< Kings I 18 >

1 [And it came to pass when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David and David loved him ] [as his own soul. ]
Bayan da Dawuda ya gama magana da Shawulu, sai Yonatan ɗan Shawulu ya ji zuciyarsa tana son Dawuda sosai. Yonatan kuwa yana ƙaunar Dawuda kamar ransa.
2 [And Saul took him in that day, and did not suffer him to return to his father's house. ]
Tun daga wannan rana Shawulu ya zaunar da Dawuda tare da shi, bai bar shi ya koma gidan mahaifinsa ba.
3 [And Jonathan and David made a covenant because he loved him as his own soul. ]
Yonatan kuma ya yi yarjejjeniya da Dawuda saboda yana ƙaunarsa kamar ransa.
4 [And Jonathan stripped himself of his ] [upper garment, and gave it to David, and his mantle and all he had upon him, even to his sword and to his bow, and to his girdle. ]
Yonatan ya tuɓe doguwar taguwarsa da ya sa, ya ba wa Dawuda, tare da sulkensa, har ma da māshi da kibiyarsa, da kuma bel nasa.
5 [And David went out withersoever Saul sent him, and ] [acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul. ]
Duk abin da Shawulu ya aiki Dawuda yă yi yakan yi shi cikin aminci, har Shawulu ya ba shi babban makami a rundunarsa. Wannan ya faranta wa dukan mutane zuciya har ma da ma’aikatan Shawulu.
6 And there came out women in dances to meet David out of all the cities of Israel, with timbrels, and with rejoicing, and with cymbals.
Yayinda mutane suke dawowa gida bayan da Dawuda ya kashe Bafilistin, mata suka fito daga dukan biranen Isra’ila don su sadu da Sarki Shawulu, suna waƙoƙi da raye-raye masu farin ciki, da ganguna da sarewa.
7 And the women began [the strain], and said, Saul has struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
Suna rawa suna cewa, “Shawulu ya kashe dubbansa, Dawuda kuwa ya kashe dubun dubbai.”
8 And it seemed evil in the eyes of Saul concerning this matter, and he said, To David they have given ten thousands, and to me they have given thousands. [And what more can he have but the kingdom? ]
Shawulu kuwa ya ji fushi, wannan magana ba tă yi masa daɗi ba, ya yi tunani ya ce, “Suna yabon Dawuda cewa ya kashe dubun dubbai amma ni dubbai kawai. Me ya rage masa yanzu, in ba mulki ba?”
9 [And Saul eyed David from that day and onward. ]
Tun daga wannan lokaci zuwa gaba, Shawulu ya dinga kishin Dawuda.
10 [And it came to pass on the morrow that an evil spirit from God fell upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of his house. And David was playing on the harp with his hand, according to his daily custom. And Saul’s spear was in his hand. ]
Kashegari, mugun ruhu daga Allah ya fāɗo wa Shawulu da tsanani. Yana annabci a gidansa, Dawuda kuwa yana bugan molo kamar yadda ya saba. Shawulu yana riƙe da māshi a hannunsa.
11 [And Saul took his spear and said, I will strike David even to the wall. But David escaped twice from his presence. ]
Da ƙarfi yana magana da kansa yana cewa, “Zan kafe Dawuda da bango.” Amma Dawuda ya bauɗe masa sau biyu.
12 And Saul was alarmed on account of David.
Shawulu ya ji tsoron Dawuda don Ubangiji yana tare da shi, amma Ubangiji ya riga ya bar Shawulu.
13 And he removed him from him, and made him a captain of a thousand for himself; and he went out and came in before the people.
Saboda haka Shawulu bai yarda Dawuda yă zauna tare da shi ba, amma ya maishe shi shugaban sojoji dubu. Dawuda kuwa ya riƙa bi da su yana kaiwa yana kuma da tare da su.
14 And David was prudent in all his ways, and the Lord was with him.
A kome da Dawuda ya yi yakan yi nasara gama Ubangiji yana tare da shi.
15 And Saul saw that he was very wise, and he was afraid of him.
Da Shawulu ya ga yadda yake cin nasara, sai ya ji tsoronsa.
16 And all Israel and Juda loved David, because he came in and went out before the people.
Amma dukan Isra’ila da Yahuda suka ƙaunaci Dawuda gama yana bin da su a yaƙe-yaƙensu.
