Maimaitawar Shari’a 12
1 Waɗannan su ne ƙa’idodi da kuma dokokin da za ku lura, ku kuma kiyaye a ƙasar da Ubangiji, Allahn kakanninku, yake ba ku don ku ci gādonta, muddin kuna zama a ƙasar.
“(I will now tell you again/These, [again], are) the rules and regulations that you must faithfully obey in the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to you to occupy. You must obey these laws all the time that you are alive.
2 Ku hallaka dukan wuraren da al’umman da kuke kora suke yi wa allolinsu sujada, a kan duwatsu masu tsawo, da a kan tuddai, da kuma ƙarƙashin kowane itace gaba ɗaya.
You must destroy all the places where the people-groups that you will expel worship their gods, on the tops of mountains and hills and under big green trees.
3 Ku rurrushe bagadansu, ku farfashe keɓaɓɓun duwatsunsu, ku kuma ƙone ginshiƙan Asheransu da wuta; ku yayyanka gumakan allolinsu, ku kuma shafe sunayensu daga waɗannan wurare.
You must tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Completely burn the statues of their goddess Asherah in fires, and chop down their wooden idols, in order that no one will ever worship them [MTY] in those places again.
4 Ba za ku yi wa Ubangiji Allahnku sujada a hanyar da suke yi ba.
“Do not worship Yahweh like [the people in Canaan worship their gods].
5 Amma sai ku nemi wurin da Ubangiji Allahnku zai zaɓa daga cikin dukan kabilanku, inda zai sa Sunansa, yă mai wurin mazauninsa. A wannan wuri ne za ku tafi;
Instead, you must go to the place that Yahweh will choose. It will be in the area where one of your tribes will live. That is where you must go to worship Yahweh.
6 a can ne kuma za ku kawo hadayun ƙonawa da sadakoki, zakkarku da kyautai na musamman, da abin da kuka yi alkawari za ku bayar, da hadayunku na yardar rai, da kuma’ya’yan farin garkunanku na shanu da na tumaki.
That is the place where you must bring your sacrifices that will be completely burned on the altar, and your other sacrifices, (your tithes/ten percent of all of your crops), other offerings that you decide to give, and the firstborn animals from your cattle and sheep.
7 A can, a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku, ku da iyalanku za su ci, su kuma yi farin ciki a kome da kuka sa hannunku a kai, domin Ubangiji Allahnku zai albarkace ku.
There, in the presence of Yahweh our God, who has [greatly] blessed you, you and your families will eat the good things that you have worked to produce, and you will be happy.
8 Kada ku yi kamar yadda muke yi a nan yau, yadda kowa yake yin abin da ya ga dama.
“[When you are in that land], you must not do some of the things that we have been doing. Until now, you have all been worshiping [Yahweh] the way you wanted to,
9 Gama ba ku kai wurin hutawa wanda Ubangiji Allahnku zai ba ku gādo ba tukuna.
because you have not yet arrived in the land which Yahweh is giving to you, where you will be able to live peacefully.
10 Amma sa’ad da kuka haye Urdun, kuka zauna a ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku ita gādo, zai kuwa ba ku hutu daga dukan abokan gābanku da suke kewaye da ku, kuka sami zaman lafiya,
But when you cross the Jordan [River], you will start to live in the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. He will protect you from all your enemies that will surround you, and you will live peacefully/safely.
11 sai ku kai dukan abin da na umarce ku ku kai, wato, hadayu na ƙonawa, da sadakokinku, da zakkarku, da hadayunku na ɗagawa, da hadayunku na alkawarin da kuka yi wa Ubangiji a wurin da Ubangiji Allahnku ya zaɓa yă sa sunansa.
“Yahweh will choose one place where he wants you to worship him. That is the place to which you must bring all the offerings that I command you to bring: The sacrifices that must be completely burned [on the altar], your other sacrifices, other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, (your tithes/ten percent of all your crops), and all the special offerings that you will solemnly promise to give to Yahweh.
