< Joshua 2 >

1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
Sai Yoshuwa ɗan Nun ya aika’yan leƙen asiri guda biyu a ɓoye daga Shittim ya ce, “Ku je ku duba, ku ga yadda wurin yake, musamman Yeriko.” Sai suka je suka shiga gidan wata karuwa mai suna Rahab, suka sauka a can.
2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.
Aka gaya wa sarkin Yeriko cewa, “Ji fa, waɗansu Isra’ilawa sun shigo nan da dare don su leƙi asirin ƙasar.”
3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.
Saboda haka sai sarki ya aika wannan saƙo zuwa ga Rahab, “Ki fito da mutanen da suka zo suka sauka a gidanki, gama sun zo su leƙi asirin ƙasar ne gaba ɗaya.”
4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they [were: ]
Amma matar ta ɓoye mutanen nan biyu. Ta ce, “I, mutanen sun zo wurina, amma ban san daga ina suka zo ba,
5 And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
da yamma kuwa, kafin a rufe ƙofar gari sai mutanen suka tafi. Ban san hanyar da suka bi ba, ku yi sauri ku bi su. Mai yiwuwa ku same su.”
6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
(Amma ta kai su saman rufin ɗaki ta ɓoye su a ƙarƙashin karan rama da ta baza a rufin ɗaki.)
7 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
Sai mutanen garin suka kama hanyar Urdun don su nemi’yan leƙen asirin, daga fitar su sai aka rufe ƙofar garin.
8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
Kafin’yan leƙen asirin su kwanta, sai ta tafi wurinsu a bisa rufin ɗakin
9 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
ta ce musu, “Na sani Ubangiji ya riga ya ba ku ƙasan nan, tsoronku kuma ya kama mu har zukatan mazaunan ƙasar duka sun narke saboda ku.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that [were] on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Mun ji yadda Ubangiji ya busar da ruwan Jan Teku domin ku lokacin da kuka fito daga ƙasar Masar, da kuma abin da kuka yi wa Sihon da Og, sarakunan nan biyu na Amoriyawa gabas da Urdun, waɗanda kuka hallaka su sarai.
11 And as soon as we had heard [these things], our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he [is] God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
Da muka ji labarin, duk sai zuciyar kowa ta narke, kowa ya karaya saboda ku, gama Ubangiji Allahnku shi ne Allah na sama da ƙasa.
12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true token:
Yanzu ina roƙonku ku rantse mini da Ubangiji cewa za ku yi wa iyalina alheri kamar yadda na yi muku alheri. Ku ba ni ƙwaƙƙwarar shaida cewa
13 And [that] ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
za ku ceci rayukan mahaifina da mahaifiyata, da’yan’uwana maza da mata, da duk waɗanda suke nasu, za ku cece mu daga mutuwa.”
14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
Mutanen suka tabbatar mata suka ce, “Ranmu a bakin ranki! In ba ki faɗa wa kowa abin da ya kawo mu ba, za mu yi miki alheri da aminci lokacin da Ubangiji ya ba mu ƙasar.”
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house [was] upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
Sai ta zura igiya ta taga suka bi, domin gidan da take yana haɗe da katangar birnin.
16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
Ta ce musu, “Ku tafi cikin tuddan ƙasar don kada mutanen sarki su same ku. Ku ɓuya a can na kwana uku, har sai masu nemanku su komo, sa’an nan ku kama hanyarku.”
17 And the men said unto her, We [will be] blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
Mutanen suka ce mata, “Rantsuwar da kika sa muka yi, ba za tă yi amfani ba
18 Behold, [when] we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household, home unto thee.
sai in kin ɗaura jan ƙyalle a tagar da kika zura mu, kuma sai in kin kawo mahaifinki da mahaifiyarki, da’yan’uwanki, da dukan iyalinki cikin gidanki.
19 And it shall be, [that] whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood [shall be] upon his head, and we [will be] guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood [shall be] on our head, if [any] hand be upon him.
In wani ya fita kan hanya, alhakin jininsa yă kasance a kansa; ba ruwanmu. Amma in aka taɓa wani da yake cikin gidanki tare da ke, alhakin jininsa yana kanmu.
20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
In kika tone mana asiri, za mu karya alkawarin da kika sa muka yi.”
21 And she said, According unto your words, so [be] it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Ta ce, “Na yarda! Bari yă zama yadda kuka ce.” Sai ta sallame su suka tafi. Ta kuwa ɗaura jan ƙyalle a tagar.
22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought [them] throughout all the way, but found [them] not.
Sai suka tafi, suka shiga cikin tuddai, suka yi zamansu a can kwana uku har masu nemansu suka koma, gama masu nemansu suka yi ta nema ko’ina a hanyar, amma ba su sami kowa ba.
23 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all [things] that befell them:
Sa’an nan mutanen nan biyu,’yan leƙen asiri suka sauka daga tuddai suka haye kogi zuwa wurin Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, suka gaya masa duk abin da ya faru da su.
24 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
Suka ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ba shakka Ubangiji ya ba mu ƙasan nan duka, tana hannunmu, mutane can duk sun narke da tsoro saboda mu.”
