< 1 Sama’ila 2 >

1 Sai Hannatu ta yi addu’a ta ce, “Zuciyata tana farin ciki a cikin Ubangiji; a cikin Ubangiji an sa ina jin daɗi ƙwarai. Na buɗe bakina na yi wa abokan gābana dariya. Kai! Ina murna domin ka cece ni!
At that time Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD in whom my horn is exalted. My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, for I rejoice in Your salvation.
2 “Babu wani mai tsarki kamar Ubangiji babu wani, in ban da kai; babu wani dutse kamar Allahnmu.
There is no one holy like the LORD. Indeed, there is no one besides You! And there is no Rock like our God.
3 “Ka daina maganganu na girman kai ka kuma daina faɗin kalmomin ɗaga kai; gama Ubangiji Allah ne masani daga gare shi kuma ana auna ayyuka.
Do not boast so proudly, or let arrogance come from your mouth, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by Him actions are weighed.
4 “An kakkarya bakkuna masu yaƙi, amma su da ka raunana an ba su makaman ƙarfi.
The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble are equipped with strength.
5 Waɗanda a dā suna da abinci sosai; yanzu suna ƙodago saboda abinci, masu fama da yunwa kuwa sun daina jin yunwa. Ita da take bakararriya, ta haifi’ya’ya bakwai amma ita da tana da’ya’ya da yawa, ta zama mai baƙin ciki.
The well-fed hire themselves out for food, but the starving hunger no more. The barren woman gives birth to seven, but she who has many sons pines away.
6 “Ubangiji ne ke kawo mutuwa, yă kuma rayar yana kai ga kabari, yă kuma tā da. (Sheol h7585)
The LORD brings death and gives life; He brings down to Sheol and raises up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Ubangiji ne yakan aika da talauci da kuma dukiya; yakan ƙasƙantar yă kuma ɗaukaka.
The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts.
8 Yakan tā da matalauci daga ƙura, yă kuma ɗaga mai bukata daga tarin toka; yă zaunar da su tare da’ya’yan sarki; yă kuma sa su gāji mulki na ɗaukaka. “Harsashin duniya na Ubangiji ne; a bisansu ne ya kafa duniya.
He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. He seats them among princes and bestows on them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s, and upon them He has set the world.
9 Zai kiyaye ƙafafun masu tsarki, amma mugaye za su lalace cikin duhu. “Ba bisa ga ƙarfi mutum ba ne mutum ke nasara;
He guards the steps of His faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness; for by his own strength shall no man prevail.
10 waɗanda suke gāba da Ubangiji za su hallaka. Zai yi musu tsawa daga sama, Ubangiji zai hukunta dukan duniya. “Zai ba wa sarkinsa ƙarfi, yă kuma ɗaukaka shafaffensa.”
Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder from heaven against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth and will give power to His king. He will exalt the horn of His anointed.”
11 Sa’an nan, Elkana ya koma gida a Rama amma yaron ya yi hidima a gaban Ubangiji a ƙarƙashin Eli firist.
Then Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy began ministering to the LORD before Eli the priest.
12 ’Ya’yan Eli firist, mutane ne masu mugunta. Ba su ɗauki Ubangiji a bakin kome ba.
Now the sons of Eli were wicked men; they had no regard for the LORD
13 Al’ada ce ga firistoci da mutane cewa in wani ya miƙa hadaya, yayinda nama yake kan wuta, bawan firist zai zo da babban cokali mai yatsu,
or for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling
14 zai soka cokali mai yatsun a tukunyar, ko butar da ake dafan naman. Duk abin da cokali mai yatsun ya cako daga tukunyar, ya zama na firist. Haka aka yi ta yi wa Isra’ilawan da suka zo miƙa hadaya a Shilo.
and plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.
15 Tun ma kafin a ƙona kitse, bawan firist yakan zo yă ce wa mutumin da yake miƙa hadaya, “Ka ba wa firist nama domin yă gasa, ba zai karɓi dafaffen nama daga wurinka ba, sai ɗanye.”
Even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast, because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”
16 In kuwa mutumin ya ce masa, “Bari kitse yă ƙone tukuna, sa’an nan ka ɗiba duk abin da kake so.” Sai bawan yă ce masa, “A’a, ka ba ni yanzu, in ka ƙi kuwa zan ɗiba ƙarfi da yaji.”
And if any man said to him, “The fat must be burned first; then you may take whatever you want,” the servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me right now. If you refuse, I will take it by force!”
17 Wannan zunubin samarin ya yi muni ƙwarai a gaban Ubangiji, domin sun wulaƙanta hadayar Ubangiji, ƙwarai da gaske.
Thus the sin of these young men was severe in the sight of the LORD, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.
18 Amma yaron nan Sama’ila, yana hidima a gaban Ubangiji yana sanye da efod na lilin.
Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD—a boy wearing a linen ephod.
19 Kowace shekara mahaifiyarsa takan ɗinka’yar taguwa ta kai masa sa’ad da ita da mijinta suka je miƙa hadaya ta shekara.
Each year his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
20 Eli yakan sa wa Elkana da matarsa albarka, yă ce, Ubangiji yă ba ka waɗansu’ya’ya ta wurin matan nan, maimakon wanda ta roƙa daga Ubangiji, ta kuma ba da shi ga Ubangiji. Bayan haka sai su koma gida.
