< Joshua 6 >
1 Now Jericho was closely shut up and besieged, and none went out of it, and none came in.
Ƙofofin Yeriko kuwa a kulle suke ciki da waje saboda Isra’ilawa, ba mai fita babu kuma mai shiga.
2 And the Lord said to Joshua, Behold, I deliver Jericho into your power, and its king in it, [and its] mighty men.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Duba, na ba ka nasara a kan Yeriko, duk da sarkinta da mayaƙanta.
3 And do you set the men of war round about it.
Da kai da dukan sojoji, ku zaga birnin sau ɗaya kullum. Ku yi haka har kwana shida.
4 And it shall be [that] when you shall sound with the trumpet, all the people shall shout together.
Ka sa firistoci guda bakwai su riƙe ƙahoni raguna su kasance a gaban akwatin alkawari. A rana ta bakwai sai ku zaga birnin sau bakwai, firistocin suna busa ƙahoni.
5 And when they have shouted, the walls of the city shall fall of themselves; and all the people shall enter, each one rushing direct into the city.
Sa’ad da kuka ji sun ɗauki dogon lokaci suna busa ƙaho, sai mutane gaba ɗaya su tā da murya su yi ihu da ƙarfi; katangar birnin kuwa za tă rushe, sai sojoji su haura, ko wanne yă nufi inda ya fuskanta kai tsaye.”
6 And Joshua the [son] of Naue went in to the priests, and spoke to them, saying,
Yoshuwa ɗan Nun kuwa ya kira firistoci ya ce musu, “Ku ɗauki akwatin alkawari, ku sa firistoci guda bakwai su riƙe ƙahoni su kasance a gabansa.”
7 And let seven priests having seven sacred trumpets proceed thus before the Lord, and let them sound loudly; and let the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow.
Sai ya umarci jama’a ya ce, “Mu je zuwa! Ku zaga birnin, masu tsaro da makamai su shiga gaban akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji.”
8 Charge the people to go round, and encompass the city; and let your men of war pass on armed before the Lord.
Da Yoshuwa ya gama yin wa mutane magana, sai firistoci guda bakwai waɗanda suke riƙe da ƙahoni guda bakwai a gaban Ubangiji suka sha gaba suna busa ƙahoninsu, akwatin alkawari kuwa yana biye da su.
9 And let the men of war proceed before, and the priests bringing up the rear behind the ark of the covenant of the Lord [proceed] sounding the trumpets.
Masu tsaro da makamai kuma suna gaban firistoci waɗanda suke busa ƙahoni, masu tsaro daga baya kuma suna bin akwatin alkawari, ana ta busa ƙahoni.
10 And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Cry not out, nor let any one hear your voice, until he himself declare to you the time to cry out, and then you shall cry out.
Amma Yoshuwa ya umarci mutane ya ce, “Kada ku yi kururuwar yaƙi, kada ku tā da murya, kada ku ce kome, sai ranar da na ce ku yi ihu, a sa’an nan ne sai ku yi ihu!”
11 And the ark of the covenant of God having gone round immediately returned into the camp, and lodged there.
Sai ya sa aka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji aka kewaye birnin da shi sau ɗaya, sa’an nan mutane suka dawo masauƙinsu suka kwana a can.
12 And on the second day Joshua rose up in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
Kashegari, Yoshuwa ya tashi da sassafe, firistoci kuma suka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji.
13 And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets went on before the Lord; and afterwards the men of war went on, and the remainder of the multitude went after the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
Firistoci guda bakwai waɗanda suke riƙe da ƙahoni guda bakwai suka shiga gaba, suna takawa a gaban akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji suna kuma busa ƙahoni, masu tsaro ɗauke da makamai suna gabansu, sai masu tsaro da suke baya suna biye da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji.
14 And all the rest of the multitude compassed the city six times from within a short distance, and went back again into the camp; this they did six days.
A rana ta biyu suka sāke zaga birnin sau ɗaya, suka kuma koma masauƙinsu. Haka suka yi har kwana shida.
15 And on the seventh day they rose up early, and compassed the city on that day seven times.
A rana ta bakwai, suka tashi da sassafe suka zaga birnin sau bakwai yadda suka saba. A wannan rana kaɗai ne suka zaga birnin sau bakwai.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh circuit the priests blew the trumpets; and Joshua said to the children of Israel, Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.
