< 1 Samuel 6 >

1 Awurade Apam Adaka no dii Filistifo asase so asram ason.
Pea naʻe ʻi he fonua ʻoe kau Filisitia ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova ʻi he māhina ʻe fitu.
2 Na Filistifo no frɛɛ wɔn asɔfo ne wɔn asamanfrɛfo bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na yɛnyɛ Awurade Apam Adaka yi? Monkyerɛ yɛn ɔkwan a yɛmfa so nsan mfa nkɔ asase a efi so no so.”
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe he kau Filisitia ke haʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau kikite, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā te mau fai ki he puha tapu ʻo Sihova? Fakahā kiate kimautolu pe te mau ʻatu ia ʻaki ʻae ha ki hono potu?”
3 Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monsan mfa Israel Nyankopɔn Apam Adaka no nkɔ faako a mokɔfaa no, na momfa akyɛde nka ho. Momfa afɔdi afɔre nka ho, na ama ɔyaredɔm no agyae. Na sɛ ɔyaredɔm no annyae a, ɛbɛma moahu sɛ ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔde bae.”
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Kapau ʻoku mou fekau ke ʻave ʻae puha tapu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoua naʻa ʻave mola pe ia; ka mou ʻatu muʻa kiate ia ʻae feilaulau ʻi he angahala: ko ia ʻe fakamoʻui ai ʻakimoutolu, pea ʻe toki ʻilo ai ʻekimoutolu pe ko e hā kuo ʻikai hiki ai hono nima ʻiate kimoutolu.”
4 Wobisae se, “Ɛno de, na afɔdi afɔre bɛn na yɛmfa nkɔ?” Na wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Esiane sɛ ɔyaredɔm no abɔ mo ne mo asodifo baanum nti, monyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ te sɛ pɔmpɔ sɛso anum ne sikakɔkɔɔ akisi sɛso anum te sɛ nea asodifo no dodow te.
Pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko e hā ʻae feilaulau ʻi he angahala ʻaia te mau ʻatu kiate ia?” Pea naʻa nau tala, “Ko e meaʻi koula ʻe nima, mo e kumā koula ʻe nima, ʻo fakatatau ki he houʻeiki Filisitia ʻe toko nima; he ko e hangatāmaki pē taha naʻe ʻiate kimoutolu kotoa pē, pea ʻi homou houʻeiki.
5 Monyɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa mfa nkyerɛ nidi a mowɔ ma Israel Nyankopɔn. Na ebia, obegyaa mo, mo anyame ne mo asase amanehunu no.
Ko ia ke mou ngaohi ʻae ngaahi fakatātā ki homou mataʻi hangatāmaki, pea mo e ngaahi fakatātā ki he kumā ʻaia ʻoku maumauʻi ʻae fonua; pea ke mou tuku ʻae ongoongolelei ki he ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli: heiʻilo pe te ne fakamaʻamaʻa hono nima ʻiate kimoutolu, pea mei homou ngaahi ʻotua, pea mei homou fonua.
6 Monnyɛ asoɔden, nnyɛ atuatewfo, sɛnea Farao ne Misraimfo yɛe no. Wɔamma Israelfo ankɔ kosii sɛ Onyankopɔn maa ɔyaredɔm tew guu wɔn so.
Ko e hā ʻoku mou fakafefeka ai homou loto, ʻo hangē ko e fakafefeka ʻe he kakai ʻIsipite mo Felo honau loto? ʻI he hili ʻene fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa mana ʻiate kinautolu, ʻikai naʻa nau tukuange ʻae kakai ke ʻalu, pea nau ʻalu ai?
7 “Afei, monyɛ teaseɛnam foforo, na monhwehwɛ anantwibere abien a afei na wɔawo mma foforo. Monhwɛ sɛ wɔntwee teaseɛnam da. Momfa anantwi no nsesa teaseɛnam no na montetew wɔn mma no mfi wɔn ho, mfa wɔn nkogu wɔn buw mu.
