UJoshuwa 10
1 Kwasekusithi lapho uAdonizedeki inkosi yeJerusalema esezwile ukuthi uJoshuwa uyithumbile iAyi, wayitshabalalisa, njengalokho akwenza eJeriko lenkosini yayo, wenze njalo eAyi lenkosini yayo, lokuthi abahlali beGibeyoni benza ukuthula loIsrayeli, babephakathi kwabo,
Yerusalemhene Adoni-Sedek tee sɛ Yosua afa Ai na wasɛe no pasaa, akum ɛhɔ ɔhene, sɛdeɛ wasɛe Yeriko kuropɔn akum ɛhɔ ɔhene no. Ɔtee nso sɛ Gibeonfoɔ ne Israelfoɔ ayɛ asomdwoeɛ apam, na wɔayɛ baako.
2 besaba kakhulu, ngoba iGibeyoni yayingumuzi omkhulu njengomunye wemizi yenkosi, langoba yayinkulu kuleAyi, lamadoda ayo wonke engamaqhawe.
Ɛno enti, ɔne ne nkurɔfoɔ bo tuu yie, ɛfiri sɛ, Gibeon yɛ kuropɔn kɛseɛ te sɛ ahemman no nkuropɔn no bi a ɛso sene Ai. Na Gibeon mmarima no nyinaa nso yɛ akofoɔ a wɔyɛ dene.
3 Ngakho uAdonizedeki inkosi yeJerusalema yathumela kuHohamu inkosi yeHebroni, lakuPiramu inkosi yeJarimuthi, lakuJafiya inkosi yeLakishi, lakuDebiri inkosi yeEgiloni, esithi:
Enti, Yerusalemhene Adoni-Sedek soma ma wɔkɔɔ ahemfo afoforɔ bebree nkyɛn: Hebronhene Hoham ne Yarmuthene Piram ne Lakishene Yafia ne Eglonhene Debir kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,
4 Yenyukelani kimi lingisize, ukuze siyitshaye iGibeyoni; ngoba yenzile ukuthula loJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
“Mommra mmɛboa me na yɛnsɛe Gibeon, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔne Yosua ne Israelfoɔ ayɛ asomdwoeɛ apam.”
5 Ngakho amakhosi amahlanu amaAmori, inkosi yeJerusalema, inkosi yeHebroni, inkosi yeJarimuthi, inkosi yeLakishi, inkosi yeEgiloni, ahlangana enyuka, wona lamabutho awo wonke, amisa inkamba maqondana leGibeyoni, alwa layo.
Enti, Amorifoɔ ahemfo baanum no de wɔn akodɔm bɔɔ mu maa ɔko. Wɔde wɔn akodɔm no gyinagyinaeɛ, na afei wɔto hyɛɛ Gibeon so.
6 Amadoda eGibeyoni asethumela kuJoshuwa enkambeni yeGiligali esithi: Isandla sakho singatshiyi izinceku zakho; yenyukela kithi masinyane usisindise usisize, ngoba amakhosi wonke amaAmori ahlala ezintabeni asesihlanganyele.
Na Gibeonfoɔ no soma kɔɔ Yosua nkyɛn wɔ Gilgal. Wɔkɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Nnyaa wʼasomfoɔ. Bra yɛn nkyɛn ntɛm bɛgye yɛn nkwa! Bɛboa yɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, Amorifoɔ ahemfo a wɔte mmepɔ so de wɔn akodɔm rebɛko atia yɛn.”
7 Ngakho uJoshuwa wenyuka esuka eGiligali, yena labo bonke abantu bempi kanye laye, lawo wonke amaqhawe alamandla.
Enti, Yosua ne Israel akodɔm nyinaa firii Gilgal sɛ wɔrekoboa Gibeonfoɔ.
8 INkosi yasisithi kuJoshuwa: Ungabesabi, ngoba ngibanikele esandleni sakho; kakulamuntu wabo ozakuma phambi kwakho.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Nnsuro wɔn; mɛma woadi wɔn so nkonim. Wɔn mu biara rentumi ne wo nnyina.”
9 UJoshuwa wasebajuma, enyuke ubusuku bonke esuka eGiligali.
Yosua nantee anadwo mu no nyinaa firii Gilgal kɔfuu Amorifoɔ akodɔm no mu.
10 INkosi yabasanganisa phambi kukaIsrayeli, yabatshaya ngokutshaya okukhulu eGibeyoni, yaxotshana labo endleleni enyukela eBhethi-Horoni, yabatshaya kwaze kwaba seAseka kwaze kwaba seMakeda.
