UJoshuwa 2
1 UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni wasethuma eseShithimi amadoda amabili aba zinhloli ensitha, esithi: Hambani libone ilizwe, leJeriko. Asehamba, ayafikela endlini yomfazi, iwule, obizo lakhe lalinguRahabi, alala khona.
Afei, Yosua somaa akwansrafo baanu wɔ kokoa mu fii Israelfo atenae a ɛwɔ Sitim. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔsra asase a ɛda Yordan agya no, ne titiriw nea atwa Yeriko ho ahyia no.” Enti, mmarima baanu no sii mu koduu oguamanfo bi a ne din de Rahab fi, na wɔtenaa hɔ anadwo no.
2 Kwatshelwa inkosi yeJeriko kwathiwa: Khangela, kufike lapha ebusuku amadoda abantwana bakoIsrayeli ukuhlola ilizwe.
Obi kɔka kyerɛɛ Yerikohene se, “Anadwo yi ara, Israelfo no bi aba ha a wɔrebɛsra asase yi.”
3 Inkosi yeJeriko yasithumela kuRahabi isithi: Khupha lawo amadoda afikele kuwe, angena endlini yakho, ngoba azehlola ilizwe lonke.
Enti Yerikohene soma kɔɔ Rahab nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Fa mmarima a wɔabɛsoɛ wo no ma yɛn. Wɔyɛ akwansrafo a wɔrebɛsra yɛn asase yi ahwehwɛ ɔkwan a wɔbɛfa so atow ahyɛ yɛn so.”
4 Kodwa owesifazana wayethethe lawomadoda amabili, wawafihla, wakhuluma kanje: Afikile kimi amadoda, kodwa bengingazi lapha avela khona.
Rahab a na ɔde mmarima baanu no asie no buae se, “Mmarima no baa me ha de, nanso minnim faako a wofi bae.
5 Kwasekusithi sekuzavalwa isango lapho sekumnyama amadoda aphuma. Kangikwazi lapho amadoda aye khona; axhumeni ngokuphangisa liwalandele, ngoba lizawafica.
Ade reyɛ asa a wɔrebɛtoto kuropɔn no apon mu no na wɔkɔe, nso manhu faako a wɔfae. Sɛ moyɛ ntɛm tiw wɔn a, ebia, mobɛto wɔn.”
6 Kodwa yena wayewenyusele ephahleni, wawafihla phakathi kwamahlanga efilakisi ayechayelwe yena ephahleni.
(Nanso, na ɔde wɔn akɔhyɛ ɔdan atifi, akohintaw ɔfo a waboa ano akuwakuw ase.)
7 Amadoda asewaxhuma ngendlela yeJordani aze afika emazibukweni; bavala amasango emva kokuphuma kwabawaxhumayo bewalandela.
Enti, ɔhene asomafo no sii mu sɛ wɔrekɔhwehwɛ akwansrafo no wɔ ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Asubɔnten Yordan asutwabea hɔ. Asomafo no fi hɔ ara pɛ na wɔtotoo kuropɔn no apon mu.
8 Kwathi wona engakalali, yena wenyukela kuwo ephahleni;
Ansa na akwansrafo no rebɛda anadwo no, Rahab kɔɔ ɔdan no atifi ne wɔn kɔkasae se,
9 wasesithi emadodeni: Ngiyazi ukuthi iNkosi ilinikile ilizwe, lokuthi ukwesabeka kwenu kuwele phezu kwethu, lokuthi bonke abakhileyo elizweni bayancibilika ngenxa yobukhona benu.
“Minim sɛ Awurade de saa asase yi ama mo. Yɛn nyinaa suro mo. Yɛn mu biara abɔ huboa.
10 Ngoba sizwile ukuthi iNkosi yomisa amanzi oLwandle oluBomvu phambi kwenu ekuphumeni kwenu eGibhithe, lalokho elakwenza emakhosini amabili amaAmori ayengaphetsheya kweJordani, uSihoni loOgi elabatshabalalisayo.
Yɛate sɛnea Awurade maa Po Kɔkɔɔ no yow ma munyaa kwan faa mu bere a mufii Misraim no. Na yenim sɛnea moyɛɛ Sihon ne Og a na wɔyɛ Amorifo ahemfo wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam no ne sɛnea mosɛee wɔn nkurɔfo pasaa no.
11 Sathi sikuzwa lokho inhliziyo yethu yancibilika, kakusekho isibindi emuntwini ngenxa yenu. Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, nguye uNkulunkulu emazulwini phezulu lemhlabeni phansi.
Ɛnyɛ nwonwa sɛ yɛn koma atu na yɛabɔ huboa. Obiara nni akokoduru a sɛ ɔte nsɛm a ɛte sɛɛ a, ɔbɛko. Na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ne otumfo Nyankopɔn a ɔwɔ ɔsorosoro ne asase ase.
