1 Samuel 17
1 The Philistines gathered their army [to fight the Israeli army]. They gathered together near Socoh, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. They set up their tents at Ephes-Dammim, which is between Socoh and Azekah.
To, fa, Filistiyawa suka tattara mayaƙansu suka haɗu a Soko cikin Yahuda domin yaƙi. Suka yi sansani a Efes-Dammim, tsakanin Soko da Azeka.
2 Saul gathered the Israeli army near Elah Valley, and they set up their tents. Then they all took their places, ready to fight the Philistines.
Shawulu da Isra’ilawa suka taru suka yi sansani a Kwarin Ela suka ja dāgā don su yi yaƙi da Filistiyawa.
3 So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley between them.
Filistiyawa suka zauna a tudu guda, Isra’ilawa kuma suka zauna a ɗaya tudun. Kwari yana a tsakaninsu.
4 Then Goliath, from Gath [city], came out from the Philistine camp. He was a champion warrior/soldier. He was (over 9 feet/3 meters) tall.
Wani jarumin da ake kira Goliyat wanda ya fito daga Gat, ya fita daga sansanin Filistiyawa. Tsawonsa ya fi ƙafa tara.
5 He wore a helmet made of bronze [to protect his head], and he wore a coat made of metal plates [to protect his body]. The coat weighed (125 pounds/56 kg.).
Ya sa hular kwanon da aka yi da tagulla, da rigar ƙarfe mai sulke, nauyin rigar ya kai shekel dubu biyar.
6 He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
A ƙafafunsa kuwa ya sa ƙarafar tagulla, rataye a bayansa kuma māshi ne na tagulla.
7 He also had a big spear. It had a cord on it to enable him to throw it better (OR, which was as thick as a weaver’s beam). The tip of the spear was made of iron and weighed (15 pounds/almost 7 kg.). A soldier carrying a huge shield walked in front of him.
Ƙotar kibiyarsa kuwa kamar sandar saƙar igiya take, ƙarfen kibiyar kuma nauyinsa ya kai shekel ɗari shida. Mai riƙe masa garkuwa yana tafe a gabansa.
8 Goliath stood there and shouted to the Israeli army, “Why are you all lined up for battle? I am the great Philistine [soldier], and I think [RHQ] you are [merely] Saul’s slaves. Choose one man to fight for all of you, and send him down here to me!
Goliyat ya tsaya ya tā da murya wa hafsoshin Isra’ila ya ce, “Me ya sa kuka fito kuna layi don yaƙi? Ni ba Bafilistin ba ne? Ku kuma ba bayin Shawulu ba ne? Ku zaɓi waninku yă zo nan.
9 If he fights with me and kills me, then my fellow Philistines will all be your slaves. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you Israelis will all be our slaves.
In zai iya yin faɗa har yă kashe ni, to, za mu zama bayinku. Amma in na fi ƙarfinsa na kashe shi, to, sai ku zama bayinmu, ku kuma yi mana bauta.”
10 I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
Sai Bafilistin ya ce, “A wannan rana, na kalubalanci sojojin Isra’ila, ku ba ni mutum ɗaya mu yi faɗa.”
11 When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
Da jin maganganun Bafilistin, sai Shawulu da dukan Isra’ila suka damu suka kuma ji tsoro.
12 David was the son of Jesse. Jesse was from the clan of Ephrath. He lived in Bethlehem, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. Jesse had eight sons. When Saul [was king], Jesse had already become a very old man [DOU].
To, Dawuda dai ɗan wani mutumin Efratawa ne mai suna Yesse, shi mutumin Betlehem ne a cikin Yahudiya. Yesse yana da yara maza takwas, a zamanin Shawulu kuwa, Yesse ya riga ya tsufa.
13 Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
Manyan’ya’yansa maza uku, sun bi Shawulu wajen yaƙi. Ɗansa na fari shi ne Eliyab, na biyu shi ne Abinadab, na uku kuwa shi ne Shamma.
14 David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
Dawuda shi ne ɗan autansu. Manyan’yan mazan nan uku suka bi Shawulu.
15 David went back and forth: Sometimes he went to Saul’s camp, and sometimes he stayed in Bethlehem to take care of his father’s sheep.
Amma Dawuda yakan tafi sansanin Shawulu lokaci-lokaci yă kuma koma Betlehem don yă yi kiwon tumakin mahaifinsa.
16 For 40 days Goliath came out from the Philistine camp and stood there [taunting the Israeli army/telling the Israelis to choose one man to fight with him]. He did it twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Kwana arba’in cif, Bafilistin nan ya yi ta fitowa kowane safe da kuma kowace yamma.
