< Yoshuwa 11 >
1 Sa’ad da Yabin sarkin Hazor ya ji wannan, sai ya aika saƙo zuwa wurin Yobab sarkin Madon, da sarkin Shimron, da Akshaf,
Now Jabin, king of Hazor, hearing of these things, sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 ya kuma aika zuwa ga sarakunan arewa waɗanda suke kan tuddai da kuma waɗanda suke cikin Araba a kudancin Kinneret da cikin filayen kwari, da cikin Nafot Dor a yamma;
And to the kings on the north in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the highlands of Dor on the west,
3 ya kuma aika zuwa ga Kan’aniyawa a gabas da yamma; da kuma zuwa ga Amoriyawa, Hittiyawa da Ferizziyawa, da Yebusiyawa da suke kan tuddai; da kuma Hiwiyawa masu zama a gindin dutsen Hermon a yankin Mizfa.
And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill-country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
4 Suka fito da dukan rundunansu da keken yaƙi masu yawan gaske, babbar runduna, yawansu ya yi kamar yashin bakin teku.
And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a great people, in number like the sand on the seaside, with horses and war-carriages in great number.
5 Duk sarakunan nan suka haɗa mayaƙansu tare, suka kafa sansani a bakin Ruwayen Meron don su yi yaƙi da Isra’ilawa.
And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel.
6 Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Kada ka ji tsoronsu, domin war haka gobe zan ba da dukansu a hannun Isra’ilawa, za su kuwa karkashe su. Za ku gurgunta dawakansu, ku kuma ƙone keken yaƙinsu.”
And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.
7 Sai Yoshuwa da dukan mayaƙan suka auka musu a bakin Ruwayen Meron.
So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them.
8 Ubangiji kuwa ya ba Isra’ilawa nasara a kan su, suka ci su da yaƙi, suka fafare su har zuwa Sidon Babba, zuwa Misrefot Mayim, har zuwa Kwarin Mizfa a gabas, ba wanda suka bari da rai.
And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them driving them back to great Zidon and to Misrephoth-maim and into the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they put them all to death, no man got away safely.
9 Yoshuwa ya yi musu yadda Ubangiji ya umarta, ya gurgunta dawakansu, ya kuma ƙone keken yaƙinsu.
And Joshua did to them as the Lord had said to him; he had the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.
10 A lokacin nan Yoshuwa ya koma da baya ya ci Hazor da yaƙi, ya kuma kashe sarkinta da takobi. (Hazor ce babbar masarautan ƙasashen nan.)
At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms.
11 Suka karkashe duk mazaunan ƙasar da takobi, ba su bar wani mai numfashi ba, suka kuma ƙona Hazor.
And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor.
12 Yoshuwa ya ƙwace masarautun nan duka ya kuma kashe sarakunansu da takobi, ya hallakar da su ƙaƙaf kamar yadda Musa bawan Ubangiji ya umarta.
And all the towns of these kings, and all the kings, Joshua took, and put them to the sword: he gave them up to the curse, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had said.
13 Duk da haka Isra’ilawa ba su ƙone biranen da suke kan tuddai ba, sai Hazor kaɗai Yoshuwa ya ƙone.
As for the towns made on hills of earth, not one was burned by Israel but Hazor, which was burned by Joshua.
14 Isra’ilawa suka kwashi ganima da dabbobi na waɗannan birane, amma suka karkashe mutanen duka da takobi, ba su bar wani mai numfashi ba.
And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living.
15 Yadda Ubangiji ya umarci bawansa Musa, haka Musa ya umarci Yoshuwa, shi kuwa ya yi duk abin da Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
As the Lord had given orders to Moses his servant, so Moses gave orders to Joshua, and so Joshua did; every order which the Lord had given to Moses was done.
16 Saboda haka Yoshuwa ya cinye ƙasar duka da yaƙi, dukan Negeb, duka yankin Goshen, filayen kwari na yamma, Araba da tuddai na Isra’ila da kwarinta.
So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland and the Arabah, the hill-country of Israel and its lowland;
17 Daga Dutsen Halak wanda ya miƙe zuwa wajajen Seyir, zuwa Ba’al-Gad a Kwarin Lebanon ƙasa da Dutsen Hermon. Ya kama sarakunansu ya karkashe su.
From Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he overcame and put to death.
18 Yoshuwa ya daɗe yana yaƙi da dukan waɗannan sarakuna.
For a long time Joshua made war on all those kings.
19 Sai Hiwiyawa kaɗai waɗanda suke zama a Gibeyon, sauran ba ko birni ɗaya da ta yi yarjejjeniya ta salama da Isra’ilawa, Isra’ilawa kuwa suka ci dukansu da yaƙi.
Not one town made peace with the children of Israel, but only the Hivites of Gibeon: they took them all in war.
20 Gama Ubangiji ne ya taurare zukatansu waɗannan sarakuna suka yi yaƙi da Isra’ilawa don yă hallaka su gaba ɗaya, yă gamar da su ba jinƙai, yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa.
For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.
21 A lokacin nan Yoshuwa ya je ya hallaka Anakawa daga ƙasar tudu. Daga Hebron, Debir da Anab. Daga dukan ƙasar tuddai na Yahuda, da kuma dukan ƙasar tudu ta Isra’ila, Yoshuwa ya hallaka su duka da garuruwansu.
And Joshua came at that time and put an end to the Anakim in the hill-country, in Hebron, in Debir, in Anab, and in all the hill-country of Judah and Israel: Joshua gave them and their towns to the curse.
22 Ba a bar waɗansu Anakawa a harabar Isra’ila ba; sai dai a Gaza, Gat da Ashdod ne aka samu waɗanda suka ragu da rai.
Not one of the Anakim was to be seen in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, some were still living.
23 Yoshuwa kuwa ya ƙwace dukan ƙasar yadda Ubangiji ya umarci Musa, ya ba da ita ta zama ƙasar gādo ga Isra’ilawa, kabila-kabila. Ta haka ƙasar ta huta daga yaƙi.
So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
