Mahukunta 2
1 Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya haura daga Gilgal zuwa Bokim ya ce, “Na hauro da ku daga Masar zuwa ƙasar da na rantse zan ba wa kakanninku. Na ce, ‘Ba zan taɓa tā da yarjejjeniyata da ku ba,
And an Angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to the Place of Weeping, and he said: “I led you away from Egypt, and I led you into the land, about which I swore to your fathers. And I promised that I would not nullify my covenant with you, even forever:
2 ku kuma kada ku shiga wata yarjejjeniya da mazaunan ƙasan nan, sai dai za ku rurrushe bagadansu.’ Duk da haka ba ku yi biyayya mini ba. Me ya sa kuka yi haka?
but only if you would not form a pact with the inhabitants of this land. Instead, you should overturn their altars. Yet you were not willing to listen to my voice. Why have you done this?
3 Saboda haka ina gaya muku cewa ba zan kore su a gabanku ba; za su zama muku ƙaya, gumakansu kuma za su zama muku tarko.”
For this reason, I am not willing to destroy them before your face, so that you may have enemies, and so that their gods may be your ruin.”
4 Da mala’ikan Ubangiji ya faɗa wa dukan Isra’ilawa waɗannan abubuwa, sai mutane suka yi kuka mai zafi,
And when the Angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, they lifted up their voice, and they wept.
5 sai suka sa wa wannan wuri suna, Bokim. A nan suka miƙa hadaya a gaban Ubangiji.
And the name of that place was called, the Place of Weeping, or the Place of Tears. And they immolated victims to the Lord in that place.
6 Bayan Yoshuwa ya sallami Isra’ilawa, sai suka tafi don su mallaki ƙasar, kowa da nasa gādon.
Then Joshua dismissed the people, and the sons of Israel went away, each one to his own possession, so that they might obtain it.
7 Mutane suka bauta wa Ubangiji duk tsawon kwanakin Yoshuwa da na dattawan da suka rayu bayansa waɗanda suka ga manyan abubuwan da Ubangiji ya yi wa Isra’ila.
And they served the Lord, during all his days, and during all the days of the elders, who lived for a long time after him, and who knew all the works of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
8 Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, bawan Ubangiji, ya mutu yana da shekara ɗari da goma.
Then Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.
9 Aka binne shi a ƙasar gādonsa, a Timnat Heres a ƙasar tudu ta Efraim, arewa da Dutsen Ga’ash.
And they buried him in the parts of his possession at Timnath-Serah, on Mount Ephraim, before the northern side of Mount Gaash.
10 Bayan tsaran nan duka suka rasu, sai wata tsara ta taso wadda ba tă san Ubangiji ko abin da ya yi wa Isra’ila ba.
And that entire generation was gathered to their fathers. And there rose up others, who had not known the Lord and the works that he had done for Israel.
11 Sai Isra’ilawa suka yi mugaye abubuwa a gaban Ubangiji suka kuma bauta Ba’al.
And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they served the Baals.
12 Suka yashe Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu, wanda ya fitar da su daga Masar. Suka bi suka kuma bauta alloli dabam-dabam na mutanen da suke kewaye da su. Suka tsokani Ubangiji ya yi fushi
And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had led them away from the land of Egypt. And they followed foreign gods and the gods of the peoples who were living around them, and they adored them. And they provoked the Lord to wrath,
13 domin sun bar shi suka bauta wa Ba’al da Ashtarot.
forsaking him, and serving Baal and Ashtaroth.
14 Cikin fushinsa a kan Isra’ila Ubangiji ya ba da su ga hannun waɗanda suka kawo musu hari suka washe su. Ya sayar da su ga abokan gābansu da suke kewaye da su, waɗanda ba za su iya yin tsayayya da su ba.
And the Lord, having become angry against Israel, delivered them into the hands of plunderers, who seized them and sold them to the enemies that were living on all sides. Neither were they able to withstand their adversaries.
15 Duk sa’ad da Isra’ila suka fita yaƙi, Ubangiji yakan yi gāba da su don a ci su a yaƙi, kamar dai yadda ya rantse musu. Suka kuwa shiga wahala ƙwarai.
Instead, wherever they wanted to go, the hand of the Lord was upon them, just as he said and just as he swore to them. And they were greatly afflicted.
16 Sa’an nan Ubangiji ya naɗa mahukunta, waɗanda suka cece su daga hannun waɗannan musu hari.
And the Lord raised up judges, who would free them from the hands of their oppressors. But they were not willing to listen to them.
17 Duk da haka ba su saurari mahukuntansu ba amma sai suka shiga ha’inci da waɗansu alloli suka kuma bauta musu. Ba kamar kakanninsu ba, nan da nan suka kauce daga hanyar da kakanninsu suka bi, hanyar biyayya ga umarnan Ubangiji.
Fornicating with foreign gods and adoring them, they quickly deserted the way along which their fathers had advanced. And having heard the commandments of the Lord, they did all things to the contrary.
18 Duk sa’ad da Ubangiji ya naɗa musu mahukunci, yakan kasance tare da mahukuncin, yă kuma cece su daga hannun abokan gāba, muddin mahukuncin yana a raye; gama Ubangiji yakan ji tausayinsu yayinda suke gunaguni ƙarƙashin waɗanda suka danne su suke kuma gasa musu azaba.
And while the Lord was raising up the judges, in their days, he was moved to mercy, and he listened to the groaning of the afflicted, and he freed them from the slaughter of their oppressors.
19 Amma sa’ad da mahukuncin ya mutu, mutanen suka koma hanyar da ta fi ta kakanninsu muni, sukan bi waɗansu alloli suna bauta musu. Suka ƙi barin mugun ayyukansu da taurin zuciyarsu.
But after a judge had died, they turned back, and they were doing much worse things than their fathers had done, following strange gods, serving them, and adoring them. They did not abandon their pursuits and their very stubborn way, by which they were accustomed to walk.
20 Saboda haka sai Ubangiji ya fusata da Isra’ila ya ce, “Domin wannan al’umma ta tā da yarjejjeniyar da na yi da kakanninsu ba su kuwa saurare ni ba,
And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he said: “For this people has made void my covenant, which I had formed with their fathers, and they have despised listening to my voice.
21 ba zan ƙara kori wata al’ummar da Yoshuwa ya bari sa’ad da ya rasu ba.
And so, I will not destroy the nations that Joshua left behind when he died,
22 Zan yi amfani da su in gwada Isra’ila in ga ko za su bi hanyar Ubangiji su kuma yi tafiya a cikinta kamar yadda kakanninsu suka yi.”
so that, by them, I may test Israel, as to whether or not they will keep the way of the Lord, and walk in it, just as their fathers kept it.”
23 Ubangiji ya bar waɗannan al’ummai su kasance; bai kore su nan take ta wurin ba da su a hannun Yoshuwa ba.
Therefore, the Lord left all these nations, and he was not willing to quickly overthrow them, nor did he deliver them into the hands of Joshua.
