< 1 Samuel 16 >
1 The Lord then saide vnto Samuel, Howe long wilt thou mourne for Saul, seeing I haue cast him away from reigning ouer Israel? fill thine horne with oyle and come, I will sende thee to Ishai the Bethlehemite: for I haue prouided mee a King among his sonnes.
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 sayde, Howe can I goe? for if Saul shall heare it, he will kill me. Then the Lord answered, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to doe 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 call Ishai to the sacrifice, and I will shewe thee what thou shalt doe, and thou shalt anoynt vnto me him whom I name vnto thee.
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 So Samuel did that the Lord bade him, and came to Beth-lehem, and the Elders of the towne were astonied at his comming, and sayd, Commest thou peaceablie?
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 answeared, Yea: I am come to doe sacrifice vnto the Lord: sanctifie your selues, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Ishai and his sonnes, and 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 when they were come, hee looked on Eliab, and saide, Surely the Lordes 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 vnto Samuel, Looke not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature, because I haue refused him: for God seeth not as man seeth: for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord beholdeth 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 Then Ishai called Abinadab, and made him come before Samuel. And he saide, Neither hath the Lord chosen this.
Sai Yesse ya kira Abinadab yă zo gaban Sama’ila. Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ko wannan ma Ubangiji bai zaɓe shi ba.”
9 Then Ishai made Shammah come. And he said, Neither yet hath the Lord chosen him.
Sai Yesse ya sa Shamma yă zo gaban Sama’ila, amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ubangiji bai zaɓi wannan ma ba.”
10 Againe Ishai made his seue sonnes to come before Samuel: and Samuel saide vnto Ishai, The Lord hath chosen none of 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 Finally, Samuel said vnto Ishai, Are there no more children but these? And hee sayde, There remaineth yet a litle one behinde, that keepeth the sheepe. Then Samuel saide vnto Ishai, Sende and set him: for we will not sit downe, till he be come hither.
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 brought him in: and he was ruddie, and of a good countenance, and comely visage. And the Lord saide, Arise, and anoynt him: for this is he.
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 Then Samuel tooke the horne of oyle, and anoynted him in the middes of his brethren. And the Spirit of the Lord came vpon Dauid, from that day forwarde: then Samuel rose vp, and went to Ramah.
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 But the Spirite of the Lord departed from Saul, and an euill spirite sent of the Lord vexed him.
To, fa, Ruhun Ubangiji ya riga ya rabu da Shawulu, sai mugun ruhu daga Ubangiji ya soma ba shi wahala.
15 And Sauls seruants said vnto him, Beholde nowe, the euill spirite of God vexeth thee.
Ma’aikatan Shawulu suka ce masa, “Duba, ga mugun ruhu daga Allah yana ba ka wahala.
16 Let our Lord therefore command thy seruants, that are before thee, to seeke a man that is a cunning plaier vpon the harpe: that when the euil spirit of God commeth vpon thee, hee may play with his hand, and thou maiest be eased.
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 Saul then saide vnto his seruantes, Prouide me a man, I pray you, that can play well, 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 Then answered one of his seruauntes, and sayde, Beholde, I haue seene a sonne of Ishai, a Bethlehemite, that can plaie, and is strong, valiant and a man of warre and wise in matters, and a comely person, 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 Wherefore Saul sent messengers vnto Ishai, and said, Send me Dauid thy sonne which is with the sheepe.
Sai Shawulu ya aiki manzanni zuwa wurin Yesse ya ce, “Ka aiko mini da ɗanka Dawuda wanda yake kiwon tumaki.”
20 And Ishai tooke an asse laden with breade and a flagon of wine and a kidde, and sent them by the hand of Dauid his sonne vnto 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 Dauid came to Saul, and stoode before him: and he loued him verie well, and he was 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 Ishai, saying, Let Dauid nowe remaine with me: for he hath found fauour in my sight.
Sa’an nan Shawulu ya aika saƙo wurin Yesse cewa, “Ka bar Dawuda yă yi mini hidima domin ina jin daɗinsa ƙwarai.”
23 And so when the euil spirite of God came vpon Saul, Dauid tooke an harpe and plaied with his hande, and Saul was refreshed, and was eased: for the euill 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.
