1 Samuel 8
1 And it cometh to pass, when Samuel [is] aged, that he maketh his sons judges over Israel.
Da Sama’ila ya tsufa, sai ya naɗa’ya’yansa maza su zama alƙalan Isra’ila.
2 And the name of his first-born son is Joel, and the name of his second Abiah, judges in Beer-Sheba:
Sunan ɗansa na fari Yowel, na biyu kuwa Abiya. Suka yi alƙalanci a Beyersheba.
3 and his sons have not walked in his ways, and turn aside after the dishonest gain, and take a bribe, and turn aside judgment.
Amma’ya’yansa ba su bi hanyar mahaifinsu ba. Suka mai da hankalinsu ga neman kuɗi da cin hanci, suna kuma danne gaskiya.
4 And all the elders of Israel gather themselves together, and come in unto Samuel to Ramath,
Sai dukan shugabannin Isra’ila suka taru suka zo wurin Sama’ila a Rama.
5 and say unto him, 'Lo, thou hast become aged, and thy sons have not walked in thy ways; now, appoint to us a king, to judge us, like all the nations.'
Suka ce masa, “Ka tsufa,’ya’yanka kuma ba sa bin hanyarka, saboda haka sai ka naɗa sarkin da zai bi da mu kamar yadda sauran ƙasashe suke da su.”
6 And the thing is evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they have said, 'Give to us a king to judge us;' and Samuel prayeth unto Jehovah.
Amma Sama’ila bai ji daɗi sa’ad da suka ce, “Ka ba mu sarki da zai bi da mu.” Sai ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji.
7 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Hearken to the voice of the people, to all that they say unto thee, for thee they have not rejected, but Me they have rejected, from reigning over them.
Ubangiji kuwa ya ce masa, “Ka saurari dukan maganganun da mutanen suke gaya maka. Ai, ba kai ba ne suka ƙi, ni ne suka ƙi in zama sarkinsu.
8 According to all the works that they have done from the day of My bringing them up out of Egypt, even unto this day, when they forsake Me, and serve other gods — so they are doing also to thee.
Haka suka yi daga tun daga ranar da na fitar da su daga Masar har zuwa yau, suka ƙi ni, suka bauta wa waɗansu alloli, haka ma suke yi maka.
9 And now, hearken to their voice; only, surely thou dost certainly protest to them, and hast declared to them the custom of the king who doth reign over them.'
Yanzu ka saurare su amma ka yi musu kashedi sosai, ka sa su san abin da sarkin da zai bi da su zai yi.”
10 And Samuel speaketh all the words of Jehovah unto the people who are asking from him a king,
Sama’ila kuwa ya ce wa mutanen da suke roƙo yă naɗa musu sarki dukan abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa.
11 and saith, 'This is the custom of the king who doth reign over you: Your sons he doth take, and hath appointed for himself among his chariots, and among his horsemen, and they have run before his chariots;
Ya ce musu, “Ga abin da sarkin da zai yi mulkinku zai yi. Zai kwashe’ya’yanku yă sa su yi aiki da kekunan yaƙi da dawakansa, waɗansu za su riƙa gudu a gaban keken yaƙinsa.
12 also to appoint for himself heads of thousands, and heads of fifties; also to plow his plowing, and to reap his reaping; and to make instruments of his war, and instruments of his charioteer.
Zai sa waɗansu su zama shugabannin mutum dubu-dubu da kuma na hamsin-hamsin. Waɗansu za su yi masa noma da girbi. Waɗansu za su ƙera masa makaman yaƙi da kayayyaki don keken yaƙinsa.
13 'And your daughters he doth take for perfumers, and for cooks, and for bakers;
Zai sa’ya’yanku mata yin aikin turare da dafe-dafe da kuma toye-toye.
14 and your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive-yards — the best — he doth take, and hath given to his servants.
Zai karɓi gonakinku mafi kyau da gonakin inabinku da gonakin zaitunku yă ba wa ma’aikatansa.
15 And your seed and your vineyards he doth tithe, and hath given to his eunuchs, and to his servants.
Zai kuma karɓi zakan hatsinku da na inabinku yă ba shugabannin fadarsa da sauran masu hidimarsa.
16 And your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your young men — the best, and your asses, he doth take, and hath prepared for his own work;
Zai ƙwace bayinku maza da mata, da shanunku, da jakunanku mafi kyau domin su yi masa aiki.
17 your flock he doth tithe, and ye are to him for servants.
Zai karɓi zakan dabbobinku, ku kanku za ku zama bayinsa.
18 And ye have cried out in that day because of the king whom ye have chosen for yourselves, and Jehovah doth not answer you in that day.'
Sa’ad da ranar ta zo, za ku yi kuka ku nemi a fishe ku daga sarkin da kuka zaɓa, Ubangiji kuwa ba zai ji ku ba.”
19 And the people refuse to hearken to the voice of Samuel, and say, 'Nay, but a king is over us,
Amma mutanen suka ƙi jin Sama’ila, sai suka ce, “A’a, mu dai, muna son sarki yă bi da mu.”
20 and we have been, even we, like all the nations; and our king hath judged us, and gone out before us, and fought our battles.'
Ta haka za mu zama kamar sauran ƙasashe, mu kasance da sarkin da zai bi da mu, yă tafi tare da mu zuwa yaƙe-yaƙe.
21 And Samuel heareth all the words of the people, and speaketh them in the ears of Jehovah;
Da Sama’ila ya ji duk maganganun da mutanen suka faɗa, sai ya mayar wa Ubangiji.
22 and Jehovah saith unto Samuel, 'Hearken to their voice, and thou hast caused to reign over them a king.' And Samuel saith unto the men of Israel, 'Go ye each to his city.'
Ubangiji kuwa ya ce, “Ka saurare su, ka naɗa masu sarki.” Sa’an nan Sama’ila ya ce wa mutanen Isra’ila, “Kowa yă koma garinsa.”
