Maimaitawar Shari’a 7
1 Sa’ad da Ubangiji Allahnku ya kawo ku ƙasar da kuke shiga don ku mallaka, ya kuma kori al’ummai masu yawa a gabanku; wato, Hittiyawa, Girgashiyawa, Amoriyawa, Kan’aniyawa, Ferizziyawa, Hiwiyawa da Yebusiyawa, al’ummai bakwai masu girma da ƙarfi fiye da ku.
“Yahweh our God will bring you to the land that you will soon enter and occupy. As you advance, he will expel from that land seven people-groups that are more powerful and more numerous than you are. He will expel the Heth people-group, the Girgash people-group, the Amor people-group, the Canaan people-group, the Periz people-group, the Hiv people-group, and the Jebus people-group.
2 Sa’ad da kuma Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba da su gare ku, kuka kuma ci su da yaƙi, sai ku hallaka su ƙaƙaf. Kada ku yi yarjejjeniya da su, kada kuma ku nuna musu jinƙai.
When Yahweh our God enables you to defeat [DOU] them, you must kill all of them. You must not make (an alliance/a peace treaty) with any of them. You must not act mercifully toward them.
3 Kada ku yi auratayya da su. Kada ku ba da’ya’yanku mata wa’ya’yansu maza, ko ku ɗauko’ya’yansu mata wa’ya’yanku maza.
You must not marry any of them. You must not allow your daughters to marry any of their sons or allow your sons to marry any of their daughters.
4 Gama za su juye’ya’yanku maza daga bina, su bauta waɗansu alloli, fushin Ubangiji kuma zai ƙuna a kanku da sauri, zai kuma hallaka ku.
Because, if you did that, those people would cause your children to stop worshiping Yahweh and to worship other gods. If that happens, Yahweh will be very angry with you and he will get rid of you immediately.
5 Ga abin da za ku yi da su, za ku rurrushe bagadansu, ku ragargaza keɓaɓɓun duwatsunsu, ku farfashe ginshiƙan Asheransu, ku kuma ƙona gumakansu da wuta.
This is what you must do to those people: Tear down their (altars/places for sacrificing animals), break apart the stone pillars [that are dedicated to their male god Baal], cut down the [poles that they use when they worship the goddess] Asherah, and burn their [wooden] idols.
6 Gama ku mutane masu tsarki ne ga Ubangiji Allahnku. Ubangiji Allahnku ya zaɓe ku daga dukan mutane a fuskar duniya, don ku zama mutanensa, kayan gādonsa.
You must do that because you are a group of people who belong to Yahweh our God. He has chosen you from among all the people-groups in the world to be his own special people.
7 Ba don kun fi sauran al’ummai yawa ne ya sa Ubangiji ya ƙaunace ku, ya kuma zaɓe ku ba, gama ku ne mafi ƙanƙanta cikin dukan al’ummai.
“It was not because you were more numerous than any other people-group that Yahweh preferred you; you are one of the smallest people-groups on the earth.
8 Amma ya zama haka domin Ubangiji ya ƙaunace ku, ya kuma kiyaye rantsuwar da ya yi wa kakanninku da ya fitar da ku da hannu mai ƙarfi, ya kuma cece ku daga ƙasar bauta, daga ikon Fir’auna sarkin Masar.
Instead, it is because Yahweh loved you and because he wanted to do what he vowed to your ancestors. That is the reason that he rescued you by his great power [MTY], and freed you from being slaves [MTY] of the king of Egypt.
9 Saboda haka, ku sani cewa Ubangiji Allahnku, shi ne Allah; shi Allah ne mai aminci, yana kiyaye alkawarinsa na ƙauna ga tsararraki dubu na waɗanda suke ƙaunarsa suke kuma kiyaye umarnansa.
So do not forget that Yahweh our God is the only/true God. He will do what he agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love (for 1,000 generations/forever) all those who love him and who obey his commandments.
10 Amma waɗanda suke ƙinsa, a fili yakan sāka musu da hallaka; ba zai yi jinkiri yin ramuwa a kan maƙiyinsa ba, zai yi ramuwar a fili.
But for those who hate him, he will (pay them back/do to them what they deserve); he will punish them and quickly get rid of them.
11 Saboda haka, sai ku lura, ku bi umarnai, ƙa’idodi, da dokokin nan da nake ba ku a yau.
“So you must be sure to obey all the commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
12 In kuka mai da hankali ga waɗannan dokoki, kuka kuma yi hankali ga bin su, to, Ubangiji Allahnku zai kiyaye alkawarinsa na ƙauna gare ku, kamar yadda ya rantse wa kakanninku.
If you heed these commands and obey them faithfully, Yahweh our God will do what he has agreed to do for you, and he will faithfully love you, which is what he vowed to your ancestors that he would do.
13 Zai ƙaunace ku, yă albarkace ku, yă kuma ƙara yawanku. Zai albarkaci’ya’yanku, amfanin gonarku; hatsinku, sabon ruwan inabinku da kuma mai, ƙanana shanunku, da’yan tumaki na tumakinku, a ƙasar da ya rantse wa kakanninku cewa zai ba ku.
