4 Mose 21
1 Arad hene a ɔyɛ Kanaanni a ɔte Negeb tee sɛ Israelfo nam Atarim kwan so reba no, ɔboaboaa nʼakofo ano kɔtow hyɛɛ Israelfo no so kyekyeree ebinom nnommum.
Kwathi inkosi yase-Aradi engumKhenani eyayihlala eNegebi isizwa ukuthi abako-Israyeli babesiza behamba ngomgwaqo beqonde e-Atharimi, yabahlasela abako-Israyeli yaze yathumba abanye babo.
2 Afei, Israelfo no kaa ntam kyerɛɛ Awurade se, “Sɛ wode saa nnipa yi bɛhyɛ yɛn nsa a, anka yebegu wɔn nkurow akɛse no.”
Ngakho u-Israyeli wenza lesisifungo kuThixo wathi: “Nxa unganikela lababantu ezandleni zethu, sizachithiza amadolobho abo nya.”
3 Awurade tiee wɔn adesrɛ no na ɔde Kanaanfo no maa wɔn. Israelfo no sɛee wɔn ne wɔn nkurow akɛse pasaa; wɔtoo hɔ din Horma a ase ne “Ɔsɛe.”
UThixo walalela ukuncenga kwabako-Israyeli wasenikela amaKhenani kubo. Abako-Israyeli bawaqothula amaKhenani bachithiza kanye lamadolobho awo; ngakho indawo leyo yabizwa ngokuthi yiHoma.
4 Afei, Israelfo no fii Bepɔw Hor so de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Po Kɔkɔɔ sɛ wobetwa dantaban afa Edom ho. Nanso wɔrekɔ no nipa no aba mu bui;
Bahamba besuka entabeni yaseHori ngendlela eqonda oLwandle oluBomvu, ukuze baceze ilizwe lase-Edomi. Kodwa besendleleni abantu basebenengekile sebephelelwe yikubekezela;
5 wonwiinwii tiaa Onyankopɔn ne Mose se, “Adɛn nti na moayi yɛn afi Misraim de yɛn aba sɛ yemmewuwu wɔ sare yi so? Aduan nni ha! Nsu nni ha! Yɛmpɛ saa awerɛhow aduan yi!”
bakhuluma kubi besola uNkulunkulu kanye loMosi, bathi, “Lasikhuphelani na eGibhithe ukuze sizefela enkangala? Akulasinkwa! Akulamanzi! Futhi lalokhu ukudla kwenu okubi siyakuzonda.”
6 Enti, Awurade maa awɔ a wɔn ano wɔ bɔre yiye kɔkekaa wɔn mu bebree ma wowuwui.
Ngakho uThixo wasebathumela izinyoka ezazilobuhlungu obesabekayo kakhulu, zabaluma abantu bako-Israyeli abanengi bafa.
7 Na nnipa no baa Mose nkyɛn bɛsrɛɛ se, “Yɛayɛ bɔne, efisɛ yɛakasa atia Awurade ne wo. Bɔ mpae kyerɛ Awurade na awɔ no nkɔ.” Enti Mose bɔɔ mpae maa nnipa no.
Abantu baya kuMosi bathi, “Sonile ngokukhuluma kwethu kubi ngoThixo langokukhuluma kwethu ngawe. Akukhuleke ukuthi uThixo asuse izinyoka lezi phakathi kwethu.” Ngakho wabakhulekela abantu.
8 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Fa kɔbere yɛ saa awɔ yi mu baako sɛso na fa no sɛn abaa tenten bi so, na sɛ awɔ no bi ka obi na ɔhwɛ no a, ɔrenwu.”
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Yenza inyoka yethusi uyiphanyeke esigodweni; loba ngubani olunyiweyo angakhangela kuyo uzaphila.”
9 Enti Mose yɛɛ ɔwɔ sɛso no, de sɛn dua tenten so. Na obiara a ɔwɔ no bi bɛka no no, sɛ ɔma nʼani so hwɛ no a, onwu.
Ngakho uMosi wenza inyoka yethusi wayiphanyeka esigodweni. Kwakusithi lowo olunywe yinyoka angakhangela inyoka yethusi aphile.
10 Israelfo no fi hɔ no, wɔtoaa wɔn akwantu no so kɔɔ Obot kɔtenaa hɔ.
Abako-Israyeli basuka baqhubeka baze bayamisa izihonqo zabo e-Obhothi.
