1 Sama’ila 28
1 Filistiyawa suka tattara sojojinsu domin su yaƙi Isra’ila. Akish ya ce wa Dawuda, “Sai ka sani fa, kai da mutanenka za ku tafi tare da ni da sojojina.”
Now in those days the Philistines got their forces together to make war on Israel. And Achish said to David, Certainly you and your men are to go out with me to the fight.
2 Dawuda ya ce, “Kai da kanka za ka ga abin da bawanka zai yi.” Akish ya ce, “Da kyau, zan sa ka zama mai kāre ni.”
And David said to Achish, You will see now what your servant will do. And Achish said to David, Then I will make you keeper of my head for ever.
3 Sama’ila dai ya riga ya rasu, dukan Isra’ila suka yi makokinsa suka binne shi a garinsa a Rama. Shawulu kuma ya kori duk masu duba da masu maitanci daga ƙasar.
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel, after weeping for him, had put his body in its last resting-place in Ramah, his town. And Saul had put away from the land all those who had control of spirits and who made use of secret arts.
4 Filistiyawa suka tattaru suka yi sansani a Shunem. Shawulu ya tattara dukan Isra’ila suka yi sansani a Gilbowa.
And the Philistines came together and put their forces in position in Shunem; and Saul got all Israel together and they took up their positions in Gilboa.
5 Da Shawulu ya ga sojojin Filistiyawa sai ya ji tsoro, ya firgita ƙwarai.
And when Saul saw the Philistine army he was troubled, and his heart was moved with fear.
6 Ya nemi nufin Ubangiji amma bai sami amsa daga wurin Ubangiji ko ta wurin mafarki, ko ta wurin Urim, ko ta wurin annabawa ba.
And when Saul went for directions to the Lord, the Lord gave him no answer, by a dream or by the Urim or by the prophets.
7 Shawulu ya ce wa fadawansa, “Ku nemo mini wata mace mai duba domin in tafi wurinta in yi tambaya.” Suka ce, “Akwai guda a En Dor.”
Then Saul said to his servants, Get me a woman who has control of a spirit so that I may go to her and get directions. And his servants said to him, There is such a woman at En-dor.
8 Sai Shawulu ya sa waɗansu tufafi ya ɓad da kama, shi da waɗansu mutum biyu suka tafi wurin matar da dare, ya ce mata, “Ki yi mini duba ta hanyar sihiri, ki hawar mini duk wanda zan faɗa miki.”
So Saul, putting on other clothing, so that he might not be seen to be the king, took two men with him and went to the woman by night; and he said, Now, with the help of the spirit which you have, make the person whose name I will give you come up.
9 Amma matar ta ce masa, “Tabbatacce ka dai san abin da Shawulu ya yi, ya karkashe masu duba da masu maitanci a ƙasar. Me ya sa kake sa mini tarko, don ka sa a kashe ni?”
And the woman said to him, But you have knowledge of what Saul has done, how he has put away out of the land those who have control of spirits and the users of secret arts: why would you, by a trick, put me in danger of death?
10 Shawulu ya rantse mata da Ubangiji. Ya ce, “Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, ba za a hukunta ki a kan wannan ba.”
And Saul made an oath to her by the Lord, saying, By the living Lord, no punishment will come to you for this.
11 Sai matar ta ce, “Wa kake so in hauro maka?” Sai ya ce, “Ki hauro mini da Sama’ila.”
Then the woman said, Who am I to let you see? And he said, Make Samuel come up for me.
12 Da matar ta ga Sama’ila sai ta yi ihu da ƙarfi ta ce wa Shawulu, “Me ya sa ka ruɗe ni? Kai ne Shawulu!”
And the woman saw that it was Saul, and she gave a loud cry, and said to Saul, Why have you made use of deceit? for you are Saul.
13 Sai sarki ya ce mata, “Kada ki ji tsoro. Me kika gani?” Matar ta ce, “Na ga wani kurwa tana fitowa daga ƙasa.”
And the king said to her, Have no fear: what do you see? And the woman said to Saul, I see a god coming up out of the earth.
