< Judges 9 >
1 and Abimelech son of Jerubbaal goeth to Shechem, unto his mother's brethren, and speaketh unto them, and unto all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
Abimelek ɗan Yerub-Ba’al ya tafi Shekem wurin’yan’uwan mahaifiyarsa, ya ce musu da kuma dukan dangin mahaifiyarsa,
2 'Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the masters of Shechem, Which [is] good for you — the ruling over you of seventy men (all the sons of Jerubbaal), or the ruling over you of one man? — and ye have remembered that I [am] your bone and your flesh.'
“Ku tambayi’yan ƙasar Shekem, ‘Wanne ya fi muku, a sa dukan’ya’yan Yerub-Ba’al saba’in maza su yi mulkinku, ko dai mutum guda kawai yă yi mulkinku?’ Ku tuna, ni jininku ne.”
3 And his mother's brethren speak concerning him, in the ears of all the masters of Shechem, all these words, and their heart inclineth after Abimelech, for they said, 'He [is] our brother;'
Sa’ad da’yan’uwan suka mayar wa’yan ƙasar Shekem wannan, sai suka goyi bayan Abimelek, gama sun ce, “Shi ɗan’uwanmu ne.”
4 and they give to him seventy silverings out of the house of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech hireth with them men, vain and unstable, and they go after him;
Suka ba shi shekel saba’in na azurfa daga haikalin Ba’al-Berit, Abimelek kuwa ya yi amfani da shi ya yi hayar’yan tauri waɗanda suka zama masu binsa.
5 and he goeth into the house of his father at Ophrah, and slayeth his brethren, sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one stone; and Jotham, youngest son of Jerubbaal, is left, for he was hidden.
Sai ya tafi gidan mahaifinsa a Ofra kuma a dutse guda ya kashe’yan’uwansa,’ya’yan Yerub-Ba’al. Amma Yotam, autan ɗan Yerub-Ba’al ya tsira ta wurin ɓuya.
6 And all the masters of Shechem are gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and come and cause Abimelech to reign for king at the oak of the camp which [is] in Shechem;
Sa’an nan duka’yan ƙasar Shekem da Bet Millo suka taru kusa da babban itacen wajen ginshiƙi a Shekem don a naɗa Abimelek sarki.
7 and they declare [it] to Jotham, and he goeth and standeth on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifteth up his voice, and calleth, and saith to them, 'Hearken unto me, O masters of Shechem, and God doth hearken unto you:
Sa’ad da aka gaya wa Yotam wannan, sai ya hau Dutsen Gerizim ya yi kira da ƙarfi ya ce, “Ku saurare ni,’yan ƙasar Shekem, don Allah yă saurare ku.
8 'The trees have diligently gone to anoint over them a king, and they say to the olive, Reign thou over us.
Wata rana itatuwa suka fita don su naɗa wa kansu sarki. Suka ce wa itacen zaitun, ‘Ka zama sarkinmu.’
9 And the olive saith to them, Have I ceased from my fatness, by which they honour gods and men, that I have gone to stagger over the trees?
“Amma itacen zaitun ya ce, ‘In bar mai nawa, wanda da shi ake girmama alloli da mutane, don in zo in yi ta fama da itatuwa?’
10 And the trees say to the fig, Come thou, reign over us.
“Biye da wannan, sai itatuwan suka ce wa itacen ɓaure, ‘Zo ka zama sarkinmu.’
11 And the fig saith to them, Have I ceased from my sweetness, and my good increase, that I have gone to stagger over the trees?
“Amma itacen ɓauren ya ce, ‘In bar kyawawan’ya’yana da zaƙinsu, in zo in yi ta fama da itatuwa?’
12 'And the trees say to the vine, Come thou, reign over us.
“Sa’an nan itatuwan suka ce wa kuringar inabi, ‘Ki zo ki zama sarkinmu.’
13 And the vine saith to them, Have I ceased from my new wine, which is rejoicing gods and men, that I have gone to stagger over the trees?
“Amma kuringar ta ce, ‘In bar ruwan inabina, wanda yake faranta zuciyar alloli da mutane, in zo in yi fama da itatuwa?’
14 And all the trees say unto the bramble, Come thou, reign over us.
“A ƙarshe sai dukan itatuwa suka ce wa itacen ƙaya, ‘Ka zo ka zama sarkinmu.’
15 And the bramble saith unto the trees, If in truth ye are anointing me for king over you, come, take refuge in my shadow; and if not — fire cometh out from the bramble, and devoureth the cedars of Lebanon.
