Yosua 22
1 Azɔ la, Yosua yɔ Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe to la ƒe afã la ƒo ƒui.
Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wabiza abakoRubeni labakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sabakoManase,
2 Egblɔ na wo be, “Miewɔ nu sia nu si Mose, Yehowa ƒe dɔla ɖo na mi be miawɔ, eye miewɔ nye sewo katã hã dzi.
wathi kubo: Lina ligcinile konke uMozisi inceku yeNkosi eyalilaya khona, lalilalela ilizwi lami kukho konke engalilaya khona.
3 Miegblẽ mia nɔvi Israelvi bubuawo ɖi kpɔ gbeɖe o togbɔ be aʋa la xɔ ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe alea hã.
Kalibatshiyanga abafowenu kulezinsuku ezinengi, kuze kube lamuhla; kodwa ligcinile imfanelo yomlayo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
4 Azɔ la, Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la na dziɖuɖu kple dzudzɔ mí abe ale si wòdo ŋugbe ene, eya ta miyi miaƒe anyigba si Mose, Yehowa ƒe dɔla na mi le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ la dzi azɔ.
Khathesi-ke, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ibanikile abafowenu ukuphumula, njengalokho akukhuluma kubo. Ngakho-ke buyelani lina liye emathenteni enu elizweni lelifa lenu, alinika lona uMozisi inceku yeNkosi ngaphetsheya kweJordani.
5 Mikpɔ egbɔ be mieyi se siwo Mose de na mi la wɔwɔ dzi, milɔ̃ Yehowa, eye mizɔ ɖe ɖoɖo siwo wòwɔ ɖe miaƒe agbenɔnɔ ŋu la nu. Milé ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋu, eye miasubɔe kple miaƒe dzi blibo kple miaƒe luʋɔ blibo.”
Kuphela liqaphelisise ukwenza umlayo lomthetho uMozisi inceku yeNkosi alilaya wona, ukuthanda iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, lokuhamba endleleni zayo zonke, lokugcina imilayo yayo, lokunamathela kuyo, lokuyikhonza ngenhliziyo yenu yonke langomphefumulo wenu wonke.
6 Le esia megbe la, Yosua yra wo, eye wòɖo wo ɖe woƒe anyigbawo dzi.
Wasebabusisa uJoshuwa ebayekela behamba, baya emathenteni abo.
7 Mose tsɔ anyigba na Manase ƒe to afã la ɖe Basan, eye Yosua na anyigba to la ƒe afã la ɖe Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒekpa dzi kple wo nɔviŋutsuwo. Esi Yosua ɖo wo ɖe aƒe me la, edo mɔ wo kple yayranya siawo
Njalo kungxenye yesizwe sakoManase uMozisi wayenike indawo eBashani; kodwa kungxenye yayo uJoshuwa wayinika indawo labafowabo nganeno kweJordani entshonalanga. Njalo-ke nxa uJoshuwa ebayekela behamba besiya emathenteni abo, wababusisa.
8 be: “Migbugbɔ yi míaƒe aƒewo me kple miaƒe kesinɔnu gbogboawo, lãha gãwo, klosalo, sika, akɔbli kple gayibɔ kple nudodo gbogboawo, eye mima afunyinu siwo mieha le míaƒe futɔwo si la kple mia nɔviŋutsuwo.”
Wakhuluma labo esithi: Buyelani emathenteni enu lilenotho enengi lezifuyo ezinengi kakhulu lilesiliva legolide lethusi lensimbi lezigqoko ezinengi kakhulu; lehlukaniselane impango yezitha zenu labafowenu.
9 Ale Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã la dzo le Israelviwo ƒe aʋakɔ la me le Silo, le Kanaanyigba dzi. Wotso tɔsisi la heyi woƒe anyigba dzi le Gilead.
Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase basebebuyela, besuka ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli bephuma eShilo eselizweni leKhanani, ukuya elizweni leGileyadi, elizweni lelifa labo ababelizuzile, ngokomlayo weNkosi ngesandla sikaMozisi.
