Judges 1
1 After Joshua died, the Israeli people asked Yahweh, “Which [of our tribes] should attack the Canaan people-group first?”
Bayan da Yoshuwa ya rasu, Isra’ilawa suka tambayi Ubangiji suka ce, “Wane ne zai fara tafiya don yă yaƙi Kan’aniyawa dominmu?”
2 Yahweh replied, “I will enable the tribe of Judah to defeat [IDM] the Canaan people-group.”
Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Yahuda zai tafi. Na riga na ba da ƙasar a hannunsu.”
3 The men of Judah went to their fellow Israelis, [the men] from the tribe of Simeon, and said to them, “Come and help us to fight the Canaan people-group [in order that we can take from them] the land [that Yahweh] allotted to us. If you do that, we will go with you [and help you] conquer the people in the land [that Yahweh promised to give to] you.” So the men from the tribe of Simeon went with the men of the tribe of Judah.
Sa’an nan mutane Yahuda suka ce wa mutanen Simeyon “Ku zo tare da mu a yankin da aka ba mu rabon mu don mu yaƙi Kan’aniyawa. Mu ma mu bi ku wurin naku.” Saboda haka mutanen Simeyon suka tafi tare da su.
4 When the men of those two tribes attacked, Yahweh enabled them to defeat 10,000 men of the Canaan people-group and the Periz people-group [DOU] at Bezek [city].
Sa’ad da Yahuda ya fāɗa musu, Ubangiji kuwa ya ba da Kan’aniyawa da Ferizziyawa a hannunsu, suka kuwa kashe mutum dubu goma a Bezek.
5 During the battle they found Adoni-Bezek, the leader of the city,
A can suka iske Adoni-Bezek, suka yaƙe shi, suka fatattaki Kan’aniyawa da Ferizziyawa.
6 but he [tried to] run away. The Israelis pursued him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and his big toes.
Sai Adoni-Bezek ya gudu, amma suka bi shi suka kama shi, suka yayyanka manyan yatsotsinsa na hannu da na ƙafa.
7 Adoni-Bezek said, “[My army captured] 70 kings. We cut off their thumbs and big toes. After that, [we forced] those kings to eat scraps that fell from our table. Now God has (paid me back for/done to me like) [what we did to them].” Then the men of Judah took Adoni-Bezek to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Sa’an nan Adoni-Bezek ya ce, “Sarakuna saba’in waɗanda aka yayyanka manyan yatsotsinsu na hannu da na ƙafa, sun yi kalan abinci a ƙarƙashin teburina. Ga shi yanzu Allah ya rama abin da na yi musu.” Suka zo da shi Urushalima, a can kuwa ya mutu.
8 The army of Judah fought against the men of Jerusalem, and they captured the city. With their swords they killed [the people who lived there] and they burned [the houses in] the city.
Mutanen Yahuda suka yaƙi Urushalima ita ma suka ci ta. Suka karkashe mutanen birnin suka cinna mata wuta.
9 Later, the men of Judah went down to fight the Canaan people-group who lived in the hilly area, in the desert to the south, and in the foothills [to the west].
Bayan wannan, mutanen Yahuda suka gangara suka yaƙi Kan’aniyawan da suke zaune a ƙasar tudu, Negeb, da gindin tuddai a yammanci.
10 The men of Judah also went to fight against the Canaan people-group who lived in Hebron [city], which at that time was named Kiriath-Arba. They defeated [the armies of kings] Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
Suka ci gaba suka yaƙi Kan’aniyawan da suke zaune a Hebron (wadda dā ake kira Kiriyat Arba) suka kuma ci Sheshai, Ahiman da Talmai da yaƙi.
11 Then they left that area and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
Daga nan kuma suka ci gaba suka yaƙi mutanen da suke zaune a Debir (da ake kira a dā Kiriyat Sefer).
12 [Before they attacked the city], Caleb said to them, “If one of you attacks and captures Kiriath-Sepher, I will allow him to marry my daughter.”
Sai Kaleb ya ce, “Duk wanda ya fāɗa wa Kiriyat Sefer ya kuma ci ta da yaƙi, zan ba shi’yata Aksa yă aura.”