“Itacen ƙaya ya ce wa itatuwan, ‘In da gaske ne kuke so ku naɗa ni sarkinku, ku zo ku sha inuwana; in ba haka ba, bari wuta ta fito daga itacen ƙaya ta cinye itacen al’ul na Lebanon!’
16 'And, now, if in truth and in sincerity ye have acted, when ye make Abimelech king; and if ye have done good with Jerubbaal, and with his house; and if according to the deed of his hands ye have done to him —
“To, da a ce kun yi abin bangirma da aniya mai kyau sa’ad da kuka naɗa Abimelek sarki, da kun nuna wa Yerub-Ba’al da iyalinsa ladabi, da kuma kun yi masa abin da ya cancanci shi,
17 because my father hath fought for you, and doth cast away his life from [him], and deliver you from the hand of Midian;
a yi tunani cewa mahaifina ya yi yaƙi saboda ku, ya yi kasai da ransa don yă cece ku daga hannun Midiyawa
18 and ye have risen against the house of my father to-day, and slay his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and cause Abimelech son of his handmaid to reign over the masters of Shechem, because he [is] your brother —
(amma ga shi yau kun tayar wa iyalin mahaifina, kuka kashe’ya’yansa saba’in a dutse guda, kuka kuma naɗa Abimelek, ɗan baiwa, sarki a kan’yan ƙasar Shekem domin shi ɗan’uwanku ne)
19 yea, if in truth and in sincerity ye have acted with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, rejoice ye in Abimelech, and he doth rejoice — even he — in you;
in har kun aikata wannan cikin bangirma da kuma aminci wajen Yerub-Ba’al da iyalinsa a yau, bari Abimelek yă zama farin cikinku, ku kuma nasa!
20 and if not — fire cometh out from Abimelech and devoureth the masters of Shechem and the house of Millo, and fire cometh out from the masters of Shechem and from the house of Millo, and devoureth Abimelech.'
Amma in ba haka ba, bari wuta ta fito daga Abimelek ya cinye ku,’yan ƙasar Shekem da Bet Millo, bari wuta kuma daga wurinku’yan ƙasar Shekem da Bet Millo ta cinye Abimelek!”
21 And Jotham hasteth, and fleeth, and goeth to Beer, and dwelleth there, from the face of Abimelech his brother.
Sa’an nan Yotam ya gudu, ya tsere zuwa Beyer ya zauna a can gama yana tsoron ɗan’uwansa Abimelek.
22 And Abimelech is prince over Israel three years,
Bayan Abimelek ya yi shekara uku yana mulki a Isra’ila,
23 and God sendeth an evil spirit between Abimelech and the masters of Shechem, and the masters of Shechem deal treacherously with Abimelech,
sai Allah ya aiko da mugun ruhu tsakanin Abimelek da’yan ƙasar Shekem, waɗanda suka ci amanar Abimelek.
24 for the coming in of the violence [to] the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and of their blood to place [it] on Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and on the masters of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to slay his brethren.
Allah ya yi haka saboda kisan’ya’ya saba’in na Yerub-Ba’al, don a ɗauki fansar jininsu a kan Abimelek ɗan’uwansu da kuma’yan ƙasar Shekem, waɗanda suka taimake shi kisan’yan’uwansa.
25 And the masters of Shechem set for him ambushes on the top of the hills, and rob every one who passeth over by them in the way, and it is declared to Abimelech.
Cikin hamayya da shi waɗannan’yan ƙasar Shekem suka sa mutane a kan tuddai don su yi kwanton ɓauna a kan su yi fashi ga duk wanda ya wuce a can, wannan fa ya kai kunnen Abimelek.
26 And Gaal son of Ebed cometh — also his brethren — and they pass over into Shechem, and the masters of Shechem trust in him,
To, Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya tafi tare da’yan’uwansa zuwa Shekem,’yan ƙasarta kuwa suka dogara da shi.
27 and go out into the field, and gather their vineyards, and tread, and make praises, and go into the house of their god, and eat and drink, and revile Abimelech.
Bayan sun tafi gonaki suka tattara inabi suka matse su, sai suka yi biki a haikalin allahnsu. Yayinda suke ci da sha, sai suka la’anci Abimelek.
28 And Gaal son of Ebed saith, 'Who [is] Abimelech, and who [is] Shechem, that we serve him? is [he] not son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his commander? Serve ye the men of Hamor father of Shechem, and wherefore do we serve him — we?
Sa’an nan Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya ce, “Wane ne Abimelek, kuma wane ne Shekem, da za mu bauta masa? Shi ba ɗan Yerub-Ba’al ba ne, kuma ba Zebul ne mataimakinsa ba? Ku bauta wa mutanen Hamor, mahaifin Shekem! Me ya sa za mu bauta wa Abimelek?
