1 Sama’ila 19
1 Shawulu ya gaya wa ɗansa Yonatan da ma’aikatansa su kashe Dawuda. Amma Yonatan yana son Dawuda sosai.
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that he would kill David. But Jonathan the son of Saul delighted greatly in David.
2 Sai ya gargaɗe shi ya ce, “Mahaifina Shawulu yana neman hanyar da zai kashe ka. Ka kula da kanka gobe da safe, ka tafi wani wuri ka ɓuya.
And Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
3 Zan je in tsaya da mahaifina a fili inda kake, zan yi masa magana game da kai. Zan kuma gaya maka abin da na ji.”
And I will go out and stand by the side of my father in the field where thou art, and I myself will speak of thee to my father; and I will see what it is, and I will tell thee.
4 Yonatan ya yi magana mai kyau a kan Dawuda a wajen mahaifinsa ya ce, “Kada sarki yă yi wani mummunan abu wa bawansa Dawuda, gama bai yi maka wani abu marar kyau ba. Abin da ya yi ya amfane ka ƙwarai da gaske.
And Jonathan spoke favorably of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; since he hath not sinned against thee, and because his deeds are very good for thee;
5 Ya yi kasai da ransa sa’ad da ya kashe Bafilistin nan. Ubangiji ya ba wa dukan Isra’ila babban nasara, ka gani, ka kuma yi farin ciki. Don me za ka ci mutuncin amintaccen mutum kamar Dawuda ta wurin kashe shi ba tare da wani dalili ba?”
And he did put his life in his hand, and he slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought a great salvation for all Israel; thou sawest it, and wast rejoiced: wherefore then wilt thou commit sin on innocent blood, by slaying David without a cause?
6 Shawulu ya saurari Yonatan sai ya rantse ya ce, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, ba za a kashe Dawuda ba.”
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul swore, As the Lord liveth, he shall not be put to death.
7 Ta haka Yonatan ya kira Dawuda ya gaya masa dukan maganarsu. Ya kawo shi wurin Shawulu, Dawuda kuwa ya zauna tare da Shawulu kamar dā.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
8 Wani yaƙi ya sāke tashi, Dawuda kuwa ya fita ya yaƙi Filistiyawa, ya kai musu hari mai tsanani, sai da suka gudu a gabansa.
And the war occurred again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and smote them with a great defeat, and they fled from before him.
9 Amma mugun ruhu daga Ubangiji ya sauko wa Shawulu yayinda yana zaune a cikin gidansa da māshi a hannunsa. Yayinda Dawuda yake bugan molo,
And the evil spirit from the Lord came upon Saul, and he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
10 Shawulu ya yi ƙoƙari yă kafe shi da bango da māshinsa, amma Dawuda ya goce sa’ad da Shawulu jefa māshin a bango. A daren nan Dawuda ya nemi hanya ya gudu.
And Saul sought to strike David through with the spear even to the wall; but he slipped away from before Saul, who struck the spear into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
11 Shawulu ya aiki mutane zuwa gidan Dawuda su yi gadin gidan, su kuma kashe Dawuda. Amma Mikal matar Dawuda ta gargaɗe Dawuda, ta ce, “In ba ka gudu a daren nan ba, kashegari za a kashe ka.”
But Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal his wife told it to David, saying, If thou save not thy life this night, tomorrow thou wilt be put to death.
12 Haka kuwa Mikal ta sauko da Dawuda ta taga ya gudu, ya tsere.
And Michal let David down through the window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 Sai Mikal ta ɗauki gunki ta kwantar da shi a gādo, ta sa masa gashin akuya a kansa, sai ta rufe da mayafi.
And Michal took an image, and put it in the bed, and a pillow of goats' hair she put for its head to rest on, and covered it with a cloth.
14 Da Shawulu ya aiki mutane su kama Dawuda. Mikal ta ce, “Ba shi da lafiya.”
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
15 Sai Shawulu ya sāke aiki mutanen su ga Dawuda, ya ce musu, “Ku kawo shi a gādonsa domin in kashe shi.”
And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may put him to death.
16 Amma da mutanen suka shiga sai suka ga gunkin a gadon, a wajen kan kuwa akwai gashin akuya.
And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for its head to rest on.
17 Shawulu ya ce wa Mikal, “Don me kika ruɗe ni har kika bar maƙiyina ya gudu ya tsere?” Mikal ta ce masa, “Ya ce mini, ‘Idan ban bar shi ya tafi ba, zai kashe ni?’”
And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou thus deceived me, and sent away my enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal said to Saul, He said unto me, Let me go away: why should I kill thee?
18 Da Dawuda ya gudu ya tsere, sai ya tafi wurin Sama’ila a Rama ya gaya masa dukan abin da Shawulu ya yi masa. Da shi da Sama’ila suka tafi Nayiwot suka zauna a can.
So David fled, and escaped, and came unto Samuel to Ramah, and he told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and remained in Nayoth.
19 Shawulu ya sami labari cewa, “Dawuda yana Nayiwot a Rama.”
And it was told unto Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Nayoth near Ramah.
20 Sai ya aiki mutane su je su kamo Dawuda, amma da suka ga ƙungiyar annabawa suna annabci tare da Sama’ila shugabansu a tsaye, sai Ruhun Allah ya sauko wa mutanen Shawulu, su ma suka fara yin annabci.
And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as superintendent over them: then came upon the messengers of Saul the spirit of God, and they also prophesied.
21 Shawulu ya sami labari game da wannan, sai ya sāke aiken waɗansu da yawa. Su ma suka shiga yin annabci. Shawulu ya sāke aiken mutane sau na uku, su kuma suka shiga yin annabci.
And when it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and these prophesied likewise. And Saul sent again messengers the third time, and these also prophesied.
22 A ƙarshe, shi da kansa ya tashi ya tafi Rama. Ya bi ta babban rijiyar ruwan Seku. A can ya yi tambaya ya ce, “Ina Sama’ila da Dawuda suke?” Suka ce, “Suna cikin Nayiwot a Rama.”
Then went he himself also to Ramah, and came as far as the great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And some one said, Behold, they are at Nayoth near Ramah.
23 Saboda haka Shawulu ya tafi Nayiwot a Rama, amma Ruhun Allah ya sauko masa, shi ma ya yi tafiya yana annabci har sai da ya isa Nayiwot.
And he went thither to Nayoth near Ramah: and there came upon him also the Spirit of God, and he went on, and prophesied as he went, until he came to Nayoth near Ramah.
24 Ya tuttuɓe rigunarsa, ya kuma yi annabci a gaban Sama’ila. Ya kwanta tsirara dukan yini da dukan dare. Abin da ya sa ke nan mutane suke cewa, “Shawulu ma yana cikin annabawa ne?”
And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied himself before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore people are in the habit of saying, Is Saul too among the prophets?
