Mahukunta 8
1 To, mutanen Efraim suka ce wa Gideyon, “Me ya sa ka yi mana haka? Me ya sa ba ka kira mu lokacin da ka tafi yaƙi da Midiyawa ba?” Suka zarge shi sosai.
And the men of Ephraim said to Gedeon, What [is] this [that] you have done to us, in that you did not call us when you went to fight with Madiam? and they chode with him sharply.
2 Amma ya ce musu, “Me na yi da za a iya kwatanta da abin da kuka yi? Ashe, kalar inabin da Efraim ta yi bai fi dukan girbin inabin da Abiyezer suka yi ba?
And he said to them, What have I now done in comparison of you? [is] not the gleaning of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
3 Allah ya ba da Oreb da Zeyib, shugabannin Midiyawa a hannuwanku. Me na yi da ya fi naku? Da ya faɗi haka sai hankalinsu ya kwanta.”
The Lord has delivered into your hand the princes of Madiam, Oreb and Zeb; and what could I do in comparison of you? Then was their spirit calmed toward him, when he spoke this word.
4 Gideyon da mutanensa ɗari uku, sun gaji, duk da haka suka yi ta fafarar, suka zo Urdun suka haye shi.
And Gedeon came to Jordan, and went over, himself and the three hundred with him, hungry, yet pursuing.
5 Ya ce wa mutanen Sukkot, “Ku ba wa mutanena burodi; sun gaji, har yanzu ina fafarar Zeba da Zalmunna, sarakunan Midiyawa.”
And he said to the men of Socchoth, Give, I pray you, bread to feed this people that follow me; because they are faint, and behold, I am following after Zebee and Salmana, kings of Madiam.
6 Amma shugabannin Sukkot suka ce, “Ka kama Zeba da Zalmunna ko ne? Don me za mu ba wa mayaƙanka burodi?”
And the princes of Socchoth said, [Are] the hands of Zebee and Salmana now in your hand, that we should give bread to your host?
7 Sai Gideyon ya ce, “Haka ko? To, sa’ad da Ubangiji ya ba da Zeba da Zalmunna a hannuna, zan tsattsaga jikinku da ƙayayyuwan jeji.”
And Gedeon said, Therefore when the Lord gives Zebee and Salmana into my hand, then will I tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and the Barkenim.
8 Daga nan ya wuce zuwa Fenuwel ya yi irin roƙon nan, amma suka amsa yadda mutanen Sukkot suka yi.
And he went up thence to Phanuel, and spoke to them likewise: and the men of Phanuel answered him as the men of Socchoth [had] answered him.
9 Saboda haka sai ya ce wa mutanen Fenuwel, “Sa’ad da na dawo da nasara zan rushe wannan hasumiya.”
And Gedeon said to the men of Phanuel, When I return in peace, I will break down this tower.
10 To, Zeba da Zalmunna suna a Karkor da mayaƙa wajen dubu goma sha biyar, abin da ya rage ke nan na mayaƙan gabashi; mayaƙa masu takobi dubu ɗari da ashirin ne suka mutu.
And Zebee and Salmana [were] in Carcar, and their host [was] with them, about fifteen thousand, all that were left of all the host of the aliens; and they that fell [were] a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew the sword.
11 Gideyon ya haura ta hanyar makiyaya, gabas da Noba, da kuma Yogbeha, ya fāɗa wa mayaƙan ta yadda ba su zata ba.
And Gedeon went up by the way of them that lived in tents, eastward of Nabai and Jegebal; and he struck the host, and the host was secure.
12 Zeba da Zalmunna, sarakunan biyu na Midiyawa suka tsere, amma ya bi su ya kama, ya fatattaki dukan mayaƙansu.
And Zebee and Salmana fled; and he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Madiam, Zebee and Salmana, and discomfited all the army.
13 Sa’an nan Gideyon ɗan Yowash ya komo daga yaƙi ta Hanyar Heres.
And Gedeon the son of Joas returned from the battle, down from the battle of Ares.
14 Ya kama wani saurayin Sukkot ya tambaye shi, saurayin kuwa ya rubuta masa dukan sunayen shugabanni saba’in da bakwai na Sukkot, da dattawan garin.
And he took prisoner a young lad of the men of Socchoth, and questioned him; and he wrote to him the names of the princes of Socchoth and of their elders, seventy-seven men.
15 Sa’an nan Gideyon ya zo ya ce wa mutanen Sukkot, “To, ga Zeba da Zalmunna, waɗanda kuka yi mini ba’a kuna cewa, ‘Ka kama Zeba da Zalmunna ko ne? Me zai sa mu ba mutanenka da suka gaji burodi?’”
And Gedeon came to the princes of Socchoth, and said, Behold Zebee and Salmana, about whom you reproached me, saying, [Are] the hands of Zebee and Salmana now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men that are faint?
16 Ya kwashe dattawan garin ya koya wa mutanen Sukkot hankali ta wurin hukunta su da ƙayayyuwan hamada.
And he took the elders of the city with the thorns of the wilderness and the Barkenim, and with them he tore the men of the city.
17 Ya rushe hasumiyar Fenuwel ya kuma karkashe mutanen garin.
And he overthrew the tower of Phanuel, and killed the men of the city.
18 Sa’an nan ya ce wa Zeba da Zalmunna, “Waɗanne irin mutane ne kuka karkashe a Tabor.” Suka ce, “Mutane kamar ka ne kowane kamar ɗan sarki.”
