1 Esi Adoni Zedek, Yerusalem fia se ale si Yosua xɔ Ai du, tsrɔ̃e gbidigbidi, eye wòwu Ai fia kple ale si wòwɔ Ai fia kple Yeriko fia kpakple ale si Gibeontɔwo wɔ nubabla kple Israelviwo, eye wozu Israel dzi nɔlawo la,
Kwasekusithi lapho uAdonizedeki inkosi yeJerusalema esezwile ukuthi uJoshuwa uyithumbile iAyi, wayitshabalalisa, njengalokho akwenza eJeriko lenkosini yayo, wenze njalo eAyi lenkosini yayo, lokuthi abahlali beGibeyoni benza ukuthula loIsrayeli, babephakathi kwabo,
2 vɔvɔ̃ gã aɖe ɖoe, elabena Gibeon lolo abe fiadu ene, eye wòlolo sãa wu Ai, evɔ Gibeontɔwo nye aʋawɔla sesẽwo,
besaba kakhulu, ngoba iGibeyoni yayingumuzi omkhulu njengomunye wemizi yenkosi, langoba yayinkulu kuleAyi, lamadoda ayo wonke engamaqhawe.
3 eya ta Adoni Zedek, Yerusalem fia ɖo du ɖe fia siawo: Hebron fia, Hoham, Yarmut fia, Piran, Lakis fia, Yafia kple Eglon fia, Debir.
Ngakho uAdonizedeki inkosi yeJerusalema yathumela kuHohamu inkosi yeHebroni, lakuPiramu inkosi yeJarimuthi, lakuJafiya inkosi yeLakishi, lakuDebiri inkosi yeEgiloni, esithi:
4 Fia Adoni Zedek gblɔ na wo be, “Miva kpe ɖe ŋunye míatsrɔ̃ Gibeontɔwo, elabena wowɔ ŋutifafa kple Yosua kple Israelviwo.”
Yenyukelani kimi lingisize, ukuze siyitshaye iGibeyoni; ngoba yenzile ukuthula loJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
5 Ale Amoritɔwo ƒe fia atɔ̃ siawo ƒo ƒu woƒe aʋakɔwo katã ɖekae be yewoaho aʋa ɖe Gibeontɔwo ŋu.
Ngakho amakhosi amahlanu amaAmori, inkosi yeJerusalema, inkosi yeHebroni, inkosi yeJarimuthi, inkosi yeLakishi, inkosi yeEgiloni, ahlangana enyuka, wona lamabutho awo wonke, amisa inkamba maqondana leGibeyoni, alwa layo.
6 Gibeontɔwo ɖo ame ɖe Yosua le Gilgal enumake be, “Miva kpe ɖe miaƒe subɔlawo ŋu! Miva kaba ne miava ɖe mí! Amoritɔwo ƒe fiawo katã tso woƒe nɔƒewo le toawo dzi va le mía gbɔ kple woƒe aʋakɔwo.”
Amadoda eGibeyoni asethumela kuJoshuwa enkambeni yeGiligali esithi: Isandla sakho singatshiyi izinceku zakho; yenyukela kithi masinyane usisindise usisize, ngoba amakhosi wonke amaAmori ahlala ezintabeni asesihlanganyele.
7 Yosua kple Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔ la ho tso Gilgal, eye woyi be yewoaxɔ na Gibeontɔwo.
Ngakho uJoshuwa wenyuka esuka eGiligali, yena labo bonke abantu bempi kanye laye, lawo wonke amaqhawe alamandla.
8 Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Mègavɔ̃ wo o, elabena mieɖu wo dzi xoxo! Metsɔ wo na mi be miatsrɔ̃ wo, wo dometɔ ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe mia nu o.”
INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Ungabesabi, ngoba ngibanikele esandleni sakho; kakulamuntu wabo ozakuma phambi kwakho.
9 Yosua kple Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔ la zɔ mɔ zã blibo la tso Gilgal, eye woɖi ɖe futɔwo dzi kpoyi.
UJoshuwa wasebajuma, enyuke ubusuku bonke esuka eGiligali.
10 Tete Yehowa na futɔwo vɔ̃ eye wotɔtɔ, ale Israelviwo wu ame geɖewo le Gibeon, eye wonya ame mamlɛawo, nɔ wo wum le mɔa dzi yi keke Bet Horon kple Azeka kple Makeda.
