1 Samuel 13
1 Saul was ruling for less than a year, when he ruled during year two over Israel,
Shawulu yana da shekara talatin sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi sarautar Isra’ila shekara arba’in da biyu.
2 that Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the people he sent away, each to his own home.
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 Now Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was at Gibeah, and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, "Let the Hebrews hear."
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 All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become repulsive to the Philistines. So the people were called out to join Saul at Gilgal.
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 The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, and brought up against Israel three thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude: and they came up, and camped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.
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 When the men of Israel saw that they were in trouble (for the people were in a difficult situation), then the people hid themselves in caves and thickets, among the rocks, and in pits and cisterns.
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 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
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 stayed seven days, according to the time that Samuel had said. But Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and the people began to abandon 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 Saul said, "Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings." He offered the burnt offering.
Sai ya ce, “Ku kawo mini hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta salama.” Sai Shawulu ya miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa.
10 It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, look, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.
Daidai yana gama miƙa hadaya ke nan sai Sama’ila ya iso. Shawulu kuma ya fito domin yă yi masa maraba.
11 Samuel said, "What have you done?" Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;
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 therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven't entreated the favor of the LORD.' I forced myself therefore, and offered the 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 Samuel said to Saul, "You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which he commanded you; for now the LORD would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.
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 continue. The LORD has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and the LORD has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which 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 Gilgal, and the rest of the people went up after Saul to meet him after the men of war, when they had come up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present 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 Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines camped in Michmash.
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 The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;
Rundunar mayaƙa uku suka fito daga sansani Filistiyawa. Ɗaya ta nufi Ofra, zuwa ƙasar Shuwal.
18 and another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned toward the border that overlooks the valley of Zeboim.
Runduna guda kuma ta nufi Bet-Horon, ɗayan kuwa ta nufi iyakar da take fuskantar Kwarin Ziboyim wajen jeji.
19 Now there was no blacksmith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines had said, "Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears."
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 But all Israel would go down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, mattock, axe, and 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 the charge was one payim for the plowshares and for the mattocks, and three shekels for picks and axes and to set the goads.
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 So on the day of the battle of Michmash there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan; but Saul and his son Jonathan had them.
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 The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
Ana nan sai sojojin Filistiyawa suka fita zuwa mashigin Mikmash.
