Judges 6
1 The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and he gave them into the hand of Midian for seven years.
Isra’ilawa suka sāke yin mugayen ayyuka a gaban Ubangiji, sai ya ba da su ga Midiyawa shekara bakwai.
2 The power of Midian oppressed Israel. Because of Midian, the people of Israel made shelters for themselves from the dens in the hills, the caves, and the strongholds.
Da Midiyawa suka matsa musu sosai, sai Isra’ilawa suka yi wa kansu mafakai a rammukan duwatsu, kogona da kuma mafaka.
3 It happened that any time the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people from the east would attack the Israelites.
Duk lokacin da Isra’ilawa suka yi shuka sai Midiyawa da Amalekawa da waɗansu mutane daga gabashi sukan kai musu hari.
4 They would set up their army on the land and destroy the crops, all the way to Gaza. They would leave no food in Israel, and no sheep, nor cattle or donkeys.
Sukan yi sansani a ƙasar sun lalatar da hatsi har zuwa Gaza kuma ba sa barin wani abu mai rai wa Isra’ila, ko tumaki ko shanu ko jakuna.
5 Whenever they and their livestock and tents came up, they would come as a swarm of locusts, and it was impossible to count either the people or their camels. They invaded the land in order to destroy it.
Sukan zo da dabbobinsu da tentinsu kamar tarin fāri. Yana da wuya a ƙidaya yawan mutanen da kuma raƙumansu; sukan mamaye ƙasar don su lalatar da ita.
6 Midian weakened the Israelites so severely that the people of Israel called out to Yahweh.
Midiyawa suka talauce Isra’ilawa ƙwarai, har ya sa suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji don taimako.
7 When the people of Israel called out to Yahweh because of Midian,
Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji saboda Midiyawa,
8 Yahweh sent a prophet to the people of Israel. The prophet said to them, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says: 'I brought you up from Egypt; I brought you out of the house of slavery.
sai ya aika musu da annabi, wanda ya ce, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce na fitar da ku daga Masar, daga ƙasar bauta.
9 I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand of all who were oppressing you. I drove them out before you, and I gave you their land.
Na ƙwace ku daga ikon Masarawa da kuma daga dukan hannuwan masu danniya. Na kore su a gabanku na kuma ba ku ƙasarsu.
10 I said to you, “I am Yahweh your God; I commanded you not to worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.” But you have not obeyed my voice.'”
Na ce muku, ‘Ni ne Ubangiji Allahnku; kada ku bauta allolin Amoriyawa, waɗanda kuke zama a ƙasarsu.’ Amma ba ku saurare ni ba.”
11 Now the angel of Yahweh came and sat under the oak in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash (the Abiezrite), while Gideon, Joash's son, was separating out the wheat by beating it on the floor, in the winepress—to hide it from the Midianites.
Sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya zo ya zauna a ƙarƙashin itacen oak a Ofra na Yowash mutumin Abiyezer, inda ɗansa Gideyon yake sussukar alkama a wurin matsin inabi don yă ɓoye daga Midiyawa.
12 The angel of Yahweh appeared to him and said to him, “Yahweh is with you, you strong warrior!”
Sa’ad da mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana wa Gideyon, sai ya ce masa, “Ubangiji yana tare da kai, jarumi.”
13 Gideon said to him, “Oh, my master, if Yahweh is with us, why then has all this happened to us? Where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers told us about, when they said, 'Did not Yahweh bring us up from Egypt?' But now Yahweh has abandoned us and gave us into the hand of Midian.”
Gideyon ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, in Ubangiji yana tare da mu, me ya sa waɗannan abubuwa suka faru da mu? Ina dukan abubuwan al’ajabinsa waɗanda kakanninmu suka gaya mana game su sa’ad da suka ce, ‘Ashe, ba Ubangiji ne ya fitar da mu daga Masar ba?’ Amma yanzu Ubangiji ya rabu da mu ya kuma sa mu hannun Midiyawa.”
14 Yahweh looked at him and said, “Go in the strength you already have. Deliver Israel from the hand of Midian. Have I not sent you?”
Sai Ubangiji ya juya wajensa ya ce, “Ka je da ƙarfin da kake da shi ka ceci Isra’ila daga hannun Midiyawa. Ba Ni ne nake aikan ka ba?”
