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 cometh to pass, many days after that Jehovah hath given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, 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 calleth for all Israel, for its elders, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its authorities, and saith unto 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 ye — ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to all these nations because of you, for Jehovah your God [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 to fall to you these nations who are left for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan, (and all the nations which I cut off), and the great sea, the going in of the 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 to Jehovah your God, He doth thrust them from your presence, and hath dispossessed them from before you, and ye have possessed their land, as Jehovah your God hath 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 ye have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Book 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 of the name of their gods ye do not make mention, nor do ye swear, nor do ye serve them, nor do ye bow yourselves to them;
8 Sai dai ku riƙe Ubangiji Allahnku da kyau, yadda kuka yi har zuwa yanzu.
but to Jehovah your God ye do cleave, as ye have done till this day.
9 “Ubangiji ya kori manyan ƙasashe masu ƙarfi; har wa yau ba wanda ya iya cin ku da yaƙi.
And Jehovah is dispossessing from before you nations great and mighty; as for you, none hath stood in your presence till 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 doth pursue a thousand, for Jehovah your God [is] He who is fighting for you, as He hath spoken to you;
11 Saboda haka sai ku kula da kanku sosai, ku ƙaunaci Ubangiji Allahnku.
and ye have been very watchful for yourselves to love Jehovah 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,
'But — if ye at all turn back 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.
know certainly that Jehovah your God is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a gin, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, till ye perish from off this good ground which Jehovah your God hath 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 lo, I am going, to-day, in the way of all the earth, and ye have known — with all your heart, and with all your soul — that there hath not fallen one thing of all the good things which Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there hath 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 hath been, as there hath come upon you all the good thing which Jehovah your God hath spoken unto you, so doth Jehovah bring upon you the whole of the evil thing, till His destroying you from off this good ground which Jehovah your God hath 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 Jehovah your God which He commanded you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then hath the anger of Jehovah burned against you, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which He hath given to you.'
