1 Gbe ɖeka la, Mawudɔla aɖe tso Gilgal yi Bokim eye wògblɔ na Israelviwo be, “Mekplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi va anyigba si ŋugbe medo na mia tɔgbuiwo la dzi. Megblɔ na mi bena, nyemagbe nubabla si mewɔ kpli mi la dzi wɔwɔ o,
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasisenyuka isuka eGiligali isiya eBokimi, yathi: Ngalenyusa lisuka eGibhithe, ngaliletha elizweni engalifungela oyihlo, njalo ngathi: Kangiyikwephula isivumelwano sami lani kuze kube sephakadeni.
2 ne miawɔ ɖeka kple ame siwo le anyigba sia dzi o. Megagblɔ na mi be, miagbã woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo, ke nu ka ta mieɖo tom o?
Lani-ke kaliyikwenza isivumelwano labahlali balelilizwe, lizadiliza amalathi abo. Kodwa kalililalelanga ilizwi lami. Kuyini lokhu elikwenzileyo?
3 Esi miegbe míaƒe nubabla la dzi wɔwɔ ta la, nubabla la megabla nye hã o eya ta nyemagado ŋugbe be matsrɔ̃ dukɔ siwo le miaƒe anyigba dzi o, ke boŋ woanye ŋu anɔ axadame na mi eye woƒe mawuwo anye tetekpɔ na mi ɣe sia ɣi.”
Ngakho lami ngathi: Kangiyikuzixotsha elifeni phambi kwenu, kodwa zizakuba njengameva enhlangothini zenu, labonkulunkulu bazo babe ngumjibila kini.
4 Esi Israelviwo se nya sia la, wofa avi hoo.
Kwasekusithi lapho ingilosi yeNkosi isikhulume lamazwi kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu baphakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi.
5 Ale wona ŋkɔ teƒe ma be Bokim si gɔmee nye “Avifaƒe” eye wosa vɔ na Yehowa.
Basebebiza ibizo laleyondawo ngokuthi yiBokimi, bayihlabela iNkosi lapho.
6 Esi Yosua ɖe asi le dukɔa ŋu la, ame sia ame yi ɖe eƒe domenyinu si nye anyigba si wòxɔ la dzi.
Kwathi uJoshuwa esebayekele abantu bahamba, abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahamba, ngulowo lalowo waya elifeni lakhe ukudla ilifa lelizwe.
7 Ameawo subɔ Yehowa le Yosua kple ametsitsi siwo nɔ agbe wòdidi wu Yosua la ƒe agbemeŋkekewo me eye wokpɔ nu dzɔatsu siwo katã Yehowa wɔ na Israel.
Abantu basebeyikhonza iNkosi kuzo zonke izinsuku zikaJoshuwa, lazo zonke izinsuku zabadala abasala bephila emva kukaJoshuwa, ababewubonile wonke umsebenzi omkhulu weNkosi eyayiwenzele uIsrayeli.
8 Yosua, Nun ƒe vi, Yehowa ƒe dɔla ku esi wòxɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka kple ewo,
UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, inceku yeNkosi, wafa-ke, eleminyaka elikhulu letshumi.
9 eye woɖii ɖe anyigba si ƒe dome wònyi le Timnat Heres le Efraim ƒe tonyigba dzi le Gaas to la ƒe anyiehe.
Basebemngcwabela emngceleni welifa lakhe eThiminathi-Heresi entabeni yakoEfrayimi, enyakatho kwentaba iGahashi.
10 Mlɔeba la, dzidzime mawo katã ku. Dzidzime si kplɔ wo ɖo la menya Yehowa loo alo nu siwo wòwɔ na Israel o.
Njalo lalesosizukulwana sabuthelwa kuboyise. Kwasekusukuma esinye isizukulwana emva kwabo esasingayazi iNkosi njalo lomsebenzi eyayiwenzele uIsrayeli.
11 Tete Israelviwo wɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume eye wosubɔ Baalwo.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, bakhonza oBhali.
12 Woɖe asi le Yehowa, ame si nye wo fofowo ƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔ wo tso Egiptenyigba dzi la ŋu eye wosubɔ dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo la ƒe mawuwo. Wodo dɔmedzoe na Mawu elabena
Batshiya iNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyise, eyabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe, balandela abanye onkulunkulu, kubonkulunkulu bezizwe ezazibazingelezele, bakhothama kibo, bayithukuthelisa iNkosi.
13 wogblẽe ɖi eye wosubɔ Baalwo kple Astarɔtwo.
Bayidela iNkosi, bakhonza uBhali laboAshitarothi.
