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 people of Israel acted unfaithfully regarding the things that were set apart for destruction. Achan son of Karmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some things that were set apart for destruction, and Yahweh's anger burned against the people 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.
Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which was near Beth Aven, east of Bethel. He said to 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.”
When they returned to Joshua, they said to him, “Do not send all the people up to Ai. Send only two or three thousand men to go up and attack Ai. Do not make all the people labor in battle, for they are few in number.”
4 Saboda haka sai kimanin mutum duba uku suka haura; amma mutanen Ai suka fatattake su,
So only about three thousand men went up from the army, but these ran away from 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 killed about thirty-six men as they pursued them from the city gate as far as to the stone quarries, and they killed them as they were going down a hill. 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 garments. He and the elders of Israel put dust on their heads and lay facedown on the ground in front of the ark of Yahweh, remaining there until evening.
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!
Then Joshua said, “Ah, Yahweh Lord, why have you brought this people across the Jordan at all? To give us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us? If only we made a different decision and we had stayed on the other side of the Jordan!
8 Ya Ubangiji me zan ce, yanzu da abokan gāban Isra’ilawa suka ci ƙarfinsu?
Lord, what can I say, after Israel has turned their backs before their 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?”
For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it. They will surround us and make the people of the earth forget our name. What will you do for your great name?”
10 Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ka tashi! Me kake yi kwance rubda ciki?
Yahweh said to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you lying there 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 broken my covenant which I commanded them. They have stolen some of the things that were set apart. They have stolen and then also hidden their sin by putting what they have taken among their own belongings.
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.
As a result, the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turned their backs from their enemies because they themselves have been set apart for destruction. I will not be with you any more unless you destroy the things that should have been destroyed, but are still 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.
Get up! Consecrate the people to me and say to them, 'Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow. For Yahweh, the God of Israel says, “There are things set apart to be destroyed that are still among you, Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove from among you all the things that were set apart to be destroyed.”
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 by your tribes. The tribe that Yahweh selects will come near by their clans. The clan that Yahweh selects must come near by each household. The household that Yahweh selects must come near one by one.
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!’”
It will happen that the one who is selected and who has those things that were set apart for destruction, he will be burned, he and all he has, because he has broken the covenant of Yahweh and because he has done a disgraceful thing 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 brought Israel near, 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.
Joshua brought the clans of Judah near, and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He brought near the clan of the Zerahites person by person, and 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.
He brought Zabdi's household near, person by person, and Achan son of Karmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from 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.”
Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, tell the truth before Yahweh, the God of Israel, and give your confession to him. Please 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.
Achan answered Joshua, “Truly, I have sinned against Yahweh, 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 plunder a beautiful coat from Babylon, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I desired them and took them. They are hidden in the ground in the middle of 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.
Joshua sent messengers, who ran to the tent and there were the things. When they looked, they found them hidden in his own tent, and the silver under them.
23 Suka kwashe kayan daga tenti ɗin suka kawo wa Yoshuwa da sauran Isra’ilawa, suka baza su a gaban Ubangiji.
They took the items from the middle of the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the people of Israel. They poured them out before Yahweh.
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 with him, took Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, the coat, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up 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.
Then Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? Yahweh will trouble you today.” All Israel stoned him with stones. Then they stoned the rest with stones and burned them 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.
They set up over him a great heap of stones that is here until this day. Yahweh turned away his burning anger. Therefore the name of the place is the Valley of Achor until this present day.
