1 Sama’ila 25
1 Sama’ila ya rasu, sai dukan Isra’ila suka taru suka yi makoki saboda shi. Suka binne shi a gidansa a Rama. Sai Dawuda ya gangara zuwa cikin Jejin Faran.
Samuel died. Everyone in Israel gathered to mourn for him, and they buried him at his home in Ramah. David left and went to the Desert of Paran.
2 A Mawon, akwai wani mutum wanda yake da dukiya a Karmel, mutumin mai arziki ne ƙwarai. Yana da awaki dubu ɗaya, da tumaki dubu uku waɗanda yake wa aski a Karmel.
A man from Maon was very wealthy. He had property in Carmel and owned one thousand goats and three thousand sheep. He was in Carmel shearing them.
3 Ana ce da shi Nabal, sunan matarsa kuwa Abigiyel. Tana da hikima ga ta kuma kyakkyawa, amma mijinta mai rowa ne marar mutunci. Shi daga kabilar Kaleb ne.
The man's name was Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail. She was a wise and beautiful woman, but her husband was cruel and treated people badly. He was a descendant of Caleb.
4 Lokacin da Dawuda yake a jeji, ya ji labari cewa Nabal yana askin tumaki.
David was in the wilderness, and he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep.
5 Sai ya zaɓi samari goma ya aike su wurin Nabal a Karmel su gaishe shi a madadinsa,
So David sent ten of his young men and told them, “Go and see Nabal at Carmel. Greet him in my name, and say hello from me.
6 su ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, ina maka fatan alheri, kai da gidanka da dukan abin da kake da shi!
Tell him, ‘I wish you a long life! Peace to you and your family, and may everything you do prosper.
7 “Na ji cewa, yanzu lokacin askin tumaki ne. Sa’ad da makiyayanka suke tare da mu, ba mu cuce su ba, kuma duk zamansu a Karmel ba abin da yake nasu da ya ɓata.
Now I've heard that you are busy shearing. When your shepherds were with us, we didn't mistreat them, and nothing belonging to them was stolen all the time they were in Carmel.
8 Ka tambayi bayinka za su kuwa gaya maka. Saboda haka ka yi wa mutanena kirki, gama yau ranar biki ce. Ina roƙonka ka ba wa samarina, wato, bayinka, da ni ɗanka Dawuda, duk abin da kake iya ba su.”
Check with your men and they'll confirm it. Please be kind to my men, especially since we've come on this day of celebration. Please give whatever food you can to us and to your good friend David.’”
9 Da mutanen Dawuda suka isa wurin Nabal, suka ba wa Nabal wannan saƙo a sunan Dawuda, sai suka jira.
David's young men arrived, gave Nabal this message from David, and waited for his reply.
10 Nabal ya ce wa mutanen Dawuda, “Wane ne wannan Dawuda? Wane ne wannan ɗan Yesse? Yawancin bayi suna tayar wa iyayengijinsu a kwanakin nan.
“Who does this ‘David, son of Jesse’ think he is?” Nabal replied. “Nowadays there are many servants on the run from their masters!
11 Don me zan ɗauki burodina da ruwana, da kuma naman da na yanka saboda masu yin wa tumakina aski in ba mutanen da ban ma san inda suka fito ba?”
Why should I take the bread and water I've supplied, and the meat I've slaughtered for my shearers, and hand it over to these strangers? I don't even know where they're from!”
12 Mutanen Dawuda suka juya suka koma. Da suka iso sai suka faɗa wa Dawuda abin da Nabal ya ce.
So David's men turned around and went back the way they came. When they got back they told David everything Nabal had said.
13 Dawuda ya ce wa mutanensa, “Kowa yă rataya takobinsa.” Sai duk suka yi haka. Dawuda kuma ya rataya nasa. Mutum wajen ɗari huɗu suka tafi tare da Dawuda, mutum ɗari biyu kuwa suka zauna suna gadin kayansu.
“Everyone, put on your swords!” David ordered. They all put on their swords, and David did too. About four hundred followed David, while two hundred remained behind to guard their gear.
14 Ɗaya daga cikin bayin Nabal ya gaya wa Abigiyel matar Nabal cewa, “Dawuda ya aiko da bayinsa daga jeji su gai da maigida, amma maigida ya zazzage su.
In the meantime one of Nabal's men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, “David sent some messengers from the wilderness to bring greetings to our master, but he only insulted them.
15 Waɗannan mutane kuwa sun yi mana kirki ƙwarai, ba su ba mu wata wahala ba. Babu abu guda da ya ɓace mana dukan lokacin da muke tare da su.
David's men were always very good to us and they never mistreated us. All the time we were out in the fields with them nothing was stolen from us.
