< 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!
And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is exalted through the Lord: my mouth is enlarged over my enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
2 “Babu wani mai tsarki kamar Ubangiji babu wani, in ban da kai; babu wani dutse kamar Allahnmu.
There is none holy like the Lord; for there is none beside thee; and there is not any 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.
Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth; for a God of knowledge is the Lord, and by him are actions weighed.
4 “An kakkarya bakkuna masu yaƙi, amma su da ka raunana an ba su makaman ƙarfi.
The bow of the mighty is broken, and those that stumbled are girded 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.
They that were full hire themselves out for bread; and they that were hungry cease [from labor]: while the barren hath born seven, she that hath many children fadeth away.
6 “Ubangiji ne ke kawo mutuwa, yă kuma rayar yana kai ga kabari, yă kuma tā da. (Sheol )
The Lord killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol )
7 Ubangiji ne yakan aika da talauci da kuma dukiya; yakan ƙasƙantar yă kuma ɗaukaka.
The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich: he bringeth low and also lifteth up.
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 raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy, to set them among nobles, and he assigneth them the throne of glory; for the Lord's are the pillars of the earth, on which he hath 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 ever guardeth the feet of his pious ones, and the wicked shall be made silent in darkness; for not by strength can 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.”
The Lord—his adversaries will be crushed; out of heaven will he thunder upon them: the Lord will judge the ends of the earth; and he will give strength unto his king, and lift up 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.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the lad was ministering unto the Lord before 'Eli the priest.
12 ’Ya’yan Eli firist, mutane ne masu mugunta. Ba su ɗauki Ubangiji a bakin kome ba.
And the sons of 'Eli were worthless men: they knew not 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,
And the custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while [the man] was seething the flesh, with a fork with three teeth in his hand;
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 he struck it into the pan, or the kettle, or the caldron, or the pot; [and] all that the fork brought up the priest took away with it. So did they unto all the Israelites that came thither, 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 they had yet burnt the fat, the priest's servant would come, and say to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not take from thee sodden flesh, but 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 the man said unto him, They will surely presently burn the fat, and then take whatever thy soul may long for: then would he say, No; but thou shalt give it me now; and if not, 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.
And the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord; for the men despised the offering of the Lord.
18 Amma yaron nan Sama’ila, yana hidima a gaban Ubangiji yana sanye da efod na lilin.
But Samuel was ministering before the Lord, being a lad, girded with 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.
Moreover his mother used to make him a little overcoat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly 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 blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, May the Lord give thee seed from this woman instead of the loan who is lent to the Lord. And they went back unto his place.
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.
And truly the Lord visited Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the lad Samuel grew up before 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 heard all that his sons were in the habit of doing unto all Israel; and how they would lie with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
23 Saboda haka ya ce musu, “Don me kuke yin waɗannan abubuwa? Na sami labari daga wurin mutane a kan duk ayyukan muguntanku.
And he said unto them, Why will ye do such things? for I hear of your evil dealings from all this people.
24 A’a,’ya’yana ba labari mai kyau nake ji cikin mutanen Ubangiji ba.
No, my sons; for the report that I hear is not good, which the Lord's people spread abroad.
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 one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him; but if against the Lord a man should sin, who shall pray for him? Nevertheless would they not hearken unto the voice of their father, because the Lord desired to slay them.
26 Yaron nan Sama’ila ya dinga girma cikin kwarjini da cikin tagomashi a gaba Ubangiji da mutane.
And the lad Samuel was constantly growing and increasing in favor both with the Lord, and also with men.
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?
And there came a man of God unto 'Eli, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Did I [not] appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt, in 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 did I [not] choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to me as a priest, to offer upon my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I [not] give unto the house of thy father all the fire-offerings of the children of Israel?
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?’
Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at my meat-offering, which I have commanded in [my] habitation? and [why] honoredst thou thy sons above me, to fatten yourselves with the first of every offering of Israel my people?
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 saith the Lord the God of Israel, I had indeed said, Thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever; but now, saith the Lord, Be it far from me; for those that honor me will I honor, and those that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
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, days are coming, that I will hew off thy arm, and the arm of thy father's house, so that there shall not be an old man in thy 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.
And thou shalt behold a rival in my habitation, in all that by which he will do good for Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thy house in all times.
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 yet I will not cut off the men descended from thee from my altar, to consume thy eyes, and to grieve thy soul: and all the increase of thy house shall die as [vigorous] 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 shall be unto thee the sign, that shall happen on thy two sons, on Chophni and Phinehas: On one day shall they, both of them, die.
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.
And I will raise up to me a faithful priest, who shall do in accordance with what is in my heart and in my mind; and I will build for him an enduring house; and he shall walk before my anointed in all times.
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 it shall come to pass, that whoever is left in thy house shall come to bow down to him for a gera of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say, Attach me, I pray thee, unto one of the priestly offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
