UDutheronomi 2
1 “Sasesiphenduka siqonda enkangala ngendlela yoLwandle oluBomvu njengokulaywa kwami nguThixo. Okwesikhathi eside sasilokhu sibhoda ezweni lamaqaqa aseSeyiri.
Afei, yɛsane yɛn akyi de yɛn ani kyerɛɛ ɛserɛ so wɔ baabi a Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no da hɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no. Yɛnantenante faa Seir bepɔ ho nna bebree.
2 UThixo wasesithi kimi,
Akyire no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ,
3 ‘Selibhode labhoda ezweni lamaqaqa sekwanele; khathesi phendukani likhangele enyakatho.
“Moatwa afa saa bepɔ yi ho akyɛre yie enti monnane mo ani nkyerɛ atifi fam.
4 Nika abantu leziziqondiso: “Khathesi selizakwedlula elizweni labafowenu isizukulwane sika-Esawu, abahlala eSeyiri. Bazalesaba, kodwa libolimuka linanzelele.
Hyɛ ɔman no sɛ, ‘Mobɛfa mo nuanom Edomfoɔ a wɔyɛ Esau asefoɔ a wɔte Seir no asase so. Edomfoɔ no bɛsuro mo, nanso monhwɛ yie.
5 Lingaboqala livuse impi ngoba angiyikulipha ilizwe labo, sengisitsho lesiqinti esilingana unyawo olulodwa. Nganika u-Esawu ilizwe laseSeyiri elamaqaqa ukuthi libe ngelakhe.
Monnhyɛ wɔn abufuo a ɛde ɔko bɛba, na meremfa wɔn nsase no mu biara mma mo; mpo, baabi a mode mo nan bɛtia, ɛfiri sɛ, mede Seir bepɔ kuro ama Esau sɛ nʼatenaeɛ.
6 Lizababhadala ngesiliva libhadalela ukudla elizakudla lamanzi elizawanatha.”’
Aduane biara a mobɛdi ne nsuo biara a mobɛnom no, montua wɔn ho ka.’”
7 UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyibusisile imisebenzi yezandla zenu. Ulikhokhele kulolonke uhambo lwenu phakathi kwenkangala enkulu kangaka. Iminyaka engamatshumi amane uThixo wenu ube lani, kalizange liswele lutho.
Awurade ahyira mo nsa ano nnwuma nyinaa. Wahwɛ mo so wɔ mo akwantuo wɔ ɛserɛ kakraa yi nyinaa so. Saa mfeɛ aduanan yi nyinaa mu, Awurade aka mo ho na hwee ho anhia mo.
8 Ngakho sahamba sedlula ezihlotsheni zethu isizukulwane sika-Esawu abahlala eSeyiri. Saphenduka sisuka emgwaqweni wase-Arabha okhwela usuka e-Elathi le-Eziyoni-Gebheri, sahamba ngomgwaqo wenkangala yaseMowabi.
Yɛtwa faa yɛn nuanom a wɔyɛ Esau asefoɔ a wɔte Seir no ho. Yɛfaa Araba subɔnhwa ɛkwan no a ɛfiri Elat ne Esion-Geber no so na yɛbɛfaa Moab ɛserɛ so ɛkwan no so.
9 UThixo wasesithi kimi, ‘Lingahlukuluzi amaMowabi loba ukubavusela impi, ngoba angiyikulinika ngitsho lesiqintshana selizwe labo. Senginike ele-Ari isizukulwane sikaLothi ukuba kube yisabelo sabo.’”
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Monnha Moabfoɔ no anaa monnteetee wɔn sɛdeɛ ɛde ɔko bɛba, na meremfa wɔn nsase no mu biara mma mo. Ɛfiri sɛ, mede Ar ama Lot asefoɔ sɛ agyapadeɛ.”
10 (Ama-Emi ake ahlala khonapho, abantu abalamandla njalo abanengi kakhulu, futhi bebade njengama-Anakhi.
Kane no na Emifoɔ na wɔte hɔ. Na wɔsoso na wɔdɔɔso a wɔwoware te sɛ Anakfoɔ no.
11 Labo njengama-Anakhi babebalwa njengamaRefayi, kodwa amaMowabi ayebabiza ngokuthi ngama-Emi.
Wɔn nso, na wɔyɛ abrane sɛ Anakfoɔ no ara pɛ, a na wɔfrɛ wɔn Refaimfoɔ, nanso Moabfoɔ deɛ, na wɔfrɛ wɔn Emifoɔ.
12 AmaHori ayekade ehlala eSeyiri, kodwa adudulwa yisizukulwane sika-Esawu. Babhubhisa amaHori ayelapho basebesakha endaweni yawo, njengalokho okwenziwa ngabako-Israyeli ezweni abaliphiwa nguThixo ukuba libe yisabelo sabo.)