12 Ngakho-ke ake lifunge kimi ngeNkosi, ngoba ngilenzele umusa, lani-ke lizayenzela umusa indlu kababa, linginike isiboniso esiqinileyo,
“Enti momfa Awurade nka ntam nkyerɛ me se, esiane sɛ maboa mo nti, mobɛyɛ me ne mʼabusuafo adom. Momfa biribi nsi mo bɔhyɛ so se,
13 ukuthi ligcine bephila ubaba lomama, labanewethu labodadewethu, lakho konke abalakho, likhulule impilo yethu ekufeni.
moko fa Yeriko a, morenkum me ne mʼagya ne me na, me nuabarimanom ne nuabeanom ne wɔn ho nnipa nyinaa.”
14 Lamadoda athi kuye: Umphefumulo wethu ufe esikhundleni senu, uba ungavezi obala loludaba lwethu. Njalo kuzakuthi lapho iNkosi isisinikile ilizwe, sizakwenzela umusa leqiniso.
Mmarima no penee so kae se, “Yɛde yɛn nkwa si yɛn bɔhyɛ so. Sɛ woanyi yɛn amma na sɛ Awurade de asase no ma yɛn a, yebedi yɛn bɔhyɛ so.”
15 Wasewehlisa ngentambo ewindini, ngoba indlu yakhe yayisemdulini womuzi, wayehlala phezu komduli.
Esiane sɛ wosii Rahab fi sii kurow no fasu so nti, ɔde hama sian wɔn faa mfɛnsere mu maa wosii fam.
16 Wasesithi kuwo: Yanini entabeni, hlezi abaxhumi bahlangane lani, licatshe khona insuku ezintathu, baze babuye abaxhumi, lemva kwalokho lihambe ngendlela yenu.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munguan mfa bepɔw so man no so. Momfa mo ho nsie nnansa kosi sɛ atiwfo no a wɔrehwehwɛ mo no bɛsan wɔn akyi ansa na moakɔ mo kwan.”
17 Amadoda asesithi kuye: Thina sizakhululeka esifungweni sakho lesi osifungise sona.
Ansa na mmarima no bɛkɔ no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛbɛbɔ mo nkwa ho ban
18 Khangela, ekufikeni kwethu elizweni uzabophela lintambo yomnxeba obomvu ewindini osehlise ngalo, njalo uzibuthanisele endlini yakho oyihlo lonyoko labanewenu lendlu yonke kayihlo.
na mmom, gyaw hama kɔkɔɔ a ɛsɛn wo mfɛnsere ano no na ma wʼabusuafo a ɛyɛ wʼagya, wo na, wo nuabarimanom ne wɔn abusuafo nyinaa mmɛhyɛ ofi no mu a wɔnnkɔ baabiara.
19 Kuzakuthi-ke, loba ngubani ophumela phandle kweminyango yendlu yakho, igazi lakhe lizakuba phezu kwekhanda lakhe, thina-ke sizakuba singelacala. Njalo loba ngubani ozakuba lawe endlini, igazi lakhe lizakuba sekhanda lethu, uba isandla sisiba phezu kwakhe.
Sɛ wopue si abɔnten a, wobekum wɔn nyinaa na obi ntumi mmɔ yɛn sobo sɛ yɛabu yɛn ntam so. Na yɛka ntam sɛ, obiara a ɔhyɛ ofi yi mu no, wɔrenkum no. Obiara nso renteɛ ne nsa wɔ wɔn so.
20 Kodwa uba uluveza obala loludaba lwethu, sizakhululeka esifungweni sakho osifungise sona.
Na sɛ wudi yɛn huammɔ de a, ntam yi nnkyekyere yɛn ɔkwan biara so.”
21 Wasesithi: Njengamazwi enu, kakube njalo. Wasewayekela ehamba, ahamba, wabophela intambo ebomvu ewindini.
Ɔbea no buae se, “Mepene mo nhyehyɛe no nyinaa so.” Ogyaa wɔn kwan, bere a hama kɔkɔɔ no sɛn ofi no mfɛnsere no ano.
22 Asehamba afika entabeni, ahlala khona insuku ezintathu, baze babuya abaxhumi, ngoba abaxhumi bawadinga endleleni yonke, kodwa kabawatholanga.
Akwansrafo no kɔɔ bepɔw asase no so kɔtenaa hɔ nnansa. Atiwfo no hwehwɛɛ ɔkwan no so baabiara, san kɔɔ wɔn kurom a wɔanhu akwansrafo no wɔ baabiara.
23 Ngakho amadoda womabili aphenduka asesehla entabeni, achapha, afika kuJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, amtshela konke okuwehleleyo.
Afei akwansrafo baanu no sian fii bepɔw asase no so twaa Asubɔnten Yordan bɛkaa nsɛm a ɛtoo wɔn nyinaa kyerɛɛ Yosua.
24 Athi kuJoshuwa: Isibili iNkosi ilinikele esandleni sethu ilizwe lonke, futhi-ke bonke abakhileyo belizwe bancibilikile ngenxa yobukhona bethu.
Wɔkae se, “Ampa ara Awurade de asase no nyinaa bɛma yɛn, efisɛ yɛn ho hu atɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa so.”
