Joshua 4
1 And it came to pass, when all the nation had made an end of passing over the Jordan, that Yahweh slake unto Joshua, saying:
Da al’umma gaba ɗaya suka ƙetare Urdun, Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa,
2 Take unto you, from among the people, twelve men, one man severally from each tribe;
“Ka zaɓi mutum goma sha biyu daga cikin mutane, ɗaya daga kowace kabila,
3 and command ye them, saying, Take you up from hence, out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where stood the feet of the priests with firm footing, twelve stones; —and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge, tonight.
ka ce musu kowa yă ɗauki dutse ɗaya daga tsakiyar Urdun daidai inda firistoci suka tsaya, ku kai su, ku ajiye a inda za ku sauka yau.”
4 So Joshua called unto the twelve men whom he had made ready, from among the sons of Israel, —one man severally out of each tribe;
Sai Yoshuwa ya kira mutum goma sha biyu da ya zaɓa daga cikin Isra’ilawa, ɗaya daga kowace kabila
5 and Joshua said unto them: Pass ye over, before the ark of Yahweh your God, into the midst of the Jordan, —and lift ye up, each man one stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel:
ya ce musu, “Ku je tsakiyar Urdun inda akwatin alkawari na Ubangiji Allahnku yake. Kowannenku yă ɗauki dutse ɗaya a kafaɗarsa, bisa ga yawan kabilan Isra’ila,
6 that this may be a sign in your midst, —for your sons will ask in time to come, saying, What mean these stones to you?
yă zama muku alama. Nan gaba in yaranku suka tambaye ku suka ce, ‘Mece ce ma’anar kasancewar duwatsun nan a nan?’
7 Then shall ye say unto them—That the waters of the Jordan, were cut off, from before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, when it passed into the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan, were cut off. So shall these stones become a memorial unto the sons of Israel, unto times age-abiding.
Sai ku ce musu, ruwan Urdun ya yanke a gaban akwatin alkawari na Ubangiji, a lokacin da akwatin alkawarin ya ƙetare Urdun. Waɗannan duwatsu za su zama abin tuni ga Isra’ilawa har abada.”
8 And the sons of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as spake Yahweh unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, —and carried them with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
Isra’ilawa kuwa suka yi yadda Yoshuwa ya umarce su. Suka ɗauki duwatsu guda goma sha biyu bisa ga yawan kabilan Isra’ila, yadda Ubangiji ya gaya wa Yoshuwa; suka tafi da su masauƙinsu, a can suka ajiye su.
9 Twelve stones also, did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where stood the feet of the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant, —and they have remained there until this day.
Yoshuwa ya ɗora duwatsu goma sha biyun a tsakiyar Urdun daidai inda firistoci waɗanda suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji suka tsaya. Suna nan a can har wa yau.
10 Now, the priests who were bearing the ark, continued standing in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished which Yahweh commanded Joshua, to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua, —the people therefore hasted, and passed over.
Firistocin da suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawari suka tsaya a tsakiyar Urdun, har aka gama dukan abin da Ubangiji ya umarci Yoshuwa yă gaya wa mutane, kamar yadda Musa ya ce Yoshuwa yă yi. Mutanen suka wuce da sauri.
11 And so it was, as soon as all the people had made an end of passing over, —then passed over the ark of Yahweh, and the priests, in presence of the people.
Sai da dukan mutanen suka wuce sa’an nan akwatin alkawari da firistoci suka sha gaba.
12 Also the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh, passed over, armed, before the sons of Israel, —as Moses had spoken unto them:
Mutanen Ruben, Gad da rabin kabilar Manasse suka ƙetare da shirin yaƙi, suka wuce gaban Isra’ila kamar yadda Musa ya ce su yi.
13 about forty thousand, equipped for the war, passed over before Yahweh, to battle, into the waste plains of Jericho.
Wajen mutum dubu arba’in shirye domin yaƙi, suka wuce a gaban Ubangiji zuwa filayen Yeriko.
14 On that day, did Yahweh magnify Joshua in the eyes of all Israel, —and they revered him, as they revered Moses, all the days of his life.
A ranan nan Ubangiji ya ɗaukaka Yoshuwa a gaban Isra’ilawa; suka kuma ba shi girma dukan kwanakin ransa, kamar yadda suka girmama Musa.
15 Then spake Yahweh unto Joshua, saying:
Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa,
16 Command the priests who are bearing the ark of testimony, —that they come up out of the Jordan.
“Ka umarci firistocin da suke ɗauke da akwatin Shaida su fito daga cikin Urdun.”
17 So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, —Come ye up out of the Jordan.
Sai Yoshuwa ya umarci firistoci ya ce, “Ku fito daga cikin Urdun.”
18 And it came to pass, when the priests who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came up out of the midst of the Jordan, and the soles of the feet of the priests were withdrawn unto the dry ground, then returned the waters of the Jordan unto their place, and went, as before, over all his banks.
Firistocin kuwa suka fito daga kogin ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji. Nan da nan da ƙafafunsu suka taɓa busasshiyar ƙasa, sai ruwan Urdun ya gangaro ya cika kogin kamar yadda yake a dā.
19 So, the people, came up out of the Jordan, on the tenth of the first month, —and encamped in Gilgal, at the eastern end of Jericho.
A rana ta goma ga wata na farko, mutane suka haura daga Urdun suka sauka a Gilgal a gabashin iyakar Yeriko.
20 And, these twelve stones which they took out of the Jordan, did Joshua set up, in Gilgal.
Sai Yoshuwa ya kafa duwatsu goma sha biyun nan da suka ɗauko daga Urdun.
21 Then spake he unto the sons of Israel, saying, —When your sons shall ask, in time to come, of their fathers, saying, —What mean these stones?
Ya ce wa Isra’ilawa, “Nan gaba in yaranku suka tambayi iyayensu suka ce, ‘Mece ce ma’anar waɗannan duwatsun?’
22 then shall ye let your sons know, saying, —On dry ground, came Israel over this Jordan;
Ku ce musu, ‘Isra’ilawa sun ƙetare kogin Urdun a kan busasshiyar ƙasa.’
23 in that Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan, from before you, until ye had passed over, —as Yahweh your God had done unto the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over:
Gama Ubangiji Allahnku ya sa ruwan Urdun ya yanke a gabanku, har sai da kuka gama wucewa, kamar yadda ya yi a Jan Teku, a lokacin da ya busar da shi a gabanmu har sai da muka gama wucewa.
24 that all the peoples of the earth might know the hand of Yahweh, that, firm, it is; that they might revere Yahweh your God, all the days.
Ya yi wannan ne domin dukan mutanen duniya su san cewa Ubangiji mai iko ne, domin kuma ku zama masu tsoron Ubangiji Allahnku.”
