5 Mose 1
1 Yei ne nsɛm a Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa wɔ ɛserɛ no so wɔ Yordan apueeɛ. Wɔbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Yordan bɔnhwa a ɛbɛn Suf, wɔ Paran, Tofel, Laban, Haserot ne Di-Sahab ntam no.
La ngamazwi uMozisi awakhuluma kuIsrayeli wonke nganeno kweJordani enkangala, egcekeni eliqondene leSufi, phakathi kweParani leTofeli leLabani leHazerothi leDizahabi.
2 Ɛfiri Horeb de kɔ Kades-Barnea no, ɛkwan a ɛfa bepɔ Seir no yɛ nnafua dubaako kwan.
Kulensuku ezilitshumi lanye kusukela eHorebe ngendlela yentaba yeSeyiri kusiya eKadeshi-Bhaneya.
3 Israelfoɔ firii Bepɔ Sinai no, afe a ɛtɔ so aduanan no bosome dubaako no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, Mose kaa nsɛm a Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ no pɛpɛɛpɛ kyerɛɛ wɔn.
Kwasekusithi ngomnyaka wamatshumi amane, ngenyanga yetshumi lanye, ngolokuqala lwenyanga, uMozisi wakhuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli njengakho konke iNkosi eyamlaya ngakho kubo,
4 Ɔkaa saa asɛm yi wɔ ɛberɛ a na wɔadi Amorifoɔ ɔhene Sihon a na ɔdi adeɛ wɔ Hesbon ne Basanhene Og a na ɔdi adeɛ wɔ Astarot ne Edrei so nkonim.
esemtshayile uSihoni inkosi yamaAmori owayehlala eHeshiboni, loOgi inkosi yeBashani owayehlala eAshitarothi eEdreyi.
5 Yordan agya a ɛwɔ Moab asase so na Mose firii aseɛ kyerɛkyerɛɛ mmara no mu sɛ:
Nganeno kweJordani, elizweni lakoMowabi, uMozisi waqala ukuchasisa lumlayo esithi:
6 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ yɛn wɔ Horeb sɛ: “Moatena saa bepɔ yi so akyɛre dodo.
INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yakhuluma kithi eHorebe isithi: Selihlale isikhathi eseneleyo kulintaba.
7 Montutu nkɔtena Amorifoɔ nkokoɔ so; monkɔtena nnipa a wɔbemmɛn Araba mmepɔ no mu ne atɔeɛ mmepɔ ayaase nyinaa mu; monkɔ Negeb na momfa mpoano nkɔsi Kanaanfoɔ asase so ne Lebanon nkɔduru Asubɔnten Eufrate ho.
Phendukani lisuke, liye entabeni yamaAmori, lendaweni ezakhelene lawo, egcekeni, entabeni, lesihotsheni, leningizimu, lekhunjini lolwandle, ilizwe lamaKhanani, leLebhanoni, kuze kube semfuleni omkhulu, umfula iYufrathi.
8 Montie! Mede saa asase yi ama mo. Monkɔ na monkɔfa asase a Awurade hyɛɛ bɔ sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ne wɔn asefoɔ no.”
Bonani, ngibeke ilizwe phambi kwenu. Ngenani, lidle ilifa lelizwe iNkosi eyalifungela oyihlo, oAbrahama, uIsaka, loJakobe, ukubanika lona lenzalo yabo emva kwabo.
9 Saa ɛberɛ no, meka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Me nko ara merentumi nyɛ mo ho adwuma.
Njalo ngakhuluma kini ngalesosikhathi ngisithi: Kangilakulithwala ngingedwa.
10 Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ama moadɔre enti ɛnnɛ yi, mo ase afɛe te sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma.
INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ilandisile, khangelani-ke, lamuhla linjengenkanyezi zamazulu ngobunengi.
11 Awurade mo agyanom Onyankopɔn mma mo nnɔre mmɔho mpempem na ɔnhyira mo sɛdeɛ wahyɛ mo bɔ no.
INkosi, uNkulunkulu waboyihlo, kayandise kini, njengoba linjalo, ngokuphindwe kankulungwane, ilibusise, njengokukhuluma kwayo kini.
