1 Sama’ila 20
1 Sai Dawuda ya gudu daga Nayiwot a Rama ya je wurin Yonatan ya ce, “Me na yi? Wane laifi ne na yi? Ta wace hanya ce na yi wa mahaifinka laifi har da yake neman yă kashe ni?”
And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what [is] mine iniquity? and what [is] my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
2 Yonatan ya ce, “Faufau, ba za ka mutu ba! Ka ji nan, mahaifina ba ya yin kome ba tare da ya shawarce da ni ba. Me ya sa ya ɓoye mini wannan? Ba zai yiwu ba.”
And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it [is] not [so].
3 Sai Dawuda ya rantse ya ce, “Mahaifinka ya san cewa, na sami tagomashi a gare ka, domin haka ba zai sanar maka da wannan ba, don kada yă baƙanta maka rai. Na rantse da Ubangiji, da kai kuma, taki ɗaya kaɗai ya rage tsakanina da mutuwa.”
And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly [as] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, [there is] but a step between me and death.
4 Sai Yonatan ya ce, “Duk abin da kake so in yi maka zan yi.”
Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do [it] for thee.
5 Dawuda ya ce, “Gobe fa shi ne Bikin Sabon Wata, ya kamata in ci tare da sarki amma bari in tafi fili in ɓuya har jibi da yamma.
And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow [is] the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third [day] at even.
6 In mahaifinka bai gan ni ba, ka gaya masa cewa, ‘Dawuda ya nemi izinina domin yă hanzarta yă tafi garinsa a Betlehem saboda ana hadaya ta shekara-shekara don dukan zuriyarsa.’
If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked [leave] of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for [there is] a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
7 In ya yi na’am, to, bawanka ya tsira. Amma in ka ga ya damu, to, ka tabbata ya yi niyya yă kashe ni.
If he say thus, [It is] well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, [then] be sure that evil is determined by him.
8 Kai kuma, ka nuna alheri ga bawanka, gama ka riga ka yi yarjejjeniya da ni a gaban Ubangiji, in kuwa na yi laifi ne sai ka kashe ni da kanka. Don me za ka bashe ni ga mahaifinka?”
Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
9 Yonatan ya ce, “Labudda! In na ji ƙishin-ƙishin, cewa mahaifina yana neman yă kashe ka ashe, ba zan gaya maka ba?”
And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
10 Dawuda ya ce, “Wa zai gaya mini idan mahaifinka ya amsa maka da amsa marar daɗi?”
Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what [if] thy father answer thee roughly?
11 Yonatan ya ce, “Zo mu fita zuwa fili.” Sai suka tafi tare.
And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
12 Sai Yonatan ya ce wa Dawuda, “Na yi rantse da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila cewa war haka jibi, zan yi ƙoƙari in ji daga mahaifina, idan ya yi magana mai kyau game da kai, zan gaya maka.
And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, [or] the third [day], and, behold, [if there be] good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;
13 Amma in mahaifina ya sa zuciya yă cuce ka, Ubangiji yă hukunta ni da hukunci mai tsanani in ban gaya maka ba, in kuma sa ka ka tafi lafiya. Ubangiji yă kasance tare da kai kamar yadda ya kasance da mahaifina.
The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father [to do] thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
14 Amma ka nuna mini alheri marar ƙarewa iri ta Ubangiji dukan rayuwata don kada a kashe ni.
And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
15 Kada kuma ka yanke alherinka ga iyalina ko da Ubangiji ya hallaka dukan maƙiyin Dawuda a duniya.”
But [also] thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
16 Saboda haka Yonatan ya yi yarjejjeniya da gidan Dawuda cewa Ubangiji yă kawo dukan maƙiyin Dawuda ga mutuwa.
So Jonathan made [a covenant] with the house of David, [saying], Let the LORD even require [it] at the hand of David’s enemies.
17 Yonatan kuwa ya sa Dawuda ya sāke tabbatar masa rantsuwansa game da abokantakarsa da shi, gama yana ƙaunar Dawuda kamar ransa.
And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
18 Sai Yonatan ya gaya wa Dawuda cewa, “Gobe ne Bikin Sabon Wata, za a rasa ka, da yake kujerarka za tă kasance ba kowa a kai.
Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow [is] the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
19 Jibi wajajen yamma, ka tafi wurin da ka ɓuya lokacin da wannan matsala ta fara, ka tsaya kusa da dutsen Etsel.
And [when] thou hast stayed three days, [then] thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was [in hand], and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
20 Zan harbi kibiya uku ta wajen, sai ka ce dai ina harbin baka.
And I will shoot three arrows on the side [thereof], as though I shot at a mark.
21 Sa’an nan zan aiki yaro in ce masa, ‘Je ka nemo kibiyoyin.’ In na ce masa, ‘Duba, kibiyoyin suna wannan gefen da kake, kawo su,’ sai ka fito, wato, tabbatacce muddin Ubangiji yana raye, ka tsira, ba wani hatsari.
