Yoshuwa 4
1 Da al’umma gaba ɗaya suka ƙetare Urdun, Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa,
And when the people had completely passed over Jordan, the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying,
2 “Ka zaɓi mutum goma sha biyu daga cikin mutane, ɗaya daga kowace kabila,
Take men from the people, one of each 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 charge them; and you shall take out of the midst of Jordan twelve fit stones, and having carried them across together with yourselves, place them in your camp, where you shall encamp for the night.
4 Sai Yoshuwa ya kira mutum goma sha biyu da ya zaɓa daga cikin Isra’ilawa, ɗaya daga kowace kabila
And Joshua having called twelve men of distinction among the children of Israel, one of each 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,
said to them, Advance before me in the presence of the Lord into the midst of Jordan, and each having taken up a stone from thence, let him carry it on his shoulders, according to the number of the twelve tribes 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 these may be to you continually for an appointed sign, that when your son asks you in future, saying, What are these stones to us?
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 you may explain to your son, saying, The river Jordan was dried up from before the ark of the covenant of the Lord of the whole earth, when it passed it: and these stones shall be for a memorial for you for 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 the Lord commanded Joshua; and they took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, (as the Lord commanded Joshua, when the children of Israel had completely passed over, ) and carried these stones with them into the camp, 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 Joshua set also other twelve stones in Jordan itself, in the place that was under the feet of the priests that bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord; and there they are 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 that bore the ark of the covenant stood in Jordan, until Joshua [had] finished all that the Lord commanded him to report to the people; 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 passed over, that the ark of the covenant of the Lord passed over, and the stones before them.
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 sons of Ruben, and the sons of Gad, and the half tribe of Manasse passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses commanded them.
13 Wajen mutum dubu arba’in shirye domin yaƙi, suka wuce a gaban Ubangiji zuwa filayen Yeriko.
Forty thousand armed for battle went over before the Lord to war, to the city 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.
In that day the Lord magnified Joshua before all the people of Israel; and they feared him, as [they did] Moses, as long as he lived.
15 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa,
And the Lord spoke to Joshua, saying,
16 “Ka umarci firistocin da suke ɗauke da akwatin Shaida su fito daga cikin Urdun.”
Charge the priests that bear the ark of the covenant of the testimony of the Lord, to go up out of Jordan.
17 Sai Yoshuwa ya umarci firistoci ya ce, “Ku fito daga cikin Urdun.”
And Joshua charged the priests, saying, Go up out of 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 the Lord were gone up out of Jordan, and set their feet upon the land, [that] the water of Jordan returned impetuously to its place, and went as before 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 went up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month; and the children of Israel encamped in Galgala in the region eastward from Jericho.
20 Sai Yoshuwa ya kafa duwatsu goma sha biyun nan da suka ɗauko daga Urdun.
And Joshua set these twelve stones which he took out of Jordan, in Galgala,
21 Ya ce wa Isra’ilawa, “Nan gaba in yaranku suka tambayi iyayensu suka ce, ‘Mece ce ma’anar waɗannan duwatsun?’
saying, When your sons ask you, saying, What are these stones?
22 Ku ce musu, ‘Isra’ilawa sun ƙetare kogin Urdun a kan busasshiyar ƙasa.’
Tell your sons, that Israel went 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.
when the Lord our God had dried up the water of Jordan from before them, until they had passed over; as the Lord our God did to the Red Sea, which the Lord our God dried up from before us, until we 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 nations of the earth might know, that the power of the Lord is mighty, and that you might worship the Lord our God in every work.
