< UDutheronomi 2 >
1 Sasesiphenduka, sasuka saya enkangala, indlela yoLwandle oluBomvu, njengokutsho kweNkosi kimi; njalo sayibhoda intaba yeSeyiri insuku ezinengi.
Afei, yɛsan yɛn akyi de yɛn ani kyerɛɛ sare so wɔ baabi a Po Kɔkɔɔ no da hɔ sɛnea Awurade kyerɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no. Yɛnantenantew faa Seir bepɔw man no ho nna bebree.
2 INkosi yasikhuluma kimi isithi:
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se,
3 Selibhode intaba le okweneleyo; phendukelani lina enyakatho.
“Moatwa afa saa ɔman a ɛda bepɔw yi so no ho mmere sann, enti monnan mo ani nkyerɛ atifi fam.
4 Balaye-ke abantu usithi: Lidabula umngcele wabafowenu, abantwana bakaEsawu abahlala eSeyiri. Njalo bazalesaba, ngakho lizinanzelele kakhulu,
Hyɛ ɔman no se, ‘Morebɛfa mo nuanom Edomfo, a wɔyɛ Esau asefo a wɔte Seir no asase so. Edomfo no besuro mo, nanso monhwɛ yiye.
5 lingalwi labo; ngoba kangiyikulinika okwelizwe labo, lelingangokunyathela kwangaphansi konyawo, ngoba ngimnikile uEsawu intaba yeSeyiri ibe yilifa.
Monnhyɛ wɔn abufuw a ɛde ɔko bɛba na meremfa wɔn nsase no mu biara mma mo; mpo, baabi a mode mo anan besisi, efisɛ mede Seir bepɔw kurow ama Esau sɛ nʼatenae.
6 Lizathenga ukudla kubo ngemali ukuze lidle, lithenge kubo lamanzi ngemali ukuze linathe.
Aduan biara a mubedi ne nsu biara a mobɛnom no, momfa dwetɛ ntua wɔn ho ka.’”
7 Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ikubusisile emsebenzini wonke wesandla sakho; iyazi ukuhamba kwakho kulinkangala enkulu. Le iminyaka engamatshumi amane iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ibilawe, kawuswelanga lutho.
Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyira mo nsa ano nnwuma nyinaa. Wahwɛ mo so wɔ mo akwantu wɔ sare kakraa yi nyinaa so. Saa mfe aduanan yi nyinaa mu no, Awurade aka mo ho na hwee ho anhia mo.
8 Uba sisedlula sisuka kubafowethu, abantwana bakaEsawu abahlala eSeyiri, ngendlela yegceke sisuke eElathi njalo sisuka eEziyoni-Geberi, saphenduka, sadlula ngendlela yenkangala yakoMowabi.
Yetwa faa yɛn nuanom a wɔyɛ Esau asefo a wɔte Seir ho no. Yɛfaa Araba subon kwan no a efi Elat ne Esion-Geber no so na yɛbɛfaa Moab sare so kwan no so.
9 INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ungahlukuluzi uMowabi, ungalwi labo empini; ngoba kangiyikukunika okwelizwe labo kube yilifa, ngoba ngibanikile abantwana bakaLothi iAri ibe yilifa.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Monnhaw Moabfo no anaa monhyɛ wɔn abufuw a ɛde ɔko bɛba, na meremfa wɔn nsase no mu biara mma mo. Efisɛ mede Ar ama Lot asefo sɛ agyapade.”
10 Kwakuhlala khona endulo amaEmi, abantu abakhulu, labanengi, labade, njengamaAnaki;
Kan no na Emifo na wɔte hɔ. Na wɔsoso na wɔdɔɔso a wɔwoware te sɛ Anakfo no.
11 babebalwa njengeziqhwaga labo njengamaAnaki, kodwa amaMowabi ababiza ngokuthi ngamaEmi.
Wɔn nso, na wɔyɛ abran sɛ Anakfo no ara pɛ, a na wɔfrɛ wɔn Refaitefo, nanso Moabfo de, na wɔfrɛ wɔn Emifo.
12 LamaHori ayehlala eSeyiri endulo, kodwa abantwana bakaEsawu bawakhupha emfuyweni yabo, bawachitha phambi kwabo, bahlala endaweni yawo, njengokwenza kukaIsrayeli elizweni lelifa lakhe, iNkosi eyabanika lona.
