1 Samuel 12
1 And Samuel said to all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened to your voice in all that ye said to me, and have made a king over you.
Sama’ila ya ce wa Isra’ilawa duka, “Na saurari abubuwan da kuka faɗa mini, na kuma naɗa muku sarki.
2 And now behold, the king walks before you; and I am old and grey-headed; and behold, my sons are with you; and I have walked before you from my youth up to this day.
Yanzu kuna da sarki a matsayin shugaba, ni kuwa na tsufa har da furfura, yarana maza kuma suna tare da ku. Na yi shugabancinku tun ina yaro.
3 Here I am: testify against me before Jehovah, and before his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I injured? or of whose hand have I received any ransom and blinded mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it to you.
Ga ni a gabanku. Idan na yi wani abin da ba daidai ba sai ku faɗa a gaban Ubangiji, da gaban sarkin da ya keɓe. Ko na taɓa ƙwace saniya ko jakin wani? Ko na taɓa cuce wani, ko in danne hakkinsa? Ko na taɓa cin hanci daga hannun ɗayanku? Idan na taɓa yi ɗaya daga cikin waɗannan, sai ku faɗa mini, zan kuwa mayar masa.”
4 And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, and thou hast not injured us, neither hast thou taken aught of any man's hand.
Suka ce, “Ba ka cuci ko danne hakkin kowa ba, ba ka ƙwace kome daga hannun kowa ba.”
5 And he said to them, Jehovah is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found aught in my hand! And [the people] said, [He is] witness!
Sama’ila ya ce musu, “Ubangiji yă zama shaida a kanku, shafaffensa kuma yă zama shaida a wannan rana cewa ba ku same ni da wani laifin kome ba.” Suka ce, “I, shi ne shaida.”
6 And Samuel said to the people, [It is] Jehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
Sa’an nan Sama’ila ya ce wa mutane, Ubangiji ne ya naɗa Musa da Haruna suka fitar da kakanninku daga Masar.
7 And now stand still, that I may plead with you before Jehovah of all the righteous acts of Jehovah which he did to you and to your fathers.
Yanzu ku tsaya nan zan yi fito-na-fito da ku da shaida a gaban Ubangiji kan dukan ayyuka masu alherin da Ubangiji ya aikata saboda ku da kakanninku.
8 When Jacob had come into Egypt, and your fathers cried to Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought your fathers forth out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
Bayan da Yaƙub da’ya’yansa suka shiga Masar suka yi kukan neman taimako daga Ubangiji, Ubangiji kuwa ya aika musu da Musa da Haruna. Su ne suka kawo kakanni-kakanninku daga Masar suka zauna a nan.
9 And they forgot Jehovah their God, and he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
Amma suka manta da Ubangiji Allahnsu, shi kuma ya bashe su a hannun Sisera shugaban rundunar Hazor da kuma hannun Filistiyawa da sarkin Mowab wanda suka yi yaƙi da su.
10 And they cried to Jehovah and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken Jehovah, and have served the Baals and the Ashtoreths; and now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
Suka yi kuka a gaban Ubangiji suka ce, “Mun yi zunubi mun bar Ubangiji, muka bauta wa Ba’al da Ashtarot. Amma ka cece mu yanzu daga hannun abokan gābanmu, mu kuwa za mu bauta maka.”
11 And Jehovah sent Jerubbaal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies round about, so that ye dwelt in safety.
Sai Ubangiji ya aiki Yerub-Ba’al da Bedan da Yefta da Sama’ila, ya cece ku daga hannun abokan gābanku a kowane gefe domin ku sami cikakken zaman lafiya.
12 But when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said to me, Nay, but a king shall reign over us; when Jehovah your God was your king.
Amma da kuka ga Nahash sarkin Ammonawa yana matsowa yă yaƙe, sai kuka ce mini, “Sam, muna so sarki yă shugabance mu.” Ko da yake Ubangiji Allahnku ne yake mulkinku.
