1 Sama’ila 26
1 Zifawa suka je wurin Shawulu a Gibeya suka ce, “Ashe, ba Dawuda ne ya ɓuya a tudun Hakila da yake fuskantar Yeshimon ba?”
And the Ziphites come out of the dry country to Saul to the hill, saying, Behold, David hides himself with us in the hill Echela, opposite Jessemon.
2 Sai Shawulu ya tashi ya gangara zuwa Jejin Zif, tare da zaɓaɓɓun mutane dubu uku na Isra’ila. Suka fita neman Dawuda a can.
And Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, and with him [went] three thousand men chosen out of Israel, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
3 Shawulu ya yi sansani a bakin hanyar zuwa tudun Hakila mai fuskantar Yeshimon. Amma Dawuda yana zaune a jeji. Sa’ad da ya ga Shawulu ya biyo shi har zuwa can,
And Saul encamped in the hill of Echela in front of Jessemon, by the way, and David lived in the wilderness: and David saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
4 sai ya aiki’yan leƙen asiri su tabbata lalle Shawulu ya iso can.
And David sent spies, and ascertained that Saul was come prepared out of Keila.
5 Sai Dawuda ya kintsa ya tafi inda Shawulu ya yi sansani. Ya ga inda Shawulu da Abner ɗan Ner shugaban ƙungiyar soja suka kwanta. Shawulu yana kwance a cikin sansani tare da sojoji kewaye da shi.
And David arose secretly, and goes into the place where Saul was sleeping, and there [was] Abenner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul was sleeping in a chariot, and the people had encamped along round about him.
6 Sai Dawuda ya ce wa Ahimelek mutumin Hitti da Abishai ɗan Zeruhiya ɗan’uwan Yowab, “Wa zai gangara tare da ni zuwa sansanin Shawulu?” Sai Abishai ya ce, “Zan tafi tare da kai.”
And David answered and spoke to Abimelech the Chettite, and to Abessa the son Saruia the brother of Joab, saying, Who will go in with me to Saul into the camp? And Abessa said, I will go in with you.
7 Saboda haka Dawuda da Abishai suka gangara zuwa wurin rundunar da dare, sai ga Shawulu kwance yana barci a cikin sansani da māshinsa a kafe a ƙasa kusa da kansa. Abner kuwa tare da sojoji suna kwance kewaye da shi.
So David and Abessa go in among the people by night: and behold, Saul was fast asleep in the chariot, and his spear was stuck in the ground near his head, and Abenner and his people slept round about him.
8 Abishai ya ce wa Dawuda, “Yau Allah ya ba da maƙiyinka a hannunka. Bari in kafe shi da ƙasa da māshina, zan soke shi da māshi sau ɗaya tak, ba na bukata in soke shi sau biyu.”
And Abessa said to David, The Lord has this day shut up your enemy into your hands, and now I will strike him to the earth with the spear to the ground once [for all], and I will not strike him again.
9 Amma Dawuda ya ce wa Abishai, “Kada ka hallaka shi. Wa zai sa hannu a kan shafaffe na Ubangiji, har yă tsira?
And David said to Abessa, Do not lay him low, for who shall lift up his hand against the anointed of the Lord, and be guiltless?
10 Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, Ubangiji da kansa zai buge shi, ko yă mutu a lokacinsa, ko kuma yă mutu a wurin yaƙi.
And David said, [As] the Lord lives, if the Lord strike him not, or his day come and he die, or he go down to battle and be added [to his fathers, do not so].
11 Amma Allah yă sawwaƙa in sa hannu a shafaffen Ubangiji, ka ɗauki māshin da butar ruwan da take kusa da kansa mu tafi.”
The Lord forbid it me that I should lift up my hand against the anointed of the Lord: and now take, I pray you, the spear from his bolster, and the pitcher of water, and let us return home.
12 Saboda haka Dawuda ya ɗauki māshin da butar ruwan da take kusa da Shawulu suka tafi. Ba wanda ya gan su, ba wanda ya san abin da ya faru, ba kuwa wanda ya farka, dukansu suna barci gama Ubangiji ya sa barci mai nauyi ya ɗauke su.
So David took the spear, and the pitcher of water from his bolster, and they went home: and there was no one that saw, and no one that knew, and there was no one that awoke, all being asleep, for a stupor from the Lord had fallen upon them.
13 Sa’an nan Dawuda ya haye zuwa wancan gefen kwarin, ya hau kan wani tudu mai ɗan nisa inda Shawulu tare da mutanensa suke. Akwai babban fili tsakaninsu.
So David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off, and [there was] a good distance between them.
