Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Nsuro anaasɛ mma wʼakoma nntu. Fa wʼasraadɔm no nyinaa na kɔto hyɛ Ai so, ɛfiri sɛ, mede Aihene, ne nkurɔfoɔ, ne kuropɔn ne nʼasase ama wo.
2 Ĩkai itũũra rĩa Ai na mũthamaki warĩo o ta ũrĩa mwekire itũũra rĩa Jeriko na mũthamaki warĩo, o tiga atĩrĩ, no muoye indo iria mũgũtaha, o na mahiũ matuĩke manyu. Oheriai andũ a itũũra rĩu inene na mwena wa na thuutha.”
Wobɛsɛe wɔn sɛdeɛ wosɛee Yeriko ne ne ɔhene no. Nanso, saa ɛberɛ yi deɛ, motumi fa asadeɛ ne anantwie no. Ma wʼasraafoɔ no nkɔtɛ kuropɔn no akyi.”
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua na mbũtũ yothe ya ita makiumagara magatharĩkĩre Ai. Nake agĩthuura andũ 30,000 arĩa maarĩ njamba mũno akĩmatũma mathiĩ kũrĩ ũtukũ,
Na Yosua ne Israel akodɔm no siim sɛ wɔrekɔto ahyɛ Ai so. Yosua yii akodɔm ɔpeduasa, somaa wɔn anadwo,
4 akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Ta thikĩrĩriai wega. Inyuĩ mũkuoheria andũ a itũũra rĩu inene na mwena warĩo wa na thuutha. Mũtigaikare haraaya narĩo. Inyuothe mũikare mwĩiguĩte.
hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔtɛ wɔ atɛeɛ a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no akyi na monyɛ krado mma ɔko.
5 Niĩ na arĩa othe tũrĩ nao tũgũthengerera itũũra rĩu inene kuuma na mbere na rĩrĩa andũ acio mariumagara gũtũhũũra o ta ũrĩa meekire hĩndĩ ya mbere-rĩ, tũmoorĩre.
Sɛ yɛn asraafoɔ no to hyɛ Ai so a, Ai mmarima bɛfiri adi abɛko, sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ kane no, na yɛbɛdwane.
6 Nao matũingatithie o nginya tũmaguucĩrĩrie biũ moime itũũra rĩu inene, nĩgũkorwo mariuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ ithuĩ maroorĩra ta ũrĩa meekire rĩa mbere.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa tũrĩĩmoorĩra-rĩ,
Yɛbɛma wɔataa yɛn ara kɔsi sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛfiri kuropɔn no mu. Na wɔbɛka sɛ ‘Israelfoɔ no redwane sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ kane no.’
7 inyuĩ na inyuĩ mũkĩre muume kũrĩa mũmooheirie, mũtharĩkĩre itũũra rĩu inene na mũrĩtunyane. Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ manyu.
Afei mobɛfiri mo atɛeɛ hɔ ntɛm so akɔfa kuropɔn no, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de bɛma mo.
8 Na rĩrĩ, mwarĩkia kwĩgwatĩra itũũra rĩu inene-rĩ, mũrĩcine. Ĩkai o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte gwĩkwo. Mũtigĩrĩre nĩ mweka ũguo ndamwatha.”
Monto kuropɔn no mu ogya sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no. Monim deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ.”
9 Nake Joshua akĩmeera moimagare, nao magĩthiĩ harĩa maathiiaga kuoheria andũ a itũũra rĩu, na makĩĩhitha metereire gatagatĩ ka Betheli na Ai, mwena wa ithũĩro wa Ai, no Joshua araaranirie na andũ arĩa angĩ ũtukũ ũcio.
Enti, wɔfirii hɔ anadwo no kɔtɛɛ Bet-El ne Ai atɔeɛ fam ntam. Nanso, Yosua deɛ, ɔkaa nnipa no mu wɔ wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ anadwo no.
10 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene, Joshua agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ ake, nake we mwene hamwe na atongoria a Isiraeli makĩmatongoria marorete Ai.
Adeɛ kyee anɔpahema no, Yosua nyanee nʼakodɔm maa wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Ai a Israel ntuanofoɔ ka wɔn ho.
