Yoswa 17

1 Gawo lina la dzikolo linapatsidwa kwa mabanja ena a fuko la Manase, mwana woyamba kubadwa wa Yosefe. Makiri anali mwana woyamba kubadwa wa Manase ndiponso kholo la anthu okhala ku Giliyadi. Popeza kuti iye anali munthu wankhondo, analandira Giliyadi ndi Basani.

Wɔde asase no fa a ɛda atɔe fam no maa Manase abusuakuw no fa a ɔyɛ Yosef babarima panyin no asefo. Na wɔde Gilead ne Basan a ɛda Yordan apuei fam no ama Makir abusua no dedaw, efisɛ na ɔyɛ ɔkofo kɛse. (Na Makir yɛ Manase babarima panyin ne Gilead agya.)

2 Mabanja ena otsala a fuko la Manase amene analandira dziko ndi awa: Abiezeri, Heleki, Asirieli, Sekemu, Heferi ndi Semida. Izi ndi zidzukulu zina zazimuna za Manase mwana wa Yosefe ndiponso eni mbumba.

Asase a ɛda Yordan atɔe fam no, wɔde maa mmusua nkae a wɔwɔ Manase abusuakuw mu a wɔn ne: Abieser, Helek, Asriel, Sekem, Hefer ne Semida.

3 Panali Zelofehadi mwana wa Heferi, mwana wa Giliyadi, mwana wa Makiri mwana wa Manase. Iyeyu analibe ana aamuna koma aakazi okhaokha ndipo mayina awo ndi awa: Mahila, Nowa, Hogila, Milika ndi Tiriza.

Nanso na Hefer babarima Selofehad a na ɔno nso yɛ Manase, Makir ne Gilead aseni no nni mmabarima. Mmom, na ɔwɔ mmabea baanum. Na wɔn din de Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka ne Tirsa.

4 Iwo anapita kwa Eliezara wansembe, Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, ndi atsogoleri ndipo anati: “Yehova analamula Mose kuti ife ndi alongo athu atipatse cholowa chathu.” Choncho iwowo pamodzi ndi abale a abambo awo anawapatsa dera lina la dzikolo kuti likhale monga mwa lamulo la Yehova.

Saa mmea yi baa ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne Nun babarima Yosua ne Israel ntuanofo no nkyɛn bɛkae se, “Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔmma yɛn ne mmarima a wɔwɔ yɛn abusuakuw mu no agyapade.” Enti Yosua maa wɔn ne wɔn agyanom agyapade sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no.

5 Choncho kuwonjezera pa mayiko a Giliyadi ndi Basani kummawa kwa Yorodani, anthu a fuko la Manase analandiranso magawo khumi

Ɛno nti Manase agyapade bɛyɛɛ nsaseteaa du a Gilead ne Basan a ɛdeda Asubɔnten Yordan agya no ka ho,

6 chifukwa ana aakazi a fuko la Manase analandira cholowa chawo pakati pa ana aamuna. Dziko la Giliyadi linali dziko la zidzukulu zonse za Manase.

efisɛ Manase asefo a wɔyɛ mmea no ne wɔn a wɔyɛ mmarima nyaa agyapade. (Wɔde Gilead asase no maa Manase asefo a wɔyɛ mmarima nkae no).

7 Malire a dziko la Manase anayambira ku Aseri, ndipo anakafika ku Mikimetati kummawa kwa Sekemu. Tsono malire anapita kummwera kuloza kwa anthu a ku Eni-Tapuwa.

Manase abusuakuw no hye no fi Aser hye ano kosi Mikmetat, a ɛwɔ Sekem apuei fam. Afei, ɔhye no fi Mikmetat kɔ anafo fam, kosi nnipa a wɔte bɛn Tapua nsu no ho no.

8 (Manase anatenga dziko la Tapuwa, koma mzinda wa Tapuwawo, umene unali mʼmalire mwa Manase unali wa fuko la Efereimu).

(Asase a atwa Tapua ho ahyia no yɛ Manase dea, nanso Tapua kurow no a ɛda Manase mantam no hye so no yɛ Efraim abusuakuw no dea.)

9 Ndipo malire ake anapitirira kummwera mpaka ku mtsinje wa ku Kana. Mizinda ya kummwera kwa mtsinjewo inali ya fuko la Efereimu ngakhale kuti inali mʼdziko la Manase. Malire a fuko la Manase anapita kumpoto kwa mtsinje wa Kana ndi kukathera ku Nyanja.

Manase hye no fi Tapua asu no, nenam Kana suka atifi kosi Po Kɛse no. (Nkurow bebree a ɛwɔ Manase mantam mu no yɛ Efraim abusuakuw no dea.)