12 Na ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na me nko mɛtumi masoa mo haw ne mo nnesoa ne mo aperedie?
Ngingedwa ngingathwala njani ubunzima benu lomthwalo wenu lenkani yenu?
13 Monyi mmarima bi a wɔwɔ nyansa, nteaseɛ, na wɔwɔ edin pa mfiri abusuakuo biara mu na memfa wɔn ntuatua mo ano.”
Zithatheleni amadoda ahlakaniphileyo, azwisisayo, laziwayo ezizweni zenu, ngiwabeke-ke abe zinhloko zenu.
14 Mobuaa me sɛ, “Dwuma a woasusu sɛ wobɛdi no yɛ.”
Laselingiphendula lisithi: Ilizwi olikhulumileyo lilungile ukulenza.
15 Enti, mede mo mmusuakuo mu mmarima atitire, anyansafoɔ a wɔn anim wɔ nyam no tuatuaa mo ano apem apem, ɔha ɔha, aduonum aduonum ne edu edu so mpanin ne mo mmusuakuo so sɛ ahwɛfoɔ.
Ngasengithatha inhloko zezizwe zenu, amadoda ahlakaniphileyo, aziwayo, ngawabeka aba zinhloko phezu kwenu, induna zezinkulungwane, lenduna zamakhulu, lenduna zamatshumi amahlanu, lenduna zamatshumi, leziphathamandla zezizwe zenu.
16 Na atemmufoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ saa ɛberɛ no nso, mehyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, sɛ akasakasa ba anuanom ntam, sɛ asɛm no yɛ Israelni ne ne nua bi anaa Israelni ne ɔhɔhoɔ bi a, monhwɛ na mommu atɛntenenee.
Ngasengilaya abahluleli benu ngalesosikhathi ngisithi: Zwanini okuphakathi kwabafowenu, lahlulele ngokulunga phakathi komuntu lomfowabo lowezizweni okuye.
17 Mo atemmuo mu, mommmu ntɛnkyea. Montie ɔketewa ne ɔkɛseɛ pɛ. Monnsuro onipa biara, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn na ɔbu atɛn. Asɛm a ɛyɛ den ma mo no, momfa mmrɛ me na menni.
Lingakhangeli ubuso ekwahluleleni, zwanini omncinyane njengomkhulu; lingesabi ubuso bomuntu, ngoba ukwahlulela kungokukaNkulunkulu. Lendaba elukhuni kini lizayiletha kimi, besengiyizwa.
18 Na saa ɛberɛ no, mekaa biribiara a ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ kyerɛɛ mo.
Langalesosikhathi ngalilaya zonke izinto elifanele ukuzenza.
19 Na sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ yɛn no, yɛfirii Horeb de yɛn ani kyerɛɛ Amorifoɔ bepɔ a yɛnam ɛserɛ pradada a moahunu no so kɔduruu Kades-Barnea.
Sasesisuka eHorebe, sahamba kuyo yonke leyonkangala enkulu leyesabekayo elayibonayo ngendlela yentaba yamaAmori, njengokusilaya kweNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, saze safika eKadeshi-Bhaneya.
20 Afei, meka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, “Moaduru Amorifoɔ bepɔman a Awurade de rema yɛn no so.
Ngasengisithi kini: Selifikile entabeni yamaAmori iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezasinika yona.
21 Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de asase no ama mo. Momforo nkɔfa sɛdeɛ Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn, ka kyerɛɛ mo no. Monnsuro: mommma obi ntu mo aba mu.”
Bona, iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ilinikile ilizwe phambi kwakho; yenyuka udle ilifa lalo, njengokutsho kweNkosi uNkulunkulu waboyihlo kuwe; ungesabi, ungadideki.
22 Ɛnna mo nyinaa baa me nkyɛn bɛkaa sɛ, “Momma yɛnsoma mmarima nni yɛn anim na wɔnkɔsra asase no mma yɛn na wɔmmɛka deɛ wɔbɛhunu nkyerɛ yɛn na ɛno na ɛbɛkyerɛ yɛn ɛkwan ne nkuro ko a yɛbɛfa so.”
Laselisondela kimi lonke lathi: Asithume amadoda phambi kwethu ukuze asihlolele ilizwe, abuyise ilizwi kithi, indlela esizakwenyuka ngayo, lemizi esizangena kuyo.
