1 Zifawa suka je wurin Shawulu a Gibeya suka ce, “Ashe, ba Dawuda ne ya ɓuya a tudun Hakila da yake fuskantar Yeshimon ba?”
AbeZifi basebesiza kuSawuli eGibeya besithi: UDavida kacatshi yini oqaqeni lweHakila phambi kweJeshimoni?
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.
USawuli wasesukuma wehlela enkangala yeZifi elabantu abakhethiweyo bakoIsrayeli abayizinkulungwane ezintathu, ukuze adinge uDavida enkangala yeZifi.
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,
USawuli wasemisa inkamba oqaqeni lweHakila oluphambi kweJeshimoni endleleni, kodwa uDavida wahlala enkangala. Kwathi esebonile ukuthi uSawuli uyamlandela enkangala,
4 sai ya aiki’yan leƙen asiri su tabbata lalle Shawulu ya iso can.
uDavida wasethuma izinhloli ukuze azi ukuthi uSawuli ufikile isibili.
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.
UDavida wasesukuma wayafika endaweni lapho uSawuli amise khona inkamba; uDavida wayibona indawo lapho uSawuli alala khona, loAbhineri indodana kaNeri, induna yebutho lakhe. Njalo uSawuli wayelele enqabeni yezinqola, lesizwe sasimise amathente simhanqile.
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.”
UDavida wasephendula wakhuluma kuAhimeleki umHethi, lakuAbishayi indodana kaZeruya, umfowabo kaJowabi, esithi: Ngubani ozakwehlela lami kuSawuli enkambeni? UAbishayi wasesithi: Mina ngizakwehla lawe.
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.
Ngakho uDavida loAbishayi bafika ebantwini ebusuku; khangela-ke, uSawuli wayelele ubuthongo enqabeni yezinqola, lomkhonto wakhe wawugxunyekiwe emhlabathini ngasekhanda lakhe, loAbhineri labantu babelele bemhanqile.
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.”
UAbishayi wasesithi kuDavida: UNkulunkulu uvalele isitha sakho esandleni sakho lamuhla; ngakho-ke ake ngimtshayele ngitsho emhlabathini kanye ngomkhonto, ngingakuphindi kuye.
9 Amma Dawuda ya ce wa Abishai, “Kada ka hallaka shi. Wa zai sa hannu a kan shafaffe na Ubangiji, har yă tsira?
Kodwa uDavida wathi kuAbishayi: Ungamchithi; ngoba ngubani ongelulela isandla sakhe kogcotshiweyo weNkosi angabi lacala?
10 Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, Ubangiji da kansa zai buge shi, ko yă mutu a lokacinsa, ko kuma yă mutu a wurin yaƙi.
UDavida wathi futhi: Kuphila kukaJehova, kodwa iNkosi izamtshaya, loba kufike usuku lwakhe ukuthi afe, kumbe ehlele empini abhujiswe.
11 Amma Allah yă sawwaƙa in sa hannu a shafaffen Ubangiji, ka ɗauki māshin da butar ruwan da take kusa da kansa mu tafi.”
Kakube khatshana lami ngeNkosi ukwelulela isandla sami kogcotshiweyo weNkosi; kodwa khathesi ake uthathe umkhonto osemqamelweni wakhe, lesigxingi samanzi, sihambe.
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.
UDavida wasethatha umkhonto lesigxingi samanzi ekususa emqamelweni kaSawuli, bahamba. Njalo kakho owakubonayo, kakho owakwaziyo, kakho owavukayo, ngoba bonke babelele, ngoba ubuthongo obunzima beNkosi babubehlele.
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.
Lapho uDavida esechaphele ngaphetsheya, wema engqongeni yentaba khatshana; kwakukhona ummango omkhulu phakathi kwabo.
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?”
UDavida wasememeza ebantwini lakuAbhineri indodana kaNeri, esithi: Kawuphenduli yini, Abhineri? UAbhineri wasephendula esithi: Ungubani okhala enkosini?
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.
UDavida wasesithi kuAbhineri: Kawusindoda yini? Njalo ngubani onjengawe koIsrayeli? Kungani-ke ungayilindanga inkosi yakho inkosi? Ngoba kufike omunye wabantu ukuchitha inkosi, inkosi yakho.
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?”
Kayinhle into oyenzileyo. Kuphila kukaJehova, lingabantwana bokufa, ngoba kaliyilindanga inkosi yenu, ogcotshiweyo weNkosi. Khathesi-ke bona ukuthi ungaphi umkhonto wenkosi lesigxingi samanzi ebesingasemqamelweni wayo.
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.”
USawuli waselinanzelela ilizwi likaDavida wathi: Yilizwi lakho lelo yini, ndodana yami, Davida? UDavida wasesithi: Yilizwi lami, nkosi yami, nkosi.
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?
Wathi njalo: Inkosi yami ixotshanelani lenceku yayo? Ngoba ngenzeni? Kulobubi bani esandleni sami?
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.’
Ngakho-ke, ake izwe inkosi yami, inkosi, amazwi enceku yayo. Uba iNkosi ikuqubula ukumelana lami, kayemukele umnikelo; kodwa uba kungabantwana babantu, kabaqalekiswe phambi kweNkosi; ngoba bangixotshile lamuhla ukuthi ngingazihlanganisi lelifa leNkosi, besithi: Hamba, ukhonze abanye onkulunkulu.
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.”
Ngakho-ke igazi lami kalingaweli emhlabathini lisuke phambi kobuso beNkosi; ngoba inkosi yakoIsrayeli iphumele ukudinga indwebundwebu eyodwa, njengozingela ithendele ezintabeni.
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.”
USawuli wasesithi: Ngonile; buya, ndodana yami Davida, ngoba kangisayikwenza ububi kuwe, ngenxa yokuthi umphefumulo wami ubuligugu emehlweni akho lamuhla. Khangela, ngenze ngobuphukuphuku, ngaduha kakhulu sibili.
22 Dawuda ya ce, “Ga māshin sarki, ka aiko wani saurayi yă zo yă karɓa.
UDavida wasephendula wathi: Khangela, umkhonto wenkosi! Kalichaphe elinye lamajaha, liwuthathe.
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.
INkosi kayibuyisele kulowo lalowo ukulunga kwakhe lokuthembeka kwakhe; ngoba iNkosi ibikunikele esandleni sami lamuhla, kodwa kangithandanga ukwelulela isandla sami kogcotshiweyo weNkosi.
24 Kamar yadda na ga darajar ranka yau. Haka ma bari Ubangiji yă ga darajar raina, yă cece ni daga dukan wahala.”
Khangela-ke, njengoba impilo yakho ibinkulu emehlweni ami lamuhla, ngokunjalo impilo yami ayibe nkulu emehlweni eNkosi, kayingophule ekuhluphekeni konke.
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.
USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Kawubusiswe wena, ndodana yami Davida. Lawe uzakwenza isibili, lawe uzanqoba lokunqoba. UDavida wasehamba ngendlela yakhe, loSawuli wabuyela endaweni yakhe.
