Joshua 9
1 And it was when heard all the kings who [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan in the hill country and in the Shephelah and in all [the] coast of the sea great to [the] front of Lebanon the Hittite[s] and the Amorite[s] the Canaanite[s] the Perizzite[s] the Hivite[s] and the Jebusite[s].
To, sa’ad da dukan sarakunan yammancin Urdun suka ji waɗannan abubuwa, sai waɗanda suke kan tudu, da na cikin kwari a yammanci, da dukan waɗanda suke gefen Bahar Rum har zuwa Lebanon (sarakunan Hittiyawa, Amoriyawa, Kan’aniyawa, Ferizziyawa, Hiwiyawa da Yebusiyawa)
2 And they gathered together all together to wage war with Joshua and with Israel mouth one.
suka haɗa kansu don su yaƙi Yoshuwa da Isra’ila.
3 And [the] inhabitants of Gibeon they heard [that] which he had done Joshua to Jericho and to Ai.
Amma da mutanen Gibeyon suka ji abin da Yoshuwa ya yi wa Yeriko da Ai,
4 And they acted also they with cunning and they went and they acted as ambassadors and they took sacks worn out for donkeys their and skin-bottles of wine worn out and split and tied up.
sai suka shirya wata dabara ta ruɗu, suka shirya ɗan abinci don tafiya, suka ɗauki tsofaffin buhuna a kan jakunansu da tsofaffin salkuna na ruwan inabi, yagaggu da suka sha ɗinki.
5 And sandals worn out and patched [were] on feet their and garments worn out [were] on them and all [the] bread of provision[s] their it was dried up it was crumbs.
Suka sa tsofaffin takalman da suka sha gyara, suka sa tsofaffin tufafi. Dukan abincinsu na tafiya ya bushe ya yi fumfuna.
6 And they went to Joshua to the camp Gilgal and they said to him and to [the] man of Israel from a land distant we have come and therefore make to us a covenant.
Sai suka je wurin Yoshuwa a sansanin Gilgal suka ce masa da mutanen Isra’ila, “Daga ƙasa mai nisa muka fito, yanzu fa, sai ku yi alkawari da mu.”
7 (And he said *Q(K)*) [the] man of Israel to the Hivite[s] perhaps in midst my you [are] dwelling and how? (will I make *Q(k)*) to you a covenant.
Mutanen Isra’ila kuwa suka ce wa Hiwiyawa, “Wataƙila kuna kusa da mu, ta yaya za mu yi alkawari da ku?”
8 And they said to Joshua [are] servants your we and he said to them Joshua who? [are] you and from where? do you come.
Suka ce wa Yoshuwa, “Mu bayinku ne.” Amma Yoshuwa ya tambaye su ya ce, “Ku wane ne, kuma daga ina kuka zo?”
9 And they said to him from a land distant very they have come servants your to [the] name of Yahweh God your for we have heard [the] report of him and all that he did in Egypt.
Suka amsa suka ce, “Bayinka sun zo ne daga ƙasa mai nisa gama Ubangiji Allahnka ya yi suna sosai. Gama mun ji labarin abubuwan da ya yi. Dukan abubuwan da ya yi a Masar
10 And - all that he did to [the] two [the] kings of the Amorite[s] who [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan to Sihon [the] king of Heshbon and to Og [the] king of Bashan who [was] in Ashtaroth.
da kuma duk abubuwan da ya yi wa sarakuna biyu na Amoriyawa gabas da Urdun, Sihon sarkin Heshbon, da Og sarkin Bashan wanda ya yi mulki a Ashtarot.
11 And they said to us elders our and all [the] inhabitants of land our saying take in hand your provision[s] for the journey and go to meet them and you will say to them [are] servants your we and therefore make to us a covenant.
Dattawanmu da duk mazaunan ƙasar, suka ce mana, ‘Ku ɗauki abincin tafiyar da za ku riƙe; ku je ku same su ku ce musu, “Mu bayinku ne, ku yi alkawari da mu.”’
12 This - bread our warm we took as our provisions it from homes our on [the] day came out we to come to you and now here! it has dried up and it has been crumbs.
Abincin tafiyan nan namu yana da ɗumi lokacin da muka kintsa tashi daga gida a ranar da za mu kama hanya zuwa wurinku. Amma yanzu duba yadda ya bushe, ya yi fumfuna.
13 And these [the] skin-bottles of wine which we filled new and here! they have split and these garments our and sandals our they have worn out from [the] greatness of the journey very.
