Yosua 6
1 Wɔtotoo Yeriko apon mu papee, efisɛ na wosuro Israelfo no. Wɔamma obiara kwan ma wankɔ mu anaa wamfi adi.
Zvino guta reJeriko rakanga rapfigwa zvakasimba kwazvo nokuda kwavaIsraeri. Hapana akabuda kunze uye hapana akapinda mukati.
2 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Mede Yeriko, ɛhɔ hene ne ɛhɔ akofo nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa.
Zvino Jehovha akati kuna Joshua, “Tarira, ndaisa Jeriko mumaoko ako, pamwe chete namambo waro navarume varo vehondo.
3 Ma wo nsraadɔm no nyinaa mmɔ nsra ntwa kuropɔn no ho nhyia pɛnkoro da biara nnansia.
Fambai mutenderere guta kamwe chete pamwe navarume vose vehondo. Muite izvi kwamazuva matanhatu.
4 Asɔfo baason a wokurakura adwennini mmɛn abɛn bedi Adaka no anim. Da a ɛto so ason no, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ nsra twa kuropɔn no ho mpɛn ason, a asɔfo no rehyɛn mmɛn no.
Ngapave navaprista vanomwe vanotakura hwamanda dzenyanga dzamakondobwe pamberi peareka. Pazuva rechinomwe fambai muchitenderera guta kanomwe, vaprista vachiridza hwamanda.
5 Sɛ mote sɛ asɔfo no hyɛn mmɛn no denneennen ma ɛkyɛ a, nnipa no nyinaa mmɔ nnye so. Afei kuropɔn no afasu nyinaa bedwiriw agu fam, na nnipa no betumi atow ahyɛ kuropɔn no so.”
Kana mukazovanzwa varidza hwamanda kwenguva refu, vanhu vose vanofanira kudanidzira zvikuru; ipapo rusvingo rweguta ruchakoromoka, vanhu vagopinda, mumwe nomumwe pakanangana naye.”
6 Na Yosua frɛɛ asɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Momfa Apam Adaka no na mo mu baason nni anim a wokurakura mmɛn.”
Saka Joshua mwanakomana waNuni akadana vaprista akati kwavari, “Takurai areka yesungano yaJehovha uye vaprista vanomwe ngavatakure hwamanda pamberi pavo.”
7 Enti, ɔhyɛɛ nnipa no se, “Mommɔ nsra mfa kuropɔn no ho na wɔn a wokurakura akode no bedi Awurade adaka no anim.”
Akarayira vanhu akati, “Endai mberi! Fambai muchipoterera guta, varume vakatakura zvombo zvokurwa nazvo vaende mberi kweareka yaJehovha.”
8 Yosua kasa kyerɛɛ nnipa no wiei no, asɔfo baason a wokurakura mmɛn no fii ase bɔɔ nsra wɔ Awurade anim a wɔrehyɛn mmɛn no. Na asɔfo a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no dii wɔn akyi.
Joshua paakapedza kutaura navanhu, vaprista vanomwe vakatakura hwamanda nomwe pamberi paJehovha vakaenda pamberi, vachiridza hwamanda dzavo, areka yesungano yaJehovha ikavatevera.
9 Wɔn a wokurakura akode no bi bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfo no a wɔrehyɛn mmɛn no anim, na bi nso bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfo a wɔso Adaka no akyi, bere a asɔfo no gu so rehyɛn mmɛn no.
Vakanga vakatakura zvombo zvokurwa nazvo vakafamba mberi kwavaprista vairidza hwamanda, navarindi veshure vakatevera areka. Nguva yose iyi hwamanda dzairira.
10 Yosua hyɛe se, “Monnteɛ mu na monnkasa mpo. Mommma asɛm biara mfi mo anum, kosi sɛ mɛka akyerɛ mo se monteɛ mu na moateɛ mu.”