17 [One day], Jesse said to David, “Here is a sack of roasted grain and ten loaves of bread. Take these quickly to your [older] brothers.
Yesse ya ce wa ɗansa Dawuda, “Ka ɗauki wannan gasasshen hatsi da waɗannan curin burodi goma, ka kai wa’yan’uwanka a sansani da sauri.
18 And here are ten large chunks of cheese. Take them to their commander. And see how things are going with your [older] brothers. Then [if they are okay, ] bring back something to show they are all right.”
Ka haɗa da waɗannan cuku guda goma, ka kai wa komandan rundunarsu. Ka ga lafiyar’yan’uwanka, ka kawo mini labari daga wurinsu.
19 His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
Suna tare da Shawulu da kuma dukan mutanen Isra’ila a Kwarin Ela, suna can suna yaƙi da Filistiyawa.”
20 So David arranged for another shepherd to take care of the sheep. Early the next morning he took the food and went to the Israeli camp, as Jesse told him to do. He arrived there just as the Israeli soldiers were forming their ranks and going out to the battlefield. As they went, they were shouting a war cry.
Kashegari da sassafe, Dawuda ya tashi ya bar tumakinsa wa wani yă lura da su, sai ya ɗauki kayansa, ya kama hanya kamar yadda Yesse ya umarce shi. Ya isa sansanin daidai sa’ad da rundunar tana fitowa zuwa bakin dāgā, suna kirarin yaƙi.
21 The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
Isra’ila da Filistiyawa suka ja dāgā suna fuskantar junansu.
22 David gave the food to the man who was taking care of the war equipment. [He told him to take care of the food that he brought], and then he went and greeted his older brothers.
Dawuda ya bar kayansa a wajen wani mai lura da kaya, sai ya ruga zuwa bakin dāgā yă gai da’yan’uwansa.
23 While he was talking with them, he saw Goliath coming out from among the Philistine soldiers, shouting [to the Israelis], challenging them [to send a man to fight him]. David heard what Goliath was saying.
Da yana magana da su sai Goliyat, jarumin nan Bafilistin daga Gat ya fito daga rundunar Filistiyawa, ya tā da murya kamar yadda ya saba. Dawuda kuwa ya ji shi.
24 When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
Da Isra’ilawa suka ga mutumin, sai dukansu suka gudu saboda tsananin tsoro.
25 They were saying to each other, “Look at him coming up toward us! And listen to him as he defies us Israelis! The king says that he will give a big reward to whoever kills this man. He also says that he will give his daughter to that man for him to marry her, and that he will no longer require that man’s family to pay taxes.”
Isra’ilawa suka yi ta cewa, “Kun ga yadda wannan mutum yana ta fitowa? Yana fitowa ne don yă kalubalanci Isra’ila. Sarki zai sāka wa mutumin da ya kashe wannan da dukiya mai yawa. Zai kuma ba shi’yarsa yă aura, yă cire suna mahaifinsa daga biyan kuɗin haraji cikin Isra’ila.”
26 David talked to some of the men who were standing near him. He said, “What will be given to whoever kills this Philistine and frees us Israelis from this shame/disgrace? And who [does] this heathen Philistine [think he] is, defying/ridiculing the army that serves the all-powerful God?”
Dawuda ya tambayi mutanen da suke tsaye kusa da shi ya ce, “Me za a yi wa wanda ya kashe Bafilistin nan, ya kuma cire wannan kunya daga Isra’ila? Wane ne wannan bafilistin marar kaciya da yake kalubalantar rundunar yaƙi na Allah mai rai?”
27 They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
Sai suka sāke gaya masa abin da suka faɗa cewa, “Ga abin da zai faru da wanda ya kashe shi.”
28 But when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men, he was angry. He said to David, “Why have you come down here? Is someone taking care of those few sheep that you left in the desert? I know you are just a (smart-aleck/brat)! You just want to watch the battle!”
Da wansa Eliyab, ya ji yana magana da mutanen, sai ransa ya ɓace ƙwarai saboda fushi, sai ya ce wa Dawuda, “Me ka zo yi a nan? Wa kuma ka bar wa’yan tumakin a jeji? Na san ka da taurinkai, da kuma mugun hali. Ka zo nan ne don ka yi kallon yaƙi kawai.”
29 David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
Dawuda ya ce, “To, yanzu me na yi? Ba zan ma yi magana ba?”
30 Then he walked over to another man and asked him the same question, but the man gave him the same answer. Each time he asked someone, he received the same answer.
