1 Ici nĩcio ndũrĩrĩ iria Jehova aatigirie kuo nĩguo ageragie andũ a Isiraeli arĩa mataamenyerete ũhoro wa mbaara cia kũu Kaanani.
Awurade gyaw aman bi wɔ asase no so a na ɔnam so pɛ sɛ ɔsɔ Israelfo a wɔnkɔɔ Kanaan ko no bi da hwɛ.
2 (Eekire ũguo nĩgeetha arute njiaro cia andũ a Isiraeli ũhoro wa mbaara tondũ njiaro icio itiamenyete ũhoro wa kũrũa mbaara).
Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ Israel nkyirimma a wɔnkɔɔ ɔko da no sɛnea wobenya akodi ho nimdeɛ.
3 Ndũrĩrĩ icio nĩcio ici: aathani arĩa atano a Afilisti, na Akaanani othe, na Asidoni, na Ahivi arĩa maatũũraga irĩma-inĩ cia Lebanoni kuuma Kĩrĩma kĩa Baali-Herimoni o nginya Lebo-Hamathu.
Saa aman no ni: Filistifo (wɔn a na wɔhyɛ Filistifo ahemfo baanum bi ase no), Kanaanfo nyinaa, Sidonfo, Hewifo a na wɔte Lebanon bepɔw no so fi Baal Hermon bepɔw ho de kosi Lebo Hamat.
4 Ciatigirio nĩgeetha igerie andũ a Isiraeli, nĩguo monwo kana nĩmarĩathĩkagĩra maathani ma Jehova marĩa aaheete maithe mao ma tene na guoko kwa Musa.
Wogyaw saa nkurɔfo yi de sɔɔ Israelfo no hwɛe, pɛɛ sɛ wohu sɛ wobedi mmara a Awurade nam Mose so hyɛ maa wɔn agyanom no so ana.
5 Andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũũrania na Akaanani, na Ahiti, na Aamori, na Aperizi, na Ahivi, na Ajebusi.
Enti Israelfo no tenaa Kanaanfo, Hetifo, Amorifo, Perisifo, Hewifo ne Yebusifo no mu.
6 Nao makĩhikia airĩtu ao, na makĩheana airĩtu ao mahikio nĩ aanake a andũ acio, na magĩtungatĩra ngai ciao.
Na wodii wɔn ho aware. Israelfo mmabarima no warewaree wɔn mmabea na wɔde Israelfo mmabea nso maa wɔn mmabarima aware. Na Israelfo no som wɔn anyame.
7 Andũ a Isiraeli nĩmekire ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova; makĩriganĩrwo nĩ Jehova Ngai wao, na magĩtungatĩra ngai cia Baali na cia Ashera.
Israelfo no yɛɛ nea ɛyɛ Awurade ani so bɔne. Wɔn werɛ fii Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn, na wɔsom Baalim ahoni ne Asera nnua.
8 Namo marakara ma Jehova magĩakanĩra andũ a Isiraeli o nginya akĩmarekereria moko-inĩ ma Kushani-Rishathaimu mũthamaki wa Aramu-Naharaimu, ũrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatungatĩire mĩaka ĩnana.
Awurade abufuw mu yɛɛ den tiaa Israel nti, ɔde wɔn hyɛɛ Aramhene Kusan-Risataim nsam. Na Israelfo yɛɛ Kusan-Risataim nkoa mfirihyia awotwe.
9 No rĩrĩa maarĩrĩire Jehova, akĩmaarahũrĩra mũndũ wa kũmahonokia wetagwo Othinieli mũrũ wa Kenazu, mũrũ wa ithe na Kalebu ũrĩa mũnini, nake akĩmahonokia.
Nanso Israelfo su frɛɛ Awurade no, oyii ɔbarima bi sɛ ogyefo maa wɔn. Ne din ne Otniel a ɔyɛ Kaleb nua kumaa Kenas babarima.
10 Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩake, agĩtuĩka mũtiirĩrĩri bũrũri wa Isiraeli na agĩthiĩ ita-inĩ. Nake Jehova akĩneana Kushani-Rishathaimu mũthamaki wa Aramu moko-inĩ ma Othinieli, nake akĩmũtooria.
Awurade honhom baa ne so, enti ɔbɛyɛɛ Israel otemmufo. Ɔko tiaa Aramhene Kusan-Risataim na Awurade maa Otniel dii ne so nkonim.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio bũrũri ũgĩkorwo na thayũ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna, nginya rĩrĩa Othinieli mũrũ wa Kenazu aakuire.
