1 Sama’ila 11
1 Nahash mutumin Ammon ya haura ya kewaye Yabesh Gileyad da yaƙi. Dukan mutanen Yabesh suka ce masa, “Ka ƙulla amana da mu, mu kuwa za mu bauta maka.”
Then came up Nachash the 'Ammonite, and encamped against Yabesh-gil'ad: and all the men of Yabesh said unto Nachash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
2 Amma Nahash ya ce, “Zan ƙulla amana da ku kawai a kan sharaɗin cewa zan ƙwaƙulo idon dama na kowannenku, ta haka za a kunyata Isra’ila.”
And Nachash the 'Ammonite said unto them, On this condition will I make it with you, that ye all have put out the right eye, that I may lay it as a reproach upon all Israel.
3 Dattawan Yabesh suka ce masa, “Ka ba mu kwana bakwai don mu aika manzanni a dukan ƙasar Isra’ila idan ba mu sami wanda zai cece mu ba, za mu ba da kanmu gare ka.”
And the elders of Yabesh said unto him, Grant us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers throughout all the boundary of Israel; and then, if there be none to save us, will we come out to thee.
4 Da manzannin suka zo Gibeya garin Shawulu, suka gaya wa mutane wannan sharaɗin, suka yi kuka mai zafi.
And the messengers came to Gib'ah of Saul, and spoke the words in the ears of the people; and all the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 A daidai wannan lokacin kuwa Shawulu yana dawowa daga gona tare da shanunsa na noma, sai ya ce, “Me ya faru, mutane suna kuka haka?” Sai suka faɗa masa abin da mutanen Yabesh suka faɗa musu.
And, behold, Saul was coming after the herds out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the words of the men of Yabesh.
6 Da Shawulu ya ji, sa Ruhun Allah ya sauko a kansa da iko, ya husata ƙwarai.
And the spirit of God came suddenly over Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was kindled greatly,
7 Ya ɗauki shanu biyu, ya yayyanka su gunduwa-gunduwa, ya aika da su ko’ina a ƙasar Isra’ila ta wurin manzanni cewa, “Duk wanda bai fita ya bi Shawulu da Sama’ila ba, haka za a yi da shanunsa.” Mutanen suka ji tsoron Ubangiji suka fita gaba ɗaya kamar mutum guda.
And he took a yoke of oxen, and cut them in pieces, and sent them about throughout all the boundary of Israel by the hand of the messengers, saying, Whosoever goeth not forth after Saul and after Samuel, shall have his herds thus treated. And the dread of the Lord fell on the people, and they went out as one man.
8 Mutanen Isra’ila sun kai dubu ɗari uku. Mutanen Yahuda kuma dubu talatin, sa’ad da Shawulu ya tara su a Bezek.
And he numbered them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9 Suka ce wa’yan aikan da suka zo, “Ku faɗa wa mutanen Yabesh Gileyad, ‘Gobe, kafin rana tă yi zafi, za ku sami ceto.’” Sa’ad da’yan aikan suka tafi, suka ba da saƙon nan ga mutanen Yabesh, sai suka farin ciki.
And they said unto the messengers that were come, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Yabesh-gil'ad, Tomorrow shall ye have help, when the sun shineth hot. And the messengers came and told it to the men of Yabesh; and these were glad.
10 Suka ce wa Ammonawa, “Gobe za mu miƙa wuya gare ku, ku kuma yi duk abin da kuka ga dama.”
And the men of Yabesh said, Tomorrow will we go out unto you, and ye can do unto us in accordance with all that seemeth good in your eyes.
11 Gari yana wayewa, sai Shawulu ya raba mutane kashi uku, a sa’a ta ƙarshe na daren sai suka fāɗa wa sansanin Ammonawa, suka kuma karkashe su har lokacin da rana ta yi zafi. Waɗanda suka kuɓuce kuwa suka warwatsu, har babu biyunsu da aka bari tare.
And it happened on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they smote the 'Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that those that remained were scattered, and no two among them were left together.
12 Sai mutane suka ce wa Sama’ila, “Su wa suka ce, ‘Shawulu zai yi mulkinmu?’ A kawo mana su mu kashe.”
And the people said unto Samuel, Who is there that saith, Shall Saul reign over us? give up the men, and we will put them to death.
13 Shawulu ya ce, “Ba wanda zai mutu yau, gama Ubangiji ya kuɓutar da Isra’ila a wannan rana.”
And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death on this day; for today the Lord hath wrought deliverance in Israel.
14 Sai Sama’ila ya ce wa mutane, “Ku zo mu tafi Gilgal, a can za a yi wankan sarauta.”
And Samuel said to the people, Come and let us go to Gilgal, and renew there the choice of the king.
15 Don haka dukan mutane suka tafi Gilgal, suka tabbatar da Shawulu sarki a gaban Ubangiji. A can suka miƙa hadaya ta salama a gaban Ubangiji, Shawulu kuwa da dukan Isra’ila suka yi babban liyafa.
And all the people went to Gilgal; and they appointed there Saul as king before the Lord in Gilgal; and they sacrificed there sacrifices of peace-offerings before the Lord; and Saul with all the men of Israel rejoiced there very greatly.
