Joshua 2
1 Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out of Shittim as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, including Jericho.” They went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.
Sai Yoshuwa ɗan Nun ya aika’yan leƙen asiri guda biyu a ɓoye daga Shittim ya ce, “Ku je ku duba, ku ga yadda wurin yake, musamman Yeriko.” Sai suka je suka shiga gidan wata karuwa mai suna Rahab, suka sauka a can.
2 The king of Jericho was told, “Behold, men of the children of Israel came in here tonight to spy out the land.”
Aka gaya wa sarkin Yeriko cewa, “Ji fa, waɗansu Isra’ilawa sun shigo nan da dare don su leƙi asirin ƙasar.”
3 Jericho’s king sent to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered into your house; for they have come to spy out all the land.”
Saboda haka sai sarki ya aika wannan saƙo zuwa ga Rahab, “Ki fito da mutanen da suka zo suka sauka a gidanki, gama sun zo su leƙi asirin ƙasar ne gaba ɗaya.”
4 The woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I didn’t know where they came from.
Amma matar ta ɓoye mutanen nan biyu. Ta ce, “I, mutanen sun zo wurina, amma ban san daga ina suka zo ba,
5 About the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, the men went out. Where the men went, I don’t know. Pursue them quickly. You may catch up with them.”
da yamma kuwa, kafin a rufe ƙofar gari sai mutanen suka tafi. Ban san hanyar da suka bi ba, ku yi sauri ku bi su. Mai yiwuwa ku same su.”
6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hidden them under the stalks of flax which she had laid in order on the roof.
(Amma ta kai su saman rufin ɗaki ta ɓoye su a ƙarƙashin karan rama da ta baza a rufin ɗaki.)
7 The men pursued them along the way to the fords of the Jordan River. As soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
Sai mutanen garin suka kama hanyar Urdun don su nemi’yan leƙen asirin, daga fitar su sai aka rufe ƙofar garin.
8 Before they had lain down, she came up to them on the roof.
Kafin’yan leƙen asirin su kwanta, sai ta tafi wurinsu a bisa rufin ɗakin
9 She said to the men, “I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
ta ce musu, “Na sani Ubangiji ya riga ya ba ku ƙasan nan, tsoronku kuma ya kama mu har zukatan mazaunan ƙasar duka sun narke saboda ku.
10 For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed.
Mun ji yadda Ubangiji ya busar da ruwan Jan Teku domin ku lokacin da kuka fito daga ƙasar Masar, da kuma abin da kuka yi wa Sihon da Og, sarakunan nan biyu na Amoriyawa gabas da Urdun, waɗanda kuka hallaka su sarai.
11 As soon as we had heard it, our hearts melted, and there wasn’t any more spirit in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
Da muka ji labarin, duk sai zuciyar kowa ta narke, kowa ya karaya saboda ku, gama Ubangiji Allahnku shi ne Allah na sama da ƙasa.
12 Now therefore, please swear to me by the LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a true sign;
Yanzu ina roƙonku ku rantse mini da Ubangiji cewa za ku yi wa iyalina alheri kamar yadda na yi muku alheri. Ku ba ni ƙwaƙƙwarar shaida cewa
13 and that you will save alive my father, my mother, my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death.”
za ku ceci rayukan mahaifina da mahaifiyata, da’yan’uwana maza da mata, da duk waɗanda suke nasu, za ku cece mu daga mutuwa.”
14 The men said to her, “Our life for yours, if you don’t talk about this business of ours; and it shall be, when the LORD gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.”
Mutanen suka tabbatar mata suka ce, “Ranmu a bakin ranki! In ba ki faɗa wa kowa abin da ya kawo mu ba, za mu yi miki alheri da aminci lokacin da Ubangiji ya ba mu ƙasar.”
15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window; for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on the wall.
Sai ta zura igiya ta taga suka bi, domin gidan da take yana haɗe da katangar birnin.
16 She said to them, “Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers find you. Hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward, you may go your way.”
Ta ce musu, “Ku tafi cikin tuddan ƙasar don kada mutanen sarki su same ku. Ku ɓuya a can na kwana uku, har sai masu nemanku su komo, sa’an nan ku kama hanyarku.”
17 The men said to her, “We will be guiltless of this your oath which you’ve made us to swear.
Mutanen suka ce mata, “Rantsuwar da kika sa muka yi, ba za tă yi amfani ba
18 Behold, when we come into the land, tie this line of scarlet thread in the window which you used to let us down. Gather to yourself into the house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household.
sai in kin ɗaura jan ƙyalle a tagar da kika zura mu, kuma sai in kin kawo mahaifinki da mahaifiyarki, da’yan’uwanki, da dukan iyalinki cikin gidanki.
19 It shall be that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, and we will be guiltless. Whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is on him.
In wani ya fita kan hanya, alhakin jininsa yă kasance a kansa; ba ruwanmu. Amma in aka taɓa wani da yake cikin gidanki tare da ke, alhakin jininsa yana kanmu.
20 But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you’ve made us to swear.”
In kika tone mana asiri, za mu karya alkawarin da kika sa muka yi.”
21 She said, “Let it be as you have said.” She sent them away, and they departed. Then she tied the scarlet line in the window.
Ta ce, “Na yarda! Bari yă zama yadda kuka ce.” Sai ta sallame su suka tafi. Ta kuwa ɗaura jan ƙyalle a tagar.
22 They went and came to the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had returned. The pursuers sought them all along the way, but didn’t find them.
Sai suka tafi, suka shiga cikin tuddai, suka yi zamansu a can kwana uku har masu nemansu suka koma, gama masu nemansu suka yi ta nema ko’ina a hanyar, amma ba su sami kowa ba.
23 Then the two men returned, descended from the mountain, crossed the river, and came to Joshua the son of Nun. They told him all that had happened to them.
Sa’an nan mutanen nan biyu,’yan leƙen asiri suka sauka daga tuddai suka haye kogi zuwa wurin Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, suka gaya masa duk abin da ya faru da su.
24 They said to Joshua, “Truly the LORD has delivered all the land into our hands. Moreover, all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us.”
Suka ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ba shakka Ubangiji ya ba mu ƙasan nan duka, tana hannunmu, mutane can duk sun narke da tsoro saboda mu.”
