1 Samuel 20
1 David ran from Naioth in Ramah to Jonathan and asked him, “What have I done? What is my wrong have I done? What terrible thing have I done to your father that he wants to kill me?”
Sai Dawuda ya gudu daga Nayiwot a Rama ya je wurin Yonatan ya ce, “Me na yi? Wane laifi ne na yi? Ta wace hanya ce na yi wa mahaifinka laifi har da yake neman yă kashe ni?”
2 “Nothing!” Jonathan replied. “You're not going to die! Listen! My father tells me everything he's planning, whatever it is. Why would my father keep something like this from me? It's not true!”
Yonatan ya ce, “Faufau, ba za ka mutu ba! Ka ji nan, mahaifina ba ya yin kome ba tare da ya shawarce da ni ba. Me ya sa ya ɓoye mini wannan? Ba zai yiwu ba.”
3 But David swore an oath again, saying, “Your father knows very well that I'm your friend, and so he's told himself, ‘Jonathan can't find out about this, otherwise he'll be really upset.’ I swear on the life of the Lord, and on your own life, my life is hanging by a thread.”
Sai Dawuda ya rantse ya ce, “Mahaifinka ya san cewa, na sami tagomashi a gare ka, domin haka ba zai sanar maka da wannan ba, don kada yă baƙanta maka rai. Na rantse da Ubangiji, da kai kuma, taki ɗaya kaɗai ya rage tsakanina da mutuwa.”
4 “Tell me what you want me to do for you and I'll do it,” Jonathan told David.
Sai Yonatan ya ce, “Duk abin da kake so in yi maka zan yi.”
5 “Well, the New Moon festival is tomorrow, and I'm meant to sit down and eat with the king. But if it's alright with you, I plan to go and hide in the field until the evening three days from now.
Dawuda ya ce, “Gobe fa shi ne Bikin Sabon Wata, ya kamata in ci tare da sarki amma bari in tafi fili in ɓuya har jibi da yamma.
6 If your father does indeed miss me, tell him, ‘David had to urgently ask my permission to hurry down to Bethlehem, his hometown, because of a yearly sacrifice there for his whole family group.’
In mahaifinka bai gan ni ba, ka gaya masa cewa, ‘Dawuda ya nemi izinina domin yă hanzarta yă tafi garinsa a Betlehem saboda ana hadaya ta shekara-shekara don dukan zuriyarsa.’
7 If he says, ‘That's fine,’ then there's no problem for me, your servant, but if he gets mad, you'll know he intends to do me harm.
In ya yi na’am, to, bawanka ya tsira. Amma in ka ga ya damu, to, ka tabbata ya yi niyya yă kashe ni.
8 So please treat me well, as you promised when you made a agreement with me before the Lord. If I've done wrong, then kill me yourself! Why take me to your father for him to do it?”
Kai kuma, ka nuna alheri ga bawanka, gama ka riga ka yi yarjejjeniya da ni a gaban Ubangiji, in kuwa na yi laifi ne sai ka kashe ni da kanka. Don me za ka bashe ni ga mahaifinka?”
9 “Absolutely not!” Jonathan replied. “If I knew for certain that if my father had plans to harm you, don't you think I'd tell you?”
Yonatan ya ce, “Labudda! In na ji ƙishin-ƙishin, cewa mahaifina yana neman yă kashe ka ashe, ba zan gaya maka ba?”
10 “So who's going to let me know if your father gives you a nasty answer?” David asked.
Dawuda ya ce, “Wa zai gaya mini idan mahaifinka ya amsa maka da amsa marar daɗi?”
11 “Come on, let's go out into the countryside,” Jonathan said. So they both of them went out into the countryside.
Yonatan ya ce, “Zo mu fita zuwa fili.” Sai suka tafi tare.
12 Jonathan said to David, “I promise by the Lord, the God of Israel, that I will question my father by this time tomorrow or the day after. If things look good for you, I'll send a message to you and let you know.
Sai Yonatan ya ce wa Dawuda, “Na yi rantse da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila cewa war haka jibi, zan yi ƙoƙari in ji daga mahaifina, idan ya yi magana mai kyau game da kai, zan gaya maka.
13 But if my father plans to do you harm, then may the Lord punish me very severely, if I don't let you know by sending you a message so you can get away safely. May the Lord be with you, just as he was with my father.