23 Na saa nsusuiɛ yi yɛ ma me enti meyii akwansrafoɔ dumienu a ɔbaako biara firi mo mmusuakuo dumienu no mu.
Lendaba yayinhle emehlweni ami; ngakho ngathatha kini amadoda alitshumi lambili, indodanye ngesizwe.
24 Wɔforoo bepɔ no na wɔkɔduruu Eskol subɔnhwa mu sraa hɔ.
Wona aphenduka, enyukela entabeni aze afika esihotsheni seEshikoli, asihlola.
25 Na wɔfaa asase no so aba bi de brɛɛ yɛn. Na wɔkaa sɛ, asase a Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn no yɛ asase pa.
Asethatha okwezithelo zelizwe esandleni sabo, azehlisela kithi; abuyisa ilizwi kithi athi: Ilizwe lihle iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu esinika lona.
26 Nanso, na mompɛ sɛ moforo kɔ soro. Motee Awurade asɛm so atua.
Kanti kalifunanga ukwenyuka, kodwa lavukela umlomo weNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu,
27 Monwiinwii wɔ mo ntomadan mu kaa sɛ, “Awurade tan yɛn enti na ɔde yɛn firi Misraim de yɛn abɛhyɛ Amorifoɔ nsam sɛ wɔnkunkum yɛn.
langunguna emathenteni enu lathi: Ngoba iNkosi yayisizonda, yasikhupha elizweni leGibhithe ukusinikela esandleni samaAmori ukusibhubhisa.
28 Yɛrekɔ no sɛn? Yɛn akwansrafoɔ no amanneɛbɔ no abu yɛn aba mu. ‘Wɔka sɛ asase no so nnipa yɛ atentene ahoɔdenfoɔ sene yɛn. Wɔn nkuro yɛ akɛseɛ a afasuo a wɔatoto afa ho no kɔ ɔsorosoro. Na mpo, yɛhunuu Anakfoɔ mma no bi wɔ hɔ!’”
Sizakwenyukela ngaphi? Abafowethu benze inhliziyo yethu iphele amandla besithi: Abantu bakhulu bade kulathi; imizi mikhulu, ibiyelwe ngemithangala efika emazulwini; futhi-ke sibonile khona amadodana amaAnaki.
29 Na meka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, “Monnsuro!
Ngasengisithi kini: Lingatshaywa luvalo, libesabe.
30 Awurade di mo anim. Ɔbɛko ama mo sɛdeɛ mohunuu no sɛ ɔyɛɛ wɔ Misraim no.
INkosi uNkulunkulu wenu ehamba phambi kwenu, yona izalilwela njengakho konke eyalenzela khona eGibhithe phambi kwamehlo enu,
31 Na mohunuu nso sɛdeɛ Awurade kɔɔ so hwɛɛ mo ntoatoasoɔ wɔ ɛserɛ so ha sɛdeɛ agya hwɛ ne ba no. Afei, ɔde mo abɛduru beaeɛ ha.”
lenkangala, lapho obone khona ukuthi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yakuthwala njengendoda ithwala indodana yayo, endleleni yonke elahamba ngayo laze lafika kulindawo.
32 Nanso, deɛ ɔyɛ maa mo no nyinaa akyi no, moannye Awurade anni.
Kodwa ngalelilizwi kalikholwanga iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu
33 Ɔdii mo anim pɛɛ beaeɛ pa maa mo tenaeɛ, de ogyadum kyerɛɛ mo ɛkwan anadwo de omununkum dum kyerɛɛ mo ɛkwan awia.
eyahamba phambi kwenu endleleni, ukulidingela indawo ukuze limise inkamba, ngomlilo ebusuku, ukulitshengisa indlela elizahamba ngayo, langeyezi emini.
