Yoshuwa 1
1 Bayan mutuwar Musa bawan Ubangiji, sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, mataimakin Musa,
Now after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, the word of the Lord came to Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses' helper, saying,
2 “Bawana Musa ya mutu. Yanzu sai ka tashi tare da mutanen nan duka, ku yi shirin ƙetare kogin Urdun zuwa cikin ƙasar da zan ba su Isra’ilawa.
Moses my servant is dead; so now get up! Go over Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.
3 Zan ba ku duk ƙasar da za ku taka, kamar yadda na yi wa Musa alkawari.
Every place on which you put your foot I have given to you, as I said to Moses.
4 Ƙasar da ta kama daga hamada zuwa Lebanon, zuwa babban Kogin, wato, Kogin Yuferites, da dukan ƙasar Hittiyawa zuwa Bahar Rum, wajen yamma.
From the waste land and this mountain Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea, in the west, will be your country.
5 Ba wanda zai yi tsayayya da kai dukan kwanakin ranka. Yadda na kasance tare da Musa, haka zan kasance tare da kai; ba zan taɓa rabuwa da kai ba; ba zan yashe ka ba.
While you are living, all will give way before you: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not take away my help from you or give you up.
6 “Ka yi ƙarfin hali ka kuma kasance da rashin tsoro, gama kai za ka bi da mutanen nan har su karɓi ƙasar da na yi wa kakanninsu alkawari zan ba su.
Take heart and be strong; for you will give to this people for their heritage the land which I gave by an oath to their fathers.
7 Ka yi ƙarfin hali ka kuma kasance da rashin tsoro, ka yi lura fa, ka yi biyayya da dokokin da bawana Musa ya ba ka; kada ka kauce ga bin dokokin ko hagu ko dama, domin ka yi nasara a duk, inda za ka je.
Only take heart and be very strong; take care to do all the law which Moses my servant gave you, not turning from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may do well in all your undertakings.
8 Kada ka bar Littafin Dokokin nan yă rabu da bakinka, sai dai ka yi ta tunani game da shi dare da rana, don ka lura, ka yi duk abin da aka rubuta a ciki, ta haka ne za ka yi nasara cikin duk abin da za ka yi.
Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.
9 Ba ni na umarce ka ba? Ka yi ƙarfin hali ka kuma kasance da rashin tsoro. Kada ka ji tsoro; kada ka karaya, gama Ubangiji Allahnka zai kasance tare da kai duk inda za ka je.”
Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go,
10 Saboda haka sai Yoshuwa ya umarci shugabannin mutane,
Then Joshua gave their orders to those who were in authority over the people, saying,
11 “Ku ratsa cikin sansani, ku gaya wa mutane, ‘Ku shirya guzurinku. Nan da kwana uku za ku ƙetare Urdun a nan, don ku je ka mallaki ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnku yake ba ku ta zama taku.’”
Go through the tents and give orders to the people, saying, Get ready a store of food; for in three days you are to go over this river Jordan and take for your heritage the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
12 Amma Yoshuwa ya ce wa mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad da kuma rabin mutanen kabilar Manasse,
And to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,
13 “Ku tuna da umarnin da Musa bawan Ubangiji ya yi muku. ‘Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba ku hutawa, ya kuma ba ku wannan ƙasa.’
Keep in mind what Moses, the servant of the Lord, said to you, The Lord your God is sending you rest and will give you this land.
14 Matanku, da yaranku, da kuma dabbobinku za su kasance a ƙasar da Musa ya ba ku a gabashin Urdun, amma dole mayaƙanku, su yi shirin yaƙi su haye, su yi gaba tare da’yan’uwanku, za ku taimaki’yan’uwanku
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle will be kept here in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but you, the fighting-men, are to go over before your brothers, armed, to give them help;
15 har sai lokacin da Ubangiji ya ba su hutawa, kamar yadda ya yi muku, kuma har sai su ma sun ƙwace ƙasar da Ubangiji Allahnku ya yi alkawari zai ba su. Bayan haka ne za ku koma ku mallaki ƙasarku, wadda Musa bawan Ubangiji ya ba ku a gabashin Urdun.”
Till the Lord has given your brothers rest, as he has given it to you, and they have taken their heritage in the land which the Lord your God is giving them: then you will go back to the land of your heritage which Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you on the east side of Jordan.
16 Sai suka amsa wa Yoshuwa suka ce, “Duk abin da ka ce mu yi, za mu yi. Duk inda kuma ka aike mu, za mu je.
Then they said to Joshua in answer, Whatever you say to us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.
17 Kamar yadda muka yi wa Musa biyayya, haka za mu yi maka biyayya. Ubangiji Allahnka ya kasance tare da Musa.
As we gave attention to Moses in all things, so we will give attention to you: and may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.
18 Duk wanda ya yi wa maganarka tawaye, ya ƙi yă yi biyayya da maganarka, ko da umarnin da ka ba shi, za a kashe shi. Ka dai ƙarfafa ka kuma yi ƙarfi hali!”
Whoever goes against your orders, and does not give attention to all your words, will be put to death: only take heart and be strong.
