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.
Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, learned that Joshua had captured Ai and destroyed the town completely, as he had also done to Jericho, and had killed its king, just as he had the king of Jericho. He also heard that the Gibeonites had made peace with the Israelites and were allied with 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.
The people of Jerusalem were very frightened by this because Gibeon was a large town—as large as any town ruled by the king, and larger than Ai, and its men were tough fighters.
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 a message to Hoham, king of Hebron, Piram, king of Jarmuth, Japhia, king of Lachish, and 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 and help me attack Gibeon because they have made peace with Joshua and the Israelites.”
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 these five Amorite kings (the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon) and their armies gathered and set off. They surrounded Gibeon and then began their attack.
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.”
The Gibeonites sent a message to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, “Please don't abandon us, your servants! Come quickly and save us! We need your help for all the Amorite kings of the hill country have joined in attacking us.”
7 Saboda haka Yoshuwa ya tashi da rundunarsa duka, tare da dukan jarumawansa.
So Joshua, all his fighting men and best fighters, set off from Gilgal.
8 Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Kada ka ji tsoronsu; na ba ka su a hannunka. Ba waninsu da zai iya tsayayya da kai.”
The Lord had said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid of them, for you will defeat them. Not a single one will be able to stand against you.”
9 Bayan sun yi tafiya dukan dare daga Gilgal, Yoshuwa ya auko musu ba labari.
By marching all night from Gilgal, Joshua arrived without warning.
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.
The Lord threw the Amorite armies into a panic when they saw the Israelites. He struck them down with a great blow at Gibeon; he chased them all the way up to Beth-horon, cutting them down on the way 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.
As they ran away from the Israelites down the slope from Beth-horon, the Lord hurled large hailstones down on them from the skies all the way to Azekah. More were killed by the hailstones than we killed by the swords of the Israelites.
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.”
On the day that the Lord handed the Amorites over to the Israelites, Joshua spoke by the Lord in the presence of the Israelites, saying, “Sun, stand still over Gibeon! Moon, stand still over 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.
The sun stopped moving, and the moon stood still, until the nation of Israel had inflicted defeat on their enemies. (This is recorded in the Book of Jashar). The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and did not go down for around a full 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.
There wasn't a day like this ever before or since when the Lord listened to a human voice in such a way. It was because the Lord was fighting for Israel.
15 Sai Yoshuwa ya koma sansanin Gilgal tare da dukan Isra’ilawa.
Then Joshua and all the army returned to the camp at Gilgal.
16 Sarakunan guda biyar suka gudu, suka ɓuya a cikin kogo a Makkeda.
The five kings had run away and hid in a cave at Makkedah.
17 Lokacin da aka gaya wa Yoshuwa cewa an sami sarakunan nan biyar a ɓoye a cikin kogo a Makkeda.
When Joshua was told that the five kings were hiding in a cave at Makkedah,
18 Sai ya ce, “Ku mirgina manyan duwatsu ku rufe bakin kogon, sai ku sa waɗannan mutane su yi tsaron kogon.
he gave this order, “Roll some large stones to block the entrance to the cave and have some men guard 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 don't you stay there. Chase the enemy down and attack them from the rear. Don't let them escape to their towns for the Lord has given them to you to defeat.”
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.
So Joshua and the Israelites totally defeated them, striking them down and killing them. Only a few of them survived to escape back to their 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.
The army returned to Joshua at the camp at Makkedah, and no one dared even to threaten the Israelites.
22 Yoshuwa ya ce, “Ku buɗe bakin kogon ku kawo mini sarakunan nan guda biyar.”
Then Joshua said, “Open the cave entrance and bring out the five kings to me from the cave.”
23 Sai suka kawo sarakunan biyar daga cikin kogo; sarakunan Urushalima, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakish da Eglon.
So they did, bringing out the five kings from the cave—the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and 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.
When they had brought the kings to Joshua, he summoned all the fighting men, and said to the commanders who had gone with him, “Come here, and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So they came over 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.”
Joshua said to them, “Don't ever be afraid or discouraged! Be strong and be brave! For the Lord is going to do the same thing to all your enemies that you're going to fight!”
26 Sai Yoshuwa ya karkashe waɗannan sarakuna guda biyar, ya kuma rataye kowannensu a bisa itace inda jikunansu suka kasance har yamma.
Then Joshua killed the kings and hung their bodies on five trees and left them hanging there until the 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.
As the sun went down Joshua gave the order to take their bodies down from the trees and throw them into the cave where they had been hiding. Then the Israelites piled up stones over the entrance to the cave, and they are there to this very 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 captured Makkedah, killing all its inhabitants, including the king. He set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He killed the king of Makkedah just as he had killed the king of Jericho.
29 Sai Yoshuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka tashi daga Makkeda zuwa Libna, suka kai mata hari.
Then Joshua and the Israelite army left Makkedah and went to attack Libnah,
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 the Lord gave the town and its king to the Israelites. Joshua had everyone in it killed, leaving no survivors. He killed its king just as he had killed 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 the Israelite army moved on from Libnah to Lachish, surrounding the town and attacking 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.
The Lord gave the town to the Israelites who captured it on the second day. Joshua had everyone in it killed, just as he had done in 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 with his army to help Lachish, but Joshua and his men killed them, leaving no survivors.
34 Yoshuwa kuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka tashi daga Lakish zuwa Eglon; suka yi shiri suka kai mata hari.
Joshua and the Israelite army moved on from Lachish to Eglon, surrounding the town and attacking 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.
They captured it the same day. Joshua had everyone in it killed that very day. He set it apart and completely destroyed it, just as he had done in Lachish.
36 Sai Yoshuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka tashi daga Eglon zuwa Hebron suka kai hari a can.
Joshua and the Israelite army left Eglon and went to attack Hebron.
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.
They captured the town, as well as the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Eglon, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it.
38 Yoshuwa da Isra’ilawa duka suka juya suka kai wa Debir hari,
Then Joshua and the Israelite army turned and went to attack 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.
He captured it and its king and all the towns nearby. Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. Just as he had done in Hebron, he set it apart and completely destroyed it and everyone in it. He killed the king of Debir just as he had killed the king of Libnah.
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 conquered the whole land—the hill country, the Negev, the foothills, and the slopes—and all their kings. He didn't leave a single survivor. He killed everyone as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.
41 Yoshuwa ya ci su da yaƙi daga Kadesh Barneya zuwa Gaza, da kuma daga dukan yankin Goshen zuwa Gibeyon.
Joshua destroyed them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza and the whole of the land from Goshen to 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.
All the kings and their lands were conquered by Joshua in one campaign because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for the Israelites.
43 Yoshuwa kuwa ya dawo da dukan Isra’ilawa zuwa sansani a Gilgal.
Joshua and the Israelite army then returned to the camp at Gilgal.
