Judges 9
1 And Abimelech son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's brethren, and spoke to them, and to all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
Abimelek ɗan Yerub-Ba’al ya tafi Shekem wurin’yan’uwan mahaifiyarsa, ya ce musu da kuma dukan dangin mahaifiyarsa,
2 Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the citizens of Shechem, Which is better for you, that seventy persons, all sons of Jerubbaal, rule over you, or that one man rule over you? And remember that I am your bone and your flesh.
“Ku tambayi’yan ƙasar Shekem, ‘Wanne ya fi muku, a sa dukan’ya’yan Yerub-Ba’al saba’in maza su yi mulkinku, ko dai mutum guda kawai yă yi mulkinku?’ Ku tuna, ni jininku ne.”
3 And his mother's brethren spoke of him in the ears of all the citizens of Shechem all these words. And their heart inclined after Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.
Sa’ad da’yan’uwan suka mayar wa’yan ƙasar Shekem wannan, sai suka goyi bayan Abimelek, gama sun ce, “Shi ɗan’uwanmu ne.”
4 And they gave him seventy pieces of silver out of the house of Baal-Berith, and Abimelech hired with them vain and wanton men, and they followed him.
Suka ba shi shekel saba’in na azurfa daga haikalin Ba’al-Berit, Abimelek kuwa ya yi amfani da shi ya yi hayar’yan tauri waɗanda suka zama masu binsa.
5 And he came to his father's house, to Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy persons upon one stone; but there remained Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal; for he had hid himself.
Sai ya tafi gidan mahaifinsa a Ofra kuma a dutse guda ya kashe’yan’uwansa,’ya’yan Yerub-Ba’al. Amma Yotam, autan ɗan Yerub-Ba’al ya tsira ta wurin ɓuya.
6 And all the citizens of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king, by the memorial-oak that is in Shechem.
Sa’an nan duka’yan ƙasar Shekem da Bet Millo suka taru kusa da babban itacen wajen ginshiƙi a Shekem don a naɗa Abimelek sarki.
7 And they told it to Jotham, and he went and stood on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said to them, Hearken to me, ye citizens of Shechem, that God may hearken to you.
Sa’ad da aka gaya wa Yotam wannan, sai ya hau Dutsen Gerizim ya yi kira da ƙarfi ya ce, “Ku saurare ni,’yan ƙasar Shekem, don Allah yă saurare ku.
8 The trees once went forth to anoint a king over them; and they said to the olive-tree, Reign over us.
Wata rana itatuwa suka fita don su naɗa wa kansu sarki. Suka ce wa itacen zaitun, ‘Ka zama sarkinmu.’
9 And the olive-tree said to them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to wave over the trees?
“Amma itacen zaitun ya ce, ‘In bar mai nawa, wanda da shi ake girmama alloli da mutane, don in zo in yi ta fama da itatuwa?’
10 And the trees said to the fig-tree, Come thou, reign over us.
“Biye da wannan, sai itatuwan suka ce wa itacen ɓaure, ‘Zo ka zama sarkinmu.’
11 But the fig-tree said to them, Should I leave my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to wave over the trees?
“Amma itacen ɓauren ya ce, ‘In bar kyawawan’ya’yana da zaƙinsu, in zo in yi ta fama da itatuwa?’
12 Then said the trees to the vine, Come thou, reign over us.
“Sa’an nan itatuwan suka ce wa kuringar inabi, ‘Ki zo ki zama sarkinmu.’
13 And the vine said to them, Should I leave my new wine, which cheers God and man, and go to wave over the trees?
“Amma kuringar ta ce, ‘In bar ruwan inabina, wanda yake faranta zuciyar alloli da mutane, in zo in yi fama da itatuwa?’
14 Then said all the trees to the thorn-bush, Come thou, reign over us.
“A ƙarshe sai dukan itatuwa suka ce wa itacen ƙaya, ‘Ka zo ka zama sarkinmu.’
15 And the thorn-bush said to the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, come, put confidence in my shadow; but if not, fire shall come out of the thorn-bush and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
“Itacen ƙaya ya ce wa itatuwan, ‘In da gaske ne kuke so ku naɗa ni sarkinku, ku zo ku sha inuwana; in ba haka ba, bari wuta ta fito daga itacen ƙaya ta cinye itacen al’ul na Lebanon!’
16 Now therefore, if ye have dealt truly and sincerely in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and if ye have done to him according to the deserving of his hands;
“To, da a ce kun yi abin bangirma da aniya mai kyau sa’ad da kuka naɗa Abimelek sarki, da kun nuna wa Yerub-Ba’al da iyalinsa ladabi, da kuma kun yi masa abin da ya cancanci shi,
17 — for my father fought for you, and endangered his life, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian;
a yi tunani cewa mahaifina ya yi yaƙi saboda ku, ya yi kasai da ransa don yă cece ku daga hannun Midiyawa
18 but ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, seventy men, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his handmaid, king over the citizens of Shechem, because he is your brother;
(amma ga shi yau kun tayar wa iyalin mahaifina, kuka kashe’ya’yansa saba’in a dutse guda, kuka kuma naɗa Abimelek, ɗan baiwa, sarki a kan’yan ƙasar Shekem domin shi ɗan’uwanku ne)
19 — if ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you;
in har kun aikata wannan cikin bangirma da kuma aminci wajen Yerub-Ba’al da iyalinsa a yau, bari Abimelek yă zama farin cikinku, ku kuma nasa!
