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 spake unto all Israel, over the Jordan, —in the wilderness in the waste plain over against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban and Hazeroth and Di-zahab:

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.

And it came to pass, in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spake unto the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh had given him in charge 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 smitten Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, —and Og, king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, in Edrei:

5 Gabas da iyakar Mowab, Musa ya fara bayyana wannan doka, yana cewa,

over the Jordan, in the land of Moab, did Moses take in hand to expound this law, saying: —

6 Ubangiji Allahnmu ya faɗa mana a Horeb cewa, “Daɗewarku a wannan dutse ya isa haka.

Yahweh our God, spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Long enough, have ye dwelt 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.

Turn ye and set yourselves forward, and enter into the hill country of the Amorites, and into all the places near, in the plain, in the mountain, and in the lowland, and in the south, and in the coast of the sea, —the land of Canaan and the 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! I have set before you the land, —enter and possess the land, which, Yahweh sware unto your fathers to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them, and unto 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.

So I spake unto you, at that time saying, I am unable, by myself, to carry you.

10 Ubangiji Allahnku ya ƙara yawanku har yau kuka zama da yawa kamar taurari a sarari.

Yahweh your God hath multiplied you, and here ye are to-day, like the stars of the heavens for multitude.

11 Bari Ubangiji, Allahn kakanninku yă ƙara yawanku sau dubu, yă kuma albarkace ku yadda ya yi alkawari!

Yahweh, the God of your fathers, be adding unto you the like of you, a thousand times, —and bless you, as he hath spoken unto you!

12 Amma yaya zan ɗauka dukan damuwoyinku da nawayarku da kuma faɗace-faɗacenku duka ni kaɗai?

How should I carry by myself the fatigue of you and the burden of you and your controversies?

13 Ku zaɓi waɗansu masu hikima, masu ganewa, da kuma mutanen da ake girmama daga kowace kabilarku, zan kuma sa su a kanku.”

Set forth for you—men wise and discerning, and known to your tribes, —that I may appoint them to be heads over you.

14 Kuka amsa mini, kuka ce, “Abin da ka ce za ka yi, yana da kyau.”

And ye answered me, —and said, Good, is the word which thou hast spoken to be done.

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 heads for your tribes wise men and known, and placed them as heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers for 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 I charged your judges, at that time, saying, —Ye are to hear between your brethren and shall judge righteously, between each man and his brother and his 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.”

Ye shall not take note of faces in judgment—so the small as the great, shall ye hear, ye shall not shrink from the face of any man, for judgment, unto God, belongeth, —but the thing which is too hard for you, shall ye bring near unto me, and I will hear it.

18 A wancan lokacin kuwa na faɗa muku dukan abin da ya kamata ku yi.

So I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should 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.

And when we brake up from Horeb, we came through all that great and terrible desert which ye saw, by way of the hill-country of the Amorites, as Yahweh our God commanded us, —and we entered in as far as Kadesh-barnea.

20 Sai na ce muku, “Kun iso ƙasar tudun Amoriyawa, wadda Ubangiji, Allahnmu yake ba mu.

Then said I unto you, —Ye are come in as far as the hill-country of the Amorites, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto 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 thou—Yahweh thy God hath set before thee the land, —go up—take possession as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken unto thee, do not fear, neither be dismayed.

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 ye came near unto me all of you, and said Let us send men before us, that they may search out for us the land, —and bring us back word, the way by which we must go up, and the cities whereinto we must enter,

23 Ra’ayin nan naku ya yi mini kyau, saboda haka na zaɓe ku goma sha biyu, mutum guda daga kowace kabila.

And the thing, was good in mine eyes, —so I took from among you twelve men, one man for each tribe.

24 Suka tafi, suka haura zuwa ƙasar tudu, suka kai Kwarin Eshkol, suka leƙo asirin ƙasar.

And they turned and went up the hill-country, and entered in as far as the ravine of Eshcol, and explored it.

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 they took in their hand of the fruit of the country, and bare it down unto us, and brought us back word, and said, Good is the land, which Yahweh our God, is giving unto us.

26 Amma ba ku yi niyya ku haura ba, kuka yi tawaye gāba da umarnin Ubangiji Allahnku.

Nevertheless ye were not willing to go up, —but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, your 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.

and murmured in your tents and said, Because Yahweh hated us, hath he brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, —to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to 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.’”

Whither, are, we, to go up? Our own brethren, have made our heart melt saying—A people greater and taller than we, cities large and walled-up into the heavens, —yea, moreover sons of Anakim, have we seen there.

29 Sai na ce muku, “Kada ku firgita; kada ku ji tsoronsu.

Then I said unto you, —Ye must not tremble, nor be afraid of them:

30 Ubangiji Allahnku yana a gabanku, zai yi yaƙi saboda ku, kamar yadda ya yi a kan idanunku a Masar,

Yahweh your God, who is going before you, he, will fight for you, —according to all that he did with 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.”

also in the desert which thou hast seen, where Yahweh thy God carried thee as a man will carry his son, throughout all the way that ye journeyed, until ye entered as far as, this place.

32 Duk da haka, ba ku amince da Ubangiji Allahnku ba,

But in this thing, ye were putting no trust in Yahweh 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 was going before you in the way—to search out for you a place, where ye might encamp, —in the fire by night, that ye might get sight of the way wherein ye should go, and in the cloud, by day.

34 Da Ubangiji ya ji abin da kuka faɗa, sai ya husata, ya kuma yi rantsuwa ya ce,

And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, —and was wroth and sware—saying:

35 “Babu wani a cikin wannan muguwar tsara da zai ga ƙasa mai kyau da na rantse zan ba wa kakanninku,

Surely, not one of these men, this wicked generation, —shall see the good land, which I sware to give unto 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.”

saving Caleb son of Jephunneh, he, shall see it, and unto him, will I give the land through which he hath trodden, and unto his sons, —because he hath wholly followed Yahweh.

37 Saboda ku Ubangiji ya husata da ni, ya kuma ce, “Kai ma, ba za ka shiga ƙasar ba.

Even with me, did Yahweh show himself angry, for your sakes, saying, —Even thou, shalt not enter therein.

38 Amma mataimakinka, Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, zai shiga. Ka ƙarfafa shi gama shi ne zai jagoranci Isra’ila su gāje ta.

Joshua son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he, shall enter in thither, him, strengthen thou, for he, shall cause Israel to inherit it.

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, of whom ye said they should become, a prey, and your sons who to-day know not good and evil, they, shall enter in thither, —and unto them, will I give it, and they, shall possess it.

40 Amma ku kam, sai ku juya, ku koma cikin hamada ta hanyar Jan Teku.”

But as for you, turn ye, for your part, —and set forward towards the desert, 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.

Then responded ye and said unto me—We have sinned against Yahweh, We, ourselves, will go up, and fight, according to all that Yahweh our God hath commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye foolishly went up towards 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.’”

Then said Yahweh unto me—Say unto them Ye shall not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, —lest ye should be smitten before 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.

So I spake unto you howbeit ye hearkened not, —but rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and presumptuously went up 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.

Then came forth the Amorites who were dwelling in that country, to meet you, and they chased you, as do, bees; and struck you down in Seir, as far as Hormah.

45 Kuka dawo, kuka yi kuka a gaban Ubangiji, amma bai kula da ku ba, balle yă saurare ku.

So then ye returned and wept before Yahweh, —but Yahweh hearkened not unto your voice, nor gave ear unto you.

46 Haka kuwa kuka zauna a Kadesh kwanaki masu yawa, kuka ci lokaci a can.

And ye abode in Kadesh many days, —how many were the days that ye abode [there]!
