Mahukunta 11
1 Yefta mutumin Gileyad, jarumi ne ƙwarai. Mahaifinsa ne Gileyad; mahaifiyar kuwa karuwa ce.
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of a harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
2 Matar Gileyad ta haifa masa’ya’ya maza, kuma sa’ad da suka yi girma, sai suka kore Yefta, suka ce “Ba ka da gādo a cikin iyalinmu, domin kai ɗan wata mace ce.”
And Gilead’s wife bare him sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house; for thou art the son of another woman.
3 Saboda haka Yefta ya tsere daga’yan’uwansa ya zauna a ƙasar Tob, inda waɗansu’yan iska suka kewaye shi suka bi shi.
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain fellows to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
4 Ana nan, sa’ad da Ammonawa suka kai wa Isra’ilawa hari,
And it came to pass after a while, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
5 dattawan Gileyad suka je suka nemo Yefta daga ƙasar Tob.
And it was so, that, when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob;
6 Suka ce masa, “Ka zo ka zama mana shugaba, don mu yaƙi Ammonawa.”
and they said unto Jephthah, Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
7 Yefta ya ce musu, “Ba kun ƙi ni kuka kuma kore ni daga gidan mahaifina ba? Me ya sa kuke zuwa wurina yanzu sa’ad da kuke cikin wahala?”
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?
8 Mutanen Gileyad suka ce masa, “Duk da haka, muna juyo wajenka yanzu, ka zo tare da mu mu yaƙi Ammonawa, za ka kuma zama shugaban duk wanda yake zama a Gileyad.”
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore are we turned again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight with the children of Ammon; and thou shalt be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
9 Yefta ya ce, “A ce kun dawo da ni in yaƙi Ammonawa, Ubangiji kuwa ya ba da su a hannuna, zan zama shugabanku?”
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight with the children of Ammon, and Jehovah deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
10 Dattawan Gileyad suka ce, “Ubangiji ne shaidanmu; za mu yi duk abin da ka ce.”
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Jehovah shall be witness between us; surely according to thy word so will we do.
11 Saboda haka Yefta ya tafi tare da dattawan Gileyad, mutanen kuwa suka naɗa shi shugabansu da kuma sarkinsu. Ya kuwa maimaita dukan maganarsa a gaban Ubangiji a Mizfa.
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them: and Jephthah spake all his words before Jehovah in Mizpah.
12 Sa’an nan Yefta ya aiki jakadu zuwa wurin sarkin Ammonawa su tambaya, “Me ya haɗa ka da ni, da ka kawo wa ƙasata yaƙi?”
And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come unto me to fight against my land?
13 Sarkin Ammonawa ya ce wa jakadu, “Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka fito daga Masar, sun ƙwace mini ƙasa tun daga Arnon zuwa Yabbok, har zuwa Urdun. Yanzu ka mayar mini ita cikin salama.”
And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and unto the Jordan: now therefore restore those [lands] again peaceably.
14 Yefta ya sāke aikan jakadu wurin sarki,
And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon;
15 yana cewa, “Ga abin da Yefta yake faɗi, Isra’ila ba tă ƙwace ƙasar Mowab ko ta Ammonawa ba.
and he said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah: Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;
16 Amma sa’ad da suka bar Masar, Isra’ila ta bi ta hamada zuwa Jan Teku har suka zo Kadesh.
but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;
17 Sa’an nan Isra’ila ta aiki jakadu zuwa ga sarkin Edom cewa, ‘Ka ba mu izini mu ratsa ƙasarka,’ amma sarkin Edom bai saurara ba. Suka kuma aika wa sarkin Mowab, shi ma ya ƙi. Saboda haka Isra’ila ta zauna a Kadesh.
then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land; but the king of Edom hearkened not. And in like manner he sent unto the king of Moab; but he would not: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 “Daga can suka ci gaba ta hamada, suka zaga ƙasashen Edom da Mowab, suka wuce ta gabashin ƙasar Mowab, sa’an nan suka yi sansani a ɗaya gefen Arnon. Ba su shiga yankin Mowab ba, gama Arnon ce iyakarta.
Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped on the other side of the Arnon; but they came not within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
19 “Sa’an nan Isra’ila ta aiki jakadu zuwa ga Sihon sarkin Amoriyawa, wanda yake mulki a Heshbon, ta ce masa, ‘Ka bar mu mu ratsa ƙasarka mu wuce zuwa wurinmu.’
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place.
20 Sihon dai, bai amince da Isra’ila su ratsa ƙasarsa ba. Ya tattara dukan mutanensa suka yi sansani a Yahza suka kuwa yaƙi Isra’ila.
