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 spoke to all of Israel, across the Jordan, in the plain of the wilderness opposite the Red Sea, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth, where gold is very plentiful,
2 (Yakan ɗauki kwana goma sha ɗaya daga Horeb zuwa Kadesh Barneya ta hanyar Dutsen Seyir.)
eleven days from Horeb, by way of Mount Seir as far as 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.
In the fortieth year, on the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses told the sons of Israel all that the Lord had instructed him. And so he spoke to 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 struck down Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, who resided at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
5 Gabas da iyakar Mowab, Musa ya fara bayyana wannan doka, yana cewa,
across the Jordan in the land of Moab. And so, Moses began to explain the law, and to say:
6 Ubangiji Allahnmu ya faɗa mana a Horeb cewa, “Daɗewarku a wannan dutse ya isa haka.
“The Lord our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying: ‘You have remained long enough on 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.
Turn back and go to the mountain of the Amorites, and to the other places which are near it: the plains as well as the mountainous regions, and the low-lying places opposite the south and along the shore of the sea, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great 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.”
‘Lo,’ he said, ‘I have delivered it to you. Enter and possess that which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their offspring after them.’
9 A wancan lokaci na faɗa muku cewa, “Ku kaya ne masu nauyi da ni kaɗai ba zan iya ɗauka ba.
And I said to you, at that time:
10 Ubangiji Allahnku ya ƙara yawanku har yau kuka zama da yawa kamar taurari a sarari.
‘I alone am not able to sustain you. For the Lord, your God, has multiplied you, and you are today like the stars of heaven, very many.
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, add to this number many thousands more, and may he bless you, just as he has said.
12 Amma yaya zan ɗauka dukan damuwoyinku da nawayarku da kuma faɗace-faɗacenku duka ni kaɗai?
Alone, I do not have the strength to endure your arbitrations and judgments and disputes.
13 Ku zaɓi waɗansu masu hikima, masu ganewa, da kuma mutanen da ake girmama daga kowace kabilarku, zan kuma sa su a kanku.”
Offer, from among you, wise and experienced men, those whose conversation has been proven within your tribes, so that I may appoint them as your rulers.’
14 Kuka amsa mini, kuka ce, “Abin da ka ce za ka yi, yana da kyau.”
Then you responded to me: ‘What you intend to do is a good thing.’
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.
And so, I took from your tribes men, wise and noble, and I appointed them as rulers, as tribunes and centurions, and as leaders over fifty and over ten, who would teach you each thing.
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 I instructed them, saying: ‘Listen to them, and judge what is just, whether he is one of your citizens or a sojourner.
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.”
There shall be no favoritism to any persons. So you shall listen to the little as well as to the great. And you shall not accept anyone’s reputation, for this is the judgment of God. But if anything seems difficult to you, then refer it to me, and I will hear it.’
18 A wancan lokacin kuwa na faɗa muku dukan abin da ya kamata ku yi.
And I instructed you in all that you were obliged 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, setting out from Horeb, we crossed through a terrible and great wasteland, which you saw along the way of the mountain of the Amorite, just as the Lord our God had instructed us. And when we had arrived at Kadesh-barnea,
20 Sai na ce muku, “Kun iso ƙasar tudun Amoriyawa, wadda Ubangiji, Allahnmu yake ba mu.
I said to you: ‘You have arrived at the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God will give to 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.”
Gaze upon the land that the Lord your God gives to you. Ascend and possess it, just as the Lord our God has spoken to your fathers. Do not be afraid, and do not become terrified by anything.’
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 all approached me and said: ‘Let us send men who may consider the land, and who may report as to the way by which we ought to ascend, and as to which cities we ought to travel.’
23 Ra’ayin nan naku ya yi mini kyau, saboda haka na zaɓe ku goma sha biyu, mutum guda daga kowace kabila.
And since the word was pleasing to me, I sent from among you twelve men, one from each tribe.
