< Judges 3 >

1 And these [are] the nations which YHWH left, to try Israel by them, all who have not known all the wars of Canaan;
Waɗannan su ne al’umman da Ubangiji ya bari don yă gwada duk waɗannan Isra’ilawan da ba su san yaƙi a Kan’ana ba
2 (only for the sake of the generations of the sons of Israel knowing, to teach them war, only those who formerly have not known them)—
(ya yi haka ne domin yă koya wa zuriyar Isra’ilawa waɗanda ba su taɓa yin yaƙi a dā ba),
3 five princes of the Philistines, and all the Canaanite, and the Zidonian, and the Hivite inhabiting Mount Lebanon, from Mount Ba‘al-Hermon to the entering in of Hamath;
sarakuna biyar na Filistiyawa, dukan Kan’aniyawa, Sidoniyawa, da kuma Hiwiyawan da suke zaune a duwatsun Lebanon daga Dutsen Ba’al-Hermon zuwa Lebo Hamat.
4 and they are to prove Israel by them, to know whether they obey the commands of YHWH that He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
An bar su domin su gwada Isra’ilawa a ga ko za su yi biyayya da umarnin Ubangiji, wanda ya ba wa kakanninsu ta wurin Musa.
5 And the sons of Israel have dwelt in the midst of the Canaanite, the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
Isra’ilawa suka zauna tare da Kan’aniyawa da Hittiyawa, Amoriyawa, Ferizziyawa, Hiwiyawa da kuma Yebusiyawa.
6 and take their daughters to them for wives, and have given their daughters to their sons, and they serve their gods;
Suka auri’ya’yansu mata, su ma suka bar’ya’yansu maza suka auri’ya’yansu mata, suka kuma yi wa gumakansu sujada.
7 and the sons of Israel do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and forget their God YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim and the Asheroth.
Isra’ilawa suka aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji; suka manta da Ubangiji Allahnsu suka kuma bauta wa Ba’al da Ashera.
8 And the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He sells them into the hand of Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram-Naharaim, and the sons of Israel serve Chushan-Rishathaim eight years;
Fushin Ubangiji kuwa ya yi ƙuna a kan Isra’ila har ya sayar da su ga Kushan-Rishatayim sarkin Aram-Naharayim, a wurinsa ne Isra’ilawa suka zama bayi shekara takwas.
9 and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH, and YHWH raises a savior to the sons of Israel, and he saves them—Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother;
Amma da suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji, sai ya tad musu da mai ceto, Otniyel ɗan Kenaz, ƙanen Kaleb wanda ya cece su.
10 and the Spirit of YHWH is on him, and he judges Israel, and goes out to battle, and YHWH gives Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into his hand, and his hand is strong against Chushan-Rishathaim;
Ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko masa, domin yă zama mahukuncin Isra’ila yă kuma je yaƙi. Ubangiji ya bayar da Kushan-Rishatayim sarkin Aram a hannun Otniyel, ya kuwa sha ƙarfinsa.
11 and the land rests forty years. And Othniel son of Kenaz dies,
Saboda haka ƙasar ta zauna da lafiya shekara arba’in har sai da Otniyel ɗan Kenaz ya rasu.
12 and the sons of Israel add to do evil in the eyes of YHWH; and YHWH strengthens Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because that they have done evil in the eyes of YHWH;
Isra’ilawa suka sāke aikata mugayen ayyuka a gaban Ubangiji, saboda sun aikata wannan mugunta sai Ubangiji ya ba wa Eglon sarkin Mowab ƙarfi a kan Isra’ila.
13 and he gathers the sons of Ammon and Amalek to himself, and goes and strikes Israel, and they possess the city of palms;
Da ya sami Ammonawa da Amalekawa suka haɗa hannu tare, sai Eglon ya tafi ya auka wa Isra’ila, suka ƙwace Birnin Dabino.
14 and the sons of Israel serve Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
Isra’ilawa suka zama bayin Eglon sarkin Mowab shekara goma sha takwas.
15 And the sons of Israel cry to YHWH, and YHWH raises a savior to them, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite (a man [with] his right hand bound), and the sons of Israel send a present by his hand to Eglon king of Moab;
Isra’ilawa suka sāke yin kuka ga Ubangiji, ya kuwa ba su mai ceto, Ehud, wani bahago, ɗan Gera daga kabilar Benyamin. Isra’ilawa suka aike shi da haraji wurin Eglon sarkin Mowab.
16 and Ehud makes a sword for himself, and it has two mouths (its length [is] a cubit), and he girds it under his long robe on his right thigh;
To, Ehud ya riga ya ƙera takobi mai kaifi biyu mai tsawo wajen kamu ɗaya da rabi, wanda ya yi ɗamara da shi a cinyarsa ta dama ƙarƙashin rigarsa.
