< Deuteronomy 4 >
1 “And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and to the judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that you live, and have gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH God of your fathers is giving to you.
To, ku ji, ya Isra’ila, ku kasa kunne ga ƙa’idodi da dokokin da nake shirin koya muku. Ku bi su domin ku yi tsawon rai, ku kuma shiga ku mallaki ƙasar da Ubangiji, Allahn kakanninku yake ba ku.
2 You do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor diminish from it, to keep the commands of your God YHWH which I am commanding you.
Kada ku ƙara, kada ku rage daga cikin abin da nake umarce ku. Amma ku kiyaye umarnan nan na Ubangiji Allahnku, da na ba ku.
3 Your eyes are seeing that which YHWH has done in Ba‘al-Peor, for every man who has gone after Ba‘al-Peor, your God YHWH has destroyed him from your midst;
Da idanunku, kun ga abin da Ubangiji ya yi a Ba’al-Feyor. Yadda Ubangiji Allahnku ya hallaka waɗansu daga cikinku waɗanda suka yi wa Ba’al-Feyor sujada,
4 and you who are cleaving to your God YHWH [are] alive today—all of you.
Amma ku da kuka manne ga Ubangiji Allahnku, kuna da rai har wa yau.
5 See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as my God YHWH has commanded me, to do so in the midst of the land to where you are going in to possess it;
Ga shi, na koya muku ƙa’idodi da dokoki, yadda Ubangiji Allahna ya umarce ni, don ku bi su a ƙasar da za ku shiga ku mallaki.
6 and you have kept and done [them] (for it [is] your wisdom and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear all these statutes, and they have said, Surely a people wise and understanding [is] this great nation.
Ku kiyaye su, ku aikata su, gama yin haka zai tabbatar wa sauran al’ummai, kuna da hikima da ganewa. Sa’ad da al’ummai za su ji waɗannan dokoki, za su ce, “Ba shakka, wannan babbar al’umma tana da hikima da ganewa.”
7 For which [is] the great nation that has God [so] near to it, as our God YHWH, in all we have called to Him?
Wace al’umma ce mai girma haka wadda allolinta take kusa da su yadda Ubangiji Allahnmu yake kusa da mu a duk sa’ad da muka yi addu’a gare shi?
8 And which [is] the great nation which has righteous statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am setting before you today?
Wace al’umma ce mai girma haka wadda take da ƙa’idodi da dokoki masu adalci kamar waɗannan ƙunshin dokokin da nake sa a gabanku a yau?
9 Only, take heed to yourself, and watch your soul exceedingly, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they turn aside from your heart all [the] days of your life; and you have made them known to your sons and to your sons’ sons.
Ku kula, ku kuma lura da kanku sosai, don kada ku manta da abubuwan da idanunku suka gani, ko kuwa ku bari su fita daga zuciyarku muddin ranku. Ku koyar da su ga’ya’yanku, da’ya’yan’ya’yanku.
10 [Never forget] the day when you have stood before your God YHWH in Horeb, in YHWH’s saying to me, Assemble the people to Me, and I cause them to hear My words, so that they learn to fear Me all the days that they are alive on the ground, and they teach their sons;
Ku tuna da ranar da kuka tsaya a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku a Horeb, sa’ad da ya ce mini, “Ka tara mutane a gabana, don su ji maganata, su koya yin mini bangirma muddin ransu a ƙasar, su kuma iya koyar da su ga’ya’yansu.”
11 and you draw near and stand under the mountain, and the mountain is burning with fire to the heart of the heavens, [with] darkness, cloud, and thick darkness,
Sai kuka matso kusa, kuka tsaya a gindin dutse yayinda yana cin wuta har zuwa sararin sama, ga kuma baƙin gizagizai da kuma baƙin duhu.
12 and YHWH speaks to you out of the midst of the fire; you are hearing a voice of words, but you are seeing no likeness, only a voice;
Sai Ubangiji ya yi magana daga wutar. Kuka ji furcin kalmomin, amma ba ku ga siffar kome ba, sai dai murya kaɗai kuka ji.
13 and He declares His covenant to you, which He has commanded you to do, the Ten Commandments, and He writes them on two tablets of stone.
Ya furta alkawarinsa gare ku, Dokoki Goma, waɗanda ya umarce ku ku bi, ya kuma rubuta su a alluna biyu.
14 And YHWH has commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, for your doing them in the land to where you are passing over to possess it.
Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya umarce ni a wannan lokaci, in koya muku ƙa’idodi da dokokin da za ku bi a ƙasar da kuke hayewa Urdun don mallake.
15 And you have been very watchful of your souls, for you have not seen any likeness in the day of YHWH’s speaking to you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
Ba ku ga wata siffa a ranar da Ubangiji ya yi magana da ku a Horeb daga wuta ba. Saboda haka ku lura da kanku sosai,
16 lest you do corruptly, and have made for yourselves a carved image, a likeness of any figure: a form of male or female,
don kada ku lalace, ku kuma yi wa kanku gunki, siffa ta wani kama, ko a kamannin namiji, ko kuwa ta mace,
17 a form of any beast which [is] in the earth, a form of any winged bird which flies in the heavens,
ko a kamannin wata dabba a duniya, ko na wani tsuntsun da yake tashi a sama,
18 a form of any creeping thing on the ground, a form of any fish which [is] in the waters below the earth.
ko kuwa a kamannin wata halittar da take rarrafe a ƙasa, ko na wani kifi a cikin ruwaye a ƙarƙashi.
