1 Sama’ila 7

1 Mutanen Kiriyat Yeyarim suka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji. Suka kai a gidan Abinadab da ke kan tudu, suka keɓe Eleyazar ɗansa yă lura da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji.

And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and brought up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

2 Akwatin Alkawarin ya daɗe a Kiriyat Yeyarim ya kai shekara ashirin cif. Sai dukan mutanen Isra’ila suka yi makoki suka nemi Ubangiji.

And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

3 Saboda haka Sama’ila ya yi magana da dukan gidan Isra’ila ya ce, in har da zuciya ɗaya kuke juyowa ga Ubangiji sai ku raba kanku da baƙin alloli da gunkin nan Ashtarot, ku ba da kanku ga Ubangiji. Ku yi masa bauta shi kaɗai, zai kuɓutar da ku daga hannun Filistiyawa.

And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return to the LORD with all your hearts, [then] put away the strange gods, and Ashtaroth, from among you, and prepare your hearts to the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.

4 Sai Isra’ilawa suka rabu da gumakan Ba’al da Ashtarot suka bauta wa Ubangiji kaɗai.

Then the children of Israel put away Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.

5 Sama’ila ya ce, “Ku tattara dukan Isra’ila a Mizfa, ni kuwa zan yi addu’a ga Ubangiji dominku.”

And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you to the LORD.

6 Sa’ad da suka taru a Mizfa, suka kawo ruwa suka zuba a gaban Ubangiji. A wannan rana suka yi azumi suka tuba, suka ce, “Mun yi wa Ubangiji zunubi!” Sama’ila kuwa ya zauna a Mizfa ya yi mulkin Isra’ilawa.

And they assembled at Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured [it] out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and there said, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.

7 Da Filistiyawa suka ji cewa Isra’ila sun taru a Mizfa, sai shugabanninsu suka zo don su yaƙe Isra’ila. Da Isra’ilawa suka ji labarin, sai suka tsorata saboda Filistiyawa.

And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were assembled at Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard [it], they were afraid of the Philistines.

8 Suka ce wa Sama’ila, “Kada ka fasa kai kukanmu ga Ubangiji Allahnmu saboda mu, don yă cece mu daga hannun Filistiyawa.”

And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry to the LORD our God for us, that he will save us from the hand of the Philistines.

9 Sama’ila ya kama ɗan rago ya miƙa shi ɗungum hadaya ta ƙonawa ga Ubangiji. Ya yi roƙo ga Ubangiji a madadin Isra’ila, Ubangiji kuwa ya amsa addu’arsa.

And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered [it for] a burnt-offering wholly to the LORD: and Samuel cried to the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.

10 Lokacin da Sama’ila yana miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa, Filistiyawa suka matso kusa don su yi yaƙi da Isra’ila. A ranar Ubangiji ya sa babban tsawa ya ruɗar da Filistiyawa har suka gudu a gaban Isra’ilawa.

And as Samuel was offering the burnt-offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.

11 Isra’ilawa suka fito a guje daga Mizfa suka fafari Filistiyawa suka yi ta karkashe su a hanya har kwarin Bet-Kar.

And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until [they came] under Beth-car.

12 Sa’an nan Sama’ila ya ɗauki dutse ya kafa tsakanin Mizfa da Shen, ya sa masa suna, Ebenezer ma’ana, “Har zuwa wannan lokaci Ubangiji ya taimake mu.”

Then Samuel took a stone, and set [it] between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.

13 Ta haka Isra’ilawa suka ci Filistiyawa. Daga ranan Filistiyawa ba su ƙara yin nasara a kan Isra’ila ba. Ubangiji ya yi gāba da Filistiyawa har ƙarshen zamanin Sama’ila.

So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the borders of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

14 Filistiyawa suka mayar wa Isra’ila da garuruwan da suka ƙwato, wato, daga Ekron zuwa Gat, dukan yankin ƙasarsu da yake ƙarƙashin ikon Filistiyawa. Aka kuma sami zaman lafiya tsakanin Isra’ilawa da Amoriyawa.

And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath; and the borders of it did Israel deliver from the hands of the Philistines: and there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

15 Sama’ila kuwa ya ci gaba da mulkin Isra’ila dukan rayuwarsa.

And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

16 Shekara-shekara Sama’ila yakan fita rangadi zuwa Betel, da Gilgal da Mizfa inda yakan yi musu shari’a.

And he went from year to year in circuit to Beth-el, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.

17 Amma yakan komo Rama inda gidansa yake, a nan yakan yi wa Isra’ila shari’a. A nan ne kuma ya gina wa Ubangiji bagade.

And his return [was] to Ramah; for there [was] his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar to the LORD.
