5 Mose 2
1 Afei, yɛsane yɛn akyi de yɛn ani kyerɛɛ ɛserɛ so wɔ baabi a Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no da hɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no. Yɛnantenante faa Seir bepɔ ho nna bebree.
Sasesiphenduka, sasuka saya enkangala, indlela yoLwandle oluBomvu, njengokutsho kweNkosi kimi; njalo sayibhoda intaba yeSeyiri insuku ezinengi.
2 Akyire no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ,
INkosi yasikhuluma kimi isithi:
3 “Moatwa afa saa bepɔ yi ho akyɛre yie enti monnane mo ani nkyerɛ atifi fam.
Selibhode intaba le okweneleyo; phendukelani lina enyakatho.
4 Hyɛ ɔman no sɛ, ‘Mobɛfa mo nuanom Edomfoɔ a wɔyɛ Esau asefoɔ a wɔte Seir no asase so. Edomfoɔ no bɛsuro mo, nanso monhwɛ yie.
Balaye-ke abantu usithi: Lidabula umngcele wabafowenu, abantwana bakaEsawu abahlala eSeyiri. Njalo bazalesaba, ngakho lizinanzelele kakhulu,
5 Monnhyɛ wɔn abufuo a ɛde ɔko bɛba, na meremfa wɔn nsase no mu biara mma mo; mpo, baabi a mode mo nan bɛtia, ɛfiri sɛ, mede Seir bepɔ kuro ama Esau sɛ nʼatenaeɛ.
lingalwi labo; ngoba kangiyikulinika okwelizwe labo, lelingangokunyathela kwangaphansi konyawo, ngoba ngimnikile uEsawu intaba yeSeyiri ibe yilifa.
6 Aduane biara a mobɛdi ne nsuo biara a mobɛnom no, montua wɔn ho ka.’”
Lizathenga ukudla kubo ngemali ukuze lidle, lithenge kubo lamanzi ngemali ukuze linathe.
7 Awurade ahyira mo nsa ano nnwuma nyinaa. Wahwɛ mo so wɔ mo akwantuo wɔ ɛserɛ kakraa yi nyinaa so. Saa mfeɛ aduanan yi nyinaa mu, Awurade aka mo ho na hwee ho anhia mo.
Ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ikubusisile emsebenzini wonke wesandla sakho; iyazi ukuhamba kwakho kulinkangala enkulu. Le iminyaka engamatshumi amane iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ibilawe, kawuswelanga lutho.
8 Yɛtwa faa yɛn nuanom a wɔyɛ Esau asefoɔ a wɔte Seir no ho. Yɛfaa Araba subɔnhwa ɛkwan no a ɛfiri Elat ne Esion-Geber no so na yɛbɛfaa Moab ɛserɛ so ɛkwan no so.
Uba sisedlula sisuka kubafowethu, abantwana bakaEsawu abahlala eSeyiri, ngendlela yegceke sisuke eElathi njalo sisuka eEziyoni-Geberi, saphenduka, sadlula ngendlela yenkangala yakoMowabi.
9 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Monnha Moabfoɔ no anaa monnteetee wɔn sɛdeɛ ɛde ɔko bɛba, na meremfa wɔn nsase no mu biara mma mo. Ɛfiri sɛ, mede Ar ama Lot asefoɔ sɛ agyapadeɛ.”
INkosi yasisithi kimi: Ungahlukuluzi uMowabi, ungalwi labo empini; ngoba kangiyikukunika okwelizwe labo kube yilifa, ngoba ngibanikile abantwana bakaLothi iAri ibe yilifa.
10 Kane no na Emifoɔ na wɔte hɔ. Na wɔsoso na wɔdɔɔso a wɔwoware te sɛ Anakfoɔ no.
Kwakuhlala khona endulo amaEmi, abantu abakhulu, labanengi, labade, njengamaAnaki;
11 Wɔn nso, na wɔyɛ abrane sɛ Anakfoɔ no ara pɛ, a na wɔfrɛ wɔn Refaimfoɔ, nanso Moabfoɔ deɛ, na wɔfrɛ wɔn Emifoɔ.
babebalwa njengeziqhwaga labo njengamaAnaki, kodwa amaMowabi ababiza ngokuthi ngamaEmi.
