< 1 Samuel 24 >

1 It happened, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, "Look, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi."
Bayan da Shawulu ya komo daga fafaran Filistiyawa, sai aka gaya masa cewa, “Dawuda yana can a Jejin En Gedi.”
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild goats.
Saboda haka Shawulu ya zaɓi mutum dubu uku daga cikin dukan Isra’ila, suka fita neman Dawuda da mutanensa kusa da Duwatsun Awakin Jeji.
3 He came to the sheep pens by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were abiding in the innermost parts of the cave.
Da Shawulu ya isa inda ake ajiye garken tumaki a bakin hanya inda akwai kogo, sai ya shiga ciki kogon don yă yi bayan gari. Dawuda da mutanensa kuwa suna can zaune a ƙurewar kogon.
4 The men of David said to him, "Look, the day of which Jehovah said to you, 'Look, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'" Then David arose, and cut off an edge of Saul's robe secretly.
Mutanen Dawuda suka ce, wannan rana ce Ubangiji ya yi magana ya ce maka, “Zan ba da maƙiyinka a hannunka domin ka yi abin da ka ga dama da shi.” Sai Dawuda ya tashi a hankali ya je ya yanke shafin rigar Shawulu.
5 It happened afterward, that David's heart struck him, because he had cut off an edge of Saul's robe.
Daga baya Dawuda ya damu domin ya yanke shafin rigar Shawulu.
6 He said to his men, "Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing to my lord, Jehovah's anointed, to put forth my hand against him, since he is Jehovah's anointed."
Ya ce wa mutanensa, “Ubangiji yă sawwaƙe in yi abu haka ga shugabana da Ubangiji ya shafe, ko in ɗaga hannuna in kashe shi, gama shi shafaffe ne na Ubangiji.”
7 So David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul got up, and went down the road.
Da wannan magana Dawuda ya kwaɓi mutanensa, bai yarda su fāɗa wa Shawulu ba. Shawulu kuwa ya bar kogon ya yi tafiyarsa.
8 Afterward David also got up and left the cave, and called out after Saul, saying, "My lord the king." When Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the ground and did homage.
Daga baya Dawuda ya fita daga kogon sai ya kira Shawulu ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, sarki!” Da Shawulu ya waiwaya, sai Dawuda ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.
9 David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to men's words, saying, 'Look, David seeks your harm?'
Ya ce wa Shawulu, “Me ya sa kake saurari mutanen da suke cewa, ‘Dawuda ya dāge yă cuce ka’?
10 Look, this day your eyes have seen how that Jehovah had delivered you today into my hand in the cave, but I refused to kill you, and my eye spared you; and I said, 'I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is Jehovah's anointed.'
Yau ka ga da idonka yadda Ubangiji ya bashe ka a hannuna a cikin kogon nan. Waɗansu sun ce mini in kashe ka, amma na bar ka, na ce, ‘Ba zan sa hannuna a kan shugabana ba, gama shi shafaffe ne na Ubangiji.’
11 Now look, the skirt of your robe in my hand. When I cut off the skirt, and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor disobedience in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you hunt for my life to take it.
Babana, duba, ga shafin rigarka a hannuna, na yanke shafin rigarka amma ban kashe ka ba. Yanzu ka gane ka kuma sani cewa ba ni da laifin aikata kome ko tayarwa, ban yi maka laifi ba, amma kana farautar raina.
12 May Jehovah judge between me and you, and may Jehovah avenge me of you; but my hand shall not be on you.
Ubangiji zai shari’anta tsakanina da kai. Ubangiji zai sāka mini laifin da ka yi mini, amma ni kam ba zan taɓa ka ba.
13 As the proverb of the ancients says, 'Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness;' but my hand shall not be on you.
Kamar yadda karin maganan nan na dā ya ce, ‘Daga cikin masu mugunta, mugunta ke fitowa,’ hannuna dai ba zai taɓa ka ba.
14 Against whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom do you pursue? After a dead dog, or one flea?
“Wane ne sarkin Isra’ila, ka fito kake bi? Wa kake kora? Kana bin mataccen kare ko kuɗin cizo?
15 May Jehovah therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you. May he see and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand."
Ubangiji yă zama alƙali, yă yi shari’a tsakanina da kai, bari Ubangiji yă duba, yă tsaya mini, yă nuna ba ni da laifi.”
16 It came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, "Is this your voice, my son David?" Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
Da Dawuda ya gama wannan magana, sai Shawulu ya ce, “Muryarka ke nan ɗana Dawuda?” Sai ya fasa da kuka.
17 He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have done good to me, whereas I have done evil to you.
Ya ce, “Ka fi ni gaskiya, ka yi mini alheri, ni kuwa na yi maka mugunta.
18 And you have declared this day how you have dealt well with me, in that Jehovah had delivered me up into your hand and you did not kill me.
Ga shi yanzu ka faɗa mini alherin da ka yi mini. Ubangiji ya bashe ni a hannunka amma ba ka kashe ni ba.
19 For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away unharmed? Therefore may Jehovah reward you good for that which you have done this day.
In mutum ya sami maƙiyinsa, zai bar shi yă tafi lafiya ba tare da yin masa rauni ba? Ubangiji yă sāka maka, gama ka nuna mini alheri a yau.
20 Now, look, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
Na sani tabbatacce za ka zama sarki. Masarautar Isra’ila za tă kahu a hannunka.
21 Swear now therefore to me by Jehovah, that you will not cut off my descendants after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house."
Yanzu ka rantse mini da Ubangiji cewa ba za ka hallaka zuriyarta ko ka share sunana daga iyalin mahaifina ba.”
22 David swore to Saul. Saul went home; but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
Sai Dawuda ya rantse wa Shawulu. Sa’an nan Shawulu ya koma gida, amma Dawuda da mutanensa suka haura zuwa wurin ɓuya.