19 And lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens, and have seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of the heavens, and have been drawn away, and have bowed yourself to them and served them, which your God YHWH has apportioned to all the peoples under all the heavens.
Sa’ad da kuka ɗaga ido kuka kali sama, kuka ga rana da wata, da taurari, da dukan halittun sama, sai ku kula fa, kada ku jarrabtu, ku ce za ku yi musu sujada, ko ku bauta musu; abubuwan nan Ubangiji Allahnku ne ya rarraba wa dukan al’umman da suke ko’ina a ƙarƙashin sararin sama.
20 And YHWH has taken you, and He is bringing you out from the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to Him for a people, an inheritance, as [at] this day.
Amma ku, Ubangiji ya ɗauke ku, ya fid da ku daga matuya mai narken ƙarfe, wato, daga Masar, domin ku zama jama’arsa ta musamman kamar yadda kuke a yau.
21 And YHWH has showed Himself angry with me because of your words, and swears to my not passing over the Jordan, and to my not going into the good land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance;
Ubangiji ya yi fushi da ni saboda ku, ya kuma yi rantsuwa cewa ba zan haye Urdun, in shiga ƙasan nan mai kyau da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku gādo ba.
22 for I am dying in this land; I am not passing over the Jordan, but you are passing over and have possessed this good land.
Zan mutu a wannan ƙasa; ba zan haye Urdun ba; amma kuna gab da ƙetarewa, ku mallaki wannan ƙasa mai kyau.
23 Take heed to yourselves lest you forget the covenant of your God YHWH which He has made with you, and have made a carved image for yourselves, a likeness of anything [concerning] which your God YHWH has charged you;
Ku yi hankali kada ku manta da alkawarin da Ubangiji Allahnku ya yi da ku; kada fa ku yi wa kanku gunki a kamannin wani abin da Ubangiji Allahnku ya hana.
24 for your God YHWH is a consuming fire—a zealous God.
Gama Ubangiji Allahnku wuta ne mai ƙuna, Allah ne mai kishi.
25 When you beget sons and sons’ sons, and you have become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made a carved image, a likeness of anything, and have done evil in the eyes of YHWH to provoke Him to anger,
Bayan kun haifi’ya’ya da jikoki, kuka kuma zauna na dogon lokaci a ƙasar, in har kuka lalace, kuka kuma yi wani irin gunki, kuna aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku, kuna kuma sa shi fushi.
26 I have caused the heavens and the earth to testify against you this day, that you perish utterly quickly from off the land to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it; you do not prolong days on it, but are utterly destroyed;
Yau, na kira sama da duniya, su zama shaidata a kanku. Idan kuka yi rashin biyayya, lalle za ku hallaka nan da nan daga ƙasar da kuke ƙetare Urdun ku gāda. Ba za ku daɗe a cikinta ba, amma za a kawar da ku ƙaƙaf.
27 and YHWH has scattered you among the peoples, and you have been left few in number among the nations to where YHWH leads you,
Ubangiji zai watsar da ku a cikin mutane, ɗan kaɗan ne kaɗai za su ragu a cikin al’umman da Ubangiji zai kai ku.
28 and you have served gods there, work of man’s hands, wood and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
A can za ku bauta wa allolin da mutum ya yi, na itace da dutse da ba sa gani, ba sa ji, ba sa ci, ba kuma iya sansanawa.
29 And you have sought your God YHWH from there, and have found [Him] when you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Amma daga can in kuka nemi Ubangiji Allahnku, da dukan zuciyarku da kuma dukan ranku, za ku same shi.
30 In the distress of yours, when all these things have found you in the latter end of the days, and you have turned back to your God YHWH and have listened to His voice—
Sa’ad da kuke cikin wahala saboda waɗannan abubuwan da suka same ku nan gaba, to, sai ku juyo ga Ubangiji Allahnku, ku kuma yi masa biyayya.
31 for your God YHWH [is] a merciful God—He does not fail you, nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He has sworn to them.
Gama Ubangiji Allahnku, Allah ne mai jinƙai; ba zai yashe ku ko yă hallaka, ko kuma yă manta da alkawarin da ya yi da kakanninku, wanda ya tabbatar da su da rantsuwa ba.
32 For ask now of the former days which have been before you, from the day that God created man on the earth, and from the [one] end of the heavens even to the [other] end of the heavens, whether there has been as this great thing, or [if anything] has been heard like it.
Ku bincika dukan tarihi mana, tun daga lokacin da Allah ya halicci mutane a cikin duniya har yă zuwa yanzu; ku tantambaya daga wannan kusurwa ta samaniya zuwa waccan, ko wani babban abu irin wannan ya taɓa faruwa, ko kuma an taɓa jin labarin irinsa?
