1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was...years old when he became king; and he reigned two years over Israel.
Shawulu yana da shekara talatin sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi sarautar Isra’ila shekara arba’in da biyu.
2 And Saul chose him three thousand men out of Israel: there were with Saul two thousand in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
Sai ya zaɓi sojoji dubu uku daga jama’ar Isra’ila. Ya keɓe dubu biyu su kasance tare da shi a Mikmash da kuma a tuddan yankin Betel. Ya kuma bar dubu ɗaya tare da ɗansa Yonatan a Gibeya a yankin zuriyar Benyamin. Sauran sojojin kuwa Shawulu ya sallame su su koma gidajensu.
3 And Jonathan smote the outpost of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
Yonatan ya kai wa Filistiyawa hari a Geba, sai Filistiyawa suka sami labarin. Sai Shawulu ya sa aka busa ƙaho ko’ina a ƙasar ya ce, “Bari Ibraniyawa su ji!”
4 And all Israel heard say, Saul has smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and Israel also has become odious to the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
Haka kuwa dukan Isra’ila suka ji labari cewa, “Shawulu ya kai hari a ƙasar Filistiyawa, yanzu Isra’ila ta zama abin ƙi ga Filistiyawa.” Aka kira mutane su haɗu da Shawulu a Gilgal.
5 And the Philistines were assembled together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea-shore in multitude; and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward from Beth-Aven.
Sai Filistiyawa suka taru don su yi yaƙi da Isra’ilawa. Suka fito da kekunan-dawakan yaƙi dubu talatin, da masu hawan dawakai dubu shida, da sojoji masu yawa kamar yashi a bakin teku. Suka tafi Mikmash a gabashin Bet-Awen, suka kafa sansani a can.
6 And the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed); and the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in cliffs, and in strongholds, and in pits.
Sa’ad da Filistiyawa suka fāɗa wa Isra’ilawa da yaƙi mai tsanani, suka sa su cikin wani hali mai wuya, sai Isra’ilawa suka ɓuya a kogwanni, da ciyayi, da duwatsu, da ramummuka, da rijiyoyi.
7 And the Hebrews went over the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. And Saul was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
Waɗansunsu ma suka haye Urdun zuwa ƙasar Gad da Gileyad. Shawulu ya zauna Gilgal, dukan ƙungiyoyi sojojin da suke tare da shi suka yi rawan jiki don tsoro.
8 And he waited seven days, according to the set time that Samuel [had appointed]; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
Ya jira har kwana bakwai bisa ga lokacin da Sama’ila ya bayar. Amma Sama’ila bai zo Gilgal ba, mutanen Shawulu suka fara watsewa.
9 And Saul said, Bring hither to me the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings. And he offered up the burnt-offering.
Sai ya ce, “Ku kawo mini hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta salama.” Sai Shawulu ya miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa.
10 And it came to pass, as soon as he had ended offering up the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
Daidai yana gama miƙa hadaya ke nan sai Sama’ila ya iso. Shawulu kuma ya fito domin yă yi masa maraba.
11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou didst not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines were assembled at Michmash,
Sama’ila ya ce, “Me ke nan ka yi?” Shawulu ya ce, “Sa’ad da na ga mutane suna watsewa, kai kuwa ba ka zo cikin lokaci ba, ga Filistiyawa kuma suna taruwa a Mikmash,
12 I said, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to Jehovah; and I forced myself, and offered up the burnt-offering.
sai na yi tunani cewa, ‘Yanzu Filistiyawa za su gangaro su fāɗa mini a Gilgal, ga ni kuma ban riga na nemi nufin Ubangiji ba.’ Shi ya sa ya zama mini tilas in miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa.”
13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God which he commanded thee; for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever.
Sama’ila ya ce, “Ka yi wauta da ba ka bi umarnin da Ubangiji Allahnka ya ba ka ba. Da ka yi haka da Ubangiji ya tabbatar maka da sarautar Isra’ila har abada.
14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah has sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah has appointed him ruler over his people; for thou hast not kept what Jehovah commanded thee.
Amma yanzu, masarautarka ba za tă dawwama ba, Ubangiji ya riga ya sami wani wanda zuciyarsa ke ƙauna, ya naɗa shi shugaban mutanensa gama ba ka bi umarnin Ubangiji ba.”
15 And Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were found with him, about six hundred men.
Sama’ila ya tashi daga Gilgal ya tafi Gibeya a ƙasar Benyamin. Shawulu kuma ya ƙidaya mutanen da suke tare da shi, yawansu ya kai wajen mutum ɗari shida.
16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were found with them, abode in Geba of Benjamin; and the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
Shawulu da ɗansa Yonatan da mutanen da suke tare da shi suka zauna a Geba ta Benyamin. Sa’an nan Filistiyawa suka yi sansani a Mikmash.
17 And the ravagers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned the way of Ophrah, into the land of Shual;
Rundunar mayaƙa uku suka fito daga sansani Filistiyawa. Ɗaya ta nufi Ofra, zuwa ƙasar Shuwal.
18 and another company turned the way to Beth-horon; and the other company turned the way to the district that looks over the ravine of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
Runduna guda kuma ta nufi Bet-Horon, ɗayan kuwa ta nufi iyakar da take fuskantar Kwarin Ziboyim wajen jeji.
19 Now there was no smith found throughout the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears.
Ba a sami maƙeri ɗaya a dukan ƙasar Isra’ila ba domin Filistiyawa sun ce, “In ba haka ba Ibraniyawa za su ƙera wa kansu takuba ko māsu.”
20 And all Israel went down to the Philistines, every man to get his ploughshare, and his hoe, and his axe, and his sickle sharpened,
Saboda haka dukan Isra’ila sukan gangara zuwa wajen Filistiyawa domin su gyara bakin garemaninsu, da fartanansu, da gaturansu, da kuma laujunansu.
21 when the edges of the sickles, and the hoes, and the forks, and the axes were blunted; and to set the goads.
Duk lokacin da za su gyara bakin garmansu da fartanyarsu sai sun biya tsabar azurfa biyu. Haka ma idan za su gyara gatari ko bakunan abin korar shanun noma sai sun biya tsabar azurfa ɗaya.
22 And it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and with Jonathan his son there was found.
A ranar da yaƙi ya tashi, ba a sami wanda yake da takobi ko māshi ba a cikin mutanen da suke tare da Shawulu da Yonatan. Sai dai Shawulu da ɗansa Yonatan kaɗai.
23 And a garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
Ana nan sai sojojin Filistiyawa suka fita zuwa mashigin Mikmash.
