< Yoswa 4 >

1 Awo Abayisirayiri bonna bwe baamala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti,
Bere a ɔman no nyinaa twaa Yordan wiei no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se,
2 “Yungula abasajja kkumi na babiri mu buli kika ng’olondamu omu omu.”
“Yiyi mmarima dumien fi ɔmanfo no mu a ɔbaako biara fi abusuakuw no bi mu,
3 Obakuutire nti, “Mulonde amayinja kkumi n’abiri nga mugaggya wakati mu mugga Yoludaani awo wennyini bakabona we balinnye ebigere byabwe, mugende nago okutuukira ddala we munaasula ekiro kino.”
na ka kyerɛ wɔn se, wɔmfa abo dumien mfi Yordan mfimfini nifa so wɔ faako a na asɔfo no gyina hɔ, na wɔnsoa mfa ntwa mmra mmegu faako a mobɛtena anadwo yi.”
4 Yoswa n’ayita abasajja kkumi na babiri be yalonda mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, n’abagamba nti,
Ɛnna Yosua frɛɛ mmarima dumien a oyii wɔn fii Israelfo no mu no a ɔbaako biara fi abusuakuw bi mu no,
5 “Mukulembere mu maaso g’Essanduuko ya Mukama Katonda wammwe era buli omu ku mmwe alonde ejjinja limu ng’aliggya mu mugga guno Yoludaani alyetikke ku kibegabega kye.
na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munkodi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, adaka no anim mfa nkɔ Yordan mfimfini. Ɔbaako biara mfa ɔbo nto ne bati so sɛnea Israelfo mmusuakuw no dodow te,
6 Kano kalyoke kababeerere akabonero gye muli era mu mirembe ejijja, abaana bammwe bwe balibabuuza amayinja gano kye gategeeza,
na ɛnyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne wɔ mo mu. Sɛ daakye bi, mo mma bisa mo se, ‘Saa abo yi ase kyerɛ dɛn’ a,
7 mulibagamba nti essanduuko y’Endagaano ya Mukama bwe yali ng’esomosebwa omugga Yoludaani, amazzi gaagwo ne geetuuma ng’ogusenge okutuusa Essanduuko bwe yamala okuyisibwawo. Kale amayinja gano, Abayisirayiri galibabeerera ekijjukizo emirembe gyonna.”
monka nkyerɛ wɔn se, Yordan gyaee sen, gyinae wɔ Awurade apam adaka no anim, bere a Awurade apam adaka no retwa Yordan asubɔnten no. Saa abo yi bɛyɛ nkae ade ama Israelfo daa nyinaa.”
8 Abasajja Abayisirayiri ne bakola nga Yoswa bwe yabakuutira, ne balonda amayinja kkumi n’abiri nga bagaggya mu mugga Yoludaani ng’omuwendo gw’ebika by’Abayisirayiri bwe gwali. Ne bagasitula okugatuusiza ddala we baali bagenda okusula nga Mukama bwe yagamba Yoswa.
Enti, mmarima no yɛɛ sɛnea Yosua kyerɛɛ wɔn no. Wɔfaa abo dumien fii Asubɔnten Yordan mfimfini a ɔbo baako biara gyina hɔ ma abusuakuw baako, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Yosua no. Wɔsoa de kɔɔ faako a wɔtenaa hɔ anadwo no na wosii nkaedum wɔ hɔ.
9 Yoswa n’asimba amayinja kkumi n’abiri mu kifo bakabona abaasitula Essanduuko ey’Endagaano we baalinnya era we gali ne kaakano.
Yosua nso de abo dumien sii nkaedum wɔ Yordan mfimfini wɔ faako a na asɔfo a wɔso apam Adaka no gyinae no. Ɛwɔ hɔ de besi nnɛ.
10 Bakabona abaasitula Essanduuko ne bayimirira wakati mu Yoludaani okutuusa nga Abayisirayiri bamaze okutuukiriza byonna Mukama bye yabalagira ng’ayita mu Musa ne Yoswa. Abantu bonna ne basomoka bunnambiro.
Asɔfo a na wɔso adaka no gyinaa asu no mfimfini hɔ ara kosii sɛ wɔyɛɛ Awurade ahyɛde a ɔnam Mose so de maa Yosua no nyinaa. Saa bere no, nnipa no yɛɛ ntɛm twaa asu no koduu ne konkɔn so.
