Yoshuwa 22

1 Yoshuwa ya kira mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad, da rabin kabilar Manasse

Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

2 ya ce musu, “Kun yi duk abin da Musa bawan Ubangiji ya umarta, kun kuma yi mini biyayya cikin dukan umarnan da na ba ku.

and said unto them: 'Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have hearkened unto my voice in all that I commanded you;

3 Dukan waɗannan yawan kwanaki, har zuwa yau, ba ku yashe’yan’uwanku Isra’ilawa ba, amma kuka kiyaye umarnin da Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba ku.

ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

4 Yanzu da Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba’yan’uwanku hutu kamar yadda ya yi alkawari, sai ku koma gidajenku a ƙasar da Musa bawan Ubangiji ya ba ku a Urdun.

And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as He spoke unto them; therefore now turn ye, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond the Jordan.

5 Amma ku yi hankali, ku kiyaye umarnai da kuma dokokin da Musa bawan Ubangiji ya ba ku. Ku ƙaunaci Ubangiji Allahnku, ku yi tafiya kan hanyarsa, ku yi biyayya da umarnansa, ku riƙe shi sosai, ku bauta masa da dukan zuciyarku da kuma dukan ranku.”

Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments, and to cleave unto Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.'

6 Sai Yoshuwa ya sa musu albarka, ya sallame su, suka kuwa tafi gidajensu.

So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went unto their tents.

7 (Musa ya riga ya ba rabin kabilar Manasse gādo a Bashan; sauran rabin kabilar kuma Yoshuwa ya ba su gādo tare’yan’uwansu a yammacin hayin Urdun.) Sa’ad da Yoshuwa ya sallame su su tafi gida, ya sa musu albarka,

Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but unto the other half gave Joshua among their brethren beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away unto their tents, he blessed them,

8 ya ce, “Ku koma gidajenku tare da dukiya mai yawa, babban garken dabbobi, azurfa da zinariya, tagulla da ƙarfe, da tufafi masu yawa sosai, sai ku raba ganimar da kuka samu daga abokan gābanku, da’yan’uwanku.”

and spoke unto them, saying: 'Return with much wealth unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.'

9 Saboda haka sai mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad da kuma rabin mutanen kabilar Manasse, suka bar Isra’ilawa a Shilo cikin Kan’ana don su koma Gileyad, ƙasarsu, wadda suka samu bisa ga umarnin Ubangiji ta wurin Musa.

And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

10 Da suka kai Gelilot kusa da Urdun cikin ƙasar Kan’ana, sai mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad da kuma rabin mutanen kabilar Manasse suka gina bagade a can, a Urdun.

And when they came unto the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look upon.

11 Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka ji cewa sun gina bagade a iyakar Kan’ana, a Gelilot kusa da Urdun wajen gefensu na Isra’ilawa,

And the children of Israel heard say: 'Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertaineth to the children of Israel.'

12 sai dukan Isra’ilawa suka taru a Shilo don su je su yaƙe su.

And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.

13 Saboda haka sai Isra’ilawa suka aiki Finehas ɗan Eleyazar, firist, zuwa ƙasar Gileyad, wurin mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad da kuma rabin mutanen kabilar Manasse.

And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest;

14 Suka aiki shugabanni guda goma su tafi tare da shi, ɗaya daga kowace kabilar Isra’ila, kowannensu shugaba ne a iyalansa.

and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers' house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were every one of them head of their fathers' houses among the thousands of Israel.

15 Sa’ad da suka je Gileyad, wurin mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad da kuma rabin mutanen kabilar Manasse, sai suka ce musu,

And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying:

16 “Dukan jama’ar Ubangiji sun ce yaya za ku juya wa Allah na Isra’ila baya haka? Yaya za ku daina bin Ubangiji ku gina wa kanku bagade, ku yi masa tawaye yanzu?

'Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD: What treachery is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, to rebel this day against the LORD?

17 Zunubin da Feyor ya yi bai ishe mu ba ne? Ga shi, har yanzu ba mu gama tsarkakewa daga wannan zunubi ba, ko da yake annoba ta auko wa mutanen Ubangiji!

Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves unto this day, although there came a plague upon the congregation of the LORD,

18 Yanzu za ku daina bin Ubangiji ne? “In kuka yi wa Ubangiji tawaye yau, gobe zai yi fushi da dukan mutanen Isra’ila.

that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to-day against the LORD, that to-morrow He will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

19 Idan ƙasar mallakarku ƙazantacciya ce, sai ku haye zuwa ƙasar Ubangiji, inda tabanakul yake, mu zauna tare. Amma kada ku yi wa Ubangiji, ko kuma ku yi mana tawaye ta wurin gina wa kanku bagade wanda ba na Ubangiji Allahnmu ba.

