Joshua 24
1 Joshua summoned all the tribes of Israel to Shechem. Then he called the elders, leaders, judges, and officials and they came and stood before the Tabernacle of God.
Yoshuwa ya tattara dukan kabilan Isra’ila a Shekem. Ya aika a kira dattawa, shugabanni, alƙalai da manyan ma’aikatan Isra’ila, suka kai kansu gaban Allah.
2 Joshua said to all the people, “The Lord, the God of Israel, says this: ‘Long, long ago your forefathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River, and they worshiped other gods.
Yoshuwa ya ce wa dukan mutanen, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, ‘Dā can, kakanninku, Tera mahaifin Ibrahim, da Nahor sun zauna a hayin Kogin Yuferites suka yi wa waɗansu alloli sujada.
3 I brought your father Abraham from beyond the Euphrates and led him through all the land of Canaan and gave him many descendants. I gave him Isaac.
Amma na ɗauki mahaifinku Ibrahim, daga ƙasar da take can a hayin Kogin Yuferites, na kawo shi ƙasar Kan’ana, na kuma ba shi’ya’ya masu yawa. Na ba shi Ishaku,
4 I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau. I gave to Esau the hill country of Seir to own, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
ga Ishaku kuwa na ba shi Yaƙub da Isuwa. Na ba Isuwa ƙasar kan tudu ta Seyir, amma Yaƙub da’ya’yansa maza suka gangara zuwa Masar.
5 I sent Moses and Aaron, and I brought plagues on the people of Egypt, and I brought you out.
“‘Sai na aiki Musa da Haruna, na aukar wa Masarawa annobai, ta wurin abin da na yi ne na fitar da ku.
6 Yes, I brought your forefathers out, but when you arrived at the Red Sea the Egyptians were chasing after your forefathers with chariots and horsemen.
Lokacin da na fitar da iyayenku daga Masar, suka zo teku, sai Masarawa suka fafare su da kekunan yaƙi da dawakai har zuwa Jan Teku.
7 Your forefathers called out to the Lord for help, and he placed darkness between you and the Egyptians. Then he brought the sea back over them and they drowned. You saw what I did with your own eyes in Egypt. Then you lived for many years in the wilderness.
Amma suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji don taimako, ya kuwa sa duhu ya raba tsakaninsu da Masarawa; ya sa teku ya rufe Masarawa. Kun gani da idanunku abin da na yi wa Masarawa, sa’an nan kuka zauna a jeji na tsawon lokaci.
8 After that I brought you to the land of the Amorites who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought against you but I handed them over to you to defeat and you took over their land. I destroyed them before you.
“‘Na kawo ku ƙasar Amoriyawa waɗanda suke gabas da Urdun. Suka yi yaƙi da ku, amma na ba da su a hannunku, na hallaka su a gabanku, kuka kuma mallaki ƙasarsu.
9 When Balak, son of Zippor, the king of Moab, wanted to fight against Israel, he sent for Balaam, son of Beor, to come and curse you.
Lokacin da Balak ɗan Ziffor, sarkin Mowab, ya yi shiri yă yaƙi Isra’ila, ya aiki Bala’am ɗan Beyor don yă la’anta ku.
10 But I wasn't willing to listen to Balaam, so instead he blessed you repeatedly, and saved you from Balak.
Amma ban saurari Bala’am ba, saboda haka sai ya ma sa muku albarka, na kuɓutar da ku daga hannunsa.
11 You crossed the Jordan and arrived at Jericho where the men of Jericho fought against you. So did the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
“‘Sai kuka ƙetare Urdun kuka isa Yeriko. Mutanen Yeriko suka yi faɗa da ku, kamar yadda Amoriyawa, Ferizziyawa, Kan’aniyawa, Hittiyawa, Girgashiyawa, Hiwiyawa, da Yebusiyawa suka yi, amma na ba da su a hannunku.
12 But I handed them over to you to defeat. And I sent the hornet before you to drive out the two kings of the Amorites. You did not win using your swords or your bows!
Na aika rina ta kore su a idonku, haka kuma sarakunan Amoriyawan nan. Ba da takobinku ko bakanku ne kuka yi haka ba.
13 I gave you a land you didn't work for and towns you didn't build. Now you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves you didn't plant.’
Na ba ku ƙasar da ba ku yi wata wahala kafin ku samu ba, na ba ku kuma biranen da ba ku gina ba; kuka kuma zauna a cikinsu, kuka ci daga’ya’yan itacensu da’ya’yan zaitun da ba ku ne kuka shuka ba.’
14 So respect the Lord and worship him, sincerely and faithfully. Get rid of the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and worship the Lord.
“Yanzu, sai ku ji tsoron Ubangiji, ku bauta masa da dukan aminci. Ku zubar da allolin da kakanninku suka yi musu sujada a hayin Kogin Yuferites da kuma a Masar, ku bauta wa Ubangiji.
15 But if you don't want to worship the Lord, choose today who you want to worship! Is it going to be the gods your forefathers worshipped beyond the Euphrates? Or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you're now living? But as for me and my family, we will worship the Lord!”
Amma in kuka ga ba za ku iya bauta wa Ubangiji ba, sai ku zaɓa yau wanda za ku bauta masa, ko allolin da kakanninku suka bauta musu a hayin Kogin Yuferites, ko kuma allolin Amoriyawa, waɗanda kuke zama a cikin ƙasarsu. Amma da ni da gidana, Ubangiji ne za mu bauta wa.”
