Mahukunta 3
1 Waɗannan su ne al’umman da Ubangiji ya bari don yă gwada duk waɗannan Isra’ilawan da ba su san yaƙi a Kan’ana ba
These are the nations that the LORD left to test all the Israelites who had not known any of the wars in Canaan,
2 (ya yi haka ne domin yă koya wa zuriyar Isra’ilawa waɗanda ba su taɓa yin yaƙi a dā ba),
if only to teach warfare to the subsequent generations of Israel, especially to those who had not known it formerly:
3 sarakuna biyar na Filistiyawa, dukan Kan’aniyawa, Sidoniyawa, da kuma Hiwiyawan da suke zaune a duwatsun Lebanon daga Dutsen Ba’al-Hermon zuwa Lebo Hamat.
the five rulers of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived in the mountains of Lebanon from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath.
4 An bar su domin su gwada Isra’ilawa a ga ko za su yi biyayya da umarnin Ubangiji, wanda ya ba wa kakanninsu ta wurin Musa.
These nations were left to test the Israelites, to find out whether they would keep the commandments of the LORD, which He had given their fathers through Moses.
5 Isra’ilawa suka zauna tare da Kan’aniyawa da Hittiyawa, Amoriyawa, Ferizziyawa, Hiwiyawa da kuma Yebusiyawa.
Thus the Israelites continued to live among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
6 Suka auri’ya’yansu mata, su ma suka bar’ya’yansu maza suka auri’ya’yansu mata, suka kuma yi wa gumakansu sujada.
And they took the daughters of these people in marriage, gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
7 Isra’ilawa suka aikata mugunta a gaban Ubangiji; suka manta da Ubangiji Allahnsu suka kuma bauta wa Ba’al da Ashera.
So the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD; they forgot the LORD their God and served the Baals and the Asherahs.
8 Fushin Ubangiji kuwa ya yi ƙuna a kan Isra’ila har ya sayar da su ga Kushan-Rishatayim sarkin Aram-Naharayim, a wurinsa ne Isra’ilawa suka zama bayi shekara takwas.
Then the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram-naharaim, and the Israelites served him eight years.
9 Amma da suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji, sai ya tad musu da mai ceto, Otniyel ɗan Kenaz, ƙanen Kaleb wanda ya cece su.
But when the Israelites cried out to the LORD, He raised up Othniel son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz as a deliverer to save them.
10 Ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko masa, domin yă zama mahukuncin Isra’ila yă kuma je yaƙi. Ubangiji ya bayar da Kushan-Rishatayim sarkin Aram a hannun Otniyel, ya kuwa sha ƙarfinsa.
The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he became Israel’s judge and went out to war. And the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram into the hand of Othniel, who prevailed against him.
11 Saboda haka ƙasar ta zauna da lafiya shekara arba’in har sai da Otniyel ɗan Kenaz ya rasu.
So the land had rest for forty years, until Othniel son of Kenaz died.
12 Isra’ilawa suka sāke aikata mugayen ayyuka a gaban Ubangiji, saboda sun aikata wannan mugunta sai Ubangiji ya ba wa Eglon sarkin Mowab ƙarfi a kan Isra’ila.
Once again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. So He gave Eglon king of Moab power over Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
13 Da ya sami Ammonawa da Amalekawa suka haɗa hannu tare, sai Eglon ya tafi ya auka wa Isra’ila, suka ƙwace Birnin Dabino.
After enlisting the Ammonites and Amalekites to join forces with him, Eglon attacked and defeated Israel, taking possession of the City of Palms.
14 Isra’ilawa suka zama bayin Eglon sarkin Mowab shekara goma sha takwas.
The Israelites served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
15 Isra’ilawa suka sāke yin kuka ga Ubangiji, ya kuwa ba su mai ceto, Ehud, wani bahago, ɗan Gera daga kabilar Benyamin. Isra’ilawa suka aike shi da haraji wurin Eglon sarkin Mowab.
And again they cried out to the LORD, and He raised up Ehud son of Gera, a left-handed Benjamite, as their deliverer. So they sent him with tribute to Eglon king of Moab.
16 To, Ehud ya riga ya ƙera takobi mai kaifi biyu mai tsawo wajen kamu ɗaya da rabi, wanda ya yi ɗamara da shi a cinyarsa ta dama ƙarƙashin rigarsa.
