1 Awurade Apam Adaka no dii Filistifoɔ asase so abosome nson.
Na rĩrĩ, ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova rĩarĩkia gũikara bũrũri wa Afilisti mĩeri mũgwanja-rĩ,
2 Na Filistifoɔ no frɛɛ wɔn asɔfoɔ ne wɔn nsamanfrɛfoɔ bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛdeɛn na yɛnyɛ Awurade Apam Adaka yi? Monkyerɛ yɛn ɛkwan a yɛmfa so nsane mfa nkɔ asase a ɛfiri soɔ no so.”
Afilisti magĩĩta athĩnjĩri-ngai na aragũri, makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Tũgwĩka atĩa na ithandũkũ rĩĩrĩ rĩa Jehova? Twĩrei ũrĩa tũngĩrĩcookia kũrĩa rĩoimĩte.”
3 Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monsane mfa Israel Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no nkɔ baabi a mokɔfaa no, na momfa akyɛdeɛ nka ho. Momfa afɔdie afɔdeɛ nka ho, na ama ɔyaredɔm no agyae. Na sɛ ɔyaredɔm no annyae a, ɛbɛma moahunu sɛ ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn na ɔde baeɛ.”
Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũngĩkorwo nĩ mũgũcookia ithandũkũ rĩa ngai ya Isiraeli, mũtikarĩcookie rĩrĩ itheri, no nginya mũrĩtũme na kĩndũ gĩa kũrutwo iruta rĩa mahĩtia. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkaahona, na mũmenye kĩrĩa gĩtũmĩte guoko gwake kwage kweherio igũrũ rĩanyu.”
4 Wɔbisaa sɛ, “Ɛnneɛ, na afɔdie afɔdeɛ bɛn na yɛmfa nkɔ?” Na wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Esiane sɛ ɔyaredɔm no abɔ mo ne mo sodifoɔ baanum enti, monyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ te sɛ mpɔmpɔ sɛso enum ne sikakɔkɔɔ akusie sɛso enum te sɛ deɛ sodifoɔ no dodoɔ teɛ.
Afilisti makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ iruta rĩrĩkũ rĩa mahĩtia tũngĩmĩrutĩra?” Nao magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũmĩhiano tũtano twa thahabu tũhaana mahũha, na tũtano twa thahabu tũhaana tũbĩa o ta ũrĩa aathani a Afilisti maigana, nĩ ũndũ inyuĩ na aathani anyu mũhũũrĩtwo na mũthiro mũthemba o ũmwe.
5 Monyɛ saa nneɛma yi nyinaa fa nkyerɛ anidie a mowɔ ma Israel Onyankopɔn. Na ebia, ɔbɛgyae mo, mo anyame ne mo asase amanehunu no.
Thondekai tũmĩhiano twa mahũha na twa tũbĩa iria irathũkia bũrũri, na mũtĩĩe ngai ya Isiraeli. No gũkorwo nĩakeheria guoko gwake kuume igũrũ rĩanyu, o na igũrũ rĩa ngai cianyu, o na bũrũri wanyu.
6 Monnyɛ asoɔden, nnyɛ adɔnyɛfoɔ, sɛdeɛ Farao ne Misraimfoɔ yɛeɛ no. Wɔamma Israelfoɔ ankɔ kɔsii sɛ Onyankopɔn maa ɔyaredɔm te guu wɔn so.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũmie ngoro cianyu ta ũrĩa andũ a Misiri na Firaũni meekire? Rĩrĩa aamahinyĩrĩirie-rĩ, githĩ matiarekereirie andũ a Isiraeli nĩguo mathiĩ?
7 “Afei, monyɛ teaseɛnam foforɔ, na monhwehwɛ anantwibereɛ mmienu a afei na wɔawo mma foforɔ. Monhwɛ sɛ wɔntwee teaseɛnam da. Momfa anantwie no nsesa teaseɛnam no na montete wɔn mma no mfiri wɔn ho, mfa wɔn nkɔgu wɔn buo mu.
“Na rĩrĩ, haarĩriai ngaari njerũ, na ngʼombe igĩrĩ njiairĩ itarĩ ciohwo icooki. Muoherere ngʼombe icio ngaari-inĩ ĩyo, no mweherie njaũ ciacio mũcihingĩre kiugũ.
8 Momfa Awurade Apam Adaka no nsi teaseɛnam no mu, na momfa adakawa a sikakɔkɔɔ akusie sɛso ne sikakɔkɔɔ mpɔmpɔ sɛso wɔ mu no nsi nkyɛn. Afei, momma anantwie no nkɔ baabiara a wɔpɛ.
Oyai ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova mũrĩigĩrĩre igũrũ rĩa ngaari, na mũige gathandũkũ mwena-inĩ warĩo na mũgekĩre indo icio cia thahabu icio mũramĩcookeria irĩ cia iruta rĩa mahĩtia. Rekei rĩthiĩ,
9 Na sɛ wɔtra yɛn asase hyeɛ, na wɔkɔduru Bet-Semes a, ɛbɛma yɛahunu sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔde saa amanehunu kɛseɛ yi baa yɛn so. Na sɛ amma no saa a, yɛbɛhunu sɛ saa ɔyaredɔm a ɛbaa yɛn so no yɛ akwanhyia bi, na mmom, ɛmfiri Awurade, ɛkwan biara so.”
no mũikare mũrĩrorete. Rĩngĩambata rĩkinye bũrũri warĩo, rĩerekeire Bethi-Shemeshu-rĩ, nĩgũgatuĩka atĩ nĩ Jehova ũtũrehereire mũtino ũyũ mũnene ũũ. No kũngĩkorwo ti ũguo, nĩtũkamenya atĩ ti guoko gwake gwatũhũũrire, no nĩ ũndũ watũkorire o ũguo.”
