UJoshuwa 18
1 Inhlangano yonke-ke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli yabuthana eShilo, yamisa khona ithente lenhlangano. Lelizwe lalehliselwe phansi phambi kwabo.
Afei a asase no abedi Israelfo nsam no, Israelfo nyinaa boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Silo na wosii hyiadan.
2 Kwasekusele phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli izizwe eziyisikhombisa ezazingabelwanga ilifa lazo.
Nanso na aka mmusuakuw ason a wɔmfaa wɔn kyɛfa no mmaa wɔn ɛ.
3 UJoshuwa wasesithi kubantwana bakoIsrayeli: Koze kube nini lidonda ukuyakudla ilifa lelizwe iNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo elinike lona?
Enti Yosua bisaa wɔn se, “Moretwɛn akosi da bɛn ansa na moafa asase no nkae a Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn de ama mo no?
4 Zinikeni amadoda amathathu ngesizwe, ngiwathume, asukume ahambe adabule ilizwe, alibhale ngokwelifa lazo, abuye kimi.
Munyi nnipa baasa mfi abusuakuw biara mu na mɛsoma wɔn ama wɔakɔsra baabi a wonnii hɔ so no. Wɔsan ba a, wɔbɛkyerɛw nea wohui agu krataa so akyerɛ me sɛnea wɔbɛkyekyɛ agyapade no.
5 Azalehlukanisa libe yizabelo eziyisikhombisa; uJuda uzahlala emngceleni wakhe eningizimu, labendlu kaJosefa bahlale emngceleni wabo enyakatho.
Akwansrafo no bɛkyekyɛ asase no mu ason, na wɔmmfa Yuda asase a ɛda anafo fam ne Yosef asase a ɛwɔ atifi fam no nka ho.
6 Lani lizabhala ilizwe ngezigaba eziyisikhombisa, beseliletha kimi lapha, ukuthi ngiliphosele inkatho lapha phambi kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
Afei, mɛbɔ ntonto a ɛho tew wɔ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn anim, apɛ baabi a wɔde bɛma abusuakuw biara.
7 Ngoba amaLevi kawalasabelo phakathi kwenu, ngoba ubupristi beNkosi buyilifa labo. LoGadi loRubeni lengxenye yesizwe sakoManase sebethethe ilifa labo ngaphetsheya kweJordani empumalanga, uMozisi inceku yeNkosi eyabanika lona.
Nanso Lewifo no rennya asase biara. Wɔn dwumadi sɛ Awurade asɔfo no bɛyɛ wɔn agyapade. Na Gad ne Ruben mmusuakuw ne Manase abusuakuw fa no nso nnya asase no bi bio, efisɛ wɔanya wɔn agyapade a Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade somfo de maa wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam no dedaw.”
8 Asesuka amadoda ahamba. UJoshuwa wawalaya ahambayo ukubhala ilizwe esithi: Hambani lidabule ilizwe lilibhale, libuyele kimi, ukuze ngiliphosele inkatho lapha phambi kweNkosi eShilo.
Mmarima a wɔrekosusuw asase no rebɛkɔ no, Yosua hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔkyekyɛ asase no, na monsan mfa nea muhui ho nsɛm a moakyerɛw agu krataa so mmrɛ me, na menam ntontobɔ kronkron a wɔbɛbɔ no Awurade anim wɔ Silo no so de asase no bɛma mmusuakuw no.”
9 Ngakho amadoda ahamba adabula phakathi kwelizwe, alibhala ngemizi ngezigaba eziyisikhombisa egwalweni; asebuya kuJoshuwa enkambeni eShilo.
Mmarima no yɛɛ sɛnea wɔhyɛɛ wɔn no, kyekyɛɛ asase no nyinaa mu ason, kyerɛw nkurow a ɛwɔ asase no nkyekyɛ mu biara so. Wɔsan kɔɔ Yosua nkyɛn wɔ Silo atenae hɔ.
10 UJoshuwa wasebaphosela inkatho eShilo phambi kweNkosi; uJoshuwa wasebabela lapho ilizwe abantwana bakoIsrayeli ngokwezigaba zabo.
Silo hɔ na Yosua bɔɔ ntonto kronkron wɔ Awurade anim de pɛɛ asasetaw a ɛsɛ sɛ abusuakuw biara fa.
11 Inkatho yesizwe sabantwana bakoBhenjamini yavela ngokwensendo zabo. Lomngcele wenkatho yabo waphuma phakathi kwabantwana bakoJuda labantwana bakoJosefa.
