1 UDavida wasesuka lapho, waphephela ebhalwini lweAdulamu. Lapho abafowabo lendlu yonke kayise bekuzwa lokho, behlela kuye lapho.
Dawuda ya bar Gat, ya tsere zuwa kogon Adullam. Da’yan’uwansa da kuma iyalan mahaifinsa suka ji labari, sai suka tafi can wurinsa.
2 Kwasekubuthana kuye wonke umuntu ocindezelweyo, laye wonke umuntu owayelesikwelede, laye wonke umuntu owayebuhlungu emphefumulweni, wasesiba yinduna phezu kwabo, kwaze kwaba laye phose abantu abangamakhulu amane.
Dukan mutanen da suke cikin wahala, da waɗanda ake binsu bashi, da masu damuwoyi, suka tattaru a wurin Dawuda. Shi kuwa ya zama shugabansu. Yawansu ya kai ɗari huɗu.
3 UDavida wasesuka lapho waya eMizipa yakoMowabi, wathi enkosini yakoMowabi: Ngiyacela ukuthi ubaba lomama baphume lani, ngize ngazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzangenzelani.
Daga can Dawuda ya tafi Mizfa a Mowab. Ya ce wa sarkin Mowab, “Za ka yarda mahaifina da mahaifiyata su zo su zauna a wurinka kafin in san abin da Allah zai yi da ni?”
4 Wasebaletha phambi kwenkosi yakoMowabi, basebehlala layo insuku zonke uDavida esenqabeni.
Saboda haka ya bar su a wurin sarkin Mowab, suka zauna da shi duk tsawon lokacin da Dawuda yake ta ɓuya a kogwannin duwatsu.
5 Umprofethi uGadi wasesithi kuDavida: Ungahlali enqabeni; hamba wena ngena elizweni lakoJuda. UDavida wasehamba wangena eguswini leHerethi.
Amma annabin nan Gad ya ce wa Dawuda, “Kada ka zauna a nan, maza ka tashi ka shiga ƙasar Yahuda”. Sai Dawuda ya tashi ya tafi jejin Heret.
6 USawuli wasesizwa ukuthi uDavida uyaziwa labantu ababelaye. USawuli wayehlezi eGibeya ngaphansi kwesihlahla setamarisiki eRama, elomkhonto esandleni sakhe, lazo zonke inceku zakhe zazimi laye.
Sai Shawulu ya sami labari cewa an ga Dawuda da mutanensa. Shawulu kuwa yana zaune da māshinsa kusa a ƙarƙashin itacen tsamiya a tudun Gibeya, tare da dukan ma’aikatansa kewaye da shi.
7 USawuli wasesithi ezincekwini zakhe ezazimi laye: Ake lizwe, bakoBhenjamini: Kambe indodana kaJese izalinika lonke amasimu lezivini, ilibeke lonke libe zinduna zezinkulungwane lezinduna zamakhulu,
Ya ce musu, “Mutanen Benyamin, ku saurara; ɗan Yesse zai iya ba dukanku filaye da gonakin inabi ne? Zai ba dukanku shugabanci na dubbai ko shugabanci na ɗari-ɗari?
8 ngokuthi lonke lingenzele ugobe, njalo kakho owembule endlebeni yami ukuthi indodana yami yenza isivumelwano lendodana kaJese; kakho loyedwa kini ongizwelayo, lowembula endlebeni yami, ukuthi indodana yami ingivusela inceku yami ukuthi icathame njengalamuhla?
Abin da ya sa dukanku kuka gama baki a kaina? Ba wanda ya gaya mini lokacin da ɗana ya yi yarjejjeniya da ɗan Yesse, ba wanda ya kulla da ni, ko ya gaya mini cewa ɗana ya sa bawana yă tayar mini, yana fakona kamar yadda yake a yau.”
9 Kwasekuphendula uDowegi umEdoma owayemi lenceku zikaSawuli, wathi: Ngayibona indodana kaJese isiza eNobi kuAhimeleki indodana kaAhitubi.
Amma Doyeg mutumin Edom da yake tsaye tare da fadawan Shawulu ya ce, “Na ga ɗan Yesse ya zo wurin Ahimelek ɗan Ahitub a Nob.
10 Wasembuzela eNkosini, wamnika umphako, lenkemba kaGoliyathi umFilisti wamnika yona.
Ahimelek ya roƙi Ubangiji saboda shi, ya kuma ba shi guzuri da takobin Goliyat Bafilistin.”
11 Inkosi uSawuli yasithuma ukubiza uAhimeleki umpristi, indodana kaAhitubi, lendlu yonke kayise, abapristi ababeseNobi; bonke basebesiza enkosini.
Sai sarki ya aika aka kira masa Ahimelek firist ɗan Ahitub da dukan iyalin mahaifinsa. Dukansu suka zo wurin sarki.