14 Sai Dawuda ya kira sojojin Shawulu da kuma Abner ɗan Ner ya ce, “Abner ba za ka amsa mini ba?” Abner ya ce, “Wane ne yake kira yana damun sarki haka?”
And David called to the people, and spoke to Abenner, saying, Will you not answer, Abenner? and Abenner answered and said, Who are you that call?
15 Dawuda ya ce wa Abner, “Wane irin mutum ne kai? Ba kai ne soja mafi iya yaƙi a Isra’ila ba? Don me ba ka yi gadin ranka yă daɗe, sarki da kyau ba? Ɗazu wani ya shiga tsakiyarku don yă kashe ranka yă daɗe, sarki.
And David said to Abenner, [Are] not you a man? and who [is] like you in Israel? Why then do you not guard your lord the king? for one out of the people went in to destroy your lord the king.
16 Abin da ka yi bai yi kyau ba. Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye kai da mutanenka kun cancanci mutuwa, domin ba ku lura da maigidanku shafaffe na Ubangiji ba. Ka duba kewaye da kai, ina māshi da kuma butar ruwan da suke kusa da kansa?”
And this thing [is] not good which you have done. [As] the Lord lives, you are worthy of death, you who guard your lord the king, the anointed of the Lord: and now behold, I pray you, the spear of the king, and the cruse of water: where are the articles that should be at his head?
17 Shawulu ya gane muryar Dawuda, sai ya ce, “Muryarka ke nan ɗana Dawuda?” Dawuda ya ce, “I, muryata ce ya ranka yă daɗe, sarki.”
And Saul recognized the voice of David, and said, [Is] this your voice, son David? and David said, I [am] your servant, [my] lord, O king.
18 Ya ƙara da cewa, “Don me ranka yă daɗe, yake fafarata? Mene ne na yi? Wane abu ne aka same ni da laifi a kai?
And he said, Why does my lord thus pursue after his servant? for in what have I sinned? and what unrighteousness has been found in me?
19 To, bari ranka yă daɗe, sarkina yă kasa kunne yă ji abin da zan faɗa. Idan Ubangiji ne ya sa ka yi fushi da ni, bari yă karɓi hadaya ta hatsi. Amma idan mutane ne suka sa ka, bari a la’anta su, Ubangiji ne shaidata. Gama sun kore ni don kada in sami rabo cikin gādon Ubangiji, suna cewa, ‘Ka je ka bauta wa waɗansu alloli.’
And now let my lord the king hear the word of his servant. If God stirs you up against me, let your offering be acceptable: but if the sons of men, they [are] cursed before the Lord, for they have cast me out this day so that I should not be established in the inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve other Gods.
20 Kada ka yarda jinina yă zuba a ƙasa nesa da gaban Ubangiji. Sarkin Isra’ila ya fito yă nemi kuɗin cizo kamar mai farautar kazan duwatsu.”
And now let not my blood fall to the ground before the Lord, for the king of Israel has come forth to seek your life, as the night hawk pursues [its prey] in the mountains.
21 Sai Shawulu ya ce, “Na yi zunubi ka dawo Dawuda ɗana. Ba zan yi maka kome ba, domin ka darajarta raina yau. Lalle na yi wawanci! Na yi babban kuskure.”
And Saul said, I have sinned: turn, son David, for I will not hurt you, because my life was precious in your eyes; and today I have been foolish and have erred exceedingly.
22 Dawuda ya ce, “Ga māshin sarki, ka aiko wani saurayi yă zo yă karɓa.
And David answered and said, Behold, the spear of the king: let one of the servants come over and take it.
23 Ubangiji yakan sāka wa kowa bisa ga adalcinsa da amincinsa. Ubangiji ya bashe ka a hannuna yau, amma ba zan sa hannuna a kan shafaffe na Ubangiji ba.
And the Lord shall recompense each according to his righteousness and his truth, since the Lord delivered you this day into my hands, and I would not lift my hand against the Lord's anointed.
24 Kamar yadda na ga darajar ranka yau. Haka ma bari Ubangiji yă ga darajar raina, yă cece ni daga dukan wahala.”
And, behold, as your life has been precious this very day in my eyes, so let my life be precious before the Lord, and may he protect me, and deliver me out of all affliction.
25 Sai Shawulu ya ce wa Dawuda, “Allah yă albarkace ka ɗana, Dawuda, za ka yi manyan abubuwa, tabbatacce kuma ka yi nasara.” Sai Dawuda ya yi tafiyarsa, Shawulu kuwa ya koma gida.
And Saul said to David, Blessed [be] you, [my] son; and you shall surely do valiantly, and surely prevail. And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