10 Ke hafi woatso Yɔdan adzo le Kanaanyigba dzi la, wotu ŋkuɖodzikpe gã aɖe abe vɔsamlekpui ene be ame sia ame nakpɔ.
Kwathi sebefikile emingceleni yeJordani eselizweni leKhanani, abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase bakha khona ilathi ngaseJordani, ilathi elikhulu ngokubonakala.
11 Ke esi Israelvi bubuawo se nu si wowɔ la,
Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli besizwa kuthiwa: Khangelani, abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase bakhile ilathi maqondana lelizwe leKhanani emingceleni eJordani ehlangothini lwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
12 woƒo ƒu aʋawɔla aɖewo nu le Silo be yewoawɔ aʋa kple yewo nɔvi Israel ƒe to eve kple afã ma me tɔwo.
Kwathi abantwana bakoIsrayeli bekuzwa, inhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yabuthana eShilo ukwenyukela kubo empini.
13 Gbã la, Israelviwo na Finehas, nunɔla Eleazar ƒe vi, kplɔ ame dɔdɔ aɖewo tso tɔsisi la, eye woƒo nu kple wo nɔvi Ruben ƒe viwo, Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã la.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebethuma kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase elizweni leGileyadi uPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi,
14 Ame dɔdɔawo nye Israel ƒe amegãwo; ame ɖeka tso to ewoawo dometɔ ɖeka ɖe sia ɖe me, eye wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nye hlɔ̃ aɖe ƒe kplɔla.
lezinduna ezilitshumi laye, induna eyodwa ngendlu ngayinye yaboyise ivela kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli; ngayinye yayiyinhloko yendlu yaboyise, kunkulungwane zakoIsrayeli.
15 Esi woɖo Gilead la, wogblɔ na Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã bena,
Basebefika kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lengxenyeni eyodwa kwezimbili yesizwe sakoManase elizweni leGileyadi, bakhuluma labo besithi:
16 “Yehowa ƒe ameha blibo la di be yeanya nu si ta miele nu vɔ̃ wɔm ɖe Israel ƒe Mawu la ŋu, mietrɔ le eyome hetu vɔsamlekpui, eye miedze aglã ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
Itsho njalo inhlangano yonke yeNkosi: Kuyisiphambeko bani eseliphambeke ngaso limelane loNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, liphambuka lamuhla ekuyilandeleni iNkosi, ekuzakheleni ilathi, ukuze lihlamukele iNkosi lamuhla?
17 “Ɖe nu vɔ̃ si míewɔ le Peor mesɔ gbɔ na mi oa? Míekɔ mía ɖokui ŋuti tso nu vɔ̃ ma ŋu haɖe va se ɖe egbe o, togbɔ be dɔvɔ̃ va dze Yehowa ƒe amewo dzi hã.
Ngabe isiphambeko sePeyori sincinyane kakhulu kithi yini, esingahlanjululwanga kuso kuze kube lamuhla, lanxa inhlupheko yayiphakathi kwenhlangano yeNkosi,
18 Ɖe miegale tɔtrɔm le Yehowa yome xoxoa? Elabena mienya be ne yewodze aglã ɖe Yehowa ŋu egbe la, ado dɔmedzoe ɖe mí katã ŋu etsɔ si gbɔna.
ukuze lina liphenduke lamuhla ekuyilandeleni iNkosi? Kuzakuthi uba lina liyihlamuka iNkosi lamuhla, kusasa izayithukuthelela inhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli.
19 Ne miehiã vɔsamlekpui, elabena wogblẽ kɔ ɖo na miaƒe anyigba ta la, ekema miva kpe mí le míaƒe nɔƒe le tɔsisi la godo, afi si Yehowa le mía dome le, le eƒe Agbadɔ la me, eye míama míaƒe anyigba na mi. Ke migadze aglã ɖe Yehowa ŋu to vɔsamlekpui bubu tutu me kpe ɖe míaƒe Mawu ƒe vɔsamlekpui vavã ɖeka la ŋu o.
