1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
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 answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon 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 And the elders of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers to all the land of Israel: and then, if there is no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
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 came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
Da manzannin suka zo Gibeya garin Shawulu, suka gaya wa mutane wannan sharaɗin, suka yi kuka mai zafi.
5 And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings 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 And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
Da Shawulu ya ji, sa Ruhun Allah ya sauko a kansa da iko, ya husata ƙwarai.
7 And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the land of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
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 And when he numbered them in Bezek, 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 they said to the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say to the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by the time the sun is hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and told it to 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, To morrow we will come out to you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good to you.
Suka ce wa Ammonawa, “Gobe za mu miƙa wuya gare ku, ku kuma yi duk abin da kuka ga dama.”
11 And it was so on the next morning, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they who remained were scattered, so that two of them were not 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 he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that 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 And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
Shawulu ya ce, “Ba wanda zai mutu yau, gama Ubangiji ya kuɓutar da Isra’ila a wannan rana.”
14 Then said Samuel 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 And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed 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.
