1 Samuel 14
1 One day Jonathan, son of Saul, said to the young armor-bearer, “Come on, let's cross over to the Philistine garrison on the other side.” But he didn't let his father know his plans.
Wata rana Yonatan ɗan Shawulu ya ce wa saurayin da yake ɗaukar masa makamai, “Zo mu tafi wajen sansanin Filistiyawa a wancan hayi.” Amma bai gaya wa mahaifinsa ba.
2 Saul was staying near Gibeah under a pomegranate tree in Migron. He had about six hundred men with him,
Shawulu kuwa na zaune a gindin itacen rumman a bayan garin Gibeya a Migron. Tare da shi akwai mutum wajen ɗari shida.
3 including Ahijah, who was wearing an ephod. He was a son of Ichabod's brother Ahitub, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, priest of the Lord in Shiloh. No one realized Jonathan had left.
A cikinsu akwai Ahiya sanye da efod. Shi yaron Ikabod ɗan’uwan Ahitub ne, ɗan Finehas, ɗan Eli, firist na Ubangiji a Shilo. Ba wanda ya san cewa Yonatan ya tafi wani wuri.
4 Cliffs stood on both sides of the pass that Jonathan planned to cross to reach the Philistine garrison, one called Bozez and the other Seneh.
A kowane gefe na mashigin da Yonatan ya so yă bi zuwa wurin Filistiyawa, akwai hawa mai tsawo, ana kira ɗaya Bozez, ɗayan kuma ana kira Senet.
5 The cliff to the north was on the Michmash side, the one to the south on the Geba side.
Hawan da yake arewa yana fuskantar Mikmash, wanda yake kudu kuma yana fuskantar Geba.
6 Jonathan said to the young armor-bearer, “Come on, let's cross over to the garrison of these heathen men. Maybe the Lord will help us out. It's not a problem for the Lord to win, whether by many or by few.”
Yonatan ya ce wa saurayin mai ɗaukan makamai, “Zo mu haye zuwa mashigin mutane marasa kaciyan nan, wataƙila Ubangiji zai yi aiki a madadinmu. Ba abin da zai iya hana Ubangiji yin aikin ceto ta wurin mutane masu yawa, ko ta wurin mutane kaɗan.”
7 “You choose what you want to do,” the armor-bearer replied. “I'm with you whatever you decide!”
Mai ɗaukan makaman ya ce, “Ka yi duk abin da yake zuciyarka. Ci gaba, ina tare da kai gaba da baya.”
8 “Let's go then!” Jonathan said. “We'll cross over in their direction so they can see us.
Yonatan ya ce, “To, zo mu haye zuwa wajen mutanen, mu sa su gan mu.
9 If they tell us, ‘Wait there until we come down to you,’ we will wait where we are and we won't go up to them.
In suka ce mana, ‘Ku tsaya nan har mu zo wurinku,’ za mu dakata inda muke, ba za mu haura wajensu ba.
10 But if they say, ‘Come on up to us,’ we'll climb up, for that will be the sign that the Lord has handed them over to us.”
Amma in suka ce mana, ‘Ku haura wurinmu,’ to, sai mu haura, wannan zai zama mana alama cewa Ubangiji ya bashe su a hannunmu.”
11 So both of them let themselves be seen by Philistine garrison. “Hey, look!” shouted the Philistines. “The Hebrews are coming out of the holes they were hiding in.”
Sai suka nuna kansu a sansanin Filistiyawa. Sai Filistiyawa suka ce, “Ku duba ga Ibraniyawa suna fitowa daga cikin ramummuka inda suka ɓuya.”
12 The men from the garrison called down to Jonathan and his armor-bearer, “Come up here, and we'll teach you a thing or two!” “Follow me up,” Jonathan told his armor-bearer, “for the Lord has handed them over to Israel.”
Mutanen da suke sansanin suka kira Yonatan da mai ɗaukan makamansa da babbar murya suka ce, “Ku hauro wajenmu, mu kuwa za mu koya muku hankali.” Sai Yonatan ya ce wa mai ɗaukan makamansa, “Biyo ni, gama Ubangiji ya bashe su a hannun Isra’ila.”
13 So Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor-bearer right behind him. Jonathan attacked and killed them, and his armor-bearer followed doing the same.
Sai Yonatan ya hau dutsen da rarrafe, mai ɗaukan makamansa kuwa yana biye. Yonatan ya yi ta fyaɗa Filistiyawa da ƙasa, mai ɗaukan makamansa kuma ya yi ta karkashe su.
