Fakamaau 21
1 Pea naʻe fuakava ʻae kau tangata ʻIsileli ʻi Misipa, ʻo pehē, “ʻOua naʻa ai ha tokotaha ʻiate kitautolu ʻe ʻatu hono ʻofefine kia Penisimani kenau mali.”
Israelfoɔ aka ntam wɔ Mispa sɛ, wɔremfa wɔn mmammaa mma ɔbarima biara a ɔfiri Benyamin abusuakuo mu awadeɛ.
2 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae kakai ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua, pea nofo ʻi ai ʻo aʻu ki he efiafi, pea naʻe hiki honau leʻo, ʻo tangi mamahi;
Nnipa no kɔɔ Bet-El kɔtenaa Onyankopɔn anim kɔsii anwummerɛ, maa wɔn nne so, suu dendeenden kaa sɛ,
3 Pea naʻa nau pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e hā kuo hoko ai ʻae meʻa ni ʻi ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke mole ai he ʻaho ni ha faʻahinga ʻi ʻIsileli?”
“Ao Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, adɛn enti na saa asɛm yi asi? Seesei yɛn mmusuakuo no mu baako ayera!”
4 Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he pongipongi hake, naʻe tuʻu ai ʻae kakai, pea fokotuʻu ʻi ai ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻe ʻatu ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu mo e ngaahi feilaulau fakalelei.
Adekyeɛ mu no, nnipa no tuaa nhema sii afɔrebukyia, na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ.
5 Pea pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Ko hai ia ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake mo e fakataha lahi kia Sihova? He naʻa nau fai ʻae fuakava lahi koeʻuhi ko ia naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake kia Sihova ki Misipa, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe tāmateʻi ia.’”
Wɔbisaa sɛ, “Abusuakuo bi wɔ hɔ a wannya ɔnanmusini ɛberɛ a yɛkɔɔ nhyiamu kɛseɛ wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Mispa no anaa?” Saa ɛberɛ no, na wɔaka ntankɛseɛ wɔ Awurade anim sɛ, obiara a wamma no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔwu.
6 Pea naʻe fakatomala ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli koeʻuhi ko Penisimani ko honau tokoua, ʻonau pehē, “Kuo motuhi ha faʻahinga ʻe taha mei ʻIsileli he ʻaho ni.
Na Israelfoɔ no dii yea wɔ Benyaminfoɔ no ho kaa sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ yi, abusuakuo baako afiri yɛn mu; na nʼase reyɛ atɔre.
7 Ko e hā te tau fai koeʻuhi ke maʻu honau uaifi ʻekinautolu ʻoku toe, he kuo tau fuakava ʻia Sihova ʻe ʻikai te tau foaki kenau mali mo hotau ngaahi ʻofefine?”
Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛanya yerenom ama wɔn a wɔaka no, ɛsiane sɛ, yɛaka Awurade ntam sɛ yɛremfa yɛn mmammaa mu biara mma wɔn awadeɛ?”
8 Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko hai ha tokotaha ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli naʻe ʻikai ʻalu hake ki Misipa kia Sihova?” Pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai haʻu ha tokotaha ki he ʻapitanga mei Sepesi-Kiliati ki he fakataha lahi.
Enti wɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛberɛ a yɛde yɛn ho kyerɛɛ Awurade wɔ Mispa no na obi nni hɔ bi anaa?” Ɛhɔ na wɔhunuu sɛ, obiara amfiri Yabes Gilead amma saa badwa no mu bi.
9 He naʻe lau ʻae kakai, pea vakai, naʻe ʻikai ʻi ai ha taha mei he kakai ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati.
Na wɔkan nnipa no nyinaa no, wɔannya obiara a ɔfiri Yabes Gilead.
10 Pea naʻe fekau ki ai ʻe he fakataha lahi ʻae kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano naʻe mālohi lahi, pea naʻe fekau pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAlu, ʻo taaʻi ʻae kakai ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā, ʻae kau fefine mo e fānau.”
Enti, wɔsomaa akofoɔ mpem dumienu kɔɔ Yabes Gilead sɛ wɔnkɔkunkum obiara a ɔwɔ hɔ a mmaa ne mmɔfra ka ho.
11 Pea ko e meʻa ni ke mou fai, Te mou fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻae tangata kotoa pē, mo e fefine kotoa pē kuo mohe mo e tangata.
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Yei na ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ. Monkum ɔbarima ne ɔbaa biara a ɔnyɛ ɔbaabunu.”
12 Pea naʻa nau ʻilo ʻi he kakai ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati ʻae kau taʻahine tāupoʻou ʻe toko fāngeau, naʻe ʻikai tenau ʻilo ʻae tangata ʻi he mohe mo e tangata: pea naʻa nau ʻomi ʻakinautolu ki he ʻapitanga ki Sailo, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he fonua ko Kēnani.
Yabes Gileadfoɔ mu no, wɔhunuu mmaabunu ahanan a wɔne mmarima nnaa da, na wɔde wɔn baa nsraban a ɛwɔ Silo wɔ Kanaan asase so hɔ.
13 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻae lea mei he fakataha lahi ki he fānau ʻa Penisimani, naʻe [nofo ]ʻi he maka ko Limoni, pea ko e lea fakamelino ia kiate kinautolu.
Na Israelfoɔ badwa no somaa asomdwoeɛ abɔfoɔ ma wɔkɔɔ Benyaminfoɔ nkaeɛ no a na wɔte Rimon botan ho no nkyɛn.
14 Pea naʻe toe haʻu ʻa Penisimani he kuonga ko ia; pea naʻa nau ʻatu honau ngaahi uaifi ʻaia kuo nau fakamoʻui ʻi he kau fefine ʻo Sepesi-Kiliati: ka naʻe ʻikai tenau totofu.