INkosi yabasanganisa phambi kukaIsrayeli, yabatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu eGibeyoni, yaxotshana labo endleleni enyukela eBhethi-Horoni, yabatshaya kwaze kwaba seAseka kwaze kwaba seMakeda.
11 Esi futɔwo nɔ sisim tso toawo dzi henɔ abu ɖim la, Yehowa na kpewo ge tso dziƒo va dze wo dzi hetsrɔ̃ wo le mɔa dzi va se ɖe keke Azeka ke. Ame siwo kpe siawo wu la sɔ gbɔ wu ame siwo Israelviwo wu kple yi.
Kwasekusithi besabaleka phambi kukaIsrayeli ekwehleni kweBhethi-Horoni, iNkosi yaphosela phezu kwabo amatshe amakhulu evela emazulwini, kwaze kwaba seAzeka, njalo bafa. Babebanengi abafa ngesiqhotho okwedlula labo abantwana bakoIsrayeli abababulala ngenkemba.
12 Esime Israelviwo nɔ Amoritɔwo nyam, nɔ wo wum la, Yosua do gbe ɖa na Yehowa kple gbe sesẽ be, “Na ɣe natɔ ɖe Gibeon tame, eye nàna ɣleti hã natɔ ɖe Aiyalon balime tame!”
Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wakhuluma eNkosini mhla iNkosi inikela amaAmori phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, wathi phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli: Langa, mana eGibeyoni, lawe nyanga, esihotsheni seAjaloni.
13 Eye ɣe kple ɣleti siaa megaʋã o va se ɖe esime Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔ la tsrɔ̃ eƒe futɔwo keŋkeŋ! Woŋlɔ nu geɖewo wu esia tso aʋa sia wɔwɔ ŋuti ɖe Yasar ƒe Agbalẽ me. Ale ɣe tɔ ɖe dziƒo abe gaƒoƒo blaeve-vɔ-ene sɔŋ ene!
Lelanga lathi mpo lenyanga yema, abantu baze baziphindisela ezitheni zabo. Lokhu kakubhaliwe yini egwalweni lukaJashari? Ngakho ilanga lema phakathi komkhathi, kalaze laphangisa ukutshona phose okosuku olupheleleyo.
14 Ŋkeke sia tɔgbi meva yi kpɔ o, eye etɔgbi megava kpɔ o tso gbe ma gbe, esi Yehowa tɔ ɣe kple ɣleti le ame ɖeka ƒe gbedodoɖa ta. Ke Yehowa nɔ aʋa wɔm na Israel.
Kaluzanga lube khona usuku olunjalo ngaphambi kwalo loba emva kwalo lapho iNkosi eyalizwa khona ilizwi lomuntu, ngoba iNkosi yamlwela uIsrayeli.
15 Le esia megbe la, Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔ la trɔ yi Gilgal.
UJoshuwa wasebuyela enkambeni eGiligali loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye.
16 Amoritɔwo ƒe fia atɔ̃awo si le aʋa la me yi ɖaɣla wo ɖokuiwo ɖe agado aɖe me le Makeda.
Kodwa lawomakhosi amahlanu abaleka, acatsha ebhalwini eMakeda.
17 Esime wona nyanya Yosua be wokpɔ fiawo la,
Kwasekubikwa kuJoshuwa ukuthi: Amakhosi amahlanu atholwe ecatshile ebhalwini eMakeda.
18 eɖe gbe be woamli kpe gã aɖe axe agado la nu, eye woana dzɔlawo nanɔ afi ma akpɔ egbɔ be fiawo tsi agado la me.
UJoshuwa wasesithi: Giqelani amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni wobhalu, limise amadoda kulo ukuwalinda.
19 Yosua ɖe gbe na aʋakɔ la be, “Minɔ futɔwo nyanya dzi, eye miawu wo tso megbe; migana woade woƒe duwo me o, elabena Yehowa miaƒe Mawu akpe ɖe mia ŋu miatsrɔ̃ wo keŋkeŋ.”
Kodwa lina lingami; xotshanani lezitha zenu, lizitshaye ngemuva kwazo, lingaziyekeli zingene emizini yazo, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izinikele esandleni senu.
20 Ale Yosua kple Israelʋakɔ la yi futɔwo wuwu dzi. Wotsrɔ̃ aʋakɔ atɔ̃awo katã negbe ame ʋɛ aɖewo koe te ŋu ɖo woƒe du siwo woɖo gli ƒo xlã la me.
