Yoshuwa 24
1 Yoshuwa ya tattara dukan kabilan Isra’ila a Shekem. Ya aika a kira dattawa, shugabanni, alƙalai da manyan ma’aikatan Isra’ila, suka kai kansu gaban Allah.
And Joshua gathers all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and calls for [the] elderly of Israel, and for his heads, and for his judges, and for his authorities, and they station themselves before God.
2 Yoshuwa ya ce wa dukan mutanen, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ‘Dā can, kakanninku, Tera mahaifin Ibrahim, da Nahor sun zauna a hayin Kogin Yuferites suka yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada.
And Joshua says to all the people, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Beyond the River your fathers have dwelt of old—Terah father of Abraham and father of Nachor—and they serve other gods;
3 Amma na ɗauki mahaifinku Ibrahim, daga ƙasar da take can a hayin Kogin Yuferites, na kawo shi ƙasar Kan’ana, na kuma ba shi’ya’ya masu yawa. Na ba shi Ishaku,
and I take your father Abraham from beyond the River, and cause him to go through all the land of Canaan, and multiply his seed, and give Isaac to him.
4 ga Ishaku kuwa na ba shi Yaƙub da Isuwa. Na ba Isuwa ƙasar kan tudu ta Seyir, amma Yaƙub da’ya’yansa maza suka gangara zuwa Masar.
And I give Jacob and Esau to Isaac; and I give Mount Seir to Esau, to possess it; and Jacob and his sons have gone down to Egypt.
5 “‘Sai na aiki Musa da Haruna, na aukar wa Masarawa annobai, ta wurin abin da na yi ne na fitar da ku.
And I send Moses and Aaron, and plague Egypt, as I have done in its midst, and afterward I have brought you out.
6 Lokacin da na fitar da iyayenku daga Masar, suka zo teku, sai Masarawa suka fafare su da kekunan yaƙi da dawakai har zuwa Jan Teku.
And I bring out your fathers from Egypt, and you go to the sea, and the Egyptians pursue after your fathers, with chariot and with horsemen, to the Red Sea;
7 Amma suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji don taimako, ya kuwa sa duhu ya raba tsakaninsu da Masarawa; ya sa teku ya rufe Masarawa. Kun gani da idanunku abin da na yi wa Masarawa, sa’an nan kuka zauna a jeji na tsawon lokaci.
and they cry to YHWH, and He sets thick darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brings the sea over him, and covers them, and your eyes see that which I have done in Egypt; and you dwell in a wilderness [for] many days.
8 “‘Na kawo ku ƙasar Amoriyawa waɗanda suke gabas da Urdun. Suka yi yaƙi da ku, amma na ba da su a hannunku, na hallaka su a gabanku, kuka kuma mallaki ƙasarsu.
And I bring you into the land of the Amorite who is dwelling beyond the Jordan, and they fight with you, and I give them into your hand, and you possess their land, and I destroy them out of your presence.
9 Lokacin da Balak ɗan Ziffor, sarkin Mowab, ya yi shiri yă yaƙi Isra’ila, ya aiki Bala’am ɗan Beyor don yă la’anta ku.
And Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, rises and fights against Israel, and sends and calls for Balaam son of Beor, to revile you,
10 Amma ban saurari Bala’am ba, saboda haka sai ya ma sa muku albarka, na kuɓutar da ku daga hannunsa.
and I have not been willing to listen to Balaam, and he greatly blesses you, and I deliver you out of his hand.
11 “‘Sai kuka ƙetare Urdun kuka isa Yeriko. Mutanen Yeriko suka yi faɗa da ku, kamar yadda Amoriyawa, Ferizziyawa, Kan’aniyawa, Hittiyawa, Girgashiyawa, Hiwiyawa, da Yebusiyawa suka yi, amma na ba da su a hannunku.
And you pass over the Jordan, and come to Jericho, and the possessors of Jericho fight against you—the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—and I give them into your hand.
12 Na aika rina ta kore su a idonku, haka kuma sarakunan Amoriyawan nan. Ba da takobinku ko bakanku ne kuka yi haka ba.
And I send the hornet before you, and it casts them out from your presence—two kings of the Amorite—not by your sword, nor by your bow.
13 Na ba ku ƙasar da ba ku yi wata wahala kafin ku samu ba, na ba ku kuma biranen da ba ku gina ba; kuka kuma zauna a cikinsu, kuka ci daga’ya’yan itacensu da’ya’yan zaitun da ba ku ne kuka shuka ba.’
And I give a land to you for which you have not labored, and cities which you have not built, and you dwell in them; you are eating of vineyards and olive-yards which you have not planted.
14 “Yanzu, sai ku ji tsoron Ubangiji, ku bauta masa da dukan aminci. Ku zubar da allolin da kakanninku suka yi musu sujada a hayin Kogin Yuferites da kuma a Masar, ku bauta wa Ubangiji.
And now, fear YHWH, and serve Him, in perfection and in truth, and turn aside the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve YHWH;
15 Amma in kuka ga ba za ku iya bauta wa Ubangiji ba, sai ku zaɓa yau wanda za ku bauta masa, ko allolin da kakanninku suka bauta musu a hayin Kogin Yuferites, ko kuma allolin Amoriyawa, waɗanda kuke zama a cikin ƙasarsu. Amma da ni da gidana, Ubangiji ne za mu bauta wa.”
and if [it is] wrong in your eyes to serve YHWH—choose for yourselves today whom you serve—whether the gods whom your fathers served, which [are] beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorite in whose land you are dwelling; but me and my house—we serve YHWH.”
