1 Samuel 23
1 And they declare to David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are spoiling 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 And David inquires of YHWH, saying, “Do I go? And have I struck among these Philistines?” And YHWH says to David, “Go, and you have struck among the Philistines, and saved 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 And David’s men say to him, “Behold, we here in Judah are afraid; and how much more when we go to Keilah, to the ranks of the Philistines?”
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 And David adds again to inquire of YHWH, and YHWH answers him and says, “Rise, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into your hand.”
Dawuda ya sāke nemi nufin Ubangiji, sai Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Tashi ka gangara zuwa Keyila, gama zan ba da Filistiyawa a hannunka.”
5 And David goes, and his men, to Keilah, and fights with the Philistines, and leads away their livestock, and strikes among them [with] a great striking, and David saves the inhabitants 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 And it comes to pass, in the fleeing of Abiathar son of Ahimelech to David, to Keilah, an ephod came down in his hand.
(Abiyatar ɗan Ahimelek ya zo da efod sa’ad da ya gudo zuwa wurin Dawuda a Keyila.)
7 And it is declared to Saul that David has come to Keilah, and Saul says, “God has made him known for my hand, for he has been shut in, to enter into a city of doors and bar.”
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 And Saul summons all the people to the battle, to go down to Keilah, to lay siege to David and to his men.
Shawulu ya kira dukan sojojinsa don yaƙi, su gangaro zuwa Keyila su mamaye Dawuda da mutanensa.
9 And David knows that Saul is devising the evil against him and says to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod near.”
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 And David says, “YHWH, God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah, to destroy the city on my account.
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 Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up into his hand? Does Saul come down as Your servant has heard? YHWH, God of Israel, please declare [it] to Your servant.” And YHWH says, “He comes down.”
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 David says, “Do the possessors of Keilah shut up me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And YHWH says, “They shut [you] up.”
Dawuda ya sāke cewa, “Mutanen Keyila za su bashe ni da mutanena ga Shawulu?” Ubangiji ya ce, “Za su yi.”
13 And David rises—and his men—about six hundred men, and they go out from Keilah, and go up and down where they go up and down; and it has been declared to Saul that David has escaped from Keilah, and he ceases to go out.
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 And David abides in the wilderness, in fortresses, and abides in the hill-country, in the wilderness of Ziph; and Saul seeks him [for] all the days, and God has not given him into his hand.
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 And David sees that Saul has come out to seek his life, and David [is] in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.
A lokacin da Dawuda yana zaune a Horesh cikin jejin Zif, ya sami labari cewa Shawulu ya fito don yă kashe shi.
16 And Jonathan son of Saul rises, and goes to David [in the] forest, and strengthens his hand in God,
Yonatan ɗan Shawulu kuwa ya tafi wurin Dawuda a Horesh, ya ƙarfafa shi yă dogara ga Allah.
17 and says to him, “Do not fear, for the hand of my father Saul does not find you, and you reign over Israel, and I am to you for second, and also so knows my father Saul.”
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 And both of them make a covenant before YHWH; and David abides in the forest, and Jonathan has gone to his house.
Su biyunsu kuwa suka ɗaura yarjejjeniya a gaban Ubangiji. Sai Yonatan ya koma gida amma Dawuda ya zauna Horesh.
19 And the Ziphites go up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest, in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of the desolate place?
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 And now, by all the desire of your soul, O king, to come down, come down, and ours [is] to shut him up into the hand of the king.”
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 And Saul says, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH, for you have pity on me;
Shawulu ya ce, “Ubangiji ya yi muku albarka, gama kun damu da ni.
22 now go prepare yet, and know and see his place where his foot is; who has seen him there? For [one] has said to me, He is very cunning.
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 And see and know of all the hiding places where he hides himself, and you have turned back prepared to me, and I have gone with you, and it has been, if he is in the land, that I have searched him out through all the thousands 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 And they rise and go to Ziph before Saul, and David and his men [are] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain, at the south of the desolate place.
Sai suka tashi suka koma Zif, suka sha gaban Shawulu. Dawuda da mutanensa kuwa suna jejin Mawon cikin Araba, kudu da Yeshimon.
25 And Saul and his men go to seek, and they declare [it] to David, and he goes down the rock, and abides in the wilderness of Maon; and Saul hears, and pursues after David [to] the wilderness 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 And Saul goes on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain, and David is hurried to go from the face of Saul, and Saul and his men are surrounding David and his men, to catch 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 And a messenger has come to Saul, saying, “Hurry, and come, for the Philistines have pushed against the land.”
sai wani manzo ya zo wurin Shawulu yana cewa, “Ka koma da sauri, Filistiyawa sun kawo wa ƙasar hari.”
28 And Saul turns back from pursuing after David, and goes to meet the Philistines, therefore they have called that place “The Rock of Divisions.”
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 And David goes up there, and abides in fortresses [at] En-gedi.
Dawuda kuwa ya haura daga can ya zauna a kogwannin duwatsun En Gedi.
