1 Sama’ila 24
1 Bayan da Shawulu ya komo daga fafaran Filistiyawa, sai aka gaya masa cewa, “Dawuda yana can a Jejin En Gedi.”
Pea ʻi he liu mai ʻa Saula mei heʻene tuli ʻae kau Filisitia, pea hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe tala kiate ia, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he toafa ʻo Eni-Keti ʻa Tevita.”
2 Saboda haka Shawulu ya zaɓi mutum dubu uku daga cikin dukan Isra’ila, suka fita neman Dawuda da mutanensa kusa da Duwatsun Awakin Jeji.
Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe Saula ʻae kau tangata naʻe fili ʻe toko tolu afe mei ʻIsileli kotoa pē, pea naʻe ʻalu ia ke kumi ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ʻi he funga ʻoe ngaahi maka ʻoe fanga kosi kaivao.
3 Da Shawulu ya isa inda ake ajiye garken tumaki a bakin hanya inda akwai kogo, sai ya shiga ciki kogon don yă yi bayan gari. Dawuda da mutanensa kuwa suna can zaune a ƙurewar kogon.
Pea naʻe hoko ia ki he ngaahi lotoʻā sipi ʻi he veʻehala, ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ʻana, pea hū ki ai ʻa Saula ke ʻufiʻufi hono vaʻe: pea naʻe ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻana ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata.
4 Mutanen Dawuda suka ce, wannan rana ce Ubangiji ya yi magana ya ce maka, “Zan ba da maƙiyinka a hannunka domin ka yi abin da ka ga dama da shi.” Sai Dawuda ya tashi a hankali ya je ya yanke shafin rigar Shawulu.
Pea pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Tevita kiate ia, “Vakai, ko eni ʻae ʻaho ʻaia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kiate koe, Vakai, te u tukuange ho fili ki ho nima, koeʻuhi ke ke fai kiate ia ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate koe.” Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tevita ʻo ne heleʻi ʻo motuhi fakafufū ʻae mui kofu ʻo Saula.
5 Daga baya Dawuda ya damu domin ya yanke shafin rigar Shawulu.
Pea hili ʻa hono fai naʻe tautea ʻa Tevita ʻe hono loto, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene motuhi ʻae potu ʻoe kofu ʻo Saula.
6 Ya ce wa mutanensa, “Ubangiji yă sawwaƙe in yi abu haka ga shugabana da Ubangiji ya shafe, ko in ɗaga hannuna in kashe shi, gama shi shafaffe ne na Ubangiji.”
Pea pehē ʻe ia ki hono kakai, “Ke taʻofi ʻe Sihova ke ʻoua naʻaku fai ʻae meʻa ni ki hoku ʻeiki, ko e fakatapui ʻe Sihova, ke mafao atu hoku nima angatuʻu kiate ia, ka ko e pani ia ʻa Sihova.”
7 Da wannan magana Dawuda ya kwaɓi mutanensa, bai yarda su fāɗa wa Shawulu ba. Shawulu kuwa ya bar kogon ya yi tafiyarsa.
Ko ia naʻe taʻofi ʻe Tevita ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni, pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻakinautolu kenau tuʻu hake kia Saula. Ka naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Saula mei he ʻana, pea ʻalu ʻi hono hala.
8 Daga baya Dawuda ya fita daga kogon sai ya kira Shawulu ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, sarki!” Da Shawulu ya waiwaya, sai Dawuda ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.
Pea naʻe tuʻu foki ʻa Tevita ʻo ʻalu kituʻa mei he ʻana, pea kalanga ia kia Saula ʻo pehē, “ʻA hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi.” Pea naʻe tafoki ʻo vakai ki mui ʻa Saula, ʻoku tulolo ʻa Tevita hono mata ki he kelekele, pea punou ia.
9 Ya ce wa Shawulu, “Me ya sa kake saurari mutanen da suke cewa, ‘Dawuda ya dāge yă cuce ka’?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia Saula, “Ko e hā ʻoku ke tokanga ai ki he ngaahi lea ʻae kau tangata, ʻoku pehē, ‘Vakai, ʻoku kumi ʻe Tevita ke ke lavea?’
10 Yau ka ga da idonka yadda Ubangiji ya bashe ka a hannuna a cikin kogon nan. Waɗansu sun ce mini in kashe ka, amma na bar ka, na ce, ‘Ba zan sa hannuna a kan shugabana ba, gama shi shafaffe ne na Ubangiji.’
Vakai, kuo ke mamata ʻaki ho mata he ʻaho ni ki heʻene tuku mai koe ʻe Sihova he ʻaho ni ki hoku nima ʻi he ʻana pea naʻe tala ʻe he niʻihi ke u taaʻi koe ka naʻe fakamoʻui koe ʻe hoku mata; pea ne u pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai te u mafao atu hoku nima ʻo angatuʻu ki hoku ʻeiki he ko e fakatapui ia ʻa Sihova.’
