Yoswa 4

1 Awo Abayisirayiri bonna bwe baamala okusomoka omugga Yoludaani, Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti,

Ɛberɛ a ɔman no nyinaa twaa Yordan wieeɛ no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ,

2 “Yungula abasajja kkumi na babiri mu buli kika ng’olondamu omu omu.”

“Yiyi mmarima dumienu firi ɔmanfoɔ no mu a ɔbaako biara firi abusuakuo 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 sɛ, wɔmfa aboɔ dumienu mfiri Yordan mfimfini nifa so wɔ baabi a na asɔfoɔ no gyina hɔ, na wɔnsoa mfa ntwa mmra mmɛgu baabi 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 dumienu a ɔyii wɔn firii Israelfoɔ no mu no a ɔbaako biara firi abusuakuo 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 sɛ, “Monkɔdi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, adaka no anim mfa nkɔ Yordan mfimfini. Ɔbaako biara mfa ɛboɔ nto ne batiri so sɛdeɛ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo no dodoɔ te,

6 Kano kalyoke kababeerere akabonero gye muli era mu mirembe ejijja, abaana bammwe bwe balibabuuza amayinja gano kye gategeeza,

na ɛnyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ wɔ mo mu. Sɛ daakye bi, mo mma bisa mo sɛ, ‘Saa aboɔ yi ase kyerɛ sɛn’ 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 sɛ, Yordan asutene no twaeɛ wɔ Awurade apam adaka no anim. Ɛberɛ a Awurade apam adaka no twaa Yordan asutene no, asuo no weeɛ. Saa aboɔ yi bɛyɛ nkaedeɛ ama Israelfoɔ 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 sɛdeɛ Yosua kyerɛɛ wɔn no. Wɔfaa aboɔ dumienu firii Asubɔnten Yordan mfimfini a ɛboɔ baako biara gyina hɔ ma abusuakuo baako, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Yosua no. Wɔsoa de kɔɔ baabi a wɔtenaa hɔ anadwo no na wɔsii nkaeɛdum 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 aboɔ dumienu sii nkaeɛdum wɔ Yordan mfimfini wɔ baabi a na asɔfoɔ a wɔso apam Adaka no gyina hɔ. Ɛwɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

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.

Asɔfoɔ a na wɔso adaka no gyinaa asuo no mfimfini hɔ ara kɔsii sɛ Awurade ahyɛdeɛ a ɔnam Mose so de maa Yosua no, wɔyɛɛ ne nyinaa. Saa ɛberɛ no, nnipa no yɛɛ ntɛm twaa asuo no kɔsii ne konkɔn so.

11 Abantu bonna nga bamaze okusomoka, bakabona ne basomosa Essanduuko ya Mukama abantu bonna nga babayeegese amaaso.

Na ɛberɛ a obiara duruu asuo no fa hɔ no, asɔfoɔ no nso de Awurade adaka no tware kɔɔ ɛfa 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 akofoɔ a wɔahyɛ wɔn akodeɛ a wɔfiri Ruben abusuakuo mu, Gad abusuakuo mu ne Manase abusuakuo fa mu akofoɔ no dii Israelfoɔ no anim twaa Yordan sɛdeɛ 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 akofoɔ yi, na wɔn dodoɔ bɛyɛ mpem aduanan a wɔasiesie wɔn ho ama ɔko. Wɔtwa 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 ɛda no, Awurade yɛɛ Yosua kɛseɛ wɔ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa anim na Yosua nna a aka no nyinaa, Israelfoɔ de obuo ne anidie maa no sɛdeɛ wɔde obuo ne anidie maa Mose no.

15 Awo Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti,

Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ,

16 “Lagira bakabona abasitula Essanduuko ey’Obujulirwa baveeyo mu mugga.”

“Hyɛ asɔfoɔ a Awurade apam adaka no so wɔn no sɛ, wɔmfiri subɔnhwa 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 ɛberɛ a asɔfoɔ a wɔso Awurade apam adaka no firii subɔnhwa no mu ara pɛ na Asubɔnten Yordan sane ka sram so tɛntɛntɛn te sɛ kane 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.

Bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda ɛtɔ so edu no nnipa no foro firii Yordan kɔbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Gilgal, Yeriko apueeɛ.

20 Amayinja ekkumi n’abiri agaggibwa mu Yoludaani, Yoswa n’agasimba mu Girugaali.

Gilgal hɔ na Yosua boaa aboɔ dumienu a wɔde firi Asubɔnten Yordan mu baeɛ no ano.

21 N’agamba Abayisirayiri nti, “Abaana bammwe bwe balibabuuza amakulu g’amayinja gano,

Afei, Yosua ka kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, “Daakye bi mo mma bɛbisa sɛ, ‘Saa aboɔ yi kyerɛ sɛn?’

22 mulibaddamu nti, ‘Abayisirayiri bwe baali banaatera okusomoka omugga Yoludaani,

Na mo nso moaka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Ɛha ne beaeɛ a Israelfoɔ twaa Yordan wɔ asase wesee so no.’

23 Mukama n’akaliza omugga ogwo okutuusa nga bamaze okugusomoka ne kifaananako nga Mukama Katonda bwe yakola Ennyanja Emyufu.’

Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, maa nsuo no wee wɔ mo anim na ɔkɔɔ so ma ɛweeɛ ara kɔsii sɛ mo nyinaa twareeɛ, sɛdeɛ ɔyɛeɛ wɔ Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no. Ɔmaa no weeɛ ara kɔsii sɛ yɛn nyinaa twareeɛ.

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 yei sɛdeɛ aman a wɔwɔ ewiase nyinaa bɛhunu Awurade tumi na mo nso moasuro Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, daa nyinaa.”
