Yoshuwa 4
1 Da al’umma gaba ɗaya suka ƙetare Urdun, Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa,
And it came to pass, when all the nation were clean passed over the Jordan, that the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying:
2 “Ka zaɓi mutum goma sha biyu daga cikin mutane, ɗaya daga kowace kabila,
'Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
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 ye them, saying: Take you hence out of the midst of the Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood, twelve stones made ready, 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
Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man;
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 unto them: 'Pass on before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto 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 among you, that when your children ask in time to come, 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 unto them: Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over 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 commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as the LORD spoke unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel; and they carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, 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.
Joshua also set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there unto 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 that bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until every thing was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua; and the people hastened 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 were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed on, and the priests, before 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, passed on armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spoke unto them;
13 Wajen mutum dubu arba’in shirye domin yaƙi, suka wuce a gaban Ubangiji zuwa filayen Yeriko.
about forty thousand ready armed for war passed on in the presence of the LORD unto battle, to 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 the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
15 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa,
And the LORD spoke unto Joshua, saying:
16 “Ka umarci firistocin da suke ɗauke da akwatin Shaida su fito daga cikin Urdun.”
'Command the priests that 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.”
Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying: 'Come ye 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, as the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD came up out of the midst of the Jordan, as soon as the soles of the priests' feet were drawn up unto the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned unto their place, and went over all its banks, as aforetime.
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 day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, on the east border of Jericho.
20 Sai Yoshuwa ya kafa duwatsu goma sha biyun nan da suka ɗauko daga Urdun.
And those twelve stones, which they took 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 unto the children of Israel, saying: 'When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, 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: Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
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.
For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up from before us, until we were 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 the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty; that ye may fear the LORD your God for ever.'
