1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Nsuro anaasɛ mma wo koma ntu. Fa wʼasraafo no nyinaa na kɔtow hyɛ Ai so, efisɛ mede Aihene, ne nkurɔfo, ne kuropɔn ne nʼasase ama wo.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ndũgetigĩre na ndũgakue ngoro. Thiĩ na mbũtũ yothe ya ita, mwambate mũgatharĩkĩre itũũra rĩa Ai. Nĩgũkorwo nĩneanĩte mũthamaki wa Ai moko-inĩ manyu, hamwe na andũ ake, na itũũra rĩake rĩu inene na bũrũri wake.
2 Wobɛsɛe wɔn sɛnea wosɛe Yeriko ne ne hene no. Nanso, saa bere yi de, mutumi fa asade ne anantwi no. Ma wʼasraafo no nkɔtɛw kuropɔn no akyi.”
Ĩkai itũũra rĩa Ai na mũthamaki warĩo o ta ũrĩa mwekire itũũra rĩa Jeriko na mũthamaki warĩo, o tiga atĩrĩ, no muoye indo iria mũgũtaha, o na mahiũ matuĩke manyu. Oheriai andũ a itũũra rĩu inene na mwena wa na thuutha.”
3 Na Yosua ne Israel nsraadɔm no sii mu sɛ wɔrekɔtow ahyɛ Ai so. Yosua yii asraafo mpem aduasa, somaa wɔn anadwo,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua na mbũtũ yothe ya ita makiumagara magatharĩkĩre Ai. Nake agĩthuura andũ 30,000 arĩa maarĩ njamba mũno akĩmatũma mathiĩ kũrĩ ũtukũ,
4 hyɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔtɛw wɔ ahintawee a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no akyi na monyɛ krado mma ɔko.
akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Ta thikĩrĩriai wega. Inyuĩ mũkuoheria andũ a itũũra rĩu inene na mwena warĩo wa na thuutha. Mũtigaikare haraaya narĩo. Inyuothe mũikare mwĩiguĩte.
5 Sɛ yɛn asraafo no tow hyɛ Ai so a, Ai mmarima befi adi abɛko, sɛnea wɔyɛɛ kan no, na yebeguan.
Niĩ na arĩa othe tũrĩ nao tũgũthengerera itũũra rĩu inene kuuma na mbere na rĩrĩa andũ acio mariumagara gũtũhũũra o ta ũrĩa meekire hĩndĩ ya mbere-rĩ, tũmoorĩre.
6 Yɛbɛma wɔataa yɛn ara kosi sɛ wɔn nyinaa befi kuropɔn no mu. Na wɔbɛka se ‘Israelfo no reguan sɛnea wɔyɛɛ kan no.’
Nao matũingatithie o nginya tũmaguucĩrĩrie biũ moime itũũra rĩu inene, nĩgũkorwo mariuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ ithuĩ maroorĩra ta ũrĩa meekire rĩa mbere.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa tũrĩĩmoorĩra-rĩ,
7 Afei mubefi mo ahintawee hɔ ntɛm so akɔfa kuropɔn no, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn de bɛma mo.
inyuĩ na inyuĩ mũkĩre muume kũrĩa mũmooheirie, mũtharĩkĩre itũũra rĩu inene na mũrĩtunyane. Jehova Ngai wanyu nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ manyu.
8 Monto kuropɔn no mu gya sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ no. Munim nea ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ.”
Na rĩrĩ, mwarĩkia kwĩgwatĩra itũũra rĩu inene-rĩ, mũrĩcine. Ĩkai o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathanĩte gwĩkwo. Mũtigĩrĩre nĩ mweka ũguo ndamwatha.”
9 Enti wofii hɔ anadwo no kɔtɛw Bet-El ne Ai atɔe fam ntam. Nanso, Yosua de, ɔkaa nnipa no mu wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ anadwo no.
Nake Joshua akĩmeera moimagare, nao magĩthiĩ harĩa maathiiaga kuoheria andũ a itũũra rĩu, na makĩĩhitha metereire gatagatĩ ka Betheli na Ai, mwena wa ithũĩro wa Ai, no Joshua araaranirie na andũ arĩa angĩ ũtukũ ũcio.
