Maimaitawar Shari’a 1
1 Waɗannan su ne kalmomin da Musa ya yi wa dukan Isra’ila, a hamada gabas da Urdun, wato, Araba, ɗaura da Suf, tsakanin Faran da Tofel, Laban, Hazerot da Dizahab.
These are the words which Moses said to all Israel on the far side of Jordan, in the waste land in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran on the one side, and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab on the other.
2 (Yakan ɗauki kwana goma sha ɗaya daga Horeb zuwa Kadesh Barneya ta hanyar Dutsen Seyir.)
It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
3 A shekara ta arba’in, a rana ta fari ga wata na goma sha ɗaya, Musa ya yi shela ga Isra’ilawa game da dukan abin da Ubangiji ya umarta shi game da su.
Now in the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses gave to the children of Israel all the orders which the Lord had given him for them;
4 Wannan ya faru bayan ya ci Sihon sarkin Amoriyawa wanda ya yi mulki a Heshbon da yaƙi. A Edireyi kuma ya ci Og sarkin Bashan wanda ya yi mulki a Ashtarot da yaƙi.
After he had overcome Sihon, king of the Amorites, ruling in Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, ruling in Ashtaroth, at Edrei:
5 Gabas da iyakar Mowab, Musa ya fara bayyana wannan doka, yana cewa,
On the far side of Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses gave the people this law, saying,
6 Ubangiji Allahnmu ya faɗa mana a Horeb cewa, “Daɗewarku a wannan dutse ya isa haka.
The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, You have been long enough in this mountain:
7 Ku tashi, ku ci gaba zuwa ƙasar tudun Amoriyawa; ku tafi wurin dukan maƙwabta a cikin Araba, a cikin duwatsu, a gindin yammancin tuddai, a Negeb da kuma a ta kwaruruka, da ƙasar Kan’aniyawa da kuma zuwa Lebanon, har zuwa babban kogi, wato, Yuferites.
Make a move now, and go on your way into the hill-country of the Amorites and the places near it, in the Arabah and the hill-country and in the lowlands and in the South and by the seaside, all the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Duba na riga na ba ku wannan ƙasa. Ku shiga ku mallaki ƙasar da Ubangiji ya rantse zai ba wa kakanninku, ga Ibrahim, Ishaku da kuma Yaƙub, da kuma ga zuriyarsu bayansu.”
See, all the land is before you: go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their seed after them.
9 A wancan lokaci na faɗa muku cewa, “Ku kaya ne masu nauyi da ni kaɗai ba zan iya ɗauka ba.
At that time I said to you, I am not able to undertake the care of you by myself;
10 Ubangiji Allahnku ya ƙara yawanku har yau kuka zama da yawa kamar taurari a sarari.
The Lord your God has given you increase, and now you are like the stars of heaven in number.
11 Bari Ubangiji, Allahn kakanninku yă ƙara yawanku sau dubu, yă kuma albarkace ku yadda ya yi alkawari!
May the Lord, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times greater in number than you are, and give you his blessing as he has said!
12 Amma yaya zan ɗauka dukan damuwoyinku da nawayarku da kuma faɗace-faɗacenku duka ni kaɗai?
How is it possible for me by myself to be responsible for you, and undertake the weight of all your troubles and your arguments?
13 Ku zaɓi waɗansu masu hikima, masu ganewa, da kuma mutanen da ake girmama daga kowace kabilarku, zan kuma sa su a kanku.”
Take for yourselves men who are wise, far-seeing, and respected among you, from your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 Kuka amsa mini, kuka ce, “Abin da ka ce za ka yi, yana da kyau.”
And you made answer and said to me, It is good for us to do as you say.
15 Saboda haka na ɗauko shugabannin kabilanku masu hikima, waɗanda suka saba da ma’amala da jama’a, na sa su shugabanni a gabanku, waɗansu suka zama shugabanni a kan dubu-dubu, waɗansu a kan ɗari-ɗari, waɗansu a kan hamsin-hamsin, waɗansu kuma a kan goma-goma. Na sa su zama shugabanni a kabilanku.
So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men and respected, and made them rulers over you, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers of your tribes.
16 Na kuma umarci alƙalanku a wancan lokaci, na ce, “Ku yi adalci cikin shari’a tsakanin’yan’uwanku, ko damuwar tana tsakanin’yan’uwa Isra’ilawa ne, ko kuwa tsakanin Isra’ilawa da baƙin da suke zaune a cikinku.
