UDutheronomi 23
1 “Loba ngubani olimele amaphambili, kungaba ngokuthenwa kumbe ukugxotshwa kavunyelwa ukungena ebandleni likaThixo.
Ɔbarima a wɔasa no anaa wɔatwa ne barima atwene no mmma Awurade badwa ase.
2 Loba ngubani ozelwe ngobufebe loba izizukulwane zakhe kuze kube ngesetshumi, kavunyelwa ukungena ebandleni likaThixo.
Wɔn a wɔyɛ mpena mma ne wɔn asefoɔ kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛtɔ so edu no mmma Awurade badwa ase.
3 Kakho umʼAmoni loba owaseMowabi loba isizukulwane sakhe kuze kufike esizukulwaneni setshumi ozavunyelwa ukungena embuthanweni kaThixo.
Amonfoɔ anaa Moabfoɔ anaa sɛ wɔn asefoɔ kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ edu no mu biara mmma Awurade badwa ase.
4 Kungenxa yokuthi abalihlangabezanga beliphathele isinkwa kanye lamanzi endleleni yenu ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe, bona basuka baqhatsha uBhalamu indodana kaBheyori owePhethori e-Aramu Naharayimu ukuba ehlisele isiqalekiso phezu kwenu.
Saa aman yi annye mo, amma mo aduane anaa sɛ nsuo ɛberɛ a mofiri Misraim reba no. Mmom, wɔkɔbɔɔ Beor babarima Balaam a ɔfiri Petor a ɛwɔ Mesopotamia paa sɛ ɔmmɛdome mo.
5 Kodwa-ke, uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu kazangalalele uBhalamu kodwa waphendula isiqalekiso saba yisibusiso kini, ngenxa yokuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyalithanda.
Nanso Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, antie Balaam. Ɔdanee nnome no ma ɛyɛɛ nhyira maa mo, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn dɔ mo.
6 Lingadingi ukwakha ubungane labo ekuphileni kwenu konke.
Na sɛ mote ase yi, mommmoa Amonfoɔ ne Moabfoɔ ɛkwan biara so da biara da.
7 Lingamenyanyi owase-Edomi, ngoba ungumfowenu. Lingamenyanyi umGibhithe, ngoba laphila njengabezizweni elizweni lakhe.
Monnkyiri Edomfoɔ anaa Misraimfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Edomfoɔ yɛ mo nuanom na motenaa Misraimfoɔ nso mu sɛ ahɔhoɔ.
8 Isizukulwane sesithathu sabantwana abazalwa lapho bangangena ebandleni likaThixo.”
Misraimfoɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ mmiɛnsa a wɔne mo firii Misraim no bɛkɔ Awurade badwa ase.
9 “Nxa lithobelene lezitha zenu ekuhlaseleni, xekani lakho konke okungahlanzekanga.
Sɛ mokɔ ɔko de tia mo atamfoɔ a, montwe mo ho mfiri deɛ ɛho nte biara ho.
10 Nxa kukhona indoda phakathi kwenu ezichithele ngobudoda ebusuku, kumele iphumele ngaphandle kwezihonqo ihle iyehlala khonale.
Sɛ ɔbarima bi ho gu fi ɛsiane anadwo mu ahobaa a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfiri atenaeɛ hɔ kɔtena baabi ɛda mu no nyinaa.
11 Kodwa-ke akuthi ilanga selithambeka igeze, kuthi-ke ngokutshona kwelanga ibuyele ezihonqweni.
Ɛduru anwummerɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdware na owia kɔtɔ a, ɔnsane mmra atenaeɛ hɔ.
12 Khethani indawo ngaphandle kwezihonqo lapho elizayela ngaphandle khona.
Montwa baabi a mobɛgya mo anan wɔ asraafoɔ atenaeɛ hɔ.
13 Wobani lesikhali sokugebha kuthi lingaya ngaphandle, ligebhe igodi ligqibele leyongcekeza.
Mo mu biara mfa sofi nka ne nneɛma ho. Ɛberɛ biara a mobɛgya mo anan no, momfa sofi no ntu amena na monkata agyanan no so.
14 Ngenxa yokuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyahambahamba phakathi kwezihonqo zenu ukuze alivikele ezitheni zenu. Izihonqo zenu kumele zibengcwele, ukuze angaboni lutho olungalunganga phakathi kwenu okuzakwenza alifulathele.”
