1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel.
Da Sama’ila ya tsufa, sai ya naɗa’ya’yansa maza su zama alƙalan Isra’ila.
2 Now the name of his firstborn son was Joel: and the name of the second was Abia, judges in Bersabee.
Sunan ɗansa na fari Yowel, na biyu kuwa Abiya. Suka yi alƙalanci a Beyersheba.
3 And his sons walked not in his ways: but they turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
Amma’ya’yansa ba su bi hanyar mahaifinsu ba. Suka mai da hankalinsu ga neman kuɗi da cin hanci, suna kuma danne gaskiya.
4 Then all the ancients of Israel being assembled, came to Samuel to Ramatha.
Sai dukan shugabannin Isra’ila suka taru suka zo wurin Sama’ila a Rama.
5 And they said to him: Behold thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: make us a king, to judge us, as all nations have.
Suka ce masa, “Ka tsufa,’ya’yanka kuma ba sa bin hanyarka, saboda haka sai ka naɗa sarkin da zai bi da mu kamar yadda sauran ƙasashe suke da su.”
6 And the word was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, that they should say: Give us a king, to judge us. And Samuel prayed to the Lord.
Amma Sama’ila bai ji daɗi sa’ad da suka ce, “Ka ba mu sarki da zai bi da mu.” Sai ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji.
7 And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them.
Ubangiji kuwa ya ce masa, “Ka saurari dukan maganganun da mutanen suke gaya maka. Ai, ba kai ba ne suka ƙi, ni ne suka ƙi in zama sarkinsu.
8 According to all their works, they have done from the day that I brought them out of Egypt until this day: as they have forsaken me, and served strange gods, so do they also unto thee.
Haka suka yi daga tun daga ranar da na fitar da su daga Masar har zuwa yau, suka ƙi ni, suka bauta wa waɗansu alloli, haka ma suke yi maka.
9 Now therefore hearken to their voice: but yet testify to them, and foretell them the right of the king, that shall reign over them.
Yanzu ka saurare su amma ka yi musu kashedi sosai, ka sa su san abin da sarkin da zai bi da su zai yi.”
10 Then Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people that had desired a king of him,
Sama’ila kuwa ya ce wa mutanen da suke roƙo yă naɗa musu sarki dukan abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa.
11 And said: This will be the right of the king, that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and put them in his chariots, and will make them his horsemen, and his running footmen to run before his chariots,
Ya ce musu, “Ga abin da sarkin da zai yi mulkinku zai yi. Zai kwashe’ya’yanku yă sa su yi aiki da kekunan yaƙi da dawakansa, waɗansu za su riƙa gudu a gaban keken yaƙinsa.
12 And he will appoint of them to be his tribunes, and centurions, and to plough his fields, and to reap his corn, and to make him arms and chariots.
Zai sa waɗansu su zama shugabannin mutum dubu-dubu da kuma na hamsin-hamsin. Waɗansu za su yi masa noma da girbi. Waɗansu za su ƙera masa makaman yaƙi da kayayyaki don keken yaƙinsa.
13 Your daughters also he will take to make him ointments, and to be his cooks, and bakers.
Zai sa’ya’yanku mata yin aikin turare da dafe-dafe da kuma toye-toye.
14 And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your best oliveyards, and give them to his servants.
Zai karɓi gonakinku mafi kyau da gonakin inabinku da gonakin zaitunku yă ba wa ma’aikatansa.
15 Moreover he will take the tenth of your corn, and of the revenues of your vineyards, to give his eunuchs and servants.
Zai kuma karɓi zakan hatsinku da na inabinku yă ba shugabannin fadarsa da sauran masu hidimarsa.
16 Your servants also and handmaids, and your goodliest young men, and your asses he will take away, and put them to his work.
Zai ƙwace bayinku maza da mata, da shanunku, da jakunanku mafi kyau domin su yi masa aiki.
17 Your flocks also he will tithe, and you shall be his servants.
Zai karɓi zakan dabbobinku, ku kanku za ku zama bayinsa.
18 And you shall cry out in that day from the face of the king, whom you have chosen to yourselves. and the Lord will not hear you in that day, because you desired unto yourselves a king.
Sa’ad da ranar ta zo, za ku yi kuka ku nemi a fishe ku daga sarkin da kuka zaɓa, Ubangiji kuwa ba zai ji ku ba.”
19 But the people would not hear the voice of Samuel, and they said: Nay: but there shall be a king over us.
Amma mutanen suka ƙi jin Sama’ila, sai suka ce, “A’a, mu dai, muna son sarki yă bi da mu.”
20 And we also will be like all nations: and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and tight our battles for us.
Ta haka za mu zama kamar sauran ƙasashe, mu kasance da sarkin da zai bi da mu, yă tafi tare da mu zuwa yaƙe-yaƙe.
21 And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and rehearsed them in the ears of the Lord.
Da Sama’ila ya ji duk maganganun da mutanen suka faɗa, sai ya mayar wa Ubangiji.
22 And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said to the men of Israel: Let every man go to his city.
Ubangiji kuwa ya ce, “Ka saurare su, ka naɗa masu sarki.” Sa’an nan Sama’ila ya ce wa mutanen Isra’ila, “Kowa yă koma garinsa.”
