1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass when Saul had returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
Bayan da Shawulu ya komo daga fafaran Filistiyawa, sai aka gaya masa cewa, “Dawuda yana can a Jejin En Gedi.”
2 And Saul took three thousand men, chosen out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild 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 he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet; and David and his men were abiding in the recesses of the cave.
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, Behold the day of which Jehovah said to thee, Behold, I will give thine enemy into thy hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good to thee. And David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe secretly.
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 it came to pass afterwards that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
Daga baya Dawuda ya damu domin ya yanke shafin rigar Shawulu.
6 And he said to his men, Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing to my master, Jehovah's anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.
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 And David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, 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 David also arose afterwards, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king! And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and did obeisance.
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 dost thou listen to words of men, saying, Behold, David seeks thy hurt?
Ya ce wa Shawulu, “Me ya sa kake saurari mutanen da suke cewa, ‘Dawuda ya dāge yă cuce ka’?
10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that Jehovah had given thee this day into my hand in the cave; and they bade me kill thee; but [mine eye] spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.
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, yes, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand. For in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou liest in wait 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 Jehovah judge between me and thee, and Jehovah avenge me of thee; but my hand shall not be upon thee.
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 As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked; but my hand shall not be upon thee.
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 is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a single flea.
“Wane ne sarkin Isra’ila, ka fito kake bi? Wa kake kora? Kana bin mataccen kare ko kuɗin cizo?
15 Jehovah therefore shall be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and do me justice [in delivering me] out of thy hand.
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 And as soon as David had ended speaking these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
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, Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.
Ya ce, “Ka fi ni gaskiya, ka yi mini alheri, ni kuwa na yi maka mugunta.
18 And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me, forasmuch as when Jehovah had delivered me up into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.
Ga shi yanzu ka faɗa mini alherin da ka yi mini. Ubangiji ya bashe ni a hannunka amma ba ka kashe ni ba.
19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore Jehovah reward thee good for that thou hast done to me this day.
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 behold, I know that thou shalt certainly be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand.
Na sani tabbatacce za ka zama sarki. Masarautar Isra’ila za tă kahu a hannunka.
21 Swear now therefore to me by Jehovah, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.
Yanzu ka rantse mini da Ubangiji cewa ba za ka hallaka zuriyarta ko ka share sunana daga iyalin mahaifina ba.”
22 And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home; and David and his men went up to the stronghold.
Sai Dawuda ya rantse wa Shawulu. Sa’an nan Shawulu ya koma gida, amma Dawuda da mutanensa suka haura zuwa wurin ɓuya.
