1 Sama’ila 10
1 Sai Sama’ila ya ɗauki’yar kwalabar mai, ya zuba man ɗin wa Shawulu a kansa, ya yi masa sumba yana cewa, “Ubangiji ya keɓe ka shugaba bisa gādonsa.
Then Samuel took a flask of oil, poured it on Saul’s head, kissed him, and said, “Has not the LORD anointed you ruler over His inheritance?
2 Sa’ad da ka rabu da ni yau, za ka sadu da mutum biyu kusa da kabarin Rahila a Zelza, a yankin Benyamin. Za su ce maka, ‘An sami jakunan da ka fita nema, yanzu haka mahaifinka ya bar damuwa kan jakunan ya koma damuwa a kanka, yana cewa, yaya zan gan ɗana?’
When you leave me today, you will find two men at Rachel’s tomb in Zelzah on the border of Benjamin. They will say to you, ‘The donkeys you seek have been found, and now your father has stopped worrying about the donkeys and started worrying about you, asking, “What should I do about my son?”’
3 “Sa’an nan za ka ci gaba daga nan sai ka kai wajen babban itace na Tabor. Waɗansu mutum uku za su sadu da kai a hanyarsu zuwa wurin yin wa Allah sujada a Betel. Ɗaya yana ɗauke da’yan awaki uku, ɗaya yana ɗauke da burodi uku, ɗayan kuma yana ɗauke da salkar ruwan inabi.
Then you will go on from there until you come to the Oak of Tabor. Three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you there, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a skin of wine.
4 Za su gaishe ka, su ba ka burodi biyu, kai kuwa sai ka karɓa.
They will greet you and give you two loaves of bread, which you will accept from their hands.
5 “Bayan wannan, za ka tafi Gebiya ta Allah, inda sansanin Filistiyawa yake. Kana shiga garin, za ka sadu da jerin gwanon annabawa suna gangarowa daga tudu, ana kaɗa garaya, ana bugan ganguna, ana hura sarewa, ana kuma bugan molo, a gabansu, su kuma za su yi ta annabci.
After that you will come to Gibeah of God, where the Philistines have an outpost. As you approach the city, you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place, preceded by harps, tambourines, flutes, and lyres, and they will be prophesying.
6 Ruhun Ubangiji zai sauko a kanka da iko, za ka kuma yi annabci tare da su. Za a canja ka ka zama dabam.
Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be transformed into a different person.
7 Da zarar waɗannan alamu sun cika, sai ka aikata duk abin da kana iya yi gama Allah yana tare da kai.
When these signs have come, do as the occasion demands, for God is with you.
8 “Ka sha gabana zuwa Gilgal. Lalle zan gangara wurinka domin in miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadayu na salama. Sai ka jira ni kwana bakwai sai na zo wurinka na kuma gaya maka abin da za ka yi.”
And you shall go before me to Gilgal, and surely I will come to you to offer burnt offerings and to sacrifice peace offerings. Wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you are to do.”
9 Da Shawulu ya juya zai bar Sama’ila, sai Allah ya canja wa Shawulu zuciya, alamun nan kuwa suka cika a ranar.
As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all the signs came to pass that day.
10 Da suka iso Gibeya, jerin gwanon annabawa suka sadu da shi Ruhun Allah kuma ya sauko a kansa da iko, sai ya shiga yin annabci tare da su.
When Saul and his servant arrived at Gibeah, a group of prophets met him. Then the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he prophesied along with them.
11 Sa’ad da dukan waɗanda suka san shi a dā suka gan shi yana annabci tare da annabawa, sai suka tambayi juna, suka ce, “Me ya faru da ɗan Kish? Shawulu ma yana cikin annabawa ne?”
All those who had formerly known Saul and saw him prophesying with the prophets asked one another, “What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
12 Wani mutumin da yake zama a can ya ce, “Wane ne kuma mahaifinsu?” Ta haka sai wannan ya zama karin magana cewa, “Shawulu ma yana cikin annabawa?”
Then a man who lived there replied, “And who is their father?” So the saying became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
13 Bayan da Shawulu ya gama annabci sai ya haura ya tafi tudu.
And when Saul had finished prophesying, he went up to the high place.
