1 Sama’ila 18
1 Bayan da Dawuda ya gama magana da Shawulu, sai Yonatan ɗan Shawulu ya ji zuciyarsa tana son Dawuda sosai. Yonatan kuwa yana ƙaunar Dawuda kamar ransa.
After David had finished speaking with Saul, the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together, and Jonathan loved him as himself.
2 Tun daga wannan rana Shawulu ya zaunar da Dawuda tare da shi, bai bar shi ya koma gidan mahaifinsa ba.
And from that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return to his father’s house.
3 Yonatan kuma ya yi yarjejjeniya da Dawuda saboda yana ƙaunarsa kamar ransa.
Then Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself.
4 Yonatan ya tuɓe doguwar taguwarsa da ya sa, ya ba wa Dawuda, tare da sulkensa, har ma da māshi da kibiyarsa, da kuma bel nasa.
And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
5 Duk abin da Shawulu ya aiki Dawuda yă yi yakan yi shi cikin aminci, har Shawulu ya ba shi babban makami a rundunarsa. Wannan ya faranta wa dukan mutane zuciya har ma da ma’aikatan Shawulu.
So David marched out and prospered in everything Saul sent him to do, and Saul set him over the men of war. And this was pleasing in the sight of all the people, and of Saul’s officers as well.
6 Yayinda mutane suke dawowa gida bayan da Dawuda ya kashe Bafilistin, mata suka fito daga dukan biranen Isra’ila don su sadu da Sarki Shawulu, suna waƙoƙi da raye-raye masu farin ciki, da ganguna da sarewa.
As the troops were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs, and with tambourines and other instruments.
7 Suna rawa suna cewa, “Shawulu ya kashe dubbansa, Dawuda kuwa ya kashe dubun dubbai.”
And as the women danced, they sang out: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.”
8 Shawulu kuwa ya ji fushi, wannan magana ba tă yi masa daɗi ba, ya yi tunani ya ce, “Suna yabon Dawuda cewa ya kashe dubun dubbai amma ni dubbai kawai. Me ya rage masa yanzu, in ba mulki ba?”
And Saul was furious and resented this song. “They have ascribed tens of thousands to David,” he said, “but only thousands to me. What more can he have but the kingdom?”
9 Tun daga wannan lokaci zuwa gaba, Shawulu ya dinga kishin Dawuda.
And from that day forward Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
10 Kashegari, mugun ruhu daga Allah ya fāɗo wa Shawulu da tsanani. Yana annabci a gidansa, Dawuda kuwa yana bugan molo kamar yadda ya saba. Shawulu yana riƙe da māshi a hannunsa.
The next day a spirit of distress sent from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house while David played the harp as usual. Now Saul was holding a spear,
11 Da ƙarfi yana magana da kansa yana cewa, “Zan kafe Dawuda da bango.” Amma Dawuda ya bauɗe masa sau biyu.
and he hurled it, thinking, “I will pin David to the wall.” But David eluded him twice.
12 Shawulu ya ji tsoron Dawuda don Ubangiji yana tare da shi, amma Ubangiji ya riga ya bar Shawulu.
So Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with David but had departed from Saul.
13 Saboda haka Shawulu bai yarda Dawuda yă zauna tare da shi ba, amma ya maishe shi shugaban sojoji dubu. Dawuda kuwa ya riƙa bi da su yana kaiwa yana kuma da tare da su.
Therefore Saul sent David away and gave him command of a thousand men. David led the troops out to battle and back,
14 A kome da Dawuda ya yi yakan yi nasara gama Ubangiji yana tare da shi.
and he continued to prosper in all his ways, because the LORD was with him.
15 Da Shawulu ya ga yadda yake cin nasara, sai ya ji tsoronsa.
When Saul saw that David was very successful, he was afraid of him.
16 Amma dukan Isra’ila da Yahuda suka ƙaunaci Dawuda gama yana bin da su a yaƙe-yaƙensu.
But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he was leading them out to battle and back.
