1 Sama’ila 1
1 Akwai wani mutum daga Ramatayim, mutumin Zuf daga ƙasar tuddan Efraim, sunansa Elkana, ɗan Yeroham, shi jikan Elihu ɗan Tohu, tattaɓa kunnen Zuf, mutumin Efraim.
There was a man of Armathaim Sipha, of mount Ephraim, and his name [was] Helkana, a son of Jeremeel the son of Elias the son of Thoke, in Nasib Ephraim.
2 Yana da mata biyu, ɗaya sunanta Hannatu, ɗayan kuwa ana kiranta Feninna. Ita Feninna tana da’ya’ya, amma Hannatu ba ta da’ya’ya.
And he [had] two wives; the name of the one [was] Anna, and the name of the second Phennana. And Phennana had children, but Anna had no child.
3 Shekara-shekara wannan mutum yakan haura daga garinsa zuwa Shilo domin yin sujada da miƙa hadayu ga Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. A can kuwa’ya’yan Eli maza biyu, Hofni da Finehas su ne firistoci na Ubangiji.
And the man went up from year to year from his city, from Armathaim, to worship and sacrifice to the Lord God of Sabaoth at Selom: and [there were] Heli and his two sons Ophni and Phinees, the priests of the Lord.
4 Duk sa’ad da rana ta kewayo don Elkana yă miƙa hadaya, yakan ba da kashin nama ga matarsa Feninna da dukan’ya’yanta maza da mata.
And the day came, and Helkana sacrificed, and gave portions to his wife Phennana and her children.
5 Amma Hannatu kuwa sai yă ba ta babban rabo gama yana ƙaunarta ko da yake Ubangiji ya kulle mahaifarta.
And to Anna he gave a prime portion, because she had no child, only Helkana loved Anna more than the other; but the Lord [had] closed her womb.
6 Saboda Ubangiji ya kulle mahaifarta, sai kishiyarta ta dinga tsokanarta don tă ba ta haushi.
For the Lord gave her no child in her affliction, and according to the despondency of her affliction; and she was dispirited on this account, that the Lord shut up her womb so as not to give her a child.
7 Wannan ya ci gaba shekara da shekaru. Duk lokacin da Hannatu ta haura zuwa haikalin Ubangiji, sai kishiyarta tă tsokane ta har tă yi ta kuka tă kuma ƙi cin abinci.
So she did year by year, in going up to the house of the Lord; and she was dispirited, and wept, and did not eat.
8 Elkana mijinta kuwa yakan ce mata, “Hannatu don me kike kuka? Me ya sa ba za ki ci abinci ba? Don me kika karaya? Ashe, ban fi’ya’ya goma a gare ki ba?”
And Helkana her husband said to her, Anna: and she said to him, Here [am] I, my lord: and he said to her, What ails you that you weep? and why do you not eat? and why does your heart strike you? [am] I not better to you than ten children?
9 Wata rana sa’ad da suka gama ci da sha a Shilo, Hannatu ta miƙe tsaye. Eli firist kuwa yana zaune a kujera a bakin ƙofar haikalin Ubangiji.
And Anna rose up after they had eaten in Selom, and stood before the Lord: and Heli the priest [was] on a seat by the threshold of the temple of the Lord.
10 A cikin baƙin ciki, Hannatu ta yi kuka mai zafi ta yi addu’a ga Ubangiji.
And she [was] very much grieved in spirit, and prayed to the Lord, and wept abundantly.
11 Ta yi ta cewa, “Ya Ubangiji Maɗaukaki. In har ka dubi baƙin cikin baiwarka, ka tuna da ni, ba ka kuma manta da baiwarka ba, amma ka ba ta ɗa, ni ma zan miƙa shi ga Ubangiji dukan rayuwarsa, aska kuwa ba za tă taɓa kansa ba.”
And she vowed a vow to the Lord, saying, O Lord God of Sabaoth, if you welt indeed look upon the humiliation of your handmaid, and remember me, and give to your handmaid a boy, then will I indeed dedicate him to you till the day of his death; and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink, and no razor shall come upon his head.
12 Yayinda take addu’a ga Ubangiji, Eli ya lura da bakinta.
And it came to pass, while she was long praying before the Lord, that Heli the priest marked her mouth.
13 Hannatu tana addu’a a zuci, ba a jin muryarta, sai leɓunanta ne kawai suna motsi. Eli kuwa ya yi tsammani ta bugu ne.
And she was speaking in her heart, and her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: and Heli accounted her a drunken woman.
14 Sai ya ce mata, “Har yaushe za ki ci gaba da maye? Ki daina shan ruwan inabi.”
And the servant of Heli said to her, How long will you be drunken? take away your wine from you, and go out from the presence of the Lord.
