Joshua 8
1 The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed. Take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Look, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, with his people, his city, and his land.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Kada ka ji tsoro; kada ka karaya. Ka ɗauki dukan sojojin ku kai wa Ai hari, gama na ba ka nasara a kan sarkin Ai, mutanensa, birninsa da kuma ƙasarsa.
2 You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king, except its spoil and its livestock, you shall take for a plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it."
Za ku yi wa Ai yadda kuka yi wa Yeriko da sarkinta, sai dai za ku kwashe ganima da dabbobinta su zama naku. Ku yi kwanto a bayan birnin.”
3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them out by night.
Yoshuwa da dukan sojojin suka fita su kai wa Ai hari. Sai ya zaɓi sojojinsa waɗanda suka fi saura duka iya yaƙi guda dubu talatin, ya tura su da dad dare
4 He commanded them, saying, "Look, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.
ya ba su umarni ya ce, “Ku ji da kyau, za ku yi kwanto a bayan birnin, kada ku yi nisa da birnin. Kowannenku yă kasance a faɗake.
5 I, and all the people who are with me, will approach to the city. It shall happen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.
Ni da waɗanda suke tare da ni za mu nufi birnin, a lokacin da mutanen suka taso mana yadda suka yi dā, sai mu guje musu.
6 They will come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, 'They flee before us, like the first time.' So we will flee before them,
Za su bi mu har su yi nisa da birnin, gama za su ce, ‘Suna gudu kamar yadda suka yi dā.’ Saboda haka lokacin da muka guje musu,
7 and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
sai ku tashi daga inda kuka yi kwanto, ku ci birnin da yaƙi, Ubangiji Allahnku zai ba da shi a hannunku.
8 It shall be, when you have seized on the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do this according to the word of the LORD. Look, I have commanded you."
Lokacin da kuka ƙwace birnin, sai ku sa masa wuta. Ku yi abin da Ubangiji ya umarta. Ku tabbata kun yi abubuwan da na ce.”
9 Joshua sent them out; and they went to set up the ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua stayed among the people that night.
Sai Yoshuwa ya sallame su, suka kuma tafi wurin da za su yi kwanto, suka kwanta suna fako tsakanin Betel da Ai, yamma da Ai, amma Yoshuwa ya kwana tare da mutanen.
10 Joshua rose up early in the morning, mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders, before the people to Ai.
Kashegari da sassafe Yoshuwa ya tattara mutanensa, sai shi da shugabannin Isra’ilawa suka sha gaba suka taka zuwa Ai.
11 All the people, even the men of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and camped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.
Dukan sojojin da suke tare da shi suka nufi birnin, da suka kai kuwa sai suka kafa sansaninsu a arewancin Ai. Tsakaninsu da Ai akwai kwari.
12 He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
Yoshuwa ya sa mutum dubu biyar suka yi kwanto tsakanin Betel da Ai, a yammancin birnin.
13 So they set the people, even all the army who was on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
Mutanen suka kafa sansaninsu arewa da birnin, sansani na’yan kwanto kuwa yana yamma da birnin, amma Yoshuwa ya kwana a kwarin.
14 And it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that he hurried and rose up early, and the men of the city went out to engage them directly in battle, he and all his people, to the meeting place in front of the Arabah; but he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.
Sa’ad da sarkin Ai ya ga haka, shi da duk mutanen birnin suka hanzarta da sassafe don su gamu da Isra’ilawa, su yi yaƙi da su a wani wurin da yake fuskantar Araba. Amma bai san cewa an yi masa kwanto a bayan birnin ba.
15 Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Yoshuwa da duk Isra’ilawa suka bari aka fafare su, sai suka gudu zuwa cikin jeji.
16 All the people who were in the city were called together to pursue after them. They pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Aka kira duk mazan Ai su fafare su, suka kuwa fafari Yoshuwa, aka yaudare su suka yi nisa da birnin.
17 There was not a man left in Ai or Beth El who did not go out after Israel. They left the city open, and pursued Israel.
Ba namijin da ya rage a Ai ko Betel da bai fita don yă fafari Isra’ilawa ba. Suka bar birnin a buɗe, suka tafi fafarar Isra’ilawa.
18 The LORD said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.
Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ka riƙe māshin da yake hannunka ka nuna wajen Ai, gama zan ba da birnin a hannunka.” Yoshuwa kuwa ya miƙa māshin ta wajen Ai.
