UDutheronomi 31
1 UMosi waphuma wayakwethula lamazwi kubo bonke abako-Israyeli wathi:
Ɛberɛ a Mose kaa saa nsɛm yi kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ wieeɛ no,
2 “Sengileminyaka elikhulu lamatshumi amabili yokuzalwa angisenelisi ukulikhokhela. UThixo usethe kimi, ‘Awusayi kuchapha iJodani.’
ɔkaa bio sɛ, “Seesei madi mfeɛ ɔha ne aduonu enti, merentumi nni mo anim bio. Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ merentwa Asubɔnten Yordan.
3 UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu nguye ozachapha phambi kwenu. Uzabhubhisa lezizizwe phambi kwenu, lina lizathatha ilizwe lazo libe ngelenu. UJoshuwa laye uzachapha ahambe phambi kwenu, njengokutsho kukaThixo.
Nanso Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ankasa bɛdi mo anim atwa. Ɔbɛsɛe aman a wɔte hɔ na mobɛfa wɔn asase no. Yosua ne onipa foforɔ a ɔbɛdi mo anim sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ mo bɔ no.
4 UThixo uzakwenza lokho akwenza kuSihoni lo-Ogi, amakhosi ama-Amori, ababhubhisa wabatshabalalisa lamazwe abo.
Awurade bɛsɛe amanaman a wɔte asase no so no sɛdeɛ ɔsɛee Sihon ne Og a na wɔyɛ Amorifoɔ ahemfo no.
5 UThixo uzabanikela kini, lina-ke kufanele lenze lokho engililaye khona.
Awurade de nnipa a wɔte hɔ no bɛhyɛ mo nsa na mo ne wɔn bɛdi no sɛdeɛ mɛhyɛ mo no.
6 Qinani libe lesibindi. Lingesabi lithithibale ngenxa yabo, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uhamba lani, kayikulitshiya njalo kayikulifulathela.”
Monyɛ den na mo bo nyɛ duru! Monnsuro wɔn! Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛdi mo anim. Ɔrenni mo hwammɔ na ɔrennya mo nso.”
7 Ngakho uMosi wasebiza uJoshuwa wasesithi kuye phambi kwakhe wonke u-Israyeli, “Qina njalo iba lesibindi, ngoba kumele uhambe lalababantu kulelolizwe uThixo afunga kubokhokho babo ukubanika, njalo uzamele ubabele lona ubahlukanisele libe yilifa labo.
Afei, Mose frɛɛ Yosua ka kyerɛɛ no Israelfoɔ no nyinaa anim sɛ, “Yɛ den na yɛ nnam, na wo na wode ɔman yi bɛkɔ asase a Awurade kaa wɔn agyanom ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn no so; na wo na wobɛkyɛ ama wɔn.
8 UThixo ngokwakhe uhamba phambi kwakho njalo uzakuba lawe; kasoze akutshiye loba akufulathele. Ungesabi; ungapheli amandla.”
Awurade na ɔredi wʼanim. Ɔbɛka wo ho; ɔrenni wo hwammɔ na ɔrennya wo, enti nsuro na mma wʼakoma ntu!”
9 UMosi wawuloba phansi umthetho wawuqhubela abaphristi, amadodana abaLevi, ababethwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo, kanye labadala bonke bako-Israyeli.
Afei, Mose twerɛɛ mmara yi too hɔ; ɔde maa asɔfoɔ a wɔyɛ Lewi mmammarima a wɔsoaa Awurade apam adaka no ne Israel mpanimfoɔ nyinaa.
10 UMosi wasebalaya wathi, “Ekupheleni kweminyaka eyisikhombisa, ngomnyaka wokwesulelana izikwelede, ngoMkhosi weziHonqo,
Mose hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mfeɛ nson biara awieeɛ, Asese Afahyɛ mu no, wɔmfa obiara ka a ɔde no nkyɛ no.
11 ngesikhathi abako-Israyeli bonke bezokuma phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu endaweni azabe eyikhethile, lizawubala lumthetho phambi kwabo bezizwela.
Israelfoɔ nyinaa nhyia wɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn anim wɔ baabi a ɔbɛkyerɛ no, na moakan saa mmara yi wɔ wɔn anim ama wɔate.
