1 Ningĩ akĩnyonia Joshua, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, arũgamĩte mbere ya mũraika wa Jehova, nake Shaitani arũgamĩte mwena wake wa ũrĩo nĩguo amũcuuke.
Afei ɔkyerɛɛ me ɔsɔfopanyin Yosua a ogyina Awurade bɔfo anim, na Satan gyina ne nifa so rebɛbɔ no sobo.
2 Nake Jehova akĩĩra Shaitani atĩrĩ, “Jehova arogũkũũma, wee Shaitani! Jehova ũrĩa ũthuurĩte Jerusalemu arogũkũũma wee! Githĩ mũndũ ũyũ ti gĩcinga gĩtharĩtwo kuuma mwaki-inĩ?”
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Satan se, “Awurade nka wʼanim, Satan! Awurade a wafa Yerusalem no, nka wʼanim. Saa ɔbarima yi nyɛ gyentia a wɔatu afi ogya mu ana?”
3 Na rĩrĩ, Joshua eehumbĩte nguo irĩ gĩko hĩndĩ ĩyo aarũgamĩte mbere ya mũraika.
Na Yosua hyɛ ntadefi, bere a ogyina ɔbɔfo no anim.
4 Mũraika ũcio akĩĩra arĩa maarũngiĩ mbere yake atĩrĩ, “Mũrutei nguo icio ciake irĩ na gĩko.” Agĩcooka akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩnjeheretie mehia maku, na nĩngũkũhumba nguo cia goro.”
Ɔbɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wogyinagyina nʼanim no se, “Munnyi ne ho ntadefi no.” Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Hwɛ, mayi wo bɔne afi wo so, na mede ntade a ɛyɛ fɛ bɛhyɛ wo.”
5 Ngĩcooka ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Muohei kĩremba gĩtheru mũtwe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmuoha kĩremba gĩtheru mũtwe, na makĩmũhumba nguo, mũraika wa Jehova arũgamĩte o hau.
Afei mekae se, “Momfa abotiri a ani tew mmɔ ne ti.” Enti wɔde abotiri a ani tew bɔɔ no, na wɔhyɛɛ no atade, bere a Awurade bɔfo no gyina hɔ.
6 Mũraika wa Jehova agĩatha Joshua, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
Na Awurade bɔfo de saa akwankyerɛ yi maa Yosua:
7 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ, ‘Ũngĩrũmĩrĩra mĩthiĩre yakwa na ũmenyagĩrĩre maũndũ marĩa nyendaga mekwo, nĩũgaathaga nyũmba yakwa, o na ũtuĩke mũrũgamĩrĩri wa nja ciayo, na ngwĩtĩkĩrie ũtuĩke ũmwe wa andũ aya marũngiĩ haha.
“Sɛɛ na Asafo Awurade se: ‘Sɛ wobɛyɛ osetie ama me na woayɛ mʼapɛde a, ɛno de, wubedi me fi so na woahwɛ mʼabangua so, na mɛma wo baabi atena wɔ nnipa a wogyinagyina ha yi mu.
8 “‘Ta thikĩrĩria, wee Joshua, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, hamwe na athiritũ aku aya maikarĩte thĩ mbere yaku, o acio kĩmenyithia kĩa maũndũ marĩa magooka: Nĩngarehe ndungata yakwa, o we Rũhonge.’
“‘Tie, Ɔsɔfopanyin Yosua, wo ne wo nkurɔfo a wɔtete wʼanim yi, moyɛ nnipa a wogyina hɔ ma nneɛma a ɛrebesisi: Mede me somfo, Dubaa no bɛba.
9 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ, ‘Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩnjigĩte ihiga mbere ya Joshua! Ihiga rĩu rĩrĩ na maitho mũgwanja, na nĩngakurura maandĩko igũrũ warĩo, na njeherie mehia ma bũrũri ũyũ na mũthenya ũmwe.
Hwɛ, ɔbo a mede asi Yosua anim! Ani ason na etuatua saa ɔbo baako no ho, na mikurukyerɛw biribi wɔ so,’ sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni, ‘na mede da koro pɛ bɛpepa asase yi so bɔne.
10 “‘Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, o mũndũ wanyu nĩageeta mũndũ wa itũũra rĩake maikare rungu rwa mũtĩ wake wa mũthabibũ na wa mũkũyũ,’” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
“‘Saa da no mo mu biara bɛto nsa afrɛ ne yɔnko ne no akɔtena ne ngodua ne borɔdɔma dua ase,’ sɛnea Asafo Awurade se ni.”