11 Afei, wɔtoaa so kɔɔ Iye-Haabarim wɔ sare so wɔ Moab apuei fam.
Basuka njalo e-Obhothi bayamisa izihonqo zabo e-Iye-Abharimi, enkangala eyayimalungana leMowabi ngokuya ngempumalanga.
12 Wofi hɔ no, wɔtoaa so kɔɔ asuwa Sered Subon mu kɔbɔɔ atenae wɔ hɔ.
Besuka lapho baqhubeka ngohambo baze bayamisa izihonqo zabo esigodini saseZeredi.
13 Afei, wotu fii hɔ kɔɔ Asubɔnten Arnon nkyɛn hɔ baabi a wɔne Amorifo bɔ hye. Asubɔnten Arnon na ɛyɛ ɔhye a ɛda Moabfo ne Amorifo ntam.
Basuka lapho bayamisa izihonqo zabo eduze le-Arinoni esenkangala eqhelela elizweni lama-Amori. I-Arinoni isemngceleni welaseMowabi, phakathi laphakathi kweMowabi kanye lama-Amori.
14 Ɛno nti na, wɔka wɔ Awurade akodi nhoma no mu se, asubɔnten Arnon subon ne kurow Waheb
Kungakho uGwalo lweziMpi zikaThixo lusithi: “Lokho akwenza oLwandle oLubomvu lakwenza emifuleni yeWahebhi eseSufa lemifuleni yase-Arinoni
15 da Amorifo ne Moabfo ntam.
lamawa ezindonga ehlela endaweni yase-Ari lasekela umngcele weMowabi.”
16 Israelfo no fi hɔ toaa wɔn akwantu no so kɔɔ Beer a ase ne “Abura.” Ɛha na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Frɛfrɛ nnipa no nyinaa bra na mɛma wɔn nsu.”
Besuka lapho baqhubeka baze bayafika eBheri, emthonjeni lapho uThixo athi kuMosi, “Buthanisa abantu ngibanike amanzi.”
17 Ɛhɔ na Israelfo too dwom yi, “Tue Ao, Abura! To ho dwom!
Ngakho abako-Israyeli bahlabela ingoma le ethi: “Mpompoza, wemthombo! Hlabelelani ngawo,
18 To dwom fa abura a mmapɔmma tutu no ho, sɛ nnipa mu akunini na wotitii mu; akunini a wokura ahempeaw ne pema.” Afei, Israelfo no fii sare no so kɔfaa Matana,
ngomthombo owenjiwa ngamakhosana, owenjiwa yizikhulu zabantu, izikhulu ezilentonga zobukhosi kanye lezinduku.” Basuka-ke enkangala bayafika eMathana,
19 Nahaliel ne Bamot,
besuka eMathana baya eNahaliyeli, besuka eNahaliyeli, baya eBhamothi,
20 na wɔkɔɔ Pisga atifi a ɛwɔ Moab bon no mu, baabi a wugyina a wuhu asase tamaa no.
kwathi besuka eBhamothi baqonda esigodini eMowabi, lapho isiqongo sentaba yasePhisiga esikhangele elizweni elilugwadule.
21 Israelfo no tuu abɔfo ma wɔde nkra kɔmaa Amorihene Sihon se:
U-Israyeli wathumela izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori wathi:
22 “Momma yentwa mu mfa mo man yi mu. Yɛbɛfa ɔtempɔn no so tee, na yɛremfi so kosi sɛ yɛbɛtra mo hye. Yɛrentiatia mo nnɔbae so, yɛremfa yɛn nsa nka mo bobe nturo, na yɛrennom mo abura mu nsu kosi sɛ yebefi mo man no mu.”
“Sivumele sidabule elizweni lakho. Kasiyikuphambukela loba lakuliphi icele ukuze singene loba kuwaphi amasimu akho kumbe isivini, loba ukunatha amanzi emthonjeni loba yiwuphi. Sizazihambela nje ngomgwaqo omkhulu weNkosi size sedlule elizweni lakho.”
23 Nanso ɔhene Sihon ampene so. Na mmom, ɔboaboaa nʼakofo ano kɔtow hyɛɛ Israelfo no so wɔ sare so hɔ ne wɔn koo wɔ Yahas.
Kodwa uSihoni kavumanga ukuthi u-Israyeli adabule elizweni lakhe. USihoni waqoqa ibutho lakhe waphuma waqonda enkangala ukuyahlasela u-Israyeli. Wathi esefikile eJahazi walwa lo-Israyeli.
