Yoshuwa 7
1 Amma Isra’ilawa ba su yi aminci game da kayan da aka hallaka ba; Akan ɗan Karmi, ɗan Zabdi, ɗan Zera, na kabilan Yahuda ya kwashi waɗansu abubuwa, saboda haka fushin Ubangiji ya sauka a kan Isra’ilawa.
The Israelites, however, acted unfaithfully regarding the things devoted to destruction. Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart. So the anger of the LORD burned against the Israelites.
2 Sai Yoshuwa ya aika mutane daga Yeriko zuwa Ai kusa da Bet-Awen gabas da Betel, ya ce musu, “Ku je ku leƙo ku ga yadda yankin yake.” Sai mutanen suka je suka leƙo asirin ƙasar Ai.
Meanwhile, Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, “Go up and spy out the land.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 Da suka dawo wurin Yoshuwa suka ce, “Ba lalle dukan jama’a su je yaƙi da Ai ba, ka aika mutum dubu biyu ko dubu uku su je su ciwo ƙasar da yaƙi, ba sai ka dami mutane duka ba, gama mutanen wurin kaɗan ne.”
On returning to Joshua, they reported, “There is no need to send all the people; two or three thousand men are enough to go up and attack Ai. Since the people of Ai are so few, you need not wear out all our people there.”
4 Saboda haka sai kimanin mutum duba uku suka haura; amma mutanen Ai suka fatattake su,
So about three thousand men went up, but they fled before the men of Ai.
5 suka kashe Isra’ilawa wajen mutum talatin da shida, suka fafari Isra’ilawa tun daga bakin ƙofar birnin har zuwa wurin da ake fasa duwatsu. Suka karkashe su a gangare. Wannan ya sa zuciyar Isra’ilawa ta narke suka zama kamar ruwa.
And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of them, chasing them from the gate as far as the quarries and striking them down on the slopes. So the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
6 Sai Yoshuwa ya yaga tufafinsa ya fāɗi rubda ciki a gaban akwatin alkawarin Ubangiji, yana can har yamma. Dattawan Isra’ila ma suka yi haka, suka zuba toka a kawunansu.
Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell facedown before the ark of the LORD until evening, as did the elders of Israel; and they all sprinkled dust on their heads.
7 Yoshuwa kuma ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, me ya sa ka sa mutanen nan suka ƙetare Urdun don ka bari mu shiga hannun Amoriyawa su hallaka mu? Kila da mun haƙura mun zauna a ɗaya gefen Urdun da ya fi mana!
“O, Lord GOD,” Joshua said, “why did You ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be destroyed? If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan!
8 Ya Ubangiji me zan ce, yanzu da abokan gāban Isra’ilawa suka ci ƙarfinsu?
O Lord, what can I say, now that Israel has turned its back and run from its enemies?
9 Yanzu Kan’aniyawa da sauran jama’a za su ji, za su zo su kewaye mu su share sunanmu daga duniya. To, yanzu me za ka yi don girman sunanka?”
When the Canaanites and all who live in the land hear about this, they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth. Then what will You do for Your great name?”
10 Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ka tashi! Me kake yi kwance rubda ciki?
But the LORD said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why have you fallen on your face?
11 Isra’ilawa sun yi zunubi, sun karya sharaɗin da na yi musu. Sun ɗauki waɗansu abubuwan da aka keɓe; sun yi sata, sun yi ƙarya, sun ɓoye su cikin kayansu.
Israel has sinned; they have transgressed My covenant that I commanded them, and they have taken some of what was devoted to destruction. Indeed, they have stolen and lied, and they have put these things with their own possessions.
12 Shi ne ya sa Isra’ilawa suka kāsa yin tsayayya da abokan gābansu; suka juya suka gudu domin za a hallaka su. Ba zan sāke kasancewa tare da ku ba sai in kun hallaka duk abin da aka keɓe don hallaka.
This is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies. They will turn their backs and run from their enemies, because they themselves have been set apart for destruction. I will no longer be with you unless you remove from among you whatever is devoted to destruction.
13 “Tashi, ka je ka tsarkake mutane. Ka ce musu su tsarkake kansu, su yi shiri domin gobe; gama ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, a cikinku akwai abubuwan da aka keɓe, ya Isra’ilawa. Ba za ku iya yin tsayayya da abokan gābanku ba sai in kun rabu da abubuwan nan da aka haramta.
