< Yoshuwa 10 >

1 Adoni-Zedek sarkin Urushalima ya ji cewa Yoshuwa ya ci Ai da yaƙi ya kuma hallaka ta sarai, ya yi wa Ai da sarkinta abin da ya yi wa Yeriko da sarkinta, mutanen Gibeyon kuwa sun yi yarjejjeniya ta salama da Isra’ilawa, suna kuma zama kusa da su.
Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them;
2 Shi da mutanensa suka ji tsoron wannan sosai, gama Gibeyon muhimmiyar birni ce, har ma kamar ɗaya daga cikin biranen sarauta, ya ma fi Ai girma, mazanta duka kuwa mayaƙa ne na ƙwarai.
He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war.
3 Saboda haka sai Adoni-Zedek sarkin Urushalima ya roƙi Hoham sarkin Hebron, Firam sarkin Yarmut, Yafiya sarkin Lakish da Debir sarki Eglon ya ce,
So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,
4 “Ku zo ku taimake ni in kai wa Gibeyon hari. Domin sun yi yarjejjeniya ta salama da Yoshuwa da Isra’ilawa.”
Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.
5 Sai sarakunan nan biyar na Amoriyawa, sarakunan Urushalima, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakish da Eglon suka haɗa sojojinsu. Suka je dukansu suka yi shirin kai wa Gibeyon hari.
So the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it.
6 Sai mutanen Gibeyon suka aika zuwa wurin Yoshuwa a sansani a Gilgal, “Kada ka juya wa bayinka baya, ka zo da sauri ka cece mu! Ka taimake mu domin sarakunan Amoriyawa duka daga kan tudu sun haɗa ƙarfinsu tare za su tasar mana.”
And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.
7 Saboda haka Yoshuwa ya tashi da rundunarsa duka, tare da dukan jarumawansa.
So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.
8 Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Kada ka ji tsoronsu; na ba ka su a hannunka. Ba waninsu da zai iya tsayayya da kai.”
And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before you.
9 Bayan sun yi tafiya dukan dare daga Gilgal, Yoshuwa ya auko musu ba labari.
So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them.
10 Ubangiji ya sa suka ruɗe a gaban Isra’ilawa, Isra’ilawa kuwa suka yi babbar nasara a kansu a Gibeyon. Isra’ilawa suka fafare su a kan hanyar zuwa Bet-Horon suka karkashe su duka har zuwa Azeka da Makkeda.
And the Lord made them full of fear before Israel, and they put great numbers of them to death at Gibeon, and went after them by the way going up to Beth-horon, driving them back to Azekah and Makkedah
11 Suna guje wa Isra’ilawa suna gangarawa a kan hanyar Bet-Horon har zuwa Azeka, sai Ubangiji ya turo manyan duwatsu daga sararin sama suka karkashe su, waɗanda manyan duwatsun suka kashe sun fi waɗanda Isra’ilawa suka kashe da takobi.
And in their flight before Israel, on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword.
12 A ranar da Ubangiji ya ba da Amoriyawa a hannun Isra’ilawa, Yoshuwa ya ce wa Ubangiji a gaban Isra’ilawa, “Ke rana, ki tsaya cik a Gibeyon Kai wata, ka je Kwarin Aiyalon.”
It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.
13 Sai rana ta tsaya cik, wata kuma ya tsaya, har sai da al’ummar ta ɗauki fansa a kan abokan gābanta, kamar yadda aka rubuta a cikin littafin Yashar. Rana ta tsaya a sararin sama, ba tă fāɗi ba har kusan yini guda.
And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day.
14 Ba a taɓa ganin abu haka ba ko dā can, ranar da Ubangiji ya saurari mutum. Ba shakka Ubangiji yana yaƙi domin Isra’ilawa.
And there was no day like that, before it or after it, when the Lord gave ear to the voice of a man; for the Lord was fighting for Israel.
15 Sai Yoshuwa ya koma sansanin Gilgal tare da dukan Isra’ilawa.
And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.
16 Sarakunan guda biyar suka gudu, suka ɓuya a cikin kogo a Makkeda.
But these five kings went in flight secretly to a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
17 Lokacin da aka gaya wa Yoshuwa cewa an sami sarakunan nan biyar a ɓoye a cikin kogo a Makkeda.
And word was given to Joshua that the five kings had been taken in a hole in the rock at Makkedah.
18 Sai ya ce, “Ku mirgina manyan duwatsu ku rufe bakin kogon, sai ku sa waɗannan mutane su yi tsaron kogon.
And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:
19 Amma kada ku tsaya a can! Ku fafari abokan gābanku, ku kai musu hari ta baya, kada ku bari su kai biranensu, gama Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba da su a hannunku.”
But do you, without waiting, go after their army, attacking them from the back; do not let them get into their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hands.
20 Saboda haka Yoshuwa da Isra’ilawa suka hallaka su da yawa ƙwarai, amma’yan kaɗan ɗin da suka rage suka tsere zuwa cikin biranensu masu kāriya.
Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,
21 Dukan rundunar kuma suka dawo sansanin Makkeda tare da Yoshuwa, ba abin da ya same su. Ba wanda ya sāke tsokanar Isra’ilawa.
All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.
22 Yoshuwa ya ce, “Ku buɗe bakin kogon ku kawo mini sarakunan nan guda biyar.”
Then Joshua said, Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock, and make those five kings come out to me.
23 Sai suka kawo sarakunan biyar daga cikin kogo; sarakunan Urushalima, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakish da Eglon.
And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
24 Sa’ad da aka kawo sarakunan nan wurin Yoshuwa, ya kira dukan Isra’ilawa ya ce wa shugabannin rundunoni waɗanda suke tare da shi, “Ku zo nan ku taka wuyan sarakunan nan.” Sai suka zo suka taka wuyansu.
And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.
25 Yoshuwa ya ce musu, “Kada ku ji tsoro, ko kuwa ku razana, amma ku ƙarfafa, ku yi ƙarfin hali. Haka Ubangiji zai yi da duk abokan gāban da za ku yi yaƙi da su.”
And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war.
26 Sai Yoshuwa ya karkashe waɗannan sarakuna guda biyar, ya kuma rataye kowannensu a bisa itace inda jikunansu suka kasance har yamma.
Then Joshua had them put to death, hanging them on five trees, where they were till evening.
27 Da yamma Yoshuwa ya ba da umarni a sauko da su daga itatuwan a jefa su cikin kogon da suka ɓuya. Aka sa manyan duwatsu aka rufe bakin kogon, suna a can har wa yau.
And when the sun went down, they were taken down from the trees, by Joshua's orders, and put into the hole where they had gone to be safe; and great stones were placed at the mouth of the hole, where they are to this day.
28 A ranan nan Yoshuwa ya ci Makkeda da yaƙi. Ya karkashe mutanen tare da sarkinta. Bai bar wani da rai ba. Ya yi wa sarkin Makkeda yadda ya yi wa sarkin Yeriko.
That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.
29 Sai Yoshuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka tashi daga Makkeda zuwa Libna, suka kai mata hari.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;
30 Ubangiji kuma ya ba da ƙasar da sarkinta a hannun Yoshuwa. Yoshuwa ya karkashe kowa ya hallaka birnin, bai bar wani da rai ba. Ya kuma yi wa sarkin yadda ya yi wa sarkin Yeriko.
And again the Lord gave it and its king into the hands of Israel; and he put it and every person in it to the sword, till their destruction was complete; and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
31 Sai Yoshuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka tashi daga Libna zuwa Lakish; suka yi shiri suka kai mata hari.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on it,
32 Ubangiji ya ba da Lakish a hannun Isra’ilawa, a rana ta biyu kuwa Yoshuwa ya ci nasara a kansu. Ya karkashe duk mutanen birnin ya kuma hallaka birnin, kamar yadda ya yi a Libna.
And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah.
33 Horam sarkin Gezer kuwa ya zo don yă taimaki Lakish, amma Yoshuwa ya haɗa duk da shi da rundunarsa ya ci su da yaƙi, har bai bar waninsu da rai ba.
Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to the help of Lachish; and Joshua overcame him and his people, putting all of them to death.
34 Yoshuwa kuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka tashi daga Lakish zuwa Eglon; suka yi shiri suka kai mata hari.
And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on it;
35 A ranan nan suka ci ƙasar da yaƙi, suka buge ta, suka karkashe kowa da takobi kamar dai yadda suka yi a Lakish.
And that day they took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword, as he had done to Lachish.
36 Sai Yoshuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka tashi daga Eglon zuwa Hebron suka kai hari a can.
And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it;
37 Suka ci birnin da yaƙi, suka karkashe mazaunanta, da sarkin, har da ƙauyukan, ba wanda ya tsira kamar yadda ya yi wa Eglon. Ya hallakar da ita sarai duk da kowane mutum da yake cikinta.
And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it.
38 Yoshuwa da Isra’ilawa duka suka juya suka kai wa Debir hari,
And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir;
39 suka hallaka birnin, da sarkinta da ƙauyukanta, suka karkashe dukan mazaunan wurin, ba su bar wani da rai ba. Suka yi wa Debir da sarkinta yadda suka yi wa Libna da sarkinta da kuma Hebron.
And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king.
40 Yoshuwa ya cinye yankin duka da yaƙi, haɗe da na kan tudu, da Negeb, da kwarin yamma, da filayen cikin duwatsu tare da sarakunansu duka. Bai bar wani da rai ba, ya kashe duk wani mai numfashi, yadda Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ilawa ya umarta.
So Joshua overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.
41 Yoshuwa ya ci su da yaƙi daga Kadesh Barneya zuwa Gaza, da kuma daga dukan yankin Goshen zuwa Gibeyon.
Joshua overcame them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
42 Yoshuwa kuwa ya cinye sarakunan nan duka da ƙasashensu gaba ɗaya gama Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ne ya yi yaƙi domin Isra’ilawa.
And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.
43 Yoshuwa kuwa ya dawo da dukan Isra’ilawa zuwa sansani a Gilgal.
Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal.
