1 Sama’ila 15
1 Sama’ila ya ce wa Shawulu, “Ni ne wanda Ubangiji ya aika in shafe ka ka zama sarki bisa mutanensa Isra’ila. Saurara yanzu ka ji saƙo daga wurin Ubangiji.
And Samuel says to Saul, “YHWH sent me to anoint you for king over His people, over Israel; and now, listen to the voice of the words of YHWH.
2 Ga abin da Ubangiji Maɗaukaki ya ce, ‘Zan hori Amalekawa saboda abin da suka yi wa Isra’ila sa’ad da suka ba su wahala yayinda suka fito daga Masar.
Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have looked after that which Amalek did to Israel, that which he laid for him in the way in his going up out of Egypt.
3 Yanzu ka tafi ka yaƙi Amalekawa, ka hallaka kome da yake nasu, kada ka bar su da rai, ka kashe maza, da mata, da yara, da jarirai, da dabbobi, da tumaki, da raƙuma, da kuma jakuna.’”
Now go, and you have struck Amalek, and devoted all that he has, and you have no pity on him, and have put to death from man to woman, from infant to suckling, from ox to sheep, from camel to donkey.”
4 Sai Shawulu ya tattara sojoji, ya ƙidaya su a Telayim, ya sami su dubu ɗari biyu da dubu goma daga Yahuda.
And Saul summons the people, and inspects them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand [are] men of Judah.
5 Shawulu ya tafi birnin Amalek ya yi kwanto a kwari.
And Saul comes to a city of Amalek, and lays wait in a valley;
6 Sai Shawulu ya ce wa Keniyawa, “Ku tashi ku bar Amalekawa don kada in hallaka ku tare da su, saboda kun yi wa dukan Isra’ilawa kirki, lokacin da suka fito daga Masar.” Saboda haka Keniyawa suka tashi suka bar Amalekawa.
and Saul says to the Kenite, “Go, turn aside, go down from the midst of Amalek, lest I consume you with it, and you did kindness with all the sons of Israel, in their going up out of Egypt”; and the Kenite turns aside from the midst of Amalek.
7 Sa’an nan Shawulu ya ci Amalekawa da yaƙi tun daga Hawila har zuwa Shur, a gabashin iyakar Masar.
And Saul strikes Amalek from Havilah [to] your going to Shur, which [is] on the front of Egypt,
8 Ya kama Agag sarkin Amalekawa da rai. Ya kuma hallaka dukan mutanensa da takobi.
and he catches Agag king of Amalek alive, and he has devoted all the people by the mouth of the sword;
9 Amma Shawulu da sojojinsa suka bar Agag, da tumaki, da shanu, da’yan maruƙa masu ƙiba da kuma duk abin da yake mai kyau da rai. Waɗannan ba su so su hallaka su gaba ɗaya ba, amma duk abin da ba a so da kuma marar amfani suka hallaka.
and Saul has pity—also the people—on Agag, and on the best of the flock, and of the herd, and of the seconds, and on the lambs, and on all that [is] good, and have not been willing to devote them; and all the work, despised and wasted—it they devoted.
10 Sai Ubangiji ya yi magana da Sama’ila ya ce,
And the word of YHWH is to Samuel, saying,
11 “Na damu da na naɗa Shawulu sarki, domin ya juya mini baya, bai kuma bi umarnina ba.” Sama’ila ya damu ƙwarai, ya yi kuka ga Ubangiji dukan dare.
“I have regretted that I caused Saul to reign for king, for he has turned back from after Me, and he has not performed My words”; and it is displeasing to Samuel, and he cries to YHWH all the night.
12 Kashegari da sassafe sai Sama’ila ya tashi ya tafi domin yă sadu da Shawulu, amma aka gaya masa cewa Shawulu ya tafi Karmel. A can ya yi wa kansa abin tunawa don yă girmama kansa, daga can kuma ya juya ya gangara zuwa Gilgal.
And Samuel rises early to meet Saul in the morning, and it is declared to Samuel, saying, “Saul has come to Carmel, and behold, he is setting up a monument to himself, and goes around, and passes over, and goes down to Gilgal.”
13 Da Sama’ila ya kai wurinsa, sai Shawulu ya ce, “Ubangiji yă albarkace ka, na aikata umarnin Ubangiji.”
And Samuel comes to Saul, and Saul says to him, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH; I have performed the word of YHWH.”
14 Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ashe, waɗannan ba kukan tumaki ke nan nake ji a kunnena ba? Wane kuka shanu ke nan nake ji?”
And Samuel says, “And what [is] the noise of this flock in my ears—and the noise of the herd which I am hearing?”
15 Shawulu ya amsa ya ce, “Sojoji ne suka kawo su daga Amalekawa. Sun bar tumaki da shanu masu kyau da rai don su yi wa Ubangiji Allahnka hadaya, amma sauran mun hallaka duka.”
And Saul says, “They have brought them from Amalek, because the people had pity on the best of the flock, and of the herd, in order to sacrifice to your God YHWH, and we have devoted the remnant.”
16 Sama’ila ya ce, “Dakata, bari in faɗa maka abin da Ubangiji ya ce mini jiya da dare.” Shawulu ya ce, “Gaya mini.”
And Samuel says to Saul, “Desist, and I declare to you that which YHWH has spoken to me tonight”; and he says to him, “Speak.”
17 Sama’ila ya ce, “Ko da yake kana ganin kanka kai ba wani abu ne ba, ashe, ba kai ne yanzu shugaban kabilan Isra’ila ba? Ubangiji ya shafe ka ka zama sarkin Isra’ila.
