Saa ɛberɛ no na Israel nni ɔhene. Na ɔbarima bi a ɔfiri Lewi abusuakuo mu te Efraim bepɔ asase no so akyirikyiri baabi. Ɛda bi, ɔde ɔbaa bi firi Betlehem a ɛwɔ Yuda baa fie sɛ ne mpena.
2 No thuriya ĩyo ĩkĩaga kwĩhokeka kũrĩ we. Nayo ĩkĩmũtiga ĩgĩcooka mũciĩ gwa ithe kũu Bethilehemu ya Juda. Thuutha wa gũkorwo kũu mĩeri ĩna,
Nanso, ɔbaa no anni no nokorɛ enti ɔsane kɔɔ nʼagya fie wɔ Betlehem. Abosome ɛnan akyi,

4 Mũthoni-we, ithe wa mũirĩtu ũcio, akĩmũringĩrĩria aikare; nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩikara hamwe nake mĩthenya ĩtatũ, arĩĩaga na akanyua, na agakoma kuo.
Ɔbaa no agya ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena nkyɛ kakra. Enti, ɔdii nnansa, didiiɛ, nomeeɛ, daa hɔ.
5 Mũthenya wa ĩna magĩũkĩra tene na akĩĩhaarĩria oimagare, no ithe wa mũirĩtu akĩĩra mũthoni-we ũcio atĩrĩ, “Wĩkenie na kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa; ũgĩcooke ũgĩthiĩ.”
Ne nna ɛnan so no, ɔbarima no sɔree anɔpa, pɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔ. Nanso, ɔbaa no agya ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Didi ansa na woakɔ.”
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio eerĩ magĩikara thĩ kũrĩa na kũnyua. Thuutha-inĩ ithe wa mũirĩtu akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha raara na wĩkenie.”
Enti, wɔn baanu no tenaa ase didiiɛ, nomeeɛ. Afei, ɔbaa no agya ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, da anadwo yi na gye wʼani.”
7 Na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio ookĩrire athiĩ, mũthoni-we akĩmũringĩrĩria araare; nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩraara ũtukũ ũcio.
Ɔbarima no sɔree sɛ anka ɔrekɔ, nanso, nʼase no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena. Enti, ɔpenee so daa hɔ anadwo no.
8 Rũciinĩ rwa mũthenya wa gatano, okĩra athiĩ, ithe wa mũirĩtu ũcio akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩkenie. Eterera nginya mĩaraho!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio eerĩ makĩrĩanĩra.
Nnanum so anɔpa no, ɔsɔree bio a ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔ. Nanso, bio, ɔbaa no agya kaa sɛ, “Didi ansa, na awiam kakra no wobɛtumi akɔ.” Enti, wɔsane didii bio.
9 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio, hamwe na thuriya yake na ndungata yake, mookĩrire mathiĩ, mũthoni-we, ithe wa mũirĩtu ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ta thikĩrĩria, nĩ hakuhĩ hwaĩ-inĩ raarĩrĩra nĩ ũndũ gũkirie gũtuka. Ikara ũhurũke. Rũciũ rũciinĩ tene no ũũkĩre ũinũke.”
Awia no, ɔbarima no ne ne mpena no ne ne ɔsomfoɔ boaboaa wɔn ho pɛɛ sɛ wɔkɔ. Nanso, nʼase no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Montie! Adeɛ reyɛ asa. Montena na monnye mo ani anadwo yi. Ɔkyena mobɛtumi asim anɔpahema.”
10 No rĩrĩ, tondũ ndendire gũikara ũtukũ ũngĩ, mũndũ ũcio akiuma kuo agĩthiĩ erekeire mwena wa Jebusi (na nĩkuo, Jerusalemu), arĩ na ndigiri ciake cierĩ ciohetwo matandĩko na thuriya yake.
Nanso, afei deɛ ɔbarima no pɛɛ sɛ ɔbɛkɔ. Enti ɔfaa ne mfunumu mmienu a wɔahyehyɛ wɔn no ne mpena no, na wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Yebus (a ɛyɛ Yerusalem).
11 Rĩrĩa maakuhĩrĩirie Jebusi na kũrĩ hakuhĩ gũtuka-rĩ, ndungata ĩyo ĩkĩĩra mwathi wayo atĩrĩ, “Rĩu-rĩ, reke tũtithie gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene rĩa Ajebusi tũraarĩrĩre kuo.”
Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Yebus no na adeɛ reyɛ asa, na ɔsomfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ne wura no sɛ, “Adeɛ reyɛ asa, enti momma yɛnna Yebusifoɔ kuropɔn yi mu anadwo yi.”
12 Mwathi wayo agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Aca. Tũtigũtoonya itũũra inene rĩa andũ ageni, andũ a rĩo ti Aisiraeli. Tũgũthiĩ nginya tũkinye Gibea.”