Ɛsɛ sɛ asraafoɔ atenaeɛ hɔ yɛ kronkron, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nam mo atenaeɛ no so bɔ mo ho ban, na moadi mo atamfoɔ so nkonim. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔhunu animguasedeɛ biara wɔ mo mu; sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔbɛdane nʼakyi akyerɛ mo.
15 “Nxa isigqili sidinga ukuphephela kini lingasibuyiseli kumnikazi waso.
Sɛ ɛba sɛ nkoa dwane firi wɔn wuranom nkyɛn na wɔba mo nkyɛn bɛgye wɔn ho dwanekɔbea a, mommpam wɔn mma wɔnnsane wɔn akyi.
16 Siyekeleni sizihlalele lapho esifuna ukuhlala khona njalo sizihlalele kulelodolobho esifuna ukuhlala kulo. Lingasincindezeli.
Momma wɔntena mo mu wɔ kuro biara a wɔpɛ so a monnnyɛ wɔn aniɛyaadeɛ.
17 Akungabi lowesilisa wako-Israyeli loba owesifazane ozakuba yisifebe sethempelini.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ Israelni barima anaa ɔbaa yɛ no ho hyiadan mu odwamanfoɔ.
18 Lingaboletha inzuzo yowesifazane ofebayo loba owesilisa ofebayo endlini kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ezobhadala loba yisiphi isithembiso, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uyanengeka ngabo bonke.
Mommfa afɔrebɔdeɛ anaa adenya bi a ɛfiri odwamanfoɔ nkyɛn, sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa, mma Awurade mo Onyankopɔn fie, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn akyiwadeɛ.
19 Umfowenu ungamhlawulisi inzuzo, loba ngeyemali loba ngeyokudla loba yini engamlethela inzuzo.
Bosea a mobɔ mo yɔnko Israelni no, sɛ ɛyɛ sika, aduane anaa biribi foforɔ no, monnnye ho mfɛntom.
20 Owezizweni lingamhlawulisa inzuzo, kodwa hatshi umfowenu wako-Israyeli, ukuze uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alibusise kukho konke elikwenza ngezandla zenu elizweni elizangena kulo ukuba libe ngelenu.
Motumi gye bosea ho mfɛntom firi ahɔhoɔ nkyɛn, na ɛnyɛ Israelfoɔ nkyɛn, sɛdeɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛhyira mo wɔ biribiara a moyɛ mu wɔ asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no.
21 Nxa lingenza isifungo kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lingaphuzi ukusibhadala, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzakufuna kini loba sekutheni njalo lizakuba lomlandu wesono.
Sɛ mohyɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn bɔ a, biribiara a mohyɛɛ no ho bɔ no, monyɛ no ntɛm so. Ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn hwehwɛ sɛ, ɛbɔ a moahyɛ no no, mobɛdi so ntɛm so. Sɛ moanyɛ a, mobɛdi ho fɔ.
22 Kodwa nxa lingayekela ukwenza isifungo kaliyikuba lomlandu.
Nanso, sɛ moanhyɛ biribiara ho bɔ a, monyɛɛ bɔne biara.
23 Konke lokho okuphuma endebeni zenu kumele libe leqiniso ukukwenza, ngoba lenze lesosifungo ngokukhululeka lithembisa kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngemilomo yenu.
Na sɛ wo ara wofiri wo pɛ mu hyɛ bɔ a, hwɛ yie na di asɛm a woaka no so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn na woahyɛ no bɔ no.
24 Nxa lingangena esivinini sikamakhelwane wenu, lingadla wonke amagrebisi elifisa ukuwadla, kodwa lingafaki lelilodwa esitsheni senu.
Wotumi di bobe aba dodoɔ biara wɔ wo yɔnko bobe turom nanso, mfa bi ngu kɛntɛn mu nkɔ.
25 Nxa lingena ensimini kamakhelwane eyamabele, lilakho ukudobha okuwileyo ngezandla, kodwa limukani lingasebenzisi isikela emabeleni alokhu emi ngamahlanga.”
Saa ara na mobɛtumi de mo nsa apempan aburoo mmɛtem kakra wɔ mo yɔnko afuom, nanso ɛnsɛ sɛ mode sekan twa.
