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.

Vakai naʻe ai ha tangata ʻo Lamateimi-Sofimi ʻoe moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, ko hono hingoa ko ʻElikena, ko e foha ʻo Seloami ko e foha ʻo Elihu, ko e foha ʻo Tohu: ko e foha ʻo Sufi, ko e tangata ʻEfalata:

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.

Pea naʻe toko ua hono uaifi; ko e hingoa ʻoe tokotaha ko ʻAna, pea ko Penina ʻae hingoa ʻoe tokotaha: pea naʻe ai ʻae fānau ʻa Penina, ka naʻe ʻikai ha fānau ʻa ʻAna.

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.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tangata ni mei heʻene kolo ki Sailo ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē ke lotu mo ʻatu ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau. Pea naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ongo foha ʻo Ilai, ko Hofini mo Finiasi ko e ongo taulaʻeiki ʻo Sihova.

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.

Pea ʻi he hoko ʻae ʻaho ke fai ʻae feilaulau ʻe ʻElikena, naʻa ne vahe kia Penina ko hono uaifi, mo ʻene ngaahi tama kotoa pē mo ʻene ngaahi taʻahine ʻa honau ʻinasi.

5 Amma Hannatu kuwa sai yă ba ta babban rabo gama yana ƙaunarta ko da yake Ubangiji ya kulle mahaifarta.

Ka naʻa ne ʻatu kia ʻAna ʻae vahe lahi he naʻe ʻofa ia kia ʻAna: ka kuo tāpuni hono manāva ʻe Sihova.

6 Saboda Ubangiji ya kulle mahaifarta, sai kishiyarta ta dinga tsokanarta don tă ba ta haushi.

Pea naʻe fakamamahi lahi ia ʻe hono fili, ke ne lāunga, ko e meʻa ʻi he tāpuni hono manāva ʻe Sihova.

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.

Pea ʻi heʻene fai pehē pe ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē, naʻa ne ʻalu hake ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea loto mamahi ai ia; ko ia naʻe tangi ai ia, pea naʻe ʻikai kai.

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?”

Pea pehē ai ʻe ʻElikena ko hono husepāniti kiate ia, “ʻAna ko e hā ʻoku ke tangi ai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai te ke kai? Pea ko e hā ʻoku mamahi ai ho loto? ʻIkai ʻoku ou lelei hake kiate koe ʻi he tama ʻe hongofulu?”

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.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa ʻAna hili ʻenau kai mo inu ʻi Sailo. Pea naʻe nofo ʻae taulaʻeiki ko Ilai ʻi he nofoʻa ofi ki he pou ʻi he fale ʻo Sihova.

10 A cikin baƙin ciki, Hannatu ta yi kuka mai zafi ta yi addu’a ga Ubangiji.

Pea naʻe mamahi lahi hono laumālie, ʻo ne lotu kia Sihova, pea tangi lahi.

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.”

Pea naʻe fai ʻe ia ʻae fuakava, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova ʻoe tokolahi, kapau ko e moʻoni te ke ʻafio mai ki he mamahi ʻa hoʻo kaunanga, ʻo manatuʻi au, ʻo ʻikai fakangaloʻi ʻa hoʻo kaunanga, ka ke foaki ki hoʻo kaunanga ʻae tama, pehē te u foaki ia kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻai ha tele ki hono ʻulu.”

12 Yayinda take addu’a ga Ubangiji, Eli ya lura da bakinta.

Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi heʻene lotu maʻu pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, naʻe vakai ʻe Ilai ʻa hono loungutu.

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.

Ka naʻe lea ʻa ʻAna ʻi hono loto pea naʻe ngaue hono loungutu ka naʻe ʻikai ongoʻi hono leʻo: ko ia naʻe mahalo ai ʻe Ilai kuo konā ia.

14 Sai ya ce mata, “Har yaushe za ki ci gaba da maye? Ki daina shan ruwan inabi.”

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Ilai kiate ia, “ʻE tuku ʻafē ʻa hoʻo konā? tukuange hoʻo uaine ʻiate koe.”