12 Kane no na Horifoɔ na wɔte Seir, nanso Esau asefoɔ tuu wɔn firii hɔ. Wɔsɛee Horifoɔ no tenaa wɔn ananmu sɛdeɛ Israel yɛɛ wɔ asase a Awurade de maa wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no so no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
LamaHori ayehlala eSeyiri endulo, kodwa abantwana bakaEsawu bawakhupha emfuyweni yabo, bawachitha phambi kwabo, bahlala endaweni yawo, njengokwenza kukaIsrayeli elizweni lelifa lakhe, iNkosi eyabanika lona.
13 Awurade kaa sɛ, “Afei, sɔre na kɔtwa asuwa Sered no.” Na yɛkɔtwaa asuwa Sered.
Khathesi, sukumani lina lichaphe isifula iZeredi. Ngakho sachapha isifula iZeredi.
14 Na nna dodoɔ a yɛde nante firi Kades-Barnea bɛsii sɛ yɛtwaa asuwa Sered no yɛ mfirinhyia aduasa nwɔtwe. Saa ɛberɛ no, na mmarima a wɔanyinyini yie a wɔbɛtumi akɔ ɔko no nyinaa awuwu wɔ ɛserɛ no so sɛdeɛ Awurade kaeɛ no.
Lensuku esahamba ngazo sisuka eKadeshi-Bhaneya saze sachapha isifula iZeredi zaziyiminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lesificaminwembili, kwaze kwaphela isizukulwana sonke samadoda empi sisuka phakathi kwenkamba, njengokufunga kweNkosi kuwo.
15 Na Awurade nsa tiaa wɔn ara kɔsi sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛwuwuu wɔ wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ.
Ngoba isibili isandla seNkosi sasimelene lawo, ukuwachitha esuka phakathi kwenkamba, aze aphela.
16 Akofoɔ no nyinaa wuwu firii nnipa no mu pɛ,
Kwasekusithi lapho wonke amadoda empi esephelile esifa esuka phakathi kwabantu,
17 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ,
INkosi yasikhuluma kimi isithi:
18 “Ɛnnɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wofa Ar kɔsi Moab mantam mu.
Lamuhla uzakwedlula iAri, umngcele wakoMowabi,
19 Na sɛ woduru Amonfoɔ mu a, nha wɔn anaa nhyɛ wɔn ahometeɛ a ɛde wɔn bɛkɔ ɔko mu, ɛfiri sɛ, meremma mo Amorifoɔ nsase no bi. Mede ama Lot asefoɔ sɛ agyapadeɛ.”
lapho ususondele maqondana labantwana bakoAmoni, ungabahlukuluzi, ungalwi labo, ngoba kangiyikukunika okwelizwe labantwana bakoAmoni kube yilifa, ngoba ngilinike abantwana bakaLothi libe yilifa.
20 Saa beaeɛ hɔ na abrane akɛseɛ a na Amonfoɔ frɛ wɔn Samsumin no na wɔte kane no.
Lalelo labalwa njengelizwe leziqhwaga. Iziqhwaga zahlala kulo endulo, kodwa amaAmoni bazibiza ngokuthi ngamaZamuzumu;
21 Na wɔyɛ nnipa ahoɔdenfoɔ a wɔdɔɔso na wɔwoware te sɛ Anakfoɔ no. Na Awurade sɛee Samsumifoɔ no wɔ Amonfoɔ anim ma wɔtuu wɔn tenaa wɔn anan mu.
abantu abakhulu, labanengi, labade, njengamaAnaki; kodwa iNkosi yabachitha phambi kwabo, babakhupha emfuyweni yabo, bahlala endaweni yabo,
22 Saa ara na Awurade sɛee Horifoɔ wɔ Esau asefoɔ a na wɔte Seir no anim ma wɔtuu wɔn, tenaa wɔn anan mu de bɛsi ɛnnɛ yi.
njengalokho eyakwenzela abantwana bakaEsawu, ababehlala eSeyiri, lapho yawachitha amaHori esuka phambi kwabo, bawakhupha emfuyweni yabo, bahlala endaweni yawo kuze kube lamuhla.
