< Judges 21 >

1 Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
Mutanen Isra’ila sun riga sun yi rantsuwa a Mizfa cewa, “Ba ɗayanmu da zai ba da’yarsa aure ga mutumin Benyamin.”
2 And the people came to the house of Elohim, and abode there till even before Elohim, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
Sai mutanen suka tafi Betel, inda suka zauna a gaban Allah har yamma, suna tā da muryoyinsu suna kuka mai zafi.
3 And said, O YHWH Elohim of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
Suka ce, ya Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, “Me ya sa wannan abu ya faru da Isra’ila? Don me kabila ɗaya daga Isra’ila za tă ɓace a yau?”
4 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
Kashegari da sassafe mutane suka gina bagade suka miƙa hadaya ta ƙonawa da hadaya ta salama.
5 And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto YHWH? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to YHWH to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
Sa’an nan Isra’ilawa suka ce, “Wace kabila ce cikin kabilan Isra’ila ba tă zo taro a gaban Ubangiji ba?” Gama an yi rantsuwa cewa duk wanda ya kāsa zuwa taro a gaban Ubangiji a Mizfa lalle a kashe shi.
6 And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
To, Isra’ilawa suka yi juyayin’yan’uwansu, mutanen Benyamin. “Yau an hallaka kabila daga cikin Isra’ila.
7 How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by YHWH that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
Yaya za mu ba wa waɗanda suka rage mata, da yake mun riga mun yi rantsuwa a gaban Ubangiji, ba za mu ba su ɗaya daga’ya’yanmu su aura ba?”
8 And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to YHWH? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
Sa’an nan suka ce, “Wace kabila ce cikin kabilan Isra’ila ba tă zo taro a gaban Ubangiji a Mizfa ba?” Sai su gane cewa babu wani daga Yabesh Gileyad da ya zo sansani don taron.
9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead there.
Gama da aka yi ƙidaya mutane, sai aka gane cewa babu wani daga mutanen Yabesh Gileyad da yake a can.
10 And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
Saboda haka sai taron ya umarci jarumai dubu goma sha biyu su je Yabesh Gileyad su karkashe waɗanda suke zaune a can, duk da mata da yara.
11 And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
Suka ce musu, “Ga abin da za ku yi. Ku karkashe duk namiji da kowace macen da ta riga ta san namiji.”
12 And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
Suka samu a cikin mutanen da suke zaune a Yabesh Gileyad mata ɗari huɗu da ba su taɓa kwana da namiji ba, suka kwashe su zuwa sansani a Shilo a Kan’ana.
13 And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
Sa’an nan dukan taro suka aika wa mutanen Benyamin da suke a Dutsen Rimmon cewa yaƙi ya ƙare, yanzu sai salama.
14 And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh-gilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
Saboda haka mutanen Benyamin suka komo a lokacin aka kuma ba su matan Yabesh Gileyad nan da aka bari da rai. Amma matan ba su ishe su duka ba.
15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that YHWH had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Mutanen kuwa suka yi juyayi saboda mutanen Benyamin, domin Ubangiji ya yi gibi a cikin kabilan Isra’ila.
16 Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
Shugabannin taron suka ce, “Da matan Benyamin da aka hallaka, yaya za mu yi da mazan da suka ragu da ba su sami mata ba?”
17 And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
Suka ce, “Dole mutanen Benyamin da suka ragu su sami gādo, domin kada wata kabila a Isra’ila ta ɓace.
18 Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
Ba za mu iya ba su’yan matanmu su zama matansu ba, da yake mu Isra’ilawa mun riga mun yi wannan rantsuwa cewa, ‘La’ananne ne wanda ya ba da’yarsa aure ga mutum Benyamin.’
19 Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of YHWH in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
Sai suka tuna, akwai bikin Ubangiji da sukan yi shekara-shekara a Shilo ya yi kusa. Shilo yana arewancin Betel, kudu da Lebona, gabas da hanyar da take tsakanin Betel da Shekem.”
20 Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
Saboda haka suka cewa mutanen Benyamin, “Ku je ku ɓuya a gonakin inabi
21 And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
ku lura. Sa’ad da’yan matan Shilo suka fito waje don su yi rawa, ku fito a guje daga gonakin inabi, kowannenku yă kama wa kansa mata daga cikin’yan matan Shilo, ku tafi ƙasar Benyamin.
22 And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
Sa’ad da iyayensu maza ko’yan’uwansu suka kawo mana ƙara, za mu ce musu, ‘Ku yi mana alheri ku bar su, domin ba mu samo musu mata ba lokacin yaƙi, ku kuma marasa laifi ne, tun da yake ba ku ba da’ya’yan matanku gare su ba.’”
23 And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
Haka mutanen Benyamin suka yi. Yayinda’yan matan suke rawa, kowane mutum ya kama ɗaya ya yi gaba da ita ta zama matarsa. Sa’an nan suka komo ƙasar gādonsu suka sāke giggina garuruwan suka kuwa zauna a cikinsu.
24 And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
A lokacin, Isra’ilawa sun bar wurin suka tafi gida zuwa ga kabilansu da zuriyoyinsu, kowane zuwa gādonsa.
25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
A kwanakin Isra’ila ba ta da sarki; kowa ya yi abin da ya ga dama.
