1 Samuel 15
1 And Samuel said to Saul, Jehovah sent me to anoint thee king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken to the voice of the words of Jehovah.
Sama’ila ya ce wa Shawulu, “Ni ne wanda Ubangiji ya aika in shafe ka ka zama sarki bisa mutanensa Isra’ila. Saurara yanzu ka ji saƙo daga wurin Ubangiji.
2 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: I have considered what Amalek did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Zan hori Amalekawa saboda abin da suka yi wa Isra’ila sa’ad da suka ba su wahala yayinda suka fito daga Masar.
3 Now go and smite Amalek, and destroy utterly all that they have, and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Yanzu ka tafi ka yaƙi Amalekawa, ka hallaka kome da yake nasu, kada ka bar su da rai, ka kashe maza, da mata, da yara, da jarirai, da dabbobi, da tumaki, da raƙuma, da kuma jakuna.’”
4 And Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
Sai Shawulu ya tattara sojoji, ya ƙidaya su a Telayim, ya sami su dubu ɗari biyu da dubu goma daga Yahuda.
5 And Saul came to the city of the Amalekites, and set an ambush in the valley.
Shawulu ya tafi birnin Amalek ya yi kwanto a kwari.
6 And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, and go down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them; for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt. And the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
Sai Shawulu ya ce wa Keniyawa, “Ku tashi ku bar Amalekawa don kada in hallaka ku tare da su, saboda kun yi wa dukan Isra’ilawa kirki, lokacin da suka fito daga Masar.” Saboda haka Keniyawa suka tashi suka bar Amalekawa.
7 And Saul smote Amalek from Havilah as thou comest to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt.
Sa’an nan Shawulu ya ci Amalekawa da yaƙi tun daga Hawila har zuwa Shur, a gabashin iyakar Masar.
8 And he took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
Ya kama Agag sarkin Amalekawa da rai. Ya kuma hallaka dukan mutanensa da takobi.
9 And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep and oxen, and beasts of the second bearing, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not devote them to destruction; but everything that was mean and weak, that they destroyed utterly.
Amma Shawulu da sojojinsa suka bar Agag, da tumaki, da shanu, da’yan maruƙa masu ƙiba da kuma duk abin da yake mai kyau da rai. Waɗannan ba su so su hallaka su gaba ɗaya ba, amma duk abin da ba a so da kuma marar amfani suka hallaka.
10 And the word of Jehovah came to Samuel, saying,
Sai Ubangiji ya yi magana da Sama’ila ya ce,
11 It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned away from following me, and hath not fulfilled my words. And Samuel was much grieved; and he cried to Jehovah all night.
“Na damu da na naɗa Shawulu sarki, domin ya juya mini baya, bai kuma bi umarnina ba.” Sama’ila ya damu ƙwarai, ya yi kuka ga Ubangiji dukan dare.
12 And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning. And it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set him up a monument, and has turned about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
Kashegari da sassafe sai Sama’ila ya tashi ya tafi domin yă sadu da Shawulu, amma aka gaya masa cewa Shawulu ya tafi Karmel. A can ya yi wa kansa abin tunawa don yă girmama kansa, daga can kuma ya juya ya gangara zuwa Gilgal.
13 And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, Blessed art thou of Jehovah: I have fulfilled the word of Jehovah.
Da Sama’ila ya kai wurinsa, sai Shawulu ya ce, “Ubangiji yă albarkace ka, na aikata umarnin Ubangiji.”
14 And Samuel said, What [means] then this bleating of sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of oxen which I hear?
Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ashe, waɗannan ba kukan tumaki ke nan nake ji a kunnena ba? Wane kuka shanu ke nan nake ji?”
15 And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites, because the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
Shawulu ya amsa ya ce, “Sojoji ne suka kawo su daga Amalekawa. Sun bar tumaki da shanu masu kyau da rai don su yi wa Ubangiji Allahnka hadaya, amma sauran mun hallaka duka.”
16 And Samuel said to Saul, Stay, that I may tell thee what Jehovah has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.
Sama’ila ya ce, “Dakata, bari in faɗa maka abin da Ubangiji ya ce mini jiya da dare.” Shawulu ya ce, “Gaya mini.”
17 And Samuel said, Was it not when thou wast little in thine eyes that thou [becamest] the head of the tribes of Israel, and Jehovah anointed thee king over Israel?
Sama’ila ya ce, “Ko da yake kana ganin kanka kai ba wani abu ne ba, ashe, ba kai ne yanzu shugaban kabilan Isra’ila ba? Ubangiji ya shafe ka ka zama sarkin Isra’ila.