10 Ade kyee anɔpahema no, Yosua nyan nʼakofo ma wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Ai a Israel ntuanofo ka wɔn ho.
Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ rũciinĩ tene, Joshua agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ ake, nake we mwene hamwe na atongoria a Isiraeli makĩmatongoria marorete Ai.
11 Wɔkɔbɔɔ atenae wɔ Ai atifi fam a obon da wɔne kuropɔn no ntam.
Mbũtũ yothe ya ita ĩrĩa yarĩ hamwe nake ĩgĩthiĩ yambatĩte, ĩgĩkuhĩrĩria itũũra rĩu inene mariumĩte na mbere. Nao makĩamba hema mwena wa gathigathini wa Ai, na hagĩkorwo nĩ haarĩ gĩtuamba gatagatĩ kao na itũũra rĩu inene.
12 Anadwo no, Yosua somaa asraafo mpem anum sɛ wɔnkɔtɛw Bet-El ne Ai ntam wɔ kuropɔn no atɔe fam.
Joshua nĩakoretwo oete andũ ta 5,000 na akamaiga moheirie andũ kũu gatagatĩ ka Betheli na Ai, mwena wa ithũĩro wa itũũra rĩu inene.
13 Enti ɔmaa asraafo no mu fa kɛse gyinaa kuropɔn no atifi fam a na atɛwfo no bi nso wɔ kuropɔn no atɔe fam. Yosua ankasa de, ɔtenaa obon no mu anadwo no.
Magĩgĩatha thigari ciikare ciĩhaarĩirie o andũ handũ hao, iria ciothe ciarĩ kambĩ igĩikara mwena wa gathigathini wa itũũra rĩu inene, na iria cioheirie andũ mwena wa ithũĩro warĩo. Naguo ũtukũ ũcio Joshua agĩthiĩ kũraara kũu gĩtuamba-inĩ.
14 Aihene huu sɛ Israelfo no wɔ obon no fa nohɔ no, ntɛm so, ɔne nʼakofo nyinaa sɔree anɔpahema kɔtoaa Israelfo no, tow hyɛɛ wɔn so wɔ Araba. Nanso, na onnim sɛ atɛwfo bi wɔ kuropɔn no akyi.
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Ai onire ũndũ ũcio, agĩũkĩra na ihenya rũciinĩ tene, akiumagara na ihenya hamwe na andũ othe a itũũra rĩu inene nĩguo agacemanie na Isiraeli marũe mbaara handũ hana haangʼethanĩire na Araba. No rĩrĩ, ndaigana kũmenya atĩ nĩmehithĩirwo na mwena wa thuutha wa itũũra rĩu inene.
15 Yosua ne ne Israel nsraadɔm no guan kɔɔ sare no so yɛɛ sɛnea Aifo no adi wɔn so,
Nake Joshua na andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩĩtua ta mahũũrĩtwo magatoorio, nao makĩũra marorete na werũ-inĩ.
16 enti Aifo no frɛɛ mmarima a wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu no nyinaa ma wɔbɛtaa Israelfo no. Ɛyɛɛ saa maa wɔn nyinaa fii kuropɔn no mu.
Nao andũ othe a itũũra rĩa Ai magĩĩtwo nĩguo mamarũmĩrĩre, nao magĩtengʼeria Joshua makĩguucĩrĩrio makiuma itũũra rĩao.
17 Anka obiara wɔ Ai anaa Bet-el a wankɔtaa Israelfo, na wogyaw kurow no maa ano daa hɔ.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ mũrũme o na ũmwe wa Ai kana Betheli ũtoimire gũthiĩ gũkinyĩra andũ a Isiraeli. Magĩtiga itũũra rĩu rĩtaahingĩtwo magĩtengʼeria andũ a Isiraeli.
18 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Fa wo peaw no kyerɛ Ai so, na mede kuropɔn no bɛma wo.” Enti, Yosua yɛɛ sɛnea wɔhyɛɛ no no.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Joshua atĩrĩ, “Ambararia itimũ rĩu ũnyiitĩte na guoko, ũrĩrorie mwena wa Ai, nĩgũkorwo nĩngũneana itũũra rĩu inene moko-inĩ manyu.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua akĩambararia itimũ rĩake akĩrĩroria Ai.