17 Shawulu ya ce wa Dawuda, “Ga diyata Merab zan ba ka ka aura, kai dai ka yi mini aiki da himma, ka kuma yi yaƙe-yaƙen Ubangiji.” Saboda Shawulu ya ce wa kansa, “Ba zan ɗaga hannuna a kansa ba, Filistiyawa ne za su yi wannan.”
Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
18 Amma Dawuda ya ce wa Shawulu, “Wane ni, wa ya san iyayena ko kabilar iyayena a Isra’ila da zan zama surukin sarki?”
And David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my family or my father’s clan in Israel, that I should become the son-in-law of the king?”
19 Da lokaci ya kai da Merab’yar Shawulu za tă yi aure da Dawuda, sai aka aurar da ita wa Adriyel na Mehola.
So when it was time to give Saul’s daughter Merab to David, she was given in marriage to Adriel of Meholah.
20 Mikal’yar Shawulu kuwa tana ƙaunar Dawuda sosai. Da aka gaya wa Shawulu labarin, sai ya yi farin ciki, ya yi tunani ya ce,
Now Saul’s daughter Michal loved David, and when this was reported to Saul, it pleased him.
21 “Zan ba shi ita tă zama masa tarko, da haka Filistiyawa za su same shi.” Shawulu ya ce wa Dawuda, “Yanzu kana da dama sau na biyu ka zama surukina.”
“I will give her to David,” Saul thought, “so that she may be a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” So Saul said to David, “For a second time now you can be my son-in-law.”
22 Sai Shawulu ya umarci ma’aikatansa cewa, “Ku yi magana da Dawuda asirce ku ce, ‘Duba, sarki yana farin ciki da kai, dukan ma’aikatansa kuma suna sonka, ka yarda ka zama surukinsa.’”
Then Saul ordered his servants, “Speak to David privately and tell him, ‘Behold, the king is pleased with you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become his son-in-law.’”
23 Suka sāke yi wa Dawuda wannan magana amma Dawuda ya ce, “Kuna tsammani abu mai sauƙi ne mutum yă zama surukin sarki? Ni talaka ne, kuma ba sananne ba.”
But when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”
24 Da ma’aikatan Shawulu suka gaya masa abin da Dawuda ya faɗa.
And the servants told Saul what David had said.
25 Sai Shawulu ya ce, “Ku gaya wa Dawuda, ‘Sarki ba ya bukatan kuɗin auren’yarsa, sai dai loɓar Filistiyawa domin ramako a kan abokan gābansa.’” Shawulu yana shiri ne domin Dawuda yă fāɗa a hannun Filistiyawa.
Saul replied, “Say to David, ‘The king desires no other dowry but a hundred Philistine foreskins as revenge on his enemies.’” But Saul intended to cause David’s death at the hands of the Philistines.
26 Da ma’aikatan suka gaya wa Dawuda waɗannan abubuwa, sai ya yi murna don zai zama surukin sarki. Amma kafin lokacin yă cika,
When the servants reported these terms to David, he was pleased to become the king’s son-in-law. Before the wedding day arrived,
27 Dawuda da mutanensa suka fita suka kashe Filistiyawa ɗari biyu, suka kawo loɓar suka miƙa wa sarki, domin yă zama surukin sarki. Sai Shawulu ya ba da’yarsa Mikal aure ga Dawuda.
David and his men went out and killed two hundred Philistines. He brought their foreskins and presented them as payment in full to become the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave his daughter Michal to David in marriage.
28 Da Shawulu ya gane Ubangiji yana tare da Dawuda,’yarsa Mikal kuma tana ƙaunarsa,
When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
29 sai Shawulu ya ƙara jin tsoron Dawuda har ya zama maƙiyinsa a dukan sauran rayuwarsa.
he grew even more afraid of David. So from then on Saul was David’s enemy.
30 Manyan sojojin Filistiyawa suka yi ta fita suna yaƙi da Isra’ilawa, amma kullum Dawuda yakan sami nasara fiye da sauran manyan sojojin Shawulu. Ta haka ya yi suna ƙwarai.
Every time the Philistine commanders came out for battle, David was more successful than all of Saul’s officers, so that his name was highly esteemed.