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.

Pea naʻe leaange ʻa ʻAna ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai, ʻE hoku ʻeiki, ka ko e fefine loto mamahi au: naʻe ʻikai te u inu uaine pe ha inu mālohi, ka kuo u lilingi hoku laumālie ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.

16 Kada ka yi zato baiwarka’yar iska ce. Ina addu’a a nan saboda yawan azaba da baƙin cikin da nake ciki.”

‌ʻOua naʻa ke ui hoʻo kaunanga ko e ʻofefine ʻoe kovi: he kuo u lea pe ʻi he lahi ʻo ʻeku feinga mo ʻeku mamahi.”

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.”

Pea naʻe lea ai ʻa Ilai ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu fiemālie pē: pea ʻofa ke tuku kiate koe ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻae kole ʻaia kuo ke kole kiate ia.”

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.

Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Tuku ke maʻu ʻe hoʻo kaunanga ʻae fiemālie ʻi ho ʻao.” Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae fefine ʻi hono hala, pea kai, pea naʻe ʻikai kei matapeko ia.

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.

Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi, ʻo lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ʻalu, ʻo hoko atu ki honau fale ʻi Lama: pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe ʻElikena ʻa hono uaifi; pea naʻe manatuʻi ia ʻe Sihova.

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.”

Pea hili ʻae ngaahi māhina ʻoe feitama ʻa ʻAna, pea pehē, naʻe fāʻeleʻi ʻe ia ʻae tama, ʻo ne ui hono hingoa ko Samuela, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku kole ia meia Sihova.”

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.

Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae tangata ko ʻElikena mo hono fale kotoa pē, ke ʻatu kia Sihova ʻae feilaulau ʻoe taʻu, mo ʻene fuakava.

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.”

Ka naʻe ʻikai ʻalu ʻa ʻAna; he naʻe pehē ʻe ia ki hono husepāniti, “ʻE ʻikai te u ʻalu kaeʻoua ke mavae ʻae tamasiʻi, pea u toki ʻave ia, koeʻuhi ke fakahā ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea ke nofomaʻu ai ia ʻo taʻengata.

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.

Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe hono husepāniti ko ʻElikena kiate ia, “Ke ke fai ʻaia ʻoku lelei kiate koe; tatali ke ʻoua ke ke mavae ia; kae kehe ke fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe Sihova ʻene folofola.” Ko ia naʻe nofo ai ʻae fefine ʻo fakahuhu ʻene tama, pea toki fakamavae ia.

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.

Pea hili ʻa hono fakamavae ia, naʻa ne ʻave ia, pea mo e fanga pulu ʻe tolu, mo e efa ʻe taha ʻoe mahoaʻa, mo e hina uaine ʻe taha, ʻo ʻomi ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova ʻi Sailo: pea naʻe kei siʻi ʻae tama.

25 Bayan an yanka bijimin, sai suka kawo yaron wurin Eli.

Pea naʻa na tāmateʻi ʻae pulu, pea ʻomi ʻae tamasiʻi kia Ilai.

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.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻE hoku ʻeiki, hangē ʻoku moʻoni ʻa hoʻo moʻui, ʻe hoku ʻeiki, ko au ko e fefine naʻe tuʻu ofi kiate koe ʻi heni, ʻo lotu kia Sihova.

27 Wannan yaron ne na roƙa daga wurin Ubangiji, ya kuwa ba ni abin da na roƙa daga gare shi.

Naʻaku kole ʻae tamasiʻi ni; pea kuo tuku mai ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻeku kole ʻaia ne u fai kiate ia:

28 Saboda haka, na ba da shi ga Ubangiji muddin ransa, zai zama na Ubangiji.” A can kuwa ya yi wa Ubangiji sujada.

Ko ia foki ʻoku ou toe ʻatu ia kia Sihova; ʻe tuku ia kia Sihova ʻi heʻene moʻui kotoa pē.” Pea naʻe lotu ia kia Sihova ʻi ai.
