1 Awo Malayika wa Mukama n’ava e Bokimu n’ajja e Girugaali, n’agamba nti, “Nabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri ne mbaleeta mu nsi gye nalayira okuwa bajjajjammwe; ne ŋŋamba nti, ‘Endagaano yange gye nalagaana nammwe sirigimenya emirembe gyonna;
Na Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ firi Gilgal kɔɔ Bokim de nkra kɔmaa Israelfoɔ sɛ, “Meyii mo firii Misraim, de mo baa asase a mekaa ho ntam sɛ mede bɛma mo agyanom no so. Mekaa sɛ, Meremmu mʼapam a me ne mo ayɛ no so.
2 nammwe temukolanga ndagaano n’abantu ab’omu nsi eyo: museseggulanga ebyoto byabwe.’ Naye mmwe temugondedde kiragiro kyange: Kiki ekibakozesezza bwe mutyo?
Mo fam deɛ ne sɛ, mo ne nnipa a wɔte asase yi so no nnyɛ apam biara na mmom mobɛsɛe wɔn afɔrebukyia nyinaa. Na adɛn enti na moanni me mmaransɛm so?
3 Kaakano kyenva ŋŋamba nti, ‘Siibafubutule mu maaso gammwe, naye banaaba balabe bammwe ne bakatonda baabwe banaaba nkonge gye muli.’”
Deɛ moayɛ yi enti, merempam nnipa a wɔtete mo asase so no. Wɔbɛyɛ mo nkyɛnmu nkasɛɛ na wɔn anyame nso ayɛ mfidie ama mo.”
4 Malayika wa Mukama bwe yamala okugamba Abayisirayiri bonna ebigambo bino ne balyoka batema emiranga.
Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ kasa wieeɛ no Israelfoɔ no suu denden.
5 Ekifo ekyo ne bakituuma erinnya Bokimu; ne baweera eyo Ssaddaaka eri Mukama.
Enti wɔtoo beaeɛ hɔ edin “Agyaadwotwa”. Na wɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ hɔ maa Awurade.
6 Awo Yoswa bwe yamala okulagira Abayisirayiri baabuke, buli omu ku bo n’agenda okugabana ekitundu kye yasuubizibwa.
Yosua gyaa nkurɔfoɔ no kwan akyi no, mmusuakuo no mu biara kɔfaa nʼagyapadeɛ a wɔde maa no sɛ ne kyɛfa no.
7 Abayisirayiri ne baweerezanga Mukama mu kiseera kyonna ekya Yoswa era ne mu kiseera kyonna eky’abakulembeze abaawangaala okusinga Yoswa era abaalaba ebikolwa eby’amaanyi Mukama bye yakolera Abayisirayiri.
Na Israelfoɔ no somm Awurade wɔ Yosua ne mpanimfoɔ a wɔanyini sene Yosua a wɔhunuu nneɛma akɛseɛ a Awurade yɛ maa Israel, Yosua nkwa nna nyinaa mu no.
8 Awo omuweereza wa Mukama Yoswa mutabani wa Nuuni n’afa. We yafiira ng’aweza emyaka kikumi mu kkumi.
Afei, Nun babarima Yosua, Awurade ɔsomfoɔ wuiɛ a na wadi mfirinhyia ɔha ne edu.
9 Ne bamuziika e Timunasukeresi mu kitundu kye yagabana mu nsi ya Efulayimu ey’ensozi mu bukiika obwa kkono obw’olusozi Gaasi.
Wɔsiee no wɔ nʼawunya asase a na ɛwɔ Timnat-Heres, Efraim bepɔ asase no a ɛwɔ Gaas bepɔ no atifi fam no.
10 Awo ab’omulembe gwa Yoswa bonna bwe baafa ne baggwaawo ne waddawo omulembe gw’abataamanya Mukama yadde ebikolwa eby’amaanyi bye yakolera Abayisirayiri.
Saa awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ no akyi no, awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ foforɔ nyiniiɛ a na wɔnnim Awurade, na wɔnkae nneɛma akɛseɛ a wayɛ ama Israel.
11 Abayisirayiri ne bakola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama era ne basinza Babayaali.
Na Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ deɛ ɛnyɛ wɔ Awurade ani so, na wɔsom Baalim ahoni.
12 Ne banyiiza Mukama kubanga baagoberera era ne basinza bakatonda abalala abamawanga agaali gabeetoolodde ne beerabira Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjaabwe eyabaggya mu nsi ye Misiri.
Wɔgyaa Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn a ɔyii wɔn firii Misraim no. Wɔdii anyame foforɔ akyi, somm saa anyame no a ɛyɛ nnipa a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia no dea. Na wɔmaa Awurade bo fuiɛ.
13 Ne bava ku Mukama ne basinza ba Baali ne Asutoleesi.
Wɔgyaa Awurade akyi die, kɔsom Baalim ne Astoret ahoni.