17 [And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you to Wife, only be you to me a mighty man and fight the wars of the Lord. And Saul said, Let not my hand be upon him, but the hand of the Philistines shall be upon him. ]
Shawulu ya ce wa Dawuda, “Ga diyata Merab zan ba ka ka aura, kai dai ka yi mini aiki da himma, ka kuma yi yaƙe-yaƙen Ubangiji.” Saboda Shawulu ya ce wa kansa, “Ba zan ɗaga hannuna a kansa ba, Filistiyawa ne za su yi wannan.”
18 [And David said to Saul, Who am I, and What is the life of my father’s family in Israel, that I should be the king’s son—in-law? ]
Amma Dawuda ya ce wa Shawulu, “Wane ni, wa ya san iyayena ko kabilar iyayena a Isra’ila da zan zama surukin sarki?”
19 [But it came to pass at the time when Merob Saul’s daughter should have been given to David, that she was given to Israel the Mothulathite to wife. ]
Da lokaci ya kai da Merab’yar Shawulu za tă yi aure da Dawuda, sai aka aurar da ita wa Adriyel na Mehola.
20 And Melchol the daughter of Saul loved David; and it was told Saul, and the thing was pleasing in his eyes.
Mikal’yar Shawulu kuwa tana ƙaunar Dawuda sosai. Da aka gaya wa Shawulu labarin, sai ya yi farin ciki, ya yi tunani ya ce,
21 And Saul said, I will give her to him, and she shall be a stumbling block to him. Now the hand of the Philistines was against Saul.
“Zan ba shi ita tă zama masa tarko, da haka Filistiyawa za su same shi.” Shawulu ya ce wa Dawuda, “Yanzu kana da dama sau na biyu ka zama surukina.”
22 And Saul charged his servants, saying, Speak you privately to David, saying, Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you, and do you becomes the king's son-in-law.
Sai Shawulu ya umarci ma’aikatansa cewa, “Ku yi magana da Dawuda asirce ku ce, ‘Duba, sarki yana farin ciki da kai, dukan ma’aikatansa kuma suna sonka, ka yarda ka zama surukinsa.’”
23 And the servants of Saul spoke these words in the ears of David; and David said, [Is it] a light thing in your eyes to become son-in-law to the king? Whereas I [am] an humble man, an not honorable?
Suka sāke yi wa Dawuda wannan magana amma Dawuda ya ce, “Kuna tsammani abu mai sauƙi ne mutum yă zama surukin sarki? Ni talaka ne, kuma ba sananne ba.”
24 And the servants of Saul reported to him according to these words, which David spoke.
Da ma’aikatan Shawulu suka gaya masa abin da Dawuda ya faɗa.
25 And Saul said, Thus shall you speak to David, The king wants no gift but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to avenge himself on the kings enemies. Now Saul thought to cast him into the hands of the Philistines.
Sai Shawulu ya ce, “Ku gaya wa Dawuda, ‘Sarki ba ya bukatan kuɗin auren’yarsa, sai dai loɓar Filistiyawa domin ramako a kan abokan gābansa.’” Shawulu yana shiri ne domin Dawuda yă fāɗa a hannun Filistiyawa.
26 And the servants of Saul report these words to David, and David was well pleased to become the son-in-law to the king.
Da ma’aikatan suka gaya wa Dawuda waɗannan abubuwa, sai ya yi murna don zai zama surukin sarki. Amma kafin lokacin yă cika,
27 And David arose, and went, he and his men, and struck among the Philistines a hundred men: and he brought their foreskins, and he becomes the king's son-in-law, and [Saul] gives him Melchol his daughter to wife.
Dawuda da mutanensa suka fita suka kashe Filistiyawa ɗari biyu, suka kawo loɓar suka miƙa wa sarki, domin yă zama surukin sarki. Sai Shawulu ya ba da’yarsa Mikal aure ga Dawuda.
28 And Saul saw that the Lord [was] with David, and [that] all Israel loved him.
Da Shawulu ya gane Ubangiji yana tare da Dawuda,’yarsa Mikal kuma tana ƙaunarsa,
29 And he was yet more afraid of David.
sai Shawulu ya ƙara jin tsoron Dawuda har ya zama maƙiyinsa a dukan sauran rayuwarsa.
30 [And the chief of the Philistines went forth; and it came to pass that from the suficiency of their expedition David acted Wisely above all the servants of Saul; and his name was honored exceedingly. ]
Manyan sojojin Filistiyawa suka yi ta fita suna yaƙi da Isra’ilawa, amma kullum Dawuda yakan sami nasara fiye da sauran manyan sojojin Shawulu. Ta haka ya yi suna ƙwarai.