11 Mbũtũ yothe ya ita ĩrĩa yarĩ hamwe nake ĩgĩthiĩ yambatĩte, ĩgĩkuhĩrĩria itũũra rĩu inene mariumĩte na mbere. Nao makĩamba hema mwena wa gathigathini wa Ai, na hagĩkorwo nĩ haarĩ gĩtuamba gatagatĩ kao na itũũra rĩu inene.
Wɔkɔbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Ai atifi fam a bɔnhwa da wɔne kuropɔn no ntam.
12 Joshua nĩakoretwo oete andũ ta 5,000 na akamaiga moheirie andũ kũu gatagatĩ ka Betheli na Ai, mwena wa ithũĩro wa itũũra rĩu inene.
Anadwo no, Yosua somaa akodɔm mpem enum sɛ wɔnkɔtɛ Bet-El ne Ai ntam wɔ kuropɔn no atɔeɛ fam.
13 Magĩgĩatha thigari ciikare ciĩhaarĩirie o andũ handũ hao, iria ciothe ciarĩ kambĩ igĩikara mwena wa gathigathini wa itũũra rĩu inene, na iria cioheirie andũ mwena wa ithũĩro warĩo. Naguo ũtukũ ũcio Joshua agĩthiĩ kũraara kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ.
Enti, ɔmaa akodɔm no mu fa kɛseɛ gyinaa kuropɔn no atifi fam a na atɛfoɔ no bi nso wɔ kuropɔn no atɔeɛ fam. Yosua ankasa deɛ, ɔtenaa bɔnhwa no mu anadwo no.
14 Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Ai onire ũndũ ũcio, agĩũkĩra na ihenya rũciinĩ tene, akiumagara na ihenya hamwe na andũ othe a itũũra rĩu inene nĩguo agacemanie na Isiraeli marũe mbaara handũ hana haangʼethanĩire na Araba. No rĩrĩ, ndaigana kũmenya atĩ nĩmehithĩirwo na mwena wa thuutha wa itũũra rĩu inene.
Aihene hunuu sɛ Israelfoɔ no wɔ bɔnhwa no fa nohoa no, ntɛm so, ɔne nʼakodɔm nyinaa sɔree anɔpahema kɔtoaa Israelfoɔ no, to hyɛɛ wɔn so wɔ Araba. Nanso, na ɔnnim sɛ atɛfoɔ bi wɔ kuropɔn no akyi.
15 Nake Joshua na andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩĩtua ta mahũũrĩtwo magatoorio, nao makĩũra marorete na werũ-inĩ.
Yosua ne ne Israel akodɔm no dwane kɔɔ ɛserɛ no so yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Aifoɔ no adi wɔn so,
16 Nao andũ othe a itũũra rĩa Ai magĩĩtwo nĩguo mamarũmĩrĩre, nao magĩtengʼeria Joshua makĩguucĩrĩrio makiuma itũũra rĩao.
enti Aifoɔ no frɛɛ mmarima a wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu no nyinaa ma wɔbɛtaa Israelfoɔ no. Ɛyɛɛ saa maa wɔn nyinaa firii kuropɔn no mu.
17 Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme o na ũmwe wa Ai kana Betheli ũtoimire gũthiĩ gũkinyĩra andũ a Isiraeli. Magĩtiga itũũra rĩu rĩtaahingĩtwo magĩtengʼeria andũ a Isiraeli.
Anka obi biara wɔ Ai anaa Bet-El a wankɔtaa Israelfoɔ, na wɔgyaa kuro no maa ano daa hɔ.
18 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ambararia itimũ rĩu ũnyiitĩte na guoko, ũrĩrorie mwena wa Ai, nĩgũkorwo nĩngũneana itũũra rĩu inene moko-inĩ manyu.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua akĩambararia itimũ rĩake akĩrĩroria Ai.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Fa wo pea no kyerɛ Ai so, na mede kuropɔn no bɛma wo.” Enti, Yosua yɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔhyɛɛ noɔ no.
19 Na rĩrĩ, Joshua aarĩkia gwĩka ũguo, arũme arĩa moohetie andũ magĩũkĩra narua, magĩtengʼera na ihenya, magĩtoonya itũũra rĩu na makĩrĩtunyana, ningĩ makĩrĩgwatia mwaki o narua.
