1 A rana ta uku, Dawuda da mutanensa suka isa Ziklag, sai suka tarar Amalekawa sun riga sun kawo wa Negeb da Ziklag hari. Suka cinye Ziklag, suka ƙone ta,
And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
2 suka kwashe mata, yara da tsofaffi da dukan abubuwan da suke cikin garin. Ba su kashe kowa ba, amma suka kwashe su, suka tafi.
And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
3 Da Dawuda da mutanensa suka isa Ziklag suka tarar an ƙone garin, an kuma kwashe matansu, da’ya’yansu mata, da kuma’ya’yansu maza ganima,
So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
4 sai Dawuda da mutanensa suka yi kuka, suka yi ta kuka har sai da ƙarfinsu ya ƙare.
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 An kama matan Dawuda, wato, Ahinowam daga Yezireyel da Abigiyel matar Nabal mutumin Karmel wanda ya rasu.
And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 Dawuda kuwa ya damu ƙwarai domin mutanensa suna niyyar su jajjefe shi da duwatsu, kowannensu ransa ya ɓace saboda’ya’yansa maza da mata, amma Dawuda ya sami ƙarfafawa a cikin Ubangiji Allahnsa.
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
7 Sai Dawuda ya ce wa Abiyatar firist, ɗan Ahimelek, “Kawo mini efod.” Sai Abiyatar ya kawo masa.
And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray you, bring me here the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
8 Dawuda kuwa ya nemi nufin Ubangiji ya ce, “In bi bayan’yan harin nan? Zan ci musu?” Ubangiji ya ce, “Bi su, gama za ka ci musu, ka ƙwato abin da suka kwashe.”
And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for you shall surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
9 Dawuda da mutanensa ɗari shida suka kama hanya, da suka kai Kwarin Besor, waɗansunsu suka tsaya a can.
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
10 Dawuda ya ci gaba da mutane ɗari huɗu, don mutane ɗari biyu sun gaji sosai har sun kāsa ƙetare rafin Besor.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11 Suka sami wani mutumin Masar a fili suka kawo shi wurin Dawuda. Suka ba shi abinci ya ci, suka kuma ba shi ruwa ya sha.
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
12 Suka ba shi saura wainan’ya’yan ɓaure da kuma wainan’ya’yan inabi, ya ci ya sami ƙarfi. Gama bai ci ba, bai sha ba, har yini uku da dare uku.
And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 Dawuda ya tambaye shi ya ce, “Wane ne ubangidanka, kuma daga ina ka fito?” Ya ce, “Ni mutumin Masar ne, bawan wani mutumin Amalek. Maigidana ya ƙyale ni sa’ad da na yi rashin lafiya kwanaki ukun da suka wuce.
And David said unto him, To whom belong you? and whence are you? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Mun kai hari a Negeb ta Keretawa ta Yahuda, da Negeb ta Kaleb, muka kuma ƙone Ziklag.”
We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongs to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
15 Dawuda ya ce masa, “Za ka iya kai ni wurin maharan nan?” Ya ce, “Idan ka rantse mini da Allah, ba za ka kashe ni ba, ba kuwa za ka mai da ni wurin ubangidana ba, sai in kai ka inda maharan suke.”
And David said to him, Can you bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this company.
16 Ya bi da Dawuda har zuwa can, sai ga su a baje ko’ina a ƙasa, suna ci, suna sha, suna annashuwa saboda yawan ganimar da suka kwashe daga ƙasar Filistiyawa da ƙasar Yahuda.
And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 Dawuda ya yaƙe su tun daga fāɗuwar rana har yammar kashegari. Ba ko ɗaya da ya tsira sai samari ɗari huɗu waɗanda suka tsere a kan raƙuma.
And David stroke them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
18 Dawuda ya ƙwato kome da Amalekawa suka kwashe tare da matarsa biyu.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
19 Babu abin da ya ɓace, Dawuda ya dawo da kowa, manya da ƙanana,’yan maza da’yan mata duka, da dukan abubuwan da Amalekawa suka kwashe.
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
20 Ya kuma ƙwato garkunan tumaki, da na awaki, da na shanu. Mutanensa suka koro shanun, suka yi gaba, suka ce, “Wannan shi ne ganimar Dawuda.”
And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
21 Da Dawuda ya zo wurin mutum ɗari biyu ɗin nan waɗanda suka tafke, suka kāsa binsa, waɗanda aka bari a bakin Kwarin Besor, sai suka taryi Dawuda da mutanensa da suka tafi tare da shi. Sa’ad da Dawuda ya zo kusa da su, sai ya gaishe su.
And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
22 Sai dukan mugaye da marasa kirki daga cikin mutanen da suka tafi tare da Dawuda suka ce, “Tun da yake ba su tafi tare da mu ba, ba za mu ba su kome daga cikin ganimar da muka ƙwato ba, sai dai kowane mutum yă ɗauki matarsa da’ya’yansa yă tafi.”
Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
23 Dawuda ya ce, “A’a,’yan’uwana ba za ku yi haka da abin da Ubangiji ya ba mu ba. Ya tsare mu, ya kuma bashe sojojin da suka yi gāba da mu a hannuwanmu.
Then said David, All of you shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD has given us, who has preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
24 Wa zai goyi bayanku a kan wannan al’amari? Wanda ya tafi wurin yaƙi da wanda ya zauna wurin kaya, rabonsu zai zama daidai.”
For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goes down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarries by the stuff: they shall part alike.
25 Dawuda ya sa wannan tă zama dawwammamiyar farilla ga Isra’ila tun daga wannan rana har yă zuwa yau.
And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
26 Da Dawuda ya iso Ziklag, sai ya aika wa abokansa, dattawan Yahuda da rabo daga cikin ganimar ya ce, “Ga kyauta dominku, daga cikin ganimar maƙiyan Ubangiji.”
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
27 Kyautar domin waɗanda suke a Betel, da Ramot ta Negeb, da Yattir,
To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
28 da Arower, da Sifmot, da Eshtemowa,
And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,
29 da Rakal, da garuruwan Yerameyelawa, da garuruwan Keniyawa,
And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 da Horma, da Bor-Ashan, da Atak,
And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,
31 da Hebron, da dukan wuraren da Dawuda da mutanensa suka taɓa zagawa.
And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were known to haunt.
