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?”
David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my iniquity? What is my sin before your father, that he seeks 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.”
He said to him, “Far from it; you will not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small, but that he discloses it to me. Why would 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.”
David swore moreover, and said, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes; and he says, ‘Don’t let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved;’ but truly as Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, 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 Jonathan said to David, “Whatever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.”
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.
David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to dine with the king; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field to the third day at evening.
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 your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem, 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 says, ‘It is well,’ your servant shall have peace; but if he is angry, 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 your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Yahweh with you; but if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?”
9 Yonatan ya ce, “Labudda! In na ji ƙishin-ƙishin, cewa mahaifina yana neman yă kashe ka ashe, ba zan gaya maka ba?”
Jonathan said, “Far be it from you; for if I should at all know that evil were determined by my father to come on you, then wouldn’t I tell you that?”
10 Dawuda ya ce, “Wa zai gaya mini idan mahaifinka ya amsa maka da amsa marar daɗi?”
Then David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me if your father answers you roughly?”
11 Yonatan ya ce, “Zo mu fita zuwa fili.” Sai suka tafi tare.
Jonathan said to David, “Come! Let’s go out into the field.” They both went out 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.
Jonathan said to David, “By Yahweh, the God of Israel, when I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good toward David, won’t I then send to you and disclose it to you?
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.
Yahweh do so to Jonathan and more also, should it please my father to do you evil, if I don’t disclose it to you and send you away, that you may go in peace. May Yahweh be with you as he has been with my father.
14 Amma ka nuna mini alheri marar ƙarewa iri ta Ubangiji dukan rayuwata don kada a kashe ni.
You shall not only show me the loving kindness of Yahweh while I still live, that I not die;
15 Kada kuma ka yanke alherinka ga iyalina ko da Ubangiji ya hallaka dukan maƙiyin Dawuda a duniya.”
but you shall also not cut off your kindness from my house forever, no, not when Yahweh has cut off every one of the enemies of David from the surface 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 David’s house, saying, “Yahweh will 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.
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 to him, “Tomorrow is the new moon, and you will be missed, because your 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.
When you have stayed three days, go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself when this started, and remain by the stone Ezel.
20 Zan harbi kibiya uku ta wajen, sai ka ce dai ina harbin baka.
I will shoot three arrows on its side, 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.
Behold, I will send the boy, saying, ‘Go, find the arrows!’ If I tell the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are on this side of you. Take them;’ then come, for there is peace to you and no danger, as Yahweh lives.
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 this to the boy, ‘Behold, the arrows are beyond you,’ then go your way, for Yahweh has sent you 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.”
Concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, Yahweh is between you and me forever.”
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. When the new moon had come, the king sat himself down to eat food.
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.
The king sat on his seat, as at other times, even on 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 didn’t say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to 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?”
On the next day after the new moon, the second day, David’s place was empty. Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why didn’t the son of Jesse come to eat, either yesterday, or today?”
28 Yonatan ya ce, “Dawuda ya nemi izinina don yă tafi Betlehem.
Jonathan answered Saul, “David earnestly asked permission of me to go to Bethlehem.
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.”
He said, ‘Please let me go, for our family has a sacrifice in the city. My brother has commanded me to be there. Now, if I have found favor in your eyes, please let me go away and see my brothers.’ Therefore he has not come to 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 burned against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse rebellious woman, don’t I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your 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 lives on the earth, you will not be established, nor will your kingdom. Therefore now send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die!”
32 Yonatan ya ce wa mahaifinsa, “Me ya sa zai mutu? Me ya yi?”
Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, “Why should he be put to death? What has 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.
Saul cast his spear at him to strike him. By this Jonathan knew that his father was determined 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 ate no food the second day of the month; for he was grieved for David, because his father had treated him shamefully.
35 Da safe Yonatan ya tafi domin yă sadu da Dawuda a fili. Ya tafi tare da wani ƙaramin yaro.
In the morning, Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little boy 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.
He said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows which I shoot.” As the boy 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.”
When the boy had come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the boy, and said, “Isn’t the arrow beyond you?”
38 Sai ya tā da murya ya ce, “Maza, yi sauri kada ka tsaya.” Yaron ya ɗauko kibiya ya kawo wa maigidansa.
Jonathan cried after the boy, “Go fast! Hurry! Don’t delay!” Jonathan’s boy 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 boy didn’t know anything. Only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
40 Yonatan ya ba wa yaron makaman ya ce, “Ka ɗauka ka koma gari.”
Jonathan gave his weapons to his boy, and said to 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.
As soon as the boy was gone, David arose out of the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times. They kissed one another and wept with one another, and David wept the most.
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.
Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have both sworn in Yahweh’s name, saying, ‘Yahweh is between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, forever.’” He arose and departed; and Jonathan went into the city.
