Yoswa 6
1 Ekibuga Yeriko kyali kigaddwawo ng’enzigi zonna zisibiddwa be gulugulu olw’okutya Abayisirayiri era nga tewali afuluma wadde ayingira.
Wɔtotoo Yeriko apono mu pampee, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔsuro Israelfoɔ no. Wɔamma obiara ɛkwan ma wankɔ mu anaa wamfiri adi.
2 Mukama n’agamba Yoswa nti, “Laba, Yeriko ne kabaka waakyo n’abasajja baamu bakirimaanyi mbawaddeyo mu mukono gwammwe.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Mede Yeriko, ɛhɔ ɔhene ne ɛhɔ akofoɔ nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa.
3 Basajja bammwe abalwanyi bonna bajja ku kyetooloolanga omulundi gumu buli lunaku okumala ennaku mukaaga.
Ma wʼasraadɔm no nyinaa mmɔ nsra ntwa kuropɔn no ho nhyia pɛnkorɔ ɛda biara nna nsia.
4 Bakabona musanvu bajja kwambaliranga amakondeere agaakolebwa mu mayembe g’endiga ennume, nga bakulembedde Essanduuko. Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu balyetooloola ekibuga emirundi musanvu nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere gaabwe.
Asɔfoɔ baason a obiara kura nnwennini abɛn bɛdi Adaka no anim. Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ nsra twa kuropɔn no ho mprɛnson, a asɔfoɔ no rehyɛn nnwennini mmɛn no.
5 Olunaawulira amakondeere nga gavuga, Abayisirayiri bonna baleekaanire waggulu era amangwago ekisenge kya bbugwe ekyetoolodde kineegonnomola wansi; amangwago Abayisirayiri bonna beefubitike ekibuga.”
Sɛ mote sɛ asɔfoɔ no hyɛn mmɛn no dendeenden ma ɛkyɛre a, nnipa no nyinaa mmɔ nnye so. Afei kuropɔn no afasuo nyinaa bɛdwiri agu fam, na nnipa no bɛtumi ato ahyɛ kuropɔn no so.”
6 Bw’atyo Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni n’ayita bakabona n’abagamba nti, “Musitule Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ne bakabona musanvu bakulembere Essanduuko ya Mukama nga bambalidde amakondeere musanvu agaakolebwa mu mayembe g’endiga ennume.”
Na Yosua frɛɛ asɔfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Momfa Awurade Apam Adaka no na mo mu baason nni animu a obiara kura nnwennini abɛn.”
7 N’alagira Abayisirayiri nti, “Mweyongere mu maaso, mwetooloole ekibuga abalina ebyokulwanyisa nga bakulembeddemu Essanduuko ya Mukama.”
Enti, ɔhyɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Mommɔ nsra mfa kuropɔn no ho na wɔn a wɔkurakura akodeɛ no bɛdi Awurade adaka no anim.”
8 Nga Yoswa bwe yabakalaatira, bwe batyo bakabona omusanvu ne bakulemberamu nga bwe bafuuwa amakondeere gaabwe omusanvu ezaakolebwa mu mayembe g’endiga eza sseddume, eno nga Essanduuko ey’Endagaano ya Mukama bw’ebavaako emabega.
Yosua kasa kyerɛɛ nnipa no wieeɛ no, asɔfoɔ baason a wɔkura nnwennini mmɛn no hyɛɛ aseɛ bɔɔ nsra wɔ Awurade anim a wɔrehyɛn mmɛn no. Na asɔfoɔ a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no dii wɔn akyi.
9 Abasajja abambalidde ebyokulwanyisa ne bakulemberamu bakabona ab’amakondeere, olwo eggye ery’emabega ne ligoberera Essanduuko ng’eno amakondeere bwe ganyaanyaagira.
Wɔn a wɔkurakura akodeɛ no bi bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfoɔ no a wɔrehyɛn mmɛn no anim, na ebi nso bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfoɔ a wɔso Adaka no akyi wɔ ɛberɛ a asɔfoɔ no gu so rehyɛn mmɛn no.
10 Awo Yoswa n’alagira Abayisirayiri nti, “Temuleekaana wadde okwogerera waggulu, mutambule kasirise okutuusa ku lunaku olwo lwe ndibalagira.”