10 Dziko la kummwera linali la Efereimu ndipo la kumpoto linali la Manase. Dziko la Manase linafika ku nyanja ndipo linachita malire ndi Aseri, kumpoto ndiponso Isakara, kummawa.

Asase a ɛda suka no anafo fam no yɛ Efraim dea, na nea ɛda atifi fam nso yɛ Manase de; na Po kɛse no yɛ Manase asase no hye wɔ atɔe fam. Aser asase no da Manase de no atifi fam, na Isakar asase no nso da apuei fam.

11 Mʼdziko la Isakara ndi Aseri, Manase analinso ndi mizinda ya Beti-Seani ndi Ibuleamu pamodzi ndi midzi yawo yozungulira. Panalinso Akanaani amene ankakhala ku Dori, Endori, Taanaki ndi Megido pamodzi ndi mizinda yozungulira (wachitatu pa mʼndandandawu ndi Nafati Dori).

Wɔde saa nkurow a ɛwɔ Isakar ne Aser mantam mu no maa Manase: Bet-Sean, Yibleam, Dor (a ɛyɛ Nafɔt Dor), En-Dor, Taanak ne Megido ne wɔn nkuraa.

12 Komabe anthu a fuko la Manase sanathe kuwapirikitsa anthu okhala mʼmizinda imeneyi. Choncho Akanaani anakhalabe mʼmizindayi.

Nanso Manase asefo no antumi amfa saa nkurow yi. Wɔantumi antu Kanaanfo a na wɔte hɔ no.

13 Ngakhale Aisraeli anali a mphamvu mʼdzikomo, sanapirikitse Akanaani onse koma anangowasandutsa kukhala akapolo.

Akyiri no, bere a Israelfo nyaa ahoɔden no, wɔhyɛɛ Kanaanfo no ma wɔyɛɛ adwuma sɛ nkoa. Nanso wɔampam wɔn amfi asase no so.

14 Anthu a fuko la Yosefe anati kwa Yoswa, “Chifukwa chiyani mwatipatsa gawo limodzi lokha la dziko kuti likhale cholowa chathu? Ife tilipo anthu ambiri popeza Yehova watidalitsa kwambiri.”

Yosef asefo baa Yosua nkyɛn bebisaa no se, “Adɛn nti na woama yɛn asasetaw baako pɛ wɔ bere a Awurade ama yɛn ase adɔ?”

15 Yoswa anayankha kuti, “Ngati muli ambiri ndipo dziko la ku mapiri la Efereimu lakucheperani kwambiri, lowani ku nkhalango mudule mitengo, mudzikonzere malo akuti mukhalemo, mʼdziko la Aperezi ndi Arefai.”

Yosua buaa se, “Sɛ Efraim bepɔw asase no sua ma mo a, monkɔdɔw kwae a Perisifo ne Refaitefo te so no.”

16 Tsono zidzukulu za Yosefe zinati, “Dziko la ku mapiri ndi losatikwaniradi, komanso Akanaani onse amene akukhala ku chigwa pamodzi ndi amene akukhala ku Beti-Seani ndi madera awo ndiponso amene ali ku chigwa cha Yezireeli ali ndi magaleta azitsulo.”

Na wobuae se, “Bepɔw so asase no sua ma yɛn, na Kanaanfo a wɔwɔ bepɔw no ase nsase a atwa Bet-Sean ne Yesreel bon ho ahyia no wɔ nnade nteaseɛnam, na wɔn ho yɛ den dodo ma yɛn.”

17 Koma Yoswa anawuza zidzukulu za Yosefe, za fuko la Efereimu ndi za fuko la Manase kuti, “Inu mulipodi ambiri ndiponso amphamvu. Simulandira gawo limodzi lokha,

Na Yosua ka kyerɛɛ Efraim ne Manase mmusuakuw a wɔyɛ Yosef asefo no se, “Esiane sɛ mo dɔɔso na mo ho yɛ den nti, mubenya nsasetam no bi aka baako no ho.

18 dziko la ku mapiri lidzakhalanso lanu. Ngakhale kuti ndi nkhalango yokhayokha koma inu mudzadula mitengo yake ndipo lidzakhala lanu mpaka kumapeto. Ngakhale kuti Akanaani ali ndi magaleta azitsulo ndiponso kuti iwo ndi amphamvu, koma inu mudzawapirikitsa.”

Wɔde kwae a ɛda bepɔw no so no bɛka mo ho. Monnɔw asase no sɛnea mubetumi biara na montena hɔ. Ɛwɔ mu sɛ Kanaanfo no ho yɛ den na wɔwɔ nnade nteaseɛnam, nanso mewɔ awerehyɛmu sɛ mubetumi apam wɔn afi obon no mu.”