And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, saying, “May the LORD give you children by this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD.” Then they would go home.
21 Hannatu kuwa ta sami alfarma daga Ubangiji. Ta yi ciki. Ana cikin haka Sama’ila kuwa sai girma yake ta yi a gaban Ubangiji.
So the LORD attended to Hannah, and she conceived and gave birth to three sons and two daughters. Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the LORD.
22 To, Eli kuwa ya tsufa ƙwarai, yana kuma jin labari duk abin da’ya’yansa suke yi wa dukan Isra’ila, da yadda suke lalata da matan da suke hidima a bakin ƙofar Tentin Sujada.
Now Eli was very old, and he heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
23 Saboda haka ya ce musu, “Don me kuke yin waɗannan abubuwa? Na sami labari daga wurin mutane a kan duk ayyukan muguntanku.
“Why are you doing these things?” Eli said to his sons. “I hear about your wicked deeds from all these people.
24 A’a,’ya’yana ba labari mai kyau nake ji cikin mutanen Ubangiji ba.
No, my sons; it is not a good report I hear circulating among the LORD’s people.
25 In mutum ya yi wa wani laifi Allah yakan kāre shi; amma in mutum ya yi wa Ubangiji zunubi wa zai kāre shi?” Duk da haka,’ya’yansa ba su kula da gargaɗin mahaifinsu ba, domin nufin Ubangiji ne yă hallaka su.
If a man sins against another man, God can intercede for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?” But they would not listen to their father, since the LORD intended to put them to death.
26 Yaron nan Sama’ila ya dinga girma cikin kwarjini da cikin tagomashi a gaba Ubangiji da mutane.
And the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the LORD and with man.
27 Wani mutum ya zo wurin Eli ya ce masa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ashe ban bayana kaina sosai ga mahaifinka lokacin da yake a Masar a ƙarƙashin Fir’auna ba?
Then a man of God came to Eli and told him, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Did I not clearly reveal Myself to your father’s house when they were in Egypt under Pharaoh’s house?
28 Na zaɓi mahaifinka daga cikin dukan kabilar Isra’ila yă zama firist nawa don yă yi hidima a bagade, don yă ƙona turare mai ƙanshi, don kuma yă sanya doguwar riga a gabana. Na kuma ba wa iyalin mahaifinka dukan hadaya ta ƙonawa da Isra’ila suka miƙa.
And out of all the tribes of Israel I selected your father to be My priest, to offer sacrifices on My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod in My presence. I also gave to the house of your father all the offerings of the Israelites made by fire.
29 Don me kuke rena hadayata da sadakokina da na ƙayyade domin mazaunina? Don me kake girmama’ya’yanka fiye da ni ta wurin cinye sashe mafi kyau na kowane hadayar da mutanena Isra’ila suka miƙa?’
Why then do you kick at My sacrifice and offering that I have prescribed for My dwelling place? You have honored your sons more than Me by fattening yourselves with the best of all the offerings of My people Israel.’
30 “Saboda haka Ubangiji Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ‘Na yi alkawari cewa gidanka da gidan mahaifinka za su yi mini hidima a gabana har abada.’ Amma, yanzu Allah ya ce, ba zai yiwu ba; waɗanda suke girmama ni; Ni ma zan girmama su. Amma waɗanda suke ƙasƙantar da ni, haka za a ƙasƙantar da su.
Therefore, the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now the LORD declares: Far be it from Me! For I will honor those who honor Me, but those who despise Me will be disdained.
31 Lokaci yana zuwa sa’ad da zan rage ƙarfinka da ƙarfin iyalin gidan mahaifinka. Domin kada a sāke samun tsohon mutum a zuriyarka.
Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that no older man will be left in your house.
32 Za ka zama da ɓacin rai a mazaunina ko da yake za a yi wa Isra’ila alheri. A zuriyarka ba za a taɓa samun tsohon mutum ba.
You will see distress in My dwelling place. Despite all that is good in Israel, no one in your house will ever again reach old age.
33 Kowannenku da ban kashe daga hidima a bagadena ba, za a bar shi don yă cika idanunka da hawaye da kuma baƙin ciki, dukan sauran zuriyarka kuwa za su mutu a ƙuruciyarsu.
And every one of you that I do not cut off from My altar, your eyes will fail and your heart will grieve. All your descendants will die by the sword of men.
34 “‘Abin da kuma ya faru da’ya’yanka biyu Hofni da Finehas zai zama alama a gare ka; saboda mutuwarsu za tă zama a rana ɗaya.
And this sign shall come to you concerning your two sons Hophni and Phinehas: They will both die on the same day.
35 Zan tayar wa kaina amintaccen firist wanda zai aikata abin da nake so yă yi, zan kuwa ba shi zuriya da koyaushe za su yi aiki a gaban zaɓaɓɓen sarkina.
Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest. He will do whatever is in My heart and mind. And I will build for him an enduring house, and he will walk before My anointed one for all time.
36 Sa’an nan duk wanda ya rage a zuriyarka zai zo yă durƙusa a gabansa yă roƙi kuɗi da abinci, zai kuma roƙa a yardar masa yă taimaki firistoci da aiki domin yă sami abin da zai ci.’”
And everyone left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a morsel of bread, pleading, “Please appoint me to some priestly office so that I can eat a piece of bread.”’”
