Abahluleli 11
1 Njalo uJefitha umGileyadi wayeliqhawe elilamandla, wayeyindodana yewule; uGileyadi wasezala uJefitha.
Yefta mutumin Gileyad, jarumi ne ƙwarai. Mahaifinsa ne Gileyad; mahaifiyar kuwa karuwa ce.
2 UmkaGileyadi wasemzalela amadodana; kwathi amadodana omkakhe esekhulile amxotsha uJefitha, athi kuye: Kawuyikudla ilifa endlini kababa, ngoba uyindodana yomunye umfazi.
Matar Gileyad ta haifa masa’ya’ya maza, kuma sa’ad da suka yi girma, sai suka kore Yefta, suka ce “Ba ka da gādo a cikin iyalinmu, domin kai ɗan wata mace ce.”
3 UJefitha wasebalekela abafowabo, wahlala elizweni leTobi. Amadoda ayize asebuthana kuJefitha, aphuma laye.
Saboda haka Yefta ya tsere daga’yan’uwansa ya zauna a ƙasar Tob, inda waɗansu’yan iska suka kewaye shi suka bi shi.
4 Kwasekusithi emva kwezinsuku abantwana bakoAmoni balwa loIsrayeli.
Ana nan, sa’ad da Ammonawa suka kai wa Isra’ilawa hari,
5 Kwasekusithi lapho abantwana bakoAmoni besilwa loIsrayeli, abadala beGileyadi bahamba ukuyathatha uJefitha elizweni leTobi,
dattawan Gileyad suka je suka nemo Yefta daga ƙasar Tob.
6 bathi kuJefitha: Woza ube ngumkhokheli wethu ukuze silwe labantwana bakoAmoni.
Suka ce masa, “Ka zo ka zama mana shugaba, don mu yaƙi Ammonawa.”
7 Kodwa uJefitha wathi kubadala beGileyadi: Lina kalingizondanga yini, langixotsha endlini kababa? Pho, lizelani kimi khathesi nxa selisenhluphekweni?
Yefta ya ce musu, “Ba kun ƙi ni kuka kuma kore ni daga gidan mahaifina ba? Me ya sa kuke zuwa wurina yanzu sa’ad da kuke cikin wahala?”
8 Abadala beGileyadi basebesithi kuJefitha: Ngakho khathesi siyabuyela kuwe ukuze uhambe lathi uyekulwa umelene labantwana bakoAmoni, ube yinhloko yethu phezu kwabo bonke abakhi beGileyadi.
Mutanen Gileyad suka ce masa, “Duk da haka, muna juyo wajenka yanzu, ka zo tare da mu mu yaƙi Ammonawa, za ka kuma zama shugaban duk wanda yake zama a Gileyad.”
9 UJefitha wasesithi kubadala beGileyadi: Uba lingibuyisa ukulwa ngimelene labantwana bakoAmoni, iNkosi ibanikele phambi kwami, mina ngizakuba yinhloko yenu yini?
Yefta ya ce, “A ce kun dawo da ni in yaƙi Ammonawa, Ubangiji kuwa ya ba da su a hannuna, zan zama shugabanku?”
10 Abadala beGileyadi basebesithi kuJefitha: INkosi iyezwa phakathi kwethu, uba singenzi njalo njengokwamazwi akho.
Dattawan Gileyad suka ce, “Ubangiji ne shaidanmu; za mu yi duk abin da ka ce.”
11 UJefitha wasehamba labadala beGileyadi, abantu basebemenza waba yinhloko lomkhokheli phezu kwabo. UJefitha wasekhuluma wonke amazwi akhe phambi kweNkosi eMizipa.
Saboda haka Yefta ya tafi tare da dattawan Gileyad, mutanen kuwa suka naɗa shi shugabansu da kuma sarkinsu. Ya kuwa maimaita dukan maganarsa a gaban Ubangiji a Mizfa.
12 UJefitha wasethuma izithunywa enkosini yabantwana bakoAmoni esithi: Ngilani lawe ukuthi uze kimi ukulwa elizweni lami?
