Amanani 14
1 Ngalobobusuku abantu bonke emphakathini baphakamisa amazwi abo bakhala kakhulu.
Afei, nnipa no nyinaa firii aseɛ suu dendeenden anadwo no nyinaa.
2 Bonke abako-Israyeli bakhonona besola uMosi lo-Aroni, lonke ibandla lathi kubo, “Ngabe sahle sazifela eGibhithe, kumbe khonapha enkangala!
Wɔde nne korɔ kasa tiaa Mose ne Aaron. Wɔsuu sɛ, “Sɛ yɛwuwuu wɔ Misraim anaa ɛserɛ so ha a, anka yɛpɛ no saa ara
3 Kungani uThixo esilethe kulelilizwe ukuthi sife sibulawa ngenkemba na? Amakhosikazi ethu kanye labantwabethu bazakuba yimpango. Kambe kakungcono yini ukuthi sibuyele eGibhithe na?”
sen sɛ wɔde yɛn bɛkɔ kuro a ɛwɔ yɛn anim no so. Awurade bɛkum yɛn wɔ hɔ na yɛn yerenom ne yɛn mma ayɛ nkoa wɔ hɔ. Momma yɛmfiri ha na yɛnkɔ Misraim!”
4 Bakhulumisana besithi, “Asikhetheni omunye umkhokheli asibuyisele eGibhithe.”
Saa asɛm yi dii wɔn nyinaa tirim dɛm. Enti wɔteaam sɛ, “Momma yɛnyi ɔpanin bi na ɔnni yɛn anim nsane mfa yɛn nkɔ Misraim.”
5 Ngakho uMosi lo-Aroni bathi mbo ngobuso phansi phambi kwabantu bako-Israyeli bonke ababebuthene lapho.
Afei, Mose ne Aaron de wɔn anim butubutuu fam wɔ Israelfoɔ no anim.
6 Kwathi uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni kanye loKhalebi indodana kaJefune, ababengabanye balabo ababeyehlola ilizwe, badabula izigqoko zabo
Akwansrafoɔ baanu, a wɔn ne Nun babarima Yosua ne Yefune babarima Kaleb sunsuanee wɔn ntadeɛ mu
7 bathi kubo bonke abako-Israyeli ababebuthene, “Ilizwe esadabula kulo salihlola lihle kakhulu.
na wɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa sɛ, “Asase a ɛda yɛn anim no yɛ asase pa.
8 Nxa uThixo ethokoza ngathi, uzasikhokhelela kulo, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju, njalo uzakusinika lona.
Na sɛ yɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɔde yɛn bɛduru asase no so dwoodwoo na ɔde hɔ ahyɛ yɛn nsa. Ɛyɛ asase bereɛ, asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ sen wɔ soɔ, na ɔde bɛma yɛn.
9 Kuphela nje lingamhlamukeli uThixo. Futhi lingabesabi abantu bakulelolizwe, ngoba sizabadla sibaqede. Kabaselaso isivikelo, kodwa uThixo ulathi. Lingabesabi.”
Ao, monnyɛ dɔm ntia Awurade, na monnsuro nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so no nso. Na wɔte sɛ burodo bi a yɛdie ma yɛn! Awurade ne yɛn wɔ hɔ na wɔn deɛ, wayi ne nsa afiri wɔn so! Monnsuro wɔn!”
10 Kodwa ibandla wonke wathi kabakhandwe ngamatshe. Inkazimulo kaThixo yasibonakala kubo bonke abako-Israyeli ethenteni lokuhlangana.
Nanso mmuaeɛ a nnipa no maeɛ ara ne sɛ, wɔbɛsi wɔn aboɔ. Afei, Awurade animuonyam baeɛ
11 UThixo wasesithi kuMosi, “Koze kube nini abantu laba bengeyisa na? Kuzaze kube nini bengangikholwa, loba sengenze izinto ezimangalisayo phakathi kwabo na?
na Awurade bisaa Mose sɛ, “Nnipa yi bɛbu me animtia akɔsi da bɛn? Anwanwadeɛ dodoɔ a mayɛ akyerɛ wɔn yi nyinaa akyi no, wɔnnye me nni?
