< 1 Samuel 14 >
1 Now it happened on a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the Philistines’ garrison that is on the other side.” But he didn’t tell his father.
Wata rana Yonatan ɗan Shawulu ya ce wa saurayin da yake ɗaukar masa makamai, “Zo mu tafi wajen sansanin Filistiyawa a wancan hayi.” Amma bai gaya wa mahaifinsa ba.
2 Saul stayed in the uttermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron; and the people who were with him were about six hundred men,
Shawulu kuwa na zaune a gindin itacen rumman a bayan garin Gibeya a Migron. Tare da shi akwai mutum wajen ɗari shida.
3 including Ahijah the son of Ahitub, Ichabod’s brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli the priest of the LORD in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. The people didn’t know that Jonathan was gone.
A cikinsu akwai Ahiya sanye da efod. Shi yaron Ikabod ɗan’uwan Ahitub ne, ɗan Finehas, ɗan Eli, firist na Ubangiji a Shilo. Ba wanda ya san cewa Yonatan ya tafi wani wuri.
4 Between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side and a rocky crag on the other side; and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
A kowane gefe na mashigin da Yonatan ya so yă bi zuwa wurin Filistiyawa, akwai hawa mai tsawo, ana kira ɗaya Bozez, ɗayan kuma ana kira Senet.
5 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
Hawan da yake arewa yana fuskantar Mikmash, wanda yake kudu kuma yana fuskantar Geba.
6 Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come! Let’s go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that the LORD will work for us, for there is no restraint on the LORD to save by many or by few.”
Yonatan ya ce wa saurayin mai ɗaukan makamai, “Zo mu haye zuwa mashigin mutane marasa kaciyan nan, wataƙila Ubangiji zai yi aiki a madadinmu. Ba abin da zai iya hana Ubangiji yin aikin ceto ta wurin mutane masu yawa, ko ta wurin mutane kaɗan.”
7 His armor bearer said to him, “Do all that is in your heart. Go, and behold, I am with you according to your heart.”
Mai ɗaukan makaman ya ce, “Ka yi duk abin da yake zuciyarka. Ci gaba, ina tare da kai gaba da baya.”
8 Then Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will reveal ourselves to them.
Yonatan ya ce, “To, zo mu haye zuwa wajen mutanen, mu sa su gan mu.
9 If they say this to us, ‘Wait until we come to you!’ then we will stand still in our place and will not go up to them.
In suka ce mana, ‘Ku tsaya nan har mu zo wurinku,’ za mu dakata inda muke, ba za mu haura wajensu ba.
10 But if they say this, ‘Come up to us!’ then we will go up, for the LORD has delivered them into our hand. This shall be the sign to us.”
Amma in suka ce mana, ‘Ku haura wurinmu,’ to, sai mu haura, wannan zai zama mana alama cewa Ubangiji ya bashe su a hannunmu.”
11 Both of them revealed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines; and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they had hidden themselves!”
Sai suka nuna kansu a sansanin Filistiyawa. Sai Filistiyawa suka ce, “Ku duba ga Ibraniyawa suna fitowa daga cikin ramummuka inda suka ɓuya.”
12 The men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you something!” Jonathan said to his armor bearer, “Come up after me, for the LORD has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
Mutanen da suke sansanin suka kira Yonatan da mai ɗaukan makamansa da babbar murya suka ce, “Ku hauro wajenmu, mu kuwa za mu koya muku hankali.” Sai Yonatan ya ce wa mai ɗaukan makamansa, “Biyo ni, gama Ubangiji ya bashe su a hannun Isra’ila.”
13 Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and his armor bearer after him, and they fell before Jonathan; and his armor bearer killed them after him.
Sai Yonatan ya hau dutsen da rarrafe, mai ɗaukan makamansa kuwa yana biye. Yonatan ya yi ta fyaɗa Filistiyawa da ƙasa, mai ɗaukan makamansa kuma ya yi ta karkashe su.
14 That first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow’s length in an acre of land.
A wannan karo na farko Yonatan da mai ɗaukan makamansa suka kashe mutum wajen ashirin a wani fili mai fāɗi rabin kadada.
15 There was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people; the garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
Sai tsoro ya kama dukan sojojin Filistiyawa, waɗanda suke cikin sansanin da waɗanda suke fili, har da waɗanda suke waje, da kuma waɗanda suke kai hari, ƙasa ta girgiza. Allah ne ya kawo wannan rikicewa.
16 The watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and behold, the multitude melted away and scattered.
Masu gadin Shawulu a Gebiya da take a Benyamin suka duba sai ga rundunar Filistiyawa a warwatsewa ko’ina.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, “Count now, and see who is missing from us.” When they had counted, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
Sai Shawulu ya ce wa mutanen da suke tare da shi, “Ku ƙidaya mayaƙa ku ga wane ne ba ya nan.” Da suka ƙirga sai suka tarar Yonatan da mai ɗaukan makamansa ba sa nan.
18 Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring God’s ark here.” For God’s ark was with the children of Israel at that time.
