UDutheronomi 1
1 La ngamazwi uMozisi awakhuluma kuIsrayeli wonke nganeno kweJordani enkangala, egcekeni eliqondene leSufi, phakathi kweParani leTofeli leLabani leHazerothi leDizahabi.
Eyi ne nsɛm a Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo nyinaa wɔ sare no so wɔ Yordan apuei. Wɔbɔɔ atenae wɔ Yordan bon a ɛbɛn Suf, wɔ Paran, Tofel, Laban, Haserot ne Di-Sahab ntam no.
2 Kulensuku ezilitshumi lanye kusukela eHorebe ngendlela yentaba yeSeyiri kusiya eKadeshi-Bhaneya.
Efi Horeb de kɔ Kades-Barnea no, ɔkwan a ɛfa bepɔw Seir no, yɛ nnafua dubaako kwan.
3 Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amane, ngenyanga yetshumi lanye, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, uMozisi wakhuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli njengakho konke iNkosi eyamlaya ngakho kubo,
Israelfo fii Bepɔw Sinai no, afe a ɛto so aduanan no ɔsram dubaako no da a edi kan no, Mose kaa nsɛm a Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfo no pɛpɛɛpɛ kyerɛɛ wɔn.
4 esemtshayile uSihoni inkosi yamaAmori owayehlala eHeshiboni, loOgi inkosi yeBashani owayehlala eAshitarothi eEdreyi.
Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi wɔ bere a na wɔadi Amorifo hene Sihon a na odi ade wɔ Hesbon ne Basanhene Og a na odi ade wɔ Astarot ne Edrei so nkonim.
5 Nganeno kweJordani, elizweni lakoMowabi, uMozisi waqala ukuchasisa lumlayo esithi:
Yordan apuei fam a ɛwɔ Moab asase so na Mose fii ase kyerɛkyerɛɛ mmara no mu se:
6 INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yakhuluma kithi eHorebe isithi: Selihlale isikhathi eseneleyo kulintaba.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ yɛn wɔ Horeb se: “Moatena saa bepɔw yi so akyɛ dodo.
7 Phendukani lisuke, liye entabeni yamaAmori, lendaweni ezakhelene lawo, egcekeni, entabeni, lesihotsheni, leningizimu, lekhunjini lolwandle, ilizwe lamaKhanani, leLebhanoni, kuze kube semfuleni omkhulu, umfula iYufrathi.
Muntutu nkɔtena Amorifo nkoko no so; monkɔtena nnipa a wɔbemmɛn Araba mmepɔw no mu ne atɔe mmepɔw ayaase hɔ nyinaa mu; monkɔ Negeb na momfa mpoano nkosi Kanaanfo asase so ne Lebanon nkodu Asubɔnten Eufrate ho.
8 Bonani, ngibeke ilizwe phambi kwenu. Ngenani, lidle ilifa lelizwe iNkosi eyalifungela oyihlo, oAbrahama, uIsaka, loJakobe, ukubanika lona lenzalo yabo emva kwabo.
Muntie! Mede saa asase yi ama mo. Monkɔ na monkɔfa asase a Awurade hyɛɛ bɔ sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ne wɔn asefo no.”
9 Njalo ngakhuluma kini ngalesosikhathi ngisithi: Kangilakulithwala ngingedwa.
Saa bere no, meka kyerɛɛ mo se, “Me nko ara merentumi nyɛ mo ho adwuma.
10 INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ilandisile, khangelani-ke, lamuhla linjengenkanyezi zamazulu ngobunengi.
Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ama mo ase adɔ enti nnɛ yi, mo ase afɛe te sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma.
11 INkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, kayandise kini, njengoba linjalo, ngokuphindwe kankulungwane, ilibusise, njengokukhuluma kwayo kini.
Awurade mo agyanom Nyankopɔn mma mo nnɔ mmɔho mpempem na onhyira mo sɛnea wahyɛ mo bɔ no!