12 A can kuma za ku yi farin ciki a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku, ku da’ya’yanku maza da mata, da bayinku maza da mata, da kuma Lawiyawa daga biranenku, waɗanda ba a ba su rabo ba, ba su kuma da gādo na kansu.
Rejoice there in the presence of Yahweh, along with your children, your male and female servants, and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns. Do not forget that the descendants of Levi will not have their own land, like you will have.
13 Ku kula fa kada ku miƙa hadayun ƙonawa a wani wurin da kuka ga dama.
Be sure that you do not offer sacrifices anywhere you want to.
14 Ku miƙa su kawai a wurin da Ubangiji zai zaɓa a cikin ɗaya daga kabilanku, a can za ku yi kowane abin da na umarce ku.
You must offer them only in the place that Yahweh will choose for you, in an area that belongs to one of your tribes. That is the only place where he wants you to offer sacrifices that will be completely burned [on the altar], and to do the other things that I am commanding you to do [when you worship him].
15 Amma kwa iya yanka nama ku ci a garuruwanku, a duk lokacin da ranku yake so, kamar yadda ake yi da gada ko barewa, bisa ga albarkar da Ubangiji Allahnku yake sa muku. Marar tsarki da mai tsarki, duka za ku iya ci.
“However, you will be permitted to kill and eat the meat of your animals in the places where you live. As often as you want to, you may eat the meat of the animals that Yahweh our God will bless you by giving them to you. Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God and those who have not done things like that may all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
16 Amma kada ku ci jini, ku zubar da shi a ƙasa kamar ruwa.
But you must not eat the blood [of any animals]; you must let the blood drain onto the ground [before you cook the meat].
17 Kada ku ci zakkar hatsi, da na sabon inabi, da kuma na mai a biranenku, ko kuwa na’ya’yan fari na garkunanku na shanu da na tumaki, ko kuwa duk wani abin da kuka yi alkawari za ku bayar, ko hadayunku na yardar rai, ko kyautai na musamman.
In the places where you live, you must not eat the things that you are offering [to Yahweh]: You must not eat the (tithes/ten percent) of your grain or of your wine, or of your [olive] oil, or the firstborn of your cattle and sheep, or the offerings that you yourselves decide to give to Yahweh, or any other offerings.
18 A maimakon haka, sai ku ci su a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku a wurin da Ubangiji Allahnku ya zaɓa, da ku da’ya’yanku maza da mata, da bayinku maza da mata, da kuma Lawiyawa daga biranenku, ku kuwa yi farin ciki a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku a kowane abin da kuka sa hannunku.
Instead, you and your children and your male and female servants and the descendants of Levi who live in your towns must go to the place that he has chosen and eat those things there in the presence of Yahweh. And you should rejoice in the presence of Yahweh about everything that you do.
19 Ku yi hankali, kada ku manta da Lawiyawa, muddin kuna zaune a ƙasarku.
Be sure that you take care of the descendants of Levi all during the time that you live in your land.
20 Sa’ad da Ubangiji Allahnku ya fadada iyakarku kamar yadda ya yi muku alkawari, kuka kuma ji marmarin nama, kuka kuma ce, “Muna so mu ci nama,” to, za ku iya cin yadda kuke so.
“When Yahweh our God gives you much more land [than you will have when you first occupy it], which is what he has promised to do, and you say ‘I would like some meat to eat’ because you are craving/wanting some meat, you will be permitted to eat meat whenever you want to.
21 In wurin da Ubangiji Allahnku ya zaɓa don yă sa Sunansa yana da nisa sosai daga inda kuke, za ku iya yankan dabbobi daga garkunanku na shanu da na tumakin da Ubangiji ya ba ku, kamar yadda na umarce ku, a cikin biranenku kuma za ku iya ci, yadda kuke so.
If the place that Yahweh our God chooses to be the place for you to worship him is far [from where you live], you are permitted to kill some of your cattle or sheep that Yahweh has given to you, and you may eat that meat at the places where you live, just like I have told you to do.