And Samuel says, “Are you not, if you [are] little in your own eyes, head of the tribes of Israel? And YHWH anoints you for king over Israel,
18 Shi kuma ya aika, ya umarce ka cewa, ‘Tafi ka hallaka Amalekawa mugayen mutanen nan duka, ka yaƙe su sai ka share su ƙaf.’
and YHWH sends you in the way, and says, Go, and you have devoted the sinners, the Amalekite, and fought against them until they are consumed;
19 Me ya sa ba ka bi umarnin Ubangiji ba? Me ya sa ka sa hannu a ganima, ka kuma yi mugun abu a gaban Ubangiji?”
and why have you not listened to the voice of YHWH—and fly to the spoil, and do evil in the eyes of YHWH?”
20 Shawulu ya ce, “Amma na bi umarnin Ubangiji. Na bi saƙon da Ubangiji ya ba ni. Na hallaka Amalekawa, na kuma kamo Agag sarkinsu.
And Saul says to Samuel, “Because—I have listened to the voice of YHWH, and I go in the way which YHWH has sent me, and bring in Agag king of Amalek, and I have devoted Amalek;
21 Sojoji suka kawo tumaki da shanu mafi kyau daga cikin ganimar domin a miƙa hadaya ga Ubangiji Allahnka a Gilgal.”
and the people take of the spoil of the flock and herd, the first part of the devoted thing, for sacrifice to your God YHWH in Gilgal.”
22 Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ubangiji yana murna da sadaka da hadaya fiye da biyayya ga maganar Ubangiji? Yin biyayya ta fi hadaya a kula kuma ta fi ƙibabbun raguna.
And Samuel says, “Has YHWH had delight in burnt-offerings and sacrifices as [in] listening to the voice of YHWH? Behold, listening is better than sacrifice; to give attention than fat of rams;
23 Gama tawaye yana kama da zunubi na duba, girman kai kuma yana kama da bautar gumaka. Saboda ka ƙi maganar Ubangiji, shi ma ya ƙi ka da zaman sarki.”
for rebellion [is as] a sin of divination, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and teraphim; because you have rejected the word of YHWH, He also rejects you from [being] king.”
24 Sai Shawulu ya ce wa Sama’ila, “Na yi zunubi, na ƙi bin umarnin Ubangiji, na kuma ƙi bin maganarka. Na ji tsoron mutane ne shi ya sa na bi maganarsu.
And Saul says to Samuel, “I have sinned, for I passed over the command of YHWH, and your words; because I have feared the people, I also listen to their voice;
25 Yanzu fa, ina roƙonka ka yafe mini zunubina, ka koma tare da ni, domin in yi wa Ubangiji sujada.”
and now, please bear with my sin, and return with me, and I bow myself to YHWH.”
26 Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Ba zan koma tare da kai ba. Ka ƙi maganar Ubangiji, Ubangiji kuma ya ƙi ka da zama sarki a bisa Isra’ila.”
And Samuel says to Saul, “I do not return with you; for you have rejected the word of YHWH, and YHWH rejects you from being king over Israel.”
27 Da Sama’ila ya juya zai tafi, sai Shawulu ya kama bakin rigarsa, sai rigar ta yage.
And Samuel turns around to go, and he lays hold on the skirt of his upper robe—and it is torn!
28 Sama’ila ya ce masa, “Ubangiji ya yage masarautar Isra’ila daga gare ka yau, ya ba wa wani daga cikin maƙwabtanka wanda ya fi ka.
And Samuel says to him, “YHWH has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and given it to your neighbor who is better than you;
29 Shi wanda yake Ɗaukakar Isra’ila ba ya ƙarya ko yă canja zuciyarsa, gama shi ba mutum ba ne da zai canja zuciyarsa.”
and also, the Preeminence of Israel does not lie nor relent, for He [is] not a man that He should relent.”
30 Shawulu ya ce, “Na yi zunubi. Amma ina roƙonka ka ba ni girma a gaban dattawan mutanena da kuma a gaban Isra’ila, ka koma tare da ni domin in yi wa Ubangiji Allahnka sujada.”
And he says, “I have sinned; now please honor me before [the] elderly of my people and before Israel, and return with me; and I have bowed myself to your God YHWH.”
31 Saboda haka sai Sama’ila ya koma tare da Shawulu, Shawulu kuwa ya yi wa Ubangiji sujada.
And Samuel turns back after Saul, and Saul bows himself to YHWH;
32 Sa’an nan Sama’ila ya ce, “Kawo mini Agag sarkin Amalekawa.” Agag kuwa ya zo wurinsa daure da sarƙa, yana tunani cewa, “Tabbatacce zancen mutuwa dai ya wuce.”
and Samuel says, “Bring Agag king of Amalek to me,” and Agag comes to him daintily, and Agag says, “Surely the bitterness of death has turned aside.”
33 Amma Sama’ila ya ce, “Yadda takobinka ya sa mata suka rasa’ya’ya, haka mahaifiyarka za tă zama marar’ya’ya a cikin mata.” Sama’ila kuwa ya kashe Agag a Gilgal a gaban Ubangiji.
And Samuel says, “As your sword bereaved women—so is your mother bereaved above women”; and Samuel hews Agag in pieces before YHWH in Gilgal.
34 Sai Sama’ila ya tafi Rama, amma Shawulu ya haura zuwa gidansa a Gibeya na Shawulu.
And Samuel goes to Ramath, and Saul has gone to his house—to Gibeah of Saul.
35 Daga wannan rana Sama’ila bai ƙara saduwa da sarki Shawulu ba, har rasuwar Sama’ila, amma ya yi baƙin ciki sosai a kan Shawulu. Ubangiji kuwa ya damu da ya sa Shawulu ya zama Sarkin Isra’ila ba.
And Samuel has not added to see Saul until the day of his death, for Samuel mourned for Saul, and YHWH regretted that He had caused Saul to reign over Israel.
