1 Samuel 23
1 One day David heard the news, “The Philistines are attacking Keilah and stealing the grain from the threshing floors.”
Sa’ad da aka ce wa Dawuda, “Duba ga Filistiyawa suna yaƙi da mutanen Keyila, suna kwashe musu hatsi a masussukai.”
2 So he asked advice from the Lord, “Should I go and attack these Philistines?” The Lord told David, “Go and attack the Philistines and save Keilah.”
Sai Dawuda ya nemi nufin Ubangiji, ya ce, “In tafi in fāɗa wa Filistiyawa da yaƙi?” Ubangiji kuwa ya ce masa, “Jeka ka yi yaƙi da Filistiyawa, ka ceci Keyila.”
3 But David's men told him, “Even here in Judah we feel afraid. If we went to Keilah to fight the Philistine armies we'd be absolutely terrified!”
Amma mutanen Dawuda suka ce masa, “Ga shi, a nan ma a Yahuda muna jin tsoro, balle mu tafi Keyila mu yi yaƙi da sojojin Filistiyawa!”
4 So David asked advice from the Lord again, and the Lord told him, “Go immediately to Keilah, for I will give you victory over the Philistines.”
Dawuda ya sāke nemi nufin Ubangiji, sai Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Tashi ka gangara zuwa Keyila, gama zan ba da Filistiyawa a hannunka.”
5 Then David and his men went to Keilah and fought the Philistines. They slaughtered them and drove off their livestock. By doing this David saved the people of Keilah.
Sa’an nan Dawuda da mutanensa suka tafi Keyila, suka yi yaƙi da Filistiyawa, suka kwashe musu shanunsu, suka jijji wa Filistiyawa ƙwarai, suka cece mutanen Keyila daga hannunsu.
6 (When Abiathar, son of Ahimelech, ran away to David at Keilah he brought the ephod with him.)
(Abiyatar ɗan Ahimelek ya zo da efod sa’ad da ya gudo zuwa wurin Dawuda a Keyila.)
7 When Saul found out that David had gone to Keilah, he said, “God has handed him over to me, because he has locked himself inside a town with gates that can be barred shut.”
Shawulu ya sami labari cewa Dawuda ya tafi Keyila, sai ya ce, “Allah ya bashe shi a hannuna, domin Dawuda ya kulle kansa ke nan da ya shiga birnin da yake da ƙofofin da ake kulle da ƙarafa.”
8 So Saul called up his whole army to go and attack Keilah and to besiege David and his men.
Shawulu ya kira dukan sojojinsa don yaƙi, su gangaro zuwa Keyila su mamaye Dawuda da mutanensa.
9 When David learned that Saul was plotting to attack him, he asked Abiathar the priest, “Please bring the ephod.”
Da Dawuda ya ji labari Shawulu yana shirya hanyar da zai kashe shi, sai ya ce wa Abiyatar firist, “Kawo mini efod a nan.”
10 David prayed, “Lord, God of Israel, I your servant have been clearly told that Saul plans to come to Keilah and destroy the town because of me.
Dawuda ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, bawanka ya sami labari cewa tabbatacce Shawulu yana shirin zuwa Keyila yă hallaka garin saboda ni.
11 Are the town leaders of Keilah going to hand me over to him? Is Saul going to come, as I have heard? Lord, God of Israel, please tell me.” “Yes, he'll come,” the Lord replied.
Mutanen Keyila za su bashe ni a gare shi? Shawulu zai gangaro nan kamar yadda bawanka ya sami labari? Ya Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, ka gaya wa bawanka.” Ubangiji ya ce, “Zai zo.”
12 “And will the town leaders of Keilah hand me and my men over to Saul?” David asked. “Yes, they will,” the Lord replied.
Dawuda ya sāke cewa, “Mutanen Keyila za su bashe ni da mutanena ga Shawulu?” Ubangiji ya ce, “Za su yi.”
13 So David and his men, who numbered around six hundred, left Keilah and moved around from place to place. When Saul discovered that David had escaped from Keilah, he didn't bother going there.
Saboda haka Dawuda da mutanensa wajen mutum ɗari shida suka bar Keyila, suka yi ta tafiya daga wannan wuri zuwa wancan. Sa’ad da aka gaya wa Shawulu cewa Dawuda ya tsere daga Keyila, sai ya fasa tafiya can.
14 David set up camp in the wilderness strongholds, staying in the mountains of the Desert of Ziph. Saul searched for him continually, but God did not let David be captured.
Dawuda ya zauna a jeji cikin kogunan duwatsu da kuma tuddan jejin Zif. Kowace rana Shawulu ya yi ta neman Dawuda amma Allah bai bashe Dawuda a hannunsa ba.