12 Ngingedwa ngingathwala njani ubunzima benu lomthwalo wenu lenkani yenu?
Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na me nko metumi asoa mo haw ne mo nnesoa ne mo ntawntaw?
13 Zithatheleni amadoda ahlakaniphileyo, azwisisayo, laziwayo ezizweni zenu, ngiwabeke-ke abe zinhloko zenu.
Mompaw mmarima bi a wɔwɔ nyansa, ntease na wɔwɔ din pa mfi abusuakuw biara mu na memfa wɔn ntuatua mo ano.”
14 Laselingiphendula lisithi: Ilizwi olikhulumileyo lilungile ukulenza.
Mubuaa me se, “Dwuma a woasusuw sɛ wubedi no ye.”
15 Ngasengithatha inhloko zezizwe zenu, amadoda ahlakaniphileyo, aziwayo, ngawabeka aba zinhloko phezu kwenu, induna zezinkulungwane, lenduna zamakhulu, lenduna zamatshumi amahlanu, lenduna zamatshumi, leziphathamandla zezizwe zenu.
Enti mede mo mmusuakuw mu mmarima atitiriw, anyansafo a wɔn anim wɔ nyam no tuatuaa mo ano apem apem, ɔha ɔha, aduonum aduonum ne du du so mpanyin ne mo mmusuakuw so sɛ ahwɛfo.
16 Ngasengilaya abahluleli benu ngalesosikhathi ngisithi: Zwanini okuphakathi kwabafowenu, lahlulele ngokulunga phakathi komuntu lomfowabo lowezizweni okuye.
Na atemmufo a wɔwɔ hɔ saa bere no nso, mehyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Sɛ akasakasa ba anuanom ntam, sɛ asɛm no yɛ Israelni ne ne nua bi anaa Israelni ne ɔhɔho bi a, monhwɛ na mummu atɛntrenee.
17 Lingakhangeli ubuso ekwahluleleni, zwanini omncinyane njengomkhulu; lingesabi ubuso bomuntu, ngoba ukwahlulela kungokukaNkulunkulu. Lendaba elukhuni kini lizayiletha kimi, besengiyizwa.
Mo atemmu mu, mummmu ntɛnkyew. Muntie ɔketewa ne ɔkɛse pɛ. Munnsuro onipa biara, efisɛ Onyankopɔn na obu atɛn. Asɛm a ɛyɛ den ma mo no, momfa mmrɛ me na minni.”
18 Langalesosikhathi ngalilaya zonke izinto elifanele ukuzenza.
Na saa bere no, mekaa biribiara a ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ kyerɛɛ mo.
19 Sasesisuka eHorebe, sahamba kuyo yonke leyonkangala enkulu leyesabekayo elayibonayo ngendlela yentaba yamaAmori, njengokusilaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, saze safika eKadeshi-Bhaneya.
Na sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ yɛn no, yefii Horeb de yɛn ani kyerɛɛ Amorifo bepɔw a yɛnam sare pradada a moahu no so koduu Kades-Barnea.
20 Ngasengisithi kini: Selifikile entabeni yamaAmori iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezasinika yona.
Afei, meka kyerɛɛ mo se, “Moadu Amorifo bepɔw man a Awurade de rema yɛn no so.
21 Bona, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ilinikile ilizwe phambi kwakho; yenyuka udle ilifa lalo, njengokutsho kweNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo kuwe; ungesabi, ungadideki.
Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de asase no ama mo. Momforo nkɔfa, sɛnea Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, ka kyerɛɛ mo no. Munnsuro: mommma obi mmu mo aba mu.”
22 Laselisondela kimi lonke lathi: Asithume amadoda phambi kwethu ukuze asihlolele ilizwe, abuyise ilizwi kithi, indlela esizakwenyuka ngayo, lemizi esizangena kuyo.
Na mo nyinaa baa me nkyɛn bɛkae se, “Momma yɛnsoma mmarima nni yɛn anim na wɔnkɔsra asase no so mma yɛn na wɔmmɛka nea wobehu nkyerɛ yɛn na ɛno na ɛbɛkyerɛ yɛn kwan ne nkurow ko a yɛbɛfa so.”