14 In this first attack, Jonathan and his armor-bearer killed about twenty men over an area of half an acre.
A wannan karo na farko Yonatan da mai ɗaukan makamansa suka kashe mutum wajen ashirin a wani fili mai fāɗi rabin kadada.
15 Then Philistines went into a panic, in the camp, in the field, and throughout their army. Even those in the outposts and the groups of raiders became terrified. The earth shook—this was a panic from God.
Sai tsoro ya kama dukan sojojin Filistiyawa, waɗanda suke cikin sansanin da waɗanda suke fili, har da waɗanda suke waje, da kuma waɗanda suke kai hari, ƙasa ta girgiza. Allah ne ya kawo wannan rikicewa.
16 Saul's lookouts at Gibeah in Benjamin saw the Philistine army melting away, scattering in all directions.
Masu gadin Shawulu a Gebiya da take a Benyamin suka duba sai ga rundunar Filistiyawa a warwatsewa ko’ina.
17 Saul told the soldiers with him, “Do a roll-call and find out who isn't here with us.” When they did the roll-call, they discovered that Jonathan and his armor-bearer weren't there.
Sai Shawulu ya ce wa mutanen da suke tare da shi, “Ku ƙidaya mayaƙa ku ga wane ne ba ya nan.” Da suka ƙirga sai suka tarar Yonatan da mai ɗaukan makamansa ba sa nan.
18 Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring the Ark of God here.” (At the time the Ark of God traveled with the Israelites.)
Shawulu ya ce wa Ahiya, “Kawo akwatin alkawarin Allah.” (A lokacin akwatin alkawarin yana tare da Isra’ilawa.)
19 But as Saul was speaking to the priest, the commotion coming from the Philistine camp grew louder and louder. So Saul told the priest, “Forget it!”
Yayinda Shawulu yake magana da firist kuwa, harguwa ya yi ta ƙaruwa a sansanin Filistiyawa. Sai Shawulu ya ce wa firist, “Janye hannunka.”
20 Then Saul and all his army assembled and went into battle. They discovered the Philistines were in total disarray, attacking each other with swords.
Sa’an nan Shawulu da dukan mutanensa suka taru suka tafi yaƙi. Suka tarar Filistiyawa sun ruɗe suna yaƙi da juna da takubansu.
21 The Hebrews who had previously sided with the Philistines, and who were with them in their camp, switched sides and joined the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Ibraniyawan da suke tare da Filistiyawa a dā, waɗanda suka bi Filistiyawan zuwa sansanin yaƙinsu, suka juya, suka goyi bayan Shawulu da Yonatan sa’ad da yaƙin ya taso.
22 When all the Israelites who had been hiding in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines were running away, they also joined in chasing after the Philistines to attack them.
Sa’ad da dukan Isra’ilawan da suka ɓuya a duwatsu a ƙasar Efraim suka ji labari cewa Filistiyawa suna gudu, sai suka fito suka fafare su.
23 On that day the Lord saved Israel, and the battle extended past Beth-aven.
Haka Ubangiji ya kuɓutar da Isra’ila a wannan rana. Yaƙin kuwa ya ci gaba har gaba da Bet-Awen.
24 It was difficult for the men of Israel that day because Saul had ordered the army to take an oath, saying, “Cursed is anyone who eats anything before evening, before I have avenged myself on my enemies.” So no one in the army had eaten anything.
A wannan rana, Isra’ilawa suka sha wahala ƙwarai domin Shawulu ya sa mutane suka yi rantsuwa cewa, “La’ananne ne mutumin da ya ci abinci kafin fāɗuwar rana, kafin in ɗauki fansa a kan abokan gābana.” Don haka ba mutumin da ya ɗanɗana abinci.
25 When they all entered the forest they found honeycomb on the ground.
Dukan rundunar ta shiga kurmi, sai ga zuma a ƙasa.
26 While they were in the forest they saw the honey running out, but no one picked it up to eat it because they were all afraid of the oath they had taken.
Da suka shiga ciki kurmin, suka ga zuma tana zubowa, duk da haka ba wanda ya sa yatsansa ya lasa saboda tsoron rantsuwar da suka yi.
27 But Jonathan hadn't heard that his father had ordered the army to take this oath. So he stuck the end of his stick into the honeycomb, picked up a piece to eat, and he felt much better.
Yonatan bai san cewa mahaifinsa ya sa mutane suka yi rantsuwa ba. Sai ya sa gindin sandan da yake hannunsa a saƙar zuma, ya kai bakinsa. Nan da nan sai ya ji ƙarfin jiki ya zo masa.
