< Yosua 11 >

1 Esi Yabin, Hazor fia se ale si Israelviwo nɔ dukɔwo dzi ɖum la, eɖo du ɖe Yobab, Madɔn fia kple Simron fia kple Aksaf fia,
Kwathi uJabhini inkosi yeHazori isizwa lokhu yathumela ilizwi kuJobhabhi inkosi yeMadoni lasemakhosini eShimroni le-Akhishafi,
2 kple fia siwo nɔ tonyigba la dzi le dziehe le Araba, le Kineret kple esiwo nɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe balime le Galilea ƒu la ƒe dziehe kple fia siwo nɔ ɣetoɖoƒetogbɛwo dzi le ƒuta, te ɖe Nafɔt Dor ŋu.
lasemakhosini enyakatho ayesezintabeni ze-Arabha eningizimu yeKhinerethi emawatheni amaqaqa entshonalanga kanye laseNafothi Dori entshonalanga;
3 Eɖo du ɖe Kanaan fia siwo nɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa eveawo dzi, Amoritɔwo, Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo le tonyigba la dzi kple Hivitɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Hermon to la dzi le Mizpanyigba dzi.
lakumaKhenani empumalanga lentshonalanga; lakuma-Amori, amaHithi, amaPherizi lamaJebusi elizweni elilamaqaqa; kanye lakumaHivi ngaphansi kweHemoni esabelweni seMizipha.
4 Dukɔ siawo katã kplɔ woƒe aʋakɔwo vɛ, eye woƒo ƒu zu aʋakɔ gã ɖeka ɖe Israel ŋu. Aʋakɔ gã sia kple woƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo sɔ gbɔ abe ƒutake ene.
Baphuma lamabutho abo wonke lenani elikhulu lamabhiza lezinqola, ibutho elikhulu, ubunengi lingangetshebetshebe okhunjini lolwandle.
5 Woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Merɔn tsi dzidzi la gbɔ.
Wonke amakhosi la abambana asesakha izihonqo ndawonye eManzini aseMeromi, ukulwa labako-Israyeli.
6 Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Mègavɔ̃ aʋakɔ gã sia o, elabena etsɔ hafi ɣelawoɣi naɖo la, wo katã woazu nu kukuwo le Israel ŋgɔ! Gbã la, tu woƒe sɔwo ƒe atawo, eye nàtɔ dzo woƒe tasiaɖamwo!”
UThixo wathi kuJoshuwa, “Ungabesabi, ngoba ngalesisikhathi kusasa ngizabanikela bonke kwabako-Israyeli sebefile. Uzaquma imisipha yamabhiza abo njalo utshise izihonqo zabo.”
7 Yosua kple eƒe amewo va dze futɔwo dzi le vo me le Merɔn tsi dzidzi la gbɔ.
Ngakho uJoshuwa lebutho lakhe lonke bahlangana labo mathupha eManzini eMeromi wasebahlasela,
8 Yehowa tsɔ aʋakɔ gã ma de asi na Israelviwo, eye wonya wo va se ɖe keke Sidon du gã la me kple Misrefat Maim heyi Mizpa balime le ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo. Futɔwo dometɔ aɖeke metsi agbe o.
uThixo wabanikela esandleni sika-Israyeli. Babanqoba, baxotshana labo baze babafikisa eSidoni Enkulu kusiya eMisirefothi-Mayimi, leSigodini seMizipha empumalanga kwaze kwasala kungelamuntu ophilayo.
9 Yosua kple eƒe amewo tu ata na futɔwo ƒe sɔwo, eye wotɔ dzo woƒe tasiaɖamwo abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na wo ene.
UJoshuwa wenza kibo lokho ayekulaywe nguThixo: Waquma imisipha yamabhiza abo njalo watshisa izinqola zabo.
10 Esi wotrɔ gbɔna la, Yosua xɔ Hazor du, si nye fiadu na dukɔ ƒoƒu mawo katã, eye wòwu eƒe fia.
Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa waphenduka wabuyela emuva wathumba iHazori wasehlasela inkosi yakuleyo ndawo ngenkemba. (IHazori yayiyisigodlo sayo yonke imibuso leyo.)
11 Wowu ame sia ame le Hazor du la me, eye wotɔ dzo du la.
Wonke umuntu owayephakathi kwayo wabhujiswa ngenkemba. Bababhubhisa baphela, abaze batshiya lutho oluphefumulayo, watshisa iHazori ngokwayo.
12 Yosua dze fia mamlɛawo ƒe du bubuawo dzi. Wowu ameawo katã abe ale si Mose gblɔe da ɖi xoxo la ene.
UJoshuwa wathumba wonke amadolobho esikhosini lamakhosi awo wawahlasela ngenkemba. Wawabhubhisa wonke, njengokulaya kukaMosi inceku kaThixo.