12 Lizabuthanisa abantu, amadoda, abafazi labantwana, kanye labezizweni abahlala emadolobheni enu ukuze bazizwele bafunde ukwesaba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu balandele ngonanzelelo wonke amazwi alumthetho.
Frɛ nnipa no nyinaa, mmarima, mmaa, mmɔfra ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo nkuro so nso sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛte na wɔbɛsua sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsuro Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na wɔbɛdi mmara no so pɛpɛɛpɛ,
13 Abantwababo, abangawaziyo lumthetho, kumele bawuzwe njalo bafunde ukwesaba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngasosonke isikhathi lisahlezi kulelilizwe elizachapha uJodani ukuba liyelithatha.”
na ama wɔn mma a wɔnnim mmara no ate na wɔasua sɛdeɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsuro Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, mmerɛ dodoɔ a mote asase a moretwam afa Yordan akɔfa sɛ agyapadeɛ so no.”
14 UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Usuku lokubhubha kwakho selusondele. Biza uJoshuwa lize lobabili ethenteni lokuhlangana, lapho engizamgcobela khona.” Ngakho uMosi loJoshuwa bahamba bayazethula ethenteni lokuhlangana.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Wo owuo berɛ aso. Frɛ Yosua na fa no kɔ ntomadan no mu na mede nʼadwuma bɛhyɛ ne nsa wɔ hɔ.” Enti Mose ne Yosua kɔdaa wɔn ho adi wɔ ntomadan no mu.
15 UThixo wasebonakala ethenteni ngensika yeyezi, njalo iyezi lelo lema phezu komnyango wethente.
Na Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ wɔn wɔ fadum omununkum mu wɔ ntomadan kronkron no aboboano.
16 UThixo waphinda wathi kuMosi: “Ususiyaphumula laboyihlo, kanti-ke lababantu bazahugeka masinyazana bakhonze onkulunkulu balelilizwe abazangena kulo. Bazangifulathela bephule isivumelwano engasenza labo.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose “Ɛrenkyɛre, wobɛwu na woakɔka wʼagyanom ho. Wo wuo akyi no, saa nnipa yi bɛfiti aseɛ asom anyame ahɔhoɔ, anyame a wɔwɔ asase a wɔrekɔ so no. Wɔbɛpa me na wɔabu apam a me ne wɔn hyehyɛeɛ no so.
17 Ngalolosuku ngizabathukuthelela ngibafulathele; ngizabafihlela ubuso bami, njalo bazabhujiswa. Bazakwehlelwa zingozi ezinengi lobunzima phezu kwabo, njalo ngalolosuku bazabuza bathi: ‘Kambe akusikuthi ingozi lezi zisehlela kubi kangaka ngoba uNkulunkulu wethu kakho phakathi kwethu na?’
Ɛba saa a, mʼabufuo bɛdɛre atia wɔn. Mɛpa wɔn, na mede mʼanim asie wɔn na wɔbɛsɛe wɔn. Ɔhaw a emu yɛ den bɛba wɔn so ama wɔaka sɛ, ‘Saa ɔhaw yi twa sɛ ɛba, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn nni yɛn nkyɛn bio.’
18 Ngiqinisile ubuso bami ngizabufihla ngalolosuku ngenxa yobubi babo ngokuphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu.
Saa ɛberɛ no mede mʼanim bɛsie wɔn ɛsiane wɔn bɔne ahodoɔ a wɔayɛ afa anyame foforɔ a wɔsom no ho enti.
19 Lobani lingoma liyifundise abako-Israyeli ukuze bayihlabele ibe ngufakazi wami wokumelana labo.
“Afei, montwerɛ saa dwom yi mu nsɛm mfa na monkyerɛ Israelfoɔ no, na wɔnto sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ adansedeɛ ama me, na mede atia wɔn.
20 Ngizakuthi sengibangenise elizweni eligeleza uchago loluju, ilizwe engalithembisa okhokho babo ngesifungo, bathi nxa sebedle basutha baphumelela, bazaphendukela kwabanye onkulunkulu babakhonze, bangiphike njalo bephule isivumelwano sami.
Mede wɔn bɛba asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene wɔ so sɛdeɛ mekaa ntam hyɛɛ wɔn agyanom bɔ no. Na wɔdidi mee yɛ akɛseɛ a, afei, wɔbɛdane wɔn ani akɔsom anyame afoforɔ apo me, na wɔnam so abu mʼapam no so.
