1 Shawulu yana da shekara talatin sa’ad da ya zama sarki, ya kuma yi sarautar Isra’ila shekara arba’in da biyu.

Naʻe pule ʻa Saula ʻi he tau ʻe taha; pea hili ʻene pule ʻi he taʻu ʻe ua ki ʻIsileli,

2 Sai ya zaɓi sojoji dubu uku daga jama’ar Isra’ila. Ya keɓe dubu biyu su kasance tare da shi a Mikmash da kuma a tuddan yankin Betel. Ya kuma bar dubu ɗaya tare da ɗansa Yonatan a Gibeya a yankin zuriyar Benyamin. Sauran sojojin kuwa Shawulu ya sallame su su koma gidajensu.

Naʻe fili ʻe Saula ʻene kau tangata ʻe toko tolu afe mei ʻIsileli: naʻe ʻia Saula ʻi Mikimasi, pea ʻi he moʻunga ko Peteli ʻae toko ua afe, pea naʻe ʻia Sonatane ʻi Kipea ʻo Penisimani ʻae toko taha afe: pea ko hono toe ʻoe kakai naʻa ne fekau ke ʻalu ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono fale fehikitaki.

3 Yonatan ya kai wa Filistiyawa hari a Geba, sai Filistiyawa suka sami labarin. Sai Shawulu ya sa aka busa ƙaho ko’ina a ƙasar ya ce, “Bari Ibraniyawa su ji!”

Pea naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sonatane ʻae kolo tau ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻaia naʻe ʻi Kipea, pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻae kakai Filisitia. Pea naʻe ifi meʻalea ʻe Saula ʻi he potu fonua kotoa pē, ʻo ne pehē, Ke ongoʻi ʻe he kakai Hepelū.

4 Haka kuwa dukan Isra’ila suka ji labari cewa, “Shawulu ya kai hari a ƙasar Filistiyawa, yanzu Isra’ila ta zama abin ƙi ga Filistiyawa.” Aka kira mutane su haɗu da Shawulu a Gilgal.

Pea naʻe fanongo ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē ki he lea, kuo taaʻi ʻe Saula ha kolo tau ʻae kakai Filisitia, pea kuo fehiʻanekina ʻaupito ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai Filisitia. Pea naʻe fekau ke fakataha ʻae kakai kia Saula ʻi Kilikali.

5 Sai Filistiyawa suka taru don su yi yaƙi da Isra’ilawa. Suka fito da kekunan-dawakan yaƙi dubu talatin, da masu hawan dawakai dubu shida, da sojoji masu yawa kamar yashi a bakin teku. Suka tafi Mikmash a gabashin Bet-Awen, suka kafa sansani a can.

Pea naʻe kātoa fakataha ʻae kakai Filisitia ke tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli, ko e ngaahi saliote ʻe tolu mano, mo e kau tangata heka hoosi ʻe toko ono afe, pea ko e kakai naʻe hangē ko e ʻoneʻone ʻi he matātahi honau tokolahi: pea naʻa nau ʻalu hake ʻo nofo ʻi Mikimasi, ʻi he potu hopoʻangalaʻā mei Pete-ʻAveni.

6 Sa’ad da Filistiyawa suka fāɗa wa Isra’ilawa da yaƙi mai tsanani, suka sa su cikin wani hali mai wuya, sai Isra’ilawa suka ɓuya a kogwanni, da ciyayi, da duwatsu, da ramummuka, da rijiyoyi.

Pea ʻi he vakai ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli kuo ʻākilotoa ʻakinautolu (he naʻe mamahi ʻae kakai), naʻe fakatoitoi ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai ʻi he ngaahi ʻana, mo e ngaahi vaofihi, pea ʻi he ngaahi maka, mo e potu māʻolunga, pea ʻi he ngaahi luo.

7 Waɗansunsu ma suka haye Urdun zuwa ƙasar Gad da Gileyad. Shawulu ya zauna Gilgal, dukan ƙungiyoyi sojojin da suke tare da shi suka yi rawan jiki don tsoro.

Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau Hepelū niʻihi ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ki he fonua ʻo Kata mo Kiliati, ka ko Saula naʻe kei ʻi Kilikali ia, pea naʻe muimui tetetete pe ʻae kakai kiate ia.

8 Ya jira har kwana bakwai bisa ga lokacin da Sama’ila ya bayar. Amma Sama’ila bai zo Gilgal ba, mutanen Shawulu suka fara watsewa.

Pea naʻe tatali ia ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu ʻo fakatatau ki he ʻaho naʻe kotofa ʻe Samuela: ka naʻe ʻikai haʻu ʻa Samuela ki Kilikali; pea naʻe movetevete ʻae kakai ʻiate ia.

9 Sai ya ce, “Ku kawo mini hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta salama.” Sai Shawulu ya miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa.

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula, “ʻOmi ki heni kiate au ʻae feilaulau tutu, mo e feilaulau fakalelei.” Pea naʻa ne ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu.

10 Daidai yana gama miƙa hadaya ke nan sai Sama’ila ya iso. Shawulu kuma ya fito domin yă yi masa maraba.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili leva ʻene fakaʻosi ʻene ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu, vakai, kuo hoko mai ʻa Samuela; pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻa Saula ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ke na feʻiloaki.

11 Sama’ila ya ce, “Me ke nan ka yi?” Shawulu ya ce, “Sa’ad da na ga mutane suna watsewa, kai kuwa ba ka zo cikin lokaci ba, ga Filistiyawa kuma suna taruwa a Mikmash,

Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela, “Ko e hā ia kuo ke fai?” Pea pehē ʻe Saula, “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku vakai kuo movete ʻae kakai meiate au, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke hoko mai ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻe kotofa, pea kuo kātoa fakataha ʻae kau Filisitia ki Mikimasi:

12 sai na yi tunani cewa, ‘Yanzu Filistiyawa za su gangaro su fāɗa mini a Gilgal, ga ni kuma ban riga na nemi nufin Ubangiji ba.’ Shi ya sa ya zama mini tilas in miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa.”

