Joshua 8
1 And YHWH said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his 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 Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee 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 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by 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 he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but 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 And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
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 (For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.
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 Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for YHWH your Elohim will deliver it into your hand.
sai ku tashi daga inda kuka yi kwanto, ku ci birnin da yaƙi, Ubangiji Allahnku zai ba da shi a hannunku.
8 And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of YHWH shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
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 Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among 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 Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Kashegari da sassafe Yoshuwa ya tattara mutanensa, sai shi da shugabannin Isra’ilawa suka sha gaba suka taka zuwa Ai.
11 And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.
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 took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
Yoshuwa ya sa mutum dubu biyar suka yi kwanto tsakanin Betel da Ai, a yammancin birnin.
13 And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into 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 it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he knew not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
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 And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Yoshuwa da duk Isra’ilawa suka bari aka fafare su, sai suka gudu zuwa cikin jeji.
16 And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away 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 there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
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 And YHWH said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
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 the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city 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 when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
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 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
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 the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
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 the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Amma suka tafi da sarkin Ai da rai suka kawo shi wurin Yoshuwa.
24 And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
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 so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
A ranan nan, dukan mutanen Ai da aka kashe, mutum dubu goma sha biyu ne maza da mata.
26 For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Gama Yoshuwa bai janye hannunsa da yake riƙe da māshinsa ba har sai da ya hallaka dukan mazaunan Ai.
27 Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of YHWH which he commanded Joshua.
Amma Isra’ilawa suka kwashe ganima da dabbobin birnin nan yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Yoshuwa.
28 And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
Yoshuwa kuwa ya ƙone Ai, ya mai da ita tarin ƙasa, ta zama kufai har wa yau.
29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this 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 Joshua built an altar unto YHWH Elohim of Israel in mount Ebal,
Yoshuwa kuwa ya yi wa Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila bagade a Dutsen Ebal,
31 As Moses the servant of YHWH commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto YHWH, and sacrificed 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 there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
A can, a gaban Isra’ilawa, Yoshuwa ya rubuta dokokin Musa a kan duwatsun.
33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of YHWH, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of YHWH had commanded before, that they should bless 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 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book 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 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant 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.