Get up and consecrate the people, saying, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Among you, O Israel, there are things devoted to destruction. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.
14 “‘Da safe ku zo kabila-kabila. Kabilar da Ubangiji ya ware, za tă zo gaba gida-gida; gidan da Ubangiji ya ware, za su zo gaba iyali-iyali. Iyalin kuma da Ubangiji ya ware, za su zo gaba mutum bayan mutum.
In the morning you must present yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe that the LORD selects shall come forward clan by clan, and the clan that the LORD selects shall come forward family by family, and the family that the LORD selects shall come forward man by man.
15 Mutumin da aka same shi da haramtattun abubuwan kuwa za a ƙone shi, duk da mallakarsa domin ya karya sharaɗin da Ubangiji ya yi muku, ya yi abin kunya a Isra’ila!’”
The one who is caught with the things devoted to destruction must be burned, along with all that belongs to him, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD and committed an outrage in Israel.’”
16 Kashegari da sassafe Yoshuwa ya sa Isra’ilawa suka fito kabila-kabila, aka ware kabilar Yahuda.
So Joshua arose early the next morning and had Israel come forward tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected.
17 Gidan Yahuda suka zo gaba, sai aka ware gidan Zera, aka sa suka fito iyali-iyali, sai aka ware Zabdi.
He had the clans of Judah come forward, and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward, and the family of Zabdi was selected.
18 Yoshuwa kuwa ya sa iyalin Zabdi suka fito mutum-mutum, sai kuwa aka ware Akan ɗan Karmi, ɗan Zimri, ɗan Zera na kabilar Yahuda.
And he had the family of Zabdi come forward man by man, and Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected.
19 Sai Yoshuwa ya ce wa Akan, “Ɗana, sai ka ba Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ɗaukaka, ka yi masa yabo. Ka gaya mini abin da ka yi; kada ka ɓoye mini.”
So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make a confession to Him. I urge you to tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
20 Akan kuwa ya amsa ya ce, “Gaskiya ne! Na yi wa Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila zunubi. Ga abin da na yi.
“It is true,” Achan replied, “I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I did:
21 A cikin ganimar, na ga doguwar riga mai kyau irin ta Babilon, da shekel ɗari biyu na azurfa, da kuma sandan zinariya mai nauyin shekel hamsin, sai raina ya so su, na kuwa kwashe su. Na tona rami a cikin ƙasa a tentina; na ɓoye.”
When I saw among the spoils a beautiful cloak from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
22 Sai Yoshuwa ya aiki’yan aika suka tafi da gudu zuwa tenti ɗin, haka kuwa suka same su a ɓoye a tentinsa, da azurfa a ƙarƙashi.
So Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent, and there it all was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath.
23 Suka kwashe kayan daga tenti ɗin suka kawo wa Yoshuwa da sauran Isra’ilawa, suka baza su a gaban Ubangiji.
They took the things from inside the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and spread them out before the LORD.
24 Sai Yoshuwa da dukan Isra’ilawa suka ɗauki Akan ɗan Zera, da azurfar, doguwar rigar, sandan zinariya,’ya’yansa maza da mata, shanunsa, jakuna da tumaki, tentinsa da duk abin da yake da shi, suka kai su Kwarin Akor.
Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the cloak, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his oxen and donkeys and sheep, his tent, and everything else he owned, and brought them to the Valley of Achor.
25 Yoshuwa ya ce, “Me ya sa ka jawo mana wahala haka? Ubangiji zai kawo maka wahala kai ma a yau.” Sai dukan Isra’ilawa suka jajjefe shi, bayan da suka gama jifarsa sai suka ƙone sauran.
“Why have you brought this trouble upon us?” said Joshua. “Today the LORD will bring trouble upon you!” And all Israel stoned him to death. Then they stoned the others and burned their bodies.
26 Suka tara manyan duwatsu a kan Akan, tarin duwatsun na nan a can har wa yau. Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya huce daga fushinsa mai zafi. Saboda haka ake kiran wurin Kwarin Akor.
And they heaped over Achan a large pile of rocks that remains to this day. So the LORD turned from His burning anger. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Achor to this day.
