Mahukunta 11
1 Yefta mutumin Gileyad, jarumi ne ƙwarai. Mahaifinsa ne Gileyad; mahaifiyar kuwa karuwa ce.
And Jephthae the Galaadite [was] a mighty man; and he [was] the son of a harlot, who bore Jephthae to Galaad.
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 the wife of Galaad bore him sons; and the sons of his wife grew up, and they cast out Jephthae, and said to him, You shall not inherit in the house of our father, for you are the son of a concubine.
3 Saboda haka Yefta ya tsere daga’yan’uwansa ya zauna a ƙasar Tob, inda waɗansu’yan iska suka kewaye shi suka bi shi.
And Jephthae fled from the face of his brethren, and lived in the land of Tob; and vain men gathered to Jephthae, and went out with him.
4 Ana nan, sa’ad da Ammonawa suka kai wa Isra’ilawa hari,
And it came to pass when the children of Ammon prepared to fight with Israel,
5 dattawan Gileyad suka je suka nemo Yefta daga ƙasar Tob.
that the elders of Galaad went to fetch Jephthae from the land of Tob.
6 Suka ce masa, “Ka zo ka zama mana shugaba, don mu yaƙi Ammonawa.”
And they said to Jephthae, Come, and be our head, and we will fight with the sons 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 Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, Did you not hate me, and cast me out of my father's house, and banish me from you? and therefore are you come to me now when you lack me?
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 Galaad said to Jephthae, Therefore have we now turned to you, that you should go with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Galaad.
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 Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, If you turn me back to fight with the children of Ammon, and the Lord should deliver them before me, then will I be your head.
10 Dattawan Gileyad suka ce, “Ubangiji ne shaidanmu; za mu yi duk abin da ka ce.”
And the elders of Galaad said to Jephthae, The Lord be witness between us, if we shall not do according to your word.
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.
And Jephthae went with the elders of Galaad, and the people made him head and ruler over them: and Jephthae spoke all his words before the Lord in Massepha.
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 Jephthae sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have I to do with you, that you have come against me to fight in 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 said to the messengers of Jephthae, Because Israel took my land when he went up out of Egypt, from Arnon to Jaboc, and to Jordan: now then return them peaceably and I will depart.
14 Yefta ya sāke aikan jakadu wurin sarki,
And Jephthae again sent messengers to 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 said to him, Thus says Jephthae, Israel took not 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.
for in their going up out of Egypt Israel went in the wilderness as far as the sea of Siph, and came to Cades.
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.
And Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, I will pass, if it please you, by your land: and the king of Edom complied not: and [Israel] also sent to the king of Moab, and he did not consent; and Israel sojourned in Cades.
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.
And [they] journeyed in the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab: and they came by the east of the land of Moab, an encamped in the country beyond Arnon, and came not within the borders of Moab, for Arnon [is] 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 to Seon king of the Amorite, king of Esbon, and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray you, by your land to our 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.
And Seon did not trust Israel to pass by his coast; and Seon gathered all his people, and they encamped at Jasa; and he set the battle in array 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 the Lord God of Israel delivered Seon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck him; and Israel inherited all the land of the Amorite who lived in that land,
22 suka ƙwace dukan yankin Amoriyawa tun daga ƙasar Arnon zuwa Yabbok, daga hamada har zuwa Urdun.
from Arnon and to Jaboc, and from the wilderness to 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?
And now the Lord God of Israel has removed the Amorite from before his people Israel, and shall you inherit his [land]?
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.
Will you not inherit those possessions which Chamos your god shall cause you to inherit; and shall not we inherit the [land of] all those whom the Lord our God has removed from before you?
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 are you any better than Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab? did he indeed fight with Israel, or indeed make war with him,
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?
when [Israel] lived in Esebon and in its coasts, and in the land of Aroer and in its coasts, and in all the cities by Jordan, three hundred years? and therefore did you not recover them in 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.”
And now I have not sinned against you, but you wrong me in preparing war against me: may the Lord the Judge 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.
But the king of the children of Ammon listened not to the words of Jephthae, which he sent to 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.
And the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthae, and he passed over Galaad, and Manasse, and passed by the watch-tower of Galaad to the other side of the children of Ammon.
30 Yefta kuwa ya yi wa’adi da Ubangiji ya ce, “In ka ba da Ammonawa a hannuwana,
And Jephthae vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If you will 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 come to pass that whoever shall first come out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, he shall be the Lord's: I will offer him up for a whole burnt offering.
32 Sa’an nan Yefta ya haye zuwa wajen Ammonawa don yaƙi da su. Ubangiji kuwa ya ba da su a hannuwansa.
And Jephthae advanced to meet the sons of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord 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 struck them from Aroer till [one] comes to Arnon, in number twenty cities, and as far as Ebelcharmim, with a very great destruction: and the children of Ammon were straitened 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 Jephthae came to Massepha to his house; and behold, his daughter came forth to meet him with timbrels and dances; and she was his only child, he had not another son or 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 tore his garments, and said, Ah, ah, my daughter, you have indeed troubled me, and you were the cause of my trouble; and I have opened my mouth against you to the Lord, and I shall not be able to return from it.
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 to him, Father, have you opened your mouth to the Lord? Do to me accordingly as [the word] went out of your mouth, in that the Lord has wrought vengeance for you on your enemies of 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 to her father, Let my father now do this thing: let me alone for two months, and I will go up and down on the mountains, and I will 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 went, and her companions, and she bewailed her virginity on 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 the two months that she returned to her father; and he performed upon her his vow which he vowed; and she knew no man:
40 cewa kowace shekara’yan mata sukan fita kwana huɗu don yin bikin tunawa da’yar Yefta mutumin Gileyad.
and it was an ordinance in Israel, [That] the daughters of Israel went from year to year to bewail the daughter of Jephthae the Galaadite for four days in a year.