Amma in mahaifina ya sa zuciya yă cuce ka, Ubangiji yă hukunta ni da hukunci mai tsanani in ban gaya maka ba, in kuma sa ka ka tafi lafiya. Ubangiji yă kasance tare da kai kamar yadda ya kasance da mahaifina.
14 While I live, please show me trustworthy love like that of the Lord so I don't die,
Amma ka nuna mini alheri marar ƙarewa iri ta Ubangiji dukan rayuwata don kada a kashe ni.
15 and please don't ever remove your trustworthy love for my family, even when the Lord has removed every one of your enemies from the earth.”
Kada kuma ka yanke alherinka ga iyalina ko da Ubangiji ya hallaka dukan maƙiyin Dawuda a duniya.”
16 Jonathan made a solemn agreement with the family of David, saying, “May the Lord impose retribution on David's enemies.”
Saboda haka Yonatan ya yi yarjejjeniya da gidan Dawuda cewa Ubangiji yă kawo dukan maƙiyin Dawuda ga mutuwa.
17 Jonathan made David swear this once more by making an oath based on David's love for him, for Jonathan already loved David as he loved himself.
Yonatan kuwa ya sa Dawuda ya sāke tabbatar masa rantsuwansa game da abokantakarsa da shi, gama yana ƙaunar Dawuda kamar ransa.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, “The New Moon festival is tomorrow. You'll be missed, because your place will be empty.
Sai Yonatan ya gaya wa Dawuda cewa, “Gobe ne Bikin Sabon Wata, za a rasa ka, da yake kujerarka za tă kasance ba kowa a kai.
19 In three days time, go quickly to where you hid when all this started, and stay there beside the pile of stones.
Jibi wajajen yamma, ka tafi wurin da ka ɓuya lokacin da wannan matsala ta fara, ka tsaya kusa da dutsen Etsel.
20 I'll shoot three arrows to the side of it as if I were shooting at a target.
Zan harbi kibiya uku ta wajen, sai ka ce dai ina harbin baka.
21 Then I'll send a boy and tell him, ‘Go and find the arrows!’ Now, if I say to him specifically, ‘Look, the arrows are this side of you; bring them over here,’ then I swear on the life of the Lord it's safe for you to come out—there's no danger.
Sa’an nan zan aiki yaro in ce masa, ‘Je ka nemo kibiyoyin.’ In na ce masa, ‘Duba, kibiyoyin suna wannan gefen da kake, kawo su,’ sai ka fito, wato, tabbatacce muddin Ubangiji yana raye, ka tsira, ba wani hatsari.
22 But if I tell the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are way past you,’ then you'll have to leave, for the Lord wants you to go away.
Amma in na ce wa yaron, ‘Duba, kibiyoyin suna gaba da kai,’ sai ka tafi, gama Ubangiji ya sallame ka.
23 As for what you and I talked about, remember that the Lord is a witness between you and me forever.”
Game da al’amarin da muka tattauna da ni da kai kuwa, ka tuna fa Ubangiji ne shaida tsakanina da kai har abada.”
24 So David hid himself in the field. When the New Moon festival arrived, the king sat down to eat.
Dawuda ya tafi ya ɓuya a fili. Sa’ad da ranar Bikin Sabon Wata ta zo, sarki ya zauna don yă ci.
25 He sat in his usual place by the wall opposite Jonathan. Abner sat next to Saul, but David's place was empty.
Ya zauna a kujeransa inda ya saba zama kusa da bango yana fuskantar Yonatan, Abner kuma ya zauna kusa da sarki. Amma kujeran Dawuda ba kowa.
26 Saul didn't say anything that day because he thought, “Something has probably happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—yes, he must be unclean.”
Shawulu bai ce kome ba a ranar domin ya yi tsammani wataƙila wani abu ya faru da Dawuda ya mai da shi marar tsarki, tabbatacce ba shi da tsarki.
27 But the second day, the day after the New Moon, David's place was still empty. Saul asked his son Jonathan, “Why hasn't the son of Jesse come to dinner either yesterday or today?”
Amma kashegari, rana ta biyu ga wata, kujeran Dawuda kuma ba kowa, sai Shawulu ya ce wa ɗansa Yonatan, “Me ya sa ɗan Yesse bai zo cin abinci, jiya da yau ba?”
28 Jonathan answered, “David had to urgently ask my permission to go to Bethlehem.
Yonatan ya ce, “Dawuda ya nemi izinina don yă tafi Betlehem.