19 Yosua nyamaa atɛwfo no ara pɛ, wɔsɔree pankran bɔ wuraa kuropɔn no mu. Wɔfaa kuropɔn no na wɔtoo mu gya.
Na rĩrĩ, Joshua aarĩkia gwĩka ũguo, arũme arĩa moohetie andũ magĩũkĩra narua, magĩtengʼera na ihenya, magĩtoonya itũũra rĩu na makĩrĩtunyana, ningĩ makĩrĩgwatia mwaki o narua.
20 Aifo no hwɛɛ wɔn akyi huu sɛ wusiw kumɔnn aduru soro, na wɔannya baabi ankɔ, efisɛ Israelfo no a woguan kɔɔ sare so no dan wɔn ani taa wɔn.
Na rĩrĩa andũ acio a Ai maarorire na thuutha na makĩona ndogo yumĩte itũũra rĩu yambatĩte na igũrũ-rĩ, nao makĩaga mweke wa gwĩthara na mwena o na ũrĩkũ, nĩgũkorwo andũ a Isiraeli arĩa morĩte marorete werũ-inĩ nĩmagarũrũkĩire acio maamatengʼeragia.
21 Bere a Yosua ne Israelfo a wɔaka no huu sɛ atɛwfo no afa kuropɔn no, na wusiw ayɛ kumɔnn wɔ wim no, wɔdan wɔn ho bɛtow hyɛɛ Aifo no so.
Rĩrĩa Joshua na Isiraeli othe moonire atĩ andũ ao arĩa mooheirie andũ thuutha wa itũũra nĩmarĩtunyanĩte, na makĩona ndogo ĩgĩtoga kuuma itũũra, makĩgarũrũka na makĩũraga andũ acio a Ai.
22 Israelfo a na wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu fii akyi hyɛɛ ase kunkum atamfo no. Enti Ai mmarima no dii nsensɛnmu na wɔn nyinaa wuwui. Anka obi biara.
Nao andũ arĩa maamohetie makiuma itũũra rĩu inene matharĩkĩre. Andũ a Ai magĩgĩĩkĩrwo gatagatĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli, makĩmagĩa mbere na thuutha. Andũ a Isiraeli makĩmaniina, na matiatigirie mũndũ o na ũmwe arĩ muoyo, kana makĩreka o na ũmwe ahonoke.
23 Ai hene nko ara na wɔkyeree no anikann de no brɛɛ Yosua.
No nĩmanyiitire mũthamaki wa Ai arĩ muoyo, makĩmũtwarĩra Joshua.
24 Bere a Israelfo nsraadɔm kunkum Ai mmarima a wopue fii kuropɔn no mu wiee no, wɔsan kɔɔ kuropɔn no mu kokunkum wɔn a wɔaka wɔ mu nyinaa.
Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maarĩkirie kũũraga andũ othe a Ai arĩa maarĩ gĩthaka-inĩ na kũu werũ-inĩ, kũrĩa maamatengʼereirie-rĩ, na rĩrĩa andũ acio othe maarĩkirie kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli othe magĩcooka Ai na makĩũraga andũ arĩa othe maarĩ kuo.
25 Enti da no wokunkum nnipa a wɔwɔ Ai nyinaa; na wɔn ano si mpem dumien.
Andũ arĩa mooragirwo mũthenya ũcio maarĩ andũ 12,000, arũme na andũ-a-nja; nao nĩo andũ othe a itũũra rĩa Ai.
26 Yosua soo ne peaw no mu saa ara kosii sɛ wɔsɛee obiara a ɔte Ai no pasaa.
Nĩgũkorwo Joshua ndaigana gũthuna guoko kũrĩa kwambararĩtie itimũ rĩake nginya rĩrĩa aarĩkirie kũniina andũ arĩa othe maatũũraga Ai.
27 Anantwi ne agyapade a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mu nko ara na wɔansɛe no; Israelfo no ankasa fae, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Yosua no.
Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩkuuĩra ũhiũ na indo iria maatahĩte kuuma itũũra rĩu inene, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aathĩte Joshua.
28 Enti, Yosua hyew Ai ma bɛdanee mmubui siw ne amamfo de besi nnɛ.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Joshua agĩcina Ai na akĩrĩtua hĩba ya mwanangĩko ya gũtũũra, gũgĩtuĩka kũndũ gũkirĩte ihooru nginya ũmũthĩ.