21 Kuzakuthi nxa sebehlaselwa zingozi lobunzima, ingoma le izakuba yibufakazi bokumelana labo ngoba ayiyikukhohlakala lakuzizukulwane zabo. Ngiyakwazi okulula kubo ukuba bakwenze, lanxa ngingakabangenisi elizweni engibathembise lona ngesifungo.”
Afei, ɔhaw ne akwansideɛ bebree ba wɔn so a, ɛdwom yi bɛtia wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn asefoɔ werɛ remfiri da. Menim deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ ansa koraa na mede wɔn bɛba asase a maka ho ntam ahyɛ bɔ no so.”
22 Ngakho uMosi wabhala leyongoma mhlalokho wahle wayifundisa abako-Israyeli.
Enti, Mose twerɛɛ dwom no guu hɔ saa ɛda no, na ɔkyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no.
23 UThixo wanika uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni umlayo othi “Qina ube lesibindi, ngoba uzangenisa abako-Israyeli elizweni engabathembisa lona ngesifungo, njalo mina ngokwami ngizakuba lawe.”
Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Nun babarima Yosua sɛ, “Yɛ den na yɛ nnam, ɛfiri sɛ, wo na wode Israelfoɔ bɛba asase a mekaa ntam hyɛɛ ho bɔ no so, na mʼankasa mɛka mo ho.”
24 Ngemva kokuba uMosi eseqedile ukuloba ogwalweni amazwi alowomthetho kusukela ekuqaleni kusiya ekucineni,
Ɛberɛ a Mose twerɛɛ mmaransɛm no nyinaa guu nwoma mu wieeɛ no,
25 walaya abaLevi ababethwala umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo wathi:
ɔde saa ɔhyɛ nsɛm yi maa Lewifoɔ a wɔsoaa Awurade apam adaka no:
26 “Thathani iNcwadi yoMthetho le liyifake eceleni komtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, izahlala lapha njengofakazi walokho elikwenzayo.
“Momfa saa Mmara Nwoma yi nkɔto Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, apam adaka no nkyɛn. Ɛhɔ na ɛbɛda sɛ adansedeɛ a ɛtia Israelfoɔ.
27 Mina ngiyakwazi ukuhlamuka kwenu lokuba ngontamozilukhuni kwenu. Nxa kade lihlamukela uThixo ngisaphila njalo ngiselani, kuzakuba nganani ukuhlamuka kwenu nxa sengifile!
Ɛfiri sɛ, menim sɛdeɛ moyɛ atuatefoɔ ne asoɔden. Mpo, me ne mo da so wɔ hɔ yi, moate Awurade so atua. Na me wuo akyi no, atua bɛn na morente!
28 Buthanisani phambi kwami bonke abadala bezizwana zenu kanye lezikhulu zenu zonke ukuze ngethule lamazwi bezizwela nginxuse izulu lomhlaba ukuba kufakaze ububi babo.
Momfrɛ mo mpanimfoɔ nyinaa ne mo mmusuakuo ntuanofoɔ nyinaa sɛdeɛ mɛtumi akasa akyerɛ wɔn na mafrɛ ɔsoro ne asase de adi adanseɛ atia wɔn.
29 Ngoba ngiyakwazi ukuthi nxa ngingasekho sengifile lizaxhwala liphambuke endleleni engililaye yona. Ensukwini ezizayo, lizawelwa yingozi ngoba lizakwenza ububi phambi kukaThixo limvuse ulaka ngemisebenzi emibi yezandla zenu.”
Menim sɛ me wuo akyi, mobɛsɛe koraa na moapae afiri ɛkwan a makyerɛ mo sɛ momfa so no so. Mmerɛ a ɛreba no mu, amanehunu bɛba mo so, ɛfiri sɛ, monam bɔne a mobɛyɛ wɔ Awurade anim no so bɛhyɛ no abufuhyeɛ.”
30 Ngakho uMosi wawaphinda amazwi engoma leyo kusukela ekuqaleni kusiya ekuphetheni ibandla lonke lako-Israyeli lilalele:
Enti, Mose kaa dwom no mu nsɛm nyinaa kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ a wɔahyia wɔ hɔ no.