Yosua nyamaa atɛfoɔ no ara pɛ, wɔsɔree pankran bɔ wuraa kuropɔn no mu. Wɔfaa kuropɔn no na wɔtoo mu ogya.
20 Na rĩrĩa andũ acio a Ai maarorire na thuutha na makĩona ndogo yumĩte itũũra rĩu yambatĩte na igũrũ-rĩ, nao makĩaga mweke wa gwĩthara na mwena o na ũrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Isiraeli arĩa morĩte marorete werũ-inĩ nĩmagarũrũkĩire acio maamatengʼeragia.
Aifoɔ no hwɛɛ wɔn akyi hunuu sɛ wisie kumɔnn aduru soro, na wɔannya baabi ankɔ, ɛfiri sɛ Israelfoɔ no a wɔdwane kɔɔ ɛserɛ so no danee wɔn ani taa wɔn.
21 Rĩrĩa Joshua na Isiraeli othe moonire atĩ andũ ao arĩa mooheirie andũ thuutha wa itũũra nĩmarĩtunyanĩte, na makĩona ndogo ĩgĩtoga kuuma itũũra, makĩgarũrũka na makĩũraga andũ acio a Ai.
Ɛberɛ a Yosua ne Israelfoɔ a wɔaka no hunuu sɛ atɛfoɔ no afa kuropɔn no, na wisie ayɛ kumɔnn wɔ ewiem no, wɔdanee wɔn ho bɛto hyɛɛ Aifoɔ no so.
22 Nao andũ arĩa maamohetie makiuma itũũra rĩu inene matharĩkĩre. Andũ a Ai magĩgĩĩkĩrwo gatagatĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli, makĩmagĩa mbere na thuutha. Andũ a Isiraeli makĩmaniina, na matiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo, kana makĩreka o na ũmwe ahonoke.
Israelfoɔ a na wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu firii akyire hyɛɛ aseɛ kunkumm atamfoɔ no. Enti Ai mmarima no dii nsensɛn mu na wɔn nyinaa wuwuiɛ. Anka obi biara.
23 No nĩmanyiitire mũthamaki wa Ai arĩ muoyo, makĩmũtwarĩra Joshua.
Ai ɔhene nko ara na wɔkyeree no anikann de no brɛɛ Yosua.
24 Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maarĩkirie kũũraga andũ othe a Ai arĩa maarĩ gĩthaka-inĩ na kũu werũ-inĩ, kũrĩa maamatengʼereirie-rĩ, na rĩrĩa andũ acio othe maarĩkirie kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩcooka Ai na makĩũraga andũ arĩa othe maarĩ kuo.
Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ akodɔm kunkumm Ai mmarima a wɔpue firii kuropɔn no mu wieeɛ no, wɔsane kɔɔ kuropɔn no mu kɔkunkumm wɔn a wɔaka wɔ mu nyinaa.
25 Andũ arĩa mooragirwo mũthenya ũcio maarĩ andũ 12,000, arũme na andũ-a-nja; nao nĩo andũ othe a itũũra rĩa Ai.
Enti ɛda no, wɔkunkumm nnipa a wɔwɔ Ai nyinaa; na wɔn ano si mpem dumienu.
26 Nĩgũkorwo Joshua ndaigana gũthuna guoko kũrĩa kwambararĩtie itimũ rĩake nginya rĩrĩa aarĩkirie kũniina andũ arĩa othe maatũũraga Ai.
Yosua sɔɔ ne pea no mu saa ara kɔsii sɛ obiara a ɔte Ai no, wɔsɛee no pasaa.
27 Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩkuuĩra ũhiũ na indo iria maatahĩte kuuma itũũra rĩu inene, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Joshua.
Anantwie ne agyapadeɛ a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mu nko ara na wɔansɛe no; Israelfoɔ no ankasa faeɛ, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Yosua no.
28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩcina Ai na akĩrĩtua hĩba ya mwanangĩko ya gũtũũra, gũgĩtuĩka kũndũ gũkirĩte ihooru nginya ũmũthĩ.
