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.
Samuel said to Saul, "Jehovah sent me to anoint you to be king over Israel. Now therefore listen to the voice of the words of Jehovah.
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 says Jehovah of hosts, 'I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he set himself against him in the way, when he came 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 strike Amalek and put them and everything that belongs to them under the ban. And do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"
4 Sai Shawulu ya tattara sojoji, ya ƙidaya su a Telayim, ya sami su dubu ɗari biyu da dubu goma daga Yahuda.
Saul summoned the people, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
5 Shawulu ya tafi birnin Amalek ya yi kwanto a kwari.
Saul came to the city of Amalek, and lay in wait in the 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.
Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among Amalek, lest I sweep you away with them; for you showed kindness to the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among Amalek.
7 Sa’an nan Shawulu ya ci Amalekawa da yaƙi tun daga Hawila har zuwa Shur, a gabashin iyakar Masar.
Saul struck Amalek, from Havilah as you go to Shur, that is before Egypt.
8 Ya kama Agag sarkin Amalekawa da rai. Ya kuma hallaka dukan mutanensa da takobi.
He took Agag the king of Amalek alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge 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.
But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and the cattle, and the fat ones and the lambs, and all that was good, and wouldn't utterly destroy them; but everything that was despised and rejected, that they utterly destroyed.
10 Sai Ubangiji ya yi magana da Sama’ila ya ce,
Then the word of Jehovah came 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.
"It grieves me that I have made Saul king; for he has turned back from following me, and has not carried out my commandments." And Samuel was angry; and he cried to Jehovah all 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 rose early to meet Saul in the morning; and it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul came to Carmel, and look, he set up a monument for himself, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal." And Samuel came to Saul, and look, he was offering up a burnt offering to Jehovah, the best of the spoils which he had brought from Amalek.
13 Da Sama’ila ya kai wurinsa, sai Shawulu ya ce, “Ubangiji yă albarkace ka, na aikata umarnin Ubangiji.”
And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, "You are blessed by Jehovah. I have performed the commandment of Jehovah."
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?”
Samuel said, "Then what does this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the cattle which I hear mean?"
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 said, "I have brought them from Amalek; for the people spared the best of the sheep and the cattle to sacrifice to Jehovah your God, and I have utterly destroyed the rest."
16 Sama’ila ya ce, “Dakata, bari in faɗa maka abin da Ubangiji ya ce mini jiya da dare.” Shawulu ya ce, “Gaya mini.”
Then Samuel said to Saul, "Stay, and I will tell you what Jehovah has said to me last night." He said to him, "Say on."
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.
Samuel said, "Though you were little in your own sight, weren't you made the head of the tribes of Israel? Jehovah anointed you 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 Jehovah sent you on a journey, and said to you, 'Go, and utterly destroy those sinners, Amalek, and fight against them until you have destroyed them.'
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?”
Why then did you not obey the voice of Jehovah, but took the spoils, and did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah?"
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.
Saul said to Samuel, "But I have obeyed the voice of Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed Amalek.
21 Sojoji suka kawo tumaki da shanu mafi kyau daga cikin ganimar domin a miƙa hadaya ga Ubangiji Allahnka a Gilgal.”
But the people took of the spoil, sheep and cattle, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice to Jehovah your God 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.
Samuel said, "Has Jehovah as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? Look, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the 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 like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of Jehovah, he has also rejected 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.
Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of Jehovah, and your words, because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25 Yanzu fa, ina roƙonka ka yafe mini zunubina, ka koma tare da ni, domin in yi wa Ubangiji sujada.”
Now therefore, please pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah."
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.”
Samuel said to Saul, "I will not return with you; for you have rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah has rejected you from being king over Israel."
27 Da Sama’ila ya juya zai tafi, sai Shawulu ya kama bakin rigarsa, sai rigar ta yage.
As Samuel turned about to go away, he grabbed the skirt of his robe, and it tore.
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.
Samuel said to him, "Jehovah has torn the kingdom of Israel from you this day, and has given it to a neighbor of yours 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 Eternal One of Israel will not retract or change his mind; for he is not a man that he should change his mind."
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.”
Then he said, "I have sinned: yet please honor me now before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and come back with me, that I may worship Jehovah your God."
31 Saboda haka sai Sama’ila ya koma tare da Shawulu, Shawulu kuwa ya yi wa Ubangiji sujada.
So Samuel went back with Saul; and he worshiped Jehovah.
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.”
Then Samuel said, "Bring here to me Agag the king of Amalek." And Agag came to him trembling. And Agag said, "Surely death is bitter."
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.
Samuel said, "As your sword has made women childless, so your mother will be childless among women." Samuel cut Agag in pieces before Jehovah in Gilgal.
34 Sai Sama’ila ya tafi Rama, amma Shawulu ya haura zuwa gidansa a Gibeya na Shawulu.
Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house in Gibeah.
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 did not see Saul again until the day of his death; for Samuel mourned for Saul. And Jehovah grieved that he had made Saul king over Israel.