29 and oh that this people were in my hand — then I turn Abimelech aside;' and he saith to Abimelech, 'Increase thy host, and come out.'
Da a ce waɗannan mutane suna a ƙarƙashina mana! Da zan hamɓarar da shi. In ce wa Abimelek, ‘Ka tara dukan mayaƙanka!’”
30 And Zebul, prince of the city, heareth the words of Gaal son of Ebed, and his anger burneth,
Sa’ad da Zebul gwamnar birnin ya ji abin da Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya ce, sai ya fusata.
31 and he sendeth messengers unto Abimelech deceitfully, saying, 'Lo, Gaal son of Ebed and his brethren are coming into Shechem, and lo, they are fortifying the city against thee;
Asirce sai ya aiki manzanni wajen Abimelek, yana cewa, “Ga’al ɗan Ebed da’yan’uwansa sun zo Shekem suna kuma zuga birnin sun tayar maka.
32 and, now, rise by night, thou and the people who [are] with thee, and lay wait in the field,
To, in dare ya yi, sai ka zo da mutanenka ku yi kwanto a filaye.
33 and it hath been, in the morning, about the rising of the sun, thou dost rise early, and hast pushed against the city; and lo, he and the people who [are] with him are going out unto thee — and thou hast done to him as thy hand doth find.'
Kashegari da safe, sai ku tashi ku fāɗa wa birnin. Sa’ad da Ga’al da mutanensa suka faɗa maka, sai ka yi abin da ka iya yi da su.”
34 And Abimelech riseth, and all the people who [are] with him, by night, and they lay wait against Shechem — four detachments;
Saboda haka Abimelek da dukan mutanensa suka tashi da dare suka ɓuya kusa da Shekem a ƙungiyoyi huɗu.
35 and Gaal son of Ebed goeth out, and standeth at the opening of the gate of the city, and Abimelech riseth — also the people who [are] with him — from the ambush,
To, Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya riga ya fita waje yana tsaye a ƙofar birni daidai Abimelek da mayaƙansa suka fito daga inda suka ɓuya.
36 and Gaal seeth the people, and saith unto Zebul, 'Lo, people are coming down from the top of the hills;' and Zebul saith unto him, 'The shadow of the hills thou art seeing like men.'
Sa’ad da Ga’al ya gan su, sai ya ce wa Zebul, “Duba, ga mutane suna gangarowa daga kan duwatsu!” Zebul ya ce, “Kana ɗaukan inuwan duwatsu kana ce mutane.”
37 And Gaal addeth yet to speak, and saith, 'Lo, people are coming down from the high part of the land, and another detachment is coming by the way of the oak of Meonenim.'
Amma Ga’al ya sāke magana ya ce, “Duba, mutane suna gangarowa daga tsakiyar filaye, kuma wata ƙungiya tana zuwa daga wajen itacen masu duba.”
38 And Zebul saith unto him, 'Where [is] now thy mouth, in that thou sayest, Who [is] Abimelech that we serve him? is not this the people against which thou hast kicked? go out, I pray thee now, and fight against it.'
Sa’an nan Zebul ya ce masa, “Ina bakin da ka yi ɗin, kai da ka ce, ‘Wane ne Abimelek da za mu bauta masa.’ Ba mutanen ne ka yi musu ba’a ba? Fita, ka yaƙe su mana!”
39 And Gaal goeth out before the masters of Shechem, and fighteth against Abimelech,
Saboda haka Ga’al ya fito da’yan ƙasar Shekem suka yaƙi Abimelek.
40 and Abimelech pursueth him, and he fleeth from his presence, and many fall wounded — unto the opening of the gate.
Abimelek ya kore shi, mutane da yawa suka ji ciwo a yaƙin, har zuwa ƙofar birnin.
41 And Abimelech abideth in Arumah, and Zebul casteth out Gaal and his brethren from dwelling in Shechem.
Abimelek ya zauna a Aruma, Zebul kuwa ya kori Ga’al da’yan’uwansa daga Shekem.
42 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the people go out to the field, and they declare [it] to Abimelech,
Kashegari mutanen Shekem suka tafi gonaki, aka kuwa gaya wa Abimelek.
43 and he taketh the people, and divideth them into three detachments, and layeth wait in a field, and looketh, and lo, the people are coming out from the city, and he riseth against them, and smiteth them.
Saboda haka ya ɗauki mutanensa, ya raba su ƙungiya uku, sa’an nan ya yi kwanto a gonakin. Sa’ad da ya ga mutanen suna fitowa daga birni, sai ya yi wuf ya fāɗa musu.
