Judges 9
1 And Abimelech the son of Yerubba'al went to Shechem unto his mother's brothers, and spoke unto them, and unto all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
Abimelek ɗan Yerub-Ba’al ya tafi Shekem wurin’yan’uwan mahaifiyarsa, ya ce musu da kuma dukan dangin mahaifiyarsa,
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, What is better for you, either that there should rule over you seventy men, all the sons of Yerubba'al, or that there reign over you one man? and remember that I am your bone and your flesh.
“Ku tambayi’yan ƙasar Shekem, ‘Wanne ya fi muku, a sa dukan’ya’yan Yerub-Ba’al saba’in maza su yi mulkinku, ko dai mutum guda kawai yă yi mulkinku?’ Ku tuna, ni jininku ne.”
3 And his mother's brothers spoke concerning him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words; and their heart became inclined after Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.
Sa’ad da’yan’uwan suka mayar wa’yan ƙasar Shekem wannan, sai suka goyi bayan Abimelek, gama sun ce, “Shi ɗan’uwanmu ne.”
4 And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Ba'al-berith; and Abimelech hired therewith idle and heedless persons, who followed him.
Suka ba shi shekel saba’in na azurfa daga haikalin Ba’al-Berit, Abimelek kuwa ya yi amfani da shi ya yi hayar’yan tauri waɗanda suka zama masu binsa.
5 And he came unto his father's house at 'Ophrah, and slew his brothers the sons of Yeruhba'al, seventy persons, upon one stone; and there was yet left Yotham the youngest son of Yerubba'al; for he had hidden himself.
Sai ya tafi gidan mahaifinsa a Ofra kuma a dutse guda ya kashe’yan’uwansa,’ya’yan Yerub-Ba’al. Amma Yotam, autan ɗan Yerub-Ba’al ya tsira ta wurin ɓuya.
6 And all the men of Shechem and all Beth-millo assembled together, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar that was by Shechem.
Sa’an nan duka’yan ƙasar Shekem da Bet Millo suka taru kusa da babban itacen wajen ginshiƙi a Shekem don a naɗa Abimelek sarki.
7 And they told it to Yotham; and he went and stood on the top of mount Gerizzim, and he lifted up his voice, and cried; and he said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, so that God may hearken unto you.
Sa’ad da aka gaya wa Yotam wannan, sai ya hau Dutsen Gerizim ya yi kira da ƙarfi ya ce, “Ku saurare ni,’yan ƙasar Shekem, don Allah yă saurare ku.
8 The trees went once forth to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive-tree, Reign thou over us.
Wata rana itatuwa suka fita don su naɗa wa kansu sarki. Suka ce wa itacen zaitun, ‘Ka zama sarkinmu.’
9 But the olive-tree said unto them, Should I give up my fatness, wherewith through me they honor God and men, and shall I go to be promoted over the trees!
“Amma itacen zaitun ya ce, ‘In bar mai nawa, wanda da shi ake girmama alloli da mutane, don in zo in yi ta fama da itatuwa?’
10 And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come thou, reign over us.
“Biye da wannan, sai itatuwan suka ce wa itacen ɓaure, ‘Zo ka zama sarkinmu.’
11 But the fig-tree said unto them, Should I give up my sweetness, and my good productiveness, and go to be promoted over the trees?
“Amma itacen ɓauren ya ce, ‘In bar kyawawan’ya’yana da zaƙinsu, in zo in yi ta fama da itatuwa?’
12 Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, reign over us.
“Sa’an nan itatuwan suka ce wa kuringar inabi, ‘Ki zo ki zama sarkinmu.’
13 But the vine said unto them, Should I give up my fresh wine, which rejoiceth God and men, and go to be promoted over the trees!
“Amma kuringar ta ce, ‘In bar ruwan inabina, wanda yake faranta zuciyar alloli da mutane, in zo in yi fama da itatuwa?’
14 Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, reign over us.