Awurade ma wɔbɔɔ hu wɔ Israelfoɔ no anim, na wɔkunkumm wɔn mu bebree wɔ Gibeon. Israelfoɔ no taa atamfoɔ no faa ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Bet-Horon no, na wɔto hyɛɛ wɔn so kunkumm wɔn wɔ Aseka ne Makeda.
11 Kwasekusithi besabaleka phambi kukaIsrayeli ekwehleni kweBhethi-Horoni, iNkosi yaphosela phezu kwabo amatshe amakhulu evela emazulwini, kwaze kwaba seAzeka, njalo bafa. Babebanengi abafa ngesiqhotho okwedlula labo abantwana bakoIsrayeli abababulala ngenkemba.
Ɛberɛ a Amorifoɔ redwane wɔ ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Bet-Horon so no, Awurade himm aboɔ akɛseɛ guu wɔn so kɔsii sɛ wɔduruu Aseka. Aboɔ no kunkumm wɔn mu bebree sene dodoɔ a Israelfoɔ de akofena kunkumm wɔn no.
12 Ngalesosikhathi uJoshuwa wakhuluma eNkosini mhla iNkosi inikela amaAmori phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli, wathi phambi kwamehlo kaIsrayeli: Langa, mana eGibeyoni, lawe nyanga, esihotsheni seAjaloni.
Ɛda a Awurade de Amorifoɔ no hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ no nsa no, Yosua bɔɔ Awurade mpaeɛ wɔ Israelfoɔ no anim sɛ, “Ma owia nnyina dinn wɔ Gibeon so na ɔsrane nso ntae wɔ Ayalon bɔnhwa mu.”
13 Lelanga lathi mpo lenyanga yema, abantu baze baziphindisela ezitheni zabo. Lokhu kakubhaliwe yini egwalweni lukaJashari? Ngakho ilanga lema phakathi komkhathi, kalaze laphangisa ukutshona phose okosuku olupheleleyo.
Na owia ne ɔsrane gyinaa dinn, kɔsii sɛ Israelfoɔ dii atamfoɔ no so. Wɔntwerɛɛ saa nsɛm yi wɔ Teefoɔ Nwoma no mu anaa? Owia gyinaeɛ wɔ ewiem mfimfini na ankɔtɔ sɛdeɛ ɛyɛ daa no.
14 Kaluzanga lube khona usuku olunjalo ngaphambi kwalo loba emva kwalo lapho iNkosi eyalizwa khona ilizwi lomuntu, ngoba iNkosi yamlwela uIsrayeli.
Awurade ko maa Israel ɛda no. Ebi nsii saa da na ebi rensi da sɛ saa da no a Awurade tiee abisadeɛ sei firii onipa nkyɛn.
15 UJoshuwa wasebuyela enkambeni eGiligali loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye.
Na Yosua ne Israel akodɔm no sane kɔɔ Gilgal atenaeɛ hɔ.
16 Kodwa lawomakhosi amahlanu abaleka, acatsha ebhalwini eMakeda.
Ɔko no mu, ahemfo baanum no dwane kɔhyɛɛ Makeda ɔbodan mu.
17 Kwasekubikwa kuJoshuwa ukuthi: Amakhosi amahlanu atholwe ecatshile ebhalwini eMakeda.
Yosua tee sɛ wɔahunu wɔn no,
18 UJoshuwa wasesithi: Giqelani amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni wobhalu, limise amadoda kulo ukuwalinda.
ɔhyɛɛ sɛ, “Momfa abotan akɛseɛ nsi ɔbodan no ano kwan, na momma awɛmfoɔ no nnwɛn ano na ahemfo no nhyɛ mu.
19 Kodwa lina lingami; xotshanani lezitha zenu, lizitshaye ngemuva kwazo, lingaziyekeli zingene emizini yazo, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu izinikele esandleni senu.
Mo a moaka no nso, montaa atamfoɔ no na monkunkum wɔn mfiri akyire. Mommma wɔnnkɔ wɔn nkuro so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn bɛma mo adi wɔn so nkonim.”
20 Kwasekusithi lapho uJoshuwa labantwana bakoIsrayeli sebeqedile ukuzitshaya ngokutshaya okukhulukazi zaze zaqedwa, insali eyasalayo yazo yangena emizini evikelweyo.
Enti, Yosua ne Israel akodɔm toaa so kunkumm wɔn, tɔree akodɔm enum no ase ma ɛkaa ɛdɔm no kakra bi a wɔtumi dwane kɔɔ wɔn nkuropɔn a wɔabɔ ho ban no mu.