16 Sai mutanen suka amsa suka ce, “Allah ya kiyashe mu da rabuwa da Ubangiji Allahnmu, har a ce mu bauta wa waɗansu alloli!
And the people answer and say, “Far be it from us to forsake YHWH, to serve other gods;
17 Ubangiji Allahnmu ne da kansa ya fitar da iyayenmu daga Masar, daga ƙasar bauta, ya yi manyan abubuwan al’ajabi, a idanunmu. Ya kiyaye mu cikin dukan hanyar da muka bi, da cikin ƙasashen da muka ratsa;
for our God YHWH [is] He who is bringing us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants, and who has done these great signs before our eyes, and keeps us in all the way in which we have gone, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed;
18 Ubangiji kuwa ya kore mana dukan Amoriyawa, waɗanda suke zaune a ƙasar. Don haka mu ma za mu bauta wa Ubangiji, gama shi ne Allahnmu.”
and YHWH casts out the whole of the peoples, even the Amorite inhabiting the land, from our presence; we also serve YHWH, for He [is] our God.”
19 Yoshuwa ya ce wa mutanen, “Ba za ku iya bauta wa Ubangiji ba gama shi Allah mai tsarki ne; mai kishi kuma. Ba zai gafarta muku zunubin tawaye ba.
And Joshua says to the people, “You are not able to serve YHWH, for He [is] a most holy God; He [is] a zealous God; He does not bear with your transgression and with your sins.
20 In kuka juya wa Ubangiji baya, kuka bauta wa waɗansu alloli, zai juya yă kawo muku bala’i, yă hallaka ku, yă kawo ƙarshenku.”
When you forsake YHWH, and have served gods of a stranger, then He has turned back and done harm to you, and consumed you, after that He has done good to you.”
21 Amma mutanen suka ce wa Yoshuwa, “Mu dai! Za mu bauta wa Ubangiji.”
And the people say to Joshua, “No, but we serve YHWH!”
22 Yoshuwa kuwa ya ce musu, “Ku ne shaidun kanku cewa kun zaɓi ku bauta wa Ubangiji.” Suka amsa suka ce, “I, mu ne shaidun kanmu.”
And Joshua says to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves, that you have chosen YHWH for yourselves, to serve Him,” and they say, “Witnesses!”
23 Yoshuwa ya ce musu, “Yanzu sai ku zubar da allolin da suke cikinku, ku miƙa wa Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila zuciyarku.”
“And now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and incline your heart to YHWH, God of Israel.”
24 Mutanen kuma suka ce, “Za mu bauta wa Ubangiji Allahnmu, mu kuma yi masa biyayya.”
And the people say to Joshua, “We serve our God YHWH, and we listen to His voice.”
25 A wannan rana Yoshuwa ya yi alkawari saboda mutanen, kuma a can Shekem ya tsara musu ƙa’idodi da dokoki.
And Joshua makes a covenant with the people on that day, and lays a statute and an ordinance on it, in Shechem.
26 Yoshuwa kuwa ya rubuta abubuwan nan a cikin Littafin Dokoki na Allah. Sa’an nan ya ɗauki babban dutse ya ajiye a ƙarƙashin itacen oak kusa da tsattsarkan wuri na Ubangiji.
And Joshua writes these words in the Scroll of the Law of God, and takes a great stone, and raises it up there under the oak which [is] in the sanctuary of YHWH.
27 Ya ce wa duka mutanen, “Ku gani! Wannan dutse zai zama mana shaida, ya ji duk maganar da Ubangiji ya yi mana, zai zama muku shaida in ba ku yi wa Allahnku gaskiya ba.”
And Joshua says to all the people, “Behold, this stone is for a witness against us, for it has heard all the sayings of YHWH which He has spoken with us, and it has been for a witness against you, lest you lie against your God.”
28 Sai Yoshuwa ya sallami mutane, kowa ya tafi ƙasar da aka ba shi gādo.
And Joshua sends the people away, each to his inheritance.
29 Bayan waɗannan abubuwa, Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, bawan Ubangiji, ya mutu yana da shekaru ɗari da goma.
And it comes to pass, after these things, that Joshua son of Nun, servant of YHWH, dies, a son of one hundred and ten years,
30 Suka kuma binne shi a ƙasarsa ta gādo, a Timnat Sera a ƙasar kan tudu ta Efraim, arewa da Dutsen Ga’ash.
and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Serah, which [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the hill of Gaash.
31 Isra’ilawa kuwa sun bauta wa Ubangiji dukan kwanakin Yoshuwa, da kuma kwanakin dattawan da ya bari, da waɗanda suka ga duk abin da Ubangiji ya yi wa Isra’ila.
And Israel serves YHWH all [the] days of Joshua, and all [the] days of the elderly who prolonged days after Joshua, and who knew all the work of YHWH which He did to Israel.
32 Aka kuma binne ƙasusuwan Yusuf da aka kawo daga Masar, a Shekem a wurin da Yaƙub ya saya da azurfa ɗari daga’ya’yan Hamor, babban Shekem. Wurin ya zama gādon zuriyar Yusuf.
And the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in the portion of the field which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor father of Shechem, with one hundred kesitah; and they are for an inheritance to the sons of Joseph.
33 Eleyazar ɗan Haruna, ya mutu aka binne shi a Gibeya, wurin da aka ba ɗansa Finehas a ƙasar kan tudu ta Efraim.
And Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they bury him in a hill of his son Phinehas, which was given to him in the hill-country of Ephraim.
