< 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.”
In those days, the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. Achish said to David, “Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the army, you and your 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.”
David said to Achish, “Therefore you will know what your servant can do.” Achish said to David, “Therefore I will make you my bodyguard forever.”
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 mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. Saul had sent away those who had familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land.
4 Filistiyawa suka tattaru suka yi sansani a Shunem. Shawulu ya tattara dukan Isra’ila suka yi sansani a Gilbowa.
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.
When Saul saw the army of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
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.
When Saul inquired of Yahweh, Yahweh didn’t answer him by dreams, 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 Saul said to his servants, “Seek for me a woman who has a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants said to him, “Behold, there is a woman who has a familiar spirit at Endor.”
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.”
Saul disguised himself and put on other clothing, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. Then he said, “Please consult for me by the familiar spirit, and bring me up whomever I shall name to you.”
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?”
The woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who have familiar spirits and the wizards out of the land. Why then do you lay 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.”
Saul swore to her by Yahweh, saying, “As Yahweh lives, no punishment will happen to you for this thing.”
11 Sai matar ta ce, “Wa kake so in hauro maka?” Sai ya ce, “Ki hauro mini da Sama’ila.”
Then the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up to you?” He said, “Bring Samuel 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!”
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? 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.”
The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! What do you see?” 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.
He said to her, “What does he look like?” She said, “An old man comes up. He is covered with a robe.” Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed with his face to the ground, and showed respect.
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.”
Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me, to bring me up?” Saul answered, “I am very distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me, and answers me no more, by prophets, or by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may 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?
Samuel said, “Why then do you ask me, since Yahweh has departed from you and has become your adversary?
17 Ubangiji ya cika abin da ya yi magana ta wurina. Ubangiji ya fizge mulki daga hannunka, ya ba maƙwabcinka Dawuda.
Yahweh has done to you as he spoke by me. Yahweh has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, even 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 you didn’t obey Yahweh’s voice, and didn’t execute his fierce wrath on Amalek, therefore Yahweh 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.”
Moreover Yahweh will deliver Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines; and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Yahweh will deliver the army of Israel also 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.
Then Saul fell immediately his full length on the earth, and was terrified, because of Samuel’s words. There was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all day long or all night long.
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.
The woman came to Saul and saw that he was very troubled, and said to him, “Behold, your servant has listened to your voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.
22 To, kai ma ka kasa kunne ga baranyarka, zan ba ka abinci ka ci don ka sami ƙarfin tafiya.”
Now therefore, please listen also to the voice of your servant, and let me set a morsel of bread before you. Eat, that you may have 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 refused, and said, “I will not eat.” But his servants, together with the woman, constrained him; and he listened to their voice. So 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.
The woman had a fattened calf in the house. She hurried and killed it; and she took flour and kneaded it, and baked unleavened bread of it.
25 Sai ta kawo wa Shawulu da bayinsa suka kuwa ci. A daren nan suka tashi suka tafi.
She brought it before Saul and before his servants, and they ate. Then they rose up and went away that night.
