Yoshuwa 4
1 Da al’umma gaba ɗaya suka ƙetare Urdun, Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa,
And it came to pass when the whole nation had completely gone over the Jordan, that Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
2 “Ka zaɓi mutum goma sha biyu daga cikin mutane, ɗaya daga kowace kabila,
Take you twelve men out of the people, one man out of every tribe,
3 ka ce musu kowa yă ɗauki dutse ɗaya daga tsakiyar Urdun daidai inda firistoci suka tsaya, ku kai su, ku ajiye a inda za ku sauka yau.”
and command them, saying, Take up hence out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and carry them over with you, and lay them down in the lodging-place where ye shall lodge this night.
4 Sai Yoshuwa ya kira mutum goma sha biyu da ya zaɓa daga cikin Isra’ilawa, ɗaya daga kowace kabila
And Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had appointed of the children of Israel, a man out of every tribe;
5 ya ce musu, “Ku je tsakiyar Urdun inda akwatin alkawari na Ubangiji Allahnku yake. Kowannenku yă ɗauki dutse ɗaya a kafaɗarsa, bisa ga yawan kabilan Isra’ila,
and Joshua said to them, Pass before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and lift up each of you a stone [and put it] upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel,
6 yă zama muku alama. Nan gaba in yaranku suka tambaye ku suka ce, ‘Mece ce ma’anar kasancewar duwatsun nan a nan?’
that this may be a sign in your midst. When your children ask hereafter, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
7 Sai ku ce musu, ruwan Urdun ya yanke a gaban akwatin alkawari na Ubangiji, a lokacin da akwatin alkawarin ya ƙetare Urdun. Waɗannan duwatsu za su zama abin tuni ga Isra’ilawa har abada.”
then ye shall say to them, That the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it went through the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
8 Isra’ilawa kuwa suka yi yadda Yoshuwa ya umarce su. Suka ɗauki duwatsu guda goma sha biyu bisa ga yawan kabilan Isra’ila, yadda Ubangiji ya gaya wa Yoshuwa; suka tafi da su masauƙinsu, a can suka ajiye su.
And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua had commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them to the lodging-place, and laid them down there.
9 Yoshuwa ya ɗora duwatsu goma sha biyun a tsakiyar Urdun daidai inda firistoci waɗanda suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji suka tsaya. Suna nan a can har wa yau.
And twelve stones did Joshua set up in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant had stood firm; and they are there to this day.
10 Firistocin da suke ɗauke da akwatin alkawari suka tsaya a tsakiyar Urdun, har aka gama dukan abin da Ubangiji ya umarci Yoshuwa yă gaya wa mutane, kamar yadda Musa ya ce Yoshuwa yă yi. Mutanen suka wuce da sauri.
And the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hasted and passed over.
11 Sai da dukan mutanen suka wuce sa’an nan akwatin alkawari da firistoci suka sha gaba.
And it came to pass, when all the people had completely gone over, that the ark of Jehovah went over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
12 Mutanen Ruben, Gad da rabin kabilar Manasse suka ƙetare da shirin yaƙi, suka wuce gaban Isra’ila kamar yadda Musa ya ce su yi.
And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh, went over in array before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.
13 Wajen mutum dubu arba’in shirye domin yaƙi, suka wuce a gaban Ubangiji zuwa filayen Yeriko.
About forty thousand armed for military service passed over before Jehovah to the war, unto the plains of Jericho.
14 A ranan nan Ubangiji ya ɗaukaka Yoshuwa a gaban Isra’ilawa; suka kuma ba shi girma dukan kwanakin ransa, kamar yadda suka girmama Musa.
On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.
15 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa,
And Jehovah spoke to Joshua, saying,
16 “Ka umarci firistocin da suke ɗauke da akwatin Shaida su fito daga cikin Urdun.”
Command the priests who bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.
17 Sai Yoshuwa ya umarci firistoci ya ce, “Ku fito daga cikin Urdun.”
And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, Come up out of the Jordan.
18 Firistocin kuwa suka fito daga kogin ɗauke da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji. Nan da nan da ƙafafunsu suka taɓa busasshiyar ƙasa, sai ruwan Urdun ya gangaro ya cika kogin kamar yadda yake a dā.
And it came to pass when the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah had come up out of the midst of the Jordan, [when] the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up on to the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and they flowed as previously, over all its banks.
19 A rana ta goma ga wata na farko, mutane suka haura daga Urdun suka sauka a Gilgal a gabashin iyakar Yeriko.
And the people came up out of the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the eastern extremity of Jericho.
20 Sai Yoshuwa ya kafa duwatsu goma sha biyun nan da suka ɗauko daga Urdun.
And those twelve stones which they had taken out of the Jordan did Joshua set up in Gilgal.
21 Ya ce wa Isra’ilawa, “Nan gaba in yaranku suka tambayi iyayensu suka ce, ‘Mece ce ma’anar waɗannan duwatsun?’
And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying, When your children hereafter ask their fathers, saying, What [mean] these stones?
22 Ku ce musu, ‘Isra’ilawa sun ƙetare kogin Urdun a kan busasshiyar ƙasa.’
then ye shall let your children know, saying, On dry land did Israel come over this Jordan;
23 Gama Ubangiji Allahnku ya sa ruwan Urdun ya yanke a gabanku, har sai da kuka gama wucewa, kamar yadda ya yi a Jan Teku, a lokacin da ya busar da shi a gabanmu har sai da muka gama wucewa.
because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you, until ye had passed over, as Jehovah your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had passed over;
24 Ya yi wannan ne domin dukan mutanen duniya su san cewa Ubangiji mai iko ne, domin kuma ku zama masu tsoron Ubangiji Allahnku.”
that all peoples of the earth might know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty; that ye might fear Jehovah your God continually.
