6:15 And he gave him the diadem, and his robe, and his ring, so that he would guide Antiochus, dansa, and raise him, and so that he would reign.

7:25 But Alcimus saw that Judas, da kuma waɗanda suke tare da shi, prevailed. And he knew that he was not able to withstand them. And so he returned to the king, and he accused them of many crimes.
7:28 yana cewa: “Let there be no fighting between me and you. I will come with a few men, to see your faces with peace.”
7:35 and he swore with anger, yana cewa, “Unless Judas and his army have been delivered into my hands, when I return in peace, I will burn this house.” And he went out with great anger.

8:15 kuma ma, they had made themselves a senate house, and they consulted daily with three hundred and twenty men, continually acting as a counsel for the multitude, so that they would do the things that were right.
8:17 And so Judas chose Eupolemus, the son of John, the son of Jacob, and Jason, ɗan Ele'azara, and he sent them to Rome to make an agreement of friendship and an alliance with them,
8:19 And they went to Rome, a very long journey, and they entered the senate house, kuma suka ce,

8:30 Kuma, if after these words, one or another would want to add anything to, or take anything from these, they may do as they propose. And whatever they add or take away, it shall be ratified.

14:17 But when they heard that Simon, da ɗan'uwansa, had been made high priest in his place, and that he obtained the entire country and the cities in it,
14:18 they wrote to him on tablets of brass, so as to renew the friendship and alliance, which they had made with Judas and with Jonathan, 'yan'uwansa.

14:39 A cewar wadannan abubuwa, he made him his friend, and he glorified him with great glory.
14:40 For he heard that the Romans had called the Jews their friends, and associates, da 'yan'uwansa, and that they received the ambassadors of Simon with glory,

15:24 Haka ma, they wrote a copy of these things to Simon, the leader of the priests and the people of the Jews.
15:26 And Simon sent two thousand chosen men to him as auxiliaries, da azurfa, da zinariya, and an abundance of equipment.

15:32 So Athenobius, abokin sarki, came to Jerusalem and saw the glory of Simon, and his splendor in gold and silver, and his abundance of equipment, and he was astonished. And he repeated the words of the king to him.
15:33 And Simon responded to him, sai ya ce masa: “We have not taken foreign land, nor do we hold anything foreign, but we hold the inheritance of our fathers, which was for some time unjustly possessed by our enemies.

15:35 And as to Joppa and Gazara, which you demand, they brought a great scourging on the people and our country. Don wadannan, we will give one hundred talents.” And Athenobius did not respond a word to him.
15:36 Amma, returning with anger to the king, he reported to him these words, and the glory of Simon, and all that he had seen. And the king became angry with a great anger.
16:1 Say mai, John came up from Gazara, and he reported to Simon, tsohonsa, what Cendebeus had done against their people.

16:3 And now that I am old, you must act in place of me and my brothers, and go out to fight for our nation. Lalle, may the help of heaven be with you.”
16:4 Then he chose from the region twenty thousand men of warfare, da mahayan dawakai; and they started out toward Cendebeus. And they rested in Modin.
16:5 And they rose up in the morning and went out into the plains. Sai ga, an abundant army of foot soldiers and horsemen was there to meet them, and there was a river flowing between them.

16:9 Sai Yahuza, dan'uwan John, was wounded. But John pursued them, until he came to Kedron, which he had built.

16:16 And when Simon and his sons became inebriated, Ptolemy and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and entered into the gathering. And they killed him, da 'ya'yansa biyu, and some of his servants.
16:19 And he sent others to Gazara to destroy John. And he sent letters to the tribunes to come to him, and he would give them silver, da zinariya, kuma ba da kyautai.