20 but if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the citizens of Shechem and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the citizens of Shechem and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
Amma in ba haka ba, bari wuta ta fito daga Abimelek ya cinye ku,’yan ƙasar Shekem da Bet Millo, bari wuta kuma daga wurinku’yan ƙasar Shekem da Bet Millo ta cinye Abimelek!”
21 And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, because of Abimelech his brother.
Sa’an nan Yotam ya gudu, ya tsere zuwa Beyer ya zauna a can gama yana tsoron ɗan’uwansa Abimelek.
22 And Abimelech ruled over Israel three years.
Bayan Abimelek ya yi shekara uku yana mulki a Isra’ila,
23 And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the citizens of Shechem; and the citizens of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,
sai Allah ya aiko da mugun ruhu tsakanin Abimelek da’yan ƙasar Shekem, waɗanda suka ci amanar Abimelek.
24 that the violence [done] to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who slew them, and upon the citizens of Shechem, who had strengthened his hands to slay his brethren.
Allah ya yi haka saboda kisan’ya’ya saba’in na Yerub-Ba’al, don a ɗauki fansar jininsu a kan Abimelek ɗan’uwansu da kuma’yan ƙasar Shekem, waɗanda suka taimake shi kisan’yan’uwansa.
25 And the citizens of Shechem set liers in wait for him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them. And it was told Abimelech.
Cikin hamayya da shi waɗannan’yan ƙasar Shekem suka sa mutane a kan tuddai don su yi kwanton ɓauna a kan su yi fashi ga duk wanda ya wuce a can, wannan fa ya kai kunnen Abimelek.
26 And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem; and the citizens of Shechem put confidence in him.
To, Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya tafi tare da’yan’uwansa zuwa Shekem,’yan ƙasarta kuwa suka dogara da shi.
27 And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode [the grapes], and made rejoicings, and went into the house of their god, and ate and drank, and cursed Abimelech.
Bayan sun tafi gonaki suka tattara inabi suka matse su, sai suka yi biki a haikalin allahnsu. Yayinda suke ci da sha, sai suka la’anci Abimelek.
28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is he not the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his overseer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem! and why should we serve him?
Sa’an nan Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya ce, “Wane ne Abimelek, kuma wane ne Shekem, da za mu bauta masa? Shi ba ɗan Yerub-Ba’al ba ne, kuma ba Zebul ne mataimakinsa ba? Ku bauta wa mutanen Hamor, mahaifin Shekem! Me ya sa za mu bauta wa Abimelek?
29 Oh! would that this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out.
Da a ce waɗannan mutane suna a ƙarƙashina mana! Da zan hamɓarar da shi. In ce wa Abimelek, ‘Ka tara dukan mayaƙanka!’”
30 And Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, and his anger was kindled;
Sa’ad da Zebul gwamnar birnin ya ji abin da Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya ce, sai ya fusata.
31 and he sent messengers to Abimelech craftily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren are come to Shechem, and behold, they shut up the city against thee;
Asirce sai ya aiki manzanni wajen Abimelek, yana cewa, “Ga’al ɗan Ebed da’yan’uwansa sun zo Shekem suna kuma zuga birnin sun tayar maka.
32 and now, rise up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and lie in ambush in the fields.
To, in dare ya yi, sai ka zo da mutanenka ku yi kwanto a filaye.
33 And it shall be in the morning when the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and fall upon the city; and behold, he and the people that is with him shall come out against thee, and thou shalt do with him as thou shalt find occasion.
Kashegari da safe, sai ku tashi ku fāɗa wa birnin. Sa’ad da Ga’al da mutanensa suka faɗa maka, sai ka yi abin da ka iya yi da su.”
34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they lay in ambush against Shechem in four companies.
Saboda haka Abimelek da dukan mutanensa suka tashi da dare suka ɓuya kusa da Shekem a ƙungiyoyi huɗu.
35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. Then Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, out of the ambush.
To, Ga’al ɗan Ebed ya riga ya fita waje yana tsaye a ƙofar birni daidai Abimelek da mayaƙansa suka fito daga inda suka ɓuya.
36 And Gaal saw the people, and said to Zebul, Behold, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as men.
Sa’ad da Ga’al ya gan su, sai ya ce wa Zebul, “Duba, ga mutane suna gangarowa daga kan duwatsu!” Zebul ya ce, “Kana ɗaukan inuwan duwatsu kana ce mutane.”
37 And Gaal spoke again, and said, Behold, people are coming down from the high part of the land, and one company is coming along by the way of the Magician's oak.
Amma Ga’al ya sāke magana ya ce, “Duba, mutane suna gangarowa daga tsakiyar filaye, kuma wata ƙungiya tana zuwa daga wajen itacen masu duba.”