He will love you and bless you. He will enable you to have many children [DOU]. He will bless your fields, with the result that you will have plenty of grain and [grapes to make] wine and plenty of [olive] oil. You will have many cattle and sheep. He will do all these things for you in the land that he promised to your ancestors that he would give to you.
14 Za a albarkace ku fiye da waɗansu mutane; babu wani cikin maza ko matanku da zai kasance babu haihuwa, ba kuwa wata dabbarku da za tă kasance babu haihuwa.
He will bless you more than he will bless any other people-group. All of you will be able to have/produce children [LIT]. All of your livestock will be able to produce offspring.
15 Ubangiji zai kiyaye ku daga kowace cuta. Ba zai wahalshe ku da mugayen cututtukan da kuka sani a Masar ba, amma zai aukar wa dukan maƙiyanku.
And Yahweh will protect you from all illnesses. You will not be afflicted with any of the dreadful diseases that [our ancestors knew about] in Egypt, but all your enemies will be inflicted with those diseases.
16 Dole ku hallaka dukan mutanen da Ubangiji Allahnku ya bashe su gare ku. Kada ku ji tausayinsu, kada kuma ku bauta wa allolinsu, gama wannan zai zama tarko gare ku.
You must get rid of all the people-groups that Yahweh our God will enable you to conquer. Do not [SYN] act mercifully toward any of them. And do not worship their gods, because if you do that, it would be like falling into a trap [from which you will never be able to escape].
17 Wataƙila ku ce wa kanku, “Waɗannan al’ummai sun fi mu ƙarfi. Yaya za mu kore su?”
“Do not think to yourselves, ‘These people-groups are more numerous/powerful than we are, so we certainly cannot [RHQ] expel them.’
18 Amma kada ku ji tsoronsu; ku tuna da kyau abin da Ubangiji Allahnku ya yi wa Fir’auna da kuma dukan Masar.
Do not be afraid of them. Instead, think about what Yahweh our God did to the king of Egypt and to all the people whom he [ruled].
19 Kun ga da idanunku, manyan gwaje-gwaje, alamu masu banmamaki da al’ajabai, hannu mai ƙarfi da kuma mai ikon da Ubangiji Allahnku ya fitar da ku. Ubangiji Allahnku zai yi haka ga dukan mutanen da yanzu kuke tsoro.
Do not forget the terrible plagues that your ancestors saw [Yahweh inflict on the people of Egypt], and the many [DOU] miracles [that he performed], and the very powerful [DOU, MTY] way by which he brought your ancestors out [of Egypt]. Yahweh our God will do the same kind of things to the people-groups that you are afraid of now.
20 Ban da haka ma, Ubangiji Allahnku zai aika da rina a cikinsu, har sai sun hallaka sauran mutanen da suka ragu, waɗanda suka ɓuya daga gare ku.
Furthermore, he will cause them to become terrified, and he will destroy those who remain alive and run away to hide from you.
21 Kada ku tsorata saboda su, gama Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda yake a cikinku, Allah ne mai girma da kuma mai banrazana.
Do not be afraid of those people, because Yahweh our God will be with/among you. He is a great God; he is the one you should be afraid of.
22 Da kaɗan da kaɗan Ubangiji Allahnku zai kore waɗannan al’ummai a gabanku. Ba a bari ku hallaka su duka gaba ɗaya ba, in ba haka namun jeji za su yaɗu kewaye da ku.
He will expel those people-groups gradually. You should not [try to] expel all of them at one time, because if you did that, the number of wild animals would quickly increase, [and you would not be able to get rid of them].
23 Amma Ubangiji Allahnku zai ba da su gare ku, yana jefa su cikin rikicewa mai girma, har sai an hallaka su.
Instead, Yahweh will enable you to defeat your enemies [one people-group at a time]. He will cause them to panic until they are destroyed.
24 Zai ba da sarakunsu a hannunku, za ku kuwa shafe sunayensu daga duniya. Babu wani da zai yi tsayayya da ku, za ku hallaka su.
He will enable you to defeat [IDM] their kings. After you kill them, their names will be forgotten {people will forget about them}. No people-group will be able to stop you; you will destroy all of them.
25 Ku ƙone siffar allolinsu da wuta. Kada ku yi ƙyashin azurfa ko zinariyar da aka rufe allolin da ita, Kada ku kwashe su, don kada su zamar muku tarko, gama abin ƙyama ne ga Ubangiji Allahnku.
You must burn the wooden idols [that represent] their gods. Do not desire to take the silver or gold [decorations] that are on those idols, because if you take them for yourselves, they will be like a trap [to cause you to want to worship those idols]. Yahweh hates [the worship of those idols].
26 Kada ku kawo abin ƙyama cikin gidajenku, domin kada ku zama kamar su. Gaba ɗaya ku yi ƙyamarsu, ku ƙi su, gama an ware su, sun zama domin a hallaka.
You must not bring any of those disgusting idols into your houses, because if you do that, God will curse you like he curses them. You must hate and despise [DOU] those idols, because they are things that [Yahweh] has cursed.”
