Yoshuwa 22
1 Yoshuwa ya kira mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad, da rabin kabilar Manasse
Then 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.
and said to them, “You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to 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 left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment 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, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh 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 Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to 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 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 the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but Joshua gave to the other half among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when 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 spoke to them, saying, “Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the plunder of 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.
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 to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of Yahweh by 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 region near 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 an altar there by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.
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 children of Israel heard this, “Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar along the border of the land of Canaan, in the region around the Jordan, on the side that belongs to the children of Israel.”
12 sai dukan Isra’ilawa suka taru a Shilo don su je su yaƙe su.
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.
The children of Israel sent to 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.
With him were ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were each 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,
They came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to 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?
“The whole congregation of Yahweh says, ‘What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away today from following Yahweh, in that you have built yourselves an altar, to rebel today 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!
Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation 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.
that you must turn away today from following Yahweh? It will be, since you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow he will be angry 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.
However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of Yahweh, in which Yahweh’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but don’t rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than Yahweh our God’s altar.
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.”
Didn’t Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man didn’t perish 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 to 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.
“The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yahweh (don’t save us today),
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 Yahweh; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let Yahweh 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?
“If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, ‘In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, “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 children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no portion in Yahweh.”’ So your children might make our children cease from fearing Yahweh.
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’s now prepare to build ourselves 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 will be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of Yahweh before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;’ that your children may not tell our children in time to come, ‘You have no portion 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.’
“Therefore we said, ‘It shall be, when they tell us or our generations this in time to come, that we shall say, “Behold the pattern of Yahweh’s altar, 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 Yahweh, and turn away today from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides Yahweh our God’s altar 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 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.”
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is among us, because you have not committed this trespass against Yahweh. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of Yahweh’s hand.”
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.
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, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
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.
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 in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad lived.
34 Sai mutanen Ruben da mutanen Gad suka ba wa wannan bagaden sunan, Shaida Tsakaninmu, cewa Ubangiji Allah ne.
The children of Reuben and the children of Gad named the altar “A Witness Between Us that Yahweh is God.”