And, behold, I will send a lad, [saying], Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows [are] on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for [there is] peace to thee, and no hurt; [as] the LORD liveth.
22 Amma in na ce wa yaron, ‘Duba, kibiyoyin suna gaba da kai,’ sai ka tafi, gama Ubangiji ya sallame ka.
But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows [are] beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.
23 Game da al’amarin da muka tattauna da ni da kai kuwa, ka tuna fa Ubangiji ne shaida tsakanina da kai har abada.”
And [as touching] the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD [be] between thee and me for ever.
24 Dawuda ya tafi ya ɓuya a fili. Sa’ad da ranar Bikin Sabon Wata ta zo, sarki ya zauna don yă ci.
So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
25 Ya zauna a kujeransa inda ya saba zama kusa da bango yana fuskantar Yonatan, Abner kuma ya zauna kusa da sarki. Amma kujeran Dawuda ba kowa.
And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, [even] upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place was empty.
26 Shawulu bai ce kome ba a ranar domin ya yi tsammani wataƙila wani abu ya faru da Dawuda ya mai da shi marar tsarki, tabbatacce ba shi da tsarki.
Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he [is] not clean; surely he [is] not clean.
27 Amma kashegari, rana ta biyu ga wata, kujeran Dawuda kuma ba kowa, sai Shawulu ya ce wa ɗansa Yonatan, “Me ya sa ɗan Yesse bai zo cin abinci, jiya da yau ba?”
And it came to pass on the morrow, [which was] the second [day] of the month, that David’s place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
28 Yonatan ya ce, “Dawuda ya nemi izinina don yă tafi Betlehem.
And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked [leave] of me [to go] to Beth-lehem:
29 Ya ce, ‘Bari in tafi gama iyalinmu suna miƙa hadaya a gari,’yan’uwana kuwa sun gayyace ni in kasance a can. In na sami yardarka, bari in tafi in ga’yan’uwana.’ Dalilin ke nan da bai zo ci da sarki ba.”
And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me [to be there: ] and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king’s table.
30 Fushin Shawulu ya ƙuna a kan Yonatan, sai ya ce masa, “Kai shege ne, haihuwar banzan mace; ai, na san kana goyon bayan ɗan Yesse don ka wulaƙantar da kanka da mahaifinka.
Then Saul’s anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious [woman], do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother’s nakedness?
31 Muddin ɗan Yesse yana da rai a duniya, ba za ka kahu ba. Sarautarka kuma ba za tă kahu ba. Yanzu sai ka je ka kawo mini shi. Dole yă mutu.”
For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
32 Yonatan ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Me ya sa zai mutu? Me ya yi?”
And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?
33 Amma Shawulu ya jefe shi da māshi don yă kashe shi. A nan ne Yonatan ya san lalle mahaifinsa ya yi niyya yă kashe Dawuda.
And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
34 Yonatan ya tashi daga tebur cin abincin da fushi. A rana ta biyun kuwa bai ci abinci ba, gama yana baƙin ciki game da rashin kunyar mahaifinsa game da Dawuda.
So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
35 Da safe Yonatan ya tafi domin yă sadu da Dawuda a fili. Ya tafi tare da wani ƙaramin yaro.
And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
36 Ya ce wa yaron, “Yi ruga da gudu ka nemo kibiyoyin da na harba.” Da yaron ya ruga sai ya harba kibiya a gaba da shi.
And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. [And] as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
37 Da yaron ya isa wurin da kibiyan Yonatan ya fāɗi, Yonatan ya kira shi ya ce, “Kibiyan na gabanka fa.”
And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, [Is] not the arrow beyond thee?
38 Sai ya tā da murya ya ce, “Maza, yi sauri kada ka tsaya.” Yaron ya ɗauko kibiya ya kawo wa maigidansa.
And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
39 (Yaron kuwa bai san kome game da wannan abu ba, sai Yonatan da Dawuda kawai.)
But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Yonatan ya ba wa yaron makaman ya ce, “Ka ɗauka ka koma gari.”
And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry [them] to the city.
41 Da yaron ya tafi, sai Dawuda ya tashi daga inda ya ɓuya kusa da tarin duwatsu, ya rusuna har sau uku. Sa’an nan suka sumbaci juna, suka yi kuka, Dawuda kuwa ya yi kuka sosai.
[And] as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of [a place] toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
42 Yonatan ya ce wa Dawuda, “Sauka lafiya, mun riga mun yi rantsuwar abokantaka da juna a cikin sunan Ubangiji cewa, ‘Ubangiji ne shaida tsakanina da kai, tsakanin zuriyarka da zuriyata har abada.’” Sai Dawuda ya tafi, Yonatan kuwa ya koma gari.
And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