Ne wura no buaa sɛ, “Dabi, yɛrentumi ntena ananafoɔ kuropɔn a Israelfoɔ nni mu yi mu. Yɛbɛtoa so akɔ Gibea.
13 Nake akiuga o rĩngĩ atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũthiĩ tũgerie gũkinya Gibea kana Rama na tũrarĩrĩre itũũra rĩmwe rĩamo.”
Yɛbɛnya daberɛ anadwo yi wɔ Gibea anaa Rama.”
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ na mbere, narĩo riũa rĩgĩthũa magĩkorwo maakuhĩrĩria Gibea, kũu Benjamini.
Enti, wɔtoaa so. Wɔrebɛduru kuro Gibea a ɛwɔ Benyamin asase so no, na owia rekɔtɔ,
15 Kũu nĩkuo maatithirie maraarĩrĩre. Nao magĩthiĩ magĩikara thĩ kĩhaaro-inĩ kĩnene gĩa itũũra rĩu inene, no gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wamanyiitire ũgeni mararĩrĩre gwake.
Enti wɔdaa hɔ anadwo no. Wɔdaa kuro no abɔntene kɛseɛ so, na obiara amfa wɔn ankɔ fie ankɔsom wɔn hɔhoɔ.
16 Hwaĩ-inĩ ũcio, mũthuuri ũmwe mũkũrũ wa kuuma bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu, watũũraga Gibea, (andũ a kũu maarĩ Abenjamini), agĩũka oimĩte wĩra mĩgũnda-inĩ.
Anwummerɛ no, akɔkoraa bi firii nʼafuom baa fie. Na ɔfiri Efraim bepɔ asase so, nanso na ɔte Gibea wɔ Benyamin asase so.
17 Na rĩrĩa aarorire akĩona mũgendi ũcio hau kĩhaaro-inĩ gĩa itũũra inene, mũthuuri ũcio akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wathiĩ kũ na uumĩte kũ?”
Ɛberɛ a ɔhunuu akwantufoɔ yi sɛ wɔtete kuro no abɔntene kɛseɛ so no, ɔbisaa wɔn baabi a wɔfiri ne baabi a wɔrekorɔ.
18 Agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tuumĩte Bethilehemu ya Juda twerekeire kũndũ kũraya thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu kũrĩa ndũũraga. Ndĩrarĩ Bethilehemu ya Juda na rĩu ndĩrathiĩ nyũmba ya Jehova. Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũũnyiitĩte ũgeni gwake.
Ɔbarima no buaa no sɛ, “Yɛfiri Betlehem a ɛwɔ Yudea na yɛrekɔ Efraim bepɔ asase no so kuro bi a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri, na yɛrekɔ Awurade Asɔrefie. Nanso obiara amfa yɛn ankɔ ne fie ankɔpɛ yɛn daberɛ,
19 Ithuĩ tũrĩ na mahuti na irio cia ndigiri ciitũ na mĩgate na ndibei nĩ ũndũ witũ ithuĩ ndungata ciaku, niĩ, na ndungata yaku ya mũirĩtu, na mwanake ũyũ tũrĩ nake. Tũtikũbatario nĩ kĩndũ o na kĩ.”
ɛwom sɛ yɛwɔ deɛ ɛhia yɛn biara. Yɛwɔ ɛserɛ ne aduane a yɛde bɛma yɛn mfunumu; yɛwɔ burodo ne nsã.”
20 Nake mũthuuri ũcio mũkũrũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩũnyiitĩtwo ũgeni nyũmba-inĩ ĩno yakwa, reke ngũhe kĩrĩa gĩothe ũbatarĩtio nĩkĩo, no ndũkaraare kĩhaaro.”
Akɔkoraa no kaa sɛ, “Mommra mmɛsoɛ me. Mɛma mo biribiara a ɛbɛhia mo. Na mmom, anadwo yi deɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ moda abɔntene kɛseɛ so hɔ.”
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmũtoonyia nyũmba yake na akĩhe ndigiri ciake gĩa kũrĩa. Maarĩkia gwĩthamba magũrũ-rĩ, makĩrĩa na makĩnyua.
Enti, ɔfaa wɔn de wɔn kɔɔ ne fie, na ɔmaa wɔn mfunumu no aduane. Wɔhohoroo wɔn nan ase wieeɛ no, wɔbɔɔ mu didiiɛ.
22 Na hĩndĩ o ĩyo meekenagia-rĩ, andũ amwe aaganu a itũũra rĩu inene makĩrigiicĩria nyũmba ĩyo. Makĩhũũra mũrango, na makĩgũthũkĩra mũthuuri ũcio mũkũrũ ũrĩa warĩ mwene nyũmba ĩyo, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ruta mũndũ ũcio ũũkire nyũmba yaku nĩguo tũkome nake.”
