Yoshuwa 22
1 Yoshuwa ya kira mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad, da rabin kabilar Manasse
At that time Joshua called the Reubenites, 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.
He said to them, “You have done everything that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you. You have obeyed 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.
You have not deserted your brothers these many days, down to this present day, and you have fulfilled the duties required by the commandments of Yahweh 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.
Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, just as he promised them. Therefore turn and go to your tents in the land you own, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you on the other side of 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.”
Just be very careful to observe the commandments and the law that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, and to cling to him and worship 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 back to 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 one-half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given an inheritance in Bashan, but to the other half Joshua gave an inheritance beside their brothers in the land west of the Jordan. Joshua sent them away to 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 said to them, “Return to your tents with much money, and with very much livestock, and with silver and gold, and with bronze and iron, and with very many garments. Divide the plunder from your enemies with your brothers.”
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.
So the descendants of Reuben, the descendants of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh returned home, leaving the people of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan. They left to go to the region of Gilead, to their own land, which they themselves possessed, in obedience to the commandment of Yahweh, 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.
When they came to the Jordan that is in the land of Canaan, the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half tribe of Manasseh built an altar beside the Jordan, a very large and prominent altar.
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,
The people of Israel heard about this and said, “Look! The people of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar at the front of the land of Canaan, at Geliloth, in the region near the Jordan, on the side that belongs to the people of Israel.”
12 sai dukan Isra’ilawa suka taru a Shilo don su je su yaƙe su.
When the people of Israel heard of it, the whole assembly of the people of Israel gathered together at Shiloh to go up to make war against them.
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.
Then the people of Israel sent messengers to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead. They also sent Phinehas 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 leaders, one from each of the tribal families of Israel, and every one of them was the head of a family among the clan of Israel.
15 Sa’ad da suka je Gileyad, wurin mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad da kuma rabin mutanen kabilar Manasse, sai suka ce musu,
They came to the people of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they spoke to them:
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?
“The whole assembly of Yahweh says this, 'What is this unfaithfulness that you have committed against the God of Israel, by turning this day from following Yahweh by building yourself an altar this day in rebellion against Yahweh?
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!
Was our sin at Peor not enough for us? Yet we have not even now cleansed ourselves from it. For that sin there came a plague on the assembly of Yahweh.
18 Yanzu za ku daina bin Ubangiji ne? “In kuka yi wa Ubangiji tawaye yau, gobe zai yi fushi da dukan mutanen Isra’ila.
Must you also turn away from following Yahweh at this present day? If you also rebel against Yahweh today, tomorrow he will be angry with the whole assembly 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.
If the land that you possess is defiled, then you should pass over into the land where Yahweh's tabernacle stands and take for yourselves a possession among us. Only do not rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us by building an altar for yourselves other than the altar of Yahweh 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 son of Zerah break faith in the matter of those things that had been reserved for God? Did not wrath fall on all the people of Israel? That man did not perish alone for 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 tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh replied in answer to the heads of the clans 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.
“The Mighty One, God, Yahweh! The Mighty One, God, Yahweh!—He knows, and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in breach of faith against Yahweh, do not spare us on 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.
for having built an altar to turn ourselves away from following Yahweh. If we built that altar in order to offer on it burnt offerings, grain offerings, or peace offerings, then let Yahweh make us pay for 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?
No! We did it for fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, 'What have you to do with Yahweh, 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 Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you. You people of Reuben and people of Gad, you have nothing to do with Yahweh.' So your children might make our children cease to worship Yahweh.
26 “Shi ya sa muka ce, ‘Bari mu yi shiri mu gina bagade, amma ba na ƙona hadayu ko na sadaka ba.’
So we said, 'Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offerings nor for any sacrifices,
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 to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we will perform the service of Yahweh before him, with our burnt offerings and with our sacrifices and with our peace offerings, so that your children will never say to our children in time to come, “You have no share in Yahweh.”'
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.’
So we said, 'If this should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we would say, “Look! This is a copy of the altar of Yahweh, which our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices, but as 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.”
May it be far from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and today turn away from following him by building an altar for burnt offering, for grain offering, or for sacrifice, other than the altar of Yahweh 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.
When Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the people, that is, the heads of the clans of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh said, that it was good in their eyes.
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.”
Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the people of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is among us, because you have not committed this breach of faith against him. Now you have rescued the people of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.”
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.
Then Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and the leaders returned from the Reubenites and the Gadites, out of the land of Gilead, back to the land of Canaan, to the people of Israel, and brought back word to them.
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.
Their report was good in the eyes of the people of Israel. The people of Israel blessed God and spoke no more about making war against the Reubenites and the Gadites, in order to destroy the land where they had settled.
34 Sai mutanen Ruben da mutanen Gad suka ba wa wannan bagaden sunan, Shaida Tsakaninmu, cewa Ubangiji Allah ne.
The Reubenites and the Gadites named the altar “Witness,” for they said, “It is a witness between us that Yahweh is God.”