Asi Joshua akanga arayira vanhu achiti, “Musadanidzira, musasimudzira manzwi enyu, musamboti bufu kusvikira zuva randinokuudzai kuti mudanidzire, ipapo ndipo pamunozodanidzira!”
11 Enti, da no, wɔsoaa Awurade Adaka no twaa kuropɔn no ho pɛnkoro. Na afei obiara san kɔɔ atenae hɔ kɔhomee anadwo no.
Naizvozvo akarayira kuti areka yaJehovha itakurwe ipoterere guta, iripoterere kamwe chete. Ipapo vanhu vakadzokera kumisasa vakararako.
12 Ade kyee no Yosua sɔree anɔpahema, na asɔfo no soaa Awurade Adaka no bio.
Joshua akamuka rungwanangwana zuva raitevera vaprista ndokutakura areka yaJehovha.
13 Asɔfo baason a wokurakura adwennimmɛn mmɛn no bɔɔ nsra wɔ Awurade Adaka no anim, a wɔrehyɛn wɔn mmɛn. Wɔn a wokurakura akode no bi nso bɔɔ nsra wɔ asɔfo a wokurakura mmɛn no anim ne Awurade Adaka no akyi. Saa bere no nyinaa na asɔfo no rehyɛn wɔn mmɛn no.
Vaprista vanomwe vakatakura hwamanda nomwe vakaenda pamberi, vakafamba pamberi peareka yaJehovha vachiridza hwamanda. Varume vakanga vakatakura zvombo zvokurwa nazvo vakavatungamirira uye varindi veshure vakatevera areka yaJehovha, hwamanda dzichingoridzwa.
14 Da a ɛto so abien no, wɔbɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho pɛnkoro, na wɔsan kɔɔ atenae hɔ. Wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ saa ara nnansia.
Naizvozvo pazuva rechipiri vakafamba vachipoteredza guta kamwe chete vakadzokera kumisasa. Vakaita izvi kwamazuva matanhatu.
15 Da a ɛto so ason no, Israelfo no sɔree anɔpahema, bɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho hyiae, sɛnea wɔayɛ dedaw no. Nanso, saa bere yi de, wɔbɔɔ nsra twaa kuropɔn no ho mpɛn ason.
Pazuva rechinomwe, vakamuka mambakwedza vakafamba vachipoteredza guta kanomwe nenzira imwe chete, asi musi uyu vakapoterera guta kanomwe.
16 Ne mpɛn ason so no, bere a asɔfo no hyɛn wɔn mmɛn denneennen ma ɛkyɛe no, Yosua hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se, “Monteɛteɛ mu! Na Awurade de kuropɔn no ama mo!
Panguva yechinomwe, vaprista pavakaridza hwamanda, Joshua akarayira vanhu achiti, “Danidzirai! Nokuti Jehovha akupai guta!
17 Kuropɔn no ne emu nneɛma no, ɛsɛ sɛ mosɛe ne nyinaa sɛ afɔrebɔde ma Awurade. Oguamanfo Rahab ne ne fifo nko na ɛsɛ sɛ wogyaw wɔn, efisɛ ɔbɔɔ akwansrafo no ho ban.
Guta nezvose zviri mariri rinofanira kupiwa kuna Jehovha. Asi Rahabhi chifeve bedzi navose vaainavo mumba make ndivo vachasiyiwa, nokuti akavanza vasori vatakatuma.
18 Mommmfa nneɛma a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsɛe no no mu biara, sɛ mofa a, mo ankasa na wɔbɛsɛe mo korakora na mode ɔhaw bɛbrɛ Israel nyinaa.
Asi imi musaswedera pazvinhu zvakatukwa, kuti murege kuzviunzira kuparara, nokutora kana chimwe chazvo. Dzimwe nguva mungaunza kuparara pamusasa weIsraeri mukaipinza padambudziko.
19 Biribiara a wɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere mfrafrae anaa dade ayɛ no yɛ kronkron ma Awurade, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ba nʼadekorabea hɔ.”