11 Abantu bonna nga bamaze okusomoka, bakabona ne basomosa Essanduuko ya Mukama abantu bonna nga babayeegese amaaso.
Na bere a obiara duu asu no fa hɔ no, asɔfo no nso de Awurade adaka no twa kɔɔ hɔ bi.
12 Awo abasajja ab’ekika kya Lewubeeni, n’ekya Gaadi, n’ekitundu ky’ekika kya Manase ne basomoka ne bayita ku Bayisirayiri bonna nga babagalidde ebyokulwanyisa nga Musa bwe yabagamba,
Na akofo a wɔahyɛ wɔn akode a wofi Ruben abusuakuw mu, Gad abusuakuw mu ne Manase abusuakuw fa mu akofo no dii Israelfo no anim twaa Yordan sɛnea Mose kyerɛɛ wɔn no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
13 bonna abaali bambalidde ebyokulwanyisa baali emitwalo ng’ena mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda, olwo ne boolekera eyali olutalo mu lusenyi lw’e Yeriko.
Saa akofo yi, na wɔn dodow bɛyɛ mpem aduanan a wɔasiesie wɔn ho ama ɔko. Wotwa kɔɔ Yeriko asase so wɔ Awurade anim.
14 Ku lunaku olwo Mukama n’agulumiza nnyo Yoswa mu maaso g’Abayisirayiri bonna, ne bamussaamu ekitiibwa ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe nga bwe baakolanga Musa.
Saa da no, Awurade yɛɛ Yosua kɛse wɔ Israelfo no nyinaa anim; na Yosua nna a aka no nyinaa, Israelfo de obu ne nidi maa no sɛnea wɔde obu ne nidi maa Mose no.
15 Awo Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se,
16 “Lagira bakabona abasitula Essanduuko ey’Obujulirwa baveeyo mu mugga.”
“Hyɛ asɔfo a Awurade apam adaka no so wɔn no sɛ, womfi nsubon no mu hɔ mmra.”
17 Bw’atyo Yoswa n’alagira bakabona nti, “Muveeyo mu mugga Yoludaani.”
Enti, Yosua hyɛɛ wɔn.
18 Bakabona abasitula Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ya Mukama olwalinnya ebigere byabwe ku lukalu, amazzi gonna aga Yoludaani ne gakomawo mu kkubo lyago n’okwanjaala ne ganjaala nga bulijjo.
Na bere a asɔfo a wɔso Awurade apam adaka no fii nsubon no mu ara pɛ na Asubɔnten Yordan san ka sram so tɛnn te sɛ kan no.
19 Bwe batyo Abayisirayiri ne basitula okuva ku Yoludaani ku lunaku olw’ekkumi mu mwezi ogw’olubereberye ne batuuka e Girugaali ne basiisira awo kumpi n’ensalo ey’ebuvanjuba eya Yeriko.
Ɔsram a edi kan no da ɛto so du no nnipa no foro fii Yordan kɔbɔɔ atenae wɔ Gilgal, Yeriko apuei fam hye so.
20 Amayinja ekkumi n’abiri agaggibwa mu Yoludaani, Yoswa n’agasimba mu Girugaali.
Gilgal hɔ na Yosua boaa abo dumien a wɔde fi Asubɔnten Yordan mu bae no ano.
21 N’agamba Abayisirayiri nti, “Abaana bammwe bwe balibabuuza amakulu g’amayinja gano,
Afei, Yosua ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se, “Daakye bi mo mma bebisa se, ‘Saa abo yi kyerɛ dɛn?’
22 mulibaddamu nti, ‘Abayisirayiri bwe baali banaatera okusomoka omugga Yoludaani,
Na mo nso moaka akyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Ɛha ne beae a Israelfo twaa Yordan wɔ asase wosee so no.’
23 Mukama n’akaliza omugga ogwo okutuusa nga bamaze okugusomoka ne kifaananako nga Mukama Katonda bwe yakola Ennyanja Emyufu.’
Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, maa asu no yowee wɔ mo anim, na ɔkɔɔ so ma ɛyowee ara kosii sɛ mo nyinaa twae, sɛnea ɔyɛɛ Po Kɔkɔɔ no. Ɔmaa no yowee ara kosii sɛ yɛn nyinaa twae.
24 Ebyo byabaawo abantu b’omu nsi yonna bategeere ng’omukono gwa Mukama gwa maanyi era nammwe mulyoke mutye Mukama Katonda wammwe emirembe gyonna.”
Ɔyɛɛ eyi sɛnea aman a wɔwɔ wiase nyinaa behu Awurade tumi na mo nso moasuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, daa nyinaa.”
