1 Mutumwa waJehovha akakwidza achibva kuGirigari akaenda kuBhokimi akati, “Ndakakubudisai kubva muIjipiti uye ndikakutungamirirai munyika yandakapikira madzitateguru enyu. Ndakati, ‘Handichazomboputsi sungano yangu nemi,
Na Awurade bɔfo fi Gilgal kɔɔ Bokim de nkra kɔmaa Israelfo no se, “Miyii mo fii Misraim, de mo baa asase a mekaa ho ntam sɛ mede bɛma mo agyanom no so. Mekae se, Meremmu mʼapam a me ne mo ayɛ no so.
2 uye imi musazoita sungano navanhu venyika ino, asi munofanira kuputsa aritari dzavo.’ Asi hamuna kunditeerera. Makaitireiko izvozvo?
Mo fam de ne sɛ, mo ne nnipa a wɔte asase yi so no nnyɛ apam biara na mmom mobɛsɛe wɔn afɔremuka nyinaa. Na adɛn nti na moanni me mmara nsɛm so?
3 Naizvozvo zvino ndinokuudzai kuti handichazovadzingi pamberi penyu, vachava minzwa kumativi enyu uye vamwe vavo vachava musungo kwamuri.”
Nea moayɛ yi nti, merempam nnipa a wɔtete mo asase so no. Wɔbɛyɛ mo nkyɛn mu nsɔe na wɔn anyame nso ayɛ mfiri a wɔasum ahintaw mo.”
4 Mutumwa waJehovha akati ataura zvinhu izvi kuvaIsraeri vose, vanhu vakachema kwazvo,
Awurade bɔfo kasa wiee no Israelfo no suu dennen.
5 uye vakatumidza nzvimbo iyo kuti Bhokimi. Ipapo, vakabayira zvipiriso kuna Jehovha.
Enti wɔtoo beae hɔ din “Agyaadwotwa.” Na wɔbɔɔ afɔre wɔ hɔ maa Awurade.
6 Shure kwokunge Joshua ati vaIsraeri vaende, vakaenda vakandotora nyika, mumwe nomumwe kunhaka yake.
Yosua gyaa nkurɔfo no kwan akyi no, mmusuakuw no mu biara kɔfaa nʼagyapade a wɔde maa no sɛ ne kyɛfa no.
7 Vanhu vakashumira mazuva ose okurarama kwaJoshua uye napamazuva avakuru vakasara vari vapenyu uye vakanga vaona zvinhu zvikuru zvose zvakanga zvaitirwa Israeri naJehovha.
Na Israelfo no som Awurade wɔ Yosua ne mpanyimfo a wɔanyinyin sen Yosua a wohuu nneɛma akɛse a Awurade yɛ maa Israel, Yosua nkwa nna nyinaa mu no.
8 Joshua mwanakomana waNuni, muranda waJehovha, akafa ava namakore zana negumi rimwe chete.
Afei, Nun babarima Yosua, Awurade somfo wui a na wadi mfirihyia ɔha ne du.
9 Uye vakamuviga munyika yenhaka yake, paTiminati Heresi munyika yezvikomo yeEfuremu, kumusoro kweGomo reGaashi.
Wosiee no wɔ ne wugyaw asase a na ɛwɔ Timnat-Heres, Efraim bepɔw asase no a ɛwɔ Gaas bepɔw no atifi fam no.
10 Mushure mokunge chizvarwa chake chose chasanganiswa namadzibaba acho, chimwe chizvarwa chakanga chisingazivi Jehovha kana zvaakanga aitira Israeri chakamuka.
Saa awo ntoatoaso no akyi no, awo ntoatoaso foforo nyin a na wonnim Awurade, na wɔnkae nneɛma akɛse a wayɛ ama Israel no.
11 Ipapo vaIsraeri vakaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha uye vakashumira vanaBhaari.
Na Israelfo no yɛɛ nea enye wɔ Awurade ani so, na wɔsom Baalim ahoni.
12 Vakarasa Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba avo, akanga avabudisa kubva muIjipiti. Vakatevera uye vakanamata vamwari vakasiyana-siyana vendudzi dzakanga dzakavapoteredza. Vakatsamwisa Jehovha,
Wogyaw Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn a oyii wɔn fii Misraim no. Wodii anyame foforo akyi, som saa anyame no a ɛyɛ nnipa a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia no dea. Na wɔmaa Awurade bo fuwii.
13 nokuti vakamurasa uye vakashumira Bhaari navaAshitoreti.
