1 Sama’ila 30
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 came to Ziklag on the third day, that, the Amalekites, had made a raid into the South, and into Ziklag, and had 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 captive the women and all who were therein, from small even unto great, they had not put one to death, —but had driven them forth, and gone 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, when David and his men came to the city, lo! it was burnt with fire, —and, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, had been taken captive.
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 strength to weep.
5 An kama matan Dawuda, wato, Ahinowam daga Yezireyel da Abigiyel matar Nabal mutumin Karmel wanda ya rasu.
And, the two wives of David, had been taken captive, —Ahinoam, the Jezreelitess, and Abigail, 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 in sore distress, for the people had spoken of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were embittered, every man for his own sons and for his own daughters, —but David emboldened himself in Yahweh his God.
7 Sai Dawuda ya ce wa Abiyatar firist, ɗan Ahimelek, “Kawo mini efod.” Sai Abiyatar ya kawo masa.
Then said David to Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, Do bring near me, I pray thee, the ephod. So Abiathar brought near the ephod, unto 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 of Yahweh, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake it? And he said unto him: Pursue, for thou shalt, overtake, and thou shalt, rescue.
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, who were with him, and they came in as far as the ravine of Besor, —where, they who had to be 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, —but the two hundred men stayed, because they were too wearied to cross over the ravine of 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 took him unto David, —and gave him food, and he did eat, and they gave him water to drink;
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 cakes of raisins, and, when he had eaten, his spirit came back unto him, —for he had neither eaten food, nor drunk 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.
Then David said to him—Whose art thou? and whence art thou? And he said, A young man of Egypt, am I, servant to an Amalekite, and my lord left me behind, because I fell sick, three days ago.
14 Mun kai hari a Negeb ta Keretawa ta Yahuda, da Negeb ta Kaleb, muka kuma ƙone Ziklag.”
As for us, we invaded the South of the Cherithites, and against that which pertaineth unto Judah, and against the South of Caleb, —and, Ziklag, burned we 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 unto him, Wilt thou bring me down unto this troop? And he said—Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt not put me to death, neither wilt thou surrender me into the hand of my lord, and I will bring thee down unto this troop.
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.
So he brought him down, and lo! they were left to themselves over the face of all the land, —eating, and drinking, and dancing around, for all the great spoil which 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 smote them, from the closing twilight even unto the evening of the next day, —and there escaped not of them a man, save four hundred young men who rode upon camels, and fled.
18 Dawuda ya ƙwato kome da Amalekawa suka kwashe tare da matarsa biyu.
And David rescued all whom the Amalekites had taken, —his two wives also, did David rescue;
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 missing to them—whether small or great, whether spoil, or sons or daughters, or, any thing which they had taken unto themselves, —the whole, did David recover.
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, —they drave them before those other cattle, and they 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 unto the two hundred men, who had been too wearied to follow David, and whom they had suffered to remain at the ravine of Besor, —and they came forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him, and when David came near unto the people, they enquired of his success.
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 responded every man who was bad and abandoned, from among the men who had been with David, and said—Because they went not with me there shall not be given them of the spoil that we have rescued, —save, to every man, his wife and his children, let them put them forth, then, and go.
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, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, —with that which Yahweh hath given to us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the troop 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.”
Who indeed, could hearken unto you, in this mutter? Surely, like the share of him that went down into the battle, even, so, shall be the share of him that remained by the stores—alike, shall they share.
25 Dawuda ya sa wannan tă zama dawwammamiyar farilla ga Isra’ila tun daga wannan rana har yă zuwa yau.
And so it came to pass, from that day forward, that he appointed it, for a statute and for a custom unto Israel, until 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, unto his friends, saying, —Lo! for you, a blessing, out of the spoil of the enemies of Yahweh:
27 Kyautar domin waɗanda suke a Betel, da Ramot ta Negeb, da Yattir,
to them who were in Bethel, and to them who were in Ramoth of the South, and to them who were in Jattir,
28 da Arower, da Sifmot, da Eshtemowa,
and to them who were in Aroer, and to them who were in Siphmoth, and to them who were in Eshtemoa,
29 da Rakal, da garuruwan Yerameyelawa, da garuruwan Keniyawa,
and to them who were in Racal, and to them who were in the cities of the Jerameelites, and to them who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 da Horma, da Bor-Ashan, da Atak,
and to them who were in Hormah, and to them who were in Cor-ashan, and to them who were in Athach,
31 da Hebron, da dukan wuraren da Dawuda da mutanensa suka taɓa zagawa.
and to them who were in Hebron, —and to all the places where David had been to and fro, he and his men.
