Yoshuwa 5
1 To, da dukan sarakunan Amoriyawa na yammancin Urdun, da dukan sarakunan Kan’aniyawan da suke bakin teku suka ji yadda Ubangiji ya busar da kogin Urdun a gaban Isra’ilawa, har sai da dukansu suka ƙetare, zuciyarsu ta narke, suka karaya sosai har ma suka rasa samun ƙarfin hali su fuskanci Isra’ilawa.
Now when all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwelt beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of Chanaan, who possessed the places near the great sea, had heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, till they passed over, their heart failed them, and there remained no spirit in them, fearing the coming in of the children of Israel.
2 A lokacin nan Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ka yi wuƙaƙe na duwatsu ka yi wa Isra’ilawa kaciya.”
At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.
3 Sai Yoshuwa ya yi wuƙaƙe na duwatsu, ya yi wa Isra’ilawa kaciya a Gibeyat-Ha’aralot.
He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.
4 Dalilin da ya sa ya yi haka shi ne, dukan waɗanda suka fito daga Masar, dukan mazan da suka kai shekarun shiga soja, sun mutu a cikin jeji a hanya bayan sun bar Masar.
Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way.
5 Dukan mutanen da suka fito daga Masar an yi musu kaciya, amma duk waɗanda aka haifa a jeji a tafiya daga Masar, ba a yi musu ba.
Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,
6 Isra’ilawa sun yi tafiya a jeji shekaru arba’in, har sai da dukan mazan da suka kai shekarun shiga soja da suka bar Masar suka mutu, domin ba su yi wa Ubangiji biyayya ba. Gama Ubangiji ya rantse cewa ba zai bar su su ga ƙasar da ya yi wa iyayensu alkawari da rantsuwa cewa zai ba su ba, ƙasar da zuma da madara suke kwarara, ƙasar da take cike da albarka.
Luring the forty years of the journey in the wide wilderness, were uncircumcised: till all they were consumed that had not heard the voice of the Lord, and to whom he had sworn before, that he would not shew them the land flowing with milk and honey.
7 Sai ya sa yaransu ne suka taso a maimakonsu, su ne waɗanda Yoshuwa ya yi wa kaciya. Sun kasance ba kaciya gama ba a yi musu ba a hanya.
The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way.
8 Kuma bayan da aka yi wa al’ummar kaciya dukansu, sai suka dakata a nan, sai da suka warke.
Now after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp, until they were healed.
9 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Yau na kawar muku da zargin Masar.” Saboda haka ake kiran sunan wurin Gilgal har wa yau.
And the Lord said to Josue: This day have I taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. And the name of that place was called Galgal, until this present day.
10 Da yamman rana ta goma sha huɗu ga wata, lokacin da suke a Gilgal a filin Yeriko, Isra’ilawa suka yi Bikin Ƙetarewa.
And the children of Israel abode in Galgal, and they kept the phase on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho:
11 A kashegarin Bikin, a wannan rana, sai suka ci daga cikin amfanin ƙasar, burodi marar yisti da hatsin da aka gasa.
And they ate on the next day unleavened bread of the corn of the land, and frumenty of the same year.
12 Kashegari bayan da suka ci amfanin ƙasar kuwa, Manna ta yanke, mutanen Isra’ila kuma ba su ƙara samunta ba. A wannan shekara suka fara cin amfanin ƙasar Kan’ana.
And the manna ceased after they ate of the corn of the land, neither did the children of Israel use that food any more, but they ate of the corn of the present year of the land of Chanaan.
13 To, da Yoshuwa ya yi kusa da Yeriko, ya tā da idanunsa ya duba, sai ya ga wani mutum tsaye a gabansa riƙe da takobi, sai Yoshuwa ya je wurinsa ya ce masa, “Kai namu ne ko na abokan gābanmu?”
And when Josue was in the field of the city of Jericho, he lifted up his eyes, and saw a man standing over against him: holding a drawn sword, and he went to him, and said: Art thou one of ours, or of our adversaries?
14 Mutumin ya ce, “Babu ko ɗaya, na dai zo ne a matsayin shugaban rundunar sojojin Ubangiji.” Sai Yoshuwa ya kwanta da fuskarsa har ƙasa, ya girmama shi, ya ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, wane saƙo kake da shi domin bawanka?”
And he answered: No: but I am prince of the host of the Lord, and now I am come. Josue fell on his face to the ground. And worshipping, add: What saith my lord to his servant?
15 Shugaban rundunar sojojin Ubangiji ya amsa ya ce, “Ka cire takalmanka, gama wurin da kake tsaye, mai tsarki ne.” Sai Yoshuwa ya cire takalmansa.
Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him.