12 USawuli wasesithi: Ake ulalele, ndodana kaAhitubi. Wasesithi: Khangela ngilapha, nkosi yami.
Shawulu ya ce, “Ka saurara yanzu, ɗan Ahitub.” Ya amsa ya ce, “Ina saurara, ranka yă daɗe.”
13 USawuli wasesithi kuye: Kungani lingenzela ugobe, wena lendodana kaJese, njengoba wayinika isinkwa lenkemba, wayibuzela kuNkulunkulu, ukuthi ingivukele icathame njengalamuhla?
Shawulu ya ce masa, “Don me ka gama baki da ɗan Yesse a kaina har ka ba shi burodi da takobin (Goliyat), ka kuma roƙi Allah don yă tayar mini, yă kuma yi fakona kamar yadda yake yi yau?”
14 UAhimeleki waseyiphendula inkosi wathi: Pho, ngubani kuzo zonke inceku zakho othembekileyo njengoDavida, ongumkhwenyana wenkosi, oqhubeka ekukulaleleni, lohloniphekayo endlini yakho?
Ahimelek ya ce wa sarki, “A cikin bayinka duka, wa ke da aminci iri na Dawuda, surukin sarki, shugaban jarumanka wanda ake girmamawa da gaske a gidanka?
15 Ngiyaqalisa lamuhla yini ukumbuzela kuNkulunkulu? Kakube khatshana lami! Inkosi kayingabeki udaba encekwini yayo lendlini yonke kababa; ngoba inceku yakho yayingazi lutho ngaloludaba, oluncinyane kumbe olukhulu.
A wannan rana ce da na fara roƙon Allah saboda shi? Kada sarki yă zargi bawansa ko wani daga iyalin mahaifinsa, gama bawanka bai san kome a kan dukan waɗannan al’amura ba.”
16 Inkosi yasisithi: Ahimeleki, uzakufa lokufa, wena lendlu yonke kayihlo.
Amma sarki ya ce, “Lalle Ahimelek za ka mutu, da kai da dukan iyalin mahaifinka.”
17 Inkosi yasisithi kuzigijimi ezazimi layo: Phendukani, libulale abapristi beNkosi; ngoba isandla sabo laso siloDavida, futhi ngoba babesazi ukuthi ubalekile, kodwa kabembulanga endlebeni yami. Kodwa inceku zenkosi kazithandanga ukwelula isandla sazo ukuthi zihlasele abapristi beNkosi.
Sai sarki ya umarci matsaran da suke tsaye kusa da shi ya ce, “Ku kakkashe firistocin Ubangiji, gama su ma sun goyi bayan Dawuda. Sun san yana gudu, duk da haka ba su gaya mini ba.” Amma ma’aikatan sarki ba su yarda su sa hannu su kashe firistocin Ubangiji ba.
18 Inkosi yasisithi kuDowegi: Phenduka wena, uhlasele abapristi. UDowegi umEdoma wasephenduka, yena wahlasela abapristi, wabulala ngalolosuku abantu abangamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lanhlanu ababegqoke i-efodi yelembu elicolekileyo.
Sai sarki ya umarce Doyeg ya ce, “Ka juya ka kakkashe firistocin.” Doyeg mutumin Edom ya juya ya kakkashe firistocin. A ranar kuwa ya kashe mutum tamanin da biyar waɗanda suke sanye da efod na lilin.
19 LeNobi, umuzi wabapristi, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, kusukela endodeni kusiya kowesifazana, kusukela emntwaneni kusiya komunyayo, lezinkabi labobabhemi lezimvu, ngobukhali benkemba.
Ya kuma hallaka Nob birnin firistoci, ya kashe dukan mata, da maza, da yara, da jarirai, da shanu, da jakuna, da kuma tumaki.
20 Kodwa omunye wamadodana kaAhimeleki indodana kaAhitubi waphepha, obizo lakhe lalinguAbhiyatha, wabaleka walandela uDavida.
Amma Abiyatar ɗan Ahimelek jikan Ahitub ya tsere, ya gudu zuwa wurin Dawuda.
21 UAbhiyatha wasetshela uDavida ukuthi uSawuli ubulele abapristi beNkosi.
Abiyatar gaya wa Dawuda cewa, “Shawulu ya hallaka firistocin Ubangiji.”
22 UDavida wasesithi kuAbhiyatha: Ngakwazi ngalolosuku lapho uDowegi umEdoma elapho ukuthi uzamtshela lokumtshela uSawuli. Yimi engibangele ukufa kwawo wonke umphefumulo wendlu kayihlo.
Dawuda ya ce wa Abiyatar, “Lalle a wancan ranar, sa’ad da na ga Doyeg mutumin Edom a can, na san tabbatacce zai gaya wa sarki. Ni ne sanadin mutuwar dukan iyalin mahaifinka.
23 Hlala lami, ungesabi, ngoba lowo odinga umphefumulo wami udinga umphefumulo wakho; kodwa uzalondolozeka ulami.
Ka zauna tare da ni, kada ka ji tsoro mutumin da yake neman ranka, yana nema raina ma. Ka zauna lafiya tare da ni.”