Enti asomdwoe baa asase no so mfirihyia aduanan. Na Kenas babarima Otniel wui.
12 O rĩngĩ andũ a Isiraeli magĩĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na tondũ wa gwĩka ũũru ũcio Jehova akĩhe Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi hinya wa gũtooria Isiraeli.
Bio, Israelfo no yɛɛ nea ɛyɛ Awurade ani so bɔne, na ɛno nti, Awurade de tumi hyɛɛ Moabhene Eglon nsa ma odii Israel so.
13 Egiloni akĩgĩĩra andũ a Amoni na Amaleki, makĩũngana hamwe nake magĩtharĩkĩra andũ a Isiraeli, na makĩmatunya Itũũra rĩrĩa Inene rĩa Mĩkĩndũ.
Eglon boaboaa Amonfo ne Amalekfo ano ma wɔbɛkaa ne ho na wɔkɔtow hyɛɛ Israelfo so. Wodii wɔn so, faa kuropɔn Yeriko.
14 Andũ a Isiraeli magĩtuĩka ndungata cia Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi mĩaka ikũmi na ĩnana.
Israelfo no som Moabhene Eglon mfirihyia dunwɔtwe.
15 O rĩngĩ andũ a Isiraeli makĩrĩrĩra Jehova, nake akĩmahe mũndũ wa kũmahonokia wetagwo Ehudu, warĩ wa kĩmotho; mũrũ wa Gera ũrĩa Mũbenjamini. Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩmũtũma na irĩhi rĩa igooti kũrĩ Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi.
Nanso Israelfo no su frɛɛ Awurade bio no, Awurade maa wɔn ogyefo. Ne din ne Ehud, Gera babarima a ɔyɛ abenkumma na ofi Benyamin abusuakuw mu. Israelfo no somaa Ehud sɛ ɔmfa wɔn sonkahiri sika nkɔma Moabhene Eglon.
16 Na rĩrĩ, Ehudu nĩathondekete rũhiũ rwa njora rũũgĩ mĩena yeerĩ, ta rwa buti ĩmwe na nuthu kũraiha rũrĩa oohereire njohero-inĩ yake mwena wa ũrĩo nguo-inĩ thĩinĩ.
Enti Ehud bɔɔ afoa anofanu a ne tenten yɛ nsateaa dunwɔtwe. Ɔde hyɛɛ ne srɛ nifa ho de siee nʼatade mu.
17 Nake agĩtwarĩra Egiloni mũthamaki wa Moabi igooti, na rĩrĩ, Egiloni aarĩ mũndũ mũnoru mũno.
Ɔde sonkahiri sika no brɛɛ Eglon a wayɛ kɛse tobonn no.
18 Thuutha wa Ehudu kũmũnengera igooti, akiumagaria andũ arĩa maarĩkuuĩte, magĩthiĩ.
Ɔde sika no maa no wiee no, Ehud gyaa wɔn a na wɔso sika no kwan ma wɔkɔɔ fie.
19 Nowe mwene aakinya mĩhianano-inĩ ĩrĩa yarĩ hakuhĩ na Giligali, akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ akĩĩra mũthamaki ũcio atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na ndũmĩrĩri yaku ya hitho.” Nake mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kirai!” Nao arĩa othe maamũtungatagĩra makĩehera harĩ we.
Nanso bere a Ehud duu abo ahoni a ɛbɛn Gilgal no, ɔsan nʼakyi baa Eglon nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mewɔ kokoamsɛm bi ka kyerɛ wo.” Enti ɔhene no maa nʼasomfo no nyinaa yɛɛ dinn na ɔmaa wɔn nyinaa fii ɔdan mu hɔ.
20 Nake Ehudu akĩmũkuhĩrĩria rĩrĩa aikarĩte arĩ o wiki nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki ya igũrũ, ĩrĩa aikaraga hĩndĩ ya riũa. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na ndũmĩrĩri yaku kuuma kũrĩ Ngai.” Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki ookagĩra kuuma gĩtĩ-inĩ kĩrĩa aikarĩire,
Afei, Ehud kɔɔ Eglon nkyɛn. Na ɔte abansoro dan bi a emu dwo mu. Ehud ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mewɔ asɛm bi a efi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn ka kyerɛ wo!” Bere a ɔhene Eglon sɔre fii nʼakongua mu ara pɛ,
21 Ehudu agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake kwa ũmotho, akĩruta rũhiũ rwa njora kuuma njohero-inĩ yake mwena wa ũrĩo, agĩtheeca mũthamaki ũcio nda.
