1 Awo ne tukyuka ne twambukira mu kkubo eriraga e Basani. Ogi, Kabaka w’e Basani, n’afuluma n’eggye lye lyonna n’ajja okututabaala mu lutalo olwalwanirwa mu Ederei.
Afei, yɛde yɛn ani kyerɛɛ Basan kwan so. Basanhene Og ne nʼasrafo nyinaa fi behyiaa yɛn wɔ Edrei ne yɛn koe.
2 Naye Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Tomutya, kubanga oyo mmugabudde mu mukono gwo ye n’eggye lye lyonna n’ensi ye. Kale, mukole nga bwe wakola Sikoni Kabaka w’Abamoli abaabeeranga mu Kesuboni.”
Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Nsuro no, efisɛ mede ɔno ne nʼakofo ne nʼasase nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa. Sɛnea woyɛɛ Amorihene Sihon a odii ade wɔ Hesbon dii no, yɛ no saa ara.”
3 Bw’atyo Mukama Katonda waffe n’agabula ne Ogi Kabaka w’e Basani mu mukono gwaffe awamu n’eggye lye lyonna. Ne tubatta bonna obutalekaawo muntu n’omu.
Enti Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, san de Basanhene Og ne nʼakofo nyinaa hyɛɛ yɛn nsa. Yɛbɔɔ wɔn gui a anka wɔn mu baako koraa.
4 Era mu kiseera ekyo ne tuwamba ebibuga bye byonna ne tubitwala. Ebibuga enkaaga byonna tekwaliko kibuga na kimu kye tutaabatwalako, ne tutwala amatwale gonna aga Alugobu ag’obwakabaka bwa Ogi mu Basani.
Saa bere no, yɛfaa ne nkuropɔn nyinaa. Nkuropɔn aduosia no mu baako koraa nni hɔ a yɛannye amfi wɔn nsam. Argob mantam a ɛyɛ Og ahemman wɔ Basan nyinaa.
5 Ebibuga ebyo byonna byali bizimbiddwa mu bigo eby’ebisenge ebiwanvu, n’emizigo egy’emitayimbwa, ng’okwo kw’ogatta n’obubuga obw’omu byalo obutaaliko bisenge.
Na wɔato afasu atenten afa saa nkuropɔn yi nyinaa ho de nnade apon atoto ano. Saa bere koro no ara mu, yɛfaa nkuraa a na wɔntoo afasu mfaa ho no bebree.
6 Twabizikiririza ddala byonna nga bwe twakola ebya Sikoni kabaka w’e Kesuboni, nga tuzikiriza buli kibuga n’abasajja bonna abaakirimu n’abakazi n’abaana abato bonna.
Yɛsɛee Basan kuropɔn no pasaa sɛnea yɛsɛee Hesbonhene Sihon no. Yɛsɛee nkurow no ne mu mmarima, mmea ne mmofra nyinaa pasapasa.
7 Naye ente ne tuzeetwalira awamu n’omunyago gwe twaggya mu bibuga bye twawamba.
Nanso nkuropɔn no mu nyɛmmoa ne asade ahorow no de, yɛsoa kɔe.
8 Bwe tutyo mu kiseera ekyo ne tutwala ebitundu by’ensi byonna ebyali ebya bakabaka bombi ab’Abamoli ebyali ku luuyi lw’ebuvanjuba olw’omugga Yoludaani; okuva ku Kiwonvu Alunoni okutuuka ku Lusozi Kerumooni.
Saa bere no, yɛfaa Amorifo ahemfo baanu no nsase a na ɛdeda Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam no nyinaa; nsase a efi Arnon subon mu de kosi bepɔw Hermon so nyinaa.
9 Abasidoni nga Kerumooni baluyita Siriyooni, ate bo Abamoli nga baluyita Seniri.
Sidonfo frɛ no Hermon Sirion na Amorifo frɛ no Senir.
10 Twatwala ebibuga byonna ebyali mu kitundu ekya waggulu ekitereevu ne Gireyaadi yonna ne Basani yonna okutuuka ku Saleka ne Ederei, ng’ebyo byali bibuga eby’omu bwakabaka bwa Ogi mu Basani.
Yɛfaa nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ bepɔw no atifi no nyinaa so a Gilead ne Basan ka ho de kosi nkurow a ɛwɔ Saleka ne Edrei a na ɛyɛ Og ahemman wɔ Basan no nso ka ho bi.
