< 1 Samuel 11 >

1 After about a month, Nahash the Ammonite came up and camped against Jabesh Gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you."
Nahash mutumin Ammon ya haura ya kewaye Yabesh Gileyad da yaƙi. Dukan mutanen Yabesh suka ce masa, “Ka ƙulla amana da mu, mu kuwa za mu bauta maka.”
2 And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, "On this condition I will make a covenant with you, that all your right eyes are put out; and I will make it a disgrace on all Israel."
Amma Nahash ya ce, “Zan ƙulla amana da ku kawai a kan sharaɗin cewa zan ƙwaƙulo idon dama na kowannenku, ta haka za a kunyata Isra’ila.”
3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you."
Dattawan Yabesh suka ce masa, “Ka ba mu kwana bakwai don mu aika manzanni a dukan ƙasar Isra’ila idan ba mu sami wanda zai cece mu ba, za mu ba da kanmu gare ka.”
4 Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Da manzannin suka zo Gibeya garin Shawulu, suka gaya wa mutane wannan sharaɗin, suka yi kuka mai zafi.
5 Look, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, "What ails the people that they weep?" They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
A daidai wannan lokacin kuwa Shawulu yana dawowa daga gona tare da shanunsa na noma, sai ya ce, “Me ya faru, mutane suna kuka haka?” Sai suka faɗa masa abin da mutanen Yabesh suka faɗa musu.
6 The Spirit of God came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
Da Shawulu ya ji, sa Ruhun Allah ya sauko a kansa da iko, ya husata ƙwarai.
7 He took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, "Whoever doesn't come forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen." The dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
Ya ɗauki shanu biyu, ya yayyanka su gunduwa-gunduwa, ya aika da su ko’ina a ƙasar Isra’ila ta wurin manzanni cewa, “Duk wanda bai fita ya bi Shawulu da Sama’ila ba, haka za a yi da shanunsa.” Mutanen suka ji tsoron Ubangiji suka fita gaba ɗaya kamar mutum guda.
8 He numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
Mutanen Isra’ila sun kai dubu ɗari uku. Mutanen Yahuda kuma dubu talatin, sa’ad da Shawulu ya tara su a Bezek.
9 And he said to the messengers who came, "Thus you shall tell the men of Jabesh, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance.'" The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
Suka ce wa’yan aikan da suka zo, “Ku faɗa wa mutanen Yabesh Gileyad, ‘Gobe, kafin rana tă yi zafi, za ku sami ceto.’” Sa’ad da’yan aikan suka tafi, suka ba da saƙon nan ga mutanen Yabesh, sai suka farin ciki.
10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, "Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you."
Suka ce wa Ammonawa, “Gobe za mu miƙa wuya gare ku, ku kuma yi duk abin da kuka ga dama.”
11 It was so on the next day, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it happened, that those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
Gari yana wayewa, sai Shawulu ya raba mutane kashi uku, a sa’a ta ƙarshe na daren sai suka fāɗa wa sansanin Ammonawa, suka kuma karkashe su har lokacin da rana ta yi zafi. Waɗanda suka kuɓuce kuwa suka warwatsu, har babu biyunsu da aka bari tare.
12 And the people said to Samuel, "Who is it that said Saul should not reign over us? Bring those men so we may put them to death."
Sai mutane suka ce wa Sama’ila, “Su wa suka ce, ‘Shawulu zai yi mulkinmu?’ A kawo mana su mu kashe.”
13 Saul said, "There shall not a man be put to death this day; for today the LORD has worked deliverance in Israel."
Shawulu ya ce, “Ba wanda zai mutu yau, gama Ubangiji ya kuɓutar da Isra’ila a wannan rana.”
14 Then Samuel said to the people, "Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there."
Sai Sama’ila ya ce wa mutane, “Ku zo mu tafi Gilgal, a can za a yi wankan sarauta.”
15 All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
Don haka dukan mutane suka tafi Gilgal, suka tabbatar da Shawulu sarki a gaban Ubangiji. A can suka miƙa hadaya ta salama a gaban Ubangiji, Shawulu kuwa da dukan Isra’ila suka yi babban liyafa.