Ehud de ne nsa benkum twee afoa a ɔde ahyɛ ne srɛ nifa ho no de wɔɔ ɔhene no yafunu mu.
22 O na mũtĩ waruo ũgĩtoonya na rũhiũ rũkiumanĩra na thuutha. Ehudu ndaacomorire rũhiũ, namo maguta makĩrũhumbĩra.
Afoa no kɔɔ akyiri kosii sɛ ne bona no mpo wuraa ɔhene no srade mu maa ɛso katae. Enti Ehud gyaa afoa no wɔ yafunu no mu maa ne nsono tu gui.
23 Ningĩ Ehudu agĩthiĩ gĩthaku-inĩ, akĩhinga mĩrango ya nyũmba ĩyo ya igũrũ, akĩmũhingĩrĩria kuo.
Afei, Ehud totoo apon no mu foroo agyanan dan no, faa ne asuten no mu guan kɔe.
24 Ehudu aarĩkia gũthiĩ, ndungata cia mũthamaki igĩũka igĩkora mĩrango ya nyũmba ya igũrũ ĩrĩ mĩhinge, ikiuga atĩrĩ, “No nginya akorwo nĩ gwĩteithia areteithia kanyũmba-inĩ ka na thĩinĩ.”
Ehud kɔe akyi no, ɔhene asomfo no baa hɔ behuu sɛ wɔatoto apon a ɛkɔ aban no so no mu. Na wodwen sɛ ɔwɔ agyananbea hɔ,
25 Nacio igĩeterera o nginya igĩconoka, no rĩrĩa aagire kũhingũra mĩrango ya nyũmba, ikĩoya hingũro ikĩhingũra mĩrango. Na hau ikĩona mũnene wao agũĩte thĩ arĩ mũkuũ.
enti wɔtwɛnee. Wɔtwɛn ara na ɔhene no mma no, ɛhaw wɔn ma wɔkɔhwehwɛɛ safe bi. Na wobuee pon no, wohuu sɛ wɔn wura awu da fam.
26 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo cietereire ihingũrĩrwo-rĩ, Ehudu akĩĩyũrĩra. Akĩhĩtũkĩra mĩhianano-inĩ akĩũrĩra Seira.
Bere a asomfo no retwɛn no, Ehud guan faa abo ahoni no so a ɔrekɔ Seira.
27 Aakinya kuo akĩhuha karumbeta kũu bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu, nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩikũrũkania nake moimĩte irĩma-inĩ, amatongoretie.
Oduu Efraim bepɔw asase no so no, Ehud hyɛn torobɛnto kyerɛɛ ɔman no sɛ wɔmfa akode mmra. Enti odii Israelfo kuw bi anim sian bepɔw no.
28 Akĩmaatha atĩrĩ, “Nũmĩrĩrai, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩaneanĩte Moabi thũ yanyu moko-inĩ manyu.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩikũrũka makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, makĩnyiita mariũko ma Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani marĩa maaringagĩrĩra bũrũri wa Moabi, na matiigana gwĩtĩkĩria mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ aringe rũũĩ rũu.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munni mʼakyi. Awurade ama moadi Moabfo a wɔyɛ mo atamfo no so nkonim.” Enti wotu dii nʼakyi. Israelfo no faa asubɔnten Yordan baabi a ɛhɔ nnɔ a wofi Moab twa. Ɛno nti na obiara ntumi mfa hɔ ntwa Asubɔnten no.
29 Na hĩndĩ ĩyo makĩũraga andũ ta 10,000 a Moabi, na othe maarĩ andũ njamba na maarĩ na hinya; na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wahonokire.
Wɔtow hyɛɛ Moabfo no so. Wokunkum wɔn dɔmmarima no bɛyɛ mpem du. Wɔn mu biara antumi anguan.
30 Mũthenya ũcio andũ a Moabi magĩtuĩka ndungata cia andũ a Isiraeli, naguo bũrũri ũgĩkorwo na thayũ mĩaka mĩrongo ĩnana.
Enti Israelfo dii Moabfo so nkonim saa da no, na asomdwoe baa asase no so mfirihyia aduɔwɔtwe.
31 Thuutha wa Ehudu hagĩũka mũndũ wetagwo Shamigari mũrũ wa Anathu, ũrĩa woragire Afilisti magana matandatũ na mũcengi ũrĩa ũtindĩkaga ndegwa. O nake akĩhonokia andũ a Isiraeli.
Ehud akyi no, Anat babarima Samgar gyee Israelfo. Ɔde nantwika abaa kum Filistifo ahansia.
