< Deuteronomy 4 >
1 And now, Israel, hearken to the statutes and to the ordinances which I teach you, to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers giveth you.
To, ku ji, ya Isra’ila, ku kasa kunne ga ƙa’idodi da dokokin da nake shirin koya muku. Ku bi su domin ku yi tsawon rai, ku kuma shiga ku mallaki ƙasar da Ubangiji, Allahn kakanninku yake ba ku.
2 Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye take from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you.
Kada ku ƙara, kada ku rage daga cikin abin da nake umarce ku. Amma ku kiyaye umarnan nan na Ubangiji Allahnku, da na ba ku.
3 Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-Peor; for all the men that followed Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed them from among you;
Da idanunku, kun ga abin da Ubangiji ya yi a Ba’al-Feyor. Yadda Ubangiji Allahnku ya hallaka waɗansu daga cikinku waɗanda suka yi wa Ba’al-Feyor sujada,
4 but ye that did cleave to Jehovah your God are alive every one of you this day.
Amma ku da kuka manne ga Ubangiji Allahnku, kuna da rai har wa yau.
5 See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that ye may do so in the land into which ye enter to possess it.
Ga shi, na koya muku ƙa’idodi da dokoki, yadda Ubangiji Allahna ya umarce ni, don ku bi su a ƙasar da za ku shiga ku mallaki.
6 And ye shall keep and do them; for that will be your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples that shall hear all these statutes, and say, Verily this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Ku kiyaye su, ku aikata su, gama yin haka zai tabbatar wa sauran al’ummai, kuna da hikima da ganewa. Sa’ad da al’ummai za su ji waɗannan dokoki, za su ce, “Ba shakka, wannan babbar al’umma tana da hikima da ganewa.”
7 For what great nation is there that hath God near to them as Jehovah our God is in everything we call upon him for?
Wace al’umma ce mai girma haka wadda allolinta take kusa da su yadda Ubangiji Allahnmu yake kusa da mu a duk sa’ad da muka yi addu’a gare shi?
8 And what great nation is there that hath righteous statutes and ordinances, as all this law which I set before you this day?
Wace al’umma ce mai girma haka wadda take da ƙa’idodi da dokoki masu adalci kamar waɗannan ƙunshin dokokin da nake sa a gabanku a yau?
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things that thine eyes have seen (and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but thou shalt make them known to thy sons and to thy sons' sons),
Ku kula, ku kuma lura da kanku sosai, don kada ku manta da abubuwan da idanunku suka gani, ko kuwa ku bari su fita daga zuciyarku muddin ranku. Ku koyar da su ga’ya’yanku, da’ya’yan’ya’yanku.
10 the day that thou stoodest before Jehovah thy God in Horeb, when Jehovah said to me, Gather me the people together, that I may cause them to hear my words, that they may learn them, and fear me all the days that they live upon the earth, and teach them to their children.
Ku tuna da ranar da kuka tsaya a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku a Horeb, sa’ad da ya ce mini, “Ka tara mutane a gabana, don su ji maganata, su koya yin mini bangirma muddin ransu a ƙasar, su kuma iya koyar da su ga’ya’yansu.”
11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and obscurity.
Sai kuka matso kusa, kuka tsaya a gindin dutse yayinda yana cin wuta har zuwa sararin sama, ga kuma baƙin gizagizai da kuma baƙin duhu.
12 And Jehovah spoke to you from the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but ye saw no form; only [ye heard] a voice.
Sai Ubangiji ya yi magana daga wutar. Kuka ji furcin kalmomin, amma ba ku ga siffar kome ba, sai dai murya kaɗai kuka ji.
13 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, the ten words; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.
Ya furta alkawarinsa gare ku, Dokoki Goma, waɗanda ya umarce ku ku bi, ya kuma rubuta su a alluna biyu.
14 And Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it.
Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya umarce ni a wannan lokaci, in koya muku ƙa’idodi da dokokin da za ku bi a ƙasar da kuke hayewa Urdun don mallake.
15 And take great heed to your souls (for ye saw no form on the day that Jehovah spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire),
Ba ku ga wata siffa a ranar da Ubangiji ya yi magana da ku a Horeb daga wuta ba. Saboda haka ku lura da kanku sosai,
16 lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the form of any figure, the pattern of male or female,
don kada ku lalace, ku kuma yi wa kanku gunki, siffa ta wani kama, ko a kamannin namiji, ko kuwa ta mace,
17 the pattern of any beast that is on the earth, the pattern of any winged fowl that flieth in the heaven,
ko a kamannin wata dabba a duniya, ko na wani tsuntsun da yake tashi a sama,
18 the pattern of anything that creepeth on the ground, the pattern of any fish that is in the waters under the earth;
ko kuwa a kamannin wata halittar da take rarrafe a ƙasa, ko na wani kifi a cikin ruwaye a ƙarƙashi.