Howbeit, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD'S tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us; but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar besides the altar of the LORD our God.

20 Lokacin da Akan ɗan Zera ya yi rashin aminci game da kayan da aka keɓe, fushinsa Ubangiji bai auko a kan mutanen Isra’ila duka ba? Ai, ba shi kaɗai ya mutu don zunubinsa ba.”

Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass concerning the devoted thing, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.'

21 Sai mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad da kuma rabin mutanen kabilar Manasse suka amsa wa shugabannin iyalan Isra’ila suka ce,

Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke unto the heads of the thousands of Israel:

22 “Maɗaukaki, Allah, Ubangiji! Maɗaukaki, Allah, Ubangiji ya sani! In mun yi wannan cikin tawaye ko rashin biyayya ga Ubangiji ne, kada ku bar mu da rai yau.

'God, God, the LORD, God, God, the LORD, He knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in treachery against the LORD — save Thou us not this day —

23 Idan mun bar bin Ubangiji, muka gina wa kanmu bagade don mu miƙa hadayun ƙonawa, ko kuwa hadayun gari, ko kuwa hadayun salama, to, bari Ubangiji kansa ya sāka mana.

that we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if to offer thereon burnt-offering or meal-offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace-offerings thereon, let the LORD Himself require it;

24 “A’a! Mun yi haka ne don tsoro, kada nan gaba’ya’yanku su ce wa’ya’yanmu, ‘Me ya haɗa ku da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila?

and if we have not rather out of anxiety about a matter done this, saying: In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying: What have ye to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?

25 Ubangiji ya sa Urdun ya zama iyaka tsakaninmu da ku, ku mutanen Ruben da mutanen Gad! Ba ku da rabo cikin Ubangiji.’’Ya’yanku za su iya sa’ya’yanmu su daina tsoron Ubangiji.

for the LORD hath made the Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no portion in the LORD; so might your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

26 “Shi ya sa muka ce, ‘Bari mu yi shiri mu gina bagade, amma ba na ƙona hadayu ko na sadaka ba.’

Therefore we said: Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice;

27 Sai dai yă zama shaida tsakaninmu da ku, da kuma waɗanda za su zo a baya, cewa za mu yi wa Ubangiji sujada a wurinsa mai tsarki, za mu miƙa hadayunmu na ƙonawa, hadayu na zumunta. Sa’an nan, nan gaba’ya’yanku ba za su ce wa’ya’yanmu, ‘Ba ku da rabo a cikin Ubangiji ba.’

but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may do the service of the LORD before Him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come: Ye have no portion in the LORD.

28 “Muka kuma ce, ‘In har suka ce mana, ko’ya’yanmu haka, sai mu amsa mu ce ku dubi bagaden da yake daidai da na Ubangiji wanda iyayenmu suka gina, ba don ƙona hadayu da kuma yin sadaka ba, sai dai don yă zama shaida tsakaninmu da ku.’

Therefore said we: It shall be, when they so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say: Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.

29 “Allah ya sawwaƙa mana mu tayar wa Ubangiji mu bar binsa, har mu gina bagade don miƙa hadayu na ƙonawa, da na gari, da na sadaka, ban da bagaden Ubangiji Allahnmu wanda yake tsaye a gaban tabanakul.”

Far be it from us that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for meal-offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of the LORD our God that is before His tabernacle.'

30 Da Finehas firist, da shugabannin mutanen, shugabannin iyalan Isra’ila, suka ji abin da mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad da kuma rabin mutanen kabilar Manasse suka ce, sai suka ji daɗi.

And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.

31 Sai Finehas ɗan Eleyazar, firist, ya ce wa mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad da kuma rabin mutanen kabilar Manasse, “Yau mun san Ubangiji yana tare da mu, domin ba ku yi wa Ubangiji rashin aminci cikin wannan abu ba. Yanzu kun kuɓutar da Isra’ilawa daga hannun Ubangiji.”

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh: 'This day we know that the LORD is in the midst of us, because ye have not committed this treachery against the LORD; now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.'

32 Sai Finehas ɗan Eleyazar, firist, da shugabannin suka koma Kan’ana daga saduwa da mutanen Ruben da mutanen Gad a Gileyad, suka kai wa Isra’ilawa rahoto.

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them back word.

33 Isra’ilawa suka ji daɗin rahoton da suka ji, suka kuma yi wa Allah yabo. Ba su sāke yin maganar zuwa yaƙi don su rushe ƙasar da mutanen Ruben da mutanen Gad suke ciki ba.

And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt.

34 Sai mutanen Ruben da mutanen Gad suka ba wa wannan bagaden sunan, Shaida Tsakaninmu, cewa Ubangiji Allah ne.

And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar —: 'for it is a witness between us that the LORD is God.'
