1 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 “Thuma amadoda athile ukuba ayehlola ilizwe laseKhenani, engilinika abako-Israyeli. Kusendo ngalunye lwesizwe thuma umkhokheli oyedwa.”
“Soma akwansrafo na wɔnkɔ Kanaan asase so; asase a mede rema Israelfo no. Soma mmusuakuw dumien no mu biara ntuanoni.”
3 Ngakho ngokulaya kukaThixo uMosi wabakhupha labo enkangala yePharani. Bonke babengabakhokheli bako-Israyeli.
Enti Mose yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no. Ɔsomaa mmarima dumien a wɔn nyinaa yɛ mmusuakuw ntuanofo fi wɔn atenae wɔ Paran sare so.

16 La ngamabizo alawomadoda athunywa nguMosi ukuyahlola ilizwe. (UMosi wetha uHosheya indodana kaNuni ibizo elithi Joshuwa.)
Nnipa yi na Mose somaa wɔn ma wɔkɔsraa Kanaan asase no. Mose na ɔmaa Nun ba Hosea din Yosua.
17 Ekubathumeni kwakhe ukuyahlola ilizwe laseKhenani, uMosi wathi kubo, “Hambani liye eNegebi likhuphukele elizweni lezintaba.
Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔ atifi fam wɔ Negeb bepɔw no so.
18 Likhangele ukuthi ilizwe lakhona linjani njalo lokuthi abantu bakhona balamandla kumbe babuthakathaka, balutshwana kumbe banengi.
Monhwɛ sɛnea ɛhɔ asase no te; na monhwɛ wɔn a wɔte hɔ no nso tebea sɛ wɔwɔ ahoɔden anaa wɔyɛ mmerɛw, sɛ wɔdɔɔso anaa wosua.
19 Ilizwe abahlala kulo linjani? Lihle na loba libi? Amadolobho abahlala kuwo anjani? Agonjolozelwe ngemiduli loba asegcekeni nje?
Asasesu bɛn na wɔte so? Eye anaasɛ enye? Nkurowsu bɛn na wɔtete mu? Ɛdeda hɔ petee anaasɛ afasu wowɔ ho?
20 Umhlabathi wakhona unjani? Uvundile na loba ulugwadule? Langabe lilezihlahla loba hayi? Yenzani ubungcono benu libuye lezinye zezithelo zakulelolizwe.” (Kwakuyisikhathi sokuvuthwa kwezithelo zakuqala zevini.)
Dɔte no te dɛn? Srade wɔ mu anaasɛ ɛyɛ kwaboo? Nnua wɔ so anaasɛ nnua nni so? Mommɔ mmɔden na momfa ɛhɔ nnɔbae no bi mmra.” Saa bere no na wɔretew bobe aba kan.
21 Ngakho bahamba ukuyahlola ilizwe besukela eNkangala yaseZini kuze kuyefika eRehobhi, ngokuya eLebho Hamathi.
Enti wɔkɔsraa asase no fi Sin sare so kosii Rehob a ɛbɛn Hamat no.
22 Bahamba-ke badabula eNegebi baze bayafika eHebhroni, lapho okwakuhlala khona u-Ahimani, loSheshayi kanye loThalimayi, izizukulwane zika-Anakhi. (IHebhroni yakhiwa iminyaka eyisikhombisa kungakakhiwa idolobho laseZowani eGibhithe.)
Wɔfaa atifi fam kɔfaa Negeb beduu Hebron. Ɛhɔ na wohuu Anak asefo a wɔfrɛ wɔn Ahiman, Sesai ne Talmai. Hebron yɛ kurow dedaw. Wɔkyekyeree saa kurow no mfe ason ansa na wɔrekyekyere Soan a ɛwɔ Misraim no.
23 Bathi befika esihotsheni sase-Eshikholi baquma ugatsha olwalulesixha sezithelo zevini. Ababili babo basithwala besigaxe egodweni ndawonye lamaphomegranathi kanye lomkhiwa.
Woduu Eskol bon mu no, wotwaa mman a bobe kasiaw wɔ so. Mmarima baanu na wɔworaa no dua soa kaa borɔdɔma aba ho de kɔe.
