1 Na Awurade bɔfo fi Gilgal kɔɔ Bokim de nkra kɔmaa Israelfo no se, “Miyii mo fii Misraim, de mo baa asase a mekaa ho ntam sɛ mede bɛma mo agyanom no so. Mekae se, Meremmu mʼapam a me ne mo ayɛ no so.
Ingilosi yeNkosi yasisenyuka isuka eGiligali isiya eBokimi, yathi: Ngalenyusa lisuka eGibhithe, ngaliletha elizweni engalifungela oyihlo, njalo ngathi: Kangiyikwephula isivumelwano sami lani kuze kube sephakadeni.
2 Mo fam de ne sɛ, mo ne nnipa a wɔte asase yi so no nnyɛ apam biara na mmom mobɛsɛe wɔn afɔremuka nyinaa. Na adɛn nti na moanni me mmara nsɛm so?
Lani-ke kaliyikwenza isivumelwano labahlali balelilizwe, lizadiliza amalathi abo. Kodwa kalililalelanga ilizwi lami. Kuyini lokhu elikwenzileyo?
3 Nea moayɛ yi nti, merempam nnipa a wɔtete mo asase so no. Wɔbɛyɛ mo nkyɛn mu nsɔe na wɔn anyame nso ayɛ mfiri a wɔasum ahintaw mo.”
Ngakho lami ngathi: Kangiyikuzixotsha elifeni phambi kwenu, kodwa zizakuba njengameva enhlangothini zenu, labonkulunkulu bazo babe ngumjibila kini.
4 Awurade bɔfo kasa wiee no Israelfo no suu dennen.
Kwasekusithi lapho ingilosi yeNkosi isikhulume lamazwi kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli, abantu baphakamisa ilizwi labo bakhala inyembezi.
5 Enti wɔtoo beae hɔ din “Agyaadwotwa.” Na wɔbɔɔ afɔre wɔ hɔ maa Awurade.
Basebebiza ibizo laleyondawo ngokuthi yiBokimi, bayihlabela iNkosi lapho.
6 Yosua gyaa nkurɔfo no kwan akyi no, mmusuakuw no mu biara kɔfaa nʼagyapade a wɔde maa no sɛ ne kyɛfa no.
Kwathi uJoshuwa esebayekele abantu bahamba, abantwana bakoIsrayeli bahamba, ngulowo lalowo waya elifeni lakhe ukudla ilifa lelizwe.
7 Na Israelfo no som Awurade wɔ Yosua ne mpanyimfo a wɔanyinyin sen Yosua a wohuu nneɛma akɛse a Awurade yɛ maa Israel, Yosua nkwa nna nyinaa mu no.
Abantu basebeyikhonza iNkosi kuzo zonke izinsuku zikaJoshuwa, lazo zonke izinsuku zabadala abasala bephila emva kukaJoshuwa, ababewubonile wonke umsebenzi omkhulu weNkosi eyayiwenzele uIsrayeli.
8 Afei, Nun babarima Yosua, Awurade somfo wui a na wadi mfirihyia ɔha ne du.
UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni, inceku yeNkosi, wafa-ke, eleminyaka elikhulu letshumi.
9 Wosiee no wɔ ne wugyaw asase a na ɛwɔ Timnat-Heres, Efraim bepɔw asase no a ɛwɔ Gaas bepɔw no atifi fam no.
Basebemngcwabela emngceleni welifa lakhe eThiminathi-Heresi entabeni yakoEfrayimi, enyakatho kwentaba iGahashi.
10 Saa awo ntoatoaso no akyi no, awo ntoatoaso foforo nyin a na wonnim Awurade, na wɔnkae nneɛma akɛse a wayɛ ama Israel no.
Njalo lalesosizukulwana sabuthelwa kuboyise. Kwasekusukuma esinye isizukulwana emva kwabo esasingayazi iNkosi njalo lomsebenzi eyayiwenzele uIsrayeli.
11 Na Israelfo no yɛɛ nea enye wɔ Awurade ani so, na wɔsom Baalim ahoni.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, bakhonza oBhali.
12 Wogyaw Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn a oyii wɔn fii Misraim no. Wodii anyame foforo akyi, som saa anyame no a ɛyɛ nnipa a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia no dea. Na wɔmaa Awurade bo fuwii.
Batshiya iNkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyise, eyabakhupha elizweni leGibhithe, balandela abanye onkulunkulu, kubonkulunkulu bezizwe ezazibazingelezele, bakhothama kibo, bayithukuthelisa iNkosi.