22 Ku ci su yadda akan ci barewa ko mariri. Marar tsarki da mai tsarki, za ku iya ci.
Those who have done things that cause them to become unacceptable to God, and those who have not done things like that, are all permitted to all eat that meat, just like you would eat the meat of a deer or an antelope.
23 Amma ku tabbata ba ku ci jinin ba, domin jini ne rai, ba kuwa za ku ci rai cikin naman ba.
But be sure that you do not eat the blood [of any animal], because it is the blood that sustains life in living beings, and so you must not eat the life along with the meat.
24 Ba za ku ci jini ba, ku zubar da shi a ƙasa kamar ruwa.
Do not eat the blood; instead, let it drain onto the ground.
25 Kada ku ci shi, don ku zauna lafiya, da ku da’ya’yanku bayanku, gama za ku riƙa aikata abin da yake daidai a gaban Ubangiji.
If you obey this command and do what Yahweh says is right [for you to do], things will go well for you and for your descendants.
26 Amma ku ɗauki abubuwa masu tsarki, da kuma duk abin da kuka yi alkawari za ku bayar, ku tafi inda Ubangiji ya zaɓa.
“But the sacred offerings that Yahweh has told you to give and the other offerings that you yourselves decide to give, you must take to the place that Yahweh will choose.
27 Ku miƙa hadayunku na ƙonawa a bagaden Ubangiji Allahnku, da naman da kuma jinin. Dole a zub da jinin hadayunku a gindin bagaden Ubangiji Allahnku, amma za ku iya cin naman.
You must offer there the sacrifices that will be completely burned [on Yahweh’s altar]. You must also offer there the sacrifices from which you may eat some of meat after you [kill the animals and] drain out the blood and some of it is thrown on the [sides of the] altar.
28 Ku yi hankali, ku yi biyayya da dukan waɗannan umarnan da nake ba ku, da kuma’ya’yanku, don ku zauna lafiya, da ku da’ya’yanku a bayanku, gama za ku riƙa aikata abin da yake daidai da kuma yake mai kyau a gaban Ubangiji Allahnku.
Faithfully obey all these things that I have commanded you. If you do that, things will go well forever for you and your descendants, because you will be doing what Yahweh our God says is right [for you to do] and what pleases him.
29 Ubangiji Allahnku zai kawar muku da al’umman nan da kuke niyyar shiga cikin ƙasarsu don ku kore su, bayan kuka kore su, kuka kuma zauna a ƙasarsu,
“When you enter the land that you will occupy, as you advance, Yahweh our God will get rid of the people-groups that live there.
30 to, sai ku lura, kada ku jarrabtu ku kwaikwaye su bayan da an riga an shafe su daga gabanku, kada ku tambayi kome game da allolinsu, kuna cewa, “Yaya waɗannan al’ummai suke bauta wa allolinsu? Mu ma za mu yi kamar yadda suka yi.”
After he does that, be sure that you do not [worship the gods] that they have been worshiping, because if you do that, you will be caught in the same trap [that they were caught in] [MET]. Do not ask anyone about those gods, saying, ‘Tell me how they worshiped their gods, in order that I can [worship them] also.’
31 Ba za ku yi wa Ubangiji Allahnku sujada a hanyar da suke yi ba, gama a cikin yin sujada wa allolinsu, sun yi dukan abubuwan banƙyaman da Ubangiji yake ƙi. Har ma sukan ƙone’ya’yansu maza da mata a wuta a matsayin hadayu.
Do not try to worship Yahweh our God like they have worshiped their gods, because when they worship them, they do disgusting things, things that Yahweh hates. [The worst thing that they do is] that they sacrifice their own children and burn them [on their altars].
32 Ku lura, ku aikata dukan abin da na umarce ku; kada ku ƙara, kada ku rage daga cikin.
“Be sure to do everything that I have commanded you to do. Do not add anything to these commands, and do not take anything away from them.”