Yosua hyɛɛ sɛ, “Monnteam na monnkasa mpo. Mommma asɛm biara mfiri mo anom, kɔsi sɛ mɛka akyerɛ mo sɛ monteam na moateam.”
11 Bw’etyo Essanduuko ya Mukama ne yeetooloozebwa ekibuga omulundi gumu olunaku olwo, ne beddirayo mu lusiisira lwabwe ne beebaka.
Enti, ɛda no, wɔsoaa Awurade Adaka no twaa kuropɔn no ho prɛko. Na afei obiara sane kɔɔ atenaeɛ hɔ kɔhomee anadwo no.
12 Yoswa n’akeera nnyo mu makya, ne bakabona ne basitula Essanduuko ya Mukama,
Adeɛ kyeeɛ no, Yosua sɔree anɔpahema, na asɔfoɔ no soaa Awurade Adaka no bio.
13 ne bakabona omusanvu abafuuyi b’amakondeere ne batambula, abalwanyi nga babakulembedde, eggye ery’emabega lyo nga ligoberera Essanduuko ya Mukama, eno amakondeere nga bwe gafuuyibwa.
Asɔfoɔ baason a wɔkurakura nnwennini mmɛn no bɔɔ nsra wɔ Awurade Adaka no anim wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔrehyɛn wɔn mmɛn. Wɔn a wɔkurakura akodeɛ no bi nso bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfoɔ a wɔkurakura mmɛn no anim ne Awurade Adaka no akyi. Saa ɛberɛ no nyinaa na asɔfoɔ no rehyɛne wɔn mmɛn no.
14 Ku lunaku olwokubiri ne beetooloola ekibuga omulundi gumu, ne baddayo mu lusiisira. Ne bakola bwe batyo okumala ennaku mukaaga.
Ɛda a ɛtɔ so mmienu no, wɔbɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho prɛko, na wɔsane kɔɔ atenaeɛ hɔ. Wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ saa ara nnansia.
15 Ku lunaku olw’omusanvu baakeera mu matulutulu ne beetooloola ekibuga nga bulijjo, kyokka olwo lwe lwali olunaku lwokka lwe baakyetooloola emirundi omusanvu.
Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, Israelfoɔ no sɔree anɔpahema, bɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho hyiaeɛ, sɛdeɛ wɔayɛ dada no. Nanso, saa ɛberɛ yi deɛ, wɔbɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho mprɛnson.
16 Ku mulundi ogw’omusanvu nga bakabona bamaze okufuuwa amakondeere, Yoswa n’alagira abantu nti, “Muleekaane kubanga Mukama abawadde ekibuga.
Ne mprɛnson so no, ɛberɛ a asɔfoɔ no hyɛnee wɔn mmɛn dendeenden ma ɛkyɛreeɛ no, Yosua hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no sɛ, “Monteateam! Na Awurade de kuropɔn no ama mo!
17 Era ekibuga n’ebintu byamu byonna bya kuweebwayo eri Mukama bizikirizibwe okuggyako Lakabu yekka malaaya, oyo n’abantu be baanaabeera nabo mu nju ye. Kubanga yakweka abakessi baffe be twasindikayo.
Kuropɔn no ne emu nneɛma no, ɛsɛ sɛ mosɛe ne nyinaa sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Odwamanfoɔ Rahab ne nʼafifoɔ nko na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔgyaa wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbɔɔ akwansrafoɔ no ho ban.
18 Naye mmwe mwekuume ebyo ebiweereddwayo eri Mukama okuzikirizibwa muleme kubitwala kubanga kiyinza okuleetera Abayisirayiri bonna ekikolimo n’okuzikirira.
Mommfa nneɛma a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɛe no no mu biara, sɛ mofa a, mo ankasa na wɔbɛsɛe mo korakora na mode ɔhaw bɛbrɛ Israel nyinaa.
19 Kyokka ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu byonna eby’ekikomo n’eby’ekyuma bitukuvu eri Mukama era byakutereka mu ggwanika lya Mukama.”
Biribiara a wɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ anaa dadeɛ ayɛ no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ba nʼadekoradan mu.”