13 Othniel, who was the son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him, to become his wife.
Sai Otniyel ɗan Kenaz, ƙanen Kaleb ya ci birnin, saboda haka Kaleb ya ba shi’yarsa Aksa ya aura.
14 When Acsah married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give him a field. [But she decided to ask him herself. She rode to Caleb’s house on her donkey], and when she got off the donkey, Caleb [could see that something was troubling her. So he] asked her, “What do you want?”
Wata rana da ta zo wurin Otniyel, sai ta zuga shi yă roƙi mahaifinta fili. Sa’ad da ta sauko daga jakinta, sai Kaleb ya ce mata, “Me zan yi miki?”
15 She replied, “I want you to do a favor for me. You have given me some land in the southern desert, [but it is very dry there]. So please also give me some [land that has] springs of water.” So Caleb gave her some land on higher ground that had a spring, and some land on lower ground that also had a spring.
Sai ta ce, “Ka yi mini alheri na musamman. Da yake ka ba ni ƙasa a Negeb, to, sai ka ba ni maɓulɓulan ruwa kuma.” Sai Kaleb ya ba ta maɓulɓulan bisa da kuma na ƙasa.
16 The people of the Ken people-group who were descendants of Moses’ father-in-law left Jericho, which was called ‘The City of Palm Trees’. They went with some of the men of Judah to live with them in the southern desert area, near Arad [city].
Zuriyar surukin Musa, Keniyawa, suka haura daga Birnin dabino tare da mutanen Yahuda don su zauna cikin mutanen Hamadan Yahuda a cikin Negeb kusa da Arad.
17 The men of Judah and their fellow Israelis from the tribe of Simeon defeated the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Zephath [city]. They completely destroyed the city and gave it a new name, Hormah, [which means ‘complete destruction’].
Sa’an nan mutanen Yahuda suka tafi tare da’yan’uwansu mutanen Simeyon suka fāɗa wa Kan’aniyawan da suke zaune cikin Zefat, suka kuwa hallaka birnin gaba ɗaya. Saboda haka aka kira wurin Horma.
18 The men of Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ekron [cities] and all the land that is near those cities.
Mutanen Yahuda kuma suka ci Gaza, Ashkelon, da Ekron, kowace birni tare da yankinsa.
19 Yahweh helped the men of Judah to capture the hilly area, but they could not force the people who were living in the plains to leave, because [those people had better weapons—] had iron chariots.
Ubangiji kuwa yana tare da mutane Yahuda. Suka mallaki ƙasar tudu, amma ba su iya suka kori mutanen daga filaye ba, domin suna da keken yaƙin ƙarfe.
20 Hebron [city] was given to Caleb because Moses had promised him that he could have that city. And Caleb forced the three clans descended from Anak to leave that area.
Yadda Musa ya yi alkawari, sai aka ba Kaleb Hebron, wanda ya kori daga cikinta’ya’ya maza uku na Anak.
21 But the people of the tribe of Benjamin could not force the people of the Jebus people-group to leave Jerusalem. So, since that time the people of the Jebus people-group have lived in Jerusalem with the people of the tribe of Benjamin.
Ko da yake mutanen Benyamin sun kāsa su kori Yebusiyawa, waɗanda suke zaune a Urushalima; har yă zuwa yau, Yebusiyawa suna zaune a can tare da mutanen Benyamin.
22 The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh went to fight against [the men of] Bethel [city], and Yahweh helped them.
To, gidan Yusuf suka auka wa Betel, Ubangiji kuwa yana tare da su.
23 They sent some spies to [find out everything that they could find out about] Bethel, which was previously called Luz.
Sa’ad da suka aike mutane don su leƙi asirin Betel (da dā ake kira Luz),
24 The spies saw a man who was coming out of the city. They said to him, “If you show us a way to get into the city, we will be kind to you [and we will not kill you].”
’yan leƙen asirin suka ga wani ya fito daga birnin sai suka ce masa, “Ka nuna mana yadda za mu shiga birnin, mu kuwa za mu yi maka alheri.”
25 So the man showed them a way to enter the city. The men of the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh entered the city and killed all the people with their swords, but they did not kill the man [who showed them how to get into the city], and they did not kill his family.