13 And now behold, the king whom ye have chosen, whom ye have asked for! and behold, Jehovah has set a king over you.
Yanzu ga sarkinku da kuka zaɓa wanda kuka nema, ga shi Ubangiji ya naɗa muku sarki.
14 If ye fear Jehovah, and serve him, and hearken to his voice, and rebel not against the commandment of Jehovah, then both ye and the king also that reigns over you shall continue following Jehovah your God.
In kuka ji tsoron Ubangiji, kuka bauta masa, kuka yi masa biyayya, ba ku kuwa ƙi bin umarninsa ba, in kuma ku da sarkin da yake mulkinku kun bi Ubangiji Allahnku, to, za ku zauna lafiya.
15 But if ye will not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and if ye rebel against the commandment of Jehovah, then will the hand of Jehovah be against you, as against your fathers.
Amma in ba ku yi biyayya ga Ubangiji ba, in kuma kuka ƙi bin umarnansa, fushinsa zai zauna a kanku.
16 Now therefore stand and see this great thing which Jehovah will do before your eyes.
Yanzu ku tsaya tsit ku ga abin da Ubangiji ke dab da yi a gabanku.
17 Is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I will call unto Jehovah, and he will send thunder and rain; and ye shall perceive and see that your wickedness is great which ye have done in the sight of Jehovah in asking for yourselves a king.
Ba lokacin yankan alkama ke nan ba? Zan roƙi Ubangiji yă aiko da tsawa da ruwan sama, za ku kuwa gane wace irin mugunta kuka yi a gaban Ubangiji sa’ad da kuka roƙa a ba ku sarki.
18 And Samuel called to Jehovah; and Jehovah sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared Jehovah and Samuel.
Sai Sama’ila ya roƙi Ubangiji, a ranar kuwa Ubangiji ya aiko da tsawa da ruwan sama. Dukan mutane suka ji tsoron Ubangiji da kuma Sama’ila.
19 And all the people said to Samuel, Pray to Jehovah thy God for thy servants, that we die not; for we have added to all our sins the wickedness to ask for ourselves a king.
Dukan mutane suka ce wa Sama’ila, “Ka yi addu’a ga Ubangiji Allahnka saboda bayinka, domin kada mu mutu, gama mun ƙara wa kanmu zunubi da muka roƙa a yi mana sarki.”
20 And Samuel said to the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness; yet turn not aside from following Jehovah, and serve Jehovah with all your heart;
Sama’ila ya ce, “Kada ku ji tsoro.” Kun yi waɗannan mugunta duk da haka kada ku bar bin Ubangiji, amma ku bauta wa Ubangiji da dukan zuciyarku.
21 and turn ye not aside; for [it would be] after vain things which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
Kada ku bi alloli marasa amfani. Ba za su iya yi muku kome nagari ba, ba kuwa za su iya cece ku ba, gama ba su da amfani.
22 For Jehovah will not cast away his people for his great name's sake; because it has pleased Jehovah to make you his people.
Saboda suna mai girma da Ubangiji yake da shi, ba zai taɓa ƙin mutanensa ba. Gama Ubangiji ya ji daɗi da ya yi ku mutanensa.
23 Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against Jehovah in ceasing to pray for you; and I will teach you the good and right way.
Ni kam ba zai taɓa yiwu in yi wa Ubangiji zunubi ta wurin ƙin yin addu’a dominku ba. Zan koya muku hanyar da tana da kyau da ta kuma cancanta.
24 Only, fear Jehovah, and serve him in truth, with all your heart; for see how great things he has done for you.
Amma ku amince za ku ji tsoron Ubangiji, ku bauta masa da aniya da dukan zuciyarku, kuna da manyan abubuwan da ya yi muku.
25 But if ye do wickedly, ye shall perish, both ye and your king.
Amma in kuka duƙufa cikin aikin mugunta da ku da sarkinku za a hallaka ku.