16 Dare da rana sun zama mana katanga kewaya da mu, a duk tsawon lokacin da muke kiwon tumakinmu kusa da su.
They were like a protective wall to us, both day and night, during the whole time we were with them looking after the sheep.
17 Ki yi nazari a kai, ki ga ko za ki iya yin wani abu, domin masifa yana nan rataye a wuyan maigidanmu da dukan iyalin gidansa. Shi mugun mutum ne wanda ba wani da zai iya yin masa magana.”
You should know what happened and consider what you should do about it. Disaster is about to strike our master and his whole family, but he's so obnoxious no one can talk sense into him!”
18 Abigiyel ba tă ɓata lokaci ba. Ta ɗauki burodi guda ɗari biyu, da salkar ruwan inabi biyu da tumaki biyar da aka gyara, da soyayyen hatsi mudu biyar, da waina guda ɗari na’ya’yan inabi, da masa ɗari biyu na kauɗar ɓaure ta labta wa jakuna.
Abigail quickly gathered together two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already slaughtered, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred raisin cakes, and two hundred fig cakes, and then loaded everything on donkeys.
19 Sai ta ce wa bawanta, “Yi gaba, zan bi ka”. Amma ba tă gaya wa Nabal, mijinta ba.
She told her men, “Go on ahead. I'll follow you.” But she didn't say anything to her husband Nabal.
20 Da tana tafiya a kan jaki, ta kai gindin wani dutse ke nan, sai ga Dawuda da mutanensa suna gangarowa zuwa wajen da take. Sai ta tafi, ta sadu da su.
As Abigail was riding her donkey through a mountain valley, she saw David and his men descending towards her, and she met them.
21 Bai daɗe ba da Dawuda ya ce a ransa, “Ashe, a banza ne na yi ta lura da dukan abin da yake na mutumin nan a jeji, har ba abinsa da ya ɓace. Ga shi, ya rama mini alheri da mugunta.
David had just been complaining, “So much for my protecting everything that belonged to this man in the wilderness! Nothing at all was stolen from him, and yet what does he do? Pay me back evil for good!
22 Bari Allah yă yi duk abin da ya ga dama da ni in na bar ko ɗaya daga mazan da suke da tare shi, gobe da safe.”
May God punish me very severely if I leave even a single one of his men alive by morning!”
23 Da Abigiyel ta ga Dawuda, sai ta gaggauta ta sauka daga kan jaki, ta rusuna a gaban Dawuda da fuskarta har ƙasa.
When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off the donkey, and bowed before him, her face to the ground.
24 Ta fāɗi a ƙafafunsa ta ce, “Bari laifin yă zama nawa, ranka yă daɗe. Ina roƙonka ka bar baiwarka ta yi magana, ka ji abin da baiwarka za tă ce.
Falling at his feet in respect, she said, “Sir, I accept full responsibility for what's happened. Please listen to what I, your servant, have to say.
25 Kada ranka yă daɗe, yă kula da Nabal, mugun mutumin nan. Shi dai kamar sunansa ne, sunansa Wawa ne, kuma wawanci yana cikinsa. Amma ni baiwarka, ban ga mutanen da ranka yă daɗe ya aika ba.
Please don't concern yourself with this worthless man Nabal. His name means ‘fool,’ and he is really foolish! As for me, your servant, I didn't even see the men you sent.
26 Da yake yanzu, ya mai girma, Ubangiji ya hana ka zubar da jini da kuma ɗaukan wa kanka fansa, muddin Ubangiji yana raye, kai kuma kana a raye, bari maƙiyinka da dukan waɗanda suke niyya su cuci shugabana su zama kamar Nabal.
Now, sir, as the Lord lives and as you live, the Lord has kept you from shedding blood and from taking your own revenge. Sir, may your enemies and those who want to do you harm be like Nabal.
27 Bari kuma ka karɓi wannan kyautar da baiwarka ta kawo don samarin da suke binka.
Please accept this present that I, your servant, have brought to you, sir, and give it to your men.
28 Ina roƙonka ka gafarta wa baiwarka laifinta gama tabbatacce Ubangiji zai ba shugabana dawwammamiyar sarauta, gama kana yin yaƙin Ubangiji ne. Kuma ba wani mugun abin da zai same ka muddin kana a raye.
Please forgive any offense that I, your servant, have committed, for the Lord is sure to set up a dynasty for you that will last for a long time, because you, sir, fight the battles of the Lord. Wickedness should not be found in you as long as you live.
29 Ko da yake wani mutum yana fafaranka domin yă kashe ka, Ubangiji Allahnka zai kiyaye ranka. Amma za a wurgar da rayukan maƙiyanka kamar yadda ake wurga dutsen majajjawa.
