Maimaitawar Shari’a 8
1 Ku hankali, ku bi kowane umarnin da nake ba ku a yau, saboda ku rayu, ku ƙaru, ku kuma shiga, ku mallaki ƙasar da Ubangiji ya alkawarta da rantsuwa ga kakanninku.
“You must faithfully obey all the commandments that I am giving you today. If you do that, you will live [a long time], you will become very numerous, and you will occupy the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give [to you].
2 Ku tuna yadda Ubangiji Allahnku ya bishe ku a dukan hanya, a cikin hamada waɗannan shekaru arba’in, don yă ƙasƙantar da ku, yă kuma gwada ku don yă san abin da yake a zuciyarku, ko za ku kiyaye umarnansa, ko babu.
And do not forget how Yahweh our God led us as we traveled through the desert during these past 40 years. He [caused you to have many problems/difficulties], because he wanted to cause you to realize that you needed to trust him and not yourselves. And he wanted to test you, to find out what you intended to do [IDM], whether you would obey his commandments or not.
3 Ya ƙasƙantar da ku, ya bar ku da yunwa, sa’an nan ya ciyar da ku da Manna, wadda ku, ko kakanninku, ba su sani ba, ta haka ne ya sa kuka sani cewa, ba da abinci kaɗai mutum zai rayu ba, amma ta wurin kowace kalmar da ta fito daga bakin Ubangiji.
So he caused you to have/experience difficulties. He allowed you to become hungry. Then he gave you manna [food from heaven], food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did that to teach you that people need food [for their bodies]; but [they also need food for their spirits, which comes from paying attention to] everything that Yahweh says [MTY].
4 Tufafinku ba su yayyage ba, ƙafafunku kuma ba su kumbura ba a waɗannan shekaru arba’in.
During those 40 years [of walking through the desert], our clothes did not wear out and our feet did not swell [from walking a very long way through the desert].
5 Sai ku sani fa a cikin zuciyarku cewa kamar yadda mutum kan horar da ɗansa, haka Ubangiji Allahnku ke horar da ku.
Do not forget that Yahweh our God disciplines us, like parents discipline their children.
6 Ku kiyaye umarnan Ubangiji Allahnku, kuna tafiya cikin hanyoyinsa, kuna kuma girmama shi.
“Do obey the commandments of Yahweh our God, and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and revere him.
7 Gama Ubangiji Allahnku yana fitar da ku zuwa cikin ƙasa mai kyau, ƙasa mai rafuffuka da tafkunan ruwa, tare da maɓulɓulai masu gudu a kwari da tuddai;
He is about to bring you into a good/fertile land, which has streams which flow down from the hills and pour/flow out of springs in the valleys.
8 ƙasa mai alkama da sha’ir, inabi da ɓaure, rumman, man zaitun da zuma;
It is a land on which wheat and barley grow, a land where there are fig trees and pomegranates, and a land where there are olive trees and honey.
9 ƙasa inda abinci ba zai yi ƙaranci ba, ba kuma za ku rasa kome ba; ƙasa ce inda ƙarfe ne duwatsunta, ana kuma haƙar tagulla a tuddanta.
It is a land where there will be plenty of food for you, where you will (not lack anything/have everything that you need) [LIT], a land which has iron [ore] in its rocks and from which you can dig copper [ore] from its hills.
10 Sa’ad da kuka ci, kuka ƙoshi, sai ku yabi Ubangiji Allahnku saboda ƙasa mai kyau da ya ba ku.
[Every day] you will eat until your stomachs are full, and you will thank Yahweh our God for the fertile/good land that he has given you.
11 Ku yi hankali cewa ba ku manta da Ubangiji Allahnku, har ku kāsa kiyaye umarnansa, dokokinsa da ƙa’idodinsa da nake ba ku a wannan rana ba.
But, [when that happens], be sure not to forget Yahweh our God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
12 To, sa’ad da kuka ci, kuka ƙoshi, sa’ad da kuka gina gidaje masu kyau, kuka zauna,
When your stomachs are full [every day], and when you have built good houses and are living in them,
13 sa’ad da kuma garkunanku na shanu da na tumaki suka ƙaru, azurfanku da zinariyarku kuma suka ƙaru, sa’an nan dukan abin da kuke da shi ya haɓaka,
and when the number of your cattle and sheep has greatly increased, and when you have accumulated a large amount of silver and gold, and the amount of all your other possessions has greatly increased,
14 to, sai ku lura, kada ku ɗaukaka kanku, har ku manta da Ubangiji Allahnku, wanda ya fitar da ku daga Masar, daga ƙasar bauta kuma.
be sure that you do not become proud [IDM] and forget Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt and brought them out from there.
15 Ya bishe ku cikin hamada mai fāɗi, mai bantsoro, wannan busasshiyar ƙasa wadda ba ta da ruwa, ga macizai masu dafi da kuma kunamai. Ya ba ku ruwa daga dutsen ƙanƙara.
Do not forget that he led them [while they traveled] through that huge and terrible desert, where there were poisonous snakes and scorpions. And do not forget that where the ground was very dry and there was no water, he caused water to flow for them out of (solid/very hard) rock.
16 Ya ba ku Manna don ku ci a cikin hamada, wani abin da kakanninku ba su taɓa sani ba, don yă ƙasƙantar yă kuma gwada ku, saboda yă yi muku alheri daga baya.
Do not forget that in that desert he gave your ancestors manna to eat, food that they had never eaten before. He [caused them to have/experience many problems/difficulties], because he wanted them to realize that they needed to trust him and not themselves. And he wanted to test them, to find out whether they intended to obey him, in order that when [those difficulties] ended, he would do many good things for them.
17 Wataƙila ku ce wa kanku, “Ikona da ƙarfin hannuwana ne suka ba ni da wannan arziki.”
Be sure that you do not think to yourselves, ‘I have acquired all these things by my own power [MTY] and ability.’
18 Amma ku tuna da Ubangiji Allahnku, gama shi ne wanda yake ba ku azanci na yin arziki, ta haka kuwa ya tabbatar da alkawarinsa, wanda ya rantse wa kakanninku, kamar yadda yake a yau.
Do not forget that it is Yahweh our God who has enabled you to become rich. He does this because he faithfully does what he solemnly promised our ancestors that he would do.
19 In kuka manta da Ubangiji Allahnku, kuka kuma bi waɗansu alloli, kuka yi musu sujada, kuka kuma rusuna musu, to, a yau ina gargaɗe ku cewa tabbatacce za a hallaka ku.
“solemnly warn you that if you forget Yahweh our God and turn to other gods and start to serve them and worship them, you will certainly be destroyed.
20 Kamar al’ummai da Ubangiji ya hallakar kafin ku, haka zai hallaka ku, domin ba ku yi biyayya da muryar Ubangiji Allahnku ba.
If you do not obey Yahweh our God, he will certainly destroy you just like he will destroy the people-groups that you will fight against.”
