< 1 Samuel 21 >

1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no man with you?”
Dawuda ya tafi Nob a wurin Ahimelek firist. Da Ahimelek ya gan shi sai ya firgita ya ce, “Me ya sa kai kaɗai ne? Me ya sa ba wani tare da kai?”
2 David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me to do something, and has said to me, ‘Let no one know anything about the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you. I have sent the young men to a certain place.’
Dawuda ya ce wa Ahimelek firist, “Na zo aikin sarki ne, ya kuwa ce kada in sanar wa kowa abin da ya sa in yi. Na faɗa wa mutanena inda za su same ni.
3 Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.”
Yanzu, me kake da shi a hannu? Ka ba ni burodi guda biyar, ko wani abu da kake da shi a nan.”
4 The priest answered David, and said, “I have no common bread, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.”
Amma firist ya ce wa Dawuda, “Ba ni da burodi iri na kowa da kowa, sai dai akwai burodin da aka tsarkake. Za ka iya ɗauka ku ci idan mutanenka ba su kwana da mata ba.”
5 David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us as usual these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was only a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?”
Dawuda ya ce, “Lalle ne a keɓe muke daga mata. Mutanena sukan keɓe kansu a koyaushe suka tashi’yar tafiya, balle fa a yau!”
6 So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread that was taken from before the LORD, to be replaced with hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
Don haka firist ya ba shi keɓaɓɓen burodi, tun da yake babu wani burodi a can sai dai burodin Kasancewa da aka cire daga gaban Ubangiji, aka sa burodi mai zafi a maimakon wanda aka cire a ranar.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
A ranar kuwa, ɗaya daga cikin bayin Shawulu yana can, a tsare a gaban Ubangiji, sunansa Doyeg, mutumin Edom, shugaban makiyayan Shawulu.
8 David said to Ahimelech, “Isn’t there here under your hand spear or sword? For I haven’t brought my sword or my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.”
Dawuda ya ce wa Ahimelek, “Ba ka da māshi ko takobi a nan? Ban kawo māshina ko wani makami ba gama saƙon sarki ya zo mini da gaggawa.”
9 The priest said, “Behold, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you would like to take that, take it, for there is no other except that here.” David said, “There is none like that. Give it to me.”
Sai firist ya ce, “Takobin Goliyat Bafilistin nan wanda ka kashe a Kwarin Ela yana nan. An naɗe shi da ƙyallen aka ajiye a bayan Efod, in kana so, sai ka ɗauka. Ba wani takobi kuma sai wancan.” Dawuda ya ce, “Ba ni shi, ai, ba wani kamar sa.”
10 David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
A ranar, Dawuda ya gudu daga wajen Shawulu ya tafi wuri Akish sarkin Gat.
11 The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land? Didn’t they sing to one another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”
Amma bayin Akish suka ce masa, “Wannan ba shi ne Dawuda sarkin ƙasar ba? Ashe, ba shi ne aka yi ta yin waƙoƙi a kansa, ana raye-raye, ana cewa, “Shawulu ya kashe dubbai, Dawuda kuwa ya kashe dubun dubbai?”
12 David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
Dawuda ya riƙe waɗannan kalmomi a zuciyarsa, ya kuma ji tsoron Akish sarkin Gat sosai.
13 He changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
Don haka sai ya yi kamar ya taɓu a gabansu. A duk lokacin da yake tare da su, sai yă yi kamar ya haukace. Ya yi ta zāne-zāne a ƙofofi, ya bar miyau yana ta bin gemunsa.
14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why then have you brought him to me?
Akish ya ce wa bayinsa, “Duba, wannan mutum yana hauka. Me ya sa kuka kawo shi a wurina?
15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Should this fellow come into my house?”
Na rasa masu hauka ne da za ku kawo mini wannan mutum yă yi ta hauka a gabana? Dole ne wannan mutum yă shiga gidana?”