Sirivha yose negoridhe nemidziyo yendarira neyesimbi zvakatsaurirwa Jehovha uye zvinofanira kuiswa munochengeterwa pfuma yake.”
20 Bere a nnipa no tee mmɛn no nnyigyei no, wɔteɛteɛɛ mu denneennen sɛnea wobetumi. Prɛko pɛ Yeriko afasu no dwiriw guu fam maa Israelfo no fi afanan nyinaa tow hyɛɛ kuropɔn no so na wɔfae.
Hwamanda padzakarira, vanhu vakadanidzira, uye pakurira kwehwamanda, vanhu pavakadanidzira zvikuru, rusvingo rwakakoromoka; naizvozvo murume mumwe nomumwe akamhanya achipinda napakanga pakanangana naye, vachibva vatora guta.
21 Wɔsɛee biribiara a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mu pasaa, mmarima ne mmea, mmofra ne mpanyin, anantwi, nguan, mfurum ne biribiara.
Vakapa guta kuna Jehovha kuti riparadzwe nomunondo, chipi nechipi chairarama mariri, varume navakadzi, vaduku navakuru, mombe, makwai nembongoro.
22 Afei, Yosua ka kyerɛɛ akwansrafo baanu no se, “Munni mo bɔhyɛ no so. Monkɔ oguamanfo no fi na monkɔfa no ne nʼabusuafo nyinaa mmra.”
Joshua akati kuvarume vaviri vakanga vasora nyika, “Pindai mumba mechifeve mumubudise iye navose vokwake, sezvamakapika kwaari.”
23 Mmerante no kɔfaa Rahab, nʼagya, ne na, ne nuabarimanom ne abusuafo a na wɔwɔ ne nkyɛn no nyinaa bae. Wɔde abusuafo no nyinaa kosiee baabi a ɔhaw biara nni hɔ na ɛbɛn Israelfo atenae.
Naizvozvo majaya akanga asora akapindamo akabudisa Rahabhi, baba vake namai vake nehanzvadzi dzake navose vokwake. Vakabudisa mhuri yose vakavaisa kunze kwomusasa weIsraeri.
24 Afei, Israelfo no hyew kuropɔn no ne emu nneɛma nyinaa. Nneɛma a wɔanhyew no yɛ nea wɔde dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, kɔbere mfrafrae anaa dade ayɛ. Wɔde ne nyinaa kosiee Awurade fi adekoradan mu.
Ipapo vakabva vapisa guta rose nazvose zvaiva mariri, asi vakaisa sirivha negoridhe nemidziyo yendarira neyesimbi munochengeterwa pfuma yemba yaJehovha.
25 Enti, Yosua amfa ne nsa anka oguamanfo Rahab ne nʼabusuafo a na wɔka ne ho wɔ fie no, efisɛ ɔde akwansrafo a Yosua somaa wɔn Yeriko no siei. Enti ɔte Israelfo mu besi nnɛ.
Asi Joshua akasiya Rahabhi chifeve, nemhuri yake navose vokwake, nokuti akanga avanza varume vakatumwa naJoshua savasori kuJeriko, uye agere pakati pavaIsraeri nanhasi uno.
26 Saa bere no, Yosua kaa saa nnome nsɛm yi: “Awurade nnome mmra obiara a ɔyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛkyekyere Yeriko kuropɔn no bio. “Ɔde nʼabakan na ebefi ase, na ɔde nʼakumaa na ebesisi ano apon.”
Panguva iyoyo Joshua akareva mhiko iyi achiti, “Ngaatukwe pamberi paJehovha munhu achazoedza kuvakazve guta iri Jeriko: “Acharasikirwa nomwanakomana wake wedangwe paachaisa nheyo dzaro; acharasikirwa negotwe rake paachamisa masuo aro.”
27 Na Awurade kaa Yosua ho na ne din hyetaa asase no so nyinaa.
Naizvozvo Jehovha akava naJoshua, mbiri yake ikapararira nenyika yose.
