1 Sama’ila 22
1 Dawuda ya bar Gat, ya tsere zuwa kogon Adullam. Da’yan’uwansa da kuma iyalan mahaifinsa suka ji labari, sai suka tafi can wurinsa.
And David goes from there, and escapes to the cave of Adullam, and his brothers hear, and all the house of his father, and they go down to him there;
2 Dukan mutanen da suke cikin wahala, da waɗanda ake binsu bashi, da masu damuwoyi, suka tattaru a wurin Dawuda. Shi kuwa ya zama shugabansu. Yawansu ya kai ɗari huɗu.
and every man in distress gathers themselves to him, and every man who has an exactor, and every man bitter in soul, and he is for head over them, and there are about four hundred men with him.
3 Daga can Dawuda ya tafi Mizfa a Mowab. Ya ce wa sarkin Mowab, “Za ka yarda mahaifina da mahaifiyata su zo su zauna a wurinka kafin in san abin da Allah zai yi da ni?”
And David goes from there to Mizpeh of Moab and says to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out with you, until I know what God does for me”;
4 Saboda haka ya bar su a wurin sarkin Mowab, suka zauna da shi duk tsawon lokacin da Dawuda yake ta ɓuya a kogwannin duwatsu.
and he leads them before the king of Moab, and they dwell with him all the days of David’s being in the fortress.
5 Amma annabin nan Gad ya ce wa Dawuda, “Kada ka zauna a nan, maza ka tashi ka shiga ƙasar Yahuda”. Sai Dawuda ya tashi ya tafi jejin Heret.
And the prophet Gad says to David, “You do not abide in a fortress, go, and you have entered the land of Judah for yourself”; and David goes and enters the forest of Hareth.
6 Sai Shawulu ya sami labari cewa an ga Dawuda da mutanensa. Shawulu kuwa yana zaune da māshinsa kusa a ƙarƙashin itacen tsamiya a tudun Gibeya, tare da dukan ma’aikatansa kewaye da shi.
And Saul hears that David has become known, and the men who [are] with him, and Saul is abiding in Gibeah, under the grove in Ramah, and his spear [is] in his hand, and all his servants [are] standing by him.
7 Ya ce musu, “Mutanen Benyamin, ku saurara; ɗan Yesse zai iya ba dukanku filaye da gonakin inabi ne? Zai ba dukanku shugabanci na dubbai ko shugabanci na ɗari-ɗari?
And Saul says to his servants who are standing by him, “Now hear, sons of Benjamin; does the son of Jesse also give fields and vineyards to all of you? Does he appoint all of you [to be] heads of thousands and heads of hundreds?
8 Abin da ya sa dukanku kuka gama baki a kaina? Ba wanda ya gaya mini lokacin da ɗana ya yi yarjejjeniya da ɗan Yesse, ba wanda ya kulla da ni, ko ya gaya mini cewa ɗana ya sa bawana yă tayar mini, yana fakona kamar yadda yake a yau.”
For all of you have conspired against me, and there is none uncovering my ear about my son’s cutting [a covenant] with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you grieving for me, and uncovering my ear, that my son has raised up my servant against me, to lie in wait as [at] this day.”
9 Amma Doyeg mutumin Edom da yake tsaye tare da fadawan Shawulu ya ce, “Na ga ɗan Yesse ya zo wurin Ahimelek ɗan Ahitub a Nob.
And Doeg the Edomite answers, who is set over the servants of Saul, and says, “I have seen the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub,
10 Ahimelek ya roƙi Ubangiji saboda shi, ya kuma ba shi guzuri da takobin Goliyat Bafilistin.”
and he inquires of YHWH for him, and has given provision to him, and has given the sword of Goliath the Philistine to him.”
11 Sai sarki ya aika aka kira masa Ahimelek firist ɗan Ahitub da dukan iyalin mahaifinsa. Dukansu suka zo wurin sarki.
And the king sends to call Ahimelech son of Ahitub, the priest, and all the house of his father, the priests, who [are] in Nob, and all of them come to the king;
12 Shawulu ya ce, “Ka saurara yanzu, ɗan Ahitub.” Ya amsa ya ce, “Ina saurara, ranka yă daɗe.”
and Saul says, “Now hear, son of Ahitub”; and he says, “Here I [am], my lord.”
