Joshua 9
1 And when all the Kings that were beyonde Iorden, in the mountaines and in the valleis, and by all the coastes of the great Sea ouer against Lebanon (as the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hiuites, and the Iebusites) heard thereof,
To, sa’ad da dukan sarakunan yammancin Urdun suka ji waɗannan abubuwa, sai waɗanda suke kan tudu, da na cikin kwari a yammanci, da dukan waɗanda suke gefen Bahar Rum har zuwa Lebanon (sarakunan Hittiyawa, Amoriyawa, Kan’aniyawa, Ferizziyawa, Hiwiyawa da Yebusiyawa)
2 They gathered themselues together, to fight against Ioshua, and against Israel with one accord.
suka haɗa kansu don su yaƙi Yoshuwa da Isra’ila.
3 But the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Ioshua had done vnto Iericho, and to Ai.
Amma da mutanen Gibeyon suka ji abin da Yoshuwa ya yi wa Yeriko da Ai,
4 And therefore they wrought craftily: for they went, and fayned themselues ambassadours, and tooke olde sackes vpon their asses, and olde bottels for wine, both rent and bound vp,
sai suka shirya wata dabara ta ruɗu, suka shirya ɗan abinci don tafiya, suka ɗauki tsofaffin buhuna a kan jakunansu da tsofaffin salkuna na ruwan inabi, yagaggu da suka sha ɗinki.
5 And olde shoes and clouted vpon their feete: also the raiment vpon them was old, and all their prouision of bread was dried, and mouled.
Suka sa tsofaffin takalman da suka sha gyara, suka sa tsofaffin tufafi. Dukan abincinsu na tafiya ya bushe ya yi fumfuna.
6 So they came vnto Ioshua into the hoste to Gilgal, and said vnto him, and vnto the men of Israel, Wee be come from a farre countrey: nowe therefore make a league with vs.
Sai suka je wurin Yoshuwa a sansanin Gilgal suka ce masa da mutanen Isra’ila, “Daga ƙasa mai nisa muka fito, yanzu fa, sai ku yi alkawari da mu.”
7 Then the men of Israel said vnto the Hiuites, It may be that thou dwellest among vs, how then can I make a league with thee?
Mutanen Isra’ila kuwa suka ce wa Hiwiyawa, “Wataƙila kuna kusa da mu, ta yaya za mu yi alkawari da ku?”
8 And they said vnto Ioshua, We are thy seruants. Then Ioshua saide vnto them, Who are ye? and whence come ye?
Suka ce wa Yoshuwa, “Mu bayinku ne.” Amma Yoshuwa ya tambaye su ya ce, “Ku wane ne, kuma daga ina kuka zo?”
9 And they answered him, From a very farre countrey thy seruants are come for the Name of the Lord thy God: for we haue heard his fame and all that he hath done in Egypt,
Suka amsa suka ce, “Bayinka sun zo ne daga ƙasa mai nisa gama Ubangiji Allahnka ya yi suna sosai. Gama mun ji labarin abubuwan da ya yi. Dukan abubuwan da ya yi a Masar
10 And all that he hath done to the two Kings of the Amorites that were beyonde Iorden, to Sihon King of Heshbon, and to Og King of Bashan, which were at Ashtaroth.
da kuma duk abubuwan da ya yi wa sarakuna biyu na Amoriyawa gabas da Urdun, Sihon sarkin Heshbon, da Og sarkin Bashan wanda ya yi mulki a Ashtarot.
11 Wherefore our elders, and all the inhabitants of our countrey spake to vs, saying, Take vitailes with you for the iourney, and go to meete them, and say vnto them, Wee are your seruants: now therefore make ye a league with vs.
Dattawanmu da duk mazaunan ƙasar, suka ce mana, ‘Ku ɗauki abincin tafiyar da za ku riƙe; ku je ku same su ku ce musu, “Mu bayinku ne, ku yi alkawari da mu.”’
12 This our bread we tooke it hote with vs for vittailes out of our houses, the day we departed to come vnto you: but nowe beholde, it is dried, and it is mouled.
Abincin tafiyan nan namu yana da ɗumi lokacin da muka kintsa tashi daga gida a ranar da za mu kama hanya zuwa wurinku. Amma yanzu duba yadda ya bushe, ya yi fumfuna.
13 Also these bottels of wine which we filled, were newe, and lo, they be rent, and these our garments and our shooes are olde, by reason of the exceeding great iourney.