Shawulu ya ce wa Ahiya, “Kawo akwatin alkawarin Allah.” (A lokacin akwatin alkawarin yana tare da Isra’ilawa.)
19 While Saul talked to the priest, the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased; and Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”
Yayinda Shawulu yake magana da firist kuwa, harguwa ya yi ta ƙaruwa a sansanin Filistiyawa. Sai Shawulu ya ce wa firist, “Janye hannunka.”
20 Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle; and behold, they were all striking each other with their swords in very great confusion.
Sa’an nan Shawulu da dukan mutanensa suka taru suka tafi yaƙi. Suka tarar Filistiyawa sun ruɗe suna yaƙi da juna da takubansu.
21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines before and who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Ibraniyawan da suke tare da Filistiyawa a dā, waɗanda suka bi Filistiyawan zuwa sansanin yaƙinsu, suka juya, suka goyi bayan Shawulu da Yonatan sa’ad da yaƙin ya taso.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
Sa’ad da dukan Isra’ilawan da suka ɓuya a duwatsu a ƙasar Efraim suka ji labari cewa Filistiyawa suna gudu, sai suka fito suka fafare su.
23 So the LORD saved Israel that day; and the battle passed over by Beth Aven.
Haka Ubangiji ya kuɓutar da Isra’ila a wannan rana. Yaƙin kuwa ya ci gaba har gaba da Bet-Awen.
24 The men of Israel were distressed that day; for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats any food until it is evening, and I am avenged of my enemies.” So none of the people tasted food.
A wannan rana, Isra’ilawa suka sha wahala ƙwarai domin Shawulu ya sa mutane suka yi rantsuwa cewa, “La’ananne ne mutumin da ya ci abinci kafin fāɗuwar rana, kafin in ɗauki fansa a kan abokan gābana.” Don haka ba mutumin da ya ɗanɗana abinci.
25 All the people came into the forest; and there was honey on the ground.
Dukan rundunar ta shiga kurmi, sai ga zuma a ƙasa.
26 When the people had come to the forest, behold, honey was dripping, but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
Da suka shiga ciki kurmin, suka ga zuma tana zubowa, duk da haka ba wanda ya sa yatsansa ya lasa saboda tsoron rantsuwar da suka yi.
27 But Jonathan didn’t hear when his father commanded the people with the oath. Therefore he put out the end of the rod that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.
Yonatan bai san cewa mahaifinsa ya sa mutane suka yi rantsuwa ba. Sai ya sa gindin sandan da yake hannunsa a saƙar zuma, ya kai bakinsa. Nan da nan sai ya ji ƙarfin jiki ya zo masa.
28 Then one of the people answered, and said, “Your father directly commanded the people with an oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food today.’” So the people were faint.
Sai wani soja ya gaya masa cewa, “Mahaifinka ya sa kowa ya yi rantsuwa cewa, ‘La’ananne ne mutumin da ya ci abinci kafin fāɗuwar rana!’ Shi ya sa duk sojojin ba su da ƙarfi.”
29 Then Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Please look how my eyes have brightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
Yonatan ya ce, “Mahaifina ya jefa ƙasar cikin matsala. Duba yadda na ji ƙarfin jiki sa’ad da na ɗanɗana wannan’yar zuma mana.
30 How much more, if perhaps the people had eaten freely today of the plunder of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.”
Da yaya zai kasance ke nan da a ce an bar sojoji suka ci abincin da suka ƙwace daga abokan gābansu? Ai, da gawawwakin Filistiyawan da aka kashe sun fi haka.”
31 They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint;
A ranan nan Isra’ilawa suka yi ta kashe Filistiyawa daga Mikmash har zuwa Aiyalon. Bayan haka gajiya ta kama su sosai saboda yunwa.
32 and the people pounced on the plunder, and took sheep, cattle, and calves, and killed them on the ground; and the people ate them with the blood.
Sai suka yi warwason ganima, suka kwashe tumaki, da shanu, da maruƙa, suka yayyanka su, suka ci naman ɗanye.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD, in that they eat meat with the blood.” He said, “You have dealt treacherously. Roll a large stone to me today!”
Sai wani mutum ya ce wa Shawulu, “Duba, ga mutane suna zunubi ga Ubangiji, suna cin nama da jini.” Shawulu ya ce, “Kun ci amana. Ku mirgino babban dutse zuwa wurina nan da nan.”
34 Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people, and tell them, ‘Every man bring me here his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat; and don’t sin against the LORD in eating meat with the blood.’” All the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
Sa’an nan ya ce, “Ku tafi ku faɗa wa jama’a duka, su kawo shanu da tumaki a nan, su yayyanka, su ci a nan, don kada su yi wa Ubangiji zunubi da cin nama ɗanye.” Haka nan kowa ya kawo saniyarsa a daren, ya yanka a can.
35 Saul built an altar to the LORD. This was the first altar that he built to the LORD.
Sa’an nan Shawulu ya gina wa Ubangiji bagade. Wannan ne bagade na farkon da ya gina.