12 Ngizabatshaya ngomkhuhlane ngibabhubhise, kodwa wena ngizakwenza ube yisizwe esikhulu njalo esilamandla kulabo.”
Mɛgye wɔn nsam nneɛma a mede ama wɔn nyinaa na mama ɔyaredɔm asɛe wɔn na mayɛ mo ɔman kɛseɛ a ɛso sene wɔn!”
13 UMosi wasesithi kuThixo, “AmaGibhithe azakuzwa lokhu! Abantu laba bakhutshwa nguwe phakathi kwabo ngamandla akho.
Mose srɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Na sɛ Misraimfoɔ yi te a, ɛdeɛn asɛm na wɔbɛdwene? Wɔn nyinaa hunuu tumi a wonam so de gyee wo nkurɔfoɔ.
14 Ngakho bazatshela abakhileyo kulelilizwe ngalesisehlakalo. Bavele sebezwile ukuthi wena, Oh Thixo, ulabo lababantu njalo lokuthi wena, Thixo, ubonakale uqondene labo ubuso ngobuso, lokuthi iyezi lakho lihlala liphezu kwabo, njalo lokuthi uhamba phambi kwabo ngensika yeyezi lakho emini kuthi ebusuku ngensika yomlilo.
Wɔaka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔte asase yi so a wɔnim, Awurade, sɛ wowɔ Israel afa, na wo ne wɔn kasa anim ne anim. Wɔhunu omununkum dum ne ogya sɛ ɛgyina yɛn atifi, na wɔnim sɛ wodi yɛn anim bɔ yɛn ho ban awia ne anadwo.
15 Pho ungababhubhisa abantu bonke laba ngasikhathi sinye, izizwe esezizwile ngalezizindaba ngawe zizakuthi,
Na sɛ wokum wo nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa a, aman a wɔate wo din no bɛka sɛ,
16 ‘UThixo wehlulekile ukungenisa abantu laba elizweni abathembisa lona ngesifungo; ngakho usebabhubhisele enkangala.’
‘ɛsɛ sɛ Awurade kum wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wantumi anhwɛ wɔn so wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ. Ɔnni ahoɔden a ɔnam so bɛtumi de wɔn aba asase a ɔkaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn no so.’
17 Amandla kaThixo kabonakaliswe khathesi, njengokutsho kwakho ukuthi:
“Ao, mesrɛ wo, fa wo tumi kɛseɛ a ntoboaseɛ wɔ mu no so fa yɛn bɔne kyɛ yɛn, na dɔ yɛn yie. Ɛwom sɛ woaka sɛ,
18 ‘UThixo uyaphuza ukuthukuthela, ugcwele ngothando njalo uyathethelela isono lokuhlamuka. Kodwa kayikubayekela abalecala bengajeziswanga; ujezisa abantwana ngenxa yezono zaboyise kuze kube kusizukulwane sesithathu lesesine.’
‘Awurade bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso. Nanso ɔbɔnefoɔ remfa ne ho nni a wɔntwe nʼaso; nanso, fa yɛn bɔne kyɛ yɛn. Yɛnim sɛ wonam agyanom bɔne so twee wɔn mma a wɔwɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ mmiɛnsa ne nan mu no aso.’
19 Thethelela isono salababantu, ngenxa yothando lwakho olukhulu, ubaxolele njengokubaxolela kwakho kusukela ngesikhathi abasuka ngaso eGibhithe kuze kube khathesi.”
Ao, mesrɛ wo, fa saa nnipa yi bɔne kyɛ wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wo dɔ enti, wode wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn firi Misraim abɛsi saa ɛberɛ yi.”
20 UThixo waphendula wathi, “Sengibathethelele njengesicelo sakho.
Awurade kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, mede bɛkyɛ wɔn sɛdeɛ woabisa no.
21 Impela njengoba ngiphila, lanjengoba inkazimulo kaThixo igcwalise umhlaba wonke,
Nanso, sɛ mete ase yi, na Awurade animuonyam ahyɛ asase nyinaa ma yi,
22 akulamuntu loyedwa owabona inkazimulo yami kanye lezibonakaliso zezimanga engazenza eGibhithe lasenkangala kodwa kaze angilalela njalo wangilinga okungaba ngamahlandla alitshumi,
saa nnipa yi mu biara rensi asase no so ɛda biara da. Wɔahunu mʼanimuonyam ne anwanwadeɛ a meyɛɛ wɔ Misraim ne ɛserɛ so no, nanso ɛberɛ biara wɔyɛ asoɔden de sɔ me hwɛ.