14 Sai ɗan’uwan mahaifin Shawulu ya tambaye shi da baransa ya ce, “Ina kuka je?” Shawulu ya ce, “Mun tafi neman jakuna, amma da ba mu same su ba sai muka tafi wurin Sama’ila.”
Now Saul’s uncle asked him and his servant, “Where did you go?” “To look for the donkeys,” Saul replied. “When we saw they were not to be found, we went to Samuel.”
15 Ɗan’uwan mahaifin Shawulu ya ce, “Faɗa mini abin da Sama’ila ya ce maka.”
“Tell me,” Saul’s uncle asked, “what did Samuel say to you?”
16 Shawulu ya ce, “Ya tabbatar mana cewa an riga an sami jakuna.” Amma bai gaya wa ɗan’uwan mahaifinsa abin da Sama’ila ya ce game da sarauta ba.
And Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found.” But Saul did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship.
17 Sama’ila ta tattara mutanen Isra’ila a gaban Ubangiji a Mizfa
After this, Samuel summoned the people to the LORD at Mizpah
18 ya ce musu, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ‘Na fito da Isra’ila daga Masar, na kuma cece ku daga hannun Masarawa da dukan mulkokin da suka wahalshe ku.’
and said to the Israelites, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I brought Israel up out of Egypt, and I rescued you from the hands of the Egyptians and of all the kingdoms that oppressed you.’
19 Amma yanzu kun ƙi Allahnku wanda ya cece ku daga dukan masifu da wahaloli. Kuka ce, ‘Sam, a naɗa mana sarki.’ Saboda haka yanzu sai ku zo gaban Ubangiji kabila-kabila da iyali-iyali.”
But today you have rejected your God, who saves you from all your troubles and afflictions, and you have said to Him, ‘No, set a king over us.’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and clans.”
20 Sa’ad da Sama’ila ya kawo dukan Isra’ila gaba, kabila-kabila, sai aka zaɓi kabilar Benyamin ta wurin jefa ƙuri’a.
Thus Samuel had all the tribes of Israel come forward, and the tribe of Benjamin was selected.
21 Sai ya kawo kabilar Benyamin gaba, iyali-iyali, aka zaɓi iyalin Matri. A ƙarshe aka zaɓi Shawulu ɗan Kish. Amma da aka neme shi sai ba a same shi ba.
Then he had the tribe of Benjamin come forward by its clans, and the clan of Matri was selected. Finally, Saul son of Kish was selected. But when they looked for him, they could not find him.
22 Suka ƙara nemi bayani daga Ubangiji suka ce, “Mutumin ya zo nan kuwa?” Ubangiji ya ce, “I, ga shi can, ya ɓuya cikin kayayyaki.”
So again they inquired of the LORD, “Has the man come here yet?” And the LORD replied, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the baggage.”
23 Suka ruga suka kawo shi. Da ya tsaya cikin mutane, sai ya fi kowa tsayi.
So they ran and brought Saul, and when he stood among the people, he was a head taller than any of the others.
24 Sama’ila ya ce wa dukan mutane, “Kun ga wanda Ubangiji ya zaɓa ko? Ba wani kamar sa a cikin dukan mutane.” Sai mutane suka tā da murya suka ce, “Ran sarki yă daɗe.”
Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one the LORD has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people.” And all the people shouted, “Long live the king!”
25 Sama’ila kuwa ya bayyana wa mutane ƙa’idodin sarauta. Ya rubuta su cikin littafi ya ajiye a gaban Ubangiji. Sa’an nan ya sallame mutane, kowa ya koma gidansa.
Then Samuel explained to the people the rights of kingship. He wrote them on a scroll and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, each to his own home.
26 Shawulu ma ya tafi gidansa a Gibeya tare da waɗansu jarumawan da Allah ya taɓa zuciyarsu.
Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, and the men of valor whose hearts God had touched went with him.
27 Amma waɗansu’yan iska suka ce, “Yaya wannan mutum zai iya cetonmu?” Suka rena shi suka ƙi su kawo masa kyautai. Amma Shawulu bai ce uffam ba.
But some worthless men said, “How can this man save us?” So they despised him and brought him no gifts; but Saul remained silent about it.
