Abahluleli 10
1 Ngemva kwensuku zika-Abhimelekhi kwavela umuntu wako-Isakhari, uThola indodana kaPhuwa, indodana kaDodo ukuba ahlenge u-Israyeli. Wayehlala eShamiri, elizweni lezintaba elako-Efrayimi.
Abimelek wuo akyi no, Pua a ɔyɛ Dodo aseni no babarima Tola ba bɛgyee Israel. Na ɔfiri Isakar abusuakuo mu, nanso ɔtenaa Samir a ɛwɔ Efraim bepɔ asase so.
2 Wakhokhela u-Israyeli iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lantathu; wasesifa, wangcwatshwa eShamiri.
Ɔyɛɛ Israel so ɔtemmufoɔ mfeɛ aduonu mmiɛnsa. Ɔwuiɛ no wɔsiee no wɔ Samir.
3 Walandelwa nguJayiri owaseGiliyadi, owakhokhela u-Israyeli iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lambili.
Tola wuo akyi no, Yair a ɔfiri Gilead bɛyɛɛ Israel so ɔtemmufoɔ mfeɛ aduonu mmienu.
4 Wayelamadodana angamatshumi amathathu, ayegada obabhemi abangamatshumi amathathu. Ayephethe amadolobho angamatshumi amathathu eGiliyadi, lalamhlanje abizwa ngokuthi Havothi Jayiri.
Ne mmammarima aduasa tena wɔn mfunumu so kyinkyini, na wɔdi nkuro aduasa so wɔ Gilead asase so, a ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ wɔfrɛ hɔ Yair Nkuro.
5 Ekufeni kwakhe uJayiri wangcwatshwa eKhamoni.
Yair wuiɛ na wɔsiee no Kamon.
6 Abako-Israyeli benza okubi futhi emehlweni kaThixo. Bakhonza oBhali labo-Ashithorethi, labonkulunkulu base-Aramu, labonkulunkulu baseSidoni, labonkulunkulu baseMowabi, labonkulunkulu bama-Amoni, kanye labonkulunkulu bamaFilistiya. Ngenxa yokuthi abako-Israyeli bamdela uThixo kabaze babe besamkhonza,
Bio, Israelfoɔ yɛɛ Awurade ani so bɔne. Wɔsomm Baal ne Astoret ahoni ne Aram, Sidon, Moab, Amon ne Filistia anyame. Wɔtwee wɔn ho firii Awurade ho a wɔansom no koraa.
7 wabathukuthelela kakhulu. Wabanikela ezandleni zamaFilistiya lama-Amoni,
Enti Awurade bo fuu Israelfoɔ, na ɔde wɔn hyɛɛ Filistifoɔ ne Amorifoɔ nsa,
8 okwathi ngalowomnyaka abachitha abanqoba. Ancindizela abako-Israyeli bonke okweminyaka elitshumi lasificaminwembili ngasempumalanga kweJodani eGiliyadi, ilizwe lama-Amori.
na wɔfirii aseɛ hyɛɛ wɔn so saa afe no. Wɔhyɛɛ Israelfoɔ a wɔwɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam wɔ Amorifoɔ (wɔ Gilead) asase no so mfeɛ dunwɔtwe.
9 Ama-Amoni futhi achapha iJodani ukuba alwe loJuda, loBhenjamini kanye lendlu ka-Efrayimi; u-Israyeli wayephakathi kohlupho olukhulu.
Amorifoɔ no nso twaa Yordan kɔɔ atɔeɛ fam kɔto hyɛɛ Yuda, Benyamin ne Efraim so, Israelfoɔ kɔɔ ahokyere kɛseɛ mu.
10 Lapho-ke abako-Israyeli bakhala kuThixo bathi, “Senze isono kuwe, sadela uNkulunkulu wethu sakhonza oBhali.”
Afei Israelfoɔ su frɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Yɛayɛ bɔne atia wo, ɛfiri sɛ yɛatwe yɛn ho afiri yɛn Onyankopɔn ho na yɛasom Baal ahoni.”
11 UThixo waphendula wathi, “Lapho amaGibhithe, lama-Amori, lama-Amoni, lamaFilistiya,
Awurade buaa sɛ, “Mannye mo amfiri Misraimfoɔ, Amorifoɔ, Amonfoɔ, Filistifoɔ
12 lamaSidoni, lama-Amaleki kanye lamaMawoni alincindezela lakhulekela usizo kimi, kangilihlenganga ezandleni zawo na?
Sidonfoɔ, Amalekfoɔ ne Maonfoɔ nsam? Ɛberɛ a wɔhyɛɛ mo so no, mosu frɛɛ me na megyee mo.
13 Kodwa selingidelile lakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, ngakho angisayikulisindisa.
Nanso, moagya me akɔsom anyame foforɔ. Ɛno enti, merennye mo bio.
14 Hambani liyekhala kubonkulunkulu elibathembileyo. Kabalisindise nxa seliphakathi kokuhlupheka!”
Monkɔsu nkyerɛ anyame a moafa wɔn no. Momma wɔnnye mo ɛberɛ a morehunu amaneɛ yi.”
15 Kodwa abako-Israyeli bathi kuThixo, “Senze isono. Yenza kithi lokho okubona kulungile kuwe, kodwa ake usihlenge khathesi nje.”
Nanso, Israelfoɔ no kɔɔ so srɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Yɛayɛ bɔne. Twe yɛn aso sɛdeɛ ɛfata. Nanso, gye yɛn firi yɛn atamfoɔ nsam ɛnnɛ.”
16 Ngakho basusa onkulunkulu bezizweni phakathi kwabo bakhonza uThixo. Wayengeke alumele futhi usizi luka-Israyeli.
Na Israelfoɔ no too ananafoɔ anyame no guu nkyɛn bɛsom Awurade. Na Awurade ho yeraa no wɔ wɔn ahokyere no ho.
17 Kwathi ama-Amoni esebizelwe empini njalo emise eGiliyadi, abako-Israyeli abuthana amisa eMizipha.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Amonfoɔ asraadɔm aboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Gilead, sɛ wɔrekɔto ahyɛ Israel akodɔm so wɔ Mispa.
18 Abakhokheli babantu baseGiliyadi bathi omunye komunye, “Lowo ozaqalisa ukuhlasela ama-Amoni uzakuba yinduna yabo bonke abahlala eGiliyadi.”
Na Gilead ntuanofoɔ no keka kyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Obiara a ɔbɛdi ɛkan ato ahyɛ Amonfoɔ so no, bɛyɛ deɛ ɔbɛdi Gileadfoɔ nyinaa so.”
