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 doeth nothing either great or small, but that he discloseth it unto 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 knoweth well 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, tomorrow 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 miss me at all, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for it is the 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 wroth, then know 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 deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: but 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 should at all know 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 if perchance 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, The LORD, the God of Israel, [be witness]; when I have sounded my father about this time tomorrow, [or] the third day, behold, if there be good toward David, shall I not then send unto thee, and disclose it unto 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 to Jonathan, and more also, should it please my father to do thee evil, if I disclose it not unto 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], And the LORD shall 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, for the love that he had to 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 unto him, Tomorrow 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, 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 the lad, [saying], Go, find the arrows. If I say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee: take them, and come; 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 boy, 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 is 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 the seat by the wall; and Jonathan stood up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side: but 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 after the new moon, [which was] the second [day], 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 today?
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 is not come 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 a perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own shame, and unto the shame 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 stablished, 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 should he be put to death? 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 his spear at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to put David to death.
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 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 weapons 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 shall 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.