Sa’an nan Yefta ya aiki jakadu zuwa wurin sarkin Ammonawa su tambaya, “Me ya haɗa ka da ni, da ka kawo wa ƙasata yaƙi?”
13 Inkosi yabantwana bakoAmoni yasisithi kuzithunywa zikaJefitha: Ngoba uIsrayeli wathatha ilizwe lami ekwenyukeni kwakhe eGibhithe kusukela eArinoni kuze kube seJaboki kuze kube seJordani; ngakho-ke libuyiseni ngokuthula.
Sarkin Ammonawa ya ce wa jakadu, “Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka fito daga Masar, sun ƙwace mini ƙasa tun daga Arnon zuwa Yabbok, har zuwa Urdun. Yanzu ka mayar mini ita cikin salama.”
14 UJefitha wasephinda ethuma izithunywa futhi enkosini yabantwana bakoAmoni,
Yefta ya sāke aikan jakadu wurin sarki,
15 wathi kuye: Utsho njalo uJefitha: UIsrayeli kalithathanga ilizwe lakoMowabi lelizwe labantwana bakoAmoni,
yana cewa, “Ga abin da Yefta yake faɗi, Isra’ila ba tă ƙwace ƙasar Mowab ko ta Ammonawa ba.
16 kodwa ekwenyukeni kwabo besuka eGibhithe uIsrayeli wahamba edabula enkangala waya eLwandle oluBomvu, wafika eKadeshi.
Amma sa’ad da suka bar Masar, Isra’ila ta bi ta hamada zuwa Jan Teku har suka zo Kadesh.
17 UIsrayeli wasethuma izithunywa enkosini yeEdoma esithi: Ake sedlule sidabule elizweni lakho; kodwa inkosi yeEdoma kayilalelanga. Wathumela njalo enkosini yakoMowabi, kodwa kayivumanga. Ngakho uIsrayeli wahlala eKadeshi.
Sa’an nan Isra’ila ta aiki jakadu zuwa ga sarkin Edom cewa, ‘Ka ba mu izini mu ratsa ƙasarka,’ amma sarkin Edom bai saurara ba. Suka kuma aika wa sarkin Mowab, shi ma ya ƙi. Saboda haka Isra’ila ta zauna a Kadesh.
18 Basebedabula enkangala, balibhoda ilizwe leEdoma lelizwe lakoMowabi, bafika lapho eliphuma khona ilanga kwelizwe lakoMowabi. Bamisa inkamba ngaphetsheya kweArinoni, kodwa kabangenanga emngceleni wakoMowabi, ngoba iArinoni yayingumngcele wakoMowabi.
“Daga can suka ci gaba ta hamada, suka zaga ƙasashen Edom da Mowab, suka wuce ta gabashin ƙasar Mowab, sa’an nan suka yi sansani a ɗaya gefen Arnon. Ba su shiga yankin Mowab ba, gama Arnon ce iyakarta.
19 UIsrayeli wasethuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yamaAmori, inkosi yeHeshiboni; uIsrayeli wathi kuye: Ake sedlule elizweni lakho siye endaweni yami.
“Sa’an nan Isra’ila ta aiki jakadu zuwa ga Sihon sarkin Amoriyawa, wanda yake mulki a Heshbon, ta ce masa, ‘Ka bar mu mu ratsa ƙasarka mu wuce zuwa wurinmu.’
20 Kodwa uSihoni kamthembanga uIsrayeli ukuthi adlule emngceleni wakhe; kodwa uSihoni wabutha bonke abantu bakhe, wamisa inkamba eJahazi, walwa loIsrayeli.
Sihon dai, bai amince da Isra’ila su ratsa ƙasarsa ba. Ya tattara dukan mutanensa suka yi sansani a Yahza suka kuwa yaƙi Isra’ila.
21 Kodwa iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, yanikela uSihoni labo bonke abantu bakhe esandleni sikaIsrayeli, babatshaya. Ngakho uIsrayeli wadla ilifa lelizwe lonke lamaAmori, abahlali balelolizwe.
