Yosua 5
1 Bere a Amorifo ahemfo nyinaa a wɔwɔ Yordan atɔe fam ne Kanaanfo ahemfo a wɔwɔ Po Kɛse no mpoano tee sɛ Awurade ama Asubɔnten Yordan ayow wɔ Israelfo anim ama wɔatwa no, wɔn koma tui, na ehu kyekyeree wɔn.
Mafumu onse a Aamori, a kummawa kwa Yorodani ndi mafumu onse a Akanaani a mʼmbali mwa Nyanja anamva momwe Yehova anawumitsira Yorodani pamene Aisraeli ankawoloka. Choncho anachita mantha ndi kutayiratu mtima chifukwa cha Aisraeliwo.
2 Saa bere no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Yɛ kyerɛwbo asekan na fa twa Israelfo no twetia bio.”
Tsono Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Panga mipeni ya miyala ndipo uchitenso mwambo wa mdulidwe pa Aisraeli.”
3 Enti, Yosua yɛɛ kyerɛwbo asekan no de twitwaa Israelfo nyinaa twetia wɔ Aaralot koko so.
Choncho Yoswa anapanga mipeni ya miyala ndi kuchita mdulidwe Aisraeli ku Gibeyati Haaraloti.
4 Na ɛsɛ sɛ Yosua twitwa wɔn twetia, efisɛ mmarima a na wɔanyinyin a wotumi ko bere a wofii Misraim no nyinaa awuwu wɔ sare no so.
Chifukwa chimene Yoswa anachitira izi ndi ichi: Onse amene anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto, amuna onse amene anali oyenera kumenya nkhondo anatha kufa mʼchipululu atatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.
5 Nnipa a wotu fii Misraim bae no, na wɔatwitwa wɔn nyinaa twetia, nanso wɔn a wɔwowoo wɔn wɔ sare no so wɔ akwantu bere no mu no de, na wontwitwaa wɔn twetia ɛ.
Anthu onse amene anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto anali atachita mwambo wa mdulidwe, koma onse amene anabadwira mʼchipululu, pa ulendo wochoka ku Igupto, sanachite.
6 Israelfo no kyinkyinii wɔ sare no so mfe aduanan kosii sɛ mmarima a wotumi ko bere a wɔrefi Misraim no nyinaa wuwui. Efisɛ wɔyɛɛ asoɔden maa Awurade, na ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔremma wɔn ani nhu asase a waka ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn no so, asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so no.
Aisraeli anakhala akuyenda mʼchipululu kwa zaka makumi anayi mpaka amuna onse amene potuluka mʼdziko la Igupto anali a msinkhu woyenera kupita ku nkhondo anamwalira. Iwo anafa chifukwa sanamvere mawu a Yehova. Yehova anawalumbirira kuti sadzalowa konse mʼdziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi limene analonjeza kwa makolo awo kuti adzatipatsa.
7 Enti Yosua twitwaa wɔn mmabarima a wontwaa wɔn twetia no twetia bere a na wɔrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so no. Eyinom yɛ wɔn a na wɔanyinyin a wotumi si wɔn agyanom anan mu no.
Koma ana awo amene analowa mʼmalo mwawo ndiwo amene Yoswa anawachita mdulidwe popeza sanachite pamene anali pa ulendo wawo mʼchipululu muja.
8 Otwaa mmarima no nyinaa twetia wiei no, wogyee wɔn ahome wɔ atenae hɔ kosii sɛ wɔn ho tɔɔ wɔn.
Atamaliza kuchita mdulidwe uja, anthu onse anakakhala ku misasa yawo kudikira kuti zilonda zipole.
9 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Nnɛ mayi mo nkoayɛ wɔ Misraim ho animguase no afi mo so.” Ɛno nti, wɔfrɛ beae hɔ Gilgal de besi nnɛ.
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Kuyambira tsopano anthu a ku Igupto sadzakunyozaninso.” Nʼchifukwa chake malowa anatchedwa Giligala mpaka lero.
10 Bere a Israelfo no wɔ Gilgal atenae hɔ wɔ Yeriko asase pradada no so no, wodii Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere. Saa ɔsram no na wɔde kae bere a wotu fii Misraim no.
Akupumulabe ku Giligala kuja mʼchigwa cha Yeriko, Aisraeli anachita chikondwerero cha Paska madzulo pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba womwewo.
11 Da no ara, wofii ase dii apiti ne aburow a wɔatoto a wotwa fii asase no so.
Mmawa mwake ndi pamene anayamba kudya zakudya za mʼdziko la Kanaani. Anaphika buledi wopanda yisiti ndi kukazinga tirigu tsiku lomwelo.
12 Mana amma da no na wɔanhu bi nso bio. Enti, efi saa bere no, Israelfo no dii Kanaan asase no so nnɔbae.
Atangodya chakudya cha mʼdzikomo, mana anasiya kugwa, ndipo sanapezekenso. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo Aisraeli anayamba kudya chakudya cha mʼdziko la Kanaani.
13 Bere a Yosua rebɛn Yeriko kuropɔn mu no, ɔpagyaw nʼani huu ɔbarima bi a okura afoa rehyia no. Yosua kɔɔ ne nkyɛn bisaa no se, “Wowɔ yɛn afa anaa woyɛ ɔtamfo?”
Tsiku lina pamene Yoswa anali pafupi ndi Yeriko, anakweza maso ake ndipo mwadzidzidzi anaona munthu atayima patsogolo pake ndi lupanga losolola mʼdzanja lake. Yoswa anapita pamene panali munthuyo ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi uli mbali yathu kapena ya adani athu?”
14 Na ɔbarima no buaa se, “Menyɛ wɔn mu biara, meyɛ Awurade nsraadɔm so safohene.” Yosua tee eyi no, ɔdaa hɔ de nʼanim butuu fam wɔ nidi mu na ɔkae se, “Kyerɛ me nea menyɛ, dɛn na wopɛ sɛ wo somfo yɛ?”
Iye anayankha kuti “Sindili mbali iliyonse. Ndabwera monga mkulu wa asilikali a Yehova.” Pomwepo Yoswa anadzigwetsa chafufumimba kupereka ulemu, ndipo anamufunsa, “Kodi mbuye wanga muli ndi uthenga wotani kwa mtumiki wanu?”
15 Awurade nsraadɔm safohene no buae se, “Yi wo mpaboa na ɛha yɛ asase kronkron.” Na Yosua yɛɛ nea ɔkyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
Mkulu wa asilikali a Yehova uja anayankha kuti, “Vula nsapato zako, pakuti wayima pa malo wopatulika.” Ndipo Yoswa anachitadi zimene anawuzidwazo.