Kan no na Horifo na wɔte Seir, nanso Esau asefo no tuu wɔn fii hɔ. Wɔsɛee Horifo no tenaa wɔn anan mu sɛnea Israel yɛɛ wɔ asase a Awurade de maa wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapade no so no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
13 Khathesi, sukumani lina lichaphe isifula iZeredi. Ngakho sachapha isifula iZeredi.
Na Awurade kae se, “Afei, sɔre na kotwa Sered bon no.” Enti yekotwaa obon no.
14 Lensuku esahamba ngazo sisuka eKadeshi-Bhaneya saze sachapha isifula iZeredi zaziyiminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lesificaminwembili, kwaze kwaphela isizukulwana sonke samadoda empi sisuka phakathi kwenkamba, njengokufunga kweNkosi kuwo.
Na nna dodow a yɛde nantew fi Kades-Barnea besii sɛ yetwaa Sered bon no yɛ mfirihyia aduasa awotwe. Saa bere no, na mmarima a wɔanyinyin yiye a wobetumi akɔ ɔko no nyinaa awuwu wɔ sare no so sɛnea Awurade kaa ho ntam no.
15 Ngoba isibili isandla seNkosi sasimelene lawo, ukuwachitha esuka phakathi kwenkamba, aze aphela.
Na Awurade nsa tiaa wɔn ara kosi sɛ wɔn nyinaa wuwuu wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ.
16 Kwasekusithi lapho wonke amadoda empi esephelile esifa esuka phakathi kwabantu,
Saa nnipa yi mu akofo a otwa to wuu no pɛ,
17 INkosi yasikhuluma kimi isithi:
na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se,
18 Lamuhla uzakwedlula iAri, umngcele wakoMowabi,
“Nnɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wofa Ar wɔ Moab mantam mu.
19 lapho ususondele maqondana labantwana bakoAmoni, ungabahlukuluzi, ungalwi labo, ngoba kangiyikukunika okwelizwe labantwana bakoAmoni kube yilifa, ngoba ngilinike abantwana bakaLothi libe yilifa.
Na sɛ wudu Amonfo mu a, nhaw wɔn anaa nhyɛ wɔn abufuw a ɛde ɔko bɛba, efisɛ meremma mo Amorifo nsase no bi. Mede ama Lot asefo sɛ agyapade.”
20 Lalelo labalwa njengelizwe leziqhwaga. Iziqhwaga zahlala kulo endulo, kodwa amaAmoni bazibiza ngokuthi ngamaZamuzumu;
Saa beae hɔ na abran akɛse a na Amonfo frɛ wɔn Samsumifo no te kan no.
21 abantu abakhulu, labanengi, labade, njengamaAnaki; kodwa iNkosi yabachitha phambi kwabo, babakhupha emfuyweni yabo, bahlala endaweni yabo,
Na wɔyɛ nnipa ahoɔdenfo a wɔdɔɔso na wɔwoware te sɛ Anakfo no. Na Awurade sɛee Samsumifo no wɔ Amonfo anim ma wɔpam wɔn tenaa wɔn anan mu.
22 njengalokho eyakwenzela abantwana bakaEsawu, ababehlala eSeyiri, lapho yawachitha amaHori esuka phambi kwabo, bawakhupha emfuyweni yabo, bahlala endaweni yawo kuze kube lamuhla.
Saa ara na Awurade sɛee Horifo wɔ Esau asefo a na wɔte Seir no anim ma wɔpam wɔn, tenaa wɔn anan mu de besi nnɛ yi.
23 LamaAvi, ayehlala eHazerimi kuze kube seGaza; amaKafitori, aphuma eKafitori, awachitha, ahlala endaweni yawo.
Na Awifo a wɔtenaa nkuraa nkuraa trɛw koduu Gasa no nso, Kaftorfo a wofi Kaftor bɛsɛee wɔn, tenaa wɔn anan mu.
24 Sukumani, lisuke lichaphe isifula iArinoni. Bona, nginikele esandleni sakho uSihoni, inkosi yeHeshiboni, umAmori, lelizwe lakhe; qala ukudla ilifa lalo, ulwe laye empini.
“Sɔre kotwa Arnon Subon. Mede Hesbonhene Sihon a ɔyɛ Amorini no ne man ahyɛ wo nsa. Kɔtow hyɛ ne so, na monko, na fa.
25 Lamuhla ngizaqalisa ukufaka uvalo ngawe lokwesabeka kwakho phezu kobuso bezizwe, ngaphansi kwamazulu wonke, ezizakuzwa umbiko ngawe, zithuthumele, ziqhaqhazele ngenxa yakho.