34 Awurade tee sɛ morenwiinwii no, ne bo fuu yie na ɔkaa ntam sɛ,
Kwathi iNkosi isizwile ilizwi lamazwi enu, yathukuthela yafunga yathi:
35 “Saa awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ bɔne yi mu, onipa baako koraa nni hɔ a ɔbɛhunu asase pa a maka ho ntam sɛ mede bɛma mo agyanom
Isibili kakho kulamadoda alesisizukulwana esibi ozabona ilizwe elihle engafunga ukulinika oyihlo,
36 agye Yefune babarima Kaleb. Ɔno na ɔbɛhunu saa asase yi. Mede asase a ne nan sii so no bɛma ɔne nʼasefoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wadi Awurade akyi nokorɛm.”
ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune; yena uzalibona. Njalo ngizanika kuye ilizwe anyathela kulo, lakubantwana bakhe, ngoba ulandele iNkosi ngokupheleleyo.
37 Me nso, ɛsiane mo enti, Awurade bo fuu me. Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Wo nan rensi Bɔhyɛ Asase no so da!
Lami iNkosi yangithukuthelela ngenxa yenu, isithi: Lawe kawuyikungena khona.
38 Na mmom, wo ɔboafoɔ Nun babarima Yosua na ɔbɛdi ɔmanfoɔ no anim akɔ asase no so. Na sɛ ɔreboa ne ho akɔ hɔ a, hyɛ no nkuran.
UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni oma phambi kwakho, yena uzangena khona; mqinise, ngoba yena uzakwenza uIsrayeli adle ilifa lalo.
39 Mede asase no bɛma wo mma a wɔnnim biribiara. Wo mma a wɔnnim papa nnim bɔne no. Na mosuro sɛ wɔbɛfa wɔn nnommum, nanso wɔn na mede asase no bɛma wɔn. Wɔn na wɔbɛtena asase no so.
Labantwanyana benu elalisithi bazakuba yimpango, labantwana benu, abangaziyo lamuhla okuhle lokubi, bona bazangena khona; lakubo ngizalinika, bona-ke bazakudla ilifa lalo.
40 Na mo deɛ, monnane mo ani nkɔ ɛserɛ so a ɛrekɔ Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no so hɔ.”
Kodwa lina ziphendukeleni, lisuke liye enkangala, indlela yoLwandle oluBomvu.
41 Ɛnna mogye too mu sɛ “Yɛayɛ bɔne atia Awurade. Yɛbɛkɔ asase no so akɔko sɛdeɛ Awurade aka akyerɛ yɛn no.” Enti, wɔfaa wɔn akodeɛ miaeɛ. Na wɔgye di sɛ ɛhɔ sodie bɛyɛ mmerɛ ama wɔn.
Laseliphendula lisithi kimi: Sonile eNkosini; thina sizakwenyuka siyekulwa, njengakho konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu eyasilaya khona. Selihlomile, ngulowo lalowo isikhali sakhe sempi, lacabanga ukuthi kulula ukwenyukela entabeni.
42 Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Mma wɔnnkɔko, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔkɔ a merenni wɔn akyi. Wɔn atamfoɔ no bɛdi wɔn so.’”
INkosi yasisithi kimi: Tshono kubo: Lingenyuki, lingalwi, ngoba kangikho phakathi kwenu, hlezi litshaywe phambi kwezitha zenu.
43 Asɛm a meka kyerɛɛ mo ni, nanso moantie. Na mmom, mosɔre tiaa Awurade ahyɛdeɛ no bio nam ahomasoɔ so kɔɔ asase no so kɔkoeɛ.
Ngasengikhuluma kini, kodwa kalilalelanga, lavukela umlomo weNkosi, laqholoza lenyukela entabeni.
44 Amorifoɔ a wɔte bepɔ no so nso sɔre baa sɛ nwowa ne mo koeɛ. Wɔtaa mo kunkumm mo firii Seir kɔduruu Horma.
Kwathi amaAmori ayehlala entabeni leyo aphuma ukumelana lani, alixotsha njengokwenziwa zinyosi, alihlakaza eSeyiri, kwaze kwaba seHorma.
45 Afei, mosane baa mo akyi bɛsuu wɔ Awurade anim, nanso wantie.
Laselibuya, lakhala inyembezi phambi kweNkosi, kodwa iNkosi kayilizwanga ilizwi lenu, kayibekanga indlebe kini.
46 Enti, motenaa Kades nna bebree.
Laselihlala eKadeshi insuku ezinengi, njengensuku elahlala ngazo.