17 and he brings the present near to Eglon king of Moab, and Eglon [is] a very fat man.
Ya kai wa Eglon sarkin Mowab harajin, wanda yake mai ƙiba ne.
18 And it comes to pass, when he has finished to bring the present near, that he sends the people carrying the present away,
Bayan Ehud ya ba da harajin, sai ya sallame mutanen da suka ɗauko harajin.
19 and he himself has turned back from the carved images which [are] at Gilgal and says, “I have a secret word for you, O king”; and he says, “Hush!” And all those standing by him go out from him.
A wajen gumaka kusa da Gilgal, shi kansa ya juya ya koma ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, ina da saƙo na asiri dominka.” Sarkin ya ce, “Ku ba mu wuri!” Sai dukan fadawansa suka fita.
20 And Ehud has come to him, and he is sitting in the cool upper chamber which he has for himself, and Ehud says, “I have a word of God for you”; and he rises from off the throne;
Sai Ehud ya matso yayinda shi kuwa yake zaune shi kaɗai a ɗakin sama mai sanyi a fadansa ya ce, “Ina da saƙo daga wurin Allah dominka.” Sarki ya tashi daga kujerarsa,
21 and Ehud puts forth his left hand, and takes the sword from off his right thigh, and thrusts it into his belly;
Ehud ya kai hannun hagunsa, ya zaro takobi daga cinyar ƙafar damansa ya soki sarki a ciki.
22 and the hilt also goes in after the blade, and the fat shuts on the blade, that he has not drawn the sword out of his belly, and he goes out [through] the antechamber [[or and the dung came out]].
Har ƙotar ma ta shige ciki, takobin kuma ya fito ta bayansa. Ehud bai zare takobin ba, kitse kuwa ya rufe shi.
23 And Ehud goes out at the porch, and shuts the doors of the upper chamber on him, and has bolted [it];
Sa’an nan Ehud ya fita daga shirayin; ya rufe ƙofar ɗakin saman, ya kuma kulle su.
24 and he has gone out, and his servants have come in, and look, and behold, the doors of the upper chamber are bolted, and they say, “He is surely covering his feet, [relieving himself, ] in the cool inner chamber.”
Bayan da ya tafi, bayin sarki suka zo suka tarar duk ƙofofin ɗakin sama suna kulle, suka ce, “Wataƙila yana bayan gari ne a ɗakin ciki.”
25 And they stay until confounded, and behold, he is not opening the doors of the upper chamber, and they take the key, and open, and behold, their lord is fallen to the earth—dead.
Suka yi ta jira har suka gaji. Da suka ga dai bai buɗe ƙofar ba, sai suka ɗauki mabuɗi, suka buɗe. Sai ga shugabansu a ƙasa matacce.
26 And Ehud escaped during their lingering, and has passed by the images, and escapes to Seirath.
Yayinda suke fama jira, Ehud ya riga ya yi gaba. Ya bi ta wajen gumaka zuwa Seyira.
27 And it comes to pass, in his coming in, that he blows with a horn in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel go down with him from the hill-country, and he before them;
Da ya iso can, sai ya busa ƙaho a ƙasar tudu ta Efraim, Isra’ilawa kuma suka gangaro tare da shi daga tuddai, shi kuwa yana jagorarsu.
28 and he says to them, “Pursue after me, for YHWH has given your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand”; and they go down after him, and capture the passages of the Jordan toward Moab, and have not permitted a man to pass over.
Ya umarce su ya ce, “Ku bi ni, gama Ubangiji ya ba Mowab abokin gābanku a hannunku.” Haka suka gangaro tare da shi suna mallaki mashigin Urdun da ta shiga zuwa Mowab, ba su yarda wani ya haye ba.
29 And they strike Moab at that time, about ten thousand men, all robust, and everyone a man of valor, and no man has escaped,
A lokacin sun kashe mutanen Mowab dubu goma, dukansu jarumawa da masu ji da ƙarfi; ba ko ɗaya da ya tsira.
30 and Moab is humbled in that day under the hand of Israel; and the land rests [for] eighty years.
A wannan rana aka mai da Mowab bayin Isra’ila, ƙasar kuwa ta sami zaman lafiya shekara takwas.
31 And after him has been Shamgar son of Anath, and he strikes the Philistines—six hundred men—with an ox-goad, and he also saves Israel.
Bayan Ehud, sai Shamgar ɗan Anat, wanda ya karkashe Filistiyawa ɗari shida da sandar korar shanun noma, shi ma ya ceci Isra’ila.