Saboda haka ya nuna musu, suka kuwa hallaka birnin, suka bar mutumin da dukan iyalinsa da rai.
26 That man went to the area where the descendants of Heth lived, and built a city. He named the city Luz, and that is still the name of that city.
Sa’an nan ya tafi ƙasar Hittiyawa, inda ya gina birni ya kuma kira shi Luz, haka ake kira birnin har wa yau.
27 There were people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Beth-Shan, Taanach, Dor, Ibleam, and Megiddo [cities] and in the surrounding villages. [The men of] the tribe of Manasseh did not force those people to leave those towns, because the people of the Canaan people-group were determined to stay there.
Amma Manasse ba su kori mutane Bet-Sheyan ko Ta’anak ko Dor ko Ibileyam ko Megiddo tare da ƙauyukansu ba, gama Kan’aniyawa sun dāge su zauna a wannan ƙasa.
28 Later, the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), and they forced the people of the Canaan people-group to work for them [as their slaves], but they did not force all the people of the Canaan people-group to leave their land.
Sa’ad da Isra’ila ta yi ƙarfi, sai suka tilasta Kan’aniyawa yin aikin gandu amma ba su kore su gaba ɗaya ba.
29 [The men of] the tribe of Ephraim did not force the people of the Canaan people-group to leave Gezer [city]. So the people of the Canaan people-group continued to live with the people of the tribe of Ephraim.
Haka Efraim ma bai kori Kan’aniyawa da suke zaune a Gezer ba, amma Kan’aniyawa suka ci gaba da zama tare da su.
30 [The men of] the tribe of Zebulun did nor compel the people of the Canaan people-group who were living in Kitron and Nahalol [cities] to leave. They stayed there and lived among the people of the tribe of Zebulun, but the people of Zebulun forced them to work for them as their slaves.
Haka kuma Zebulun bai kori Kan’aniyawa da suke zaune a Kitron da Nahalol, waɗanda suka rage a cikinsu ba; sai dai sun sa su aikin gandu.
31 [The men of] the tribe of Asher did not force the people of the Canaan people-group who lived in Acco, Sidon, Ahlab, Aczib, Helbah, Aphek and Rehob [cities] to leave.
Haka Asher ma bai kori waɗanda suke zama a Akko ko Sidon ko Ahlab ko Akzib ko Helba ko Afik ko kuma Rehob ba,
32 So the people of the tribe of Asher lived among them.
kuma saboda wannan ne mutanen Asher suke zaune cikin mazaunan ƙasar Kan’aniyawa.
33 [The men of] the tribe of Naphtali did not compel the people who lived in Beth-Shemesh and Beth-Anath [cities] to leave, so the people in those two cities continued to live there, but the people of the Canaan people-group were forced to work as the slaves of the people of the tribe of Naphtali.
Haka kuma Naftali bai kori waɗanda suke zaune a Bet-Shemesh ko Bet-Anat; amma mutanen Naftali su ma suna zama a ciki Kan’aniyawa mazaunan ƙasar, waɗanda suke zaune a Bet-Shemesh da Bet-Anat kuwa suka zama masu yi musu aikin gandu.
34 The people of the Amor people-group forced the people of the tribe of Dan to live in the hills. They did not allow them to come down [and live] on the plain.
Amoriyawa suka matsa wa mutanen Dan a ƙasar tudu, ba su yarda musu su gangaro zuwa filaye ba.
35 The people of the Amor people-group were determined to stay in Heres Mountain and in Aijalon and Shaalbim [cities]. But when the Israelis became (stronger/more numerous), they forced the people of the Amor people-group to work as their slaves.
Su Amoriyawa kuma suka dāge su zauna a Dutsen-Heres, Aiyalon, da Sha’albim. Amma yayinda mutanen Yusuf suka ƙara ƙarfi, sai suka su yin musu aikin gandu.
36 The land where the Amor people-group lived extended from Scorpion Pass [toward the west] beyond Sela [town], up into the hilly area.
Iyakar Amoriyawa kuwa daga Mashigin Kunama zuwa Sela da kuma zuwa gaba.