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21 “Sa’an nan Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, ya ba da Sihon da dukan mutanensa a hannun Isra’ila, suka kuwa ci nasara a kansu. Isra’ila ta ƙwace dukan ƙasar Amoriyawa da suke zaune a ƙasar,
And Jehovah, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
22 suka ƙwace dukan yankin Amoriyawa tun daga ƙasar Arnon zuwa Yabbok, daga hamada har zuwa Urdun.
And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan.
23 “To, da yake Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, ya kori Amoriyawa a gaban mutanensa Isra’ila, wane’yanci kake da shi da za ka karɓe ta?
So now Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess them?
24 Ba za ka karɓi abin da allahnka Kemosh ya ba ka ba? Haka mu ma, duk abin da Ubangiji Allahnmu ya riga ya ba mu, za mu mallake shi.
Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever Jehovah our God hath dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.
25 Ka fi Balak ɗan Ziffor, sarkin Mowab ne? Ka taɓa ji ya yi hamayya da Isra’ila ko yă yi yaƙi da su?
And now art thou anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
26 Shekara ɗari uku Isra’ilawa suka yi zamansu a Heshbon, Arower da ƙauyukan kewayenta da dukan biranen da suke gefen Arnon. Me ya sa ba ka karɓe su a lokacin ba?
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years; wherefore did ye not recover them within that time?
27 Ban yi maka laifi ba, amma kana musguna mini ta wurin kawo mini hari. Bari Ubangiji yă zama Alƙali, yă yanke hukunci tsakani Isra’ilawa da Ammonawa.”
I therefore have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: Jehovah, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
28 Duk da haka sarkin Ammonawa bai kula da saƙon da Yefta ya aika ba.
Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
29 Sa’an nan Ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko wa Yefta. Sai ya haye Gileyad da Manasse, ya ratsa ta Mizfa zuwa Gileyad, daga can kuma ya kai wa Ammonawa hari.
Then the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
30 Yefta kuwa ya yi wa’adi da Ubangiji ya ce, “In ka ba da Ammonawa a hannuwana,
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
31 duk abin da ya fara fitowa daga ƙofar gidana don yă tarye ni, sa’ad da na komo daga yaƙi da Ammonawa, zai zama na Ubangiji, zan miƙa shi hadaya ta ƙonawa.”
then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be Jehovah’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt-offering.
32 Sa’an nan Yefta ya haye zuwa wajen Ammonawa don yaƙi da su. Ubangiji kuwa ya ba da su a hannuwansa.
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and Jehovah delivered them into his hand.
33 Ya hallaka birane ashirin tun daga Arower zuwa yankin Minnit, har zuwa Abel-Keramim. Haka Isra’ila ta cinye Ammonawa ƙaf.
And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto Abel-cheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
34 Sa’ad da Yefta ya komo gida a Mizfa, wa ya fito yă tarye shi,’yarsa tilo, tana rawa kiɗin ganguna! Ita ce kaɗai’yarsa. Ban da ita ba shi da ɗa ko’ya.
And Jephthah came to Mizpah unto his house; and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
35 Da ya gan ta, sai ya yayyage tufafinsa ya yi kuka ya ce, “Kaito!’Yata! Kin karya mini gwiwa, kuma na lalace, domin na yi wa’adi ga Ubangiji da ba zan iya in karya ba.”
And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me; for I have opened my mouth unto Jehovah, and I cannot go back.
36 Ta ce, “Mahaifina, idan ka riga ka yi wa Ubangiji magana, sai ka yi da ni yadda ka yi alkawari, da yake Ubangiji ya ɗau maka fansa a kan Ammonawa.”
And she said unto him, My father, thou hast opened thy mouth unto Jehovah; do unto me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth, forasmuch as Jehovah hath taken vengeance for thee on thine enemies, even on the children of Ammon.
37 Sai ta kuma ce, “Sai dai, ka biya mini wannan bukata guda. Ka ba ni wata biyu in yi ta yawo da ni da ƙawayena a kan duwatsu mu yi makoki, domin ba zan yi aure ba.”
And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may depart and go down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
38 Ya ce mata, “Ki tafi,” Ya bar ta tă tafi har wata biyu. Ita da’yan matan suka tafi a kan duwatsu suka yi ta makoki domin ba za tă taɓa aure ba.
And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
39 Bayan watanni biyu ɗin sai ta komo wurin mahaifinta ya kuwa yi da ita yadda ya yi wa’adi. Ita kuwa ba tă taɓa san namiji ba. Wannan ya zama al’ada a Isra’ila,
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew not man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 cewa kowace shekara’yan mata sukan fita kwana huɗu don yin bikin tunawa da’yar Yefta mutumin Gileyad.
that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