11 Ogi kabaka wa Basani ye yali asigaddewo ku Balefa. Ekitanda kye kyakolebwa mu kyuma, nga kiriko mita nnya obuwanvu, n’obugazi bwa mita emu n’obutundu munaana. Kikyaliyo mu Raba eky’Abamoni.
Abran no de, Basanhene Og nko na na waka. Ne dade mpa tenten boro anammɔn dumiɛnsa na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn asia. Ɛda so wɔ Amonfo kuropɔn Raba mu mprempren ara.
12 Bwe twamala okwetwalira ebitundu by’ensi ebyo bye twawangula mu kaseera ako, ne ngabira Abalewubeeni n’Abagaadi ekitundu ekyo ekiri ku bukiikakkono okuva ku Aloweri n’okugendera ku mukugiro gw’Ekiwonvu kya Alunoni, n’ekitundu ekyamakkati eky’ensi y’ensozi eya Gireyaadi, awamu n’ebibuga byamu.
Nsase a yɛfaa no saa bere no, mede ne fa a ɛda fi Aroer Arnon subon mu ne ɔman a ɛda Gilead bepɔw no fa ne ne nkurow no maa Rubenfo ne Gadfo.
13 Ekitundu kya Gireyaadi ekyasigalawo, n’obwakabaka bwa Ogi obwa Basani omugendera ne Alugabu, ne mbigabira ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase. Ekitundu kya Alugabu kyonna mu Basani, wonna nga wayitibwa nsi ya Balefa.
Afei, mede asase no nkae a ɛyɛ Gilead ne Basan nyinaa a na anka ɛyɛ Og ahemman no maa Manase abusua fa no. Na wɔfrɛ Argob mantam a ɛwɔ Basan no nyinaa se Abran asase.
14 Yayiri, ava mu Manase, yafuna ekitundu kyonna ekya Alugabu, era ye Basani, nga kyerambulula okutuukira ddala ku nsalo ey’Abagesuli n’Abamaakasi; n’akibbulamu erinnya lye, n’okutuusa leero ensi Basani eyitibwa Kavosu Yayiri.
Manase aseni bi a wɔfrɛ no Yair faa Argob mantam no nyinaa de kosii Gesurfo ne Maakatfo hye so. Ɔde ne din too asase no frɛɛ hɔ Hawot-Yair de besi nnɛ.
15 Gireyaadi nagigabira Makiri.
Mede Gilead maa Makir,
16 Abalewubeeni n’Abagaadi ne mbagabira ekitundu ky’ensi ekiva ku Gireyaadi okuserengeta mu Kiwonvu kya Alunoni, nga mu makkati gaakyo ye nsalo, n’okutuukira ddala ku mugga Yaboki ogw’ensalo n’Abamoni.
Rubenfo ne Gadfo no, memaa wɔn asase bi a efi Gilead fa bi, kosi Arnon subon ho, de kosii Asubɔnten Yabok a ɛyɛ Amonfo hye no so.
17 Omugga Yoludaani nga ye nsalo ey’ebugwanjuba mu Alaba, okuviira ddala ku Kinneresi okutuuka ku Nnyanja ya Alaba, ye Nnyanja ey’Omunnyo, wansi w’olugulungujjo lw’olusozi Pisuga ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba.
Atɔe hye no fi Asubɔnten Yordan a ɛda Araba a efi Kineret kosi Araba Po (a ɛne Nkyene Po no) wɔ Pisga bepɔw no ase.
18 Mu kiseera ekyo, mmwe ab’ekika kya Lewubeeni, n’ekya Gaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase, nabalagira nga mbagamba nti, “Mukama Katonda wammwe abawadde ekitundu ky’ensi kino okubeera obutaka bwammwe. Naye basajja bammwe bonna ab’amaanyi abazira nga beesibye ebyokulwanyisa, be balisooka baganda bammwe abaana ba Isirayiri okusomoka Yoludaani.
Na mehyɛɛ mo saa bere no se, “Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de asase yi ama mo sɛ momfa. Nanso mo mmarima akofo nyinaa nhyɛ akode nni mo nuanom Israelfo no anim ntwa Yordan.
