1 Samuel 7
1 The men of Kiriath Jearim came, took the ark of Yahweh, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill. They set apart his son Eleazar to keep the ark of Yahweh.
Mutanen Kiriyat Yeyarim suka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji. Suka kai a gidan Abinadab da ke kan tudu, suka keɓe Eleyazar ɗansa yă lura da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji.
2 From the day the ark remained in Kiriath Jearim, a long time passed, twenty years. All the house of Israel lamented and wished to turn to Yahweh.
Akwatin Alkawarin ya daɗe a Kiriyat Yeyarim ya kai shekara ashirin cif. Sai dukan mutanen Isra’ila suka yi makoki suka nemi Ubangiji.
3 Samuel said to the entire house of Israel, “If you return to Yahweh with your whole heart, remove the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths from among you, turn your hearts to Yahweh, and worship him only, then he will rescue you from the hand of the Philistines.”
Saboda haka Sama’ila ya yi magana da dukan gidan Isra’ila ya ce, in har da zuciya ɗaya kuke juyowa ga Ubangiji sai ku raba kanku da baƙin alloli da gunkin nan Ashtarot, ku ba da kanku ga Ubangiji. Ku yi masa bauta shi kaɗai, zai kuɓutar da ku daga hannun Filistiyawa.
4 Then the people of Israel removed the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and worshiped Yahweh only.
Sai Isra’ilawa suka rabu da gumakan Ba’al da Ashtarot suka bauta wa Ubangiji kaɗai.
5 Then Samuel said, “Bring together all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Yahweh for you.”
Sama’ila ya ce, “Ku tattara dukan Isra’ila a Mizfa, ni kuwa zan yi addu’a ga Ubangiji dominku.”
6 They gathered at Mizpah, drew water and poured it out before Yahweh. They fasted that day and said, “We have sinned against Yahweh.” It was there that Samuel decided disputes for the people of Israel and led the people.
Sa’ad da suka taru a Mizfa, suka kawo ruwa suka zuba a gaban Ubangiji. A wannan rana suka yi azumi suka tuba, suka ce, “Mun yi wa Ubangiji zunubi!” Sama’ila kuwa ya zauna a Mizfa ya yi mulkin Isra’ilawa.
7 Now when the Philistines heard the people of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the rulers of the Philistines attacked Israel. When the people of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
Da Filistiyawa suka ji cewa Isra’ila sun taru a Mizfa, sai shugabanninsu suka zo don su yaƙe Isra’ila. Da Isra’ilawa suka ji labarin, sai suka tsorata saboda Filistiyawa.
8 Then the people of Israel said to Samuel, “Do not stop calling out to Yahweh our God for us, so he will save us from the hand of the Philistines.”
Suka ce wa Sama’ila, “Kada ka fasa kai kukanmu ga Ubangiji Allahnmu saboda mu, don yă cece mu daga hannun Filistiyawa.”
9 Samuel took a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to Yahweh. Then Samuel cried out to Yahweh for Israel, and Yahweh answered him.
Sama’ila ya kama ɗan rago ya miƙa shi ɗungum hadaya ta ƙonawa ga Ubangiji. Ya yi roƙo ga Ubangiji a madadin Isra’ila, Ubangiji kuwa ya amsa addu’arsa.
10 As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines approached to attack Israel. But Yahweh thundered with a loud sound that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion, and they were routed before Israel.
Lokacin da Sama’ila yana miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa, Filistiyawa suka matso kusa don su yi yaƙi da Isra’ila. A ranar Ubangiji ya sa babban tsawa ya ruɗar da Filistiyawa har suka gudu a gaban Isra’ilawa.
11 The men of Israel went from Mizpah, and they pursued the Philistines and killed them as far as below Beth Kar.
Isra’ilawa suka fito a guje daga Mizfa suka fafari Filistiyawa suka yi ta karkashe su a hanya har kwarin Bet-Kar.
12 Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far Yahweh has helped us.”
Sa’an nan Sama’ila ya ɗauki dutse ya kafa tsakanin Mizfa da Shen, ya sa masa suna, Ebenezer ma’ana, “Har zuwa wannan lokaci Ubangiji ya taimake mu.”
13 So the Philistines were subdued and they did not enter the border of Israel. The hand of Yahweh was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Ta haka Isra’ilawa suka ci Filistiyawa. Daga ranan Filistiyawa ba su ƙara yin nasara a kan Isra’ila ba. Ubangiji ya yi gāba da Filistiyawa har ƙarshen zamanin Sama’ila.
14 The towns that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; Israel brought back their territory from the Philistines. Then there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
Filistiyawa suka mayar wa Isra’ila da garuruwan da suka ƙwato, wato, daga Ekron zuwa Gat, dukan yankin ƙasarsu da yake ƙarƙashin ikon Filistiyawa. Aka kuma sami zaman lafiya tsakanin Isra’ilawa da Amoriyawa.
15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
Sama’ila kuwa ya ci gaba da mulkin Isra’ila dukan rayuwarsa.
16 Each year he went on a circuit to Bethel, to Gilgal, and to Mizpah. He decided disputes for Israel in all these places.
Shekara-shekara Sama’ila yakan fita rangadi zuwa Betel, da Gilgal da Mizfa inda yakan yi musu shari’a.
17 Then he would return to Ramah, because his house was there; and there also he decided disputes for Israel. He also built an altar there to Yahweh.
Amma yakan komo Rama inda gidansa yake, a nan yakan yi wa Isra’ila shari’a. A nan ne kuma ya gina wa Ubangiji bagade.
