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.
And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that, the soul of Jonathan, was knit with, the soul of David, so that Jonathan loved him, as his own soul.
2 Tun daga wannan rana Shawulu ya zaunar da Dawuda tare da shi, bai bar shi ya koma gidan mahaifinsa ba.
And Saul took him, that day, —and suffered him not to return unto the house of his father.
3 Yonatan kuma ya yi yarjejjeniya da Dawuda saboda yana ƙaunarsa kamar ransa.
And Jonathan and David solemnised a covenant, —because he loved him as his own soul.
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 stripped himself of the robe which was upon him, and gave it to David, —and his equipments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
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.
And David went forth—whithersoever Saul sent him, he behaved himself prudently, so Saul set him over the men of war, —and he became a favourite in the eyes of all the people, yea even in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
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.
But so it was, when they came in on the return of David from the smiting of the Philistine, that the women went forth out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet Saul the king, —with timbrels, with rejoicing, and with instruments of three strings.
7 Suna rawa suna cewa, “Shawulu ya kashe dubbansa, Dawuda kuwa ya kashe dubun dubbai.”
And the women that made merry responded to each other in song, and said, —Saul, hath smitten, his thousands, but, 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?”
Then was Saul exceeding angry, and this saying was offensive in his eyes, and he said, —They have ascribed, to David, ten thousands, but, to me, have they ascribed thousands, —What, more, then, can he have but, the kingdom?
9 Tun daga wannan lokaci zuwa gaba, Shawulu ya dinga kishin Dawuda.
And Saul was eyeing David from that day forward.
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.
And, when it came to pass, on the morrow, that a superhuman spirit of sadness came suddenly upon Saul, and he was moved to raving in the midst of the house, —and, David, began playing with his hand, as he had done day by day, that a spear being in Saul’s hand,
11 Da ƙarfi yana magana da kansa yana cewa, “Zan kafe Dawuda da bango.” Amma Dawuda ya bauɗe masa sau biyu.
Saul hurled the spear, and said to himself—I will smite David, even to the wall! But David moved round from before him, twice.
12 Shawulu ya ji tsoron Dawuda don Ubangiji yana tare da shi, amma Ubangiji ya riga ya bar Shawulu.
And Saul feared because of David, —for Yahweh was with him, whereas, from Saul, he had departed.
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.
So Saul removed him from him, and appointed him to be for him the captain of a thousand, —and he went out and came in before the people.
14 A kome da Dawuda ya yi yakan yi nasara gama Ubangiji yana tare da shi.
And it came to pass that David, in all his ways, acted prudently, —and, Yahweh, was with him.
15 Da Shawulu ya ga yadda yake cin nasara, sai ya ji tsoronsa.
And, when Saul saw that, he, was acting very prudently, 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, were in love with David, —for he was going out and coming in before them.
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.”
So then Saul said unto David—Lo! my elder daughter Merab, her, will I give thee to wife, only, approve thyself unto me as a son of valour and fight the battles of Yahweh. Saul, however, had said to himself—Let not, my own hand, be upon him, but let, the hand of the Philistines, be upon 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 unto Saul—Who am, I, or who are my kinsfolk, the family of my father, in Israel, —that I should become son-in-law, to 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.
But it came to pass, within the time for giving Merab daughter of Saul to David, that, she, was given to Adriel the Meholathite, to wife.
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,
Then did Michal, Saul’s daughter, love David, —and it was told Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
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.”
And Saul said to himself—I will give her unto him, that she may prove to him a snare, and that, the hand of the Philistines, may be upon him. So then Saul said unto David, A second time, mayest thou become my son-in-law to-day.
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.’”
And Saul commanded his servants—Speak ye unto David quietly saying, Lo! the king delighteth in thee, and, all his servants, love thee, —now, therefore, become thou son-in-law to the king.
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.”
And the servants of Saul spake, in the ears of David, these words. And David said—Seemeth it a light thing, in your eyes, to become son-in-law to the king, seeing that, I, am a poor man and lightly esteemed?
24 Da ma’aikatan Shawulu suka gaya masa abin da Dawuda ya faɗa.
So the servants of Saul told him, saying, —According to these words, spake David,
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.
Then said Saul—Thus, shall ye say unto David—The king hath no delight in purchase-price, but rather in a hundred foreskins of Philistines, by avenging himself on the enemies of the king. But, Saul, thought to let David fall by the hand 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,
So, when his servants told David these words, the thing was right in the eyes of David, to become son-in-law unto the king, —and the days had not expired.
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.
Wherefore David arose, and went—he and his men, and smote among the Philistines two hundred men, and David brought in their foreskins, and gave them in full tale unto the king, that he might become son-in-law unto the king, and Saul gave him Michal his daughter, to wife.
28 Da Shawulu ya gane Ubangiji yana tare da Dawuda,’yarsa Mikal kuma tana ƙaunarsa,
And Saul saw and knew that, Yahweh, was with David, and that, all Israel, loved him.
29 sai Shawulu ya ƙara jin tsoron Dawuda har ya zama maƙiyinsa a dukan sauran rayuwarsa.
So then Saul went on to fear because of David, yet more, —and it came to pass that Saul was hostile to David, all the days.
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.
And, when the princes of the Philistines came forth, so it was, that, as often as they came forth, David was more circumspect than any of the servants of Saul, so that his name was, precious exceedingly.