Ko ia naʻaku pehē ai, ‘Ko eni ʻe hoko hifo kiate au ʻae kau Filisitia ki Kilikali, ka ʻoku teʻeki ai te u fai ʻae hū kia Sihova’: ko ia ne u kātaki ai au ʻo ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu.”

13 Sama’ila ya ce, “Ka yi wauta da ba ka bi umarnin da Ubangiji Allahnka ya ba ka ba. Da ka yi haka da Ubangiji ya tabbatar maka da sarautar Isra’ila har abada.

Pea pehē ʻe Samuela kia Saula, “Kuo ke fai vale: kuo ʻikai te ke tauhi ʻae fekau ʻa Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau kiate koe: ka ne pehē, kuo fokotuʻumaʻu ʻe Sihova ho puleʻanga ki ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata.

14 Amma yanzu, masarautarka ba za tă dawwama ba, Ubangiji ya riga ya sami wani wanda zuciyarsa ke ƙauna, ya naɗa shi shugaban mutanensa gama ba ka bi umarnin Ubangiji ba.”

Ka ko eni ʻe ʻikai tuʻumaʻu ho puleʻanga: kuo fili ʻe Sihova ha tangata maʻana ʻo hangē ko hono loto ʻoʻona, pea kuo fekau ʻe Sihova kiate ia ke ʻeiki ia ki hono kakai, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te ke tauhi ʻaia naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova kiate koe.”

15 Sama’ila ya tashi daga Gilgal ya tafi Gibeya a ƙasar Benyamin. Shawulu kuma ya ƙidaya mutanen da suke tare da shi, yawansu ya kai wajen mutum ɗari shida.

Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Samuela, ʻo ʻalu mei Kilikali ki Kipea ʻo Penisimani. Pea naʻe lau ʻe Saula ʻae kakai naʻe ʻiate ia, ko e toko onongeau nai.

16 Shawulu da ɗansa Yonatan da mutanen da suke tare da shi suka zauna a Geba ta Benyamin. Sa’an nan Filistiyawa suka yi sansani a Mikmash.

Pea ko Saula mo hono foha ko Sonatane, pea mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate kinaua, naʻa nau nofo ʻi Kipea ʻo Penisimani: ka naʻe ʻapitanga ʻae kakai Filisitia ʻi Mikimasi.

17 Rundunar mayaƙa uku suka fito daga sansani Filistiyawa. Ɗaya ta nufi Ofra, zuwa ƙasar Shuwal.

Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae vahe ʻe tolu ʻoe kau maumau mei he nofoʻanga tau ʻoe kau Filisitia: naʻe ʻalu ʻae kautau ʻe taha ki he hala ki Ofila, ki he fonua ko Suali:

18 Runduna guda kuma ta nufi Bet-Horon, ɗayan kuwa ta nufi iyakar da take fuskantar Kwarin Ziboyim wajen jeji.

Pea naʻe afe ʻae kautau ʻe taha ki he hala ki Pete-holoni: pea ʻalu ʻae kautau ʻe taha ki he hala ʻoe veʻe fonua ʻoku hanga atu ki he teleʻa ʻo Sipoimi ʻo hanga atu ki he toafa.

19 Ba a sami maƙeri ɗaya a dukan ƙasar Isra’ila ba domin Filistiyawa sun ce, “In ba haka ba Ibraniyawa za su ƙera wa kansu takuba ko māsu.”

Pea ko eni, naʻe ʻikai ʻiloʻi ha tufunga tuki ukamea ʻi he fonua kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: he ne pehē ʻe he kau Filisitia, Telia naʻa tuki ʻe he kau Hepelū ʻae ngaahi heletā mo e tao maʻanautolu.

20 Saboda haka dukan Isra’ila sukan gangara zuwa wajen Filistiyawa domin su gyara bakin garemaninsu, da fartanansu, da gaturansu, da kuma laujunansu.

Ka naʻe ʻalu hifo ki he kau Filisitia ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ke fakamata taki taha ʻae tangata hono huotoho, mo ʻene hele, mo ʻene toki, mo ʻene huo keli.

21 Duk lokacin da za su gyara bakin garmansu da fartanyarsu sai sun biya tsabar azurfa biyu. Haka ma idan za su gyara gatari ko bakunan abin korar shanun noma sai sun biya tsabar azurfa ɗaya.

Ka naʻa nau maʻu ʻae kili fakamata ki he huo keli, pea ki he hele, mo e ngaahi huhuʻi pea mo e ngaahi toki, pea ke fakamata ʻae meʻa kini.

22 A ranar da yaƙi ya tashi, ba a sami wanda yake da takobi ko māshi ba a cikin mutanen da suke tare da Shawulu da Yonatan. Sai dai Shawulu da ɗansa Yonatan kaɗai.

Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe tau, naʻe ʻikai ʻiloa ha heletā pe ha tao ʻi he nima ʻo ha tokotaha ʻi he kakai naʻe ʻia Saula mo Sonatane: ka ko Saula mo hono foha ko Sonatane, naʻe ʻilo ai ia.

23 Ana nan sai sojojin Filistiyawa suka fita zuwa mashigin Mikmash.

Pea naʻe hiki kituʻa ʻae ʻapitanga ʻoe kau Filisitia ke ʻalu ki he potu ʻaluʻanga ki Mikimasi.
