1 Samuel 18
1 When he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Bayan da Dawuda ya gama magana da Shawulu, sai Yonatan ɗan Shawulu ya ji zuciyarsa tana son Dawuda sosai. Yonatan kuwa yana ƙaunar Dawuda kamar ransa.
2 Saul took him that day, and wouldn’t let him go home to his father’s house any more.
Tun daga wannan rana Shawulu ya zaunar da Dawuda tare da shi, bai bar shi ya koma gidan mahaifinsa ba.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
Yonatan kuma ya yi yarjejjeniya da Dawuda saboda yana ƙaunarsa kamar ransa.
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him and gave it to David with his clothing, even including his sword, his bow, and his sash.
Yonatan ya tuɓe doguwar taguwarsa da ya sa, ya ba wa Dawuda, tare da sulkensa, har ma da māshi da kibiyarsa, da kuma bel nasa.
5 David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely; and Saul set him over the men of war. It was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants.
Duk abin da Shawulu ya aiki Dawuda yă yi yakan yi shi cikin aminci, har Shawulu ya ba shi babban makami a rundunarsa. Wannan ya faranta wa dukan mutane zuciya har ma da ma’aikatan Shawulu.
6 As they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
Yayinda mutane suke dawowa gida bayan da Dawuda ya kashe Bafilistin, mata suka fito daga dukan biranen Isra’ila don su sadu da Sarki Shawulu, suna waƙoƙi da raye-raye masu farin ciki, da ganguna da sarewa.
7 The women sang to one another as they played, and said, “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”
Suna rawa suna cewa, “Shawulu ya kashe dubbansa, Dawuda kuwa ya kashe dubun dubbai.”
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him. He said, “They have credited David with ten thousands, and they have only credited me with thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?”
Shawulu kuwa ya ji fushi, wannan magana ba tă yi masa daɗi ba, ya yi tunani ya ce, “Suna yabon Dawuda cewa ya kashe dubun dubbai amma ni dubbai kawai. Me ya rage masa yanzu, in ba mulki ba?”
9 Saul watched David from that day and forward.
Tun daga wannan lokaci zuwa gaba, Shawulu ya dinga kishin Dawuda.
10 On the next day, an evil spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the middle of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
Kashegari, mugun ruhu daga Allah ya fāɗo wa Shawulu da tsanani. Yana annabci a gidansa, Dawuda kuwa yana bugan molo kamar yadda ya saba. Shawulu yana riƙe da māshi a hannunsa.
11 and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.
Da ƙarfi yana magana da kansa yana cewa, “Zan kafe Dawuda da bango.” Amma Dawuda ya bauɗe masa sau biyu.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because Yahweh was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Shawulu ya ji tsoron Dawuda don Ubangiji yana tare da shi, amma Ubangiji ya riga ya bar Shawulu.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from his presence, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Saboda haka Shawulu bai yarda Dawuda yă zauna tare da shi ba, amma ya maishe shi shugaban sojoji dubu. Dawuda kuwa ya riƙa bi da su yana kaiwa yana kuma da tare da su.
14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and Yahweh was with him.
A kome da Dawuda ya yi yakan yi nasara gama Ubangiji yana tare da shi.
15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
Da Shawulu ya ga yadda yake cin nasara, sai ya ji tsoronsa.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
Amma dukan Isra’ila da Yahuda suka ƙaunaci Dawuda gama yana bin da su a yaƙe-yaƙensu.
17 Saul said to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab. I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight Yahweh’s battles.” For Saul said, “Don’t let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
Shawulu ya ce wa Dawuda, “Ga diyata Merab zan ba ka ka aura, kai dai ka yi mini aiki da himma, ka kuma yi yaƙe-yaƙen Ubangiji.” Saboda Shawulu ya ce wa kansa, “Ba zan ɗaga hannuna a kansa ba, Filistiyawa ne za su yi wannan.”
18 David said to Saul, “Who am I, and what is my life, or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
Amma Dawuda ya ce wa Shawulu, “Wane ni, wa ya san iyayena ko kabilar iyayena a Isra’ila da zan zama surukin sarki?”
19 But at the time when Merab, Saul’s daughter, should have been given to David, she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
Da lokaci ya kai da Merab’yar Shawulu za tă yi aure da Dawuda, sai aka aurar da ita wa Adriyel na Mehola.
20 Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Mikal’yar Shawulu kuwa tana ƙaunar Dawuda sosai. Da aka gaya wa Shawulu labarin, sai ya yi farin ciki, ya yi tunani ya ce,
21 Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David a second time, “You shall today be my son-in-law.”
“Zan ba shi ita tă zama masa tarko, da haka Filistiyawa za su same shi.” Shawulu ya ce wa Dawuda, “Yanzu kana da dama sau na biyu ka zama surukina.”
22 Saul commanded his servants, “Talk with David secretly, and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore be the king’s son-in-law.’”
Sai Shawulu ya umarci ma’aikatansa cewa, “Ku yi magana da Dawuda asirce ku ce, ‘Duba, sarki yana farin ciki da kai, dukan ma’aikatansa kuma suna sonka, ka yarda ka zama surukinsa.’”
23 Saul’s servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, “Does it seem to you a light thing to be the king’s son-in-law, since I am a poor man and little known?”
Suka sāke yi wa Dawuda wannan magana amma Dawuda ya ce, “Kuna tsammani abu mai sauƙi ne mutum yă zama surukin sarki? Ni talaka ne, kuma ba sananne ba.”
24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, “David spoke like this.”
Da ma’aikatan Shawulu suka gaya masa abin da Dawuda ya faɗa.
25 Saul said, “Tell David, ‘The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king’s enemies.’” Now Saul thought he would make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Sai Shawulu ya ce, “Ku gaya wa Dawuda, ‘Sarki ba ya bukatan kuɗin auren’yarsa, sai dai loɓar Filistiyawa domin ramako a kan abokan gābansa.’” Shawulu yana shiri ne domin Dawuda yă fāɗa a hannun Filistiyawa.
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king’s son-in-law. Before the deadline,
Da ma’aikatan suka gaya wa Dawuda waɗannan abubuwa, sai ya yi murna don zai zama surukin sarki. Amma kafin lokacin yă cika,
27 David arose and went, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king’s son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Michal his daughter as wife.
Dawuda da mutanensa suka fita suka kashe Filistiyawa ɗari biyu, suka kawo loɓar suka miƙa wa sarki, domin yă zama surukin sarki. Sai Shawulu ya ba da’yarsa Mikal aure ga Dawuda.
28 Saul saw and knew that Yahweh was with David; and Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved him.
Da Shawulu ya gane Ubangiji yana tare da Dawuda,’yarsa Mikal kuma tana ƙaunarsa,
29 Saul was even more afraid of David; and Saul was David’s enemy continually.
sai Shawulu ya ƙara jin tsoron Dawuda har ya zama maƙiyinsa a dukan sauran rayuwarsa.
30 Then the princes of the Philistines went out; and as often as they went out, David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name was highly esteemed.
Manyan sojojin Filistiyawa suka yi ta fita suna yaƙi da Isra’ilawa, amma kullum Dawuda yakan sami nasara fiye da sauran manyan sojojin Shawulu. Ta haka ya yi suna ƙwarai.