38 Then said Zebul to him, Where is now thy mouth, thou that saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out now, I pray, and fight against them.
Sa’an nan Zebul ya ce masa, “Ina bakin da ka yi ɗin, kai da ka ce, ‘Wane ne Abimelek da za mu bauta masa.’ Ba mutanen ne ka yi musu ba’a ba? Fita, ka yaƙe su mana!”
39 And Gaal went out before the citizens of Shechem, and fought against Abimelech.
Saboda haka Ga’al ya fito da’yan ƙasar Shekem suka yaƙi Abimelek.
40 And Abimelech pursued him, and he fled before him, and there fell many wounded, as far as the entrance of the gate.
Abimelek ya kore shi, mutane da yawa suka ji ciwo a yaƙin, har zuwa ƙofar birnin.
41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah. And Zebul drove out Gaal and his brethren, that they might not dwell in Shechem.
Abimelek ya zauna a Aruma, Zebul kuwa ya kori Ga’al da’yan’uwansa daga Shekem.
42 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
Kashegari mutanen Shekem suka tafi gonaki, aka kuwa gaya wa Abimelek.
43 And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and lay in ambush in the field. And he looked, and behold, the people came forth out of the city; and he rose up against them and smote them.
Saboda haka ya ɗauki mutanensa, ya raba su ƙungiya uku, sa’an nan ya yi kwanto a gonakin. Sa’ad da ya ga mutanen suna fitowa daga birni, sai ya yi wuf ya fāɗa musu.
44 And Abimelech, and the companies that were with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city; and two of the companies ran upon all that were in the fields, and slew them.
Abimelek da ƙungiyoyin da suke tare da shi suka yi maza suka yi tsaya a ƙofar birnin. Sa’an nan ƙungiyoyi biyu suka ruga suka fāɗa wa waɗanda suke a gonaki suka karkashe su.
45 And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that were in it, and broke down the city, and sowed it with salt.
Dukan yinin, Abimelek ya matsa yaƙi da birnin sai da ya cinye ta ya kuma kashe mutanenta. Sa’an nan ya hallaka birnin ya barbaza gishiri a kanta.
46 And all the men of the tower of Shechem heard [that], and they entered into the stronghold of the house of the god Berith.
Da jin haka, sai’yan ƙasa a hasumiyar Shekem suka shiga wurin mafaka a hankalin El-Berit.
47 And it was told Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem had gathered together.
Da Abimelek ya ji dukan mutanen hasumiyar Shekem sun taru a can,
48 Then Abimelech went up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it up and laid it on his shoulder, and said to the people that was with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, do as I have done.
sai Abimelek da dukan mutanensa suka haura zuwa Dutsen Zalmon. Sai ya ɗauki gatari ya sassare waɗansu rassa, waɗanda ya sa a kafaɗunsa. Ya umarci mutanen da suke tare da shi ya ce, “Sauri, ku yi abin da kuka ga na yi!”
49 And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and they followed Abimelech, and put [them] to the hold, and burned the hold with fire upon them. And all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
Saboda haka mutanen suka sassare rassan itatuwa suka bi Abimelek. Suka tattara su a jikin mafakar suka kuma cinna mata wuta a kan mutanen da suke a ciki. Ta haka dukan mutanen da suke cikin hasumiyar Shekem, wajen maza da mata dubu ɗaya suka mutu.
50 And Abimelech went to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
Biye da wannan Abimelek ya tafi Tebez, ya kewaye ta ya kuma cinye ta da yaƙi.
51 But there was a strong tower in the midst of the city, and thither fled all the men and women, all the citizens of the city; and they shut it behind them, and went up to the roof of the tower.
A cikin birnin, akwai wata hasumiya mai ƙarfi, inda dukan maza da mata, dukan mutanen birnin, suka ɓuya. Suka kulle kansu, suka kuma hau rufin hasumiyar.
52 And Abimelech came to the tower, and fought against it, and he drew near to the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire;
Abimelek ya je wajen hasumiya ya kuma auka mata. Amma da ya yi kusa da ƙofar hasumiyar don yă cinna mata wuta,
53 and a woman cast the upper stone of a handmill on Abimelech's head, and crushed his skull.
sai wata mata ta saki ɗan dutsen niƙa a kan Abimelek ta fasa ƙoƙon kansa.
54 Then he called hastily to the young man that carried his armour, and said to him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that they say not of me, A woman killed him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
Da sauri ya kira mai riƙon masa makami ya ce, “Zaro takobinka ka kashe ni, don kada a ce ‘Mace ce ta kashe shi.’” Saboda haka bawansa ya soke shi, ya mutu.
55 And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they went every man to his place.
Sa’ad da Isra’ilawa suka ga Abimelek ya mutu, sai suka tafi gida.
56 And God rendered back the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did to his father in slaying his seventy brethren.
Ta haka Allah ya sāka muguntar da Abimelek da ya yi wa mahaifinsa ta wurin kisan’yan’uwansa saba’in.
57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render back upon their heads; and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
Allah kuma ya sa muguntar mutanen Shekem suka koma kansu. La’anar Yotam ɗan Yerub-Ba’al kuma ta kama su.