23 Lendaba yayinhle emehlweni ami; ngakho ngathatha kini amadoda alitshumi lambili, indodanye ngesizwe.
Na saa nsusuwii yi ye ma me nti mepaw akwansrafo dumien a mo mmusuakuw dumien no mu nnipa biara wɔ mu.
24 Wona aphenduka, enyukela entabeni aze afika esihotsheni seEshikoli, asihlola.
Wɔforoo bepɔw no na wokoduu Eskol subon mu sraa hɔ.
25 Asethatha okwezithelo zelizwe esandleni sabo, azehlisela kithi; abuyisa ilizwi kithi athi: Ilizwe lihle iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu esinika lona.
Na wɔfaa asase no so aba bi de brɛɛ yɛn. Na wɔkae se, asase a Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn de ama yɛn no yɛ asase pa.
26 Kanti kalifunanga ukwenyuka, kodwa lavukela umlomo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu,
Nanso na mompɛ sɛ moforo kɔ soro. Motew Awurade asɛm so atua.
27 langunguna emathenteni enu lathi: Ngoba iNkosi yayisizonda, yasikhupha elizweni leGibhithe ukusinikela esandleni samaAmori ukusibhubhisa.
Munwiinwii wɔ mo ntamadan mu kae se, “Awurade tan yɛn nti na ɔde yɛn fi Misraim de yɛn abɛhyɛ Amorifo nsam sɛ wonkunkum yɛn no.
28 Sizakwenyukela ngaphi? Abafowethu benze inhliziyo yethu iphele amandla besithi: Abantu bakhulu bade kulathi; imizi mikhulu, ibiyelwe ngemithangala efika emazulwini; futhi-ke sibonile khona amadodana amaAnaki.
Yɛrekɔ he? Yɛn akwansrafo no amanneɛbɔ no abu yɛn aba mu. ‘Wɔka se nnipa yɛ atenten ahoɔdenfo sen yɛn. Wɔn nkurow yɛ akɛse a afasu a wɔatoto afa ho no kɔ sorosoro. Na mpo, yehuu Anakfo wɔ hɔ!’”
29 Ngasengisithi kini: Lingatshaywa luvalo, libesabe.
Na meka kyerɛɛ mo se, “Mommɔ hu, munnsuro wɔn.
30 INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ehamba phambi kwenu, yona izalilwela njengakho konke eyalenzela khona eGibhithe phambi kwamehlo enu,
Awurade di mo anim. Ɔbɛko ama mo sɛnea muhuu no sɛ ɔyɛɛ wɔ Misraim no.
31 lenkangala, lapho obone khona ukuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yakuthwala njengendoda ithwala indodana yayo, endleleni yonke elahamba ngayo laze lafika kulindawo.
Na muhuu nso sɛnea Awurade kɔɔ so hwɛɛ mo ntoatoaso wɔ sare so ha sɛnea agya hwɛ ne ba no. Moatwa kwan no nyinaa de abedu beae ha.”
32 Kodwa ngalelilizwi kalikholwanga iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu
Nanso eyi nyinaa akyi no, moannya Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, mu awerehyɛmu.
33 eyahamba phambi kwenu endleleni, ukulidingela indawo ukuze limise inkamba, ngomlilo ebusuku, ukulitshengisa indlela elizahamba ngayo, langeyezi emini.
Ɔno na odii mo akwantu no anim, pɛɛ beae pa maa mo tenae, de ogya dum kyerɛɛ mo kwan anadwo de omununkum dum kyerɛɛ mo kwan awia.