19 and lest thou lift up thine eyes to the heavens, and see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, the whole host of heaven, and be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath assigned unto all peoples under the whole heaven.
Sa’ad da kuka ɗaga ido kuka kali sama, kuka ga rana da wata, da taurari, da dukan halittun sama, sai ku kula fa, kada ku jarrabtu, ku ce za ku yi musu sujada, ko ku bauta musu; abubuwan nan Ubangiji Allahnku ne ya rarraba wa dukan al’umman da suke ko’ina a ƙarƙashin sararin sama.
20 But you hath Jehovah taken, and hath brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, that ye might be to him a people of inheritance, as it is this day.
Amma ku, Ubangiji ya ɗauke ku, ya fid da ku daga matuya mai narken ƙarfe, wato, daga Masar, domin ku zama jama’arsa ta musamman kamar yadda kuke a yau.
21 And Jehovah was angry with me on your account, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not enter in to that good land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance;
Ubangiji ya yi fushi da ni saboda ku, ya kuma yi rantsuwa cewa ba zan haye Urdun, in shiga ƙasan nan mai kyau da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku gādo ba.
22 for I shall die in this land, I shall not go over the Jordan; but ye shall go over, and possess this good land.
Zan mutu a wannan ƙasa; ba zan haye Urdun ba; amma kuna gab da ƙetarewa, ku mallaki wannan ƙasa mai kyau.
23 Take heed to yourselves lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a graven image, the form of anything which Jehovah thy God hath forbidden thee.
Ku yi hankali kada ku manta da alkawarin da Ubangiji Allahnku ya yi da ku; kada fa ku yi wa kanku gunki a kamannin wani abin da Ubangiji Allahnku ya hana.
24 For Jehovah thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Gama Ubangiji Allahnku wuta ne mai ƙuna, Allah ne mai kishi.
25 When thou begettest sons, and sons' sons, and ye have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, the form of anything, and do evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, to provoke him to anger,
Bayan kun haifi’ya’ya da jikoki, kuka kuma zauna na dogon lokaci a ƙasar, in har kuka lalace, kuka kuma yi wani irin gunki, kuna aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku, kuna kuma sa shi fushi.
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it: ye shall not prolong your days on it, but shall be utterly destroyed.
Yau, na kira sama da duniya, su zama shaidata a kanku. Idan kuka yi rashin biyayya, lalle za ku hallaka nan da nan daga ƙasar da kuke ƙetare Urdun ku gāda. Ba za ku daɗe a cikinta ba, amma za a kawar da ku ƙaƙaf.
27 And Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left a small company among the nations to which Jehovah will lead you.
Ubangiji zai watsar da ku a cikin mutane, ɗan kaɗan ne kaɗai za su ragu a cikin al’umman da Ubangiji zai kai ku.
28 And ye shall there serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
A can za ku bauta wa allolin da mutum ya yi, na itace da dutse da ba sa gani, ba sa ji, ba sa ci, ba kuma iya sansanawa.
29 And from thence ye shall seek Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt find him, if thou shalt seek him with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul.
Amma daga can in kuka nemi Ubangiji Allahnku, da dukan zuciyarku da kuma dukan ranku, za ku same shi.
30 In thy tribulation, and when all these things shall come upon thee, at the end of days, thou shalt return to Jehovah thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice,
Sa’ad da kuke cikin wahala saboda waɗannan abubuwan da suka same ku nan gaba, to, sai ku juyo ga Ubangiji Allahnku, ku kuma yi masa biyayya.
31 — for Jehovah thy God is a merciful God, — he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore unto them.
Gama Ubangiji Allahnku, Allah ne mai jinƙai; ba zai yashe ku ko yă hallaka, ko kuma yă manta da alkawarin da ya yi da kakanninku, wanda ya tabbatar da su da rantsuwa ba.
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been anything as this great thing is, or if anything hath been heard like it?
Ku bincika dukan tarihi mana, tun daga lokacin da Allah ya halicci mutane a cikin duniya har yă zuwa yanzu; ku tantambaya daga wannan kusurwa ta samaniya zuwa waccan, ko wani babban abu irin wannan ya taɓa faruwa, ko kuma an taɓa jin labarin irinsa?