Now Ehud had made for himself a double-edged sword a cubit long. He strapped it to his right thigh under his cloak
17 Ya kai wa Eglon sarkin Mowab harajin, wanda yake mai ƙiba ne.
and brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab, who was an obese man.
18 Bayan Ehud ya ba da harajin, sai ya sallame mutanen da suka ɗauko harajin.
After Ehud had finished presenting the tribute, he ushered out those who had carried it.
19 A wajen gumaka kusa da Gilgal, shi kansa ya juya ya koma ya ce, “Ranka yă daɗe, ina da saƙo na asiri dominka.” Sarkin ya ce, “Ku ba mu wuri!” Sai dukan fadawansa suka fita.
But upon reaching the idols near Gilgal, he himself turned back and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” “Silence,” said the king, and all his attendants left him.
20 Sai Ehud ya matso yayinda shi kuwa yake zaune shi kaɗai a ɗakin sama mai sanyi a fadansa ya ce, “Ina da saƙo daga wurin Allah dominka.” Sarki ya tashi daga kujerarsa,
Then Ehud approached him while he was sitting alone in the coolness of his upper room. “I have a word from God for you,” Ehud said, and the king rose from his seat.
21 Ehud ya kai hannun hagunsa, ya zaro takobi daga cinyar ƙafar damansa ya soki sarki a ciki.
And Ehud reached with his left hand, pulled the sword from his right thigh, and plunged it into Eglon’s belly.
22 Har ƙotar ma ta shige ciki, takobin kuma ya fito ta bayansa. Ehud bai zare takobin ba, kitse kuwa ya rufe shi.
Even the handle sank in after the blade, and Eglon’s fat closed in over it, so that Ehud did not withdraw the sword from his belly. And Eglon’s bowels emptied.
23 Sa’an nan Ehud ya fita daga shirayin; ya rufe ƙofar ɗakin saman, ya kuma kulle su.
Then Ehud went out through the porch, closing and locking the doors of the upper room behind him.
24 Bayan da ya tafi, bayin sarki suka zo suka tarar duk ƙofofin ɗakin sama suna kulle, suka ce, “Wataƙila yana bayan gari ne a ɗakin ciki.”
After Ehud was gone, Eglon’s servants came in and found the doors of the upper room locked. “He must be relieving himself in the cool room,” they said.
25 Suka yi ta jira har suka gaji. Da suka ga dai bai buɗe ƙofar ba, sai suka ɗauki mabuɗi, suka buɗe. Sai ga shugabansu a ƙasa matacce.
So they waited until they became worried and saw that he had still not opened the doors of the upper room. Then they took the key and opened the doors—and there was their lord lying dead on the floor.
26 Yayinda suke fama jira, Ehud ya riga ya yi gaba. Ya bi ta wajen gumaka zuwa Seyira.
Ehud, however, had escaped while the servants waited. He passed by the idols and escaped to Seirah.
27 Da ya iso can, sai ya busa ƙaho a ƙasar tudu ta Efraim, Isra’ilawa kuma suka gangaro tare da shi daga tuddai, shi kuwa yana jagorarsu.
On arriving in Seirah, he blew the ram’s horn throughout the hill country of Ephraim. The Israelites came down with him from the hills, and he became their leader.
28 Ya umarce su ya ce, “Ku bi ni, gama Ubangiji ya ba Mowab abokin gābanku a hannunku.” Haka suka gangaro tare da shi suna mallaki mashigin Urdun da ta shiga zuwa Mowab, ba su yarda wani ya haye ba.
“Follow me,” he told them, “for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.” So they followed him down and seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to cross over.
29 A lokacin sun kashe mutanen Mowab dubu goma, dukansu jarumawa da masu ji da ƙarfi; ba ko ɗaya da ya tsira.
At that time they struck down about ten thousand Moabites, all robust and valiant men. Not one of them escaped.
30 A wannan rana aka mai da Mowab bayin Isra’ila, ƙasar kuwa ta sami zaman lafiya shekara takwas.
So Moab was subdued under the hand of Israel that day, and the land had rest for eighty years.
31 Bayan Ehud, sai Shamgar ɗan Anat, wanda ya karkashe Filistiyawa ɗari shida da sandar korar shanun noma, shi ma ya ceci Isra’ila.
After Ehud came Shamgar son of Anath. And he too saved Israel, striking down six hundred Philistines with an oxgoad.