13 Wogyaw Awurade akyidi, kɔsom Baalim ne Astoret ahoni.
Bayidela iNkosi, bakhonza uBhali laboAshitarothi.
14 Eyi maa Awurade bo fuw Israel, enti ɔde wɔn hyɛɛ afowfo nsa, maa wowiaa wɔn ahode. Ɔtɔn wɔn maa wɔn atamfo a wɔatwa wɔn ho ahyia, na wɔantumi annyina wɔn ano.
Ngakho ulaka lweNkosi lwavutha kuIsrayeli, yabanikela esandleni sabaphangi ababaphangayo; yabathengisa esandleni sezitha zabo inhlangothi zonke, ukuze bangabe besaba lakho ukuma phambi kwazo.
15 Bere biara a Israelfo bɛkɔ ɔko no, Awurade ko tia wɔn ma wodi nkogu, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ bɔ no. Enti wɔn ho hiahiaa wɔn papaapa.
Loba bephuma besiya ngaphi, isandla seNkosi samelana labo ngokubi, njengokutsho kweNkosi lanjengokufunga kweNkosi kibo, njalo bacindezeleka kakhulu.
16 Afei, Awurade pagyaw atemmufo ma wobegyee Israelfo fii wɔn atamfo nsam.
INkosi yasimisa abahluleli ababophula esandleni salabo ababaphangayo.
17 Nanso Israelfo no antie atemmufo no. Wɔkɔɔ so de wɔn ho bɔɔ anyame foforo, kotow wɔn. Wɔtwee wɔn ho ntɛm so fii wɔn agyanom a wɔyɛɛ osetie maa Awurade mmara nsɛm no kwan so.
Kanti kababalalelanga labahluleli babo, kodwa baphinga ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu, bakhothama kibo; baphambuka masinyane endleleni oyise ababehamba kuyo, belalela imilayo yeNkosi. Bona kabenzanga njalo.
18 Bere biara a Awurade de otemmufo bi bedua Israel so no, na ɔka saa otemmufo no ho na ogye nnipa no fi wɔn atamfo no nsam wɔ saa otemmufo no nkwa nna nyinaa mu. Efisɛ Awurade huu ne nkurɔfo a wɔredi wɔn nya na wɔrehu amane no mmɔbɔ.
Lalapho iNkosi ibamisela abahluleli, iNkosi yayilomahluleli, yabophula esandleni sezitha zabo zonke izinsuku zikamahluleli; ngoba iNkosi yazisola ngenxa yokububula kwabo ngenxa yalabo ababacindezelayo lababahlukuluzayo.
19 Nanso atemmufo no wu akyi no, nnipa no san kɔɔ wɔn bra bɔne no mu a, afei na wɔasɛesɛe sen wɔn a wodii wɔn anim kan no. Wodii anyame foforo akyi. Wɔkotow wɔn, som wɔn. Na wɔampɛ sɛ wogyae wɔn nnebɔnesɛm ne asobrakye no.
Kwasekusithi ekufeni kukamahluleli, babuyela emuva baxhwala okwedlula oyise, ngokulandela abanye onkulunkulu, ngokubakhonza langokubakhothamela; kabalahlanga okwemisebenzi yabo lokwendlela yabo yenkani.
20 Enti Awurade bo fuw Israel. Ɔkae se, “Esiane sɛ saa nnipa yi abu apam a me ne wɔn agyanom yɛe so, na wɔapo me mmara nsɛm nti,
Ngakho ulaka lweNkosi lwavutha kuIsrayeli, yathi: Ngoba lesisizwe seqe isivumelwano sami engasilaya oyise, kasilalelanga ilizwi lami,
21 merempam aman a Yosua anni wɔn so ansa na ɔrewu no.
lami kangisayikuxotsha loba ngubani elifeni phambi kwabo ezizweni uJoshuwa azitshiya ekufeni kwakhe,
22 Meyɛɛ eyi de sɔɔ Israel hwɛe sɛ wobetie Awurade sɛnea wɔn agyanom yɛe no.”
ukuze ngihlole ngazo uIsrayeli ukuthi bazagcina yini indlela yeNkosi ukuhamba kuyo njengaboyise bayigcina, kumbe hatshi.
23 Ɛno nti na amma Awurade ampam aman no ntɛm so na wamma Yosua ammedi wɔn nyinaa so no.
Ngakho iNkosi yaziyekela lezozizwe, ukuze ingazixotshi elifeni masinyane, njalo kayizinikelanga esandleni sikaJoshuwa.