If anyone pursues you and tries to kill you, then your life will remain bound up with those the Lord your God looks after, safe in his care. But he will throw away the lives of your enemies like stones from a sling.
30 Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya cika kowane alherinsa da ya yi wa shugabana alkawari, ya kuma keɓe shi sarki a bisa Isra’ila,
So when the Lord has done for you, sir, everything good he promised, and has made you ruler over Israel,
31 kada yă zama cewa zuciyarka ta ba ka laifi ko ka damu cewa kana da alhakin jini, kada ka yi ramuwa da kanka. Sa’ad da Ubangiji ya nuna maka alheri, ka tuna da ni, baiwarka.”
you won't have feelings of remorse or a guilty conscience over unnecessary bloodshed or of taking your own revenge. And when the Lord has done these good things for you, sir, please remember me, your maidservant.”
32 Dawuda ya ce wa Abigiyel, “Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, wanda ya aiko ki don ki same ni yau.
Then David said to Abigail, “Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent you to meet me today!
33 Bari Allah yă albarkace ki saboda hikima yanke hukuncinki da kuma hana ni zubar da jini da ɗauka wa kaina fansa da hannuna a wannan rana.
May you be rewarded for your wise decisions, for preventing me from shedding blood today and taking my own revenge.
34 Ubangiji, ya hana ni in yi miki ɓarna. Da ba don kin zo kin sadu da ni ba, na rantse da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila Mai Rai, babu ko ɗaya daga cikin mazan gidan Nabal da zai rage gobe da safe.”
On the contrary, as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, who has kept me from harming you, if you hadn't rushed to meet me, then definitely not a single one of Nabal's men would have been left alive by dawn.”
35 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya karɓi abin da ta kawo masa daga hannunta, ya kuma ce mata, “Ki koma gida kada ki damu, na ji koke-kokenki, zan kuma biya miki bukatarki.”
David accepted from Abigail what she had brought him, and told her, “You may go home in peace, because I agree with your advice and grant your request.”
36 Da Abigiyel ta kai gida sai ta sami Nabal cikin gida yana ta fama biki iri na sarakuna. Yana ji wa ransa daɗi, ya kuma bugu tilis, saboda haka ba tă ce masa kome ba sai da gari ya waye.
When Abigail got back home to Nabal, he was in the house, partying like a king. He was feeling very merry, and he was very drunk. So she didn't tell him anything until the morning.
37 Da safe sa’ad da Nabal ya natsu, sai matarsa ta gaya masa dukan abin da ya faru. Sai zuciyarsa ta tsinke, ya zama kamar dutse.
When Nabal had sobered up the next morning, his wife told him what had happened. When he heard what she had to say he had a heart attack and was paralyzed.
38 Bayan kusan kwana goma, Ubangiji ya bugi Nabal, sai ya mutu.
About ten days later the Lord struck Nabal down and he died.
39 Da Dawuda ya sami labarin mutuwar Nabal, sai ya ce, “Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji, wanda ya sāka mini a kan irin renin da Nabal ya yi mini. Ya hana bawansa yin mugunta, ga shi ya ɗora wa Nabal muguntar da ya yi.” Sai Dawuda ya aika wa Abigiyel cewa tă zama matarsa.
When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise the Lord who has supported me against Nabal's insult and has kept me from doing evil. For the Lord made Nabal's wickedness fall back on himself.” Then David sent a message to Abigail, asking for her to marry him.
40 Bayin Dawuda suka tafi Karmel suka ce wa Abigiyel, “Dawuda ya aike mu gare ki, mu zo mu ɗauke ki ki zama matarsa.”
When David's men arrived at Carmel, they said to Abigail, “David has sent us to you to bring you back to become his wife.”
41 Sai ta rusuna da fuskarta har ƙasa ta ce, “Ni baranyarka ce, na shirya in bauta maka in kuma wanke ƙafafun bayin shugabana.”
She stood up, then bowed down low, and said, “I am David's maidservant. I am prepared to serve and to wash the feet of my master's servants.”
42 Abigiyel ta tashi da sauri ta hau jaki, ta kuma sa’yan mata biyar da suke mata hidima su bi ta, suka tafi tare da’yan saƙon Dawuda. Ta kuwa zama matarsa.
Abigail quickly got on a donkey and, with her five female servants, went back with David's men and became his wife.
43 Dawuda a lokacin ya riga ya auri Ahinowam daga Yezireyel, dukansu suka zama matansa.
David had also married Ahinoam of Jezreel. So they both were his wives.
44 Amma Shawulu ya aurar da Mikal,’yarsa, matar Dawuda, ga Falti ɗan Layish wanda yake daga Gallim.
However, Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Paltiel, son of Laish. He was from Gallim.
