< Judges 6 >

1 And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of Midian seven years,
Isra’ilawa suka sāke yin mugayen ayyuka a gaban Ubangiji, sai ya ba da su ga Midiyawa shekara bakwai.
2 and the hand of Midian is strong against Israel, from the presence of Midian have the sons of Israel made for themselves the flowings which [are] in the mountains, and 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 And it hath been, if Israel hath sowed, that Midian hath come up, and Amalek, and the sons of the east, yea, they have come up against him,
Duk lokacin da Isra’ilawa suka yi shuka sai Midiyawa da Amalekawa da waɗansu mutane daga gabashi sukan kai musu hari.
4 and encamp against them, and destroy the increase of the land till thine entering Gaza; and they leave no sustenance in Israel, either sheep, or ox, or ass;
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 for they and their cattle come up, with their tents; they come in as the fulness of the locust for multitude, and of them and of their cattle there is no number, and they come into the land 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 And Israel is very weak from the presence of Midian, and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah.
Midiyawa suka talauce Isra’ilawa ƙwarai, har ya sa suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji don taimako.
7 And it cometh to pass when the sons of Israel have cried unto Jehovah, concerning Midian,
Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji saboda Midiyawa,
8 that Jehovah sendeth a man, a prophet, unto the sons of Israel, and he saith to them, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I — I have brought you up out of Egypt, and I bring you out from a house of servants,
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 and I deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all your oppressors, and I cast them out from your presence, and I give to 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 and I say to you, I [am] Jehovah your God, ye do not fear the gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling: — and ye have not hearkened to 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 And the messenger of Jehovah cometh and sitteth under the oak which [is] in Ophrah, which [is] to Joash the Abi-Ezrite, and Gideon his son is beating out wheat in the wine-press, to remove [it] from the presence of 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 and the messenger of Jehovah appeareth unto him, and saith unto him, 'Jehovah [is] with thee, O mighty one of valour.'
Sa’ad da mala’ikan Ubangiji ya bayyana wa Gideyon, sai ya ce masa, “Ubangiji yana tare da kai, jarumi.”
13 And Gideon saith unto him, 'O, my lord — and Jehovah is with us! — and why hath all this found us? and where [are] all His wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Hath not Jehovah brought us up out of Egypt? and now Jehovah hath left us, and doth give 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 And Jehovah turneth unto him and saith, 'Go in this — thy power; and thou hast saved Israel out of the hand of Midian — have not I sent thee.'
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 And he saith unto him, 'O, my lord, wherewith do I save Israel? lo, my chief [is] weak in Manasseh, and I the least in the house of my father.'
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 And Jehovah saith unto him, 'Because I am with thee — thou hast smitten the Midianites as one man.'
Ubangiji ya ce, “Zan kasance tare da kai, za ka kuwa fatattake dukan Midiyawa gaba ɗaya.”
17 And he saith unto Him, 'If, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine eyes, then Thou hast done for me a sign that Thou art speaking with 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 Move not, I pray Thee, from this, till my coming in unto Thee, and I have brought out my present, and put it before Thee;' and he saith, 'I — I do abide till thy 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 And Gideon hath gone in, and prepareth a kid of the goats, and of an ephah of flour unleavened things; the flesh he hath put in a basket, and the broth he hath put in a pot, and he bringeth out unto Him, unto the place of the oak, and bringeth [it] nigh.
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 And the messenger of God saith unto him, 'Take the flesh and the unleavened things, and place on this rock — and the broth pour out;' and he doth so.
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 And the messenger of Jehovah putteth forth the end of the staff which [is] in His hand, and cometh against the flesh, and against the unleavened things, and the fire goeth up out of the rock and consumeth the flesh and the unleavened things — and the messenger of Jehovah hath gone from his eyes.
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 And Gideon seeth that He [is] a messenger of Jehovah, and Gideon saith, 'Alas, Lord Jehovah! because that I have seen a messenger of Jehovah 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 And Jehovah saith to him, 'Peace to thee; fear not; thou dost not die.'
Amma Ubangiji ya ce masa, “Salama! Kada ka ji tsoro, ba za ka mutu ba.”
24 And Gideon buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and calleth it Jehovah-Shalom, unto this day it [is] yet in Ophrah of the Abi-Ezrites.
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 And it cometh to pass, on that night, that Jehovah saith to him, 'Take the young ox which [is] to thy father, and the second bullock of seven years, and thou hast thrown down the altar of Baal which [is] to thy father, and the shrine which [is] by it thou dost cut down,
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 and thou hast built an altar to Jehovah thy God on the top of this stronghold, by the arrangement, and hast taken the second bullock, and caused to ascend a burnt-offering with the wood of the shrine which thou cuttest 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 And Gideon taketh ten men of his servants, and doth as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and it cometh to pass, because he hath been afraid of the house of his father, and the men of the city, to do [it] by day, that he doth [it] by 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 And the men of the city rise early in the morning, and lo, broken down hath been the altar of Baal, and the shrine which is by it hath been cut down, and the second bullock hath been offered on the altar which is 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 And they say one to another, 'Who hath done this thing?' and they inquire and seek, and they say, 'Gideon son of Joash hath 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 And the men of the city say unto Joash, 'Bring out thy son, and he dieth, because he hath broken down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the shrine which [is] by 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 And Joash saith to all who have stood against him, 'Ye, do ye plead for Baal? ye — do ye save him? he who pleadeth for him is put to death during the morning; if he [is] a god he himself doth plead against him, because he hath broken down his altar.'
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 And he calleth him, on that day, Jerubbaal, saying, 'The Baal doth plead against him, because he hath broken down his 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 And all Midian and Amalek and the sons of the east have been gathered together, and pass over, and encamp 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 and the Spirit of Jehovah hath clothed Gideon, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and Abi-Ezer is called after him;
Sa’an nan Ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko wa Gideyon, ya kuma busa ƙaho, ya kira mutanen Abiyezer su bi shi.
35 and messengers he hath sent into all Manasseh, and it also is called after him; and messengers he hath sent into Asher, and into Zebulun, and into Naphtali, and they come up to meet them.
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 And Gideon saith unto God, 'If Thou art Saviour of Israel by my hand, as Thou hast spoken,
Gideyon ya cewa Allah, “In za ka ceci Isra’ila ta hannuna yadda ka yi alkawari,
37 lo, I am placing the fleece of wool in the threshing-floor: if dew is on the fleece alone, and on all the earth drought — then I have known that Thou dost save Israel by my hand, as Thou hast spoken;'
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 and it is so, and he riseth early on the morrow, and presseth the fleece, and wringeth dew out of the fleece — the fulness of the bowl, of water.
Abin da faru ke nan. Gideyon ya tashi da sassafe kashegari, ya matse ulun ya kakkaɓe raɓar, ruwan ya cika ƙwarya.
39 And Gideon saith unto God, 'Let not Thine anger burn against me, and I speak only this time; let me try, I pray Thee, only this time with the fleece — let there be, I pray Thee, drought on the fleece alone, and on all the earth let there be dew.'
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 And God doth so on that night, and there is drought on the fleece alone, and on all the earth there hath been dew.
A wannan dare Allah ya yi haka. Ulun ne kaɗai yake a bushe, amma dukan ƙasar ta jiƙe da raɓa.