14 Ya ce, “Yaya kamanninsa yake?” Ta ce, “Wani tsoho sanye da taguwa ne yake haurawa.” Shawulu ya gane cewa Sama’ila ne, sai ya rusuna da fuskarsa har ƙasa.
And he said to her, What is his form? And she said, It is an old man coming up covered with a robe. And Saul saw that it was Samuel, and with his face bent down to the earth he gave him honour.
15 Sama’ila ya ce wa Shawulu, “Don me ka dame ni, ta wurin hauro da ni?” Shawulu ya ce, “Ina cikin babban damuwa ce, Filistiyawa sun fāɗa mini, Allah kuma ya juya mini baya. Bai amsa mini, ko ta mafarki, ko kuma ta annabawa ba, saboda haka na kira ka don ka gaya mini abin yi.”
And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you made me come up, troubling my rest? And Saul in answer said, I am in great danger; for the Philistines are making war on me, and God has gone away from me and will no longer give me any answer, by the prophets or by dreams: so I have sent for you to make clear to me what I am to do.
16 Sama’ila ya ce, “Don me kake tambayata bayan Ubangiji ya rabu da kai? Ya zama maƙiyinka?
And Samuel said, Why do you put your questions to me, seeing that God has gone away from you and is on the side of him who is against you?
17 Ubangiji ya cika abin da ya yi magana ta wurina. Ubangiji ya fizge mulki daga hannunka, ya ba maƙwabcinka Dawuda.
And the Lord himself has done what I said: the Lord has taken the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbour David;
18 Gama ba ka yi biyayya ga Ubangiji ba, ba ka zartar da hukuncinsa mai zafi a kan Amalekawa ba. Saboda haka Ubangiji ya yi maka haka yau.
Because you did not do what the Lord said, and did not give effect to his burning wrath against Amalek. So the Lord has done this thing to you today.
19 Ubangiji zai ba da Isra’ila da kuma kai ga Filistiyawa, gobe kuwa da kai da’ya’yanka za ku kasance tare da ni. Ubangiji kuma zai ba da sojojin Isra’ila a hannun Filistiyawa.”
And more than this, the Lord will give Israel up with you into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me: and the Lord will give up the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.
20 Da jin maganar Sama’ila sai Shawulu ya faɗi ƙasa warwas. Tsoro ya kama shi ƙwarai. Ba shi kuma da ƙarfi domin bai ci kome ba dukan yini da kuma dukan dare.
Then Saul went down flat on the earth, and was full of fear because of Samuel's words: and there was no strength in him, for he had taken no food all that day or all that night.
21 Da matar ta zo wurin Shawulu, ta ga shi a firgice, sai ta ce masa, “Duba baranyarka ta yi maka biyayya ta yi kasai da ranta, ta yi abin da ka ce ta yi.
And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was in great trouble, and said to him, See now, your servant has given ear to your words, and I have put my life in danger by doing what you said.
22 To, kai ma ka kasa kunne ga baranyarka, zan ba ka abinci ka ci don ka sami ƙarfin tafiya.”
So now, give ear to the voice of your servant, and let me give you a little bread; and take some food to give you strength when you go on your way.
23 Sai ya ƙi. Ya ce, “Ba zan ci abinci ba.” Sai da bayinsa da matar suka roƙe shi, sa’an nan ya ji maganarsu, ya tashi daga ƙasa, ya zauna a bakin gado.
But he would not, saying, I have no desire for food. But his servants, together with the woman, made him take food, and he gave way to them. So he got up from the earth, and took his seat on the bed.
24 Matar kuwa tana da maraƙin da take kiwo a gida, sai ta ɗauke shi nan da nan ta yanka. Ta ɗauki garin fulawa ta kwaɓa, ta yi waina marar yisti.
And the woman had in the house a young cow, made fat for food; and she put it to death straight away; and she took meal and got it mixed and made unleavened bread;
25 Sai ta kawo wa Shawulu da bayinsa suka kuwa ci. A daren nan suka tashi suka tafi.
And she put it before Saul and his servants, and they had a meal. Then they got up and went away the same night.