13 Shawulu ya ce masa, “Don me ka gama baki da ɗan Yesse a kaina har ka ba shi burodi da takobin (Goliyat), ka kuma roƙi Allah don yă tayar mini, yă kuma yi fakona kamar yadda yake yi yau?”
And Saul says to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, by your giving bread and a sword to him, and to inquire of God for him, to rise against me, to lie in wait, as [at] this day?”
14 Ahimelek ya ce wa sarki, “A cikin bayinka duka, wa ke da aminci iri na Dawuda, surukin sarki, shugaban jarumanka wanda ake girmamawa da gaske a gidanka?
And Ahimelech answers the king and says, “And who among all your servants [is] as David—faithful, and son-in-law of the king, and has turned aside to your council, and is honored in your house?
15 A wannan rana ce da na fara roƙon Allah saboda shi? Kada sarki yă zargi bawansa ko wani daga iyalin mahaifinsa, gama bawanka bai san kome a kan dukan waɗannan al’amura ba.”
Today have I begun to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king lay anything against his servant, against any of the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, little or much.”
16 Amma sarki ya ce, “Lalle Ahimelek za ka mutu, da kai da dukan iyalin mahaifinka.”
And the king says, “You surely die, Ahimelech, you and all the house of your father.”
17 Sai sarki ya umarci matsaran da suke tsaye kusa da shi ya ce, “Ku kakkashe firistocin Ubangiji, gama su ma sun goyi bayan Dawuda. Sun san yana gudu, duk da haka ba su gaya mini ba.” Amma ma’aikatan sarki ba su yarda su sa hannu su kashe firistocin Ubangiji ba.
And the king says to the runners, those standing by him, “Turn around, and put the priests of YHWH to death, because their hand [is] also with David, and because they have known that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered my ear”; and the servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their hand to come against the priests of YHWH.
18 Sai sarki ya umarce Doyeg ya ce, “Ka juya ka kakkashe firistocin.” Doyeg mutumin Edom ya juya ya kakkashe firistocin. A ranar kuwa ya kashe mutum tamanin da biyar waɗanda suke sanye da efod na lilin.
And the king says to Doeg, “Turn around, and come against the priests”; and Doeg the Edomite turns around, and comes against the priests himself, and in that day puts to death eighty-five men bearing a linen ephod,
19 Ya kuma hallaka Nob birnin firistoci, ya kashe dukan mata, da maza, da yara, da jarirai, da shanu, da jakuna, da kuma tumaki.
and Nob, the city of the priests, he has struck by the mouth of the sword, from man and to woman, from infant and to suckling, and ox, and donkey, and sheep, by the mouth of the sword.
20 Amma Abiyatar ɗan Ahimelek jikan Ahitub ya tsere, ya gudu zuwa wurin Dawuda.
And one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub, escapes, and his name [is] Abiathar, and he flees after David,
21 Abiyatar gaya wa Dawuda cewa, “Shawulu ya hallaka firistocin Ubangiji.”
and Abiathar declares to David that Saul has slain the priests of YHWH.
22 Dawuda ya ce wa Abiyatar, “Lalle a wancan ranar, sa’ad da na ga Doyeg mutumin Edom a can, na san tabbatacce zai gaya wa sarki. Ni ne sanadin mutuwar dukan iyalin mahaifinka.
And David says to Abiathar, “I have known on that day when Doeg the Edomite [is] there, that he certainly declares [it] to Saul; I have brought [it] around to every person of the house of your father;
23 Ka zauna tare da ni, kada ka ji tsoro mutumin da yake neman ranka, yana nema raina ma. Ka zauna lafiya tare da ni.”
dwell with me; do not fear; for he who seeks my life seeks your life; for you [are my] charge with me.”
