< 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.
And Samuel dieth, and all Israel are gathered, and mourn for him, and bury him in his house, in Ramah; and David riseth and goeth down unto the wilderness 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.
And [there is] a man in Maon, and his work [is] in Carmel; and the man [is] very great, and he hath three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats; and he is shearing his flock in Carmel.
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.
And the name of the man [is] Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail, and the woman [is] of good understanding, and of fair form, and the man [is] hard and evil [in] doings; and he [is] a Calebite.
4 Lokacin da Dawuda yake a jeji, ya ji labari cewa Nabal yana askin tumaki.
And David heareth in the wilderness that Nabal is shearing his flock,
5 Sai ya zaɓi samari goma ya aike su wurin Nabal a Karmel su gaishe shi a madadinsa,
and David sendeth ten young men, and David saith to the young men, 'Go ye up to Carmel, and ye have come in unto Nabal, and asked of him in my name of welfare,
6 su ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, ina maka fatan alheri, kai da gidanka da dukan abin da kake da shi!
and said thus: To life! and thou, peace; and thy house, peace; and all that thou hast — peace!
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.
and, now, I have heard that thou hast shearers; now, the shepherds whom thou hast have been with us, we have not put them to shame, nor hath anything been looked after by them, all the days of their being 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.”
'Ask thy young men, and they declare to thee, and the young men find grace in thine eyes, for on a good day we have come; give, I pray thee, that which thy hand findeth, to thy servants, and to thy son, to David.'
9 Da mutanen Dawuda suka isa wurin Nabal, suka ba wa Nabal wannan saƙo a sunan Dawuda, sai suka jira.
And the young men of David come in, and speak unto Nabal according to all these words, in the name of David — and rest.
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.
And Nabal answereth the servants of David and saith, 'Who [is] David, and who the son of Jesse? to-day have servants been multiplied who are breaking away each from his master;
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?”
and I have taken my bread, and my water, and my flesh, which I slaughtered for my shearers, and have given [it] to men whom I have not known whence they [are]!'
12 Mutanen Dawuda suka juya suka koma. Da suka iso sai suka faɗa wa Dawuda abin da Nabal ya ce.
And the young men of David turn on their way, and turn back, and come in, and declare to him according to all these words.
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.
And David saith to his men, 'Gird ye on each his sword;' and they gird on each his sword, and David also girdeth on his sword, and there go up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred have remained by the vessels.
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.
And to Abigail wife of Nabal hath one young man of the youths declared, saying, 'Lo, David hath sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he flieth upon 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.
and the men [are] very good to us, and have not put us to shame, and we have not looked after anything all the days we have gone up and down with them, in our being in the field;
16 Dare da rana sun zama mana katanga kewaya da mu, a duk tsawon lokacin da muke kiwon tumakinmu kusa da su.
a wall they have been unto us both by night and by day, all the days of our being with them, feeding the flock.
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.”
'And, now, know and consider what thou dost; for evil hath been determined against our lord, and against all his house, and he [is] too much a son of worthlessness to be spoken to.'
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.
And Abigail hasteth, and taketh two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep, prepared, and five measures of roasted corn, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and two hundred bunches of figs, and setteth [them] on the asses.
19 Sai ta ce wa bawanta, “Yi gaba, zan bi ka”. Amma ba tă gaya wa Nabal, mijinta ba.
And she saith to her young men, 'Pass over before me; lo, after you I am coming;' and to her husband Nabal she hath not declared [it];
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.
and it hath come to pass, she is riding on the ass and is coming down in the secret part of the hill-country, and lo, David and his men are coming down to meet her, and she meeteth 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.
And David said, 'Only, in vain I have kept all that this [one] hath in the wilderness, and nothing hath been looked after of all that he hath, and he turneth back to me 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.”
thus doth God do to the enemies of David, and thus He doth add, if I leave of all that he hath till the light of the morning — of those sitting on the wall.'