And at that time I gave orders to your judges, saying, Let all questions between your brothers come before you for hearing, and give decisions uprightly between a man and his brother or one from another nation who is with him.
17 Kada ku nuna sonkai a cikin hukuncinku, ku saurari kowane ɓangare, babba da ƙarami, kada ku ji tsoron wani, gama hukunci na Allah ne. Ku kawo kowane batun da ya sha ƙarfinku, zan kuwa saurare shi.”
In judging, do not let a man's position have any weight with you; give hearing equally to small and great; have no fear of any man, for it is God who is judge: and any cause in which you are not able to give a decision, you are to put before me and I will give it a hearing.
18 A wancan lokacin kuwa na faɗa muku dukan abin da ya kamata ku yi.
And at that time I gave you all the orders which you were to do.
19 Sa’an nan, muka kama hanya daga Horeb muka ratsa wajen ƙasar tudun Amoriyawa ta dukan hamadarta mai fāɗi, da kuma mai bantsoron da kuka gani, muka kuma kai Kadesh Barneya yadda Ubangiji, Allahnmu ya umarce mu.
Then we went on from Horeb, through all that great and cruel waste which you saw, on our way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the Lord gave us orders; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 Sai na ce muku, “Kun iso ƙasar tudun Amoriyawa, wadda Ubangiji, Allahnmu yake ba mu.
And I said to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.
21 Duba, Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba ku ƙasar. Ku haura ku mallake ta yadda Ubangiji Allahn kakanninku ya faɗa muku. Kada ku ji tsoro, kada ku fid da zuciya.”
See now, the Lord your God has put the land into your hands: go up and take it, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said to you; have no fear and do not be troubled.
22 Sai dukanku kuka zo wurina kuka ce, “Bari mu aiki mutane su yi gaba su leƙi mana asirin ƙasar, su kuma kawo mana labari game da hanyar da za mu bi, da kuma biranen da za mu shiga.”
And you came near to me, every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us to go through the land with care and give us an account of the way we are to go and the towns to which we will come.
23 Ra’ayin nan naku ya yi mini kyau, saboda haka na zaɓe ku goma sha biyu, mutum guda daga kowace kabila.
And what you said seemed good to me, and I took twelve men from among you, one from every tribe;
24 Suka tafi, suka haura zuwa ƙasar tudu, suka kai Kwarin Eshkol, suka leƙo asirin ƙasar.
And they went up into the hill-country and came to the valley of Eshcol, and saw what was there.
25 Suka ɗebi’ya’yan itatuwan ƙasar, suka sauko mana da su, suka kuma ba da labari cewa, “Ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnmu yake ba mu, kyakkyawa ce.”
And taking in their hands some of the fruit of the land, they came down again to us, and gave us their account, saying, It is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us.
26 Amma ba ku yi niyya ku haura ba, kuka yi tawaye gāba da umarnin Ubangiji Allahnku.
But going against the order of the Lord your God, you would not go up:
27 Kuka yi gunaguni a cikin tentunanku, kuna cewa, “Ubangiji ya ƙi mu; shi ya sa ya fitar da mu daga Masar don yă ba da mu ga hannuwan Amoriyawa su hallaka mu.
And you made an angry outcry in your tents, and said, In his hate for us the Lord has taken us out of the land of Egypt, to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction.
28 Ina za mu?’Yan’uwanmu suka sa muka fid da zuciya. Suka ce, ‘Mutanen sun fi mu ƙarfi, sun kuma fi mu tsayi; biranen manya ne, da katanga har sama. Mun ma ga Anakawa a can.’”
Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts feeble with fear by saying, The people are greater and taller than we are, and the towns are great and walled up to heaven; and more than this, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
29 Sai na ce muku, “Kada ku firgita; kada ku ji tsoronsu.
Then I said to you, Have no fear of them.
30 Ubangiji Allahnku yana a gabanku, zai yi yaƙi saboda ku, kamar yadda ya yi a kan idanunku a Masar,
The Lord your God who goes before you will be fighting for you, and will do such wonders as he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 da kuma a cikin hamada. A can ma kun ga yadda Ubangiji Allahnku ya riƙe ku ko’ina da kuka tafi, kamar yadda mahaifi yakan riƙe ɗansa, sai da kuka kai wannan wuri.”