14 Mukama n’asunguwalira nnyo Abayisirayiri: Kyeyava abawaayo mu mikono gy’abanyazi ne babanyanga era ne batasobola na kwerwanako okuva mu mikono gy’abalabe baabwe ababeetoolodde kubanga Mukama yali amaze okubawaayo.
Yei maa Awurade bo fuu Israel, enti ɔde wɔn hyɛɛ afomfafoɔ nsa, ma wɔwiaa wɔn ahodeɛ. Ɔtɔn wɔn maa wɔn atamfoɔ a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia, na wɔantumi annyina wɔn ano.
15 Buli gye baatabaalanga ne bawangulwa kubanga Mukama yabavaako olw’ekibi kyabwe nga bwe yabalayirira; ne bawotookerera nnyo.
Ɛberɛ biara a Israelfoɔ bɛkɔ ɔko no, Awurade ko tia wɔn ma wɔdi nkoguo, sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ bɔ no. Enti, wɔn ho hiahiaa wɔn papaapa.
16 Mukama n’abawa abakulembeze abaabalwaniriranga ne babawonya abanyazi.
Afei, Awurade pagyaa atemmufoɔ ma wɔbɛgyee Israelfoɔ firi wɔn atamfoɔ nsam.
17 Naye tebaawuliriza bakulembeze baabwe ne bagoberera era ne basinza bakatonda abalala. Tebaakola nga bajjajjaabwe abaagobereranga n’okuwuliranga ebiragiro bya Mukama.
Nanso, Israelfoɔ no antie atemmufoɔ no. Wɔkɔɔ so de wɔn ho bɔɔ anyame foforɔ, kotoo wɔn. Wɔtwee wɔn ho ntɛm so firii wɔn agyanom a wɔyɛɛ ɔsetie maa Awurade mmaransɛm no kwan so.
18 Buli Mukama lwe yabawanga omukulembeze yamuyambanga era n’anunulanga Abayisirayiri okuva mu mikono gy’abalabe baabwe ekiseera eky’omukulembeze oyo. Olw’okusindanga n’okweraliikirizibwa abalabe baabwe abaabajooganga, Mukama kyeyava abakwatirwa ekisa.
Ɛberɛ biara a Awurade de ɔtemmufoɔ bi bɛdua Israel so no, na ɔka saa ɔtemmufoɔ no ho na ɔgye nnipa no firi wɔn atamfoɔ no nsam wɔ saa ɔtemmufoɔ no nkwa nna nyinaa mu. Ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade hunuu ne nkurɔfoɔ a wɔredi wɔn nya na wɔrehunu amane no mmɔbɔ.
19 Naye omukulembeze olwafanga ne baddamu okweyisanga obubi okukira ne bajjajjaabwe, ne bagobereranga ne baweerezanga era n’okuvuunamiranga bakatonda abalala ne banywerera ku mpisa zaabwe embi olw’emputtu yaabwe.
Nanso, atemmufoɔ no wuo akyi no, nnipa no sane kɔɔ wɔn bra bɔne no mu a, afei na wɔasɛesɛe sene wɔn a wɔdii wɔn anim ɛkan no. Wɔdii anyame foforɔ akyi. Wɔkotoo wɔn, somm wɔn. Na wɔampɛ sɛ wɔgyae wɔn nnebɔnesɛm ne kɔnseneeɛsɛm no.
20 Mukama n’asunguwalira nnyo Abayisirayiri n’agamba nti, “Olw’okuba nga abantu bano bamenye endagaano gye nalagaana ne bajjajjaabwe, so tebagondedde ddoboozi lyange,
Enti, Awurade bo fuu Israel. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Esiane sɛ saa nnipa yi abu apam a me ne wɔn agyanom yɛeɛ so, na wɔapo me mmaransɛm enti,
21 siifubutule mu maaso gaabwe wadde eggwanga n’erimu ku ago Yoswa ge yafa bawangudde.
merempamo aman a Yosua anni wɔn so ansa na ɔrewuo no.
22 Wabula nzija kukozesa amawanga gano okugezesa Abayisirayiri okulaba obanga banaafaayo okunywerera mu kkubo lya Mukama nga bajjajjaabwe bwe baakola, oba nedda.”
Meyɛɛ yei de sɔɔ Israel hwɛeɛ sɛ wɔbɛtie Awurade sɛdeɛ wɔn agyanom yɛeɛ no.”
23 Bw’atyo Mukama n’aleka amawanga gali mu nsi eyo, n’atagawaayo mu mikono gya Yoswa yadde okugafubutula mu nsi eyo nga Yoswa yaakafa.
Ɛno enti na amma Awurade ampam aman no ntɛm so na wamma Yosua ammɛdi wɔn nyinaa so no.