Ɛberɛ a wɔregye wɔn ani no, kuro no mu nnipa bɔnefoɔ bi bɛtwaa fie no ho hyiaeɛ. Wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ pempem ɛpono no teateaam guu akɔkoraa no so sɛ, “Fa ɔbarima a wabɛsoɛ wo no ma yɛn sɛdeɛ yɛbɛtumi ne no ada.”
23 Mwene nyũmba ĩyo akiuma na nja akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Aca, arata akwa, mũtigeke ũndũ wa waganu ũguo. Kuona atĩ mũndũ ũyũ nĩ mũgeni wakwa-rĩ, tigai gwĩka ũndũ ũyũ wa thoni ũguo.
Akɔkoraa no firi baeɛ, bɛkasa kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Dabi, anuanom, monnyɛ bɔne a ɛte saa. Saa ɔbarima yi yɛ me hɔhoɔ na sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɛbɛyɛ animguaseɛ.
24 Thikĩrĩriai, haha harĩ mũirĩtu wakwa gathirange, na thuriya ya mũgeni ũyũ. Nĩngũmaruta na nja kũrĩ inyuĩ rĩu, na no mũmahũthĩre na mũmeke o ũrĩa mũngĩenda. No mũndũ ũyũ-rĩ, mũtikamwĩke ũndũ wa thoni ta ũcio.”
Me babaa ɔbaabunu ne ɔbarima yi mpena nie. Mede wɔn bɛma mo. Na deɛ mopɛ biara no monyɛ wɔn. Na mo ne saa ɔbarima yi nyɛ saa animguasedeɛ yi.”
25 No andũ acio matiigana kũmũthikĩrĩria. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũndũ ũcio akĩoya thuriya yake na akĩmĩruta na nja kũrĩ o, nao makĩmĩnyiita na hinya na makĩmĩnyariira ũtukũ wothe, na gwakĩa makĩreka ĩĩthiĩre.
Nanso, wɔantie no. Enti, Lewini no faa ne mpena no piaa no firii adi. Na kuro no mu mmarima no faa no nnidisoɔ nnidisoɔ kɔsii adekyeeɛ. Ahemadakye no na wɔgyaa no ma ɔkɔeɛ.
26 Na gũgĩthererũka-rĩ, mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio agĩcooka nyũmba kũrĩa mwathi wake aarĩ, akĩgũa thĩ hau mũrango-inĩ, na agĩkoma ho nginya gũgĩkĩa.
Ɔbaa no kɔduruu fie a ne kunu no te mu no ɛpono ano ara pɛ na ɔtɔɔ mum. Ɔdaa hɔ ara kɔsii sɛ anim teteeɛ.
27 Na rĩrĩa mwathi wake ookĩrire rũciinĩ na akĩhingũra mũrango wa nyũmba akiuma nja nĩguo ethiĩre-rĩ, thuriya yake yakomete hau ĩgwĩte mũromo-inĩ wa nyũmba, namo moko mayo maarĩ hingĩro-inĩ.
Ɛberɛ a ne kunu buee ɛpono sɛ ɔrepue pɛ na ɔhunuu sɛ ɔda hɔ. Na nʼanim butu hɔ a ne nsa gu aponnwa no so.
28 Nake akĩmĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra; reke tũthiĩ.” No ndĩacookirie. Nake mũndũ ũcio agĩcooka akĩmĩoya, akĩmĩigĩrĩra igũrũ rĩa ndigiri yake, makĩinũka.
Ɔhunuu no no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Sɔre! Ma yɛnkɔ!” Nanso, wammua. Enti, ɔde no too nʼafunumu no so de no kɔɔ efie.
29 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakinyire mũciĩ-rĩ, akĩoya kahiũ agĩtinangia thuriya yake kĩĩga o kĩĩga icunjĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ, agĩcitũma ngʼongo ciothe cia Isiraeli,
Ɔduruu fie no, ɔtwee sekan de twitwaa ne mpena no mu asinasini dumienu. Na ɔde esini baako biara kɔɔ Israel mmusuakuo dumienu no mu.
30 na mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa wonire ũndũ ũcio akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũndũ ta ũyũ ndũrĩ wonwo kana ũgĩĩkwo, kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli moimire bũrũri wa Misiri. Teciriei ũhoro ũcio na mũwĩcũũranie, mũtwĩre ũrĩa tũgwĩka!”
Na obiara a ɔhunuu saa aninyanneɛ yi kaa sɛ, “Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a Israel firii Misraim no, obi nnii saa amumuyɛsɛm yi bi da. Adɛn enti na ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛkasa na yɛyɛ ho biribi?”
