Yosua 5

1 Esi Amoritɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo kple Kanaantɔwo, ame siwo nɔ Domeƒu la nu se be Yehowa na Yɔdan tɔsisi la mie, ale be Israelviwo te ŋu zɔ ƒuƒuiƒe le tɔʋu la me hetso tɔsisia la, dzi ɖe le wo ƒo, eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo ŋutɔŋutɔ.

Mafumu onse a Aamori, a kummawa kwa Yorodani ndi mafumu onse a Akanaani a mʼmbali mwa Nyanja anamva momwe Yehova anawumitsira Yorodani pamene Aisraeli ankawoloka. Choncho anachita mantha ndi kutayiratu mtima chifukwa cha Aisraeliwo.

2 Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Tsɔ kpe nàwɔ hɛwo, eye nàtso aʋa na Israel ŋutsuwo katã.”

Tsono Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Panga mipeni ya miyala ndipo uchitenso mwambo wa mdulidwe pa Aisraeli.”

3 Yosua wɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo la dzi, eye wòtso aʋa na Israel ŋutsuwo katã le Aralɔt togbɛ la gbɔ.

Choncho Yoswa anapanga mipeni ya miyala ndi kuchita mdulidwe Aisraeli ku Gibeyati Haaraloti.

4 Azɔ la, susu si ta wòwɔe ɖo lae nye esi: ame siwo katã do tso Egipte, ŋutsu siwo katã ate ŋu ayi aʋa la ku ɖe gbea dzi esi wodo go tso Egipte.

Chifukwa chimene Yoswa anachitira izi ndi ichi: Onse amene anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto, amuna onse amene anali oyenera kumenya nkhondo anatha kufa mʼchipululu atatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.

5 Wotso aʋa na ame siwo katã do go tso Egipte, ke wometsoe na ame siwo katã wodzi le gbea dzi esi wodo go tso Egipte la o.

Anthu onse amene anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto anali atachita mwambo wa mdulidwe, koma onse amene anabadwira mʼchipululu, pa ulendo wochoka ku Igupto, sanachite.

6 Israel dukɔ la tsa tsaglalã le gbedzi ƒe blaene sɔŋ va se ɖe esime ŋutsu siwo katã tsi, eye woate ŋu ade aʋa esi wodzo le Egipte la ku. Womeɖo to Yehowa o, eya ta Yehowa ka atam be yemana woade anyigba si ŋugbe yedo na Israel, “Anyigba si dzi notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo” la dzi o.

Aisraeli anakhala akuyenda mʼchipululu kwa zaka makumi anayi mpaka amuna onse amene potuluka mʼdziko la Igupto anali a msinkhu woyenera kupita ku nkhondo anamwalira. Iwo anafa chifukwa sanamvere mawu a Yehova. Yehova anawalumbirira kuti sadzalowa konse mʼdziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi limene analonjeza kwa makolo awo kuti adzatipatsa.

7 Ale Yosua tso aʋa na wo viŋutsuwo, ame siwo tsi va xɔ ɖe wo fofowo teƒe la azɔ.

Koma ana awo amene analowa mʼmalo mwawo ndiwo amene Yoswa anawachita mdulidwe popeza sanachite pamene anali pa ulendo wawo mʼchipululu muja.

8 Esi wotso aʋa na ŋutsuawo vɔ la, dukɔ blibo la tɔ ɖe asaɖa la me va se ɖe esime abiawo ku.

Atamaliza kuchita mdulidwe uja, anthu onse anakakhala ku misasa yawo kudikira kuti zilonda zipole.

9 Yehowa gblɔ na Yosua be, “Egbe la, miaƒe kluvinyenye le Egipte ƒe ŋukpe la ɖe ɖa,” eya ta woyɔa teƒe ma va se ɖe egbe be Gilgal, si gɔmee nye, “Ɖeɖeɖa.”

Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Kuyambira tsopano anthu a ku Igupto sadzakunyozaninso.” Nʼchifukwa chake malowa anatchedwa Giligala mpaka lero.

10 Esime wonɔ asaɖa me le Gilgal le Yeriko gbedzi la, woɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui le ɣleti la ƒe ŋkeke wuienelia ƒe fiẽ.

Akupumulabe ku Giligala kuja mʼchigwa cha Yeriko, Aisraeli anachita chikondwerero cha Paska madzulo pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba womwewo.

11 Gbe ma gbe ƒe fɔŋlie nye ŋkeke gbãtɔ si dzi woɖu nukuwo tso Kanaanyigba la dzi; woɖu bli meme kple amɔ maʋamaʋã.

Mmawa mwake ndi pamene anayamba kudya zakudya za mʼdziko la Kanaani. Anaphika buledi wopanda yisiti ndi kukazinga tirigu tsiku lomwelo.

12 Esi ŋu ke la, mana megadza o, eye womegakpɔe kpɔ va se ɖe egbe o! Eya ta tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, woɖua Kanaanyigba dzi nukuwo.

Atangodya chakudya cha mʼdzikomo, mana anasiya kugwa, ndipo sanapezekenso. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo Aisraeli anayamba kudya chakudya cha mʼdziko la Kanaani.

13 Esime Yosua nɔ teƒe si te ɖe Yeriko ŋu, eye wòfɔ kɔ dzi ko la, ame aɖe si lé yi ɖe asi la do ɖe eŋkume kpoyi! Yosua te ɖe eŋu, eye wòbiae be, “Mía dzie nèle loo alo míaƒe futɔe nènye?”

Tsiku lina pamene Yoswa anali pafupi ndi Yeriko, anakweza maso ake ndipo mwadzidzidzi anaona munthu atayima patsogolo pake ndi lupanga losolola mʼdzanja lake. Yoswa anapita pamene panali munthuyo ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi uli mbali yathu kapena ya adani athu?”

14 Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa ƒe aʋakɔ ƒe Aʋafiae menye.” Yosua tsyɔ mo anyi, de ta agu nɛ kple vɔvɔ̃, eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Wò dɔlae menye; nu ka nèdi be mawɔ?”

Iye anayankha kuti “Sindili mbali iliyonse. Ndabwera monga mkulu wa asilikali a Yehova.” Pomwepo Yoswa anadzigwetsa chafufumimba kupereka ulemu, ndipo anamufunsa, “Kodi mbuye wanga muli ndi uthenga wotani kwa mtumiki wanu?”

15 Yehowa ƒe Aʋafia la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe wò afɔkpa le afɔ, elabena teƒe kɔkɔe aɖee nètsi tsitre ɖo!” Yosua wɔ nu si Aʋafia la ɖo nɛ, heɖe eƒe afɔkpa la le afɔ.

Mkulu wa asilikali a Yehova uja anayankha kuti, “Vula nsapato zako, pakuti wayima pa malo wopatulika.” Ndipo Yoswa anachitadi zimene anawuzidwazo.
