1 Samuel 8
1 And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he appointed his sons judges over Israel.
Da Sama’ila ya tsufa, sai ya naɗa’ya’yansa maza su zama alƙalan Isra’ila.
2 And the name of his first-born was Joel; and the name of his second Abiyah: they judged in Beer-sheba'.
Sunan ɗansa na fari Yowel, na biyu kuwa Abiya. Suka yi alƙalanci a Beyersheba.
3 But his sons walked not in his ways, and they inclined after their own advantage, and took bribes, and perverted justice.
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 did all the elders of Israel assemble themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
Sai dukan shugabannin Isra’ila suka taru suka zo wurin Sama’ila a Rama.
5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons have not walked in thy ways: now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations.
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 But the thing was displeasing in the eyes of Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto 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 unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they may say unto thee; for not thee have they rejected, but me have they rejected, 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 In accordance with all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even until this day, when they forsook me, and served other 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 And now hearken unto their voice: nevertheless thou must still solemnly forewarn them, and tell them the manner of the king that will 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 And Samuel said all the words of the Lord unto the people that had asked of him a king.
Sama’ila kuwa ya ce wa mutanen da suke roƙo yă naɗa musu sarki dukan abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa.
11 And he said, This will be the manner of the king that will reign over you: Your sons will he take, and appoint them for himself with his chariots, and among his horsemen; and they will have to run before his chariot;
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 to appoint for himself captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and to plough his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and the instruments of his 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 And your daughters will he take for ointment makers, and for cooks, and for bakers.
Zai sa’ya’yanku mata yin aikin turare da dafe-dafe da kuma toye-toye.
14 And your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards, yea the best, will he take, and give them to his servants.
Zai karɓi gonakinku mafi kyau da gonakin inabinku da gonakin zaitunku yă ba wa ma’aikatansa.
15 And of your seeds, and of your vineyards will he take the tenth, and give [the same] to his officers, and to his servants.
Zai kuma karɓi zakan hatsinku da na inabinku yă ba shugabannin fadarsa da sauran masu hidimarsa.
16 And your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your best young men, and your asses will he take, and employ [them] for his work.
Zai ƙwace bayinku maza da mata, da shanunku, da jakunanku mafi kyau domin su yi masa aiki.
17 Of your flocks will he take the tenth: and ye yourselves will become his servants.
Zai karɓi zakan dabbobinku, ku kanku za ku zama bayinsa.
18 And ye will cry out on that day because of your king whom ye will have chosen for yourselves, but the Lord will not answer you on that day.
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 Nevertheless the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No; but a king shall be over us;
Amma mutanen suka ƙi jin Sama’ila, sai suka ce, “A’a, mu dai, muna son sarki yă bi da mu.”
20 That we also may ourselves be like all the nations: and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
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 he spoke them before 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 unto their voice, and appoint them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto 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.”