Kwasekusithi lapho uJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli sebeqedile ukuzitshaya ngokutshaya okukhulukazi zaze zaqedwa, insali eyasalayo yazo yangena emizini evikelweyo.
21 Le esia megbe la, Israelviwo gbugbɔ yi woƒe asaɖa me le Makeda. Womewu aʋawɔla ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã le wo dome o! Tso esia dzi la, futɔ aɖeke megaho aʋa ɖe Israelviwo ŋu kpɔ o.
Labantu bonke babuyela enkambeni kuJoshuwa eMakeda ngokuthula; kakho owanyikinya ulimi lwakhe emelana labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
22 Yosua ɖe gbe be woaɖe kpe gã la ɖa le agado la nu, eye woakplɔ fia atɔ̃awo vɛ.
UJoshuwa wasesithi: Vulani umlomo wobhalu, likhuphele kimi lawomakhosi amahlanu evela ebhalwini.
23 Ale woʋu agado la, eye wokplɔ Yerusalem, Hebron, Yarmut, Lakis kple Eglon fiawo vɛ.
Basebesenza njalo, bawakhuphela kuye lawomakhosi amahlanu evela ebhalwini: Inkosi yeJerusalema, inkosi yeHebroni, inkosi yeJarimuthi, inkosi yeLakishi, inkosi yeEgiloni.
24 Esi wokplɔ fia atɔ̃ siawo va Yosua gbɔ la, eyɔ Israel ŋutsuwo katã eye wòɖe gbe na eƒe aʋakplɔlawo, ame siwo de aʋa kplii be, “Mite va eye miaɖo afɔ ve dzi na fia siawo!” Tete wote va eye woɖo afɔ ve dzi na fia atɔ̃awo.
Kwasekusithi sebewakhuphele kuJoshuwa lawomakhosi, uJoshuwa wabiza wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli, wathi ezinduneni zamadoda empi ezazihambe laye: Sondelani, libeke inyawo zenu entanyeni zalamakhosi. Zasezisondela, zabeka inyawo zazo entanyeni zawo.
25 Yosua gblɔ na Israelviwo be, “Migavɔ̃ gbeɖegbeɖe o. Ŋusẽ nenɔ mia ŋu, eye mialé dzi ɖe ƒo, elabena Yehowa awɔ miaƒe futɔwo katã alea.”
UJoshuwa wasesithi kuzo: Lingesabi lingatshaywa luvalo; qinani lime isibindi, ngoba iNkosi izakwenza njalo kuzo zonke izitha zenu elilwa limelene lazo.
26 Tete Yosua tsɔ eƒe yi wu fia atɔ̃awo, eye wòde ka wo ɖe ati atɔ̃ ŋu va se ɖe fiẽ.
Emva kwalokho uJoshuwa wasewatshaya wawabulala, wawalengisa ezihlahleni ezinhlanu; njalo ayelenga ezihlahleni kwaze kwahlwa.
27 Esime ɣe nɔ to ɖom la, Yosua na woɖe wo le atiawo ŋu, wotsɔ wo ƒu gbe ɖe agado si me wosi yi ɖaɣla wo ɖokuiwo ɖo la me, eye woli kɔ kpe gãwo ɖe agado la nu. Kpe siawo gale afi ma va se ɖe egbe.
Kwasekusithi ngesikhathi sokutshona kwelanga uJoshuwa walaya ukuthi bawethule ezihlahleni, bawaphosele ebhalwini ayecatshe khona; basebefaka amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni wobhalu, akhona kuze kube yilona lolusuku.
28 Gbe ma gbe ke la, Yosua tsrɔ̃ Makeda du la, eye wòwu fia la kple ame sia ame si nɔ dua me; womena ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã tsi agbe le du blibo la me o.
UJoshuwa wathumba layo iMakeda ngalolosuku, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, watshabalalisa lenkosi yayo, bona, layo yonke imiphefumulo eyayikiyo, katshiyanga insali. Wasesenza enkosini yeMakeda njengalokho akwenza enkosini yeJeriko.
29 Tso afi sia la, Israelviwo yi Libna.
UJoshuwa, loIsrayeli wonke laye, wasedlula esuka eMakeda waya eLibhina, walwa emelene leLibhina.
30 Yehowa tsɔ du la kple fia la de asi na Israel le afi sia hã; wowu ame sia ame le dua me abe ale si wowɔ le Yeriko ene.
