Yoshuwa 23
1 An daɗe bayan da Ubangiji ya ba Isra’ilawa hutu daga dukan abokan gāban da suke kewaye da su. Yoshuwa kuwa ya tsufa, shekarunsa sun yi yawa,
And a long season after that the Lord had giuen rest vnto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Ioshua was olde, and stricken in age,
2 sai ya aika a kira Isra’ilawa duka, dattawansu, shugabanninsu, alƙalansu, da manyan ma’aikatansu, ya ce musu, “Na tsufa, shekaruna kuwa sun yi yawa,
Then Ioshua called all Israel, and their Elders, and their heads, and their iudges, and their officers, and said vnto them, I am old, and stricken in age.
3 ku kanku kun ga dukan abubuwan da Ubangiji Allahnku ya yi da idanunku wa dukan ƙasashen nan, Ubangiji Allahnku shi ne wanda ya yi yaƙi dominku.
Also ye haue seene all that the Lord your God hath done vnto al these nations before you, howe the Lord your God him selfe hath fought for you.
4 Ku tuna yadda na rarraba wa kabilanku ƙasashen nan su zama naku na gādo, dukan ƙasashen da suka rage, ƙasashen da na ci da yaƙi, tsakanin Urdun da Bahar Rum a yamma.
Beholde, I haue deuided vnto you by lot these nations that remaine, to be an inheritance according to your tribes, from Iorden, with all the nations that I haue destroyed, euen vnto the great Sea Westward.
5 Ubangiji Allahnku kansa zai kore su a madadinku. Zai fafare su a gabanku, za ku kuwa mallaki ƙasarsu, yadda Ubangiji Allah ya yi muku alkawari.
And the Lord your God shall expell them before you, and cast them out of your sight, and ye shall possesse their land, as the Lord your God hath said vnto you.
6 “Ku yi ƙarfin hali, ku yi hankali, ku yi biyayya da dukan abin da aka rubuta a cikin Littafin Dokoki na Musa, ba tare da kun juya hagu ko dama ba.
Be ye therefore of a valiant courage, to obserue and doe all that is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, that ye turne not therefrom to the right hand nor to the left,
7 Kada ku haɗa kai da mutanen nan da suke zama cikinku; ba ruwanku da sunayen allolinsu, kada ku rantse da su. Kada kuwa ku bauta musu ko kuwa ku rusuna musu.
Neither companie with these nations: that is, with them which are left with you, neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to sweare by them, neither serue them nor bowe vnto them:
8 Sai dai ku riƙe Ubangiji Allahnku da kyau, yadda kuka yi har zuwa yanzu.
But sticke fast vnto the Lord your God, as ye haue done vnto this day.
9 “Ubangiji ya kori manyan ƙasashe masu ƙarfi; har wa yau ba wanda ya iya cin ku da yaƙi.
For ye Lord hath cast out before you great nations and mightie, and no man hath stand before your face hitherto.
10 Mutum ɗaya a cikinku ya isa yă sa mutane dubu nasu su gudu, domin Ubangiji Allahnku yana yaƙi dominku, kamar yadda ya yi alkawari.
One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, he fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
11 Saboda haka sai ku kula da kanku sosai, ku ƙaunaci Ubangiji Allahnku.
Take good heede therefore vnto your selues, that ye loue the Lord your God.
12 “Amma in kuka juya baya kuka zama abokai ga waɗanda suka ragu suke zama a cikinku a ƙasashen nan, har kuka yi auratayya da su, kuka haɗa kai da su,
Els, if ye goe backe, and cleaue vnto the rest of these nations: that is, of them that remaine with you, and shall make marriages with them, and goe vnto them, and they to you,
13 ku tabbata cewa Ubangiji Allahnku ba zai kore muku mutanen ƙasashen nan ba, sai ma su zama muku dutsen tuntuɓe da tarko, za su zama bulala a bayanku, ƙayayyuwa a idanunku, har sai kun hallaka daga wannan ƙasa mai kyau wadda Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba ku.
Knowe ye for certaine, that the Lord your God will cast out no more of these nations from before you: but they shall be a snare and destruction vnto you, and a whip on your sides, and thornes in your eyes, vntill ye perish out of this good land, which ye Lord your God hath giue you.
14 “Yanzu na kusa barin fuskar duniyan nan. Kun sani da dukan zuciyarku, da dukan ranku cewa, Ba ko ɗaya daga cikin alkawuran da Ubangiji Allahnku ya yi, da bai cika ba. Kowane alkawari ya cika; ba ko ɗaya da bai cika ba.
And beholde, this day do I enter into the way of all ye world, and ye know in al your heartes and in all your soules, that nothing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God promised you, but all are come to passe vnto you: nothing hath failed thereof.
15 Kamar yadda Ubangiji Allahnku kuwa ya cika kowane alkawari mai kyau, haka ma ba zai fasa kawo muku bala’in da ya faɗi ba, sai ya hallaka ku daga wannan ƙasa mai kyau da ya ba ku.
Therefore as all good things are come vpon you, which the Lord your God promised you, so shall the Lord bring vpon you euery euill thing, vntill he haue destroyed you out of this good land, which ye Lord your God hath giue you.
16 In kuka karya alkawarin Ubangiji Allahnku wanda ya umarce ku, in kuka je kuka bauta wa waɗansu alloli, kuka rusuna musu, fushin Ubangiji zai sauko a kanku, za ku kuwa hallaka da sauri daga ƙasan nan mai kyau da ya ba ku.”
When ye shall transgresse the couenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and shall goe and serue other gods, and bowe your selues to them, then shall the wrath of the Lord waxe hote against you, and ye shall perish quickely out of the good lande which he hath giuen you.
