Mahukunta 1
1 Bayan da Yoshuwa ya rasu, Isra’ilawa suka tambayi Ubangiji suka ce, “Wane ne zai fara tafiya don yă yaƙi Kan’aniyawa dominmu?”
Now after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel made request to the Lord, saying, Who is to go up first to make war for us against the Canaanites?
2 Sai Ubangiji ya ce, “Yahuda zai tafi. Na riga na ba da ƙasar a hannunsu.”
And the Lord said, Judah is to go up: see, I have given the land into his hands.
3 Sa’an nan mutane Yahuda suka ce wa mutanen Simeyon “Ku zo tare da mu a yankin da aka ba mu rabon mu don mu yaƙi Kan’aniyawa. Mu ma mu bi ku wurin naku.” Saboda haka mutanen Simeyon suka tafi tare da su.
Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.
4 Sa’ad da Yahuda ya fāɗa musu, Ubangiji kuwa ya ba da Kan’aniyawa da Ferizziyawa a hannunsu, suka kuwa kashe mutum dubu goma a Bezek.
And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.
5 A can suka iske Adoni-Bezek, suka yaƙe shi, suka fatattaki Kan’aniyawa da Ferizziyawa.
And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Sai Adoni-Bezek ya gudu, amma suka bi shi suka kama shi, suka yayyanka manyan yatsotsinsa na hannu da na ƙafa.
But Adoni-zedek went in flight; and they went after him and overtook him, and had his thumbs and his great toes cut off.
7 Sa’an nan Adoni-Bezek ya ce, “Sarakuna saba’in waɗanda aka yayyanka manyan yatsotsinsu na hannu da na ƙafa, sun yi kalan abinci a ƙarƙashin teburina. Ga shi yanzu Allah ya rama abin da na yi musu.” Suka zo da shi Urushalima, a can kuwa ya mutu.
And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.
8 Mutanen Yahuda suka yaƙi Urushalima ita ma suka ci ta. Suka karkashe mutanen birnin suka cinna mata wuta.
Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.
9 Bayan wannan, mutanen Yahuda suka gangara suka yaƙi Kan’aniyawan da suke zaune a ƙasar tudu, Negeb, da gindin tuddai a yammanci.
After that the children of Judah went down to make war on the Canaanites living in the hill-country and in the south and in the lowlands.
10 Suka ci gaba suka yaƙi Kan’aniyawan da suke zaune a Hebron (wadda dā ake kira Kiriyat Arba) suka kuma ci Sheshai, Ahiman da Talmai da yaƙi.
And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba: ) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.
11 Daga nan kuma suka ci gaba suka yaƙi mutanen da suke zaune a Debir (da ake kira a dā Kiriyat Sefer).
And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.)
12 Sai Kaleb ya ce, “Duk wanda ya fāɗa wa Kiriyat Sefer ya kuma ci ta da yaƙi, zan ba shi’yata Aksa yă aura.”
And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.
13 Sai Otniyel ɗan Kenaz, ƙanen Kaleb ya ci birnin, saboda haka Kaleb ya ba shi’yarsa Aksa ya aura.
And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.
14 Wata rana da ta zo wurin Otniyel, sai ta zuga shi yă roƙi mahaifinta fili. Sa’ad da ta sauko daga jakinta, sai Kaleb ya ce mata, “Me zan yi miki?”
Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?
15 Sai ta ce, “Ka yi mini alheri na musamman. Da yake ka ba ni ƙasa a Negeb, to, sai ka ba ni maɓulɓulan ruwa kuma.” Sai Kaleb ya ba ta maɓulɓulan bisa da kuma na ƙasa.
And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.
16 Zuriyar surukin Musa, Keniyawa, suka haura daga Birnin dabino tare da mutanen Yahuda don su zauna cikin mutanen Hamadan Yahuda a cikin Negeb kusa da Arad.
Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;
17 Sa’an nan mutanen Yahuda suka tafi tare da’yan’uwansu mutanen Simeyon suka fāɗa wa Kan’aniyawan da suke zaune cikin Zefat, suka kuwa hallaka birnin gaba ɗaya. Saboda haka aka kira wurin Horma.
And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and overcame the Canaanites living in Zephath, and put it under the curse; and he gave the town the name of Hormah.
18 Mutanen Yahuda kuma suka ci Gaza, Ashkelon, da Ekron, kowace birni tare da yankinsa.
Then Judah took Gaza and its limit, and Ashkelon and its limit, and Ekron and its limit.
19 Ubangiji kuwa yana tare da mutane Yahuda. Suka mallaki ƙasar tudu, amma ba su iya suka kori mutanen daga filaye ba, domin suna da keken yaƙin ƙarfe.
And the Lord was with Judah; and he took the hill-country for his heritage; but he was unable to make the people of the valley go out, for they had war-carriages of iron.
20 Yadda Musa ya yi alkawari, sai aka ba Kaleb Hebron, wanda ya kori daga cikinta’ya’ya maza uku na Anak.
And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said; and he took the land of the three sons of Anak, driving them out from there.
21 Ko da yake mutanen Benyamin sun kāsa su kori Yebusiyawa, waɗanda suke zaune a Urushalima; har yă zuwa yau, Yebusiyawa suna zaune a can tare da mutanen Benyamin.
And the children of Judah did not make the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem go out; the Jebusites are still living with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem.
22 To, gidan Yusuf suka auka wa Betel, Ubangiji kuwa yana tare da su.
And the family of Joseph went up against Beth-el, and the Lord was with them.
23 Sa’ad da suka aike mutane don su leƙi asirin Betel (da dā ake kira Luz),
So they sent men to make a search round Beth-el. (Now the name of the town in earlier times was Luz.)
24 ’yan leƙen asirin suka ga wani ya fito daga birnin sai suka ce masa, “Ka nuna mana yadda za mu shiga birnin, mu kuwa za mu yi maka alheri.”
And the watchers saw a man coming out of the town, and said to him, If you will make clear to us the way into the town, we will be kind to you.
25 Saboda haka ya nuna musu, suka kuwa hallaka birnin, suka bar mutumin da dukan iyalinsa da rai.
So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.
26 Sa’an nan ya tafi ƙasar Hittiyawa, inda ya gina birni ya kuma kira shi Luz, haka ake kira birnin har wa yau.
And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day.
27 Amma Manasse ba su kori mutane Bet-Sheyan ko Ta’anak ko Dor ko Ibileyam ko Megiddo tare da ƙauyukansu ba, gama Kan’aniyawa sun dāge su zauna a wannan ƙasa.
And Manasseh did not take away the land of the people of Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, or of Taanach and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Ibleam and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, driving them out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.
28 Sa’ad da Isra’ila ta yi ƙarfi, sai suka tilasta Kan’aniyawa yin aikin gandu amma ba su kore su gaba ɗaya ba.
And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely.
29 Haka Efraim ma bai kori Kan’aniyawa da suke zaune a Gezer ba, amma Kan’aniyawa suka ci gaba da zama tare da su.
And Ephraim did not make the Canaanites who were living in Gezer go out; but the Canaanites went on living in Gezer among them.

Zebulun did not make the people of Kitron or the people of Nahalol go out; but the Canaanites went on living among them and were put to forced work.

And Asher did not take the land of the people of Acco, or Zidon, or Ahlab, or Achzib, or Helbah, or Aphik, or Rehob, driving them out;

But the Asherites went on living among the Canaanites, the people of the land, without driving them out.

Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.

For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work.

And the limit of the Edomites went from the slope of Akrabbim from Sela and up.