23 akukho loyedwa wabo ozalibona ilizwe engalithembisa okhokho babo ngesifungo. Futhi kakho loyedwa ongidelelayo ozalibona.
Wɔrenhunu asase a mede hyɛɛ wɔn agyanom bɔ no. Wɔn a wɔyɛɛ asoɔden kyerɛɛ me no mu biara rensi hɔ.
24 Kodwa ngenxa yokuthi inceku yami uKhalebi ulomoya owehlukileyo njalo ungilandela ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke, ngizamngenisa elizweni afika kulo, lizakuba yilifa lezizukulwane zakhe.
Nanso, mʼakoa Kaleb yɛ onipa sononko. Wadi me nsɛm so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Mede no bɛkɔ asase a ɔkɔɔ so sɛ ɔkwansrafoɔ no, na nʼasefoɔ anya ɛhɔ mu kyɛfa.
25 Njengoba ama-Amaleki lamaKhenani ehlala ezigodini, lina phendukani kusasa liqonde enkangala ngendlela yasoLwandle oLubomvu.”
Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ Israelfoɔ suro Amalekfoɔ na Kanaanfoɔ tete bɔnhwa mu no enti, ɔkyena, ɛsɛ sɛ mosane de mo ani kyerɛ Po Kɔkɔɔ no kɔ ɛserɛ so.”
26 UThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni:
Awurade bisaa Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
27 “Koze kube nini lababantu abangalunganga bekhonona bengisola na? Sengizwile ukusola lokukhonona kwabako-Israyeli.
“Da bɛn na saa nnipa bɔnefoɔ yi bɛgyae me ho nkɔmmɔdie? Na mate nsɛm a wɔka fa me ho nyinaa.
28 Ngakho batshele uthi, ‘Njengoba ngiphila impela, kutsho uThixo, ngizakwenza kini zona lezozinto engilizwe lizikhuluma.
Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Awurade ka ntam sɛ ɔbɛyɛ deɛ mosuro.
29 Izidumbu zenu zizagcwala enkangala yonale, lina lonke elabalwayo ngesikhathi sokubalwa kwabantu elileminyaka yokuzalwa engamatshumi amabili kusiya phezulu labo bonke abakade bekhonona bengisola.
Mo nyinaa mobɛwuwu wɔ ɛserɛ so ha: Ɛfiri wɔn a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu rekorɔ no a wɔadi me ho nkɔmmɔ no,
30 Kakho loyedwa wenu ozangena elizweni engafunga ngokuphakamisa isandla ukuthi libe likhaya lenu, ngaphandle kukaKhalebi indodana kaJefune loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
wɔn mu biara renkɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Wɔn a wɔbɛkɔ hɔ ara ne Yefune babarima Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua.
31 Mayelana labantwana benu labo elathi bazakuba yimpango, ngizabangenisa elizweni lelo elilalileyo ukuze bathokoze kulo.
Moka sɛ mo mma bɛyɛ nnipa a wɔte asase no so no nkoa. Ɛyɛ, mede wɔn bɛkɔ asase no so dwoodwoo ama wɔakɔfa deɛ mose mompɛ no.
32 Kodwa lina, izidumbu zenu zizawohlokela kule inkangala.
Na mo deɛ, mo amu na ɛbɛka ɛserɛ so ha.
33 Abantwabenu bazakuba ngabelusi lapha okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, behlupheka ngenxa yokungathembeki kwenu, kuze kungcwatshwe isidumbu sokucina enkangala.
Ɛsɛ sɛ mokyini ɛserɛ so ha sɛ atutenafoɔ mfeɛ aduanan. Saa ɛkwan yi so na mobɛfa atua mo gyidie a monni ho ka kɔsi sɛ onipa a ɔtwa toɔ no bɛwu atɔ ɛserɛ so ha.
