Yoshuwa 2
1 Sai Yoshuwa ɗan Nun ya aika’yan leƙen asiri guda biyu a ɓoye daga Shittim ya ce, “Ku je ku duba, ku ga yadda wurin yake, musamman Yeriko.” Sai suka je suka shiga gidan wata karuwa mai suna Rahab, suka sauka a can.
And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go, view the land, and Jericho. And they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lay there.
2 Aka gaya wa sarkin Yeriko cewa, “Ji fa, waɗansu Isra’ilawa sun shigo nan da dare don su leƙi asirin ƙasar.”
And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to-night of the children of Israel to search out the land.
3 Saboda haka sai sarki ya aika wannan saƙo zuwa ga Rahab, “Ki fito da mutanen da suka zo suka sauka a gidanki, gama sun zo su leƙi asirin ƙasar ne gaba ɗaya.”
And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, that are entered into thy house; for they are come to search out all the land.
4 Amma matar ta ɓoye mutanen nan biyu. Ta ce, “I, mutanen sun zo wurina, amma ban san daga ina suka zo ba,
And the woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yea, the men came unto me, but I knew not whence they were:
5 da yamma kuwa, kafin a rufe ƙofar gari sai mutanen suka tafi. Ban san hanyar da suka bi ba, ku yi sauri ku bi su. Mai yiwuwa ku same su.”
and it came to pass about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; whither the men went I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye will overtake them.
6 (Amma ta kai su saman rufin ɗaki ta ɓoye su a ƙarƙashin karan rama da ta baza a rufin ɗaki.)
But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
7 Sai mutanen garin suka kama hanyar Urdun don su nemi’yan leƙen asirin, daga fitar su sai aka rufe ƙofar garin.
And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they that pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
8 Kafin’yan leƙen asirin su kwanta, sai ta tafi wurinsu a bisa rufin ɗakin
And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
9 ta ce musu, “Na sani Ubangiji ya riga ya ba ku ƙasan nan, tsoronku kuma ya kama mu har zukatan mazaunan ƙasar duka sun narke saboda ku.
and she said unto the men, I know that Jehovah hath given you the land, and that the fear of you is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
10 Mun ji yadda Ubangiji ya busar da ruwan Jan Teku domin ku lokacin da kuka fito daga ƙasar Masar, da kuma abin da kuka yi wa Sihon da Og, sarakunan nan biyu na Amoriyawa gabas da Urdun, waɗanda kuka hallaka su sarai.
For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond the Jordan, unto Sihon and to Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
11 Da muka ji labarin, duk sai zuciyar kowa ta narke, kowa ya karaya saboda ku, gama Ubangiji Allahnku shi ne Allah na sama da ƙasa.
And as soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Jehovah your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.
12 Yanzu ina roƙonku ku rantse mini da Ubangiji cewa za ku yi wa iyalina alheri kamar yadda na yi muku alheri. Ku ba ni ƙwaƙƙwarar shaida cewa
Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a true token;
13 za ku ceci rayukan mahaifina da mahaifiyata, da’yan’uwana maza da mata, da duk waɗanda suke nasu, za ku cece mu daga mutuwa.”
and that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death.
14 Mutanen suka tabbatar mata suka ce, “Ranmu a bakin ranki! In ba ki faɗa wa kowa abin da ya kawo mu ba, za mu yi miki alheri da aminci lokacin da Ubangiji ya ba mu ƙasar.”
And the men said unto her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business; and it shall be, when Jehovah giveth us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
15 Sai ta zura igiya ta taga suka bi, domin gidan da take yana haɗe da katangar birnin.
Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the side of the wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
16 Ta ce musu, “Ku tafi cikin tuddan ƙasar don kada mutanen sarki su same ku. Ku ɓuya a can na kwana uku, har sai masu nemanku su komo, sa’an nan ku kama hanyarku.”
And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light upon you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
17 Mutanen suka ce mata, “Rantsuwar da kika sa muka yi, ba za tă yi amfani ba
And the men said unto her, We will be guiltless of this thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
18 sai in kin ɗaura jan ƙyalle a tagar da kika zura mu, kuma sai in kin kawo mahaifinki da mahaifiyarki, da’yan’uwanki, da dukan iyalinki cikin gidanki.
Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt gather unto thee into the house thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father’s household.
19 In wani ya fita kan hanya, alhakin jininsa yă kasance a kansa; ba ruwanmu. Amma in aka taɓa wani da yake cikin gidanki tare da ke, alhakin jininsa yana kanmu.
And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
20 In kika tone mana asiri, za mu karya alkawarin da kika sa muka yi.”
But if thou utter this our business, then we shall be guiltless of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
21 Ta ce, “Na yarda! Bari yă zama yadda kuka ce.” Sai ta sallame su suka tafi. Ta kuwa ɗaura jan ƙyalle a tagar.
And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
22 Sai suka tafi, suka shiga cikin tuddai, suka yi zamansu a can kwana uku har masu nemansu suka koma, gama masu nemansu suka yi ta nema ko’ina a hanyar, amma ba su sami kowa ba.
And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
23 Sa’an nan mutanen nan biyu,’yan leƙen asiri suka sauka daga tuddai suka haye kogi zuwa wurin Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, suka gaya masa duk abin da ya faru da su.
Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.
24 Suka ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ba shakka Ubangiji ya ba mu ƙasan nan duka, tana hannunmu, mutane can duk sun narke da tsoro saboda mu.”
And they said unto Joshua, Truly Jehovah hath delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us.
