< 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.”
And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered together their armies for warfare to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, Know thou assuredly that thou shalt go out with me to the camp, thou and thy men.
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, Thereby thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of my person 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 had lamented him, and they had buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away the necromancers and the soothsayers out of the land.)
4 Filistiyawa suka tattaru suka yi sansani a Shunem. Shawulu ya tattara dukan Isra’ila suka yi sansani a Gilbowa.
And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.
5 Da Shawulu ya ga sojojin Filistiyawa sai ya ji tsoro, ya firgita ƙwarai.
And when Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
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 Saul inquired of Jehovah; but Jehovah did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by 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 said Saul to his servants, Seek me a woman that has a spirit of Python, that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman who has a spirit of Python 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.”
And Saul disguised himself, and put on other garments, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, I pray thee, divine to me by the spirit of Python, and bring me [him] up whom I shall name to thee.
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, Behold, thou knowest what Saul has done, how he has cut off the necromancers and the soothsayers out of the land; and why layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
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 swore unto her by Jehovah, saying, [As] Jehovah liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
11 Sai matar ta ce, “Wa kake so in hauro maka?” Sai ya ce, “Ki hauro mini da Sama’ila.”
Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up to thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
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 when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? Even thou art 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, Be not afraid; but what didst thou see? And the woman said to Saul, I saw a god ascending 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, An old man comes up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul knew that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
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 hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul said, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answers me no more, neither by prophets nor by dreams; therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known to me what I shall do.
16 Sama’ila ya ce, “Don me kake tambayata bayan Ubangiji ya rabu da kai? Ya zama maƙiyinka?
And Samuel said, Why then dost thou inquire of me, seeing Jehovah is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
17 Ubangiji ya cika abin da ya yi magana ta wurina. Ubangiji ya fizge mulki daga hannunka, ya ba maƙwabcinka Dawuda.
And Jehovah has done for himself as he spoke by me; and Jehovah has rent the kingdom out of thy hand, and given it to thy neighbour, to 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 thou didst not hearken to the voice of Jehovah, and didst not execute his fierce anger upon Amalek, therefore has Jehovah done this thing to thee this day.
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 Jehovah will also give Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines; and to-morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me; the army of Israel also will Jehovah give into the hand 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.
And Saul fell straightway his full length on the earth, and was sore afraid because of the words of Samuel; and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all the day nor all the 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 sore troubled, and said to him, Behold, thy bondmaid has hearkened to thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened to thy words which thou spokest to me.
22 To, kai ma ka kasa kunne ga baranyarka, zan ba ka abinci ka ci don ka sami ƙarfin tafiya.”
And now, I pray thee, hearken thou also to the voice of thy bondmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength when thou goest on thy 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 refused and said, I will not eat. Then his servants, and the woman also, compelled him, and he hearkened to their voice; and he arose from the earth and sat 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 a fat calf in the house; and she hasted and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread thereof;
25 Sai ta kawo wa Shawulu da bayinsa suka kuwa ci. A daren nan suka tashi suka tafi.
and she brought it near before Saul, and before his servants, and they ate. And they rose up and went away that night.
