Kings I 13
1 And Saul chooses for himself three thousand men of the men of Israel: and there were with Saul two thousand who were in Machmas, and in mount Baethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gabaa of Benjamin: and he sent the rest of the people every man to his tent.
Shawulu yana da shekara talatin sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi sarautar Isra’ila shekara arba’in da biyu.
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 struck Nasib the Philistine that lived in the hill; and the Philistines hear of it, and Saul sounds the trumpet through all the land, saying, The servants have despised [us].
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 struck Nasib the Philistine; now Israel had been put to shame before the Philistines; and the children of Israel went up after Saul in Galgala.
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 gather together to war with Israel; and then come up against Israel thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand by the seashore for multitude: and they come up, and encamp in Machmas, opposite Baethoron southward.
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 so that they could not draw near, and the people hid themselves in caves, and sheepfolds, and rocks, and ditches, and 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 they that went over went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Galaad: and Saul was yet in Galgala, and all the people followed after him in amazement.
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 continued seven days for the appointed testimony, as Samuel told him, and Samuel came not to Galgala, and his people were dispersed 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 [victims], that I may offer whole burnt offerings and peace-offerings: and he offered the whole 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 when he had finished offering the whole burnt offering, that Samuel arrived, and Saul went out to meet him, [and] to bless 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 have you done? and Saul said, Because I saw how the people were scattered from me, and you was not present as you purposed according to the set time of the days, and the Philistines were gathered to Machmas.
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 Then I said, Now will the Philistines come down to me to Galgala, and I have not sought the face of the Lord: so I forced myself and offered the whole 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, You have done foolishly; for you have not kept my command, which the Lord commanded you, as now the Lord would have confirmed your 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 your kingdom shall not stand to you, and the Lord shall seek for himself a man after his own heart; and the Lord shall appoint him to be a ruler over his people, because you have not kept all that the Lord commanded you.
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 departed from Galgala, and the remnant of the people went after Saul to meet [him] after the men of war, when they had come out of Galgala to Gabaa 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, halted in Gabaa, of Benjamin; and they wept: and the Philistines had encamped in Machmas.
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 men came forth to destroy out of the land of the Philistines in three companies; one company turning by the way of Gophera toward the land of Sogal,
Rundunar mayaƙa uku suka fito daga sansani Filistiyawa. Ɗaya ta nufi Ofra, zuwa ƙasar Shuwal.
18 and another company turning the way of Baethoron, and another company turning by the way of Gabae that turns aside to Gai of Sabim.
Runduna guda kuma ta nufi Bet-Horon, ɗayan kuwa ta nufi iyakar da take fuskantar Kwarin Ziboyim wajen jeji.
19 And there was not found a smith in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make themselves sword or spear.
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 Land of the Philistines to forge every one his reaping-hook and his tool, and every one his axe and his sickle.
Saboda haka dukan Isra’ila sukan gangara zuwa wajen Filistiyawa domin su gyara bakin garemaninsu, da fartanansu, da gaturansu, da kuma laujunansu.
21 And it was near the time of vintage: and their tools were [valued at] three shekels for a plowshare, and there was the same rate for the axe and the sickle.
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 days of the war of Machmas, that there was not a sword or spear found in the hand of all the people, that were with Saul and Jonathan; but with Saul and Jonathan his son was there 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 there went out some from the camp of the Philistines to the place beyond Machmas.
Ana nan sai sojojin Filistiyawa suka fita zuwa mashigin Mikmash.