Kodwa ngeqiniso, uba ilizwe lemfuyo yenu lingcolile, chaphelani lina elizweni lemfuyo yeNkosi lapho ithabhanekele leNkosi elihlala khona, lizizuzele imfuyo phakathi kwethu; kodwa lingayihlamukeli iNkosi njalo lingasihlamukeli ekuzakheleni kwenu ilathi ngaphandle kwelathi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
20 Ɖe mieɖo ŋku edzi be esime Akan, Zera ƒe vi, wɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa ŋu la, wohe to na dukɔ blibo la, kpe ɖe ame ɖeka ma si wɔ nu vɔ̃ ŋu o mahã?”
UAkani indodana kaZera kaphambekanga yini ngesiphambeko entweni eqalekisiweyo, kwasekusiba lolaka phezu kwenhlangano yonke yakoIsrayeli? Leyondoda kayibhubhanga-ke yodwa esiphambekweni sayo.
21 Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã ɖo eŋu na Israelviwo ƒe tatɔwo be,
Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase basebephendula bathi kunhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli:
22 “Ŋusẽtɔ lae nye Yehowa, mawuwo dzi Mawu lae nya nu si ta míetu vɔsamlekpui la, eye míedi be miawo hã mianya! Ne míedze aglã, eye míewɔ nuteƒe na Yehowa o la, ekema migana míanɔ agbe o!
UNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu, iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wabonkulunkulu, iNkosi, uyazi, loIsrayeli kakwazi; uba bekungokuhlamuka kumbe uba ngokuphambuka eNkosini, lingasisindisi lamuhla,
23 Ne míeda le Yehowa ƒe se dzi, eye míetu míawo ŋutɔ ƒe vɔsamlekpui be míasa numevɔ alo nuɖuvɔ loo alo ŋutifafavɔ le edzi la, ekema Yehowa ŋutɔ nahe to na mí.
ukuthi sizakhele ilathi ukuphambuka ekuyilandeleni iNkosi, loba sinikelele phezu kwalo umnikelo wokutshiswa loba umnikelo wokudla, loba ukwenza phezu kwalo iminikelo yokuthula, iNkosi uqobo kayikudinge.
24 Míewɔ nu sia, elabena míevɔ̃ be mia viwo agblɔ na mía viwo be, ‘Mɔ ka miekpɔ asubɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la?
Kodwa ngeqiniso sikwenze ngokunqineka ngaloludaba sisithi: Kusasa abantwana benu bazakhuluma kubantwana bethu bathi: Lilani leNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli?
25 Yehowa wɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la wònye liƒo le míawo kple mi Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo dome, kadodo aɖeke mele miawo kple Yehowa dome o.’ Ekema miaƒe dzidzimeviwo ana míaƒe dzidzimeviwo nadzudzɔ Yehowa subɔsubɔ,
Ngoba iNkosi iyenzile iJordani yaba ngumngcele phakathi kwethu lani, lina bantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi, kalilasabelo eNkosini. Ngalokho abantwana benu benze abantwana bethu ukuthi bayekele ukuyesaba iNkosi.
26 eya tae míetu vɔsamlekpui aɖe, menye hena numevɔsawo alo akpedavɔsawo o,
Ngakho sathi: Kasizilungiseleni khathesi ukwakha ilathi, lingabi ngelomnikelo wokutshiswa, njalo lingabi ngelomhlatshelo,
27 ke boŋ be wòanye dzesi anɔ míawo kple miawo siaa dome kple dzesi na dzidzime siwo ava kplɔ mí ɖo la be míesubɔa Yehowa le agbadɔ kɔkɔe sia ŋgɔ kple míaƒe nunanawo hena numevɔsawo kple ŋutifafavɔsawo. Míewɔ esia ale be miaƒe dzidzimeviwo magblɔ na míaƒe dzidzimeviwo be, ‘Kadodo aɖeke mele miawo kple Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la dome o.’
kodwa libe yibufakazi phakathi kwethu lani lezizukulwana zethu emva kwethu, ukuthi sikhonze inkonzo yeNkosi phambi kwayo ngeminikelo yethu yokutshiswa langemihlatshelo yethu langeminikelo yethu yokuthula, ukuze abantwana benu bangathi ebantwaneni bethu kusasa: Kalilasabelo eNkosini.