16 The people responded, “We are never going to give up on the Lord and worship other gods!
Sai mutanen suka amsa suka ce, “Allah ya kiyashe mu da rabuwa da Ubangiji Allahnmu, har a ce mu bauta wa waɗansu alloli!
17 For the Lord our God brought us and our forefathers out of slavery in Egypt. He was the one who did great miracles before our very eyes. He looked after us on the way as we traveled through the lands of many nations.
Ubangiji Allahnmu ne da kansa ya fitar da iyayenmu daga Masar, daga ƙasar bauta, ya yi manyan abubuwan al’ajabi, a idanunmu. Ya kiyaye mu cikin dukan hanyar da muka bi, da cikin ƙasashen da muka ratsa;
18 The Lord drove out before us the Amorites and all the other nations who were living in the land. So we will worship the Lord, for he is our God!”
Ubangiji kuwa ya kore mana dukan Amoriyawa, waɗanda suke zaune a ƙasar. Don haka mu ma za mu bauta wa Ubangiji, gama shi ne Allahnmu.”
19 Joshua told the people, “Remember that the Lord is a holy and jealous God. You won't be able to worship him, and he won't forgive your rebellion and sins
Yoshuwa ya ce wa mutanen, “Ba za ku iya bauta wa Ubangiji ba gama shi Allah mai tsarki ne; mai kishi kuma. Ba zai gafarta muku zunubin tawaye ba.
20 if you give up on him and worship foreign gods. He will turn against you and destroy you despite all the good he has done for you.”
In kuka juya wa Ubangiji baya, kuka bauta wa waɗansu alloli, zai juya yă kawo muku bala’i, yă hallaka ku, yă kawo ƙarshenku.”
21 “Don't say that!” the people replied. “We will worship the Lord!”
Amma mutanen suka ce wa Yoshuwa, “Mu dai! Za mu bauta wa Ubangiji.”
22 Then Joshua cautioned the people, “You have made yourselves witnesses against yourselves by saying that you have chosen to worship the Lord.” “Yes, we are witnesses,” the people replied.
Yoshuwa kuwa ya ce musu, “Ku ne shaidun kanku cewa kun zaɓi ku bauta wa Ubangiji.” Suka amsa suka ce, “I, mu ne shaidun kanmu.”
23 “Then get rid of those foreign gods you have and promise to be loyal only to the Lord, the God of Israel,” Joshua told them.
Yoshuwa ya ce musu, “Yanzu sai ku zubar da allolin da suke cikinku, ku miƙa wa Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila zuciyarku.”
24 The people said to Joshua, “We will worship the Lord our God and we will obey him.”
Mutanen kuma suka ce, “Za mu bauta wa Ubangiji Allahnmu, mu kuma yi masa biyayya.”
25 So Joshua made a solemn agreement between the people and the Lord that day in Shechem, obligating them to follow all the Lord's laws and instructions.
A wannan rana Yoshuwa ya yi alkawari saboda mutanen, kuma a can Shekem ya tsara musu ƙa’idodi da dokoki.
26 Joshua recorded this in the Book of the Law of God, and he set up a large stone under the oak tree near the Lord's sanctuary.
Yoshuwa kuwa ya rubuta abubuwan nan a cikin Littafin Dokoki na Allah. Sa’an nan ya ɗauki babban dutse ya ajiye a ƙarƙashin itacen oak kusa da tsattsarkan wuri na Ubangiji.
27 Joshua said to the people, “Look at this stone. It stands here as a witness against us for it has heard everything the Lord has told us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny what you have promised your God.”
Ya ce wa duka mutanen, “Ku gani! Wannan dutse zai zama mana shaida, ya ji duk maganar da Ubangiji ya yi mana, zai zama muku shaida in ba ku yi wa Allahnku gaskiya ba.”
28 Then Joshua dismissed the people, sending them to their allotted lands.
Sai Yoshuwa ya sallami mutane, kowa ya tafi ƙasar da aka ba shi gādo.
29 Later, after all this, Joshua, son of Nun, servant of the Lord, died at the age of one hundred and ten.
Bayan waɗannan abubuwa, Yoshuwa ɗan Nun, bawan Ubangiji, ya mutu yana da shekaru ɗari da goma.
30 They buried him in Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash, the land he had been allocated.
Suka kuma binne shi a ƙasarsa ta gādo, a Timnat Sera a ƙasar kan tudu ta Efraim, arewa da Dutsen Ga’ash.
31 The Israelites continued to worship the Lord throughout Joshua's life, and throughout the lifetimes of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all that the Lord had done for Israel.
Isra’ilawa kuwa sun bauta wa Ubangiji dukan kwanakin Yoshuwa, da kuma kwanakin dattawan da ya bari, da waɗanda suka ga duk abin da Ubangiji ya yi wa Isra’ila.
32 The bones of Joseph, which the Israelites had brought with them from Egypt, they buried in Shechem in the piece of ground Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for one hundred pieces of silver. This land was inherited by Joseph's sons.
Aka kuma binne ƙasusuwan Yusuf da aka kawo daga Masar, a Shekem a wurin da Yaƙub ya saya da azurfa ɗari daga’ya’yan Hamor, babban Shekem. Wurin ya zama gādon zuriyar Yusuf.
33 And Eleazar, son of Aaron, died and they buried him at Gibeah, in the hill country of Ephraim, land which had been given to his son Phinehas.
Eleyazar ɗan Haruna, ya mutu aka binne shi a Gibeya, wurin da aka ba ɗansa Finehas a ƙasar kan tudu ta Efraim.
