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 it comes to pass, many days after that YHWH has given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, that Joshua is old, entering into days,
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,
and Joshua calls for all Israel, for his elderly, and for his heads, and for his judges, and for his authorities, and says to them, “I have become old; I have entered into days;
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.
and you have seen all that your God YHWH has done to all these nations because of you, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting 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.
see, I have caused these nations who are left to fall to you for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan (and all the nations which I cut off), and the Great Sea [at] the [setting] sun.
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.
As for your God YHWH, He thrusts them from your presence, and has dispossessed them from before you, and you have possessed their land, as your God YHWH has spoken to 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.
and you have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it right or 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.
so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and you do not make mention of the name of their gods, nor do you swear, nor do you serve them, nor do you bow yourselves to them;
8 Sai dai ku riƙe Ubangiji Allahnku da kyau, yadda kuka yi har zuwa yanzu.
but you cleave to your God YHWH, as you have done until this day.
9 “Ubangiji ya kori manyan ƙasashe masu ƙarfi; har wa yau ba wanda ya iya cin ku da yaƙi.
And YHWH is dispossessing great and mighty nations from before you; as for you, none has stood in your presence until this day;
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 pursues a thousand, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you, as He has spoken to you;
11 Saboda haka sai ku kula da kanku sosai, ku ƙaunaci Ubangiji Allahnku.
and you have been very watchful for yourselves to love your God YHWH.
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,
But—if you turn back at all and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to 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.
certainly know that your God YHWH is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a trap, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to 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 behold, I am going, today, in the way of all the earth, and you have known—with all your heart, and with all your soul—that there has not fallen one thing of all the good things which your God YHWH has spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there has not failed of it one thing.
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.
And it has been, as there has come on you all the good thing which your God YHWH has spoken to you, so YHWH brings on you the whole of the evil thing, until His destroying you from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to 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.”
in your transgressing the covenant of your God YHWH which He commanded you, and you have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then the anger of YHWH has burned against you, and you have perished quickly from off the good land which He has given to you.”