Pea ko ia, mou ngaohi ʻae saliote foʻou, pea toʻo ʻae ongo pulu fefine ʻoku huhuʻa, ʻaia kuo teʻeki hoko ki ai ha haʻamonga, pea nonoʻo ʻae ongo manu ki he saliote, pea ʻomi hona ʻuhiki ki ʻapi meiate kinaua:
8 Momfa Awurade Apam Adaka no nsi teaseɛnam no mu, na momfa adakawa a sikakɔkɔɔ akisi sɛso ne sikakɔkɔɔ pɔmpɔ sɛso wɔ mu no nsi nkyɛn. Afei, momma anantwi no nkɔ baabiara a wɔpɛ.
Pea hiki ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova, ʻo fakaheka ia ki he saliote; pea ʻai ʻae ngaahi teunga koula ʻaia ʻoku mou ʻatu ko e feilaulau ʻi he angahala, ʻai ia ki he puha ʻe taha ʻi hono kaokao; pea fekau ke ʻave ia, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ia.
9 Na sɛ wɔtra yɛn asase hye, na wokodu Bet-Semes a, ɛbɛma yɛahu sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔde saa amanehunu kɛse yi baa yɛn so. Na sɛ amma no saa a, yebehu sɛ saa ɔyaredɔm a ɛbaa yɛn so no yɛ akwanhyia bi, na mmom, emfi Awurade, wɔ ɔkwan biara so.”
Pea vakai, kapau ʻoku ʻalu ia ʻi he hala ki hono fonua ki Pete-Semesi, ko e moʻoni kuo ne fai ʻae mamahi lahi ni kiate kitautolu: pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai, pea tau toki ʻilo tā ʻoku ʻikai ko hono nima kuo taaʻi ʻakitautolu, ka ko e kovi kuo hoko tuʻungaʻa pē kiate kitautolu.”
10 Wɔyɛɛ saa. Wɔfaa anantwi abien a wɔawo foforo de wɔn saa teaseɛnam no so, na wɔde wɔn mma no guu buw mu.
Pea naʻe fai ia ʻe he kau tangata naʻe ʻomi ʻae ongo sinamanu, ʻo nonoʻo ʻakinaua ki he saliote, kae tāpuni hona ʻuhiki ʻi ʻapi:
11 Wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka no sii teaseɛnam no mu. Wɔde adakawa a sikakɔkɔɔ akisi sɛso ne sikakɔkɔɔ pɔmpɔ sɛso wɔ mu no sii ho.
Pea naʻa nau hilifaki ʻae puha tapu ki he saliote, pea mo e ʻaiʻanga ʻoe kumā koula mo e ngaahi fakatātā ki honau hangatāmaki.
12 Afei, anantwi no de su faa ɔtempɔn a ɛkɔ Bet-Semes no so tee. Filistifo asodifo dii wɔn akyi ara kosii Bet-Semes hye so.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ongo sināmanu ʻi he hala totonu, ʻi he hala ki Pete-Semesi, ʻo ʻalu ai pe ʻi he hala motuʻa, ʻo tangi pe mo ʻalu, pea naʻe ʻikai te na tafoki ki he nima toʻomataʻu pe ki he toʻohema; pea naʻe muimui ki ai ʻae houʻeiki ʻoe kakai Filisitia ʻo aʻu ki he veʻe fonua ʻo Pete-Semesi.
13 Saa bere no, na Bet-Semesfo retwa wɔn atoko wɔ obon no mu. Enti wɔpagyaw wɔn ani huu Adaka no, wodii ahurusi.
Pea naʻe lolotonga ʻae tuʻusi ʻae toʻukai uite ʻe he kakai ʻo Pete-Semesi ʻi he teleʻa: pea naʻa nau hiki hake honau mata, ʻo mamata ki he puha tapu, pea naʻa nau fiefia ʻi he sio ki ai.
14 Teaseɛnam no koduu ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yosua a ofi Bet-Semes afuw mu no, egyinaa ɔbotan kɛse bi ho. Nnipa no twitwaa nnua a wɔde yɛɛ teaseɛnam no mu. Na wɔde anantwi no bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre maa Awurade.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae saliote ki he ngoue ʻa Siosiua ko e tangata Pete-Semesi pea tuʻu ʻi ai, ʻi he potu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae fuʻu maka lahi: pea naʻa nau tafahi ʻae ʻakau ʻoe saliote, ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ongo sināmanu, ko e feilaulau tutu kia Sihova.