“Sa’an nan Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, ya ba da Sihon da dukan mutanensa a hannun Isra’ila, suka kuwa ci nasara a kansu. Isra’ila ta ƙwace dukan ƙasar Amoriyawa da suke zaune a ƙasar,
22 Badla ilifa layo yonke imingcele yamaAmori kusukela eArinoni kuze kube seJaboki, njalo kusukela enkangala kuze kube seJordani.
suka ƙwace dukan yankin Amoriyawa tun daga ƙasar Arnon zuwa Yabbok, daga hamada har zuwa Urdun.
23 Khathesi-ke iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, yawaxotsha elifeni amaAmori phambi kwabantu bayo uIsrayeli; kanti wena uzakudla ilifa lalo yini?
“To, da yake Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, ya kori Amoriyawa a gaban mutanensa Isra’ila, wane’yanci kake da shi da za ka karɓe ta?
24 Kawuyikudla yini ilifa lalokhu uKemoshi unkulunkulu wakho akunika ukudla ilifa lakho? Ngakho loba ngubani iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezamxotsha elifeni phambi kwethu, lokhu sizakudla ilifa lakho.
Ba za ka karɓi abin da allahnka Kemosh ya ba ka ba? Haka mu ma, duk abin da Ubangiji Allahnmu ya riga ya ba mu, za mu mallake shi.
25 Pho-ke wena ungcono yini okwedlula uBalaki indodana kaZipori inkosi yakoMowabi? Wake waxabana loIsrayeli; kumbe wake walwa labo yini;
Ka fi Balak ɗan Ziffor, sarkin Mowab ne? Ka taɓa ji ya yi hamayya da Isra’ila ko yă yi yaƙi da su?
26 lapho uIsrayeli esehlala eHeshiboni lemizaneni yayo, leAroweri lemizaneni yayo, lakuyo yonke imizi esekhunjini lweArinoni, iminyaka engamakhulu amathathu? Kungani-ke ungayophulanga ngalesosikhathi?
Shekara ɗari uku Isra’ilawa suka yi zamansu a Heshbon, Arower da ƙauyukan kewayenta da dukan biranen da suke gefen Arnon. Me ya sa ba ka karɓe su a lokacin ba?
27 Ngakho mina kangonanga kuwe, kodwa wena wenza okubi kimi ngokulwa lami; iNkosi uMahluleli kahlulele lamuhla phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli labantwana bakoAmoni.
Ban yi maka laifi ba, amma kana musguna mini ta wurin kawo mini hari. Bari Ubangiji yă zama Alƙali, yă yanke hukunci tsakani Isra’ilawa da Ammonawa.”
28 Kodwa inkosi yabantwana bakoAmoni kayilalelanga amazwi kaJefitha awathumela kuyo.
Duk da haka sarkin Ammonawa bai kula da saƙon da Yefta ya aika ba.
29 UMoya weNkosi wasesiza phezu kukaJefitha, wedlula eGileyadi leManase, wedlula eMizipa yeGileyadi; esuka eMizipa wedlulela kubantwana bakoAmoni.
Sa’an nan Ruhun Ubangiji ya sauko wa Yefta. Sai ya haye Gileyad da Manasse, ya ratsa ta Mizfa zuwa Gileyad, daga can kuma ya kai wa Ammonawa hari.
30 UJefitha wafunga isifungo eNkosini wathi: Uba uzanikela lokunikela abantwana bakoAmoni esandleni sami,
Yefta kuwa ya yi wa’adi da Ubangiji ya ce, “In ka ba da Ammonawa a hannuwana,
31 kuzakuthi loba yikuphi okuphuma eminyango yendlu yami ukungihlangabeza ekubuyeni kwami ngokuthula ngivela kubantwana bakoAmoni, kuzakuba ngokweNkosi, ngizakunikela kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa.
duk abin da ya fara fitowa daga ƙofar gidana don yă tarye ni, sa’ad da na komo daga yaƙi da Ammonawa, zai zama na Ubangiji, zan miƙa shi hadaya ta ƙonawa.”