Efi nnɛ yi ara, mede mo ho suro ne hu bɛhyɛ aman a wɔwɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa mu. Wɔbɛte mo ho nsɛm na wɔn ho bɛpopo na mo nti, wɔanya adwenemhaw esiane mo nti.”
26 Ngasengithuma izithunywa zisuka enkangala yeKedemothi kuSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni, zilamazwi okuthula, zisithi:
Mituu abɔfo fii Kedemot sare so kɔɔ Hesbonhene Sihon nkyɛn asomdwoe so kɔka kyerɛɛ no se,
27 Ake ngidabule elizweni lakho; ngizahamba ngomgwaqo kuphela, ngingaphambukeli ngakwesokunene loba ngakwesokhohlo.
“Ma yentwa mu mfa wo man mu ha. Yɛbɛfa ɔtempɔn no so tee; yɛremman mfa benkum anaa nifa.
28 Uzangithengisela ukudla ngemali ukuze ngidle, ungiphe amanzi ngemali ukuze nginathe; kuphela ngizadabula ngenyawo zami,
Tɔn aduan ma yenni na tɔn nsu nso ma yɛnnom. Nea yɛrehwehwɛ ara ne ɔkwan a wobɛma yɛn ama yɛanantew atwa mu,
29 njengalokhu abantwana bakaEsawu abahlala eSeyiri lamaMowabi ahlala eAri benza kimi, ngize ngichaphe iJordani, ngingene elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu esinika lona.
sɛnea Esau asefo a na wɔte Seir ne Moabfo a na wɔte Ar yɛɛ yɛn no akosi sɛ yebetwa Yordan akɔ asase a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, de rema yɛn no so.”
30 Kodwa uSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni kasivumelanga ukuthi sidlule kuye; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yenza umoya wakhe waba lukhuni, yenza lenhliziyo yakhe yaba lenkani, ukuze imnikele esandleni sakho, njengalamuhla.
Nanso Hesbonhene Sihon amma yɛantwa mu wɔ hɔ. Efisɛ na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ayɛ ne honhom sisirii, apirim ne koma sɛnea ɔnam so de no bɛhyɛ mo nsam, sɛnea wayɛ no nnɛ yi.
31 INkosi yathi kimi: Bona, sengiqalisile ukunikela phambi kwakho uSihoni lelizwe lakhe; qalisa ukudla ilifa, ukuze udle ilifa lelizwe lakhe.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Hwɛ, mafi ase de Sihon ne ne man ahyɛ wo nsam. Afei, fi ase na di wɔn so, na fa nʼasase no.”
32 Kwasekuphuma uSihoni ukumelana lathi, yena labantu bakhe bonke, ukulwa eJahazi.
Bere a Sihon ne ne dɔm behyiaa yɛn sɛ wɔne yɛn rebɛko wɔ Yahas no,
33 INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yasimnikela phambi kwethu; sasesimtshaya lamadodana akhe labantu bakhe bonke.
Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, yii no maa yɛn ma yɛbobɔɔ ɔno, ne mmabarima ne nʼasraafo nyinaa hwehwee.
34 Ngalesosikhathi sasesithumba yonke imizi yakhe, satshabalalisa wonke umuzi, abesilisa labesifazana labantwanyana; kasitshiyanga insali;
Na yɛfaa ne nkurow nyinaa saa bere no sɛee ne mmarima, mmea ne mmofra a yɛannyaw obiara.
35 sazithumbela izifuyo kuphela, lempango yemizi esayithumbayo.
Mmom, nyɛmmoa ne asade ahorow a ɛwɔ nkurow a yedii so no mu no de, yɛsoa kɔe.
36 Kusukela eAroweri esekhunjini lwesifula iArinoni, lomuzi osesifuleni, kuze kube seGileyadi kwakungekho muzi owawuphakeme kakhulu kithi. INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yayinikela yonke phambi kwethu.
Efi Aroer a ɛda Arnon Subon ano ne kurow a ɛda subon no mu no, ne mpo, de kosi Gilead no, kurow biara nni hɔ a na ɛsodi yɛ den ma yɛn; Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn de ne nyinaa hyɛɛ yɛn nsa.
37 Kuphela kawusondelanga elizweni labantwana bakoAmoni, endaweni yonke yesifula iJaboki, lemizini esezintabeni, lakukuphi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu esenqabela khona.
Nanso, yɛankɔ Amorifo asase ne asase a ɛda Asubɔnten Yabok ho ne mmepɔw no so nkurow no baabiara a Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnnkɔ so no so.