34 Okweminyaka engamatshumi amane, umnyaka munye umele usuku lunye elahlola ngalo ilizwe, lizahlupheka ngenxa yezono zenu lize lazi ukuthi kuyinto enjani nxa mina ngimelana lani.’
Esiane sɛ akwansrafoɔ no tenaa asase no so adaduanan no enti, ɛsɛ sɛ mo nso mokyinkyini ɛserɛ no so mfeɛ aduanan a afe biara gyina hɔ ma ɛda koro a ɛyɛ mo bɔne so akatua. Sɛ meyɛ obi ɔtamfoɔ a mobɛhunu sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ.’
35 Mina Thixo, sengikhulumile, njalo ngempela ngizazenza lezizinto ebantwini laba bonke, abamanyeneyo bemelana lami. Bazabhubha kuyonale inkangala; bazafela khonapha.”
Me, Awurade, na makasa. Mo mu biara a wayɛ dɔm atia me no bɛwu wɔ ɛserɛ so ha.”
36 Ngakho amadoda ayethunywe nguMosi ukuthi ayehlola ilizwe, lawo athi ekuphendukeni kwawo amemethekisa umbiko omubi owabangela ukuthi abantu bakhonone besola uMosi,
Akwansrafoɔ edu no a wɔbɔɔ nnipa no hu ma wɔyɛɛ dɔm tiaa Awurade no,
37 lawomadoda amemethekisa umbiko ongalunganga mayelana lelizwe atshaywa ngomkhuhlane afa phambi kukaThixo.
wɔkunkumm wɔn wɔ Awurade anim.
38 Emadodeni ayeyehlola ilizwe, kwasila kuphela uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni kanye loKhalebi indodana kaJefune.
Akwansrafoɔ no nyinaa, Kaleb ne Yosua nko ara na wɔtenaa ase.
39 Kwathi lapho uMosi esebikele bonke abako-Israyeli, bakhala kabuhlungu.
Mose kɔkaa nsɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ nnipa no no, wɔn nyinaa werɛ hoeɛ.
40 Ngosuku olulandelayo ekuseni kakhulu baqonda elizweni lamaqaqa. Bathi, “Sonile, sizakuya kuleyondawo esayithenjiswa nguThixo.”
Wɔsɔree anɔpahema sɛ wɔrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛahunu sɛ yɛayɛ bɔne, nanso, yɛasiesie yɛn ho sɛ yɛbɛkɔ asase a Awurade hyɛɛ yɛn ho bɔ no so.”
41 Kodwa uMosi wathi kubo, “Kungani lingalaleli umlayo kaThixo na? Lokhu elikwenzayo akusoze kuphumelele!
Nanso, Mose kaa sɛ, “Aka akyi. Afei, morebu Awurade asɛm a ɔkaa sɛ monsane nkɔ ɛserɛ so no so.
42 Lingakhuphuki, ngoba uThixo kalisekeli. Lizakwehlulwa yizitha zenu,
Monnkɔ sɛdeɛ moasusu no, anyɛ saa a, atamfoɔ no bɛdi mo so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade nni mo afa.
43 ngoba lizaqondana lama-Amaleki kanye lamaKhenani khonale. Ngenxa yokuthi limhlamukele uThixo, yena kayikuba lani ngakho lizabhujiswa ngenkemba.”
Mo werɛ afiri sɛ Amalekfoɔ ne Kanaanfoɔ wɔ hɔ? Moapa Awurade enti ɔno nso bɛpa mo.”
44 Loba kunjalo, baqhubeka beqonde elizweni lamaqaqa benganakile, loba uMosi kumbe umtshokotsho wesivumelwano sikaThixo kungasukanga ezihonqweni.
Nanso, wɔtoaa so foro kɔɔ bepɔ no so a ɛmfa wɔn ho sɛ Awurade adaka no ne Mose mu biara amfiri atenaeɛ hɔ.
45 Ngakho ama-Amaleki lamaKhenani ayehlala kulelolizwe lamaqaqa ehla abahlasela, ababhuqa ebaxotsha baze bayafika eHoma.
Afei, Amalekfoɔ ne Kanaanfoɔ a wɔte bepɔ no so no siane baa fam bɛto hyɛɛ wɔn so boroo wɔn ara kɔsii Horma.