Waɗannan salkuna kuma da muka cika ruwan inabi, sababbi ne amma duba yadda suka yayyage. Tufafinmu da takalmanmu duk sun yayyage don doguwar tafiya.”
14 And they took the men some of provision[s] their and [the] mouth of Yahweh not they asked.
Mutanen Isra’ila suka ɗiba daga cikin abincin tafiyar amma ba su nemi nufin Ubangiji ba.
15 And he made to them Joshua peace and he made to them a covenant to let live them and they swore an oath to them [the] leaders of the congregation.
Sa’an nan Yoshuwa ya yi alkawari zaman salama da su, cewa ba zai kashe su ba, sai shugabannin mutanen Isra’ila kuwa suka tabbatar musu da haka ta wurin yin rantsuwa.
16 And it was from [the] end of three days after that they had made to them a covenant and they heard that [were] near they to him and in midst his they [were] dwelling.
Kwana uku bayan sun yi alkawari da Gibeyonawa, sai Isra’ilawa suka ji cewa Gibeyonawa maƙwabtansu ne, waɗanda suke zaune kurkusa da su.
17 And they set out [the] people of Israel and they came to cities their on the day third and cities their [were] Gibeon and Kephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath Jearim.
Saboda haka Isra’ilawa suka tashi a rana ta uku suke je biranen mutanen, wato, Gibeyon, Kefira, Beyerot da Kiriyat Yeyarim.
18 And not they attacked them [the] people of Israel for they had sworn an oath to them [the] leaders of the congregation by Yahweh [the] God of Israel and they grumbled all the congregation on the leaders.
Amma Isra’ilawa ba su kai musu hari ba domin shugabanninsu sun rantse musu da sunan Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila. Mutane Isra’ila duka kuwa suka yi gunaguni a kan shugabannin.
19 And they said all the leaders to all the congregation we we have sworn an oath to them by Yahweh [the] God of Israel and therefore not we are able to touch them.
Amma shugabanni suka amsa musu suka ce, “Mun rantse musu da sunan Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, saboda haka ba za mu taɓa su ba yanzu.
20 This we will do to them and we will let live them and not it will be towards us wrath on the oath which we swore to them.
Ga abin da za mu yi musu, za mu bar su da rai don kada fushin Allah yă sauka a kanmu gama mun riga mun rantse musu.”
21 And they said to them the leaders let them live and they were cutters of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation just as they had spoken to them the leaders.
Suka ƙara da cewa, “Mu bar su da rai, amma bari su zama masu yankan itace da masu ɗibo mana ruwa.” Haka shugabannin suka cika alkawarinsu.
22 And he summoned them Joshua and he spoke to them saying why? did you deceive us saying [are] distant we from you very and you in midst our [are] dwelling.
Yoshuwa kuwa ya aika aka kira Gibeyonawa ya ce musu, “Don me kuka ruɗe mu kuka ce, ‘Mun zo ne daga wuri mai nisa,’ bayan kuwa kuna nan kurkusa da mu?
23 And therefore [are] cursed you and not he will be cut off from you a slave and cutters of wood and drawers of water for [the] house of God my.
Yanzu ku la’anannu ne. Ba za ku daina zama mana masu yankan itace da kuma masu ɗebo ruwa domin haikalin Allahnmu ba.”
24 And they answered Joshua and they said that certainly it was told to servants your this: he had commanded Yahweh God your Moses servant his to give to you all the land and to destroy all [the] inhabitants of the land from before you and we were afraid very for lives our because of you and we did the thing this.
Suka amsa wa Yoshuwa suka ce, “An gaya wa bayinka dalla-dalla yadda Ubangiji Allahnka ya umarci bawansa Musa yă ba ka ƙasar duka, ka kuma kashe duk masu zama a cikinta, muka ji tsoro cewa za ka kashe mu shi ya sa muka yi haka.
25 And therefore here we [are] in hand your according to the good and according to the right in view your to do to us do.
Yanzu, a hannunka muke, ka yi duk abin da ka ga ya yi maka kyau.”
26 And he did to them thus and he delivered them from [the] hand of [the] people of Israel and not they killed them.
Yoshuwa kuwa ya cece su daga hannun Isra’ilawa, har ba su kashe su ba.
27 And he made them Joshua on the day that cutters of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for [the] altar of Yahweh until the day this to the place which he will choose.
A ranar Yoshuwa ya sa Gibeyonawa suka zama masu yankan itace da ɗebo ruwa wa jama’ar Isra’ila da kuma domin haikalin Ubangiji a inda Ubangiji zai zaɓa. Abin da suke ke nan har wa yau.