18 And Jehovah sent thee on a way and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
Shi kuma ya aika, ya umarce ka cewa, ‘Tafi ka hallaka Amalekawa mugayen mutanen nan duka, ka yaƙe su sai ka share su ƙaf.’
19 Why then didst thou not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, but didst fall upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of Jehovah?
Me ya sa ba ka bi umarnin Ubangiji ba? Me ya sa ka sa hannu a ganima, ka kuma yi mugun abu a gaban Ubangiji?”
20 And Saul said to Samuel, I have indeed hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
Shawulu ya ce, “Amma na bi umarnin Ubangiji. Na bi saƙon da Ubangiji ya ba ni. Na hallaka Amalekawa, na kuma kamo Agag sarkinsu.
21 But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the choicest of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God in Gilgal.
Sojoji suka kawo tumaki da shanu mafi kyau daga cikin ganimar domin a miƙa hadaya ga Ubangiji Allahnka a Gilgal.”
22 And Samuel said, Has Jehovah delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices, As in hearkening to the voice of Jehovah? Behold, obedience is better than sacrifice, Attention than the fat of rams.
Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ubangiji yana murna da sadaka da hadaya fiye da biyayya ga maganar Ubangiji? Yin biyayya ta fi hadaya a kula kuma ta fi ƙibabbun raguna.
23 For rebellion is [as] the sin of divination, And selfwill is [as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, He hath also rejected thee from being king.
Gama tawaye yana kama da zunubi na duba, girman kai kuma yana kama da bautar gumaka. Saboda ka ƙi maganar Ubangiji, shi ma ya ƙi ka da zaman sarki.”
24 And Saul said to Samuel, I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and thy words; for I feared the people, and hearkened to their voice.
Sai Shawulu ya ce wa Sama’ila, “Na yi zunubi, na ƙi bin umarnin Ubangiji, na kuma ƙi bin maganarka. Na ji tsoron mutane ne shi ya sa na bi maganarsu.
25 And now, I pray thee, forgive my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah.
Yanzu fa, ina roƙonka ka yafe mini zunubina, ka koma tare da ni, domin in yi wa Ubangiji sujada.”
26 And Samuel said to Saul, I will not turn again with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah has rejected thee from being king over Israel.
Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ba zan koma tare da kai ba. Ka ƙi maganar Ubangiji, Ubangiji kuma ya ƙi ka da zama sarki a bisa Isra’ila.”
27 And as Samuel turned to go away, [Saul] laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
Da Sama’ila ya juya zai tafi, sai Shawulu ya kama bakin rigarsa, sai rigar ta yage.
28 Then Samuel said to him, Jehovah has rent the kingdom of Israel from thee to-day, and has given it to thy neighbour, who is better than thou.
Sama’ila ya ce masa, “Ubangiji ya yage masarautar Isra’ila daga gare ka yau, ya ba wa wani daga cikin maƙwabtanka wanda ya fi ka.
29 And also the Hope of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.
Shi wanda yake Ɗaukakar Isra’ila ba ya ƙarya ko yă canja zuciyarsa, gama shi ba mutum ba ne da zai canja zuciyarsa.”
30 And he said, I have sinned; honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah thy God.
Shawulu ya ce, “Na yi zunubi. Amma ina roƙonka ka ba ni girma a gaban dattawan mutanena da kuma a gaban Isra’ila, ka koma tare da ni domin in yi wa Ubangiji Allahnka sujada.”
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped Jehovah.
Saboda haka sai Sama’ila ya koma tare da Shawulu, Shawulu kuwa ya yi wa Ubangiji sujada.
32 And Samuel said, Bring ye near to me Agag the king of Amalek. And Agag came to him gaily. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
Sa’an nan Sama’ila ya ce, “Kawo mini Agag sarkin Amalekawa.” Agag kuwa ya zo wurinsa daure da sarƙa, yana tunani cewa, “Tabbatacce zancen mutuwa dai ya wuce.”
33 And Samuel said, As thy sword has made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless above women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Jehovah in Gilgal.
Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Yadda takobinka ya sa mata suka rasa’ya’ya, haka mahaifiyarka za tă zama marar’ya’ya a cikin mata.” Sama’ila kuwa ya kashe Agag a Gilgal a gaban Ubangiji.
34 And Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
Sai Sama’ila ya tafi Rama, amma Shawulu ya haura zuwa gidansa a Gibeya na Shawulu.
35 And Samuel saw Saul no more until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned over Saul; and Jehovah repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
Daga wannan rana Sama’ila bai ƙara saduwa da sarki Shawulu ba, har rasuwar Sama’ila, amma ya yi baƙin ciki sosai a kan Shawulu. Ubangiji kuwa ya damu da ya sa Shawulu ya zama Sarkin Isra’ila ba.