19 Kyokka, bakazi bammwe, n’abaana bammwe balisigala mu bibuga bye nabawa awamu n’ente zammwe ze mulina, ze mmanyi nga bwe ziri ennyingi,
Mo yerenom, mo mma ne mo nyɛmmoa bebrebe a minim sɛ mowɔ no de, mubetumi agyaw wɔ nkurow a mede ama mo no so.
20 okutuusa nga baganda bammwe bamaze okwetwalira ensi eri emitala w’omugga Yoludaani, Mukama Katonda wammwe gy’abawa; Mukama alyoke awe baganda bammwe ekiwummulo nga nammwe bwe yakibawa. Oluvannyuma mulikomawo mu butaka bwammwe bwe nabagabira.”
Sɛ Awurade bɔ Israelfo a wɔaka no ho ban na wɔtena asase a Awurade de rema wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya no so a, ansa na mo mu biara betumi asan akɔ asase a mede ama mo no so.”
21 Mu kiseera ekyo ne ndagira Yoswa, ne mmugamba nti, “Ebyo byonna Mukama Katonda wammwe byakoze bakabaka abo ababiri obyerabiddeko n’amaaso go gennyini. Bw’atyo Mukama bw’alikola obwakabaka bwonna obuli eyo gye mugenda.
Saa bere no, meka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Wode wʼani ahu nea Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, ayɛ saa ahemfo baanu yi nyinaa. Saa ara na ɔbɛyɛ ahemman a ɛwɔ faako a morekɔ no nso.
22 Temubatyanga; kubanga Mukama Katonda wammwe yennyini y’anaabalwaniriranga.”
Nsuro wɔn, na Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, bɛko ama wo.”
23 Mu kiseera ekyo ne neegayirira Mukama nga njogera nti,
Saa bere no, mesrɛɛ Awurade se,
24 “Ayi Mukama Katonda, otandise okundaga nze omuddu wo, omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi n’obukulu bwo obw’ekitiibwa. Kubanga katonda ki ali mu ggulu oba ali ku nsi asobola okukola ebyekyewuunyo bino byonna by’okola, n’emirimu egy’amaanyi bwe gityo gy’okola?
“Otumfo Awurade, woafi ase reda wo kɛseyɛ ne wo nsa a ɛyɛ den no adi akyerɛ wʼakoa. Na onyame bɛn na ɔwɔ ɔsoro anaa asase so a obetumi ayɛ mmaninne te sɛ wo?
25 Nkusaba, nsomoke omugga Yoludaani, ŋŋende ndabe ku nsi ennungi bw’etyo eri emitala waagwo, ensi eyo ey’ensozi ezirabika obulungi, awamu ne Lebanooni.”
Mesrɛ wo, ma mintwa Yordan nkɔhwɛ asase pa a ɛda hɔ no, Lebanon mmepɔw asase fɛfɛ no.”
26 Naye Mukama n’ansunguwalira nnyo ku lwammwe, bye namusaba n’atabiwuliriza. Mukama Katonda n’aŋŋamba nti, “Ebyo by’oyogedde bikumale; toddayo kwogera gye ndi nate ku nsonga eyo.
Nanso esiane mo nti, Awurade bo fuw me. Na wantie me. Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Nka saa asɛm yi ho hwee bio nkyerɛ me.
27 Yambuka waggulu ku ntikko y’olusozi Pisuga, ositule amaaso go otunule ebugwanjuba, ne ku bukiikakkono, n’ebuvanjuba ne ku bukiikaddyo. Weerabireko ku nsi eyo n’amaaso go gennyini, kubanga togenda kusomoka mugga guno Yoludaani.
Foro kɔ Pisga na hwɛ atɔe, atifi, anafo ne apuei. Esiane sɛ, worentwa Yordan no nti, wʼankasa fa wʼani hwɛ asase no.
28 Naye obuyinza bukwase Yoswa, omukuutire era omugumye afune amaanyi, kubanga y’agenda okukulembera abantu bano nga basomoka, era ye alibasobozesa okulya ensi eyo gy’ojja okulaba, okubeera obutaka bwabwe.”
Nanso soma Yosua, hyɛ no nkuran na hyɛ no den, efisɛ ɔno na obedi saa nnipa yi anim atwa na wama wɔadi asase a wʼani tua yi.”
29 Bwe tutyo ne tubeera awo mu kiwonvu okumpi ne Besu Peoli.
Ɛno nti, yɛtenaa subon a ɛbɛn Bet-Peor no mu.