Sai ya juya wajen wani kuma ya sāke kawo zancen, mutanen kuwa suka amsa masa kamar dā.
31 Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
Aka ji abin da Dawuda ya ce, aka kuwa gaya wa Shawulu, Shawulu kuma ya aika a kawo shi.
32 David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
Da Shawulu ya tambayi Dawuda, sai Dawuda ya ce masa, “Kada kowa yă damu saboda wannan Bafilistin. Bawanka zai je yă yi faɗa da shi.”
33 Saul said to David, “You are only a young man, and he has been a very capable soldier all his life. So you are not able to go and fight with him!”
Shawulu ya ce, “Ba za ka iya yin faɗa da wannan Bafilistin ba, ya daɗe yana yaƙi, ya yi yaƙi tun yana saurayi. Ga shi kuwa kai ɗan yaro ne kawai.”
34 David replied, “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep [for many years]. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried away a lamb,
Amma Dawuda ya ce wa Shawulu, “Bawanka yana kiwon tumakin mahaifinsa. Sa’ad da zaki ko beyar ta zo ta kama tunkiya, ta tafi da ita.
35 I went after the lion or the bear and attacked it and rescued the lamb from the wild animal’s mouth. Then I grabbed the animal by its jaw/throat and struck it and killed it.
Nakan bi ta a baya in buga ta in kuma ƙwato tunkiyar daga bakinta. In kuma ta taso mini, nakan cafke ta a gashinta in buga ta in kashe.
36 I have killed both lions and bears. And [I will do] the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful God!
Bawanka ya kashe zaki da beyar, wannan Bafilistin marar kaciya zai zama kamar ɗaya daga cikinsu, domin ya rena rundunar Allah mai rai.
37 Yahweh has rescued me from paws of lions and bears, and he will rescue me from this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “All right, go [and fight him], and [I hope/desire] that Yahweh will help you!”
Ubangiji wanda ya cece ni daga kumbar zaki da kuma kumbar beyar, zai cece ni daga hannun wannan Bafilistin.” Shawulu ya ce wa Dawuda, “Je ka, Ubangiji yă kasance tare da kai.”
38 Then Saul gave to David his own clothes that he always wore in battles, and he gave him a bronze helmet and a coat made of metal plates.
Sai Shawulu ya kawo kayan yaƙinsa ya sa wa Dawuda. Ya sa masa hular kwanon da aka yi da tagulla a kansa, ya kuma sa masa rigar ƙarfensa.
39 David [put these things on. Then he] fastened his sword over them, and tried to walk. But he could not walk, because he was not accustomed to wearing those things. So David said to Saul, “I cannot fight wearing all these things, because I am not accustomed to [wearing] them!” So he took them off.
Dawuda ya ɗaura māshin Shawulu a sulken, ya yi ƙoƙari yă zaga, sai ya ji ba zai iya ba saboda bai saba ba. Ya cewa Shawulu, “Ba zan iya tafiya da waɗannan ba, domin ban saba ba.” Don haka ya tuɓe su.
40 Then he took his walking/shepherd’s stick, and he picked up five smooth stones from the brook/stream. He put them in the pouch of his shoulder-bag. Then he put his sling in his hand and started walking toward Goliath.
Sai ya ɗauki sandansa, ya zaɓi duwatsu guda biyar masu sulɓi daga cikin rafi, ya sa su a’yar jakarsa ta makiyaya; ya kuma ɗauki majajjawarsa, ya tafi, yă fuskanci Bafilistin.
41 Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
Ana ciki haka, sai Bafilistin nan shi ma ya fita yana gusowa zuwa wurin Dawuda. Mai riƙe masa garkuwar yaƙi kuwa yana tafe a gabansa.
42 he looked at David closely. He saw that David had a handsome face and healthy body, but that he was only a young man. So he sneered at David.
Bafilistin ya dubi Dawuda daga sama har ƙasa, ya gan dai ɗan yaro ne kawai, kyakkyawa kuma mai ƙoshin lafiya, sai ya rena shi.
43 He said to David, “Are you coming to me with a stick because [you think that] I am a dog?” Then he called out to his gods to harm David.
Ya ce masa, “Kana tsammani ni kare ne da za ka zo mini da sanda?” Sai ya la’anci Dawuda da sunayen allolin Filistiyawa.
44 He said to David, “Come here to me, and I will [kill you and] give your dead body to the birds and wild animals to eat!”
Ya ce, “Zo nan, ni kuwa zan ba da naman jikinka ga tsuntsayen sama da namun jeji su ci.”
