Mahukunta 11
1 Yefta mutumin Gileyad, jarumi ne ƙwarai. Mahaifinsa ne Gileyad; mahaifiyar kuwa karuwa ce.
And Jephthah the Gileadite has been a mighty man of valor, and he [is the] son of a harlot woman; and Gilead begets 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 the wife of Gilead bears sons to him, and the wife’s sons grow up and cast Jephthah out, and say to him, “You do not inherit in the house of our father; for you [are 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.
And Jephthah flees from the face of his brothers, and dwells in the land of Tob; and vain men gather themselves together to Jephthah, and they go out with him.
4 Ana nan, sa’ad da Ammonawa suka kai wa Isra’ilawa hari,
And it comes to pass, after a time, that the sons of Ammon fight with Israel,
5 dattawan Gileyad suka je suka nemo Yefta daga ƙasar Tob.
and it comes to pass, when the sons of Ammon have fought with Israel, that [the] elderly of Gilead go to take Jephthah from the land of Tob;
6 Suka ce masa, “Ka zo ka zama mana shugaba, don mu yaƙi Ammonawa.”
and they say to Jephthah, “Come, and you have been for a captain to us, and we fight against 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 Jephthah says to [the] elderly of Gilead, “Have you not hated me? And you cast me out from the house of my father, and why have you come to me now when you 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] elderly of Gilead say to Jephthah, “Therefore, now, we have turned back to you; and you have gone with us, and have fought against the sons of Ammon, and you have been for head to us—to 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 says to [the] elderly of Gilead, “If you are taking me back to fight against the sons of Ammon, and YHWH has given them before me—am I for a head to you?”
10 Dattawan Gileyad suka ce, “Ubangiji ne shaidanmu; za mu yi duk abin da ka ce.”
And [the] elderly of Gilead say to Jephthah, “YHWH is listening between us—if we do not do so 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 Jephthah goes with [the] elderly of Gilead, and the people set him over them for head and for captain, and Jephthah speaks all his words before YHWH in Mizpeh.
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 sends messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, “What [is this] to me and to you, that you have come to 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 sons of Ammon says to the messengers of Jephthah, “Because Israel took my land in his coming up out of Egypt, from Arnon, and to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan; and now, restore them in peace.”
14 Yefta ya sāke aikan jakadu wurin sarki,
And Jephthah adds yet and sends messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon,
15 yana cewa, “Ga abin da Yefta yake faɗi, Isra’ila ba tă ƙwace ƙasar Mowab ko ta Ammonawa ba.
and says to him, “Thus said Jephthah: Israel did not take the land of Moab, and the land of the sons 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 coming up out of Egypt, Israel goes in the wilderness to the Red Sea, and comes 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.
and Israel sends messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Please let me pass over through your land, and the king of Edom did not listen; and [Israel] has also sent to the king of Moab, and he has not been willing; and Israel abides 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.
and he goes through the wilderness, and goes around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and comes in at the rising of the sun of the land of Moab, and they encamp beyond Arnon, and have not come into the border 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 sends messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and Israel says to him, Please let us pass over through your land, to 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.
and Sihon has not trusted Israel to pass over through his border, and Sihon gathers all his people, and they encamp in Jahaz, and fight with 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 YHWH, God of Israel, gives Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they strike them, and Israel possesses all the land of the Amorite, the inhabitant of that land,
22 suka ƙwace dukan yankin Amoriyawa tun daga ƙasar Arnon zuwa Yabbok, daga hamada har zuwa Urdun.
and they possess all the border of the Amorite from Arnon, and to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness, and to 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?
And now, YHWH, God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorite from the presence of His people Israel, and you would possess it!
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.
That which your god Chemosh causes you to possess—do you not possess it? And all that which our God YHWH has dispossessed from our presence—we possess it.
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 at all better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he strive with Israel at all? Did he fight against them at all?
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?
In Israel’s dwelling in Heshbon and in its towns, and in Aroer and in its towns, and in all the cities which [are] by the sides of Arnon [for] three hundred years—and why have you not delivered 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 I have not sinned against you, and you are doing evil with me—to fight against me. YHWH, the Judge, judges between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon today.”
28 Duk da haka sarkin Ammonawa bai kula da saƙon da Yefta ya aika ba.
And the king of the sons of Ammon has not listened to the words of Jephthah 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 YHWH is on Jephthah, and he passes over Gilead and Manasseh, and passes over Mizpeh of Gilead, and he has passed over from Mizpeh of Gilead to the sons of Ammon.
30 Yefta kuwa ya yi wa’adi da Ubangiji ya ce, “In ka ba da Ammonawa a hannuwana,
And Jephthah vows a vow to YHWH and says, “If You give the sons of Ammon into my hand at all—
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 has been, that which comes out from the doors of my house at all to meet me in my turning back in peace from the sons of Ammon—it has been for YHWH, or I have offered up a burnt-offering for it.”
32 Sa’an nan Yefta ya haye zuwa wajen Ammonawa don yaƙi da su. Ubangiji kuwa ya ba da su a hannuwansa.
And Jephthah passes over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them, and YHWH gives 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 strikes them from Aroer, and to [where] you are going in to Minnith—twenty cities—and to the meadow of the vineyards, [with] a very great striking; and the sons of Ammon are humbled at the presence of the sons 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 comes into Mizpeh, to his house, and behold, his daughter is coming out to meet him with timbrels, and with choruses, and except her alone, he has no 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 comes to pass, when he sees her, that he tears his garments and says, “Aah! My daughter, you have caused me to bend greatly, and you have been among those troubling me; and I have opened my mouth to YHWH, and I am not able to turn 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 says to him, “My father, you have opened your mouth to YHWH, do to me as it has gone out from your mouth, after that YHWH has done vengeance for you on your enemies, on the sons 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 says to her father, “Let this thing be done to me; desist from me [for] two months, and I go on, and have gone down on the hills, and I weep for my virginity—I and my friends.”
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 says, “Go”; and he sends her away [for] two months, and she goes, she and her friends, and she weeps for her virginity on the hills;
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 comes to pass at the end of two months that she turns back to her father, and he does to her his vow which he has vowed, and she did not know a man; and it is a statute in Israel:
40 cewa kowace shekara’yan mata sukan fita kwana huɗu don yin bikin tunawa da’yar Yefta mutumin Gileyad.
from time to time the daughters of Israel go to talk to the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in a year.