And he said to Zebee and Salmana, Where [are] the men whom you killed in Thabor? and they said, As you, so [were] they, according to the likeness of the son of a king.
19 Gideyon ya ce, “Waɗannan’yan’uwana ne,’ya’yan mahaifiyata. Muddin Ubangiji yana a raye, da a ce kun bar su da rai, da ba zan kashe ku ba.”
And Gedeon said, They were my brethren and the sons of my mother: [as] the Lord lives, if you had preserved them alive, I would not have slain you.
20 Da ya juya wajen Yeter, ɗan farinsa, sai ya ce, “Ka kashe su!” Amma Yeter bai zāre takobinsa ba, domin shi yaro ne kawai kuma yana tsoro.
And he said to Jether his firstborn, Rise and kill them; but the lad drew not his sword, for he was afraid, for he was yet very young.
21 Zeba da Zalmunna suka ce masa, “Zo, ka yi da kanka. ‘Yadda mutum yake haka ƙarfinsa.’” Ta haka Gideyon ya matso gaba ya kashe su, ya ɗauki kayan ado daga wuyar raƙumansu.
And Zebee and Salmana said, Rise you and fall upon us, for your power [is] as that of a man; and Gedeon arose, and killed Zebee and Salmana: and he took the round ornaments that were on the necks of their camels.
22 Isra’ilawa suka ce wa Gideyon, “Ka yi mulkinmu, kai, ɗanka da jikanka, domin ka cece mu daga hannun Midiyawa.”
And the men of Israel said to Gedeon, Rule, [my] lord, over us, both you, and your son, and your son's son; for you have saved us out of the hand of Madiam.
23 Amma Gideyon ya ce musu, “Ni, ko ɗana, ba za mu yi mulkinku ba. Ubangiji ne zai yi mulkinku.”
And Gedeon said to them, I will not rule, and my son shall not rule among you; the Lord shall rule over you.
24 Kuma ya ce, “Ina da roƙo guda ɗaya, cewa kowannenku ya ba ni’yan kunne daga rabon ganima.” (Al’adar mutanen Ishmayel ce su sa’yan kunnen zinariya.)
And Gedeon said to them, I will make a request of you, and do you give me every man an earring out of his spoils: for they had golden earrings, for they were Ismaelites.
25 Suka ce, “Za mu yi farin cikin ba ka su.” Saboda haka suka shimfiɗa mayafi, kowanne ya sa ɗan kunne ɗaya daga ganimar.
And they said, We will certainly give them: and he opened his garment, and each man cast therein an earring of his spoils.
26 Nauyin’yan kunnen zinariyar ya kai shekel ɗari goma sha bakwai, ban da kayan ado, abin wuya da tufafin shunayya waɗanda sarakuna Midiyawa suke sawa ko sarƙoƙin da suke wuyar raƙumansu.
And the weight of the golden earrings which he asked, was a thousand and seven hundred pieces of gold, besides the crescents, and the chains, and the garments, and the purple cloths that were on the kings of Madiam, and besides the chains that were on the necks of their camels.
27 Gideyon ya efod da zinariyar, wanda ya ajiye a Ofra, garinsa. Dukan Isra’ila suka shiga yin karuwanci ta wurin yin sujada a can, ya kuwa zama wa Gideyon da dukan iyalinsa tarko.
And Gedeon made an ephod of it, an set it in his city in Ephratha; and all Israel went there a whoring after it, and it became a stumbling block to Gedeon and his house.
28 Da haka Isra’ilawa suka mallaki Midiyawa ba su kuma sāke tā da kai ba. A zamanin Gideyon ƙasar ta sami zaman lafiya har shekara arba’in.
And Madiam, was straitened before the children of Israel, and they did not lift up their head any more; and the land had rest forty years in the days of Gedeon.
29 Yerub-Ba’al ɗan Yowash ya koma gida don yă zauna.
And Jerobaal the son of Joas went and sat in his house.
30 Yana da’ya’ya saba’in maza da ya haifa, gama yana da mata da yawa.
And Gedeon had seventy sons begotten of his body, for he had many wives.
31 Yana kuma da ƙwarƙwara wadda take Shekem, ita ma ta haifa masa ɗa wanda ya ba shi suna Abimelek.
And his concubine was in Sychem, and she also bore him a son, and gave him the name Abimelech.
32 Gideyon ɗan Yowash ya rasu da kyakkyawan tsufa aka kuma binne shi a kabarin Yowash mahaifinsa a Ofra na mutanen Abiyezer.
And Gedeon son of Joas died in his city, and he was buried in the sepulchre of Joas his father in Ephratha of Abi-Esdri.
33 Ba a daɗe da rasuwar Gideyon ba, sai Isra’ila ta sāke shiga karuwanci suna bauta wa Ba’al. Suka kafa Ba’al-Berit yă zama musu allahnsu ba kuma
And it came to pass when Gedeon was dead, that the children of Israel turned, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made for themselves a covenant with Baal that he should be their god.
34 tuna da Ubangiji Allahnsu, wanda ya cece su daga hannuwan abokan gābansu a kowane gefe ba.
And the children of Israel remembered not the Lord their God who had delivered them out of the hand of all that afflicted them round about.
35 Suka kāsa nuna alheri ga gidan Yerub-Ba’al (wato, Gideyon) saboda abubuwa masu alherin da ya yi musu.
And they did not deal mercifully with the house of Jerobaal, (the same is Gedeon) according to all the good which he did to Israel.