29 He told me, ‘Please let me go, because our family is having a sacrifice in the town and my brother told me I had to be there. If you think well of me, please let me go and see my brothers.’ That's why he's absent from the king's table.”
Ya ce, ‘Bari in tafi gama iyalinmu suna miƙa hadaya a gari,’yan’uwana kuwa sun gayyace ni in kasance a can. In na sami yardarka, bari in tafi in ga’yan’uwana.’ Dalilin ke nan da bai zo ci da sarki ba.”
30 Saul got very angry with Jonathan and said, “You rebellious son of a whore! Don't you think I know that you prefer the son of Jesse? Shame on you! You're a disgrace to the mother who bore you!
Fushin Shawulu ya ƙuna a kan Yonatan, sai ya ce masa, “Kai shege ne, haihuwar banzan mace; ai, na san kana goyon bayan ɗan Yesse don ka wulaƙantar da kanka da mahaifinka.
31 While the son of Jesse remains alive, you and your kingship are not secure. Now go and bring him here to me, for he has to die!”
Muddin ɗan Yesse yana da rai a duniya, ba za ka kahu ba. Sarautarka kuma ba za tă kahu ba. Yanzu sai ka je ka kawo mini shi. Dole yă mutu.”
32 “Why does he have to be put to death?” Jonathan asked. “What has he done?”
Yonatan ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Me ya sa zai mutu? Me ya yi?”
33 Saul threw his spear at Jonathan, trying to kill him, so he knew that his father definitely wanted David dead.
Amma Shawulu ya jefe shi da māshi don yă kashe shi. A nan ne Yonatan ya san lalle mahaifinsa ya yi niyya yă kashe Dawuda.
34 Jonathan left the table absolutely furious. He would not eat anything on the second day of the festival, for he was so upset by the shameful way his father had treated David.
Yonatan ya tashi daga tebur cin abincin da fushi. A rana ta biyun kuwa bai ci abinci ba, gama yana baƙin ciki game da rashin kunyar mahaifinsa game da Dawuda.
35 In the morning Jonathan went to the field to the place he had agreed with David, and a young boy was with him.
Da safe Yonatan ya tafi domin yă sadu da Dawuda a fili. Ya tafi tare da wani ƙaramin yaro.
36 He told the boy, “Run and find the arrows that I shoot.” The boy started running and Jonathan shot an arrow past him.
Ya ce wa yaron, “Yi ruga da gudu ka nemo kibiyoyin da na harba.” Da yaron ya ruga sai ya harba kibiya a gaba da shi.
37 When the boy got to the place where Jonathan's arrow had landed, Jonathan shouted to him, “Isn't the arrow farther past you?
Da yaron ya isa wurin da kibiyan Yonatan ya fāɗi, Yonatan ya kira shi ya ce, “Kibiyan na gabanka fa.”
38 Hurry up! Do it quickly! Don't wait!” The boy picked up the arrows and took them back to his master.
Sai ya tā da murya ya ce, “Maza, yi sauri kada ka tsaya.” Yaron ya ɗauko kibiya ya kawo wa maigidansa.
39 The boy didn't suspect anything—only Jonathan and David knew what it meant.
(Yaron kuwa bai san kome game da wannan abu ba, sai Yonatan da Dawuda kawai.)
40 Jonathan gave his bow and arrows to the boy and said, “Take these back to town.”
Yonatan ya ba wa yaron makaman ya ce, “Ka ɗauka ka koma gari.”
41 After the boy had gone, David got up from beside the pile of stones, fell facedown to the ground, and bowed three times. Then he and Jonathan kissed each other and cried together as friends, though David cried the hardest.
Da yaron ya tafi, sai Dawuda ya tashi daga inda ya ɓuya kusa da tarin duwatsu, ya rusuna har sau uku. Sa’an nan suka sumbaci juna, suka yi kuka, Dawuda kuwa ya yi kuka sosai.
42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn a solemn oath in the name of the Lord. We said, ‘The Lord will be a witness between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’” Then David left, and Jonathan went back to town.
Yonatan ya ce wa Dawuda, “Sauka lafiya, mun riga mun yi rantsuwar abokantaka da juna a cikin sunan Ubangiji cewa, ‘Ubangiji ne shaida tsakanina da kai, tsakanin zuriyarka da zuriyata har abada.’” Sai Dawuda ya tafi, Yonatan kuwa ya koma gari.