Enti, Ai bɛdanee mmubuiɛ esie ne asase bonini de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
29 Joshua agĩcooka agĩcuuria mũthamaki ũcio wa Ai mũtĩ igũrũ, akĩreka aikare ho o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Riũa rĩgĩthũa-rĩ, Joshua agĩathana atĩ mwĩrĩ ũcio ũrutwo mũtĩ igũrũ, ũikio hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra rĩu, magĩcooka makĩũigĩrĩra hĩba nene ya mahiga, nayo ĩrĩ o ho nginya ũmũthĩ.
Yosua sɛnee Ai ɔhene wɔ dua bi so gyaa no dua no so kɔsii anwummerɛ. Owia kɔtɔeɛ no, Israelfoɔ no yii amu no de no kɔtoo kuropɔn no ɛpono ano. Wɔhyɛɛ aboɔ esie wɔ ne so a ɛda so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
30 Thuutha wa ũguo Joshua agĩakĩra Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, kĩgongona o kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ebali,
Yosua sii afɔrebukyia maa Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, wɔ Ebal bepɔ so.
31 o ta ũrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aathĩte andũ a Isiraeli. Aagĩakire o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ wa Ibuku rĩa Watho wa Musa, kĩgongona kĩrĩ kĩa mahiga matarĩ maicũhie, hatarĩ indo cia wĩra cia kĩgera ikũhũthĩrwo ho. Igũrũ rĩakĩo makĩrutĩra Jehova maruta ma njino na magongona ma ũiguano.
Ɔdii nkyerɛkyerɛ a Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ atwerɛ wɔ Mmara Nwoma no mu sɛ, “Fa aboɔ a wɔntwaeɛ na wɔmfaa adwinnadeɛ nsensenee ho si afɔrebukyia ma me.” Na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
32 Nake Joshua akĩandĩka watho wa Musa igũrũ rĩa mahiga macio, aandĩkire andũ a Isiraeli marĩ ho makĩĩonagĩra.
Na Yosua twerɛɛ Mose Mmara no guu afɔrebukyia no aboɔ no so wɔ ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ no rehwɛ no.
33 Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli othe, na andũ a kũngĩ na ene bũrũri o ũndũ ũmwe, hamwe na athuuri ao, na anene na atuithania ciira, makĩrũgama mĩena yeerĩ ya ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova mangʼetheire athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ Alawii na nĩo maarĩkuuaga. Nuthu ya andũ yarũgamĩte mbere ya kĩrĩma kĩa Gerizimu, na nuthu ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩkarũgama mbere ya kĩrĩma kĩa Ebali, o ta ũrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aathanĩte mbere ĩyo rĩrĩa aarutanire ũhoro wa kũrathimaga andũ a Isiraeli.
Afei, Israelfoɔ nyinaa, ahɔhoɔ ne ɔmanfoɔ, ntuanofoɔ, adwumayɛfoɔ ne atemmufoɔ nyinaa, wɔkyɛɛ wɔn mu akuo mmienu. Ekuo baako gyinaa Gerisim bepɔ ayaase ɛnna ekuo baako nso gyinaa Ebal bepɔ ayaase. Akuo mmienu yi dii nhwɛanimu. Na Lewifoɔ asɔfoɔ a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no gyinaa wɔn mfimfini. Wɔyɛɛ yeinom nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ Mose nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɔnam so hyiraa Israelfoɔ no teɛ.
34 Thuutha ũcio, Joshua agĩthoma ciugo ciothe cia Watho, agĩthoma irathimo o na agĩthoma irumi, o ta ũrĩa kwaandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Watho.
Afei, Yosua kenkanee nhyira ne nnome nsɛm a Mose atwerɛ wɔ Mmara Nwoma no mu no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
35 Gũtirĩ kiugo o na kĩmwe kĩa iria ciothe Musa aathanĩte Joshua ataathomeire kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli, o hamwe na andũ-a-nja na ciana na andũ o kũngĩ arĩa maatũũranagia nao.
Asɛm biara a Mose ahyɛ no, Yosua kenkan kyerɛɛ ɔman mu no a mmaa, mmɔfra ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔne Israelfoɔ no teɛ no nso ka ho.