15 Gideon said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I deliver Israel? See, my family is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least important in my father's house.”
Gideyon ya ce, “Amma Ubangiji, yaya zan iya ceci Isra’ila? Kabilata ce marar ƙarfi duka a Manasse, kuma ni ne ƙarami a iyalina.”
16 Yahweh said to him, “I will be with you, and you will defeat the entire Midianite army as one man.”
Ubangiji ya ce, “Zan kasance tare da kai, za ka kuwa fatattake dukan Midiyawa gaba ɗaya.”
17 Gideon said to him, “If you are pleased with me, then give me a sign that it is you who is speaking to me.
Gideyon ya ce, “In lalle na sami tagomashi a gabanka, to, ka ba ni wata alamar da ta nuna lalle kai kake magana da ni.
18 Please, do not leave here, until I come to you and bring out my gift and set it before you.” Yahweh said, “I will wait until you return.”
Ina roƙonka ka dakata har in komo in kawo maka hadayata in ajiye a gabanka.” Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Zan jira har ka dawo.”
19 Gideon went and prepared a young goat and from an ephah of flour he made unleavened bread. He put the meat in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot and brought them to him under the oak tree, and presented them.
Sai Gideyon ya shiga ciki, ya gyara’yar akuya ya dafa, da garin efa ya yi burodi marar yisti. Da ya sa naman a kwando, romon kuma a tukunya, sai ya fito da su waje ya miƙa masa su a ƙarƙashin itacen oak.
20 The angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened bread and put them on this rock, and pour out the broth over them.” That is what Gideon did.
Mala’ikan Allah ya ce masa, “Ka ɗauko naman da burodi marar yisti ka sa su a kan wannan dutse, ka zuba romon a kai.” Gideyon kuwa ya yi haka.
21 Then the angel of Yahweh reached out with the end of the staff in his hand. With it he touched the flesh and the unleavened bread; a fire went up out of the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the angel of Yahweh went away and Gideon could no longer see him.
Da kan sandan da yake a hannunsa, mala’ikan Ubangiji ya taɓa naman da burodi marar yistin. Sai wuta ta fito daga dutsen ta cinye naman da burodin. Mala’ikan kuwa ya ɓace.
22 Gideon understood that this was the angel of Yahweh. Gideon said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! For I have seen the angel of Yahweh face to face!”
Sa’ad da Gideyon ya gane mala’ikan Ubangiji ne, sai ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka! Na ga mala’ikan Ubangiji ido da ido.”
23 Yahweh said to him, “Peace to you! Do not be afraid, you will not die.”
Amma Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Salama! Kada ka ji tsoro, ba za ka mutu ba.”
24 So Gideon built an altar there to Yahweh. He called it, “Yahweh is Peace.” To this day it still stands at Ophrah of the clan of Abiezer.
Saboda haka Gideyon ya gina wa Ubangiji bagade a can, ya kuma kira shi, Ubangiji Salama ne. Har wa yau bagaden yana a Ofra ta mutanen Abiyezer.
25 That night Yahweh said to him, “Take your father's bull, and a second bull that is seven years old, and pull apart the altar of Baal that belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it.
A wannan dare Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Ka ɗauki bijimi na biyu daga garken mahaifinka, wannan mai shekara bakwai. Ka rushe bagaden mahaifinka na Ba’al ka sare ginshiƙin Ashera kusa da ita.
26 Build an altar to Yahweh your God on the top of this place of refuge, and construct it the correct way. Offer the second bull as a burnt offering, using the wood from the Asherah that you cut down.”
Sa’an nan ka gina bagade irin da ya dace wa Ubangiji Allahnka a kan wannan tudu. Ka yi amfani da itacen katakon ginshiƙin Ashera da ka sare, ka miƙa bijiman nan biyu hadaya ta ƙonawa.”
27 So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as Yahweh had told him. But because he was too afraid of his father's household and the men of the town to do it during the day, he did it at night.
Saboda haka Gideyon ya ɗebi bayinsa bakwai ya yi yadda Ubangiji ya ce masa. Amma saboda yana tsoron iyalinsa da mutanen gari, ya yi haka da dare a maimako da rana.
28 In the morning when the men of the town got up, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah that was beside it was cut down, and the second bull had been offered on the altar that had been built.
