Yoshuwa 3
1 Kashegari Yoshuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka tashi daga Shittim suka nufi Urdun inda suka sauka kafin su haye.
And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
2 Bayan kwana uku sai shugabannin suka zazzaga sansani, suna
And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
3 ba da umarni ga mutane, suna cewa, “Lokacin da kuka ga akwatin alkawari na Ubangiji Allahnku, da firistoci waɗanda su ne Lawiyawa, suna ɗauke da shi, sai ku tashi daga inda kuke, ku bi shi.
And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of YHWH your Elohim, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
4 A ta haka za ku san inda za ku bi, gama ba ku taɓa bin hanyar ba. Sai dai ku ɗan ba da rata wajen yadi ɗari tara tsakaninku da akwatin alkawari, kada ku kusace shi.”
Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
5 Yoshuwa ya ce wa mutane, “Ku tsarkake kanku, gama gobe Ubangiji zai yi abubuwan al’ajabi a cikinku.”
And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow YHWH will do wonders among you.
6 Yoshuwa ya ce wa firistoci, “Ku ɗauki akwatin alkawari ku sha gaba.” Sai suka ɗauki akwatin alkawari suka wuce gaban sauran jama’a.
And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
7 Ubangiji kuwa ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Yau, zan fara ɗaukaka ka a gaban Isra’ilawa duka don su sani cewa ina tare da kai kamar yadda na kasance tare da Musa.
And YHWH said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
8 Ka ce wa firistoci waɗanda suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawari, ‘Sa’ad da kuka kai bakin Urdun, ku shiga cikin ruwan ku tsaya.’”
And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
9 Yoshuwa ya ce wa Isra’ilawa, “Ku zo nan ku ji maganar Ubangiji Allahnku.
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of YHWH your Elohim.
10 Ta haka ne za ku san cewa Allah mai rai yana tare da ku, kuma ba shakka a gabanku za ku gani zai kore Kan’aniyawa, Hittiyawa, Hiwiyawa, Ferizziyawa, Girgashiyawa, Amoriyawa da Yebusiyawa.
And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living Elohim is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
11 Ku duba, akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji na dukan duniya zai yi gaba cikin Urdun kafin ku.
Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Master of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
12 Yanzu sai ku zaɓi mutum goma sha biyu daga kabilan Isra’ila, ɗaya daga kowace kabila.
Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
13 Kuma da firistoci waɗanda suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, Ubangiji dukan duniya, sun sa ƙafa cikin ruwan kogin Urdun, ruwan da yake gudu a rafin zai tsaya cik yă taru a wuri ɗaya.”
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of YHWH, the Master of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
14 Saboda haka sa’ad da mutanen suka tashi don su ƙetare Urdun, firistocin da suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin suka sha gaba.
And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
15 Da kaka Urdun yakan cika makil da ruwa. Duk da haka da zarar firistoci masu ɗauke da akwatin alkawari suka tsoma ƙafafunsu a gefen ruwa,
And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest, )
16 sai ruwan da yake gangarowa ya tsaya, ya tattaru a wuri ɗaya ya yi tudu daga nan har zuwa wani garin da ake kira Adam kusa da Zaretan, ruwan da yake gangarowa zuwa Tekun Araba (Tekun Gishiri) kuma ya yanke gaba ɗaya. Sai mutane suka ƙetare kusa da Yeriko.
That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
17 Firistocin kuwa da suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji suka tsaya daram a kan busasshiyar ƙasa a tsakiyar Urdun a lokacin da Isra’ilawa suka ƙetarewa, har sai da dukan mutane suka gama ƙetarewa.
And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of YHWH stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