34 Kwathi iNkosi isizwile ilizwi lamazwi enu, yathukuthela yafunga yathi:
Awurade tee sɛ morenwiinwii no, ne bo fuw yiye na ɔkaa ntam se,
35 Isibili kakho kulamadoda alesisizukulwana esibi ozabona ilizwe elihle engafunga ukulinika oyihlo,
“Saa awo ntoatoaso bɔne yi mu onipa baako koraa nni hɔ a obehu asase pa a, maka ho ntam sɛ mede bɛma mo agyanom no,
36 ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune; yena uzalibona. Njalo ngizanika kuye ilizwe anyathela kulo, lakubantwana bakhe, ngoba ulandele iNkosi ngokupheleleyo.
gye Yefune babarima Kaleb. Ɔno na obehu saa asase yi. Mede asase a ne nan sii so no bɛma ɔne nʼasefo, efisɛ ɔde ne koma nyinaa dii Awurade akyi.”
37 Lami iNkosi yangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, isithi: Lawe kawuyikungena khona.
Me nso, esiane mo nti, Awurade bo fuw me. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Wo nan rensi Bɔhyɛ Asase no so da.
38 UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni oma phambi kwakho, yena uzangena khona; mqinise, ngoba yena uzakwenza uIsrayeli adle ilifa lalo.
Na mmom, wo boafo Nun babarima Yosua na obedi ɔmanfo no anim akɔ asase no so. Hyɛ no nkuran, efisɛ obedi Israelfo no anim akɔfa asase no.
39 Labantwanyana benu elalisithi bazakuba yimpango, labantwana benu, abangaziyo lamuhla okuhle lokubi, bona bazangena khona; lakubo ngizalinika, bona-ke bazakudla ilifa lalo.
Mede asase no bɛma wo mma a wonnim biribiara. Wo mma a wonnim papa nnim bɔne no a na wusuro sɛ wɔbɛkyere wɔn nnommum no na mede asase no bɛma wɔn. Wɔn na wɔbɛtena asase no so.
40 Kodwa lina ziphendukeleni, lisuke liye enkangala, indlela yoLwandle oluBomvu.
Na wo de, dan wʼani kɔ sare so a ɛkeka kɔ Po Kɔkɔɔ no so hɔ.”
41 Laseliphendula lisithi kimi: Sonile eNkosini; thina sizakwenyuka siyekulwa, njengakho konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu eyasilaya khona. Selihlomile, ngulowo lalowo isikhali sakhe sempi, lacabanga ukuthi kulula ukwenyukela entabeni.
Ɛno na mugye too mu se “Yɛayɛ bɔne atia Awurade. Yɛbɛkɔ asase no so akɔko sɛnea Awurade aka akyerɛ yɛn no.” Enti mo mu biara faa nʼakode hyehyɛe. Na mususuwii sɛ ɔman a ɛda bepɔw so no sokɔ yɛ mmerɛw.
42 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Tshono kubo: Lingenyuki, lingalwi, ngoba kangikho phakathi kwenu, hlezi litshaywe phambi kwezitha zenu.
Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Monnkɔ hɔ nkɔko, efisɛ merenka mo ho nkɔ. Mo atamfo no bedi mo so.’”
43 Ngasengikhuluma kini, kodwa kalilalelanga, lavukela umlomo weNkosi, laqholoza lenyukela entabeni.
Meka kyerɛɛ mo, nanso moantie. Mosɔre tiaa Awurade ahyɛde no na monam ahomaso so foro kɔɔ asase no so kɔkoe.
44 Kwathi amaAmori ayehlala entabeni leyo aphuma ukumelana lani, alixotsha njengokwenziwa zinyosi, alihlakaza eSeyiri, kwaze kwaba seHorma.
Amorifo a wɔte bepɔw no so nso sɔre baa mo so; wɔtaa mo sɛ nnowa, boroo mo fi Seir koduu Horma.
45 Laselibuya, lakhala inyembezi phambi kweNkosi, kodwa iNkosi kayilizwanga ilizwi lenu, kayibekanga indlebe kini.
Afei, mosan ba besuu wɔ Awurade anim, nanso osiw nʼaso a wantie mo su no.
46 Laselihlala eKadeshi insuku ezinengi, njengensuku elahlala ngazo.
Ɛno nti, motenaa Kades nna bebree.