11 Babana, duba, ga shafin rigarka a hannuna, na yanke shafin rigarka amma ban kashe ka ba. Yanzu ka gane ka kuma sani cewa ba ni da laifin aikata kome ko tayarwa, ban yi maka laifi ba, amma kana farautar raina.
Pea ko eni foki, ʻa ʻeku tamai, vakai, ʻio, vakai ki he potu ʻo ho kofu ʻi hoku nima: ʻi heʻeku heleʻi ke motu ʻae kapa ʻo ho kofu, ʻo ʻikai te u taaʻi koe, ke ke ʻilo ai mo vakai ʻoku ʻikai ha kovi pe ha angahala ʻi hoku nima, pea kuo ʻikai te u fai angahala kiate koe; ka ʻoku ke tuli ʻa ʻeku moʻui ke taaʻi ia.
12 Ubangiji zai shari’anta tsakanina da kai. Ubangiji zai sāka mini laifin da ka yi mini, amma ni kam ba zan taɓa ka ba.
Ke fakamaauʻi ʻe Sihova kiate au mo koe, pea totongi kiate koe ʻe Sihova koeʻuhi ko au: ka ʻe ʻikai ʻiate koe ʻa hoku nima ʻoʻoku.
13 Kamar yadda karin maganan nan na dā ya ce, ‘Daga cikin masu mugunta, mugunta ke fitowa,’ hannuna dai ba zai taɓa ka ba.
Kae hangē: ko e lea ʻae mātuʻa ʻi muʻa, ‘ʻOku tupu ʻae fai kovi mei he angakovi’ ka ʻe ʻikai ʻiate koe ʻa hoku nima.
14 “Wane ne sarkin Isra’ila, ka fito kake bi? Wa kake kora? Kana bin mataccen kare ko kuɗin cizo?
Kuo haʻu ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo tuli kia hai? ʻOku ke tulia ʻa hai? Ko e kulī mate, ko e kutufisi.
15 Ubangiji yă zama alƙali, yă yi shari’a tsakanina da kai, bari Ubangiji yă duba, yă tsaya mini, yă nuna ba ni da laifi.”
Ko ia ke fakamaau ʻe Sihova, pea fakamaau kiate au mo koe, pea vakai, ʻo langomakiʻi au, pea fakamoʻui au mei ho nima.”
16 Da Dawuda ya gama wannan magana, sai Shawulu ya ce, “Muryarka ke nan ɗana Dawuda?” Sai ya fasa da kuka.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fakaʻosi ʻe Tevita ʻae ngaahi lea ni kia Saula, naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “He ko ho leʻo eni, ʻE Tevita ko hoku foha?” Pea naʻe hiki hono leʻo ʻe Saula ʻo ne tangi.
17 Ya ce, “Ka fi ni gaskiya, ka yi mini alheri, ni kuwa na yi maka mugunta.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kia Tevita, “ʻOku ke angatonu lahi koe ʻiate au: he kuo ke totongi lelei kiate au, ka kuo u totongi kovi kiate koe.
18 Ga shi yanzu ka faɗa mini alherin da ka yi mini. Ubangiji ya bashe ni a hannunka amma ba ka kashe ni ba.
Pea kuo ke fakahā he ʻaho ni ʻa hoʻo fai lelei kiate au: koeʻuhi ʻi he tukuange au ʻe Sihova ki ho nima, naʻe ʻikai te ke tāmateʻi au.
19 In mutum ya sami maƙiyinsa, zai bar shi yă tafi lafiya ba tare da yin masa rauni ba? Ubangiji yă sāka maka, gama ka nuna mini alheri a yau.
He kapau ʻoku ʻilo ʻe ha tangata hono fili, te ne tuku ke toe ʻalu moʻui? Ko ia ke totongi lelei ʻe Sihova kiate koe, ʻi he meʻa kuo ke fai kiate au he ʻaho ni.
20 Na sani tabbatacce za ka zama sarki. Masarautar Isra’ila za tă kahu a hannunka.
Pea ko eni, vakai, ʻOku ou ʻilo pau ko e moʻoni te ke hoko ke tuʻi, pea ʻe fakatuʻumaʻu ʻae puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻiate koe.
21 Yanzu ka rantse mini da Ubangiji cewa ba za ka hallaka zuriyarta ko ka share sunana daga iyalin mahaifina ba.”
Ko ia ke ke fuakava ni kiate au ʻia Sihova, ke ʻoua naʻa ke motuhi hoku hako kimui ʻiate au, pea ʻoua naʻa ke fakaʻauha hoku hingoa mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai.”
22 Sai Dawuda ya rantse wa Shawulu. Sa’an nan Shawulu ya koma gida, amma Dawuda da mutanensa suka haura zuwa wurin ɓuya.
Pea naʻe fuakava ʻe Tevita kia Saula, pea ʻalu ʻa Saula ki hono ʻapi, ka naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Tevita mo hono kau tangata ki he toitoiʻanga.