24 Suka tafi, suka haura zuwa ƙasar tudu, suka kai Kwarin Eshkol, suka leƙo asirin ƙasar.
These, when they had set out and had ascended the mountains, arrived as far as the valley of the cluster of grapes. And having considered the land,
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.”
having taken from its fruits in order to show its fertility, they brought these to us, and they said: ‘The land that the Lord our God will give to us is good.’
26 Amma ba ku yi niyya ku haura ba, kuka yi tawaye gāba da umarnin Ubangiji Allahnku.
Yet you were not willing to go there. Instead, being incredulous to the word of the Lord our God,
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.
you murmured in your tents, and you said: ‘The Lord hates us, and therefore he has led us away from the land of Egypt, so that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us.
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.’”
To where should we ascend? The messengers have terrified our heart by saying: “The multitude is very great, and taller than us. And the cities are great, and the walls extend even to the sky. We have seen the sons of the Anakim there.”’
29 Sai na ce muku, “Kada ku firgita; kada ku ji tsoronsu.
And I said to you: ‘Do not be apprehensive, nor should you fear them.
30 Ubangiji Allahnku yana a gabanku, zai yi yaƙi saboda ku, kamar yadda ya yi a kan idanunku a Masar,
The Lord God himself, who is your leader, will fight on your behalf, just as he did in Egypt in the sight of all.
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 wilderness (as you yourselves saw), the Lord your God carried you, like a man who is accustomed to carrying his little son, along all the way that you walked, until you arrived at this place.’
32 Duk da haka, ba ku amince da Ubangiji Allahnku ba,
And yet, despite all of this, you did not believe 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 went before you on the way, and who marked out the place where you should pitch your tents, showing you the way by fire in the night, and by a pillar of cloud in the day.
34 Da Ubangiji ya ji abin da kuka faɗa, sai ya husata, ya kuma yi rantsuwa ya ce,
And when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, becoming angry, he swore and said:
35 “Babu wani a cikin wannan muguwar tsara da zai ga ƙasa mai kyau da na rantse zan ba wa kakanninku,
‘None of the men of this wicked generation will see the good land, which I have promised by oath 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.”
except Caleb the son of Jephuneh. For he himself will see it, and I will give the land on which he has walked to him and to his sons, because he has followed the Lord.’
37 Saboda ku Ubangiji ya husata da ni, ya kuma ce, “Kai ma, ba za ka shiga ƙasar ba.
Neither is his indignation with the people a wonder, since the Lord also became angry with me because of you, and so he said: ‘Neither will you enter into that place.
38 Amma mataimakinka, Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, zai shiga. Ka ƙarfafa shi gama shi ne zai jagoranci Isra’ila su gāje ta.
But Joshua, the son of Nun, your minister, shall himself enter on your behalf. Exhort and strengthen this man, and he himself shall divide the land by lot to Israel.
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.
Your little ones, about whom you said that they would be led away as captives, and your sons, who to this day are ignorant of the difference between good and evil, they shall enter. And I will give the land to them, and they will possess it.
40 Amma ku kam, sai ku juya, ku koma cikin hamada ta hanyar Jan Teku.”
But as for you, turn back and go out to the wilderness, by 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.
And you responded to me: ‘We have sinned against the Lord. We will ascend and fight, just as the Lord our God has instructed.’ And having been equipped with weapons, when you were setting out for the mountain,
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.’”
the Lord said to me: ‘Say to them: Do not ascend and do not fight. For I am not with you. Otherwise, you may fall in the sight of your enemies.’
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.
I spoke, and you did not listen. But, opposing the order of the Lord, and swelling with pride, you ascended onto the mountain.
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 so, having gone forth, the Amorite, who was living in the mountains, came against you and pursued you, just as a swarm of bees would do. And he struck you down from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45 Kuka dawo, kuka yi kuka a gaban Ubangiji, amma bai kula da ku ba, balle yă saurare ku.
And when you returned and were weeping in the sight of the Lord, he would not hear you, nor was he willing to agree to your voice.
46 Haka kuwa kuka zauna a Kadesh kwanaki masu yawa, kuka ci lokaci a can.
Therefore, you camped at Kadesh-barnea for a long time.”