14 Le Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe si wòdo ɖe Israel ŋu ta la, etsɔ wo de asi na adzohawo eye woha wo. Etsɔ wo dzra na woƒe futɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo, ame siwo nu womagate ŋu nɔ te ɖo o.
Ngakho ulaka lweNkosi lwavutha kuIsrayeli, yabanikela esandleni sabaphangi ababaphangayo; yabathengisa esandleni sezitha zabo inhlangothi zonke, ukuze bangabe besaba lakho ukuma phambi kwazo.
15 Ne Israelviwo yi aʋa wɔ ge la, Yehowa megakpena ɖe wo ŋu o ale woɖua wo dzi abe ale si wòka atam na wo la ene eya ta wonɔ xaxa gã aɖe me.
Loba bephuma besiya ngaphi, isandla seNkosi samelana labo ngokubi, njengokutsho kweNkosi lanjengokufunga kweNkosi kibo, njalo bacindezeleka kakhulu.
16 Yehowa ɖo Ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo na wo, ame siwo ɖe wo tso adzoha siawo ƒe asi me.
INkosi yasimisa abahluleli ababophula esandleni salabo ababaphangayo.
17 Ke hã la, womeɖo to woƒe Ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo o, ke boŋ wodze mawu bubuwo yome hesubɔ wo. Womenɔ abe wo fofowo ene o, wotrɔ le mɔ si dzi wo fofowo zɔ le la dzi kaba, mɔ si nye toɖoɖo Yehowa ƒe sededewo.
Kanti kababalalelanga labahluleli babo, kodwa baphinga ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu, bakhothama kibo; baphambuka masinyane endleleni oyise ababehamba kuyo, belalela imilayo yeNkosi. Bona kabenzanga njalo.
18 Ne Yehowa ɖo Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la aɖe na wo la, enɔa anyi kple Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la ma, eye wòɖea wo tso woƒe futɔwo ƒe asi me zi ale si Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la ma le agbe elabena Yehowa kpɔa nublanui na wo ne wole ŋeŋem le ame siwo le wo tem ɖe anyi, le funyafunya wɔm wo la ƒe kɔkuti te.
Lalapho iNkosi ibamisela abahluleli, iNkosi yayilomahluleli, yabophula esandleni sezitha zabo zonke izinsuku zikamahluleli; ngoba iNkosi yazisola ngenxa yokububula kwabo ngenxa yalabo ababacindezelayo lababahlukuluzayo.
19 Ke ne Ʋɔnudrɔ̃la ma ku la, ameawo galéa mɔ siwo vɔ̃ɖi wu wo fofowo tɔ la tsɔna, eye wodzea mawu bubuwo yome, dea ta agu na wo hesubɔa wo. Wogbe be yewomaɖe asi le woƒe nuwɔna kple mɔ vɔ̃ɖiwo ŋuti o.
Kwasekusithi ekufeni kukamahluleli, babuyela emuva baxhwala okwedlula oyise, ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu, ngokubakhonza langokubakhothamela; kabalahlanga okwemisebenzi yabo lokwendlela yabo yenkani.
20 Le esia ta Yehowa do dɔmedzoe vevie ɖe Israel ŋu hegblɔ be, “Esi dukɔ sia tu nu si mebla kple wo fofowo eye womeɖo tom o ta la,
Ngakho ulaka lweNkosi lwavutha kuIsrayeli, yathi: Ngoba lesisizwe seqe isivumelwano sami engasilaya oyise, kasilalelanga ilizwi lami,
21 nyemaganya dukɔ siwo Yosua metsrɔ̃ hafi ku o la le wo ŋgɔ o;
lami kangisayikuxotsha loba ngubani elifeni phambi kwabo ezizweni uJoshuwa azitshiya ekufeni kwakhe,
22 ke boŋ mawɔ dukɔ siawo ŋu dɔ, ado nye dukɔ, Israel kpɔ, ale be manya ne woaɖo to Yehowa azɔ le eƒe mɔ dzi abe wo fofowo ene loo alo womaɖo toe o.”
ukuze ngihlole ngazo uIsrayeli ukuthi bazagcina yini indlela yeNkosi ukuhamba kuyo njengaboyise bayigcina, kumbe hatshi.
23 Ale Yehowa gblẽ dukɔ siawo ɖe anyigba la dzi; menya wo ɖa zi ɖeka to wo tsɔtsɔ de asi na Yosua me o.
Ngakho iNkosi yaziyekela lezozizwe, ukuze ingazixotshi elifeni masinyane, njalo kayizinikelanga esandleni sikaJoshuwa.