33 Has a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, you—and live?
Akwai waɗansu mutanen da suka taɓa jin muryar Allah yana magana daga wuta, kamar yadda kuka ji har suka rayu?
34 Or has God tried to go in to take a nation for Himself from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that your God YHWH has done to you in Egypt before your eyes?
Akwai wani allahn da ya taɓa yin ƙoƙari yă ɗauko wa kansa wata al’umma daga wata al’umma, ta wurin gwaje-gwaje, ta wurin alamu masu banmamaki da al’ajabai, ta wurin yaƙi, ta wurin hannu mai iko, da kuma hannu mai ƙarfi, ko kuwa ta wurin ayyuka masu bangirma da na banmamaki, kamar dukan abubuwan da Ubangiji Allahnku ya yi saboda ku a Masar, a kan idanunku?
35 You—you have been shown [it], to know that He, YHWH, [is] God; there is none else besides Him.
An nuna muku dukan waɗannan abubuwa saboda ku san cewa Ubangiji, shi ne Allah; ban da shi, babu wani.
36 He has caused you to hear His voice from the heavens, to instruct you; and on earth He has showed you His great fire, and you have heard His words out of the midst of the fire.
Daga sama ya sa kuka ji muryarsa, don yă hore ku. A duniya ya nuna muku wutarsa mai girma, kuka kuma ji kalmominsa daga wuta.
37 And because that He has loved your fathers, He also fixes on their seed after them, and brings you out in His presence, by His great power, from Egypt,
Domin ya ƙaunaci kakanninku, ya kuma zaɓi zuriyarsu a bayansu, ya fitar da ku daga Masar ta wurin kasancewarsa da kuma ƙarfinsa mai girma,
38 to dispossess nations greater and stronger than you from your presence, to bring you in to give their land to you [for] an inheritance, as [at] this day.
don yă fitar da ku a gaban al’ummai da suka fi ku girma da kuma ƙarfi, ya kawo ku cikin ƙasarsu, don yă ba ku ita ta zama gādonku, kamar yadda yake a yau.
39 And you have known today, and have turned [it] back to your heart, that He, YHWH, [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth below—there is none else;
Ku sani, ku kuma riƙe a zuciya a wannan rana, cewa Ubangiji shi ne Allah a sama da kuma a ƙasa. Babu wani kuma.
40 and you have kept His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you today, so that it is well for you, and for your sons after you, and so that you prolong days on the ground which your God YHWH is giving to you—all the days.”
Ku kiyaye ƙa’idodi da umarnai, waɗanda nake ba ku a yau, domin zaman lafiyarku da kuma na zuriyarku bayan ba ku, domin kuma ku yi tsawon rai a ƙasa wadda Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku har abada.
41 Then Moses separates three cities beyond the Jordan, toward the sun-rising,
Sa’an nan Musa ya keɓe birane uku gabas da Urdun,
42 for the fleeing there of the manslayer who slays his neighbor unknowingly, and he is not hating him before, and he has fled to one of these cities and he has lived:
waɗanda duk wanda ya yi kisankai, in ba da gangan ba ne ya kashe maƙwabcinsa, wanda babu ƙiyayya tsakaninsu a dā, zai iya gudu zuwa. Zai iya gudu zuwa cikin ɗaya daga waɗannan birane, yă tsira da ransa.
43 Bezer in the wilderness, in the land of the plain, for the Reubenite; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadite; and Golan in Bashan for the Manassite.
Biranen kuwa su ne, Bezer a dutsen hamada, don mutanen Ruben; Ramot Gileyad, don mutanen Gad; da kuma Golan a Bashan, don mutanen Manasse.
44 And this [is] the law which Moses has set before the sons of Israel;
Wannan ita ce dokar da Musa ya sa a gaban Isra’ilawa.
45 these [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses has spoken to the sons of Israel in their coming out of Egypt,
Waɗannan su ne farillai, ƙa’idodi da kuma dokokin da Musa ya ba su, sa’ad da suka fito daga Masar.
46 beyond the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel have struck in their coming out of Egypt;
Sa’ad da suke a kwari kusa da Bet-Feyor, gabas da Urdun, a ƙasar Sihon sarkin Amoriyawa, wanda ya yi mulki a Heshbon, da Musa da Isra’ilawa suka ci da yaƙi sa’ad da suka fito daga Masar.
47 and they possess his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan, [toward] the sun-rising,
Suka mallaki ƙasarsa da kuma ƙasar Og sarkin Bashan, sarakuna biyu na Amoriyawa, gabas da Urdun.
48 from Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the Brook of Arnon, even to Mount Zion, which [is] Hermon—
Wannan ƙasa ta tashi daga Arower a kewayen Kwarin Arnon zuwa Dutsen Siyon (wato, Hermon),
49 and all the plain beyond the Jordan eastward, even to the Sea of the Plain, below the Springs of Pisgah.
ya kuma haɗa da dukan Araba gabas da Urdun, har zuwa tekun Araba a gindin gangaren Fisga.