A zagawa ta bakwai, da firistoci suka busa ƙahoni, sai Yoshuwa ya ba sojojin umarni ya ce, “Ku yi ihu, gama Ubangiji ya ba ku birnin!
17 And the city shall be devoted, it and all things that are in it, to the Lord of Hosts: only do you save Raab the harlot, and all things in her house.
Birnin da dukan abin da yake cikinta za a miƙa su ga Ubangiji. Rahab karuwan nan kaɗai ce, da dukan waɗanda suke tare da ita a gidanta za a bari da rai domin ta ɓoye’yan leƙen asirin ƙasa da muka aika.
18 But keep yourselves strictly from the accursed thing, lest you set your mind upon and take of the accursed thing, and you make the camp of the children of Israel and accursed thing, and destroy us.
Amma, ba za ku ɗauki wani abin da za a hallaka ba, idan kuka yi haka, za ku jawo masifa da hallaka a kan mutanen Isra’ila a inda kuka sauka.
19 And all the silver, or gold, or brass, or iron, shall be holy to the Lord; it shall be carried into the treasury of the Lord.
Dukan azurfa da zinariya, da kwanonin tagulla da na ƙarfe, keɓaɓɓu ne ga Ubangiji, dole a sa su cikin ma’ajin Ubangiji.”
20 And the priests sounded with the trumpets: and when the people heard the trumpets, all the people shouted at once with a loud and strong shout; and all the wall fell round about, and all the people went up into the city:
Da aka busa ƙahoni, sojoji suka yi ihu, da jin ƙarar ƙahoni, mutane suka kuma yi ihu, sai katangar ta rushe; dukan mutanen kuwa suka shiga birnin kai tsaye, suka yi nasara a kanta.
21 and Joshua devoted it to destruction, and all things that were in the city, man and woman, young man and old, and calf and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Suka miƙa wa Ubangiji birnin, suka hallaka kowane abu mai ran da yake cikin birnin da takobi, maza da mata, yara da tsofaffi, shanu, tumaki da jakuna.
22 And Joshua said to the two young men who had acted a spies, Go into the house of the woman, and bring her out thence, and all that she has.
Yoshuwa ya ce wa mutanen nan biyu waɗanda suka je leƙen asirin ƙasar, “Ku shiga gidan karuwan nan ku fitar da ita da duk waɗanda suke nata bisa ga alkawarin da kuka yi mata.”
23 And the two young men who had spied out the city entered into the house of the woman, and brought out Raab the harlot, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and her kindred, and all that she had; and they set her without the camp of Israel.
Sai samarin waɗanda suka je leƙen asirin suka shiga suka fitar da Rahab, mahaifinta da mahaifiyarta, da’yan’uwanta da duk abin da yake nata. Suka fitar da iyalinta gaba ɗaya suka sa su a wani wuri, ba a cikin masauƙin Isra’ilawa ba.
24 And the city was burnt with fire with all things that were in it; only of the silver, and gold, and brass, and iron, they gave to be brought into the treasury of the Lord.
Sa’an nan suka ƙona birnin tare da dukan abin da yake ciki tatas, amma suka sa azurfa da zinariya da kayan tagulla da na ƙarfe a cikin ma’aji na haikalin Ubangiji.
25 And Joshua saved alive Raab the harlot, and all the house of her father, and caused her to dwell in Israel until this day, because she hid the spies which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Amma Yoshuwa ya bar Rahab karuwan nan bai kashe ta ba, ita da iyalinta da duk abin da yake nata, domin ita ta ɓoye mutanen da Yoshuwa ya aika Yeriko don su leƙo asirin ƙasar kuma ta zauna tare da Isra’ilawa har wa yau.
26 And Joshua adjured [them] on that day before the Lord, saying, Cursed [be] the man who shall build that city: he shall lay the foundation of it in his firstborn, and he shall set up the gates of it in his youngest son. And so did Hozan of Baethel; he laid the foundation in Abiron his firstborn, and set up the gates of it in his youngest surviving son.
A lokacin nan Yoshuwa ya yi wannan alkawari cewa, “Ubangiji zai tsine wa mutumin da zai yi ƙoƙarin sāke gina birnin nan, Yeriko. “A bakin ran ɗan farinsa zai kafa harsashin birnin; a bakin ran ɗan autansa kuma zai sa ƙofofin birnin.”
27 And the Lord was with Joshua, and his name was in all the land.
Ubangiji ya kasance tare da Yoshuwa, aka kuma san da shi a duk fāɗin ƙasar.