13 Ke Yosua metɔ dzo du siwo nɔ togbɛwo dzi la ya o, negbe Hazor ko.
Kukanti-ke u-Israyeli kazange atshise loba yiwaphi amadolobho ayakhelwe emadundulwini ngaphandle kweHazori, eyatshiswa nguJoshuwa.
14 Israelviwo ha du siwo wotsrɔ̃ la ƒe nuwo kple lãwo na wo ɖokuiwo, ke wowu amegbetɔwo katã,
Abako-Israyeli bathatha zaba ngezabo zonke impahla ababezithumbile okwakugoqela izifuyo zamadolobho la bahamba lakho kodwa bonke abantu bababhubhisa ngenkemba baphela du, bengatshiyi lutho oluphefumulayo.
15 elabena nenemae Yehowa ɖo na eƒe dɔla, Mose, eya hã gblɔ ɖoɖo ma na Yosua, eye eya hã wɔ nu si wogblɔ nɛ. Yosua wɔ se siwo katã Yehowa de na Mose la dzi.
Njengoba uThixo walaya inceku yakhe uMosi, uMosi laye walaya uJoshuwa, uJoshuwa wakwenza lokho: katshiyanga lutho lungenziwanga ezintweni zonke uThixo owazilaya uMosi.
16 Ale Yosua ɖu anyigba blibo la dzi. Exɔ Negeb kple Gosenyigba kple Araba kple Israel ƒe tonyigbawo kple sɔsɔeƒewo.
Ngakho uJoshuwa wathatha ilizwe lonke: ilizwe lamaqaqa, yonke iNegebi, isabelo sonke seGosheni, amawatha asentshonalanga, i-Arabha, lezintaba zako-Israyeli lamawatha azo,
17 Ale Israelviwo ƒe anyigba keke azɔ tso keke Halak to la gbɔ te ɖe Seir ŋu yi Baal Gad le Lebanon ƒe balime le Hermon to la te. Yosua wu teƒe mawo ƒe fiawo katã.
kusukela entabeni yeHalakhi, ephakama ngokuya eSeyiri, kusiya eBhali-Gadi esiGodini seLebhanoni ngaphansi kwentaba iHemoni. Wathumba wonke amakhosi awo, wawehlula, wawabulala.
18 Yosua tsɔ ƒe adre wɔ nu siawo katã.
UJoshuwa walwa impi lawo wonke amakhosi okwesikhathi eside.
19 Israelviwo mewɔ ŋutifafa kple du aɖeke me tɔwo o, negbe Hivitɔ siwo nɔ Gibeon ko. Wowu ame bubuawo katã,
Ngaphandle kwamaHivi ayehlala eGibhiyoni, kalikho idolobho loba elilodwa elenza isivumelwano sokuthula labako-Israyeli, kwabawathumba empini.
20 elabena Yehowa ɖo be dukɔ mawo nadi be yewoawɔ aʋa boŋ kple Israelviwo ɖe ŋutifafawɔwɔ teƒe. Eya ta wotsrɔ̃ wo nublanuimakpɔmakpɔtɔe abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene.
Ngoba kwakunguThixo owenza inhliziyo zawo zaba lukhuni zafuna ukulwa impi lo-Israyeli, ukwenzela ukuthi enelise ukubachitha baphele, ebabhubhisa okungelazwelo, njengokulaywa kukaMosi nguThixo.
21 Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Yosua tsrɔ̃ ame dzɔatsu siwo nye Anak ƒe dzidzimeviwo, ame siwo nɔ tonyigbawo dzi le Hebron, Debir, Anab, Yuda kple Israel. Ewu wo katã keŋkeŋ, eye wòtsrɔ̃ woƒe duwo gbidigbidi.
Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa waphuma wawabhubhisa ama-Anakhi elizweni lamaqaqa: kusukela eHebhroni, eDebhiri le-Anabhi, kusukela elizweni lonke lamaqaqa akoJuda. UJoshuwa wabhubhisa wababhuqa bona kanye lamadolobho abo.
22 Wo dometɔ aɖeke megasusɔ ɖe Israelnyigba dzi o, ke ɖewo ganɔ Gaza, Gat kple Asdod.
Akula ma-Anakhi asala esabelweni sabako-Israyeli; ngaphandle kweGaza iGathi le-Ashidodi lapho okwasila abanye bakhona.
23 Ale Yosua xɔ anyigba blibo la abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na Mose ene. Etsɔe na Israelviwo abe woƒe domenyinu ene, eye wòmae ɖe toawo dome. Ale aʋawɔwɔ nu tso le anyigba la dzi.
Ngakho uJoshuwa wathumba ilizwe lonke njengoba uThixo walaya uMosi, waselinika abako-Israyeli njengelifa kusiya ngokwahlukaniswa kwezizwana zabo. Ngakho-ke ilizwe laphumula ekulweni izimpi.
