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
Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
2 (ya yi haka ne domin yă koya wa zuriyar Isra’ilawa waɗanda ba su taɓa yin yaƙi a dā ba),
only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it:
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.
namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites who lived on Mount 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.
They were left, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would listen to the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
5 Isra’ilawa suka zauna tare da Kan’aniyawa da Hittiyawa, Amoriyawa, Ferizziyawa, Hiwiyawa da kuma Yebusiyawa.
The children of Israel lived among the Canaanites, the Hethites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the 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 their daughters to be their wives, and 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.
The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baals and the Asheroth.
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.
Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan Rishathaim king of Aram Naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan Rishathaim 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.
When the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother; and he obeyed him.
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 on him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan Rishathaim.
11 Saboda haka ƙasar ta zauna da lafiya shekara arba’in har sai da Otniyel ɗan Kenaz ya rasu.
The land had rest forty years. And Othniel the 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.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was 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.
He gathered to him the people of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and struck Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
14 Isra’ilawa suka zama bayin Eglon sarkin Mowab shekara goma sha takwas.
The children of Israel served Eglon the 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.
But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a savior, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed. The children of Israel sent tribute by him to Eglon the 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.
Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, eighteen inches in length; and he girded it under his clothing on his right thigh.
17 Ya kai wa Eglon sarkin Mowab harajin, wanda yake mai ƙiba ne.
He offered the tribute to Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
18 Bayan Ehud ya ba da harajin, sai ya sallame mutanen da suka ɗauko harajin.
When he had made an end of offering the tribute, he sent away the people who bore the tribute.
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 he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, "I have a secret message for you, O king." The king said, "Keep silence." All who stood by him went out from 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,
Ehud came to him; and he was sitting by himself alone in the cool upper room. Ehud said, "I have a message from God to you, O king." He arose out of his seat.
21 Ehud ya kai hannun hagunsa, ya zaro takobi daga cinyar ƙafar damansa ya soki sarki a ciki.
And it happened as he rose up that Ehud put forth his left hand and took the sword from his right thigh and thrust it into his belly.
22 Har ƙotar ma ta shige ciki, takobin kuma ya fito ta bayansa. Ehud bai zare takobin ba, kitse kuwa ya rufe shi.
And the handle also went in after the blade; and the fat closed on the blade, for he didn't draw the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
23 Sa’an nan Ehud ya fita daga shirayin; ya rufe ƙofar ɗakin saman, ya kuma kulle su.
Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper room on him, and locked them.
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.”
Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and look, the doors of the upper room were locked; and they said, "Surely he is covering his feet in the upper room."
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.
They waited until they were ashamed; and look, he did not open the doors of the upper room: therefore they took the key, and opened them, and look, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
26 Yayinda suke fama jira, Ehud ya riga ya yi gaba. Ya bi ta wajen gumaka zuwa Seyira.
Ehud escaped while they waited, and passed beyond the quarries, 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.
It happened, when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them.
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.
He said to them, "Follow after me; for the LORD has delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand." They went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and did not allow a man to pass over.
29 A lokacin sun kashe mutanen Mowab dubu goma, dukansu jarumawa da masu ji da ƙarfi; ba ko ɗaya da ya tsira.
They struck of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valor; and there escaped not a man.
30 A wannan rana aka mai da Mowab bayin Isra’ila, ƙasar kuwa ta sami zaman lafiya shekara takwas.
So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. Then the land had rest eighty years. And Ehud judged them until he died.
31 Bayan Ehud, sai Shamgar ɗan Anat, wanda ya karkashe Filistiyawa ɗari shida da sandar korar shanun noma, shi ma ya ceci Isra’ila.
And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who alone struck down six hundred men of the Philistines with an oxgoad. And he also saved Israel.