33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
Akwai waɗansu mutanen da suka taɓa jin muryar Allah yana magana daga wuta, kamar yadda kuka ji har suka rayu?
34 Or hath God essayed to come to take him a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Akwai wani allahn da ya taɓa yin ƙoƙari yă ɗauko wa kansa wata al’umma daga wata al’umma, ta wurin gwaje-gwaje, ta wurin alamu masu banmamaki da al’ajabai, ta wurin yaƙi, ta wurin hannu mai iko, da kuma hannu mai ƙarfi, ko kuwa ta wurin ayyuka masu bangirma da na banmamaki, kamar dukan abubuwan da Ubangiji Allahnku ya yi saboda ku a Masar, a kan idanunku?
35 Unto thee it was shewn, that thou mightest know that Jehovah, he is God — there is none other besides him.
An nuna muku dukan waɗannan abubuwa saboda ku san cewa Ubangiji, shi ne Allah; ban da shi, babu wani.
36 From the heavens he made thee hear his voice, that he might instruct thee; and on the earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words from the midst of the fire.
Daga sama ya sa kuka ji muryarsa, don yă hore ku. A duniya ya nuna muku wutarsa mai girma, kuka kuma ji kalmominsa daga wuta.
37 And because he loved thy fathers, and chose their seed after them, he brought thee out with his countenance, with his great power, out of Egypt,
Domin ya ƙaunaci kakanninku, ya kuma zaɓi zuriyarsu a bayansu, ya fitar da ku daga Masar ta wurin kasancewarsa da kuma ƙarfinsa mai girma,
38 to dispossess nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
don yă fitar da ku a gaban al’ummai da suka fi ku girma da kuma ƙarfi, ya kawo ku cikin ƙasarsu, don yă ba ku ita ta zama gādonku, kamar yadda yake a yau.
39 Thou shalt know therefore this day, and consider it in thy heart, that Jehovah, he is God in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath: [there is] none else.
Ku sani, ku kuma riƙe a zuciya a wannan rana, cewa Ubangiji shi ne Allah a sama da kuma a ƙasa. Babu wani kuma.
40 And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days on the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, for ever.
Ku kiyaye ƙa’idodi da umarnai, waɗanda nake ba ku a yau, domin zaman lafiyarku da kuma na zuriyarku bayan ba ku, domin kuma ku yi tsawon rai a ƙasa wadda Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku har abada.
41 Then Moses separated three cities on this side the Jordan toward the sun-rising,
Sa’an nan Musa ya keɓe birane uku gabas da Urdun,
42 that the manslayer might flee thither, who should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not previously, that fleeing to one of these cities, he might live:
waɗanda duk wanda ya yi kisankai, in ba da gangan ba ne ya kashe maƙwabcinsa, wanda babu ƙiyayya tsakaninsu a dā, zai iya gudu zuwa. Zai iya gudu zuwa cikin ɗaya daga waɗannan birane, yă tsira da ransa.
43 Bezer in the wilderness, in the plateau, of the Reubenites, and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
Biranen kuwa su ne, Bezer a dutsen hamada, don mutanen Ruben; Ramot Gileyad, don mutanen Gad; da kuma Golan a Bashan, don mutanen Manasse.
44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
Wannan ita ce dokar da Musa ya sa a gaban Isra’ilawa.
45 these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances that Moses declared to the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt,
Waɗannan su ne farillai, ƙa’idodi da kuma dokokin da Musa ya ba su, sa’ad da suka fito daga Masar.
46 on this side the Jordan, in the valley opposite to Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote when they came out of Egypt;
Sa’ad da suke a kwari kusa da Bet-Feyor, gabas da Urdun, a ƙasar Sihon sarkin Amoriyawa, wanda ya yi mulki a Heshbon, da Musa da Isra’ilawa suka ci da yaƙi sa’ad da suka fito daga Masar.
47 and they took possession of his land, and the land of Og the king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were on this side the Jordan, toward the sun-rising;
Suka mallaki ƙasarsa da kuma ƙasar Og sarkin Bashan, sarakuna biyu na Amoriyawa, gabas da Urdun.
48 from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, as far as mount Sion, which is Hermon,
Wannan ƙasa ta tashi daga Arower a kewayen Kwarin Arnon zuwa Dutsen Siyon (wato, Hermon),
49 and all the plain on this side the Jordan, eastward, and as far as the sea of the plain, under the slopes of Pisgah.