15 Lewifo no mu bebree faa adaka no ne adakawa a sika agude wɔ mu no, na wɔde guu ɔbotan kɛse no so. Saa da no, Bet-Semesfo bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne aduan afɔre bebree maa Awurade.
Pea naʻe fakahifo ʻe he kau Livai ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova, pea mo e puha ʻaia naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi teunga koula, ʻo ʻai ia ki he funga ʻoe maka lahi: naʻe ʻatu ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Pete-Semesi ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu, ʻo feilaulau ʻaki ʻae ngaahi feilaulau kia Sihova ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
16 Filistifo asodifo baanum no hwɛɛ eyinom nyinaa, na da no ara, wɔsan kɔɔ Ekron.
Pea ʻi he mamata ki ai ʻae houʻeiki ʻe toko nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia, naʻa nau liu mai ki Ekiloni ʻi he ʻaho ko ia.
17 Sikakɔkɔɔ mpɔmpɔ sɛso a Filistifo no de kɔɔ sɛ asodi afɔre, de maa Awurade no yɛ akyɛde a efi Asdod, Gasa, Askelon, Gat ne Ekron asodifo nkyɛn.
Pea ko e ngaahi meaʻi koula ʻe nima ko eni ʻaia naʻe ʻatu ʻe he kau Filisitia ko e feilaulau ʻi he angahala kia Sihova; ko e taha ki ʻAsitoti, ko e taha ki Kesa, ko e taha ki ʻAsikeloni, ko e taha ki Kati, pea taha ki Ekiloni;
18 Sikakɔkɔɔ akisi sɛso anum no nso gyina hɔ ma Filistifo nkuropɔn anum no ne nkurow a atwa ho ahyia no a na asodifo baanum no hwɛ so no. Ɔbotan kɛse a na ɛwɔ Bet-Semes a wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka no sii no nso da so tim Yosua afum besi nnɛ sɛ nkae ade a ɛkyerɛ asɛm a esii wɔ hɔ no.
Pea naʻe nima ʻae kumā koula ʻo fakatatau ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻae houʻeiki ʻe toko nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia, ʻae ngaahi kolo tau mo e ngaahi potu kakai ʻi ʻuta, ʻo aʻu atu ki he maka lahi ko ʻEpeli, ʻaia naʻa nau hifo ki ai ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova: ʻae maka ko ia ʻoku kei tuʻu, ʻi he ngoue ʻa Siosiua ko e Pete-Semesi ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ni.
19 Na Awurade kunkum Bet-Semesfo no mmarima aduɔson sɛ wɔahwɛ Awurade Apam Adaka no mu. Na nea Awurade yɛe no nti, nnipa no twaa agyaadwo pa ara.
Pea naʻa ne teʻia ʻae kau tangata ʻo Pete-Semesi, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻenau fakasiosio ki he loto puha tapu ʻo Sihova, ʻio, naʻa ne taaʻi ʻae tangata ʻe toko nima mano ma toko fitungofulu: pea naʻe tangilāulau ʻae kakai, he kuo taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻi he tā lahi ʻaupito.
20 Wosu bisae se, “Hena na obetumi agyina Awurade, Ɔkronkronni Nyankopɔn anim? Ɛhe na yebetumi de adaka yi afi ha akɔ?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he kau tangata ʻo Pete-Semesi, “Ko hai ʻoku mafai ke tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻOtua māʻoniʻoni ni? Pea ʻe ʻalu hake ia kia hai meiate kitautolu?”
21 Enti wɔsomaa abɔfo kɔɔ Kiriat-Yearimfo nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Filistifo no asan de Awurade Apam Adaka no aba. Yɛsrɛ mo, mommra ha mmegye!”
Pea naʻa nau fekau ʻae kau talafekau ki he kakai ʻo Kesa-Sialimi, ke pehē, “Kuo toe ʻomi ʻe he kakai Filisitia ʻae puha tapu ʻo Sihova; mou omi ʻo haʻamo hake ia kiate kimoutolu.”
