Lord told him; and he came to Bethleem: and the elders of the city were amazed at meeting him, and said, Do you come peaceably, you Seer?
Sama’ila kuwa ya yi abin da Ubangiji ya umarce shi. Da ya isa Betlehem, sai dattawan garin suka tarye shi da rawar jiki, suka ce masa, “Mai duba, wannan ziyara lafiya dai ko?”
5 And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. Sanctify yourselves, and rejoice with me this day: and he sanctified Jessae and his sons, and he called them to the sacrifice.
Sama’ila ya ce, “I, lafiya ƙalau. Na zo ne domin in yi wa Ubangiji hadaya. Ku tsarkake kanku sa’an nan ku zo mu tafi wurin yin hadaya tare.” Ya kuma sa Yesse da’ya’yansa maza su tsarkake kansu, su je wurin hadayar.
6 And it came to pass when they came in, that he saw Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed [is] before him.
Da isarsu, Sama’ila ya ga Eliyab sai ya yi tsammani shi ne, sai ya ce, “Lalle ga shafaffe na Ubangiji tsaye a gaban Ubangiji.”
7 But the Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance, nor on his stature, for I have rejected him; for God sees not as man looks; for man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart.
Amma Ubangiji ya ce wa Sama’ila, “Kada ka dubi kyan tsarinsa ko tsayinsa, domin ba shi nake so ba, gama yadda Ubangiji yake gani, ba haka mutum yake gani ba. Mutum yakan dubi kyan tsari ne kawai daga waje, amma Ubangiji yakan dubi zuciya.”
8 And Jessae called Aminadab, and he passed before Samuel: and he said, Neither has God chosen this one.
Sai Yesse ya kira Abinadab yă zo gaban Sama’ila. Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ko wannan ma Ubangiji bai zaɓe shi ba.”
9 And Jessae caused Sama to pass by: and he said, Neither has God chosen this one.
Sai Yesse ya sa Shamma yă zo gaban Sama’ila, amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ubangiji bai zaɓi wannan ma ba.”
10 And Jessae caused his seven sons to pass before Samuel: and Samuel said, the Lord has not chosen these.
Yesse ya sa’ya’yansa maza bakwai suka wuce gaban Sama’ila, amma Sama’ila ya ce masa, “Ubangiji bai zaɓi waɗannan ba.”
11 And Samuel said to Jessae, Hast you no more sons? And Jessae said, [There is] yet a little one; behold, he tends the flock. And Samuel said to Jessae, Send and fetch him for we may not sit down till he comes.
Don haka ya tambayi Yesse ya ce, “Su ke nan’ya’yan maza da kake da su?” Yesse ya ce, “Har yanzu akwai ɗan autan, amma yana kiwon tumaki.” Sama’ila ya ce, “Ka aika yă zo, ba za mu zauna ba sai ya iso.”
12 And he sent and fetched him: and he was ruddy, with beauty of eyes, and very goodly to behold. And the Lord said to Samuel, Arise, and anoint David, for he is good.
Sai ya aika aka kawo shi. Ga shi kuwa kyakkyawan saurayi ne mai kyan gani. Ubangiji ya ce, “Tashi ka shafe shi, shi ne wannan.”
13 And Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward: and Samuel arose, and departed to Armathaim.
Saboda haka Sama’ila ya ɗauko ƙahon nan da yake da mai ya shafe Dawuda a gaban’yan’uwansa. Daga wannan rana kuwa ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko wa Dawuda da iko. Sai Sama’ila ya koma Rama.
14 And the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.
To, fa, Ruhun Ubangiji ya riga ya rabu da Shawulu, sai mugun ruhu daga Ubangiji ya soma ba shi wahala.
15 And Saul's servants said to him, Behold now, and evil spirit from the Lord torments you.
Ma’aikatan Shawulu suka ce masa, “Duba, ga mugun ruhu daga Allah yana ba ka wahala.
16 Let now your servants speak before you, and let them seek for our lord a man skilled to play on the harp; and it shall come to pass when an evil spirit comes upon you and he shall play on his harp, that you shall be well, and he shall refresh you.
Ranka yă daɗe, muna so ka ba mu izini mu tafi, mu nemo wanda ya iya kiɗan molo, domin duk sa’ad da mugun ruhun nan daga Allah ya tashi, sai yă kaɗa molon don hankalinka yă kwanta.”
17 And Saul said to his servants, Look now out for me a skilful player, and bring him to me.
Saboda haka Shawulu ya ce wa ma’aikatansa, “Ku nemo wanda ya iya kiɗan molo sosai ku kawo mini.”
18 And one of his servants answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jessae the Bethleemite, and he understands playing [on the harp], and the man [is] prudent, and a warrior, and wise in speech, and the man [is] handsome, and the Lord [is] with him.
Ɗaya daga cikin bayin ya ce, “Na san wani yaro, ɗan Yesse na Betlehem, ya iya kiɗan molo, yana da hikima, shi kuma ya iya yaƙi. Ya iya magana, ga shi kuma kyakkyawa, Ubangiji kuwa yana tare da shi.”
19 And Saul sent messengers to Jessae, saying, Send to me your son David who is with your flock.
Sai Shawulu ya aiki manzanni zuwa wurin Yesse ya ce, “Ka aiko mini da ɗanka Dawuda wanda yake kiwon tumaki.”
20 And Jessae took a homer of bread, and a bottle of wine, and one kid of the goats, and sent them by the hand of his son David to Saul.
Saboda haka Yesse ya ɗauki jaki tare da burodi da ruwan inabi da ɗan ƙarami bunsuru ya ba wa ɗansa Dawuda yă kai wa Shawulu.
21 And David went in to Saul, and stood before him; and he loved him greatly; and he became his armour-bearer.
Dawuda ya isa wurin Shawulu ya shiga hidimarsa. Shawulu kuwa ya so shi ƙwarai da gaske. Dawuda ya zama ɗaya daga cikin masu sanya sulke.
22 And Saul sent to Jessae, saying, Let David, I pray you, stand before me, for he has found grace in my eyes.
Sa’an nan Shawulu ya aika saƙo wurin Yesse cewa, “Ka bar Dawuda yă yi mini hidima domin ina jin daɗinsa ƙwarai.”
23 And it came to pass when the evil spirit was upon Saul, that David took his harp, and played with his hand: and Saul was refreshed, and [it was] well with him, and the evil spirit departed from him.
Duk lokacin da ruhun nan daga Allah ya sauko a kan Shawulu, sai Dawuda yă ɗauki molonsa yă kaɗa. Sa’an nan sauƙi yă zo wa Shawulu, mugun ruhu kuma yă rabu da shi.
