1 Samuel 27
1 And David saith unto his heart, 'Now am I consumed one day by the hand of Saul; there is nothing for me better than that I diligently escape unto the land of the Philistines, and Saul hath been despairing of me — of seeking me any more in all the border of Israel, and I have escaped out of his hand.'
Dawuda ya yi tunani a ransa ya ce, “Wata rana Shawulu zai kashe ni, abu mafi kyau da zan yi shi ne in tsere zuwa ƙasar Filistiyawa. Da haka Shawulu zai fid da zuciya ga nemana a ƙasar Isra’ila, a can kuwa zan tsira daga hannunsa.”
2 And David riseth, and passeth over, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, unto Achish son of Maoch king of Gath;
Sai Dawuda tare da mutanensa, mutum ɗari shida suka tashi suka haye zuwa wurin Akish ɗan Mawok, sarkin Gat.
3 and David dwelleth with Achish in Gath, he and his men, each one with his household, [even] David and his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelitess.
Dawuda da mutanensa suka zauna a Gat tare da Akish. Kowa ya kasance tare da iyalinsa. Dawuda kuwa yana tare da matansa biyu. Ahinowam daga Yezireyel da Abigiyel matar Nabal da ya mutu daga Karmel.
4 And it is declared to Saul that David hath fled to Gath, and he hath not added any more to seek him.
Da Shawulu ya sami labari cewa Dawuda ya gudu zuwa Gat, bai ƙara fita nemansa ba.
5 And David saith unto Achish, 'If, I pray thee, I have found grace in thine eyes, they give to me a place in one of the cities of the field, and I dwell there, yea, why doth thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?'
Sai Dawuda ya ce wa Akish, “In na sami tagomashi a gabanka ka ba ni wani wuri a cikin biranenka in zauna a can. Don me bawanka zai kasance tare da kai a gidan sarauta?”
6 And Achish giveth to him in that day Ziklag, therefore hath Ziklag been to the kings of Judah till this day.
A ranar Akish ya ba shi Ziklag wanda tun dā take ta sarkin Yahuda.
7 And the number of the days which David hath dwelt in the field of the Philistines [is] days and four months;
Dawuda ya zauna a yankin Filistiyawa shekara ɗaya da wata huɗu.
8 and David goeth up and his men, and they push unto the Geshurite, and the Gerizite, and the Amalekite, (for they are inhabitants of the land from of old), as thou comest in to Shur and unto the land of Egypt,
Dawuda da mutanensa suka haura suka yaƙi Geshurawa, da Girziyawa, da Amalekawa. (Waɗannan su ne mazaunan ƙasar a dā, tun daga Shur har zuwa ƙasar Masar.)
9 and David hath smitten the land, and doth not keep alive man and woman, and hath taken sheep, and oxen, and asses, and camels, and garments, and turneth back, and cometh in unto Achish.
Duk lokacin da ya yaƙi wani wuri, ba ya barin namiji ko mace da rai, amma sai ya kwashe tumaki, da shanu, da jakuna, da raƙuma, da riguna, sa’an nan yă koma wurin Akish.
10 And Achish saith, 'Whither have ye pushed to-day?' and David saith, 'Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelite, and unto the south of the Kenite.'
Idan Akish ya ce, “Ina ka kai hari yau?” Sai Dawuda yă ce, “Na kai hari a Negeb ta Yahuda, ko Negeb ta Yerameyel, ko Negeb na Keniyawa.”
11 Neither man nor woman doth David keep alive, to bring in [word] to Gath, saying, 'Lest they declare [it] against us, saying, Thus hath David done, and thus [is] his custom all the days that he hath dwelt in the fields of the Philistines.'
Bai bar a kawo namiji ko mace da rai a Gat ba, gama yana tunani, “Za su ba da sanarwa a kanmu su ce, ‘Ga abin da Dawuda ya yi.’” Haka ya yi ta yi dukan rayuwarsa a ƙasar Filistiyawa.
12 And Achish believeth in David, saying, 'He hath made himself utterly abhorred among his people, in Israel, and hath been to me for a servant age-during.'
Akish ya amince da Dawuda sosai, har ya ce wa kansa, “Ga shi ya mai da kansa abin ƙi ga mutanensa Isra’ilawa, zai zama bawana har abada.”
