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 ɔsɔfopanin Yosua a ɔgyina Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ anim, na Satan gyina ne nifa so rebɛbɔ no soboɔ.
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 sɛ, “Awurade nka wʼanim, Satan! Awurade a Yerusalem yɛ ne dea no nka wʼanim. Saa ɔbarima yi nyɛ gyentia a wɔatu afiri ogya mu anaa?”
3 Na rĩrĩ, Joshua eehumbĩte nguo irĩ gĩko hĩndĩ ĩyo aarũgamĩte mbere ya mũraika.
Na Yosua hyɛ ntadeɛ fi ɛberɛ a ɔgyina ɔbɔfoɔ 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.”
Ɔbɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a wɔgyinagyina nʼanim no sɛ, “Monnyi ne ho ntadeɛ fi no.” Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Hwɛ, mayi wo bɔne afiri wo so, na mede ntadeɛ 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, mekaa sɛ, “Momfa abotire a ani teɛ mmɔ ne ti.” Enti, wɔde abotire a ani teɛ bɔɔ no, na wɔhyɛɛ no atadeɛ, ɛberɛ a Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ no gyina hɔ.
6 Mũraika wa Jehova agĩatha Joshua, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
Na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ 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.
“Yei ne deɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ: ‘Sɛ wobɛyɛ ɔsetie ama me na woayɛ mʼapɛdeɛ a, ɛnneɛ wobɛdi me fie so na woahwɛ mʼabannwa so, na mɛma wo baabi atena wɔ nnipa a wɔgyinagyina 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, Ao ɔsɔfopanin Yosua, wo ne wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔtete wʼanim yi, moyɛ nnipa a wɔgyina hɔ ma nneɛma a ɛrebɛsisi: Mede me ɔsomfoɔ, 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, aboɔdenboɔ a mede asi Yosua anim! Ani nson na ɛtuatua saa ɛboɔ baako no ho, na mekrukyire atwerɛ bi wɔ so,’ sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie, ‘na mede ɛda 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 ɛda no mo mu biara bɛto nsa afrɛ ne yɔnko ne no akɔtena ne ngo dua ne borɔdɔma dua ase,’ sɛdeɛ Asafo Awurade seɛ nie.”