20 Awo Abayisirayiri ne baleekaana nnyo, amakondeere bwe gaavuga. Amangu ennyo ng’amakondeere gakavuga Abayisirayiri ne boogera n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka, era ekisenge kya bbugwe ekyebunguludde ekibuga Yeriko ne kyegonnomola wansi. Awo ne bayingira ne bakiwamba.
Ɛberɛ a nnipa no tee mmɛn no nnyegyeeɛ no, wɔteateaam dendeenden sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi. Prɛko pɛ Yeriko afasuo no dwiri guu fam maa Israelfoɔ no firi afanan nyinaa to hyɛɛ kuropɔn no so na wɔfaeɛ.
21 Ne bazikiriza byonna ebyakirimu, abasajja n’abakazi, n’abaana abato, n’ente, n’endiga, n’endogoyi ne byonna ne babizikiriza n’ekitala.
Wɔsɛee biribiara a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mu pasaa, mmarima ne mmaa, mmɔfra ne mpanin, anantwie, nnwan, mfunumu ne biribiara.
22 Awo Yoswa n’agamba abasajja ababiri abaatumibwa okuketta ensi eri nti, “Mugende muleete malaaya oli n’abantu be bonna baali nabo nga bwe mwamusuubiza.”
Afei, Yosua ka kyerɛɛ akwansrafoɔ baanu no sɛ, “Monni mo bɔhyɛ no so. Monkɔ odwamanfoɔ no fie na monkɔfa no ne nʼabusuafoɔ nyinaa mmra.”
23 Bwe batyo abavubuka abo abakessi ne bagenda ne bakola nga bwe baalagirwa, ne baleeta Lakabu malaaya, ne kitaawe, ne nnyina, ne bannyina n’abantu be bonna be yali nabo, ne babateeka ebweru w’olusiisira lw’Abayisirayiri.
Mmeranteɛ no kɔfaa Rahab, nʼagya, ne maame, ne nuammarima ne abusuafoɔ a na wɔwɔ ne nkyɛn no nyinaa baeɛ. Wɔde abusuafoɔ no nyinaa kɔsiee baabi a ɔhaw biara nni hɔ na ɛbɛn Israelfoɔ atenaeɛ.
24 Awo ne balyoka bookya ekibuga ne bazikiriza byonna ebyakirimu okuggyako ffeeza, zaabu n’ebintu eby’ekikomo n’eby’ekyuma bye baggyamu ne babitereka mu ggwanika ly’omu nnyumba ya Mukama.
Afei, Israelfoɔ no hyee kuropɔn no ne emu nneɛma nyinaa. Nneɛma a wɔanhye no yɛ deɛ wɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere mfrafraeɛ anaa dadeɛ ayɛ. Wɔde ne nyinaa kɔsiee Awurade fie adekoradan mu.
25 Yoswa n’alekawo Lakabu malaaya n’ab’ennyumba ye era Lakabu n’abeera mu Isirayiri n’okutuusa kaakano kubanga yakweka abakessi Yoswa be yatuma okuketta ekibuga Yeriko.
Enti, Yosua amfa ne nsa anka odwamanfoɔ Rahab ne nʼabusuafoɔ a na wɔka ne ho wɔ efie no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔde akwansrafoɔ a Yosua somaa wɔn Yeriko no sieeɛ. Enti, ɔte Israelfoɔ mu bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
26 Yoswa n’alayira nti, “Akolimirwe mu maaso ga Mukama omuntu yenna alyaŋŋanga nate okuzimba ekibuga kino Yeriko. Bw’alyaŋŋanga okuzimba omusingi gwakyo alifiirwa omwana we omubereberye. Ate era bw’alyaŋŋanga okuwangamu enzigi z’emiryango gyakyo, alifiirwa omwana we asembayo owoobulenzi.”
Saa ɛberɛ no, Yosua kaa saa nnome nsɛm yi: “Awurade nnome mmra obiara a ɔyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛkyekyere Yeriko kuropɔn no bio. “Ɔde nʼabakan na ɛbɛhyɛ aseɛ, na ɔde nʼakumaa na ɛbɛsisi ano apono.”
27 Bw’atyo Mukama n’abeera ne Yoswa, era ettutumu lya Yoswa ne libuna ensi eyo yonna.
Na Awurade kaa Yosua ho na ne din hyetaa asase no so nyinaa.