“A ƙarshe sai dukan itatuwa suka ce wa itacen ƙaya, ‘Ka zo ka zama sarkinmu.’
15 And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me as king over you, then come seek protection in my shadow; and if not, then let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of the Lebanon.
“Itacen ƙaya ya ce wa itatuwan, ‘In da gaske ne kuke so ku naɗa ni sarkinku, ku zo ku sha inuwana; in ba haka ba, bari wuta ta fito daga itacen ƙaya ta cinye itacen al’ul na Lebanon!’
16 And now, if ye have acted in truth and sincerity, when ye made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Yerubba'al and his house, and have done unto him according to the merit of his hands;
“To, da a ce kun yi abin bangirma da aniya mai kyau sa’ad da kuka naɗa Abimelek sarki, da kun nuna wa Yerub-Ba’al da iyalinsa ladabi, da kuma kun yi masa abin da ya cancanci shi,
17 (In that my father fought for you, and cast his life far away, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian;
a yi tunani cewa mahaifina ya yi yaƙi saboda ku, ya yi kasai da ransa don yă cece ku daga hannun Midiyawa
18 While ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maid-servant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother; )
(amma ga shi yau kun tayar wa iyalin mahaifina, kuka kashe’ya’yansa saba’in a dutse guda, kuka kuma naɗa Abimelek, ɗan baiwa, sarki a kan’yan ƙasar Shekem domin shi ɗan’uwanku ne)
19 If ye have thus acted in truth and sincerity with Yerubba'al and with his house this day: then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.
in har kun aikata wannan cikin bangirma da kuma aminci wajen Yerub-Ba’al da iyalinsa a yau, bari Abimelek yă zama farin cikinku, ku kuma nasa!
20 But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem and Beth-millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from Beth-millo, and devour Abimelech.
Amma in ba haka ba, bari wuta ta fito daga Abimelek ya cinye ku,’yan ƙasar Shekem da Bet Millo, bari wuta kuma daga wurinku’yan ƙasar Shekem da Bet Millo ta cinye Abimelek!”
21 And Yotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
Sa’an nan Yotam ya gudu, ya tsere zuwa Beyer ya zauna a can gama yana tsoron ɗan’uwansa Abimelek.
22 And Abimelech ruled over Israel three years;
Bayan Abimelek ya yi shekara uku yana mulki a Isra’ila,
23 And then did God send an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem became unfaithful toward Abimelech;
sai Allah ya aiko da mugun ruhu tsakanin Abimelek da’yan ƙasar Shekem, waɗanda suka ci amanar Abimelek.
24 So that the violence [done] to the seventy sons of Yerubba'al might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who had slain them; and upon the men of Shechem, who had strengthened his hands to slay his brothers.
Allah ya yi haka saboda kisan’ya’ya saba’in na Yerub-Ba’al, don a ɗauki fansar jininsu a kan Abimelek ɗan’uwansu da kuma’yan ƙasar Shekem, waɗanda suka taimake shi kisan’yan’uwansa.
25 And the men of Shechem set persons to lie in wait for him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all that passed by them on that way: and it was told unto Abimelech.
Cikin hamayya da shi waɗannan’yan ƙasar Shekem suka sa mutane a kan tuddai don su yi kwanton ɓauna a kan su yi fashi ga duk wanda ya wuce a can, wannan fa ya kai kunnen Abimelek.
26 And there came Ga'al the son of 'Ebed with his brothers, and passed through Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
To, Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya tafi tare da’yan’uwansa zuwa Shekem,’yan ƙasarta kuwa suka dogara da shi.
27 And they went out into the field, and gathered their vineyards, and trod [the grapes], and made joyful feasts, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.
Bayan sun tafi gonaki suka tattara inabi suka matse su, sai suka yi biki a haikalin allahnsu. Yayinda suke ci da sha, sai suka la’anci Abimelek.
28 And Ga'al the son of 'Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Yerubba'al? and Zebul his superintendent? serve the men of Chamor the father of Shechem; for why indeed should we serve him?