Wogyaw Awurade akyidi, kɔsom Baalim ne Astoret ahoni.
14 Mukutsamwira kwake vaIsraeri, Jehovha akavaisa mumaoko avapambi avo vakazovapamba. Akavatengesa kuvavengi vavo vakanga vakavapoteredza, avo vavakanga vasisagoni kudzivisa.
Eyi maa Awurade bo fuw Israel, enti ɔde wɔn hyɛɛ afowfo nsa, maa wowiaa wɔn ahode. Ɔtɔn wɔn maa wɔn atamfo a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia, na wɔantumi annyina wɔn ano.
15 Pose paienda Israeri kundorwa, ruoko rwaJehovha rwairwa navo kuti ruvakunde, sezvaakanga apika kwavari. Vakanga vari munhamo huru.
Bere biara a Israelfo bɛkɔ ɔko no, Awurade ko tia wɔn ma wodi nkogu, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ bɔ no. Enti wɔn ho hiahiaa wɔn papaapa.
16 Ipapo Jehovha akavamutsira vatongi vakavaponesa kubva mumaoko avapambi ava.
Afei, Awurade pagyaw atemmufo ma wobegyee Israelfo fii wɔn atamfo nsam.
17 Kunyange zvakadaro havana kuzoteerera kuvatongi vavo asi vakaita ufeve navamwe vamwari uye vakavanamata. Havana kuita samadzibaba avo, nokuti vakakurumidza kutsauka munzira yaifamba madzibaba avo, nzira yokuteerera kumirayiro yaJehovha.
Nanso Israelfo no antie atemmufo no. Wɔkɔɔ so de wɔn ho bɔɔ anyame foforo, kotow wɔn. Wɔtwee wɔn ho ntɛm so fii wɔn agyanom a wɔyɛɛ osetie maa Awurade mmara nsɛm no kwan so.
18 Pose pavaimutsirwa mutongi naJehovha, iye aiva nomutongi uyo, uye aivaponesa kubva mumaoko avavengi vavo, mutongi paainge achiri mupenyu; nokuti Jehovha ainge avanzwira ngoni pavaigomera vari pasi pavaya vaivadzvinyirira uye vachivarwadzisa.
Bere biara a Awurade de otemmufo bi bedua Israel so no, na ɔka saa otemmufo no ho na ogye nnipa no fi wɔn atamfo no nsam wɔ saa otemmufo no nkwa nna nyinaa mu. Efisɛ Awurade huu ne nkurɔfo a wɔredi wɔn nya na wɔrehu amane no mmɔbɔ.
19 Asi mutongi paainge afa, vanhu vaidzokera kunzira dzakaipisisa kupinda dziya dzamadzibaba avo, vachitevera vamwe vamwari, vachivashandira uye vachivanamata. Vakaramba kusiya mabasa avo akaipa nokusindimara kwemwoyo yavo.
Nanso atemmufo no wu akyi no, nnipa no san kɔɔ wɔn bra bɔne no mu a, afei na wɔasɛesɛe sen wɔn a wodii wɔn anim kan no. Wodii anyame foforo akyi. Wɔkotow wɔn, som wɔn. Na wɔampɛ sɛ wogyae wɔn nnebɔnesɛm ne asobrakye no.
20 Naizvozvo Jehovha akavatsamwira zvikuru akati, “Nemhaka yokuti rudzi urwu rwakaputsa sungano yangu yandakaita namadzitateguru avo uye vakasanditeerera,
Enti Awurade bo fuw Israel. Ɔkae se, “Esiane sɛ saa nnipa yi abu apam a me ne wɔn agyanom yɛe so, na wɔapo me mmara nsɛm nti,
21 handichadzingizve pamberi pavo rudzi rupi zvarwo rwedzimwe ndudzi dzakasiyiwa naJoshua pakufa kwake.
merempam aman a Yosua anni wɔn so ansa na ɔrewu no.
22 Ndichavashandisa kuti vaedze vaIsraeri, kuti ndione kuti vachachengeta here nzira yaJehovha vagofamba mairi sezvakaitwa namadzitateguru avo.”
Meyɛɛ eyi de sɔɔ Israel hwɛe sɛ wobetie Awurade sɛnea wɔn agyanom yɛe no.”
23 Jehovha akatendera ndudzi idzo kuti dzisare; haana kudzidzinga pakarepo uye haana kudziisa mumaoko aJoshua.
Ɛno nti na amma Awurade ampam aman no ntɛm so na wamma Yosua ammedi wɔn nyinaa so no.
