Joshua 8
1 And the Lord said to Josue: Fear not, nor be thou dismayed: take with thee all the multitude of fighting men, arise and go up to the town of Hai. Behold I have delivered into thy hand the king thereof, and the people, and the city, and the land.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Kada ka ji tsoro; kada ka karaya. Ka ɗauki dukan sojojin ku kai wa Ai hari, gama na ba ka nasara a kan sarkin Ai, mutanensa, birninsa da kuma ƙasarsa.
2 And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils and all the cattle you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it.
Za ku yi wa Ai yadda kuka yi wa Yeriko da sarkinta, sai dai za ku kwashe ganima da dabbobinta su zama naku. Ku yi kwanto a bayan birnin.”
3 And Josue arose, and all the army of the fighting men with him, to go up against Hai: and he sent thirty thousand chosen valiant men in the night,
Yoshuwa da dukan sojojin suka fita su kai wa Ai hari. Sai ya zaɓi sojojinsa waɗanda suka fi saura duka iya yaƙi guda dubu talatin, ya tura su da dad dare
4 And commanded them, saying: Lay an ambush behind the city: and go not very far from it: and be ye all ready.
ya ba su umarni ya ce, “Ku ji da kyau, za ku yi kwanto a bayan birnin, kada ku yi nisa da birnin. Kowannenku yă kasance a faɗake.
5 But I and the rest of the multitude which is with me; will approach on the contrary side against the city. And when they shall come out against us, we will flee, and turn our backs, as we did before:
Ni da waɗanda suke tare da ni za mu nufi birnin, a lokacin da mutanen suka taso mana yadda suka yi dā, sai mu guje musu.
6 Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before.
Za su bi mu har su yi nisa da birnin, gama za su ce, ‘Suna gudu kamar yadda suka yi dā.’ Saboda haka lokacin da muka guje musu,
7 And whilst we are fleeing, and they pursuing, you shall arise out of the ambush, and shall destroy the city: and the Lord your God will deliver it into our hands.
sai ku tashi daga inda kuka yi kwanto, ku ci birnin da yaƙi, Ubangiji Allahnku zai ba da shi a hannunku.
8 And when you shall have taken it, set it on fire, and you shall do all things so as I have commanded.
Lokacin da kuka ƙwace birnin, sai ku sa masa wuta. Ku yi abin da Ubangiji ya umarta. Ku tabbata kun yi abubuwan da na ce.”
9 And he sent them away, and they went on to the place of the ambush, and abode between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the city of Hai. But Josue stayed that night in the midst of the people,
Sai Yoshuwa ya sallame su, suka kuma tafi wurin da za su yi kwanto, suka kwanta suna fako tsakanin Betel da Ai, yamma da Ai, amma Yoshuwa ya kwana tare da mutanen.
10 And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army environed with the aid of the fighting men.
Kashegari da sassafe Yoshuwa ya tattara mutanensa, sai shi da shugabannin Isra’ilawa suka sha gaba suka taka zuwa Ai.
11 And when they were come, and were gone up over against the city, they stood on the north side of the city, between which and them there was a valley in the midst.
Dukan sojojin da suke tare da shi suka nufi birnin, da suka kai kuwa sai suka kafa sansaninsu a arewancin Ai. Tsakaninsu da Ai akwai kwari.
12 And he had chosen five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Hai, on the west side of the same city:
Yoshuwa ya sa mutum dubu biyar suka yi kwanto tsakanin Betel da Ai, a yammancin birnin.
13 But all the rest of the army went in battle array on the north side, so that the last of that multitude reached to the west side of the city. So Josue went that night, and stood in the midst of the valley.
Mutanen suka kafa sansaninsu arewa da birnin, sansani na’yan kwanto kuwa yana yamma da birnin, amma Yoshuwa ya kwana a kwarin.
14 And when the king of Hai saw this, he made haste in the morning, and went out with all the army of the city, and set it in battle array toward the desert, not knowing that there lay an ambush behind his back.
Sa’ad da sarkin Ai ya ga haka, shi da duk mutanen birnin suka hanzarta da sassafe don su gamu da Isra’ilawa, su yi yaƙi da su a wani wurin da yake fuskantar Araba. Amma bai san cewa an yi masa kwanto a bayan birnin ba.
15 But Josue, and all Israel gave back, making as if they were afraid, and fleeing by the way of the wilderness.
Yoshuwa da duk Isra’ilawa suka bari aka fafare su, sai suka gudu zuwa cikin jeji.
16 But they shouting together, and encouraging one another, pursued them. And when they were come from the city,
Aka kira duk mazan Ai su fafare su, suka kuwa fafari Yoshuwa, aka yaudare su suka yi nisa da birnin.
17 And not one remained in the city of Hai and of Bethel, that did not pursue after Israel, leaving the towns open as they had rushed out,
Ba namijin da ya rage a Ai ko Betel da bai fita don yă fafari Isra’ilawa ba. Suka bar birnin a buɗe, suka tafi fafarar Isra’ilawa.
18 The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ka riƙe māshin da yake hannunka ka nuna wajen Ai, gama zan ba da birnin a hannunka.” Yoshuwa kuwa ya miƙa māshin ta wajen Ai.
19 And when he had lifted up his shield towards the city, the ambush that lay hid, rose up immediately: and going to the city, took it and set it on fire.
Da yin haka kuwa sai mutanen da suka yi kwanto suka tashi nan da nan daga inda suke, suka nufi birnin a guje, suka shiga suka ci birnin da yaƙi, suka kuma cinna mata wuta da sauri.