21 Labantu bonke babuyela enkambeni kuJoshuwa eMakeda ngokuthula; kakho owanyikinya ulimi lwakhe emelana labantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Afei, Israelfoɔ no sane baa Yosua nkyɛn asomdwoeɛ mu wɔ Makeda. Ɛno akyi, obiara suroo sɛ ɔbɛkasa atia Israel.
22 UJoshuwa wasesithi: Vulani umlomo wobhalu, likhuphele kimi lawomakhosi amahlanu evela ebhalwini.
Afei, Yosua kaa sɛ, “Monyiyi abotan a ɛkata ɔbodan no ano no na momfa ahemfo baanum no mmrɛ me.”
23 Basebesenza njalo, bawakhuphela kuye lawomakhosi amahlanu evela ebhalwini: Inkosi yeJerusalema, inkosi yeHebroni, inkosi yeJarimuthi, inkosi yeLakishi, inkosi yeEgiloni.
Enti, wɔkɔyii ahemfo baanum no firi ɔbodan no mu baeɛ: Yerusalemhene, Hebronhene, Yarmuthene, Lakishene ne Eglonhene.
24 Kwasekusithi sebewakhuphele kuJoshuwa lawomakhosi, uJoshuwa wabiza wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli, wathi ezinduneni zamadoda empi ezazihambe laye: Sondelani, libeke inyawo zenu entanyeni zalamakhosi. Zasezisondela, zabeka inyawo zazo entanyeni zawo.
Yosua ka kyerɛɛ nʼakodɔm asahene no sɛ, “Mommra mmɛtiatia ahemfo no kɔn so.” Na wɔyɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔkyerɛɛ wɔn no.
25 UJoshuwa wasesithi kuzo: Lingesabi lingatshaywa luvalo; qinani lime isibindi, ngoba iNkosi izakwenza njalo kuzo zonke izitha zenu elilwa limelene lazo.
Yosua ka kyerɛɛ nʼasraafoɔ no sɛ, “Monnsuro na mommma mo abamu mmu da. Monyɛ den na mo bo nyɛ duru, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade rebɛyɛ yei atia mo atamfoɔ nyinaa.”
26 Emva kwalokho uJoshuwa wasewatshaya wawabulala, wawalengisa ezihlahleni ezinhlanu; njalo ayelenga ezihlahleni kwaze kwahlwa.
Yosua kunkumm ahemfo baanum no mmaako mmaako de wɔn sensɛn nnua enum so kɔsii anwummerɛ.
27 Kwasekusithi ngesikhathi sokutshona kwelanga uJoshuwa walaya ukuthi bawethule ezihlahleni, bawaphosele ebhalwini ayecatshe khona; basebefaka amatshe amakhulu emlonyeni wobhalu, akhona kuze kube yilona lolusuku.
Owia rekɔtɔ no, Yosua hyɛɛ sɛ wɔnyiyi ahemfo no amu no mfiri nnua no so na wɔnkɔto wɔn ngu ɔbodan a wɔkɔtetɛɛ mu no mu. Afei, wɔde abotan akɛseɛ mmoano sii ɔbodan no ano a ɛda so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
28 UJoshuwa wathumba layo iMakeda ngalolosuku, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, watshabalalisa lenkosi yayo, bona, layo yonke imiphefumulo eyayikiyo, katshiyanga insali. Wasesenza enkosini yeMakeda njengalokho akwenza enkosini yeJeriko.
Ɛda no ara, Yosua sɛee Makeda kuropɔn no pasaa, kumm obiara a ɔwɔ mu ne ɛhɔ ɔhene no. Onipa baako koraa anka wɔ kuropɔn no mu. Ɔkumm Makedahene te sɛ deɛ ɔkumm Yerikohene no.
29 UJoshuwa, loIsrayeli wonke laye, wasedlula esuka eMakeda waya eLibhina, walwa emelene leLibhina.
Afei, Yosua ne Israelfoɔ no kɔɔ Libna kɔto hyɛɛ wɔn so.
30 INkosi yasiyinikela layo lenkosi yayo esandleni sikaIsrayeli; waseyitshaya ngobukhali benkemba lemiphefumulo yonke eyayikiyo; katshiyanga insali kiyo; wenza enkosini yayo njengalokho akwenza enkosini yeJeriko.
Ɛhɔ nso, Awurade de kuropɔn no ne ɛhɔ ɔhene no maa wɔn. Wɔkunkumm obiara a ɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu a anka ɔteasefoɔ fua po. Na Yosua kumm Libnahene sɛdeɛ ɔkumm Yerikohene no.
31 UJoshuwa wasesedlula esuka eLibhina, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, waya eLakishi, wamisa inkamba maqondana layo, walwa emelene layo.