Kane no na Horifoɔ na wɔte Seir, nanso Esau asefoɔ tuu wɔn firii hɔ. Wɔsɛee Horifoɔ no tenaa wɔn ananmu sɛdeɛ Israel yɛɛ wɔ asase a Awurade de maa wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no so no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
13 “UThixo wasesithi, ‘Khathesi sukani lichaphe isiHotsha saseZeredi.’ Ngakho sachapha isihotsha.
Awurade kaa sɛ, “Afei, sɔre na kɔtwa asuwa Sered no.” Na yɛkɔtwaa asuwa Sered.
14 Kwedlula iminyaka engamatshumi amathathu leyisificaminwembili sisuke eKhadeshi Bhaneya sisiyachapha isiHotsha saseZeredi. Ngalesosikhathi, amadoda ebutho alesosizukulwane ayesebhubhile, njengokufungelwa kwabo nguThixo.
Na nna dodoɔ a yɛde nante firi Kades-Barnea bɛsii sɛ yɛtwaa asuwa Sered no yɛ mfirinhyia aduasa nwɔtwe. Saa ɛberɛ no, na mmarima a wɔanyinyini yie a wɔbɛtumi akɔ ɔko no nyinaa awuwu wɔ ɛserɛ no so sɛdeɛ Awurade kaeɛ no.
15 UThixo wamelana labo waze wabatshabalalisa bonke ezihonqweni.
Na Awurade nsa tiaa wɔn ara kɔsi sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛwuwuu wɔ wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ.
16 Kwathi-ke sekufe abokucina emadodeni ebutho,
Akofoɔ no nyinaa wuwu firii nnipa no mu pɛ,
17 uThixo wathi kimi,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ,
18 ‘Lamuhla uzakwedlula emangweni waseMowabi ngase-Ari.
“Ɛnnɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wofa Ar kɔsi Moab mantam mu.
19 Ekufikeni kwakho kuma-Amoni, ungawahlukuluzi loba ukuwavusela impi, ngoba angiyikukunika loba yiliphi ilizwe lama-Amoni. Ngilinike lesisizukulwane sikaLothi ukuba kube yisabelo sabo.’”
Na sɛ woduru Amonfoɔ mu a, nha wɔn anaa nhyɛ wɔn ahometeɛ a ɛde wɔn bɛkɔ ɔko mu, ɛfiri sɛ, meremma mo Amorifoɔ nsase no bi. Mede ama Lot asefoɔ sɛ agyapadeɛ.”
20 (Leli lalo laliphathwa njengelizwe lamaRefayi ayehlala khonapho; kodwa ama-Amoni ayebabiza ngokuthi ngamaZamzumu.
Saa beaeɛ hɔ na abrane akɛseɛ a na Amonfoɔ frɛ wɔn Samsumin no na wɔte kane no.
21 Babengabantu abalamandla bebanengi kakhulu, njalo bebade njengama-Anakhi. UThixo wababhubhisa phambi kwama-Amoni, wona abadudulayo njalo ahlala endaweni yabo.
Na wɔyɛ nnipa ahoɔdenfoɔ a wɔdɔɔso na wɔwoware te sɛ Anakfoɔ no. Na Awurade sɛee Samsumifoɔ no wɔ Amonfoɔ anim ma wɔtuu wɔn tenaa wɔn anan mu.
22 UThixo wayenze njalo esizukulwaneni sika-Esawu, esasiseSeyiri, ekubhubhiseni kwakhe amaHori phambi kwabo. Babadudula basebehlala endaweni yabo kuze kube lamuhla.
Saa ara na Awurade sɛee Horifoɔ wɔ Esau asefoɔ a na wɔte Seir no anim ma wɔtuu wɔn, tenaa wɔn anan mu de bɛsi ɛnnɛ yi.
23 Kanti-ke okunjengama-Avi ayehlala emizini ekhatshana njengeGaza, amaKhafithori ayevela eKhafithori ababhubhisa asehlala endaweni yabo.)
Na Awifoɔ nso a wɔtenaa nkuraa nkuraa hwete kɔduruu Gasa no nso, Kaftorfoɔ a wɔfiri Kaftor bɛsɛee wɔn, tenaa wɔn anan mu.
24 “‘Suka khathesi uchaphe uDonga lwase-Arinoni. Uyabona, senginikele esandleni sakho uSihoni umʼAmori inkosi yaseHeshibhoni kanye lelizwe lakhe. Qalisa ukuthatha lelilizwe ulwe impi laye.
“Sɔre kɔtwa Arnon subonhwa. Mede Hesbonhene Sihon a ɔyɛ Amorini no ne nʼasase ahyɛ wo nsa. Kɔto hyɛ ne so, na monko, na fa nʼasase no.
25 Kusukela lamuhla ngizaqalisa ukuthelela izizwe zonke ngaphansi kwezulu ukukwesaba. Zizakuzwa indumela yakho zethuke zesabe zihlukuluzeke ngenxa yakho.’
Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ yi ara, mede mo ho suro ne hu bɛhyɛ aman a wɔwɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa mu. Wɔbɛte mo ho nsɛm na wɔn ho bɛpopo na mo enti, wɔanya adwenemhaw.”
26 Kusukela enkangala yaseKhedemothi ngathumela izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yaseHeshibhoni ngisithi akubekhona ukuthula njalo ngisithi,
Metuu abɔfoɔ firii Kedemot ɛserɛ so kɔɔ Hesbonhene Sihon nkyɛn asomdwoeɛ so kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
27 ‘Sivumele sidabule elizweni lakho. Sizahamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu kuphela, asiyikuphambukela ngakwesokudla loba ngakwesokunxele.
“Ma yɛntwam wʼasase so ha. Yɛbɛfa ɛkwan tempɔn mu a yɛremmane mfa benkum anaa nifa so baabiara.
28 Sithengisele ukudla lamanzi okunatha ngentengo yesiliva. Sivumele nje sedlule ngezinyawo,
Tɔn aduane ma yɛnni na tɔn nsuo nso ma yɛnnom. Deɛ yɛrehwehwɛ ara ne ɛkwan a wobɛma yɛn ama yɛatwam wɔ wʼasase so,
29 njengezizukulwane zika-Esawu ezihlala eSeyiri, kanye lamaMowabi ahlala e-Ari, asenzela khona, size sichaphe uJodani singene elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu asinika lona.’
sɛdeɛ Esau asefoɔ a na wɔte Seir ne Moabfoɔ a na wɔte Ar yɛɛ yɛn no. Ma yɛntwam nkɔsi sɛ yɛbɛtwam Yordan akɔsi asase a Awurade de ama yɛn no so.”
30 Kodwa uSihoni inkosi yaseHeshibhoni yala ukuthi sedlule. Ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu wayeyenze umoya wakhe waba lobuqholo lenhliziyo yakhe yaba lukhuni ukuze amnikele ezandleni zenu, njengoba esekwenzile khathesi.
Nanso, Hesbonhene Sihon amma yɛamfa nʼasase so antwam. Ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade yɛɛ ne honhom sisirii, pirim nʼakoma sɛdeɛ ɔnam so de no bɛhyɛ wo nsam nam so adi wɔn so nkonim sɛdeɛ wayɛ no ɛnnɛ yi.
31 UThixo wathi kimi, ‘Khangela, sengiqalisile ukunikela uSihoni lelizwe lakhe kuwe. Qalisa khathesi ukunqoba uthathe ilizwe lakhe.’
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Mafiti aseɛ de Sihon ne ne ɔman ahyɛ wo nsam. Afei, fiti aseɛ na di wɔn so, na fa nʼasase no.”
32 Kwathi uSihoni ephuma lebutho lakhe ukusihlangabeza ekuhlaseleni eJahazi,
Ɛberɛ a Sihon ne ne dɔm bɛhyiaa yɛn ɔko so wɔ Yahas no,
33 uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu wamnikela kithi sambulala, yena kanye lamadodana akhe lebutho lakhe lonke.
Awurade de no maa yɛn ma yɛdii ɔno, ne ne manfoɔ nyinaa so.
34 Ngalesosikhathi sathatha amadolobho akhe sawabhidliza, amadoda, abesifazane kanye labantwana. Kakho owasilayo.
Na yɛfaa ne nkuro nyinaa saa ɛberɛ no sɛee ne mmarima, mmaa ne mmɔfra a wɔwɔ kuropɔn biara mu a yɛannya obiara,
35 Kodwa izifuyo lakho konke esakuthumbayo emadolobheni esawanqobayo sazithathela khona.
gye afieboa nko na yɛfomm wɔn faeɛ, ɛnna nkuro a yɛfaeɛ no mu asadeɛ.
36 Kusukela e-Aroweri emngceleni wodonga lwase-Arinoni, kanye lokusuka edolobheni elisedongeni, kusiya khonale eGiliyadi, akuladolobho elalingamelana lathi. UThixo uNkulunkulu wethu wawanikela wonke kithi.
Ɛfiri Aroer a ɛda Arnon subɔnhwa ano ne kuro a ɛda subɔnhwa no mu no so de kɔsi Gilead no, kuro biara nni hɔ a na ɛsodie yɛ den ma yɛn; Awurade de ne nyinaa hyɛɛ yɛn nsa.
37 Kodwa kusiya ngokulaya kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wethu, alizange lingene elizweni lama-Amoni, kumbe elizweni elisemingceleni yomfula uJabhoki loba lelo elilamadolobho asemaqaqeni.”
Nanso, yɛammɛn Amorifoɔ a na wɔwɔ Asubɔnten Yabok ho ne mmepɔ no so nkuro no baabiara a Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnnkɔ no.
