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.
And Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured [it] on his head, and kissed him, and said to him, Has not the Lord anointed thee for a ruler over his people, over Israel? and thou shalt rule among the people of the Lord, and thou shalt save them out of the hand of their enemies; and this [shall be] the sign to thee that the Lord has anointed thee for a 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?’
[As soon] as thou shalt have departed this day from me, thou shalt find two men by the burial-place of Rachel on the mount of Benjamin, exulting greatly; and they shall say to thee, The asses are found which ye went to seek; and, behold, thy father has given up the matter of the asses, and he is anxious for you, saying, What shall I do for 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.
And thou shalt depart thence, and shalt go beyond that as far as the oak of Thabor, and thou shalt find there three men going up to God to Baethel, one bearing three kids, and another bearing three vessels of bread, and another bearing a bottle of wine.
4 Za su gaishe ka, su ba ka burodi biyu, kai kuwa sai ka karɓa.
And they shall ask thee how thou doest, and shall give thee two presents of bread, and thou shall receive them of their hand.
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.
And afterward thou shalt go to the hill of God, where is the encampment of the Philistines; there [is] Nasib the Philistine: an it shall come to pass when ye shall have entered into the city, that thou shalt meet a band of prophets coming down from the Bama; and before them will be lutes, and a drum, and a pipe, and a harp, and they shall prophesy.
6 Ruhun Ubangiji zai sauko a kanka da iko, za ka kuma yi annabci tare da su. Za a canja ka ka zama dabam.
And the Spirit of the Lord shall come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
7 Da zarar waɗannan alamu sun cika, sai ka aikata duk abin da kana iya yi gama Allah yana tare da kai.
And it shall come to pass when these signs shall come upon thee, —[then] do thou whatsoever thy hand shall find, because God [is] with thee.
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 thou shalt go down in front of Galgal, and behold, I come down to thee to offer a whole-burnt-offering and peace-offerings: seven days shalt thou wait until I shall come to thee, and I will make known to thee what thou shalt do.
9 Da Shawulu ya juya zai bar Sama’ila, sai Allah ya canja wa Shawulu zuciya, alamun nan kuwa suka cika a ranar.
And it came to pass when he turned his back to depart from Samuel, God gave him another heart; and all these signs came to pass in 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.
And he comes thence to the hill, and behold a band of prophets opposite to him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied in the midst of 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?”
And all that had known him before came, and saw, and behold, he [was] in the midst of the prophets: and the people said every one to his neighbour, What [is] this that has happened to the son of Kis? [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?”
And one of them answered and said, And who [is] his father? and therefore it became a proverb, [Is] Saul also among the prophets?
13 Bayan da Shawulu ya gama annabci sai ya haura ya tafi tudu.
And he ceased prophesying, and comes to the hill.
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.”
And his kinsman said to him and to his servant, Whither went ye? and they said, To seek the asses; and we saw that they were lost, and we went in to Samuel.
15 Ɗan’uwan mahaifin Shawulu ya ce, “Faɗa mini abin da Sama’ila ya ce maka.”
And his kinsman said to Saul, Tell me, I pray thee, What did Samuel say to thee?
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 said to his kinsman, he verily told me that the asses were found. But the matter of the kingdom he told him not.

And Samuel summoned all the people before the Lord to Massephath.
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 he said to the children of Israel, Thus has the Lord God of Israel spoken, saying, I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, and I rescued you out of the hand of Pharao king of Egypt, and out of all the kingdoms that afflicted 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.”
And ye have this day rejected God, who is himself your Deliverer out of all your evils and afflictions; and ye said, Nay, but thou shalt set a king over us: and now stand before the Lord according to your tribes, and according to your families.
20 Sa’ad da Sama’ila ya kawo dukan Isra’ila gaba, kabila-kabila, sai aka zaɓi kabilar Benyamin ta wurin jefa ƙuri’a.
And Samuel brought nigh all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin is taken by lot.
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.
And he brings near the tribe of Benjamin by families, and the family of Mattari is taken by lot: and they bring near the family of Mattari, man by man, and Saul the son of Kis is taken; and he sought him, but he was not found.
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.”
And Samuel asked yet again of the Lord, Will the man come hither? and the Lord said, Behold, he is hid among the stuff.
23 Suka ruga suka kawo shi. Da ya tsaya cikin mutane, sai ya fi kowa tsayi.
And he ran and took him thence, and he set him in the midst of the people; and he was higher than all the people by his shoulders and upwards.
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.”
And Samuel said to all the people, Have ye seen whom the Lord has chosen to himself, that there is none like to him among you all? And all the people took notice, and said, Let the king live!
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.
And Samuel told the people the manner of the king, and wrote it in a book, and set it before the Lord: and Samuel sent away all the people, and each went to his place.

And Saul departed to his house to Gabaa; and there went with Saul mighty men whose hearts God had touched.

But evil men said, Who [is] this man [that] shall save us? and they despised him, and brought him no gifts.