Yosua ne Israelfoɔ no firi Libna no, wɔkɔɔ Lakis kɔto hyɛɛ wɔn so.
32 INkosi yasiyinikela iLakishi esandleni sikaIsrayeli; waseyithumba ngosuku lwesibili, wayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba layo yonke imiphefumulo eyayikiyo, njengakho konke akwenza eLibhina.
Na ne nnanu so no, Awurade de Lakis maa Israelfoɔ. Ɛhɔ nso, wɔkunkumm kuropɔn no mu nnipa nyinaa sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ Libna no.
33 Ngalesosikhathi uHoramu inkosi yeGezeri wenyuka ukusiza iLakishi; kodwa uJoshuwa wamtshaya labantu bakhe, kwaze kwathi kamtshiyelanga insali.
Wɔto hyɛɛ Lakis so no, Geserhene Horam de nʼakodɔm baa sɛ wɔrebɛboa abɔ kuropɔn no ho ban. Nanso Yosua mmarima no kumm no sɛee nʼakodɔm no nyinaa.
34 UJoshuwa wasesedlula esuka eLakishi, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, baya eEgiloni, bamisa inkamba maqondana layo, balwa bemelene layo.
Ɛnna Yosua ne ne Israel akodɔm no kɔɔ Eglon kɔto hyɛɛ so.
35 Bayithumba ngalolosuku, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, lemiphefumulo yonke eyayikiyo bayitshabalalisa ngalolosuku, njengakho konke akwenza eLakishi.
Wɔde ɛda koro faa kuro no dommum na ɛhɔ nso, wɔkumm obiara wɔ kuropɔn no mu sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ Lakis.
36 UJoshuwa wasesenyuka esuka eEgiloni loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, baya eHebroni, balwa bemelene layo,
Wɔfiri Eglon no, wɔkɔto hyɛɛ Hebron so,
37 bayithumba, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, lenkosi yayo lemizi yayo yonke lawo wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo; katshiyanga insali, njengakho konke akwenza eEgiloni, wawutshabalalisa lawo wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo.
faa hɔ ne nkuro a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa nnommum. Na sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ Eglon no, wɔkunkumm ɛhɔ nnipa nyinaa. Onipa baako koraa anka.
38 UJoshuwa wasebuyela eDebiri loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, balwa bemelene layo,
Afei, wɔsane wɔn akyi kɔto hyɛɛ Debir so.
39 bayithumba lenkosi yayo layo yonke imizi yayo, bayitshaya ngobukhali benkemba, batshabalalisa wonke umphefumulo owawukiyo; katshiyanga insali. Njengokwenza kwakhe eHebroni wenza njalo eDebiri lenkosini yayo, lanjengokwenza kwakhe eLibhina lenkosini yayo.
Wɔfaa kuropɔn no, wɔn ɔhene ne nkuraa a atwa ho ahyia no nyinaa nnommum. Na wɔkumm obiara a ɔwɔ mu a anka ɔbaako mpo. Wɔsɛee Debir pasaa sɛdeɛ wɔsɛee Libna ne Hebron no.
40 Ngakho uJoshuwa walitshaya ilizwe lonke lezintaba leleningizimu lelesihotsha lelamawatha lawo wonke amakhosi abo; katshiyanga insali, kodwa watshabalalisa konke okuphefumulayo, njengokulaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
Na Yosua dii ɔmantam no nyinaa so. Ɔdii ahemfo no, nnipa a wɔte mmepɔ ɔman no so, Negeb, atɔeɛ fam nkokoɔ ne wɔn a wɔte mmepɔ nsianeɛ so no nyinaa so. Ɔsɛee wɔn nyinaa pasaa a anka ɔteasefoɔ fua mpo sɛdeɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, hyɛɛ no.
41 UJoshuwa wasebatshaya kusukela eKadeshi-Bhaneya kwaze kwaba seGaza, lelizwe lonke leGosheni, kwaze kwaba seGibeyoni.
Yosua kunkumm wɔn firi Kades-Barnea kɔsii Gasa, de firii Gosen kɔduruu Gibeon.
42 UJoshuwa wasethumba wonke lamakhosi lelizwe lawo ngasikhathi sinye, ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli yamlwela uIsrayeli.
Akodie baako mu no, Yosua dii ahemfo yi nyinaa so faa wɔn asase, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, reko ma ne manfoɔ.
43 UJoshuwa wasebuyela, loIsrayeli wonke kanye laye, enkambeni eGiligali.
Afei, Yosua ne Israel akodɔm no sane kɔɔ wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ Gilgal.