Waɗannan salkuna kuma da muka cika ruwan inabi, sababbi ne amma duba yadda suka yayyage. Tufafinmu da takalmanmu duk sun yayyage don doguwar tafiya.”
14 And the men accepted their tale concerning their vittailes, and counselled not with the mouth of the Lord.
Mutanen Isra’ila suka ɗiba daga cikin abincin tafiyar amma ba su nemi nufin Ubangiji ba.
15 So Ioshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, that he would suffer them to liue: also the Princes of the Congregation sware vnto them.
Sa’an nan Yoshuwa ya yi alkawari zaman salama da su, cewa ba zai kashe su ba, sai shugabannin mutanen Isra’ila kuwa suka tabbatar musu da haka ta wurin yin rantsuwa.
16 But at the end of three dayes, after they had made a league with them, they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
Kwana uku bayan sun yi alkawari da Gibeyonawa, sai Isra’ilawa suka ji cewa Gibeyonawa maƙwabtansu ne, waɗanda suke zaune kurkusa da su.
17 And the children of Israel tooke their iourney, and came vnto their cities the third day, and their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth and Kiriath-iearim.
Saboda haka Isra’ilawa suka tashi a rana ta uku suke je biranen mutanen, wato, Gibeyon, Kefira, Beyerot da Kiriyat Yeyarim.
18 And the children of Israel slewe them not, because the Princes of the Congregation had sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: wherefore all the Congregation murmured against the Princes.
Amma Isra’ilawa ba su kai musu hari ba domin shugabanninsu sun rantse musu da sunan Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila. Mutane Isra’ila duka kuwa suka yi gunaguni a kan shugabannin.
19 Then all the Princes said vnto all the Congregation, We haue sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel: nowe therefore we may not touch them.
Amma shugabanni suka amsa musu suka ce, “Mun rantse musu da sunan Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, saboda haka ba za mu taɓa su ba yanzu.
20 But this we wil doe to them, and let them liue, least the wrath be vpon vs because of the othe which we sware vnto them.
Ga abin da za mu yi musu, za mu bar su da rai don kada fushin Allah yă sauka a kanmu gama mun riga mun rantse musu.”
21 And the Princes sayd vnto them againe, Let them liue, but they shall hewe wood, and drawe water vnto all the Congregation, as the Princes appoint them.
Suka ƙara da cewa, “Mu bar su da rai, amma bari su zama masu yankan itace da masu ɗibo mana ruwa.” Haka shugabannin suka cika alkawarinsu.
22 Ioshua then called them, and talked with them, and sayd, Wherefore haue ye beguiled vs, saying, We are very farre from you, when ye dwel among vs?
Yoshuwa kuwa ya aika aka kira Gibeyonawa ya ce musu, “Don me kuka ruɗe mu kuka ce, ‘Mun zo ne daga wuri mai nisa,’ bayan kuwa kuna nan kurkusa da mu?
23 Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the house of my God.
Yanzu ku la’anannu ne. Ba za ku daina zama mana masu yankan itace da kuma masu ɗebo ruwa domin haikalin Allahnmu ba.”
24 And they answered Ioshua, and sayd, Because it was tolde thy seruants, that the Lord thy God had commanded his seruant Moses to giue you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land out of your sight, therefore we were exceeding sore afraid for our liues at the presence of you, and haue done this thing:
Suka amsa wa Yoshuwa suka ce, “An gaya wa bayinka dalla-dalla yadda Ubangiji Allahnka ya umarci bawansa Musa yă ba ka ƙasar duka, ka kuma kashe duk masu zama a cikinta, muka ji tsoro cewa za ka kashe mu shi ya sa muka yi haka.
25 And beholde nowe, we are in thine hand: doe as it seemeth good and right in thine eyes to doe vnto vs.
Yanzu, a hannunka muke, ka yi duk abin da ka ga ya yi maka kyau.”
26 Euen so did he vnto them, and deliuered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slewe them not.
Yoshuwa kuwa ya cece su daga hannun Isra’ilawa, har ba su kashe su ba.
27 And Ioshua appointed them that same day to be hewers of wood, and drawers of water for the Congregation, and for the altar of the Lord vnto this day, in the place which he should chuse.
A ranar Yoshuwa ya sa Gibeyonawa suka zama masu yankan itace da ɗebo ruwa wa jama’ar Isra’ila da kuma domin haikalin Ubangiji a inda Ubangiji zai zaɓa. Abin da suke ke nan har wa yau.