Sa’an nan Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya ce, “Wane ne Abimelek, kuma wane ne Shekem, da za mu bauta masa? Shi ba ɗan Yerub-Ba’al ba ne, kuma ba Zebul ne mataimakinsa ba? Ku bauta wa mutanen Hamor, mahaifin Shekem! Me ya sa za mu bauta wa Abimelek?
29 And O that some one would put this people into my power! and I would remove Abimelech. And he let it be said to Abimelech, Increase thy army, and come out.
Da a ce waɗannan mutane suna a ƙarƙashina mana! Da zan hamɓarar da shi. In ce wa Abimelek, ‘Ka tara dukan mayaƙanka!’”
30 And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Ga'al the son of 'Ebed, his anger was kindled.
Sa’ad da Zebul gwamnar birnin ya ji abin da Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya ce, sai ya fusata.
31 And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privately, saying, Behold, Ga'al the son of 'Ebed and his brothers are come to Shechem; and, behold, they incite the city to enmity against thee.
Asirce sai ya aiki manzanni wajen Abimelek, yana cewa, “Ga’al ɗan Ebed da’yan’uwansa sun zo Shekem suna kuma zuga birnin sun tayar maka.
32 And now rise up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
To, in dare ya yi, sai ka zo da mutanenka ku yi kwanto a filaye.
33 And it shall be, in the morning, the moment the sun shineth, that thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city; and, behold, when he and the people that are with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to him as thy means may let thee.
Kashegari da safe, sai ku tashi ku fāɗa wa birnin. Sa’ad da Ga’al da mutanensa suka faɗa maka, sai ka yi abin da ka iya yi da su.”
34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they lay in wait against Shechem in four companies.
Saboda haka Abimelek da dukan mutanensa suka tashi da dare suka ɓuya kusa da Shekem a ƙungiyoyi huɗu.
35 And Ga'al the son of 'Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the city-gate: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from the ambush.
To, Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya riga ya fita waje yana tsaye a ƙofar birni daidai Abimelek da mayaƙansa suka fito daga inda suka ɓuya.
36 And when Ga'al saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou regardest the shadow of the mountains as men.
Sa’ad da Ga’al ya gan su, sai ya ce wa Zebul, “Duba, ga mutane suna gangarowa daga kan duwatsu!” Zebul ya ce, “Kana ɗaukan inuwan duwatsu kana ce mutane.”
37 And Ga'al spoke again and said, See people are coming down from the highest point of the land, and one company is coming along by the way of the grove of Me'onenim.
Amma Ga’al ya sāke magana ya ce, “Duba, mutane suna gangarowa daga tsakiyar filaye, kuma wata ƙungiya tana zuwa daga wajen itacen masu duba.”
38 Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him! is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out now, I pray, and fight with them.
Sa’an nan Zebul ya ce masa, “Ina bakin da ka yi ɗin, kai da ka ce, ‘Wane ne Abimelek da za mu bauta masa.’ Ba mutanen ne ka yi musu ba’a ba? Fita, ka yaƙe su mana!”
39 And Ga'al went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
Saboda haka Ga’al ya fito da’yan ƙasar Shekem suka yaƙi Abimelek.
40 And Abimelech pursued him, and he fled before him, and many fell slain, even as far as the entrance of the gate.
Abimelek ya kore shi, mutane da yawa suka ji ciwo a yaƙin, har zuwa ƙofar birnin.
41 And Abimelech remained at Arumah: and Zebul banished Ga'al and his brothers, that they should not remain in Shechem.
Abimelek ya zauna a Aruma, Zebul kuwa ya kori Ga’al da’yan’uwansa daga Shekem.
42 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and it was told to Abimelech.
Kashegari mutanen Shekem suka tafi gonaki, aka kuwa gaya wa Abimelek.
43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field; and as he saw, and, behold, that the people were coming forth out of the city, he rose up against them, and smote them.