29 Yosua sɛn Ai hene wɔ dua bi so gyaw no wɔ dua no so kosii anwummere. Owia kɔtɔe no, Israelfo no yii amu no de no kɔtoo kuropɔn no pon ano. Wɔhyɛɛ abo siw wɔ ne so a ɛda so wɔ hɔ besi nnɛ.
Joshua agĩcooka agĩcuuria mũthamaki ũcio wa Ai mũtĩ igũrũ, akĩreka aikare ho o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Riũa rĩgĩthũa-rĩ, Joshua agĩathana atĩ mwĩrĩ ũcio ũrutwo mũtĩ igũrũ, ũikio hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra rĩu, magĩcooka makĩũigĩrĩra hĩba nene ya mahiga, nayo ĩrĩ o ho nginya ũmũthĩ.
30 Yosua sii afɔremuka maa Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, wɔ Ebal bepɔw so.
Thuutha wa ũguo Joshua agĩakĩra Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, kĩgongona o kũu kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Ebali,
31 Odii nkyerɛkyerɛ a Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade somfo akyerɛw wɔ Mmara Nhoma no mu a ese, “Fa abo a wontwae na wɔmfaa adwinnade nsinsenii ho si afɔremuka ma me” no so. Na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre maa Awurade wɔ afɔremuka no so.
o ta ũrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aathĩte andũ a Isiraeli. Aagĩakire o ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ wa Ibuku rĩa Watho wa Musa, kĩgongona kĩrĩ kĩa mahiga matarĩ maicũhie, hatarĩ indo cia wĩra cia kĩgera ikũhũthĩrwo ho. Igũrũ rĩakĩo makĩrutĩra Jehova maruta ma njino na magongona ma ũiguano.
32 Na Yosua kyerɛw Mose Mmara no guu afɔremuka no abo no so, bere a na Israelfo no rehwɛ no no.
Nake Joshua akĩandĩka watho wa Musa igũrũ rĩa mahiga macio, aandĩkire andũ a Isiraeli marĩ ho makĩĩonagĩra.
33 Afei, wɔkyɛɛ Israelfo nyinaa; ahɔho ne ɔmanfo, ntuanofo, adwumayɛfo ne atemmufo nyinaa mu akuw abien. Kuw baako gyinaa Gerisim bepɔw ayaase na kuw baako nso gyinaa Ebal bepɔw ayaase. Akuw abien yi dii nhwɛanim. Na Lewifo asɔfo a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no gyinaa wɔn mfimfini. Wɔyɛɛ eyinom nyinaa sɛnea Awurade somfo Mose nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɔnam so hyira Israelfo no te.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Isiraeli othe, na andũ a kũngĩ na ene bũrũri o ũndũ ũmwe, hamwe na athuuri ao, na anene na atuithania ciira, makĩrũgama mĩena yeerĩ ya ithandũkũ rĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova mangʼetheire athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa maarĩ Alawii na nĩo maarĩkuuaga. Nuthu ya andũ yarũgamĩte mbere ya kĩrĩma kĩa Gerizimu, na nuthu ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩkarũgama mbere ya kĩrĩma kĩa Ebali, o ta ũrĩa Musa ndungata ya Jehova aathanĩte mbere ĩyo rĩrĩa aarutanire ũhoro wa kũrathimaga andũ a Isiraeli.
34 Afei, Yosua kenkan nhyira ne nnome nsɛm a Mose akyerɛw wɔ Mmara Nhoma no mu no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
Thuutha ũcio, Joshua agĩthoma ciugo ciothe cia Watho, agĩthoma irathimo o na agĩthoma irumi, o ta ũrĩa kwaandĩkĩtwo Ibuku-inĩ rĩa Watho.
35 Asɛm biara a Mose ahyɛ no, Yosua kenkan kyerɛɛ ɔman mu no a mmea, mmofra ne ahɔho a wɔne Israelfo no te no nso ka ho bi.
Gũtirĩ kiugo o na kĩmwe kĩa iria ciothe Musa aathanĩte Joshua ataathomeire kĩũngano kĩu gĩothe kĩa Isiraeli, o hamwe na andũ-a-nja na ciana na andũ o kũngĩ arĩa maatũũranagia nao.
