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.
But the children of Israel did wrong about the cursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the family of Judah, took of the cursed thing, moving the Lord to wrath against the children of Israel.
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.
Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is by the side of Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and said to them, Go up and make a search through the land. And the men went up and saw how Ai was placed.
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.”
Then they came back to Joshua and said to him, Do not send all the people up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and make an attack on Ai; there is no need for all the people to be tired with the journey there, for it is only a small town.
4 Saboda haka sai kimanin mutum duba uku suka haura; amma mutanen Ai suka fatattake su,
So about three thousand of the people went up, and were sent in flight by 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.
The men of Ai put to death about thirty-six of them, driving them from before the town as far as the stoneworks, and overcoming them on the way down: and the hearts of the people 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, in great grief, went down on the earth before the ark of the Lord till the evening, and all the chiefs of Israel with him, and they put 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!
And Joshua said, O Lord God, why have you taken us over Jordan only to give us up into the hands of the Amorites for our destruction? If only it had been enough for us to keep on the other side of Jordan!
8 Ya Ubangiji me zan ce, yanzu da abokan gāban Isra’ilawa suka ci ƙarfinsu?
O Lord, what am I to say now that Israel have given way before their attackers?
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?”
For when the news comes to the Canaanites and all the people of the land, they will come up, shutting us in and cutting off our name from the earth: and what will you do for the honour of your great name?
10 Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ka tashi! Me kake yi kwance rubda ciki?
Then the Lord said to Joshua, Get up; what are you doing with your face to the earth?
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 done wrong, sinning against the agreement which I made with them: they have even taken of the cursed thing; acting falsely like thieves they have put it among their goods.
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.
For this reason the children of Israel have given way, turning their backs in flight before their attackers, because they are cursed: I will no longer be with you, if you do not put the cursed thing away from among you.
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.
Up! make the people holy; say to them, Make yourselves holy before tomorrow, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said, There is a cursed thing among you, O Israel, and you will give way before your attackers in the fight till the cursed thing has been taken away from among you.
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.
So in the morning you are to come near, tribe by tribe; and the tribe marked out by the Lord is to come near, family by family; and the family marked out by the Lord is to come near, house by house; and the house marked out by the Lord is to come near, 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!’”
Then the man who is taken with the cursed thing is to be burned, with everything which is his; because he has gone against the agreement of the Lord and has done an act of shame in Israel.
16 Kashegari da sassafe Yoshuwa ya sa Isra’ilawa suka fito kabila-kabila, aka ware kabilar Yahuda.
So Joshua got up early in the morning, and made Israel come before him by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken;
17 Gidan Yahuda suka zo gaba, sai aka ware gidan Zera, aka sa suka fito iyali-iyali, sai aka ware Zabdi.
Then he made Judah come forward, and the family of the Zerahites was taken; and he made the family of the Zerahites come forward man by man; and Zabdi was taken;
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.
Then the house of Zabdi came forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
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.”
And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give glory and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel; give me word now of what you have done, and keep nothing back 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.
And Achan, answering, said to Joshua, Truly I have done wrong against the Lord, the God of Israel, and this is what I have done:
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 their goods a fair robe of Babylon and two hundred shekels of silver, and a mass of gold, fifty shekels in weight, I was overcome by desire and took them; and they are put away in the earth in my tent, and the silver is under it.
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 men quickly, and looking in his tent, they saw where the robe had been put away secretly with the silver under it.
23 Suka kwashe kayan daga tenti ɗin suka kawo wa Yoshuwa da sauran Isra’ilawa, suka baza su a gaban Ubangiji.
And they took them from the tent and came back with them to Joshua and the children of Israel, and put them 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 and all Israel took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver and the robe and the mass of gold, and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his asses and his sheep and his tent and everything he had; and they took them up into 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.
And Joshua said, Why have you been a cause of trouble to us? Today the Lord will send trouble on you. And all Israel took part in stoning him; they had him stoned to death and then burned with fire.
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 over him they put a great mass of stones, which is there to this day; then the heat of the Lord's wrath was turned away. So that place was named, The Valley of Achor, to this day.