28 But one of the soldiers told him, “Your father made the army take a solemn oath, saying, ‘Cursed is anyone who eats anything today!’ That is why the men are exhausted.”
Sai wani soja ya gaya masa cewa, “Mahaifinka ya sa kowa ya yi rantsuwa cewa, ‘La’ananne ne mutumin da ya ci abinci kafin fāɗuwar rana!’ Shi ya sa duk sojojin ba su da ƙarfi.”
29 “My father has caused a whole lot of trouble for everyone,” Jonathan replied. “See how well I am because I've eaten a little of this honey.
Yonatan ya ce, “Mahaifina ya jefa ƙasar cikin matsala. Duba yadda na ji ƙarfin jiki sa’ad da na ɗanɗana wannan’yar zuma mana.
30 It would have been so much better if only the army had eaten plenty today from the plunder taken from their enemies! How many more Philistines would have been killed?”
Da yaya zai kasance ke nan da a ce an bar sojoji suka ci abincin da suka ƙwace daga abokan gābansu? Ai, da gawawwakin Filistiyawan da aka kashe sun fi haka.”
31 After defeating the Philistines that day, killing them from Michmash to Aijalon, the Israelites were totally exhausted.
A ranan nan Isra’ilawa suka yi ta kashe Filistiyawa daga Mikmash har zuwa Aiyalon. Bayan haka gajiya ta kama su sosai saboda yunwa.
32 They grabbed the plunder, taking sheep, cattle, and calves, and slaughtered them right there on the ground. But they ate them with the blood.
Sai suka yi warwason ganima, suka kwashe tumaki, da shanu, da maruƙa, suka yayyanka su, suka ci naman ɗanye.
33 Saul was told, “Look, the men are sinning against the Lord by eating meat with the blood.” “Law-breakers!” said Saul. “Roll a large stone over here right now!”
Sai wani mutum ya ce wa Shawulu, “Duba, ga mutane suna zunubi ga Ubangiji, suna cin nama da jini.” Shawulu ya ce, “Kun ci amana. Ku mirgino babban dutse zuwa wurina nan da nan.”
34 Then he said, “Go around the soldiers and tell them, ‘Every man must bring me his cattle or his sheep and slaughter them here, and then eat. Don't sin against the Lord by eating meat with the blood.’” Everyone in the army brought what he had and slaughtered it there that night.
Sa’an nan ya ce, “Ku tafi ku faɗa wa jama’a duka, su kawo shanu da tumaki a nan, su yayyanka, su ci a nan, don kada su yi wa Ubangiji zunubi da cin nama ɗanye.” Haka nan kowa ya kawo saniyarsa a daren, ya yanka a can.
35 So Saul built an altar to the Lord. This was the first altar he had built to the Lord.
Sa’an nan Shawulu ya gina wa Ubangiji bagade. Wannan ne bagade na farkon da ya gina.
36 Saul said, “Let's go and chase down the Philistines during night and plunder them till dawn, leaving no survivors.” “Do what you think best,” they replied. But the priest said, “Let's ask God first.”
Shawulu ya ce, “Mu bi gangara mu fafare Filistiyawa da dare mu washe su har gari yă waye, mu kuma karkashe kowannensu, kada mu bar wani da rai.” Suka ce, “Ka yi duk abin da ka ga ya fi maka kyau.” Amma firist ya ce, “Bari mu nemi nufin Allah tukuna.”
37 Saul asked God, “Shall I go down and chase down the Philistines? Will you hand them over to Israel?” But that day God didn't answer him.
Saboda haka Shawulu ya tambayi Allah ya ce, “Mu bi bayan Filistiyawa? Za ka bashe su a hannun Isra’ila?” Amma Allah bai ba shi amsa a ranar ba.
38 So Saul gave the order, “All you army commanders, come here so we can investigate what sin has happened today.
Saboda haka Shawulu ya ce, “Ku zo nan dukanku shugabannin rundunoni, mu bincika mu san zunubin da ya kawo rashin amsan nan yau.
39 I swear on the life of the Lord who saves Israel, that even if it's my son Jonathan, he will have to die!” But no one of the whole army said anything.
Muddin Ubangiji wanda ya ceci Isra’ila yana raye, ko da ɗana Yonatan ne ya yi zunubin, dole yă mutu.” Amma ba ko ɗaya daga cikinsu da ya ce uffam.