44 And Abimelech and the detachments who [are] with him have pushed on, and stand at the opening of the gate of the city, and the two detachments have pushed against all who are in the field, and smite them,
Abimelek da ƙungiyoyin da suke tare da shi suka yi maza suka yi tsaya a ƙofar birnin. Sa’an nan ƙungiyoyi biyu suka ruga suka fāɗa wa waɗanda suke a gonaki suka karkashe su.
45 and Abimelech hath fought against the city all that day, and captureth the city, and the people who [are] in it he hath slain, and he breaketh down the city, and soweth it [with] salt.
Dukan yinin, Abimelek ya matsa yaƙi da birnin sai da ya cinye ta ya kuma kashe mutanenta. Sa’an nan ya hallaka birnin ya barbaza gishiri a kanta.
46 And all the masters of the tower of Shechem hear, and go in unto the high place of the house of the god Berith,
Da jin haka, sai’yan ƙasa a hasumiyar Shekem suka shiga wurin mafaka a hankalin El-Berit.
47 and it is declared to Abimelech that all the masters of the tower of Shechem have gathered themselves together,
Da Abimelek ya ji dukan mutanen hasumiyar Shekem sun taru a can,
48 and Abimelech goeth up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people who [are] with him, and Abimelech taketh the great axe in his hand, and cutteth off a bough of the trees, and lifteth it up, and setteth [it] on his shoulder, and saith unto the people who [are] with him, 'What ye have seen I have done — haste, do ye like it.'
sai Abimelek da dukan mutanensa suka haura zuwa Dutsen Zalmon. Sai ya ɗauki gatari ya sassare waɗansu rassa, waɗanda ya sa a kafaɗunsa. Ya umarci mutanen da suke tare da shi ya ce, “Sauri, ku yi abin da kuka ga na yi!”
49 And all the people also cut down each one his bough, and go after Abimelech, and set [them] at the high place, and burn by these the high place with fire, and also all the men of the tower of Shechem die, about a thousand men and women.
Saboda haka mutanen suka sassare rassan itatuwa suka bi Abimelek. Suka tattara su a jikin mafakar suka kuma cinna mata wuta a kan mutanen da suke a ciki. Ta haka dukan mutanen da suke cikin hasumiyar Shekem, wajen maza da mata dubu ɗaya suka mutu.
50 And Abimelech goeth unto Thebez, and encampeth against Thebez, and captureth it,
Biye da wannan Abimelek ya tafi Tebez, ya kewaye ta ya kuma cinye ta da yaƙi.
51 and a strong tower hath been in the midst of the city, and thither flee do all the men and the women, and all the masters of the city, and they shut [it] behind them, and go up on the roof of the tower.
A cikin birnin, akwai wata hasumiya mai ƙarfi, inda dukan maza da mata, dukan mutanen birnin, suka ɓuya. Suka kulle kansu, suka kuma hau rufin hasumiyar.
52 And Abimelech cometh unto the tower, and fighteth against it, and draweth nigh unto the opening of the tower to burn it with fire,
Abimelek ya je wajen hasumiya ya kuma auka mata. Amma da ya yi kusa da ƙofar hasumiyar don yă cinna mata wuta,
53 and a certain woman doth cast a piece of a rider on the head of Abimelech, and breaketh his skull,
sai wata mata ta saki ɗan dutsen niƙa a kan Abimelek ta fasa ƙoƙon kansa.
54 and he calleth hastily unto the young man bearing his weapons, and saith to him, 'Draw thy sword, and thou hast put me to death, lest they say of me — A woman slew him;' and his young man pierced him through, and he dieth.
Da sauri ya kira mai riƙon masa makami ya ce, “Zaro takobinka ka kashe ni, don kada a ce ‘Mace ce ta kashe shi.’” Saboda haka bawansa ya soke shi, ya mutu.
55 And the men of Israel see that Abimelech [is] dead, and go each one to his place;
Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka ga Abimelek ya mutu, sai suka tafi gida.
56 and God turneth back the evil of Abimelech which he did to his father to slay his seventy brethren;
Ta haka Allah ya sāka muguntar da Abimelek da ya yi wa mahaifinsa ta wurin kisan’yan’uwansa saba’in.
57 and all the evil of the men of Shechem hath God turned back on their head, and come unto them doth the cursing of Jotham son of Jerubbaal.
Allah kuma ya sa muguntar mutanen Shekem suka koma kansu. La’anar Yotam ɗan Yerub-Ba’al kuma ta kama su.
