Yoshuwa 1
1 Bayan mutuwar Musa bawan Ubangiji, sai Ubangiji ya ce wa Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, mataimakin Musa,
And it cometh to pass after the death of Moses, servant of Jehovah, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, 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, and now, rise, pass over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel.
3 Zan ba ku duk ƙasar da za ku taka, kamar yadda na yi wa Musa alkawari.
'Every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth, to you I have given it, as I have spoken unto 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 this wilderness and Lebanon, and unto the great river, the river Phrath, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great Sea — the going in of the sun — is your border.
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.
'No man doth station himself before thee all days of thy life; as I have been with Moses, I am with thee, I do not fail thee, nor forsake thee;
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.
be strong and courageous, for thou — thou dost cause this people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.
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, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded thee; thou dost not turn aside from it right or left, so that thou dost act wisely in every [place] whither thou goest;
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.
the book of this law doth not depart out of thy mouth, and thou hast meditated in it by day and by night, so that thou dost observe to do according to all that is written in it, for then thou dost cause thy way to prosper, and then thou dost act wisely.
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 not I commanded thee? be strong and courageous; be not terrified nor affrighted, for with thee [is] Jehovah thy God in every [place] whither thou goest.'
10 Saboda haka sai Yoshuwa ya umarci shugabannin mutane,
And Joshua commandeth the authorities of 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.’”
'Pass over into the midst of the camp, and command the people, saying, Prepare for yourselves provision, for within three days ye are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you to possess it.'
12 Amma Yoshuwa ya ce wa mutanen Ruben, mutanen Gad da kuma rabin mutanen kabilar Manasse,
And to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh, hath Joshua spoken, saying,
13 “Ku tuna da umarnin da Musa bawan Ubangiji ya yi muku. ‘Ubangiji Allahnku ya ba ku hutawa, ya kuma ba ku wannan ƙasa.’
'Remember the word which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God is giving rest to you, and He hath given to 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 infants, and your substance, abide in the land which Moses hath given to you beyond the Jordan, and ye — ye pass over by fifties, before your brethren, all the mighty ones of valour, and have helped them,
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 that Jehovah giveth rest to your brethren as to yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them; then ye have turned back to the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which Moses, servant of Jehovah, hath given to you beyond the Jordan, [at] the sun-rising.'
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.
And they answer Joshua, saying, 'All that thou hast commanded us we do; and unto every [place] whither thou dost send us, we go;
17 Kamar yadda muka yi wa Musa biyayya, haka za mu yi maka biyayya. Ubangiji Allahnka ya kasance tare da Musa.
according to all that we hearkened unto Moses [in], so we hearken unto thee; surely Jehovah thy God is with thee as He hath been 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!”
Any man who doth provoke thy mouth, and doth not hear thy words, in all that thou dost command him, is put to death; only, be strong and courageous.'