32 Ngakho uJefitha wasesedlulela ebantwaneni bakoAmoni ukulwa emelene labo; iNkosi yasibanikela esandleni sakhe.
Sa’an nan Yefta ya haye zuwa wajen Ammonawa don yaƙi da su. Ubangiji kuwa ya ba da su a hannuwansa.
33 Wasebatshaya kusukela eAroweri uze ufike eMinithi, imizi engamatshumi amabili, kuze kube seAbeli-Keramimi, ukutshaya okukhulukazi. Ngokunjalo abantwana bakoAmoni behliselwa phansi phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ya hallaka birane ashirin tun daga Arower zuwa yankin Minnit, har zuwa Abel-Keramim. Haka Isra’ila ta cinye Ammonawa ƙaf.
34 UJefitha wasefika eMizipa endlini yakhe. Khangela-ke, indodakazi yakhe yaphuma ukumhlangabeza, ilezigujana, lemigido; yayiyiyo yodwa eyakhe; ngaphandle kwayo wayengelandodana lendodakazi.
Sa’ad da Yefta ya komo gida a Mizfa, wa ya fito yă tarye shi,’yarsa tilo, tana rawa kiɗin ganguna! Ita ce kaɗai’yarsa. Ban da ita ba shi da ɗa ko’ya.
35 Kwasekusithi lapho eyibona wadabula izigqoko zakhe wathi: Maye ndodakazi yami! Ungithobisile kakhulu, njalo wena uphakathi kwabangihluphayo, ngoba mina ngivule umlomo wami eNkosini, ngingeke ngibuyele emuva.
Da ya gan ta, sai ya yayyage tufafinsa ya yi kuka ya ce, “Kaito!’Yata! Kin karya mini gwiwa, kuma na lalace, domin na yi wa’adi ga Ubangiji da ba zan iya in karya ba.”
36 Yasisithi kuye: Baba, uvulile umlomo wakho eNkosini, yenza kimi njengalokho okuphume emlonyeni wakho, lokhu iNkosi ikuphindisele ezitheni zakho, ebantwaneni bakoAmoni.
Ta ce, “Mahaifina, idan ka riga ka yi wa Ubangiji magana, sai ka yi da ni yadda ka yi alkawari, da yake Ubangiji ya ɗau maka fansa a kan Ammonawa.”
37 Yasisithi kuyise: Akungenzele linto: Ngiyekela inyanga ezimbili, ngiye ngehle ezintabeni, ngililele ubuntombi bami, mina labangane bami.
Sai ta kuma ce, “Sai dai, ka biya mini wannan bukata guda. Ka ba ni wata biyu in yi ta yawo da ni da ƙawayena a kan duwatsu mu yi makoki, domin ba zan yi aure ba.”
38 Wasesithi: Hamba. Waseyiyekela ihamba inyanga ezimbili. Yasihamba, yona labangane bayo, yalilela ubuntombi bayo ezintabeni.
Ya ce mata, “Ki tafi,” Ya bar ta tă tafi har wata biyu. Ita da’yan matan suka tafi a kan duwatsu suka yi ta makoki domin ba za tă taɓa aure ba.
39 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwenyanga ezimbili yabuyela kuyise, owenza kuyo isifungo sakhe asifungayo; yona kayiyazanga indoda. Kwasekusiba ngumkhuba koIsrayeli:
Bayan watanni biyu ɗin sai ta komo wurin mahaifinta ya kuwa yi da ita yadda ya yi wa’adi. Ita kuwa ba tă taɓa san namiji ba. Wannan ya zama al’ada a Isra’ila,
40 Iminyaka ngeminyaka amadodakazi akoIsrayeli ayehamba ukuyakhumbula indodakazi kaJefitha umGileyadi insuku ezine ngomnyaka.
cewa kowace shekara’yan mata sukan fita kwana huɗu don yin bikin tunawa da’yar Yefta mutumin Gileyad.