And in the waste land, where you have seen how the Lord was supporting you, as a man does his son, in all your journeying till you came to this place.
32 Duk da haka, ba ku amince da Ubangiji Allahnku ba,
But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,
33 shi da ya sha gabanku a tafiyarku, cikin wuta da dad dare da kuma girgije da rana, don yă nemi wurare domin ku kafa sansani, don kuma yă nuna muku hanyar da za ku bi.
Who goes before you on your way, looking for a place where you may put up your tents, in fire by night, lighting up the way you are to go, and in a cloud by day.
34 Da Ubangiji ya ji abin da kuka faɗa, sai ya husata, ya kuma yi rantsuwa ya ce,
And the Lord, hearing your words, was angry, and said with an oath,
35 “Babu wani a cikin wannan muguwar tsara da zai ga ƙasa mai kyau da na rantse zan ba wa kakanninku,
Truly, not one of this evil generation will see that good land which I said I would give to your fathers,
36 sai dai Kaleb ɗan Yefunne. Zai gan ta, zan ba shi duk ƙasar da tafin ƙafarsa ta taka, shi da zuriyarsa, gama ya bi Ubangiji da zuciya ɗaya.”
But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he will see it; and to him and to his children I will give the land over which his feet have gone, because he has been true to the Lord with all his heart.
37 Saboda ku Ubangiji ya husata da ni, ya kuma ce, “Kai ma, ba za ka shiga ƙasar ba.
And, in addition, the Lord was angry with me because of you, saying, You yourself will not go into it:
38 Amma mataimakinka, Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, zai shiga. Ka ƙarfafa shi gama shi ne zai jagoranci Isra’ila su gāje ta.
Joshua, the son of Nun, your servant, he will go into the land: say to him that he is to be strong, for he will be Israel's guide into their heritage.
39 Amma’ya’yanku ƙanana waɗanda ba su san mugunta ko nagarta ba, waɗanda kuke tsammani za a kwashe su ganima, su za su shiga ƙasar. Zan ba da ita gare su, za su kuwa mallake ta.
And your little ones, who, you said, would come into strange hands, your children, who now have no knowledge of good or evil, they will go into that land, and to them I will give it and it will be theirs.
40 Amma ku kam, sai ku juya, ku koma cikin hamada ta hanyar Jan Teku.”
But as for you, go back, journeying into the waste land by the way of the Red Sea.
41 Sai kuka amsa, kuka ce, “Mun yi zunubi ga Ubangiji. Za mu haura mu yi yaƙi yadda Ubangiji Allahnmu ya umarce mu.” Saboda haka kowannenku ya yi ɗamara da kayan yaƙinsa, kuka yi tsammani zai zama muku da sauƙi ku ci ƙasar tuddai da yaƙi.
Then you said to me, We have done evil against the Lord, we will go up to the attack, as the Lord our God has given us orders. And arming yourselves every one, you made ready to go up without care into the hill-country.
42 Amma Ubangiji ya ce mini, “In faɗa muku, ‘Kada ku fāɗa musu da yaƙi, gama ba zai kasance tare da ku ba. Idan kuka kuskura, abokan gābanku za su murƙushe ku.’”
And the Lord said to me, Say to them, Do not go up to the attack; for I am not among you, and you will be overcome by those who are against you.
43 Sai na faɗa muku, amma ba ku saurara ba. Kuka yi tawaye ga umarnin Ubangiji, a cikin jahilcinku kuwa kuka taka, kuka haura cikin ƙasar tudu.
This I said to you, but you gave no attention and went against the orders of the Lord, and in your pride went up into the hill-country.
44 Amoriyawan da suke zama a waɗannan tuddai, suka fito kamar tarin ƙudan zuma gāba da ku, suka kore ku, suka fatattake ku daga Seyir har zuwa Horma.
And the Amorites who were in the hill-country came out against you and put you to flight, rushing after you like bees, and overcame you in Seir, driving you even as far as Hormah.
45 Kuka dawo, kuka yi kuka a gaban Ubangiji, amma bai kula da ku ba, balle yă saurare ku.
And you came back, weeping before the Lord; but the Lord gave no attention to your cries and did not give ear to you.
46 Haka kuwa kuka zauna a Kadesh kwanaki masu yawa, kuka ci lokaci a can.
So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.
