1 Sama’ila 3

1 Yaron nan Sama’ila ya yi hidima a gaban Ubangiji a ƙarƙashin Eli. A waɗannan kwanaki kuwa jin magana daga wurin Ubangiji ba safai ba, babu kuma wahayi da yawa.

And the boy Samuel ministered to Jehovah before Eli. And the word of Jehovah was rare in those days; a vision was not frequent.

2 Wata rana da dare Eli da idanunsa sun kusa makancewa har ba ya iya gani sosai yana kwance a inda ya saba.

And it came to pass at that time, when Eli lay in his place (now his eyes began to grow dim, he could not see),

3 Fitilar Allah kuwa tana ci, ba tă mutu ba tukuna, Sama’ila kuma na kwance a haikali na Ubangiji inda akwai akwatin Allah.

and the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel lay in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God was,

4 Sai Ubangiji ya kira Sama’ila. Sama’ila ya amsa ya ce, “Ga ni.”

that Jehovah called to Samuel. And he said, Here am I.

5 Sai ya ruga wajen Eli ya ce, “Ga ni, gama ka kira ni.” Eli ya ce, “Ɗana ban kira ba, je ka kwanta”. Saboda haka ya tafi ya kwanta.

And he ran to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call: lie down again. And he went and lay down.

6 Ubangiji ya sāke kiransa ya ce, “Sama’ila!” Sama’ila ya tashi kuma ya je wurin Eli ya ce, “Ga ni, gama ka kira ni.” Amma Eli ya ce, “Ban kira ka ba, ɗana koma ka kwanta.”

And Jehovah called again, Samuel! And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I did not call, my son: lie down again.

7 Sama’ila dai bai riga ya san Ubangiji ba tukuna. Ba a kuma taɓa bayyana maganar Ubangiji a gare shi ba tukuna ba.

Now Samuel did not yet know Jehovah, neither had the word of Jehovah yet been revealed to him.

8 Ubangiji ya kira Sama’ila sau na uku, Sama’ila kuma ya tashi ya tafi wurin Eli, “Ga ni, gama ka kira ni.” Sai Eli ya gane cewa Ubangiji ne ke kira yaron.

And Jehovah called again the third time, Samuel! And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And Eli perceived that Jehovah was calling the boy.

9 Saboda haka, Eli ya gaya wa Sama’ila cewa, “Je ka kwanta, in kuma ya kira ka, ka ce masa, ‘Ya Ubangiji ka yi magana gama bawanka yana saurara.’” Sama’ila ya koma ya kwanta a wurin kwanciyarsa.

And Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Jehovah, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 Ubangiji kuma ya zo ya tsaya a wurin, yana kira ya ce, “Sama’ila, Sama’ila!” Kamar yadda ya kira a lokutan baya. Sai Sama’ila ya ce, “Yi magana gama bawanka yana saurara.”

And Jehovah came, and stood, and called as at the other times, Samuel, Samuel! And Samuel said, Speak, for thy servant heareth.

11 Ubangiji ya ce wa Sama’ila, “Duba ina dab da yin wani abu a Isra’ila da zai sa kunne kowa da yake ji, yă ji tsoro.

And Jehovah said to Samuel, Behold, I do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.

12 A ranar zan cika dukan maganar da na yi game da Eli da iyalinsa, daga farko har ƙarshe.

In that day I will perform against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house; I will begin and make an end.

13 Gama na gaya masa zan hukunta gidansa har abada saboda zunubin da yake sane da shi;’ya’yansa sun wulaƙantar da kansu, shi kuma bai tsawata musu ba.

For I have declared to him that I will judge his house for ever, for the iniquity which he hath known: because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.

14 Saboda haka na rantse a kan gidan Eli, ‘Ba za a taɓa shafe laifin gidan Eli da hadaya ko baiko ba.’”

And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be expiated with sacrifice or oblation for ever.

15 Sama’ila kuwa ya kwanta har safe, sa’an nan ya buɗe ƙofofin gidan Ubangiji. Ya ji tsoro yă gaya wa Eli wahayin,

And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel feared to declare the vision to Eli.

16 amma Eli ya kira shi ya ce, “Sama’ila, ɗana.” Sama’ila ya ce, “Ga ni.”

And Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he said, Here am I.

17 Eli ya ce, mene ne ya ce maka? Kada ka ɓoye mini. Allah ya yi da kai har ma fiye in ka ɓoye mini kome da ya ce maka.

And he said, What is the word that he has spoken to thee? I pray thee, keep it not back from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou keep back anything from me of all the word that he spoke to thee.

18 Don haka sai Sama’ila ya gaya masa kome bai ɓoye masa kome ba. Sa’an nan Eli ya ce, “Shi ne Ubangiji bari yă yi abin da ya yi kyau a gare shi.”

And Samuel told him all the words, and kept nothing back from him. And he said, It is Jehovah: let him do what is good in his sight.

19 Ubangiji kuwa yana tare da Sama’ila har girmansa bai kuma bar ko ɗaya daga maganarsa ta kāsa cika ba.

And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him, and let none of his words fall to the ground.

20 Dukan Isra’ila daga Dan har Beyersheba suka shaida amincin Sama’ila annabi ne na Ubangiji.

And all Israel, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, knew that Samuel was established a prophet of Jehovah.

21 Ubangiji kuwa ya dinga bayyana a Shilo, a nan ya bayyana kansa ga Sama’ila ta wurin maganarsa.

And Jehovah appeared again at Shiloh; for Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel at Shiloh by the word of Jehovah.