10 Wɔyɛɛ saa. Wɔfaa anantwie mmienu a wɔawo foforɔ de wɔn saa teaseɛnam no so, na wɔde wɔn mma no guu buo mu.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩĩka ũguo. Makĩoya ngʼombe icio igĩrĩ magĩcioherera ngaari-inĩ, na makĩhingĩra njaũ ciacio kiugũ.
11 Wɔde Awurade Apam Adaka no sii teaseɛnam no mu. Wɔde adakawa a sikakɔkɔɔ akusie sɛso ne sikakɔkɔɔ mpɔmpɔ sɛso wɔ mu no sii ho.
Makĩigĩrĩra ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova igũrũ rĩa ngaari, na hamwe narĩo makĩigĩrĩra gathandũkũ karĩa kaarĩ na tũbĩa tũu twa thahabu na tũmĩhiano tũu twahaanaga mahũha.
12 Afei, anantwie no de su faa tempɔn a ɛkɔ Bet-Semes no so tee. Filistifoɔ sodifoɔ dii wɔn akyi ara kɔsii Bet-Semes hyeɛ so.
Ningĩ ngʼombe icio ikĩambata irũngĩrĩirie irorete Bethi-Shemeshu, igĩthiĩ na njĩra yothe ikĩanagia; itiakerũrire na mwena wa ũrĩo kana wa ũmotho. Nao aathani a Afilisti magĩcirũmĩrĩra o nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa Bethi-Shemeshu.
13 Saa ɛberɛ no, na Bet-Semesfoɔ retwa wɔn atokoɔ wɔ bɔnhwa no mu. Enti, wɔpagyaa wɔn ani hunuu Adaka no, wɔdii ahurisie.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ a Bethi-Shemeshu nĩ kũgetha maagethaga ngano yao kĩanda-inĩ, na rĩrĩa maatiirire maitho makĩona ithandũkũ rĩa Ngai, magĩkena nĩkũrĩona.
14 Teaseɛnam no kɔduruu ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛ no Yosua a ɔfiri Bet-Semes afuo mu no, ɛgyinaa ɔbotan kɛseɛ bi ho. Nnipa no twitwaa nnua a wɔde yɛɛ teaseɛnam no mu. Na wɔde anantwie no bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade.
Nayo ngaari ĩgĩkinya mũgũnda-inĩ wa Joshua wa kũu Bethi-Shemeshu, nayo ĩkĩrũgama hakuhĩ na ihiga inene. Andũ acio magĩatũranga mĩtĩ ya ngaari ĩyo, na makĩrutĩra Jehova ngʼombe icio igongona rĩa njino.
15 Lewifoɔ no mu bebree faa adaka no ne adakawa a sika agudeɛ wɔ mu no, na wɔde guu ɔbotan kɛseɛ no so. Saa ɛda no, Bet-Semesfoɔ bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aduane afɔdeɛ bebree maa Awurade.
Nao Alawii makĩruta ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova hamwe na gathandũkũ ka mĩhiano ĩyo ya thahabu, makĩmĩigĩrĩra igũrũ rĩa ihiga rĩu inene. Mũthenya ũcio andũ a Bethi-Shemeshu makĩruta ngʼombe icio irĩ igongona rĩa njino harĩ Jehova.
16 Filistifoɔ sodifoɔ baanum no hwɛɛ yeinom nyinaa, na ɛda no ara, wɔsane kɔɔ Ekron.
Aathani acio atano a Afilisti makĩĩonera maũndũ macio mothe, na magĩcooka Ekironi mũthenya o ro ũcio.
17 Sikakɔkɔɔ mpɔmpɔ sɛso a Filistifoɔ no de kɔɔ sɛ asodie afɔdeɛ, de maa Awurade no yɛ akyɛdeɛ a ɛfiri Asdod, Gasa, Askelon, Gat ne Ekron sodifoɔ nkyɛn.
Ĩno nĩyo mĩhiano ya mahũha ma thahabu ĩrĩa Afilisti maatũmire ĩrĩ igongona rĩa mahĩtia rĩa kũrutĩrwo Jehova: Mũhiano o ũmwe warutagwo nĩ ũndũ wa o itũũra: Ashidodi, na Gaza, na Ashikeloni, na Gathu, na Ekironi.

Naguo mũigana wa mbĩa cia thahabu waiganaga o ta matũũra ma Afilisti ma aathani acio atano, matũũra macio maairigĩirwo na thingo cia hinya hamwe na tũtũũra twa bũrũri wao. Narĩo ihiga rĩu inene harĩa maigĩrĩire ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova, nĩ mũira nginya ũmũthĩ rĩrĩ kũu mũgũnda-inĩ ũcio wa Joshua wa kũu Bethi-Shemeshu.

No Ngai akĩũraga andũ amwe a kũu Bethi-Shemeshu, akĩũraga andũ mĩrongo mũgwanja nĩ ũndũ nĩmarorire ithandũkũ rĩa Jehova thĩinĩ. Andũ makĩrĩra nĩ ũndũ wa ihũũra rĩu inene Jehova aamahũũrĩte narĩo,
20 Wɔsu bisaa sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛtumi agyina Awurade, Ɔkronkronni Onyankopɔn anim? Ɛhe na yɛbɛtumi de adaka yi afiri ha akɔ?”

21 Enti, wɔsomaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Kiriat-Yearimfoɔ nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Filistifoɔ no asane de Awurade Apam Adaka no aba. Yɛsrɛ mo, mommra ha mmɛgye!”