Na Benyaminfoɔ no sane kɔɔ wɔn afie mu, na wɔde mmaabunu a wɔfiri Yabes Gilead a wɔankum bi no maa wɔn awadeɛ. Nanso, mmaa no anso wɔn so.
15 Pea naʻe fakatomala ʻae kakai ʻia Penisimani, koeʻuhi kuo fai ʻe Sihova ha tautea ʻi he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli.
Nnipa no dii Benyaminfoɔ no ho yea, sɛ Awurade ama mpaapaemu aba Israel mmusuakuo no mu.
16 Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻoe fakataha, “Ko e hā ha meʻa te tau fai koeʻuhi ke maʻu uaifi ʻakinautolu ʻoku toe, koeʻuhi kuo ʻauha ʻae kau fefine meia Penisimani?
Enti, Israel ntuanofoɔ no bisaa sɛ, “Sɛ wɔatɔre mmaa a wɔfiri Benyamin ase yi, ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛanya yerenom ama mmarima a aka no?
17 Pea naʻa nau pehē, Ke ʻai ha tofiʻa moʻonautolu kuo hao ʻia Penisimani, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻauha ha faʻahinga ʻe taha ʻi ʻIsileli.
Ɛsɛ sɛ Benyaminfoɔ a aka no nya adedifoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, Israel abusuakuo bi ase ntɔre.
18 Ka ʻoku moʻoni ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke tau ʻatu honau uaifi ʻi hotau ngaahi ʻofefine: he kuo fuakava ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, Ke malaʻia ia ʻaia ʻoku ne foaki ha uaifi kia Penisimani.”
Nanso yɛrentumi mfa yɛn mmammaa mma wɔn awadeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛaka ntankɛseɛ sɛ, obiara a ɔde ne babaa bɛma Benyaminni awadeɛ no, Awurade nnome mmra ne so.”
19 Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae kātoanga maʻa Sihova ʻoku fai ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē ʻi Sailo,” ʻi he potu fakatokelau ʻo Peteli, ʻi he potu hahake ʻi he hala lahi ʻoku ʻalu hake mei Peteli ki Sikemi, pea ʻi he potu tonga ʻo Lepona.
Afei wɔdwenee Awurade afeafe afahyɛ no ho, deɛ wɔdi wɔ Silo, a ɛwɔ Lebona ne Bet-El ntam, wɔ ɛkwan a ɛfiri Bet-El kɔsi Sekem no apueeɛ fam.
20 Ko ia naʻa nau fekau ai ki he fānau ʻa Penisimani, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo toitoi, tatali ʻi he ngaahi ngoue vaine;
Na wɔka kyerɛɛ Benyamin mmarima a wɔda so hwehwɛ yerenom no sɛ, “Monkɔtɛ wɔ bobe nturo no mu.
21 Pea sio, pea vakai, kapau ʻoku haʻu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Sailo ke meʻe ʻi he ngaahi meʻe, mou haʻu ai mei he ngaahi ngoue vaine, ʻo puke ke taki taha homou uaifi ʻi he ngaahi ʻofefine ʻo Sailo, pea mou ʻalu ki he fonua ʻo Penisimani.
Sɛ mmaa a wɔfiri Silo no ba bɛsa wɔn asa no a, mompue mfiri bobe nturo no mu, na mo mu biara bɛtumi afa wɔn mu baako de no akɔ efie sɛ ne yere.
22 ‘Pea ka haʻu ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pe ko honau ngaahi tuongaʻane ke ʻeke ia kiate kimautolu, te mau pehē kiate kinautolu, Mou fai ʻofa kiate kinautolu koeʻuhi ko kimautolu: koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te mau fakatoe kiate kinautolu taki taha hono uaifi ʻi he tau: pea naʻe ʻikai te mou foaki ʻakinautolu ʻi he kuonga ni, ke mou halaia ai.’”
Na sɛ wɔn agyanom ne wɔn nuanom mmarima ba sɛ wɔmpene so a, yɛbɛka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Yɛsrɛ mo, monte aseɛ. Momma wɔmfa mo mmammaa no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛberɛ a yɛkunkumm Yabes Gileadfoɔ no, yɛannya mmaa a ɛbɛso wɔn nyinaa so amma wɔn. Monnni ntam no ho fɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛnyɛ mo na mode mo mmammaa maa wɔn awadeɛ.’”
23 Pea naʻe fai pehē ʻe he fānau ʻa Penisimani, ʻo fili honau uaifi ʻo fakatatau ki honau lau, meiate kinautolu naʻe meʻe, ʻakinautolu naʻa nau puke: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ʻo toe hoko ki honau tofiʻa, ʻo toe teuteu ʻenau ngaahi kolo, pea nofo ki ai.
Enti, Benyamin mmarima no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔkyerɛɛ wɔn no. Wɔwiawiaa mmaa a wɔbaa afahyɛ no ase, de wɔn kɔɔ asase a ɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no so. Na wɔkyekyeree wɔn nkuro no bio tenaa mu.
24 Pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono faʻahinga pea ki hono kāinga, pea naʻe ʻalu mei ai ʻae tangata taki taha ki hono tofiʻa.
Na Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo ne mmusua no firii hɔ sane kɔɔ wɔn ankasa afie mu.
25 ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli: ka naʻe fai ʻe he tangata kotoa pē ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi hono mata ʻoʻona.
Saa ɛberɛ no na Israel nni ɔhene, enti na deɛ nnipa no gye di sɛ ɛyɛ wɔ wɔn ani so no na wɔyɛ.