20 And the men of the city, that pursued after Josue, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rise up to heaven, had no more power to flee this way or that way: especially as they that had counterfeited flight, and were going toward the wilderness, turned back most valiantly against them that pursued.
Mutanen Ai suka juya suka ga hayaƙin birninsu yana tashi sama, amma ba yadda za su iya tsira ta ko’ina, gama Isra’ilawan da suke gudu zuwa cikin jeji suka juya suka fara fafarar waɗanda suke fafararsu.
21 So Josue and all Israel seeing that the city was taken, and that the smoke of the city rose up, returned and slew the men of Hai.
Lokacin da Yoshuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka ga waɗanda suka yi kwanto sun ci birnin da yaƙi, hayaƙi kuwa ya cika birnin, sai suka juya suka kai wa mutanen Ai hari.
22 And they also that had taken and set the city on fire, issuing out of the city to meet their own men, began to cut off the enemies who were surrounded by them. So that the enemies being cut off on both sides, not one of so great a multitude was saved.
Mutanen da suka yi kwanto su ma suka fito daga birnin suka tasar musu, ya zama an kama su a tsakiya, ga Isra’ilawa daga kowane gefe. Isra’ilawa kuwa suka karkashe su duka ba su bar wani da rai ba, ba kuma wanda ya tsere.
23 And they took the king of the city of Hai alive, and brought him to Josue.
Amma suka tafi da sarkin Ai da rai suka kawo shi wurin Yoshuwa.
24 So all being slain that had pursued after Israel in his flight to the wilderness, and tailing by the sword in the same place, the children of Israel returned and laid waste the city.
Da Isra’ilawa suka gama kashe duk mutanen Ai a filaye da kuma a cikin jeji inda suka fafare su, kuma da aka karkashe kowane mutumin Ai da takobi sai dukan Isra’ilawa suka koma Ai suka karkashe duk waɗanda suke cikinsa.
25 And the number of them that fell that day, both of men and women, was twelve thousand persons all of the city of Hai.
A ranan nan, dukan mutanen Ai da aka kashe, mutum dubu goma sha biyu ne maza da mata.
26 But Josue drew not back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, holding the shield, till all the inhabitants of Hai were slain.
Gama Yoshuwa bai janye hannunsa da yake riƙe da māshinsa ba har sai da ya hallaka dukan mazaunan Ai.
27 And the children of Israel divided among them the cattle and the prey of the city, as the Lord had commanded Josue.
Amma Isra’ilawa suka kwashe ganima da dabbobin birnin nan yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Yoshuwa.
28 And he burned the city, and made it a heap for ever:
Yoshuwa kuwa ya ƙone Ai, ya mai da ita tarin ƙasa, ta zama kufai har wa yau.
29 And he hung the king thereof on a gibbet until the evening and the going down of the sun. Then Josue commanded, and they took down his carcass from the gibbet: and threw it in the very entrance of the city, heaping upon it a great heap of stones, which remaineth until this present day.
Ya rataye sarkin Ai a kan itace, ya bar shi a can har yamma. Da rana ta fāɗi, Yoshuwa ya umarta a ɗauke gawar sarkin a jefa a gaban ƙofar birnin. Suka kuma tara manyan duwatsu a kan gawar, tsibin na nan har wa yau.
30 Then Josue built an altar to the Lord the God of Israel in mount Hebal,
Yoshuwa kuwa ya yi wa Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila bagade a Dutsen Ebal,
31 As Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, and it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of unhewn stones which iron had not touched: and he offered upon it holocausts to the Lord, and immolated victims of peace offerings.
kamar yadda Musa bawan Ubangiji ya umarci Isra’ilawa. Ya gina bisa ga abin da yake a rubuce a cikin Littafin Dokoki na Musa, bagade na duwatsun da ba a sassaƙa su ba, waɗanda ba wani ƙarfen da ya taɓa su. Suka miƙa wa Ubangiji hadayu na ƙonawa da hadayu na salama a kai.
32 And he wrote upon stones the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had ordered before the children of Israel.
A can, a gaban Isra’ilawa, Yoshuwa ya rubuta dokokin Musa a kan duwatsun.
33 And all the people, and the ancients, and the princes and judges stood on both sides of the ark, before the priests that carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, both the stranger and he that was born among them, half of them by mount Garizim, and half by mount Hebal, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. And first he blessed the people of Israel.
Sai Isra’ilawa duka, da baƙi, da haifaffun gida, da dattawansu, da shugabanninsu, da alƙalansu, suka tsaya a gefe-gefen akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, suna fuskantar waɗanda suke ɗauke da shi, wato, firistoci waɗanda su ne Lawiyawa. Rabin mutanen suka tsaya a gaban Dutsen Gerizim, rabinsu kuma suka tsaya a gaban Dutsen Ebal, kamar yadda Musa bawan Ubangiji ya riga ya umarta, cewa su sa wa mutanen Isra’ilawa albarka.
34 After this he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing and all things that were written in the hook of the law.
Bayan haka, Yoshuwa ya karanta duk abin da yake a cikin Dokoki, albarku da la’anoni, kamar yadda suke a rubuce a cikin Littafin Dokoki.
35 He left out nothing of those things which Moses had commanded, but he repeated all before all the people of Israel, with the women and children and strangers that dwelt among them.
Babu wata kalmar da Musa ya umarta da Yoshuwa bai karanta wa dukan taron Isra’ilawa ba, haɗe da mata, da yara, da baƙin da suke zama tare da su.