23 Da Abigiyel ta ga Dawuda, sai ta gaggauta ta sauka daga kan jaki, ta rusuna a gaban Dawuda da fuskarta har ƙasa.
And Abigail seeth David, and hasteth and cometh down from off the ass, and falleth before David on her face, and boweth herself to the earth,
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.
and falleth at his feet and saith, 'On me, my lord, the iniquity; and let, I pray thee, thy handmaid speak in thine ear, and hear the words of thy handmaid.
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.
'Let not, I pray thee, my lord set his heart to this man of worthlessness, on Nabal, for as his name [is] so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him; and I, thine handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom thou didst send;
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.
and now, my lord, Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, in that Jehovah hath withheld thee from coming in with blood, and to save thy hand to thee — now let thine enemies be as Nabal, even those seeking evil unto my lord.
27 Bari kuma ka karɓi wannan kyautar da baiwarka ta kawo don samarin da suke binka.
'And, now, this blessing which thy maid-servant hath brought to my lord — it hath been given to the young men who are going up and down at the feet of my lord.
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.
'Bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy handmaid, for Jehovah doth certainly make to my lord a stedfast house; for the battles of Jehovah hath my lord fought, and evil is not found in thee [all] thy days.
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.
And man riseth to pursue thee and to seek thy soul, and the soul of my lord hath been bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God; as to the soul of thine enemies, He doth sling them out in the midst of the hollow of the 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,
'And it hath been, when Jehovah doth to my lord according to all the good which He hath spoken concerning thee, and appointed thee for leader 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.”
that this is not to thee for a stumbling-block, and for an offence of heart to my lord — either to shed blood for nought, or my lord's restraining himself; and Jehovah hath done good to my lord, and thou hast remembered thy handmaid.'
32 Dawuda ya ce wa Abigiyel, “Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, wanda ya aiko ki don ki same ni yau.
And David saith to Abigail, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath sent thee this day to meet me,
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.
and blessed [is] thy discretion, and blessed [art] thou in that thou hast restrained me this day from coming in with blood, and to restrain my hand to myself.
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.”
And yet, Jehovah liveth, God of Israel, who hath kept me back from doing evil with thee, for unless thou hadst hasted, and dost come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal till the light of the morning, of those sitting on the wall.'
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.”
And David receiveth from her hand that which she hath brought to him, and to her he hath said, 'Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and accept thy face.'
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.
And Abigail cometh in unto Nabal, and lo, he hath a banquet in his house, like a banquet of the king, and the heart of Nabal [is] glad within him, and he [is] drunk unto excess, and she hath not declared to him anything, less or more, till the light of 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.
And it cometh to pass in the morning, when the wine is gone out from Nabal, that his wife declareth to him these things, and his heart dieth within him, and he hath been as a stone.
38 Bayan kusan kwana goma, Ubangiji ya bugi Nabal, sai ya mutu.
And it cometh to pass, [in] about ten days, that Jehovah smiteth Nabal, and he dieth,
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.
and David heareth that Nabal [is] dead, and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and His servant hath kept back from evil, and the wickedness of Nabal hath Jehovah turned back on his own head;' and David sendeth and speaketh with Abigail, to take her to him for a wife.
40 Bayin Dawuda suka tafi Karmel suka ce wa Abigiyel, “Dawuda ya aike mu gare ki, mu zo mu ɗauke ki ki zama matarsa.”
And the servants of David come in unto Abigail at Carmel, and speak unto her, saying, 'David hath sent us unto thee to take thee to him for a 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.”
And she riseth and boweth herself — face to the earth — and saith, 'Lo, thy handmaid [is] for a maid-servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.'
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.
And Abigail hasteth and riseth, and rideth on the ass; and five of her young women who are going at her feet; and she goeth after the messengers of David, and is to him for a wife.
43 Dawuda a lokacin ya riga ya auri Ahinowam daga Yezireyel, dukansu suka zama matansa.
And Ahinoam hath David taken from Jezreel, and they are — even both of them — to him for wives;
44 Amma Shawulu ya aurar da Mikal,’yarsa, matar Dawuda, ga Falti ɗan Layish wanda yake daga Gallim.
and Saul gave Michal his daughter, wife to David, to Phalti son of Laish, who [is] of Gallim.