40 Saul told them all, “You stand over to one side, and I and my son Jonathan will stand on the opposite side.” “Do what you think best,” the army replied.
Sai Shawulu ya ce wa dukan Isra’ilawa, “Ku tsaya a can, ni kuma da Yonatan ɗana mu tsaya a nan.” Mutanen suka ce, “Ka yi abin da ya fi maka kyau.”
41 Saul prayed to the Lord, the God of Israel, “Let the Thummin show.” Jonathan and Saul were identified, while everyone else was cleared.
Sa’an nan Shawulu ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, “Me ya sa ba ka amsa mini addu’ata a yau ba? Idan wannan laifina ne, ko kuwa na ɗana, Yonatan, ka nuna mana ta wurin Urim, amma idan laifin mutanen ne ka amsa ta wurin Tummim.” Ba a sami mutane da laifi ba, amma ƙuri’a ta fāɗa a kan Yonatan da Shawulu.
42 Then Saul said, “Cast lots between me and my son Jonathan.” Jonathan was selected.
Shawulu ya ce, “Ku jefa ƙuri’a tsakanina da ɗana Yonatan.” Sai ƙuri’ar ta fāɗa a kan Yonatan.
43 “Tell me what you have done,” Saul asked Jonathan. “I just tasted a little honey with the end of my stick,” Jonathan told him. “Here I am, and I have to die.”
Sai Shawulu ya ce wa Yonatan, “Gaya mini mene ne ka yi.” Yonatan ya ce masa, “Na ɗanɗana zuma kaɗan daga gindin sandanta. Yanzu kuwa dole in mutu!”
44 Saul said, “May God punish me very severely if you do not die, Jonathan!”
Shawulu ya ce, “Bari hukunci mai tsanani na Allah yă kasance a kaina, in ba ka mutu ba, Yonatan.”
45 But the people told Saul, “Does Jonathan have to die, the one who achieved this great victory in Israel? Absolutely not! We swear on the life of the Lord, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground, for it was with God's help that he achieved this today.” The people saved Jonathan, and he didn't die.
Amma mutane suka ce wa Shawulu, “A ce Yonatan yă mutu bayan shi ya kawo babban nasara a Isra’ila? Faufau, muddin Ubangiji yana raye, ko gashin kansa ɗaya ba zai fāɗi a ƙasa ba, gama abin da ya yi yau, Allah ne yana tare da shi.” Ta haka mutane suka ceci Yonatan daga mutuwa.
46 Saul stopped chasing down the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own country.
Sai Shawulu ya daina bin Filistiyawa, suka koma ƙasarsu.
47 After Saul had made his hold over Israel secure, he fought against all his enemies all around: Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. Whatever direction he went he defeated them all.
Bayan Shawulu ya hau karagar mulkin Isra’ila, ya yi yaƙi da abokan gābansu ta kowane gefe. Mowabawa, Ammonawa, mutanen Edom, sarakunan Zoba, da kuma Filistiyawa. Duk wurin da ya juya, ya hore su.
48 He fought bravely, conquering the Amalekites, saving Israel from those who plundered them.
Ya yi jaruntaka sosai, ya ci Amalekawa da yaƙi, ya kuma ceci Isra’ila daga hannuwan waɗanda suka ƙwace musu kaya.
49 Saul's sons were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua. The names of his two daughters were Merab, (the firstborn), and Michal, (the younger one).
’Ya’yan Shawulu maza su ne, Yonatan, Ishbi, da Malki-Shuwa. Sunan babban’yarsa ita ce Merab, ƙaramar kuma Mikal.
50 The name of his wife was Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of Saul's army commander was Abner, son of Ner, and Ner was Saul's uncle.
Sunan matarsa kuwa Ahinowam,’yar Ahimawaz. Sunan shugaban ƙungiyar sojan Shawulu kuwa Abner ne ɗan Ner, shi Ner kuwa ɗan’uwan mahaifin Shawulu ne.
51 Saul's father Kish and Abner's father Ner were sons of Abiel.
Mahaifin Shawulu, Kish da kuma Ner mahaifin Abner,’ya’yan Abiyel ne.
52 Throughout Saul's lifetime there was constant war with the Philistines. Saul recruited into his army every strong warrior and every brave fighter that he met.
Dukan kwanakin Shawulu sun kasance na yaƙe-yaƙe da Filistiyawa ne. Duk lokacin da Shawulu ya ga ƙaƙƙarfan mutum ko jarumi, sai yă ɗauke shi aikin sojansa.