15 While David was staying at Horesh in the Desert of Ziph, he found out that Saul was on his way to murder him.
A lokacin da Dawuda yana zaune a Horesh cikin jejin Zif, ya sami labari cewa Shawulu ya fito don yă kashe shi.
16 Saul's son Jonathan went to see David in Horesh and encouraged him to go on trusting in God, telling him,
Yonatan ɗan Shawulu kuwa ya tafi wurin Dawuda a Horesh, ya ƙarfafa shi yă dogara ga Allah.
17 “Don't worry, because my father Saul is never going to find you. You're going to be king of Israel, and I'll be your deputy. Even my father Saul knows this.”
Ya ce, “Kada ka ji tsoro, mahaifina Shawulu ba zai taɓa sa hannu a kanka ba. Za ka zama sarki a Isra’ila, ni kuma in zama na biyu gare ka. Kai, ko mahaifina Shawulu ma ya san da haka.”
18 The two of them made an agreement before the Lord. David stayed in Horesh and Jonathan went home.
Su biyunsu kuwa suka ɗaura yarjejjeniya a gaban Ubangiji. Sai Yonatan ya koma gida amma Dawuda ya zauna Horesh.
19 Then the people of Ziph went to Saul at Gibeah and told him, “David is hiding in our area, in the strongholds in Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, in the southern wastelands.
Zifawa suka tafi wurin Shawulu a Gibeya suka ce masa, “Ashe, ba Dawuda ne yake ɓuya a cikinmu a kogwannin duwatsu a Horesh a bisan tudun Hakila, kudu da Yeshimon ba?
20 So, Your Majesty, please come whenever you want, and we'll make sure to hand him over to you.”
Yanzu, ya sarki, ka gangaro, ka zo a duk lokacin da ka ga ya yi maka, ka zo mu kuma hakkinmu ne mu bashe shi a hannun sarki.”
21 “The Lord bless you for thinking about me,” Saul replied.
Shawulu ya ce, “Ubangiji ya yi muku albarka, gama kun damu da ni.
22 “Please go and make absolutely sure you know exactly where he is—where he stays and who has seen him there—because people tell me that he's very devious.
Ku tafi ku ƙara shiri. Ku san inda yakan tafi, wane ne kuma ya gan shi a can. An gaya mini cewa shi mai wayo ne sosai.
23 Look for and mark down all his hiding places. Then come back to me when you're sure, and I'll go back with you. If he's here in the country, I will hunt him down among all the people of Judah.”
Ku binciko duk wuraren da yakan ɓuya, sai ku dawo ku gaya mini tabbataccen labari. Sa’an nan zan tafi tare da ku in yana can. Zan nemi shi ko’ina cikin dukan kabilar Yahuda.”
24 So the people of Ziph set off, returning to Ziph ahead of Saul. David and his men were in the Desert of Maon in the Arabah Valley in the southern wastelands.
Sai suka tashi suka koma Zif, suka sha gaban Shawulu. Dawuda da mutanensa kuwa suna jejin Mawon cikin Araba, kudu da Yeshimon.
25 Saul and his men started hunting for him. When David found out, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the Desert of Maon. When Saul heard this, he chased after David in the Desert of Maon.
Shawulu da mutanensa suka tafi neman Dawuda. Da Dawuda ya ji labari, sai ya gangara cikin duwatsu ya zauna a cikin jejin Mawon. Sa’ad da Shawulu ya ji haka, sai ya tafi jejin Mawon yana fafaran Dawuda.
26 Saul was traveling along one side of the mountain, while David and his men were on the other side, rushing to get away. But just as Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men, about to capture them,
Shawulu yana tafiya a gefe ɗaya na dutsen, Dawuda da mutanensa kuma suna a wancan gefe, suna hanzari su ɓace wa Shawulu. Sa’ad da Shawulu da sojojinsa suka kusa cimma Dawuda da mutanensa don su kama su,
27 a messenger arrived to tell Saul, “Come at once! The Philistines have invaded the country!”
sai wani manzo ya zo wurin Shawulu yana cewa, “Ka koma da sauri, Filistiyawa sun kawo wa ƙasar hari.”
28 So Saul had to stop chasing David and went to confront the Philistines. That's why the place is called the “Rock of Escape.”
Shawulu kuwa ya janye daga fafaran Dawuda, ya tafi yă ƙara da Filistiyawa. Dalilin ke nan da ake kiran wannan wuri Sela Hammalekot, wato, dutsen tserewa.
29 Then David left and went to live in the strongholds of En-gedi.
Dawuda kuwa ya haura daga can ya zauna a kogwannin duwatsun En Gedi.