15 Hannatu ta ce, “Ba haka ba ne, ranka yă daɗe, ni mace ce da take cikin matsala ƙwarai da gaske. Ban sha ruwan inabi ba, ko wani abu mai sa maye, ina dai faɗa wa Ubangiji abin da yake damuna ne.
And Anna answered and said, Nay, my lord, [I live] in a hard day, and I have not drunk wine or strong drink, and I pour out my soul before the Lord.
16 Kada ka yi zato baiwarka’yar iska ce. Ina addu’a a nan saboda yawan azaba da baƙin cikin da nake ciki.”
Count not your handmaid for a pestilent woman, for by reason of the abundance of my importunity I have continued [my prayer] until now.
17 Eli ya ce, “In haka ne, to, ki sauka lafiya, Allah na Isra’ila kuma yă ba ki abin da kika roƙa daga gare shi.”
And Heli answered and said to her, Go in peace: the God of Israel give you all your petition, which you have asked of him.
18 Ta ce, bari baiwarka tă sami tagomashi a idonka. Sai ta yi tafiyarta ta je ta ci wani abu, fuskarta kuwa ba tă ƙara kasance da baƙin ciki ba.
And she said, Your handmaid has found favor in your eyes: and the woman went her way, and entered into her lodging, and ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was no more sad.
19 Kashegari da sassafe suka tashi suka yi sujada a gaban Ubangiji, sai suka koma garinsu a Rama. Elkana kuwa ya kwana da matarsa Hannatu, Ubangiji kuma ya tuna da ita.
And they rise early in the morning, and worship the Lord, and they go their way: and Helkana went into his house at Armathaim, and knew his wife Anna; and the Lord remembered her, and she conceived.
20 Ana nan sai Hannatu ta yi ciki, ta kuma haifi ɗa. Ta ba shi suna Sama’ila; tana cewa, “Domin na roƙe shi daga wurin Ubangiji.”
And it came to pass when the time was come, that she brought forth a son, and called his name Samuel, and said, Because I asked him of the Lord God of Sabaoth.
21 Da shekara ta kewayo, sai Elkana da iyalinsa suka sāke tafi Shilo domin su yi hadaya ga Ubangiji, yă kuma cika alkawarin da ya yi.
And the man Helkana and all his house went up to offer in Selom the yearly sacrifice, and his vows, and all the tithes of his land.
22 Hannatu kuwa ba tă bi su ba. Ta gaya wa mijinta cewa, “Sai bayan na yaye yaron, zan kai shi in miƙa shi a gaban Ubangiji, yă kuma kasance a wurin koyaushe.”
But Anna did not go up with him, for she said to her husband, [I will not go up] until the child goes up, when I have weaned him, and he shall be presented before the Lord, and he shall abide there continually.
23 Elkana mijinta ya ce mata, “Ki yi abin da kika ga ya fi miki kyau. Ki jira har sai bayan kin yaye shi. Ubangiji dai ya cika maganarsa.” Saboda haka matar ta tsaya a gida, ta yi ta renon ɗanta har ta yaye shi.
And Helkana her husband said to her, Do that which is good in your eyes, abide still until you shall have weaned him; but may the Lord establish that which comes out of your mouth: and the woman tarried, and suckled her son until she had weaned him.
24 Bayan ta yaye shi, sai ta ɗauki yaron tare da bijimi bana uku, da mudun gari, da salkan ruwan inabi, ta kawo su a gidan Ubangiji a Shilo.
And she went up with him to Selom with a calf of three years old, and loaves, and an ephah of fine flour, and a bottle of wine: and she entered into the house of the Lord in Selom, and the child with them.
25 Bayan an yanka bijimin, sai suka kawo yaron wurin Eli.
And they brought him before the Lord; and his father killed his offering which he offered from year to year to the Lord; and he brought near the child, and killed the calf; and Anna the mother of the child brought him to Heli.
26 Sai ta ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, ba ka gane ni ba? Ai, ni ce matar da ta taɓa tsayawa a gabanka, tana addu’a ga Ubangiji.
And she said, I pray you, my lord, as your soul lives, I [am] the woman that stood in your presence with you while praying to the Lord.
27 Wannan yaron ne na roƙa daga wurin Ubangiji, ya kuwa ba ni abin da na roƙa daga gare shi.
For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of him.
28 Saboda haka, na ba da shi ga Ubangiji muddin ransa, zai zama na Ubangiji.” A can kuwa ya yi wa Ubangiji sujada.
And I lend him to the Lord all his days that he lives, a loan to the Lord: and she said,
