< Yoshuwa 6 >
1 Ƙofofin Yeriko kuwa a kulle suke ciki da waje saboda Isra’ilawa, ba mai fita babu kuma mai shiga.
Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2 Sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Duba, na ba ka nasara a kan Yeriko, duk da sarkinta da mayaƙanta.
And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the mighty men of valour.
3 Da kai da dukan sojoji, ku zaga birnin sau ɗaya kullum. Ku yi haka har kwana shida.
And ye shall compass the city, all [ye] men of war, [and] go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
4 Ka sa firistoci guda bakwai su riƙe ƙahoni raguna su kasance a gaban akwatin alkawari. A rana ta bakwai sai ku zaga birnin sau bakwai, firistocin suna busa ƙahoni.
And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
5 Sa’ad da kuka ji sun ɗauki dogon lokaci suna busa ƙaho, sai mutane gaba ɗaya su tā da murya su yi ihu da ƙarfi; katangar birnin kuwa za tă rushe, sai sojoji su haura, ko wanne yă nufi inda ya fuskanta kai tsaye.”
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long [blast] with the ram’s horn, [and] when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
6 Yoshuwa ɗan Nun kuwa ya kira firistoci ya ce musu, “Ku ɗauki akwatin alkawari, ku sa firistoci guda bakwai su riƙe ƙahoni su kasance a gabansa.”
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD.
7 Sai ya umarci jama’a ya ce, “Mu je zuwa! Ku zaga birnin, masu tsaro da makamai su shiga gaban akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji.”
And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
8 Da Yoshuwa ya gama yin wa mutane magana, sai firistoci guda bakwai waɗanda suke riƙe da ƙahoni guda bakwai a gaban Ubangiji suka sha gaba suna busa ƙahoninsu, akwatin alkawari kuwa yana biye da su.
And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
9 Masu tsaro da makamai kuma suna gaban firistoci waɗanda suke busa ƙahoni, masu tsaro daga baya kuma suna bin akwatin alkawari, ana ta busa ƙahoni.
And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, [the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
10 Amma Yoshuwa ya umarci mutane ya ce, “Kada ku yi kururuwar yaƙi, kada ku tā da murya, kada ku ce kome, sai ranar da na ce ku yi ihu, a sa’an nan ne sai ku yi ihu!”
And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall [any] word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
11 Sai ya sa aka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji aka kewaye birnin da shi sau ɗaya, sa’an nan mutane suka dawo masauƙinsu suka kwana a can.
So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about [it] once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12 Kashegari, Yoshuwa ya tashi da sassafe, firistoci kuma suka ɗauki akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
13 Firistoci guda bakwai waɗanda suke riƙe da ƙahoni guda bakwai suka shiga gaba, suna takawa a gaban akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji suna kuma busa ƙahoni, masu tsaro ɗauke da makamai suna gabansu, sai masu tsaro da suke baya suna biye da akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji.
And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, [the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
14 A rana ta biyu suka sāke zaga birnin sau ɗaya, suka kuma koma masauƙinsu. Haka suka yi har kwana shida.
And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
15 A rana ta bakwai, suka tashi da sassafe suka zaga birnin sau bakwai yadda suka saba. A wannan rana kaɗai ne suka zaga birnin sau bakwai.
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16 A zagawa ta bakwai, da firistoci suka busa ƙahoni, sai Yoshuwa ya ba sojojin umarni ya ce, “Ku yi ihu, gama Ubangiji ya ba ku birnin!
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
17 Birnin da dukan abin da yake cikinta za a miƙa su ga Ubangiji. Rahab karuwan nan kaɗai ce, da dukan waɗanda suke tare da ita a gidanta za a bari da rai domin ta ɓoye’yan leƙen asirin ƙasa da muka aika.
And the city shall be accursed, [even] it, and all that [are] therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that [are] with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
18 Amma, ba za ku ɗauki wani abin da za a hallaka ba, idan kuka yi haka, za ku jawo masifa da hallaka a kan mutanen Isra’ila a inda kuka sauka.
And ye, in any wise keep [yourselves] from the accursed thing, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
19 Dukan azurfa da zinariya, da kwanonin tagulla da na ƙarfe, keɓaɓɓu ne ga Ubangiji, dole a sa su cikin ma’ajin Ubangiji.”
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, [are] consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
20 Da aka busa ƙahoni, sojoji suka yi ihu, da jin ƙarar ƙahoni, mutane suka kuma yi ihu, sai katangar ta rushe; dukan mutanen kuwa suka shiga birnin kai tsaye, suka yi nasara a kanta.
So the people shouted when [the priests] blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
21 Suka miƙa wa Ubangiji birnin, suka hallaka kowane abu mai ran da yake cikin birnin da takobi, maza da mata, yara da tsofaffi, shanu, tumaki da jakuna.
And they utterly destroyed all that [was] in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
22 Yoshuwa ya ce wa mutanen nan biyu waɗanda suka je leƙen asirin ƙasar, “Ku shiga gidan karuwan nan ku fitar da ita da duk waɗanda suke nata bisa ga alkawarin da kuka yi mata.”
But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
23 Sai samarin waɗanda suka je leƙen asirin suka shiga suka fitar da Rahab, mahaifinta da mahaifiyarta, da’yan’uwanta da duk abin da yake nata. Suka fitar da iyalinta gaba ɗaya suka sa su a wani wuri, ba a cikin masauƙin Isra’ilawa ba.
And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
24 Sa’an nan suka ƙona birnin tare da dukan abin da yake ciki tatas, amma suka sa azurfa da zinariya da kayan tagulla da na ƙarfe a cikin ma’aji na haikalin Ubangiji.
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that [was] therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
25 Amma Yoshuwa ya bar Rahab karuwan nan bai kashe ta ba, ita da iyalinta da duk abin da yake nata, domin ita ta ɓoye mutanen da Yoshuwa ya aika Yeriko don su leƙo asirin ƙasar kuma ta zauna tare da Isra’ilawa har wa yau.
And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel [even] unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 A lokacin nan Yoshuwa ya yi wannan alkawari cewa, “Ubangiji zai tsine wa mutumin da zai yi ƙoƙarin sāke gina birnin nan, Yeriko. “A bakin ran ɗan farinsa zai kafa harsashin birnin; a bakin ran ɗan autansa kuma zai sa ƙofofin birnin.”
And Joshua adjured [them] at that time, saying, Cursed [be] the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest [son] shall he set up the gates of it.
27 Ubangiji ya kasance tare da Yoshuwa, aka kuma san da shi a duk fāɗin ƙasar.
So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was [noised] throughout all the country.