19 The ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it. They hurried and set the city on fire.
Da yin haka kuwa sai mutanen da suka yi kwanto suka tashi nan da nan daga inda suke, suka nufi birnin a guje, suka shiga suka ci birnin da yaƙi, suka kuma cinna mata wuta da sauri.
20 When the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and look, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way. The people who fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.
Mutanen Ai suka juya suka ga hayaƙin birninsu yana tashi sama, amma ba yadda za su iya tsira ta ko’ina, gama Isra’ilawan da suke gudu zuwa cikin jeji suka juya suka fara fafarar waɗanda suke fafararsu.
21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and killed the men of Ai.
Lokacin da Yoshuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka ga waɗanda suka yi kwanto sun ci birnin da yaƙi, hayaƙi kuwa ya cika birnin, sai suka juya suka kai wa mutanen Ai hari.
22 The others came out of the city against them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side. They struck them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
Mutanen da suka yi kwanto su ma suka fito daga birnin suka tasar musu, ya zama an kama su a tsakiya, ga Isra’ilawa daga kowane gefe. Isra’ilawa kuwa suka karkashe su duka ba su bar wani da rai ba, ba kuma wanda ya tsere.
23 They captured the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Amma suka tafi da sarkin Ai da rai suka kawo shi wurin Yoshuwa.
24 And it came to pass when Israel had made an end of killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the plains, and on the mountain on the slope, where they pursued them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed, then all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.
Da Isra’ilawa suka gama kashe duk mutanen Ai a filaye da kuma a cikin jeji inda suka fafare su, kuma da aka karkashe kowane mutumin Ai da takobi sai dukan Isra’ilawa suka koma Ai suka karkashe duk waɗanda suke cikinsa.
25 All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
A ranan nan, dukan mutanen Ai da aka kashe, mutum dubu goma sha biyu ne maza da mata.
26 For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Gama Yoshuwa bai janye hannunsa da yake riƙe da māshinsa ba har sai da ya hallaka dukan mazaunan Ai.
27 Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey to themselves, according to the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.
Amma Isra’ilawa suka kwashe ganima da dabbobin birnin nan yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Yoshuwa.
28 So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.
Yoshuwa kuwa ya ƙone Ai, ya mai da ita tarin ƙasa, ta zama kufai har wa yau.
29 He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until the evening, and at the sundown Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised a great heap of stones on it that remains to this day.
Ya rataye sarkin Ai a kan itace, ya bar shi a can har yamma. Da rana ta fāɗi, Yoshuwa ya umarta a ɗauke gawar sarkin a jefa a gaban ƙofar birnin. Suka kuma tara manyan duwatsu a kan gawar, tsibin na nan har wa yau.
30 Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
Yoshuwa kuwa ya yi wa Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila bagade a Dutsen Ebal,
31 as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, "an altar of uncut stones, on which no man has touched with an iron tool." They offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
kamar yadda Musa bawan Ubangiji ya umarci Isra’ilawa. Ya gina bisa ga abin da yake a rubuce a cikin Littafin Dokoki na Musa, bagade na duwatsun da ba a sassaƙa su ba, waɗanda ba wani ƙarfen da ya taɓa su. Suka miƙa wa Ubangiji hadayu na ƙonawa da hadayu na salama a kai.
32 He wrote there on the stones a copy of the Law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
A can, a gaban Isra’ilawa, Yoshuwa ya rubuta dokokin Musa a kan duwatsun.
33 All Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who carried the ark of the LORD's covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the children of Israel.
Sai Isra’ilawa duka, da baƙi, da haifaffun gida, da dattawansu, da shugabanninsu, da alƙalansu, suka tsaya a gefe-gefen akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, suna fuskantar waɗanda suke ɗauke da shi, wato, firistoci waɗanda su ne Lawiyawa. Rabin mutanen suka tsaya a gaban Dutsen Gerizim, rabinsu kuma suka tsaya a gaban Dutsen Ebal, kamar yadda Musa bawan Ubangiji ya riga ya umarta, cewa su sa wa mutanen Isra’ilawa albarka.
34 Afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
Bayan haka, Yoshuwa ya karanta duk abin da yake a cikin Dokoki, albarku da la’anoni, kamar yadda suke a rubuce a cikin Littafin Dokoki.
35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who were among them.
Babu wata kalmar da Musa ya umarta da Yoshuwa bai karanta wa dukan taron Isra’ilawa ba, haɗe da mata, da yara, da baƙin da suke zama tare da su.
