1 Sama’ila 4
1 Duk sa’ad da Sama’ila ya yi magana dukan Isra’ila sukan saurare shi. Isra’ilawa suka fita yaƙi da Filistiyawa. Isra’ilawa suka kafa sansani a Ebenezer, Filistiyawa kuma a Afek.
The word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
2 Filistiyawa suka tunƙuro mayaƙansu domin su sadu da Isra’ilawa, yaƙi kuwa ya yi tsanani har Isra’ilawa suka sha kashi a hannun Filistiyawa. Filistiyawa suka kashe Isra’ilawa kusan mutum dubu huɗu a bakin dāgā.
The Philistines put themselves in array against Israel. When they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field.
3 Lokacin da mayaƙan suka komo sansani, dattawan Isra’ilawa suka yi tambaya suka ce, “Me ya sa Ubangiji ya sa muka sha ɗibga a hannun Filistiyawa? Bari mu kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji daga Shilo. Domin yă tafi tare da mu yă ba mu nasara kan abokan gābanmu.”
When the people had come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has Yahweh defeated us today before the Philistines? Let’s get the ark of Yahweh’s covenant out of Shiloh and bring it to us, that it may come among us and save us out of the hand of our enemies.”
4 Saboda haka mutanen suka aika waɗansu maza zuwa Shilo, suka kuwa tafi suka kawo akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji Maɗaukaki wanda yake zaune tsakanin Kerubobi.’Ya’yan Eli biyun nan Hofni da Finehas suna wurin tare da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji.
So the people sent to Shiloh, and they brought from there the ark of the covenant of Yahweh of Armies, who sits above the cherubim; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
5 Da aka shigo da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji a cikin sansani, sai Isra’ilawa suka tā da babbar murya har ƙasa ta jijjiga.
When the ark of Yahweh’s covenant came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth resounded.
6 Da jin wannan, Filistiyawa suka yi tambaya suka ce, “Me ke kawo wannan ihu mai ƙarfi haka a sansanin Isra’ilawa?” Da suka gane cewa akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji ne ya shiga sansanin,
When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, “What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?” They understood that Yahweh’s ark had come into the camp.
7 sai Filistiyawa suka ji tsoro, suka ce, “Wani allah ya shiga cikin sansanin. Mun shiga uku! Ba a taɓa yin wani abu haka ba.
The Philistines were afraid, for they said, “God has come into the camp.” They said, “Woe to us! For there has not been such a thing before.
8 Kaiton mu! Wa zai kuɓutar da mu daga hannun waɗannan manyan alloli? Su ne allolin da suka buga Masarawa da irin annoba masu yawa a jeji.
Woe to us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods that struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.
9 Ku yi ƙarfin hali, ku yi mazantaka, ku Filistiyawa, domin kada ku zama bayin Ibraniyawa kamar yadda suke a gare ku. Ku yi mazantaka, ku yi yaƙi.”
Be strong and behave like men, O you Philistines, that you not be servants to the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Strengthen yourselves like men, and fight!”
10 Saboda haka Filistiyawa suka yi yaƙi, Isra’ilawa kuwa suka sha ɗibga, kowane mutum kuwa ya gudu zuwa tentinsa. Kisan kuwa ya yi muni ƙwarai. Isra’ilawa sun rasa mayaƙa dubu talatin.
The Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and each man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter; for thirty thousand footmen of Israel fell.
11 Aka ƙwace akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji. Aka kuma kashe’ya’yan Eli biyu, Hofni da Finehas.
God’s ark was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
12 A wannan rana wani mutumin Benyamin ya ruga da bakin dāgā ya shigo Shilo, taguwarsa a yage, kansa kuma a rufe da ƙasa.
A man of Benjamin ran out of the army and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head.
13 Da ya iso sai ga Eli zaune a kujera kusa da hanya yana kallo, domin tsoron da yake da shi saboda akwatin alkawarin Allah. Da mutumin ya shigo a garin ya ba da labarin abin da ya faru sai dukan gari ya ruɗe da ihu.
When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road watching, for his heart trembled for God’s ark. When the man came into the city and told about it, all the city cried out.
14 Eli ya ji ihun ya yi tambaya ya ce, mene ne dalilin wannan ihu? Mutumin ya rugo wurin Eli,
When Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, “What does the noise of this tumult mean?” The man hurried, and came and told Eli.
15 wanda yake da shekaru tasa’in da takwas da haihuwa, idanunsa kuma ƙarfi ya ƙare, baya iya gani.
Now Eli was ninety-eight years old. His eyes were set, so that he could not see.
16 Mutumin ya gaya wa Eli cewa, “Shigowata ke nan daga bakin dāgā. Na kuɓuce daga can yau ɗin nan.” Eli ya ce, “Me ya faru da’ya’yana?”
The man said to Eli, “I am he who came out of the army, and I fled today out of the army.” He said, “How did the matter go, my son?”
17 Mutumin da ya kawo labarin ya ce, “Isra’ilawa sun gudu a gaban Filistiyawa, mayaƙan kuma sun sha mummunar ɗibga.’Ya’yanka Hofni da Finehas su ma sun mutu. Aka kuma ƙwace akwatin alkawarin Allah.”
He who brought the news answered, “Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been also a great slaughter among the people. Your two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and God’s ark has been captured.”
18 Da ya ambaci akwatin alkawarin Allah, sai Eli ya fāɗi da baya daga kujeransa kusa da ƙofa, wuyarsa ta karye, ya kuma mutu domin ya tsufa ƙwarai. Ya yi shugabancin Isra’ila shekaru arba’in.
When he made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died, for he was an old man and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.
19 Matar Finehas, ɗansa tana da ciki a lokacin ta kuma kusa haihuwa. Sa’ad da ta ji labari cewa an ƙwace akwatin alkawarin Allah, ta kuma labarin surukinta da mijinta sun mutu, sai ta shiga naƙuda, ta kuma haihu. Amma naƙuda ta sha ƙarfinta.
His daughter-in-law, Phinehas’ wife, was with child, near to giving birth. When she heard the news that God’s ark was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and gave birth; for her pains came on her.
20 Da tana mutuwa, matan da suke lura da ita suka ce, “Kada ki karaya kin haifi ɗa namiji.” Amma ba tă ba da amsa ko tă kula ba.
About the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, “Don’t be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she didn’t answer, neither did she regard it.
21 Ta ba wa yaron suna Ikabod, ma’ana “Ɗaukaka ta rabu da Isra’ila”, domin an ƙwace akwatin alkawarin Allah, domin kuma mutuwar surukinta da na mijinta.
She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because God’s ark was taken, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
22 Ta ce, “Ɗaukaka ta rabu da Isra’ila, gama an ƙwace akwatin alkawarin Allah.”
She said, “The glory has departed from Israel; for God’s ark has been taken.”