INkosi yasiyinikela layo lenkosi yayo esandleni sikaIsrayeli; waseyitshaya ngobukhali benkemba lemiphefumulo yonke eyayikiyo; katshiyanga insali kiyo; wenza enkosini yayo njengalokho akwenza enkosini yeJeriko.
31 Israelviwo tso Libna, eye woyi ɖadze Lakis du la hã dzi.
UJoshuwa wasesedlula esuka eLibhina, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, waya eLakishi, wamisa inkamba maqondana layo, walwa emelene layo.
32 Yehowa tsɔ du sia hã na Israel le ŋkeke evelia dzi. Wowu ame sia ame le afi sia hã abe ale si wowɔ le Libna ene.
INkosi yasiyinikela iLakishi esandleni sikaIsrayeli; waseyithumba ngosuku lwesibili, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba layo yonke imiphefumulo eyayikiyo, njengakho konke akwenza eLibhina.
33 Esime Israelviwo nɔ aʋa wɔm le Lakis la, Gezer fia Horan va do kple eƒe aʋakɔ be yeaʋli Lakis du la ta. Ke Yosua ƒe amewo wui, eye wotsrɔ̃ eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la.
Ngalesosikhathi uHoramu inkosi yeGezeri wenyuka ukusiza iLakishi; kodwa uJoshuwa wamtshaya labantu bakhe, kwaze kwathi kamtshiyelanga insali.
34 Yosua kple Israel katã dzo le Lakis heyi Eglon. Woɖe to ɖe du sia, eye woho aʋa ɖe eŋu.
UJoshuwa wasesedlula esuka eLakishi, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, baya eEgiloni, bamisa inkamba maqondana layo, balwa bemelene layo.
35 Woxɔ du sia hã gbe ma gbe ke, eye wowu ame sia ame abe ale si wowu Lakistɔwo katã ene.
Bayithumba ngalolosuku, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, lemiphefumulo yonke eyayikiyo bayitshabalalisa ngalolosuku, njengakho konke akwenza eLakishi.
36 Esi wodzo le Eglon la, woyi Hebron.
UJoshuwa wasesenyuka esuka eEgiloni loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, baya eHebroni, balwa bemelene layo,
37 Woxɔ du sia kple du sue siwo ƒo xlãe, eye wowu ameawo katã kple woƒe fia; womena ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã tsi agbe o.
bayithumba, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, lenkosi yayo lemizi yayo yonke lawo wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo; katshiyanga insali, njengakho konke akwenza eEgiloni, wawutshabalalisa lawo wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo.
38 Wotrɔ azɔ yi Debir.
UJoshuwa wasebuyela eDebiri loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, balwa bemelene layo,
39 Woɖu Debirtɔwo dzi enumake, wu ame sia ame abe ale si wowɔ le Libna ene.
bayithumba lenkosi yayo layo yonke imizi yayo, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, batshabalalisa wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo; katshiyanga insali. Njengokwenza kwakhe eHebroni wenza njalo eDebiri lenkosini yayo, lanjengokwenza kwakhe eLibhina lenkosini yayo.
40 Ale Yosua kple eƒe aʋakɔ la woɖu anyigba blibo la dzi; woɖu dukɔ siwo nɔ toawo dzi, esiwo nɔ anyigba sɔsɔe dzi kple esiwo nɔ toawo ŋu la dzi. Wowu ame sia ame le anyigba la dzi, abe ale si Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la ɖo na wo be woawɔ ene.
Ngakho uJoshuwa walitshaya ilizwe lonke lezintaba leleningizimu lelesihotsha lelamawatha lawo wonke amakhosi abo; katshiyanga insali, kodwa watshabalalisa konke okuphefumulayo, njengokulaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
41 Wowu wo tso Kades Barnea yi Gaza, tso Gosen yi Gibeon.
UJoshuwa wasebatshaya kusukela eKadeshi-Bhaneya kwaze kwaba seGaza, lelizwe lonke leGosheni, kwaze kwaba seGibeyoni.
42 Wowɔ nu siawo katã le aʋadzedze ɖeka pɛ ko me, elabena Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la nɔ aʋa wɔm na wo.
UJoshuwa wasethumba wonke lamakhosi lelizwe lawo ngasikhathi sinye, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yamlwela uIsrayeli.
43 Le dziɖuɖu siawo megbe la, Yosua kple Israel blibo la trɔ yi asaɖa la me le Gilgal.
UJoshuwa wasebuyela, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, enkambeni eGiligali.