28 Ne woagblɔ alea la, mía viwo ate ŋu aɖe wo ɖokuiwo nu be, ‘Mikpɔ Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui si mía fofowo tu ɖa! Wotui ɖe Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe nɔnɔme nu. Wometui na numevɔsa kple vɔsa bubuawo o, ke boŋ wotui be wòanye kadodo anɔ míawo kple miawo dome, eye wòaganye Yehowa ƒe dzesi.’
Sasesisithi: Kuzakuthi-ke, nxa bekhuluma lokhu kithi lesizukulwaneni sethu kusasa, sizakuthi: Bonani umfanekiso welathi leNkosi obaba abalakhayo, kungeyisilo lomnikelo wokutshiswa lingeyisilo lomhlatshelo, kodwa liyibufakazi phakathi kwethu lani.
29 “Nede megbe xaa tso mía gbɔ be, míagbugbɔ le Yehowa yome alo atsi tsitre ɖe eŋu to vɔsamlekpuiɖiɖi me na mía ɖokui hena numevɔsa kple nuɖuvɔsa kple vɔsa bubuawo. Vɔsamlekpui si le Agbadɔ la ŋkume ko ŋu dɔ míawɔ na vɔsasa.”
Kakube khatshana lathi ukuthi siyihlamuke iNkosi, lokuthi siphenduke lamuhla ekuyilandeleni iNkosi, ukwakha ilathi lomnikelo wokutshiswa lelomnikelo wokudla lelomhlatshelo, ngaphandle kwelathi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu eliphambi kwethabhanekele layo.
30 Esi Finehas, nunɔla la kple Israelviwo ƒe tatɔwo se nya siawo tso Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã la nu la, wokpɔ dzidzɔ ŋutɔ.
Kwathi uPhinehasi umpristi lenduna zenhlangano lenhloko zezinkulungwane zakoIsrayeli ezazilaye bewezwa amazwi abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi labantwana bakoManase abawakhulumayo, kwakukuhle emehlweni abo.
31 Finehas si nye Eleaza vi gblɔ na wo be, “Míenya egbe be, Yehowa le mía dome, elabena míewɔ nu vɔ̃ ɖe Yehowa ŋu abe ale si míebu ene o, ke boŋ mieɖe mí tso tsɔtsrɔ̃ me!”
UPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi wasesithi kubantwana bakoRubeni lakubantwana bakoGadi lakubantwana bakoManase: Lamuhla siyazi ukuthi iNkosi iphakathi kwethu, ngoba kaliphambekanga lesisiphambeko eNkosini; khathesi likhulule abantwana bakoIsrayeli esandleni seNkosi.
32 Finehas kple ame dɔdɔ ewoawo trɔ yi Israelvi bubuawo gbɔ, eye woɖe nu si dzɔ la me na wo.
UPhinehasi indodana kaEleyazare umpristi lezinduna basebebuyela bevela ebantwaneni bakoRubeni lebantwaneni bakoGadi elizweni leGileyadi, besiya elizweni leKhanani ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, babuyisela ilizwi kubo.
33 Tete Israel blibo la tso aseye, kafu Mawu, eye womegagblɔ nya aɖeke tso aʋawɔwɔ kple Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo ŋu o.
Lodaba lwaluluhle emehlweni abantwana bakoIsrayeli; abantwana bakoIsrayeli bambusisa uNkulunkulu, kabasakhulumanga ngokwenyukela kubo empini ukuchitha ilizwe abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi ababehlala kulo.
34 Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo na ŋkɔ vɔsamlekpui la be, “Ɖaseɖiɖi ƒe Vɔsamlekpui,” elabena wogblɔ be, “Vɔsamlekpui la nye ɖaseɖiɖi le míawo kple woawo dome be Yehowae nye míaƒe Mawu.”
Abantwana bakoRubeni labantwana bakoGadi balibiza ilathi ngokuthi: Liyibufakazi phakathi kwethu bokuthi iNkosi inguNkulunkulu.