Saboda haka ya ɗauki mutanensa, ya raba su ƙungiya uku, sa’an nan ya yi kwanto a gonakin. Sa’ad da ya ga mutanen suna fitowa daga birni, sai ya yi wuf ya fāɗa musu.
44 And Abimelech, and the companies that were with him, spread forward, and took position in the entrance of the city-gate: and the two other companies spread over all that were in the fields, and smote them.
Abimelek da ƙungiyoyin da suke tare da shi suka yi maza suka yi tsaya a ƙofar birnin. Sa’an nan ƙungiyoyi biyu suka ruga suka fāɗa wa waɗanda suke a gonaki suka karkashe su.
45 And Ahimelech fought against the city all that day; and he captured the city, and the people that were therein he slew; and he beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
Dukan yinin, Abimelek ya matsa yaƙi da birnin sai da ya cinye ta ya kuma kashe mutanenta. Sa’an nan ya hallaka birnin ya barbaza gishiri a kanta.
46 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard this, they entered into the stronghold of the house of the god Berith.
Da jin haka, sai’yan ƙasa a hasumiyar Shekem suka shiga wurin mafaka a hankalin El-Berit.
47 And it was told unto Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
Da Abimelek ya ji dukan mutanen hasumiyar Shekem sun taru a can,
48 And Abimelech went thereupon up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from a tree, and bore it, and laid it on his shoulder; and he said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen that I have done, make haste, and do like me.
sai Abimelek da dukan mutanensa suka haura zuwa Dutsen Zalmon. Sai ya ɗauki gatari ya sassare waɗansu rassa, waɗanda ya sa a kafaɗunsa. Ya umarci mutanen da suke tare da shi ya ce, “Sauri, ku yi abin da kuka ga na yi!”
49 And all the people also cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put the same to the stronghold, and set the stronghold over them on fire: and thus died also all the people of the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women.
Saboda haka mutanen suka sassare rassan itatuwa suka bi Abimelek. Suka tattara su a jikin mafakar suka kuma cinna mata wuta a kan mutanen da suke a ciki. Ta haka dukan mutanen da suke cikin hasumiyar Shekem, wajen maza da mata dubu ɗaya suka mutu.
50 And Abimelech went then to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and captured it.
Biye da wannan Abimelek ya tafi Tebez, ya kewaye ta ya kuma cinye ta da yaƙi.
51 But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and the women, and all the chief persons of the city, and shut the doors behind them, and went up to the roof of the tower.
A cikin birnin, akwai wata hasumiya mai ƙarfi, inda dukan maza da mata, dukan mutanen birnin, suka ɓuya. Suka kulle kansu, suka kuma hau rufin hasumiyar.
52 And Abimelech came up to the tower, and fought against it, and approached as far as the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
Abimelek ya je wajen hasumiya ya kuma auka mata. Amma da ya yi kusa da ƙofar hasumiyar don yă cinna mata wuta,
53 But a certain woman cast a piece of an upper millstone upon Abimelech's head, and crushed his skull.
sai wata mata ta saki ɗan dutsen niƙa a kan Abimelek ta fasa ƙoƙon kansa.
54 Then called he hastily unto the young man that bore his armor, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that people may not say of me, A woman hath slain him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
Da sauri ya kira mai riƙon masa makami ya ce, “Zaro takobinka ka kashe ni, don kada a ce ‘Mace ce ta kashe shi.’” Saboda haka bawansa ya soke shi, ya mutu.
55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man to his place.
Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka ga Abimelek ya mutu, sai suka tafi gida.
56 Thus did God compensate the evil of Abimelech, which he had done unto his father, in slaying his seventy brothers:
Ta haka Allah ya sāka muguntar da Abimelek da ya yi wa mahaifinsa ta wurin kisan’yan’uwansa saba’in.
57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God bring back upon their own head; and there came upon them the curse of Yotham the son of Yerubba'al.
Allah kuma ya sa muguntar mutanen Shekem suka koma kansu. La’anar Yotam ɗan Yerub-Ba’al kuma ta kama su.