36 Saul said, “Let’s go down after the Philistines by night, and take plunder among them until the morning light. Let’s not leave a man of them.” They said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” Then the priest said, “Let’s draw near here to God.”
Shawulu ya ce, “Mu bi gangara mu fafare Filistiyawa da dare mu washe su har gari yă waye, mu kuma karkashe kowannensu, kada mu bar wani da rai.” Suka ce, “Ka yi duk abin da ka ga ya fi maka kyau.” Amma firist ya ce, “Bari mu nemi nufin Allah tukuna.”
37 Saul asked counsel of God: “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?” But he didn’t answer him that day.
Saboda haka Shawulu ya tambayi Allah ya ce, “Mu bi bayan Filistiyawa? Za ka bashe su a hannun Isra’ila?” Amma Allah bai ba shi amsa a ranar ba.
38 Saul said, “Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see in whom this sin has been today.
Saboda haka Shawulu ya ce, “Ku zo nan dukanku shugabannin rundunoni, mu bincika mu san zunubin da ya kawo rashin amsan nan yau.
39 For as the LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it is in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die.” But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
Muddin Ubangiji wanda ya ceci Isra’ila yana raye, ko da ɗana Yonatan ne ya yi zunubin, dole yă mutu.” Amma ba ko ɗaya daga cikinsu da ya ce uffam.
40 Then he said to all Israel, “You be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side.” The people said to Saul, “Do what seems good to you.”
Sai Shawulu ya ce wa dukan Isra’ilawa, “Ku tsaya a can, ni kuma da Yonatan ɗana mu tsaya a nan.” Mutanen suka ce, “Ka yi abin da ya fi maka kyau.”
41 Therefore Saul said to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Show the right.” Jonathan and Saul were chosen, but the people escaped.
Sa’an nan Shawulu ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, “Me ya sa ba ka amsa mini addu’ata a yau ba? Idan wannan laifina ne, ko kuwa na ɗana, Yonatan, ka nuna mana ta wurin Urim, amma idan laifin mutanen ne ka amsa ta wurin Tummim.” Ba a sami mutane da laifi ba, amma ƙuri’a ta fāɗa a kan Yonatan da Shawulu.
42 Saul said, “Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son.” Jonathan was selected.
Shawulu ya ce, “Ku jefa ƙuri’a tsakanina da ɗana Yonatan.” Sai ƙuri’ar ta fāɗa a kan Yonatan.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done!” Jonathan told him, and said, “I certainly did taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand; and behold, I must die.”
Sai Shawulu ya ce wa Yonatan, “Gaya mini mene ne ka yi.” Yonatan ya ce masa, “Na ɗanɗana zuma kaɗan daga gindin sandanta. Yanzu kuwa dole in mutu!”
44 Saul said, “God do so and more also; for you shall surely die, Jonathan.”
Shawulu ya ce, “Bari hukunci mai tsanani na Allah yă kasance a kaina, in ba ka mutu ba, Yonatan.”
45 The people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it! As the LORD lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has worked with God today!” So the people rescued Jonathan, so he didn’t die.
Amma mutane suka ce wa Shawulu, “A ce Yonatan yă mutu bayan shi ya kawo babban nasara a Isra’ila? Faufau, muddin Ubangiji yana raye, ko gashin kansa ɗaya ba zai fāɗi a ƙasa ba, gama abin da ya yi yau, Allah ne yana tare da shi.” Ta haka mutane suka ceci Yonatan daga mutuwa.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines; and the Philistines went to their own place.
Sai Shawulu ya daina bin Filistiyawa, suka koma ƙasarsu.
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side: against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned himself, he defeated them.
Bayan Shawulu ya hau karagar mulkin Isra’ila, ya yi yaƙi da abokan gābansu ta kowane gefe. Mowabawa, Ammonawa, mutanen Edom, sarakunan Zoba, da kuma Filistiyawa. Duk wurin da ya juya, ya hore su.
48 He did valiantly and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who plundered them.
Ya yi jaruntaka sosai, ya ci Amalekawa da yaƙi, ya kuma ceci Isra’ila daga hannuwan waɗanda suka ƙwace musu kaya.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, Ishvi, and Malchishua; and the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
’Ya’yan Shawulu maza su ne, Yonatan, Ishbi, da Malki-Shuwa. Sunan babban’yarsa ita ce Merab, ƙaramar kuma Mikal.
50 The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. The name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.
Sunan matarsa kuwa Ahinowam,’yar Ahimawaz. Sunan shugaban ƙungiyar sojan Shawulu kuwa Abner ne ɗan Ner, shi Ner kuwa ɗan’uwan mahaifin Shawulu ne.
51 Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
Mahaifin Shawulu, Kish da kuma Ner mahaifin Abner,’ya’yan Abiyel ne.
52 There was severe war against the Philistines all the days of Saul; and when Saul saw any mighty man or any valiant man, he took him into his service.
Dukan kwanakin Shawulu sun kasance na yaƙe-yaƙe da Filistiyawa ne. Duk lokacin da Shawulu ya ga ƙaƙƙarfan mutum ko jarumi, sai yă ɗauke shi aikin sojansa.