Da safe sa’ad da mutanen garin suka tashi, sai suka tarar an rushe bagaden Ba’al, tare da ginshiƙin Ashera da yake kusa da shi, duk an sare, bijimi na biyu kuma aka miƙa hadaya a kan sabon bagaden!
29 The men of the city said to one another, “Who has done this?” When they talked with others and searched for answers, they said, “Gideon son of Joash has done this thing.”
Sai suka tambayi junansu, “Wa ya yi wannan?” Sa’ad da suka bincika a hankali, sai aka faɗa musu, “Gideyon ɗan Yowash ne ya yi haka.”
30 Then the men of the town said to Joash, “Bring out your son so that he may be put to death, because he pulled apart the altar of Baal, and because he cut down the Asherah beside it.”
Mutanen garin suka ce wa Yowash, “Ka kawo mana ɗanka. Dole yă mutu, domin ya rushe bagaden Ba’al, ya sare ginshiƙin Asheran da yake tsaye kusa da shi.”
31 Joash said to all who opposed him, “Will you plead the case for Baal? Will you save him? Whoever pleads the case for him, let him be put to death while it is still morning. If Baal is a god, let him defend himself when someone pulls his altar apart.”
Amma Yowash ya ce wa taron da suka tayar masa, “Za ku yi hamayya domin Ba’al ne? Kuna ƙoƙari ku cece shi ne? Duk wanda ya yi faɗa saboda shi za a kashe shi kafin safe. In lalle Ba’al allah ne, zai kāre kansa sa’ad da wani ya rushe bagadensa.”
32 Therefore on that day they called Gideon “Jerub Baal,” because he said, “Let Baal defend himself against him,” because Gideon broke down Baal's altar.
Saboda haka a ranar suka kira Gideyon, “Yerub-Ba’al,” suna cewa, “Bari Ba’al ya yi hamayya da shi,” domin ya rushe bagaden Ba’al.
33 Now all the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the people of the east gathered together. They crossed over the Jordan and camped in the Valley of Jezreel.
To, dukan Midiyawa, Amalekawa da sauran mutanen gabashi suka haɗa ƙarfi suka ƙetare Urdun suka kafa sansani a Kwarin Yezireyel.
34 But the Spirit of Yahweh came over Gideon. Gideon blew a trumpet, calling out the clan of Abiezer, so they might follow him.
Sa’an nan Ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko wa Gideyon, ya kuma busa ƙaho, ya kira mutanen Abiyezer su bi shi.
35 He sent messengers all throughout Manasseh, and they too, were called out to follow him. He also sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, and they went up to meet him.
Ya aika manzanni ko’ina a Manasse, yana kiransu su kintsa, haka ma Asher, Zebulun da Naftali, ta haka su ma suka haura su sadu da su.
36 Gideon said to God, “If you intend to use me to save Israel, as you have said—
Gideyon ya cewa Allah, “In za ka ceci Isra’ila ta hannuna yadda ka yi alkawari,
37 Look, I am putting a woolen fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece, and it is dry on all the ground, then I will know that you will use me to save Israel, as you said.”
to, zan shimfiɗa ulu a masussuka, inda safe akwai raɓa a kan ulun kaɗai, ƙasa kuwa a bushe, to, zan san cewa za ka ceci Isra’ila ta hannuna, yadda ka ce.”
38 This is what happened—Gideon rose early the next morning, he pressed the fleece together, and wrung out the dew from the fleece, enough to fill a bowl with water.
Abin da faru ke nan. Gideyon ya tashi da sassafe kashegari, ya matse ulun ya kakkaɓe raɓar, ruwan ya cika ƙwarya.
39 Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me, I will speak one more time. Please allow me one more test using the fleece. This time make the fleece dry, and let there be dew on all the ground around it.”
Sa’an nan Gideyon ya ce wa Allah, “Kada ka yi fushi da ni. Bari in ƙara yin wani gwaji kuma da ulun. A wannan lokaci ka sa ulun yă bushe, ƙasar kuma ta rufu da raɓa.”
40 God did what he asked for that night. The fleece was dry, and there was dew on all the ground around it.
A wannan dare Allah ya yi haka. Ulun ne kaɗai yake a bushe, amma dukan ƙasar ta jiƙe da raɓa.
