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 committed a trespass in the devoted things; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. Therefore the LORD’s anger burned 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.
Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the land.” 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.”
They returned to Joshua, and said to him, “Don’t let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Don’t make all the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them.”
4 Saboda haka sai kimanin mutum duba uku suka haura; amma mutanen Ai suka fatattake su,
So about three thousand men of the people went up there, and 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.
The men of Ai struck about thirty-six men of them. They chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and struck them at the descent. 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.
Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the LORD’s ark until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; 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!
Joshua said, “Alas, Lord GOD, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? I wish that we had been content and lived beyond the Jordan!
8 Ya Ubangiji me zan ce, yanzu da abokan gāban Isra’ilawa suka ci ƙarfinsu?
Oh, Lord, what shall 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, and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you do for your great name?”
10 Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa, “Ka tashi! Me kake yi kwance rubda ciki?
The LORD said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face like that?
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. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Yes, they have even taken some of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and also deceived. They have even put it among their own stuff.
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.
Therefore the children of Israel can’t stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devoted things 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.
Get up! Sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, “There is a devoted thing among you, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted thing 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.
In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which the LORD selects shall come near by families. The family which the LORD selects shall come near by households. The household which the LORD selects shall 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!’”
It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the LORD’s covenant, 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 rose up early in the morning and brought Israel near by their tribes. 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 brought near the family of Judah, and he selected the family of the Zerahites. He brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man, 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 near his household man by man, and Achan, the 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.”
Joshua said to Achan, “My son, please give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make confession to him. Tell me now what you have done! Don’t 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, and said, “I have truly sinned 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 the plunder a beautiful Babylonian robe, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. Behold, they are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, with the silver 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 messengers, and they ran to the tent. Behold, it was hidden in his tent, 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.
They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel. They laid them down 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.
Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, 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.
Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you today.” All Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.
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 raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. The LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called “The valley of Achor” to this day.