45 David replied, “You are coming to me with a sword and a dagger and a spear. But I am coming to you (in the name/with the authority) of almighty Yahweh. He is the God whom the army of Israel [worships], and he is the God whom you have defied/ridiculed.
Dawuda ya ce wa Bafilistin, “Kana zuwa ka yaƙe ni da māshi da takobi da kere, amma ni ina zuwa in yaƙe ka a cikin sunan Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, Allah na rundunar Isra’ila, wanda ka rena.
46 Today Yahweh will enable me to defeat you. I will strike you down and cut off your head. And [we Israelis will kill] many Philistine [soldiers and] give their bodies to the birds and wild animals to eat. And everyone in the world will [hear about it and] know that we Israeli people worship an [all-powerful] God.
Yau nan, Ubangiji zai bashe ka a hannuna, zan kuwa kashe ka, in datse kanka. Yau, zan ba da gawawwakin rundunar Filistiyawa ga tsuntsayen sama da namun jeji, da haka duniya za tă sani lalle akwai Allah a cikin Isra’ila.
47 And everyone here will know that Yahweh can rescue people without a sword or a spear. Yahweh always wins his battles, and he will enable us to defeat all of you [Philistines].”
Duk waɗanda suka taru a nan za su san cewa ba da māshi ko takobi ne Ubangiji yake ceto ba, gama yaƙin nan na Ubangiji ne, shi kuwa zai bashe ku duka a hannuwanmu.”
48 As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
Yayinda Bafilistin yana matsowa kusa domin yă fāɗa wa Dawuda, sai Dawuda ya ruga a guje zuwa bakin dāgā don yă same shi.
49 He put his hand into his shoulder-bag and took out one stone. He [put it in his sling and] hurled it toward Goliath. The stone hit Goliath on the forehead and penetrated his skull, and he fell face down onto the ground.
Ya sa hannu a jakarsa ya ɗauki dutse, ya sa cikin majajjawa ya wurga, dutsen kuwa ya bugi Bafilistin a goshi, dutsen ya shiga cikin goshinsa, sai Bafilistin ya fāɗi rubda ciki.
50 Then David ran and stood over Goliath. He pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath and killed him with it, and then cut off his head. In that way David defeated the Philistine without having his own sword. He used [only] a sling and a stone! When the other Philistines saw that their great warrior was dead, they ran away.
Da majajjawa da dutse kawai Dawuda ya ci nasara a kan Bafilistin. Ya buge shi, ya kashe shi ba tare da takobi a hannunsa ba.
Dawuda ya ruga ya tsaya a bisan Bafilistin, ya zare takobin Bafilistin daga kubensa, ya datse masa kai da shi. Da Filistiyawa suka ga jaruminsu ya mutu, sai suka juya suka gudu.
52 The Israeli men shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron [city]. They struck them as they went, with the result that dead/wounded Philistines were lying on the road all the way from Shaaraim to Gath and Ekron [towns].
Mutanen Isra’ila da na Yahuda suka rugo gaba da babbar murya, suka fafari Filistiyawa har zuwa mashigin Gat da kuma ƙofofin Ekron. Gawawwakin Filistiyawa suka bazu a hanyar Sha’arayim zuwa Gat da kuma Ekron.
53 When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
Da Isra’ilawa suka komo daga bin Filistiyawa sai suka washe sansanin Filistiyawa.
54 David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
Dawuda ya ɗauki kan Bafilistin zuwa Urushalima. Sai Dawuda ya ajiye kayan yaƙin Bafilistin a tentinsa.
55 As Saul watched David going toward Goliath, he said to Abner, the commanded of his army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “(As sure as you are alive/Truly) [IDM], I do not know.”
Yayinda Shawulu yake kallon Dawuda sa’ad da za shi yă yaƙi Bafilistin, sai ya tambayi Abner, komandan rundunarsa ya ce, “Abner, ɗan wane ne wannan saurayi?” Abner ya ce ran sarki yă daɗe, “Ban sani ba.”
56 Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
Sarki ya ce, “Ka tambaya mini ko yaron wane ne wannan saurayi.”
57 [Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
Dawuda yana dawowa daga karkashe Filistiyawa ke nan, sai Abner ya kai shi gaban Shawulu, riƙe da kan Bafilistin.
58 Saul asked him, “Young man, whose son are you?” David replied, “[Sir, perhaps you have forgotten that] I am the son of your servant Jesse, who has served you faithfully, who lives in Bethlehem.”
Sai Shawulu ya ce, “Kai ɗan wane ne, saurayi?” Dawuda ya ce, “Ni ɗan bawanka Yesse ne, na Betlehem.”