24 Lindawo yabizwa ngokuthi yisihotsha sase-Eshikholi ngenxa yesixha sezithelo zevini esaqunywa khona ngabako-Israyeli.
Saa bere no, Israelfo no too subon hɔ din sɛ “Eskol bon mu” a nkyerɛase ne “Kasiaw,” efisɛ wohuu bobe kasiaw pii wɔ hɔ.
25 Ngemva kwensuku ezingamatshumi amane zokuhlola ilizwe inhloli zabuyela emuva.
Adaduanan akyi no, wofii wɔn akwansra no mu bae.
26 Babuyela kuMosi lo-Aroni lakuso sonke isizwe sako-Israyeli eKhadeshi, enkangala yasePharani. Babikela uMosi lo-Aroni kanye labo bonke abako-Israyeli njalo batshengisa lezithelo zakulelolizwe.
Wɔkaa nea wokohui nyinaa kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron ne nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa ne wɔn a wɔwɔ Paran sare so wɔ Kades na wɔde aduaba a wɔde bae no kyerɛe.
27 Balandisela uMosi bathi: “Sihambile elizweni lelo obukade usithume kulo, ngempela ligeleza uchago loluju! Nanzi izithelo zalo.
Asɛm a wɔbɛkae ne sɛ, “Yeduu asase a wosomaa yɛn sɛ yɛnkɔsra so no so, na ɛwo ne nufusu sen wɔ so ampa! Ɛso aduaba a yɛde bae ni.
28 Kodwa abantu abahlala khona balamandla kanti lamadolobho akhona makhulu njalo avikelwe. Size sabona lezizukulwane zika-Anakhi khonale.
Nanso na nnipa a wɔtete hɔ no yɛ den. Wɔn nkurow no soso na wɔabɔ ho ban nso. Yehuu Anak asefo wɔ hɔ mpo.
29 Ama-Amaleki ahlala eNegebi; amaHithi, lamaJebusi lama-Amori bahlala elizweni lezintaba, amaKhenani wona ahlala eduzane lolwandle esekele umfula uJodani.”
Amalekfo te anafo na Hetifo, Yebusifo ne Amorifo nso tete mmepɔw so. Na Kanaanfo nso tete Ntam Po no ne Yordan subon ho.”
30 Emva kwalokho uKhalebi wathulisa abantu phambi kukaMosi wasesithi, “Kufanele ukuthi sihambe siyethatha ilizwe leli libe ngelethu, ngoba singakwenza sibili.”
Na Kaleb bɔɔ nnipa no ano wɔ Mose anim kae se, “Momma yɛmforo nkɔ hɔ prɛko pɛ na yɛnkɔfa asase no, efisɛ yebetumi adi wɔn so nkonim.”
31 Kodwa amadoda lawo ayehambe laye athi, “Asingeke sibahlasele abantu labo; balamandla kulathi.”
Nanso mmarima a wɔne no kɔe no kae se, “Yɛrentumi nkɔtoa saa nnipa yi; wɔn ho yɛ den sen yɛn.”
32 Basebetshela abantu bako-Israyeli umbiko omubi ngelizwe ababelihlolile. Bathi, “Ilizwe esilihlolileyo liyabagabhela labantu abahlala kulo. Bonke abantu esibabone khonale yiziqhwaga.
Na wɔde asɛm a ɛmma akomatɔyam fa asase a wɔkɔsraa so no ho tene faa Israelfo no mu nyinaa. Wose, “Asase a yɛkɔsraa so no sofo no yɛ awudifo nkutoo. Nnipa a yehuu wɔn wɔ hɔ no yɛ abran.
33 Sibone khona amaNefilimi (isizukulwane sika-Anakhi sivela kumaNefilimi.) Emehlweni ethu besingangentethe phambi kwabo, lasemehlweni abo besinjalo.”
Yehuu Anakfo no bi a efi awo ntoatoaso mu wɔyɛ abran no. Sɛ yɛne wɔn gyina hɔ a, na yɛayɛ te sɛ nketekre wɔ yɛn ani so. Na saa ara nso na yɛyɛɛ wɔ wɔn ani so.”