24 Nanso Israelfo no kunkum wɔn faa wɔn asase a efi Asubɔnten Arnon kosi asu Yabok ho toaa so kosii Amorifo ahye so a na bammɔ wɔ hɔ no.
Kodwa u-Israyeli wamnqoba ngenkemba, wambhubhisa njalo wamthathela ilizwe lakhe kusukela e-Arinoni kusiya eJabhoki, kusiyafika elizweni lama-Amoni kuphela, ngoba umngcele walo wawuvikelwe ngemithangala.
25 Israelfo no faa Amorifo no nkurow akɛse nyinaa a Hesbon kuropɔn ne ne nkuraase nyinaa ka ho tenaa mu.
U-Israyeli wathatha wonke amadolobho ama-Amori wahlala kuwo, kwakugoqela iHeshibhoni kanye leziqinti ezaziyigombolozele.
26 Na Hesbon yɛ Amorihene Sihon kuropɔn. Sihon na da bi ɔko tiaa Moabhene faa ne nsase nyinaa besii Asubɔnten Arnon no.
IHeshibhoni kwakulidolobho likaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayelwe lenkosi yamaMowabi eyayikade ibusa khona wayinqoba wayithathela ilizwe layo lonke kuze kuyefika e-Arinoni.
27 Ne saa nti, tete anwensɛm kyerɛwfo kyerɛw eyi faa ne ho se, “Bra Hesbon, Sihon kuropɔn, yɛnkyekye na ensi ne dedaw mu.
Yingakho izimbongi zisithi: “Wozani eHeshibhoni; kayivuselelwe yakhiwe njalo; akuthi idolobho likaSihoni livuselelwe.
28 “Ogya turuw fii Hesbon Ogyaframa fii Sihon ahenkurow mu, Ɛhyew Ar kuropɔn a ɛwɔ Moab; ɛsɛee kurowmma a wɔwɔ Arnon mmepɔw so.
Umlilo wavutha eHeshibhoni ilangabi lavela edolobheni likaSihoni. Laqothula i-Ari laseMowabi, abantu basemiqolweni yase-Arinoni.
29 Ao Moabfo, mo sɛe bɛba mu! Wɔawie mo, mo a mosom Kemos! Wagyaw ne mmabarima sɛ atutenafo, Ne ne mmabea sɛ Amorihene Sihon nnommum.
Maye kuwe, Mowabi! Selibhujisiwe lina, Oh bantu baseKhemoshi! Usedele amadodana akhe njengeziphepheli lamadodakazi njengabathunjiweyo bethunjwa nguSihoni inkosi yama-Amori.
30 “Yɛatu wɔn agu, efi Hesbon tɔnn kosi Dibon. Yɛasɛe wɔn ara akosi Nofa De kɔ ara kosi Medeba.”
Kodwa thina sibehlule; iHeshibhoni siyitshabalalisile kuze kuyefika eDibhoni. Sibachithile kwaze kwaba seNofa, eqhelela eMedebha.”
31 Enti Israelfo no tenaa Amorifo asase no so.
Ngakho u-Israyeli wahlala elizweni lama-Amori.
32 Mose somaa akwansrafo sɛ wɔnkɔsrasra Yaser fa mu hɔ. Ɔde asraafo toaa wɔn, faa wɔn nkurow nyinaa, pam Amorifo no.
Ngemva kokuba uMosi esethumele inhloli eJazeri, abako-Israyeli bathumba iziqinti eziseduze njalo baxotsha ama-Amori ayehlala khona.
33 Afei, wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ kurow kɛse Basan, nanso Basanhene Og de nʼasraafo hyiaa wɔn wɔ Edrei.
Basebephenduka bahamba ngomgwaqo oya eBhashani. U-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani kanye lebutho lakhe lonke baphuma ukuyahlangana labako-Israyeli ukubahlasela e-Edreyi.
34 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Nsuro no, efisɛ mede nʼasraafo ne nʼasase nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa. Yɛ no sɛnea woyɛɛ Amorihene Sihon a odii Hesbon so no.”
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Ungamesabi, ngoba sengimnikele kuwe lamabutho akhe wonke kanye lelizwe lakhe. Menze konke owakwenza kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayebusa eHeshibhoni.”
35 Israelfo dii nkonim na wokum ɔhene Og ne ne mmabarima ne ne nkurɔfo nyinaa a anka wɔn mu baako mpo. Na Israelfo no faa nʼasase no.
Ngakho bambulala ndawonye lamadodana akhe kanye lebutho lakhe lonke, kakho loyedwa owaphephayo. Basebethatha ilizwe lakhe.