23 Na Awifoɔ nso a wɔtenaa nkuraa nkuraa hwete kɔduruu Gasa no nso, Kaftorfoɔ a wɔfiri Kaftor bɛsɛee wɔn, tenaa wɔn anan mu.
LamaAvi, ayehlala eHazerimi kuze kube seGaza; amaKafitori, aphuma eKafitori, awachitha, ahlala endaweni yawo.
24 “Sɔre kɔtwa Arnon subonhwa. Mede Hesbonhene Sihon a ɔyɛ Amorini no ne nʼasase ahyɛ wo nsa. Kɔto hyɛ ne so, na monko, na fa nʼasase no.
Sukumani, lisuke lichaphe isifula iArinoni. Bona, nginikele esandleni sakho uSihoni, inkosi yeHeshiboni, umAmori, lelizwe lakhe; qala ukudla ilifa lalo, ulwe laye empini.
25 Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ yi ara, mede mo ho suro ne hu bɛhyɛ aman a wɔwɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa mu. Wɔbɛte mo ho nsɛm na wɔn ho bɛpopo na mo enti, wɔanya adwenemhaw.”
Lamuhla ngizaqalisa ukufaka uvalo ngawe lokwesabeka kwakho phezu kobuso bezizwe, ngaphansi kwamazulu wonke, ezizakuzwa umbiko ngawe, zithuthumele, ziqhaqhazele ngenxa yakho.
26 Metuu abɔfoɔ firii Kedemot ɛserɛ so kɔɔ Hesbonhene Sihon nkyɛn asomdwoeɛ so kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
Ngasengithuma izithunywa zisuka enkangala yeKedemothi kuSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni, zilamazwi okuthula, zisithi:
27 “Ma yɛntwam wʼasase so ha. Yɛbɛfa ɛkwan tempɔn mu a yɛremmane mfa benkum anaa nifa so baabiara.
Ake ngidabule elizweni lakho; ngizahamba ngomgwaqo kuphela, ngingaphambukeli ngakwesokunene loba ngakwesokhohlo.
28 Tɔn aduane ma yɛnni na tɔn nsuo nso ma yɛnnom. Deɛ yɛrehwehwɛ ara ne ɛkwan a wobɛma yɛn ama yɛatwam wɔ wʼasase so,
Uzangithengisela ukudla ngemali ukuze ngidle, ungiphe amanzi ngemali ukuze nginathe; kuphela ngizadabula ngenyawo zami,
29 sɛdeɛ Esau asefoɔ a na wɔte Seir ne Moabfoɔ a na wɔte Ar yɛɛ yɛn no. Ma yɛntwam nkɔsi sɛ yɛbɛtwam Yordan akɔsi asase a Awurade de ama yɛn no so.”
njengalokhu abantwana bakaEsawu abahlala eSeyiri lamaMowabi ahlala eAri benza kimi, ngize ngichaphe iJordani, ngingene elizweni iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu esinika lona.
30 Nanso, Hesbonhene Sihon amma yɛamfa nʼasase so antwam. Ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade yɛɛ ne honhom sisirii, pirim nʼakoma sɛdeɛ ɔnam so de no bɛhyɛ wo nsam nam so adi wɔn so nkonim sɛdeɛ wayɛ no ɛnnɛ yi.
Kodwa uSihoni inkosi yeHeshiboni kasivumelanga ukuthi sidlule kuye; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho yenza umoya wakhe waba lukhuni, yenza lenhliziyo yakhe yaba lenkani, ukuze imnikele esandleni sakho, njengalamuhla.
31 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Mafiti aseɛ de Sihon ne ne ɔman ahyɛ wo nsam. Afei, fiti aseɛ na di wɔn so, na fa nʼasase no.”
INkosi yathi kimi: Bona, sengiqalisile ukunikela phambi kwakho uSihoni lelizwe lakhe; qalisa ukudla ilifa, ukuze udle ilifa lelizwe lakhe.
32 Ɛberɛ a Sihon ne ne dɔm bɛhyiaa yɛn ɔko so wɔ Yahas no,
Kwasekuphuma uSihoni ukumelana lathi, yena labantu bakhe bonke, ukulwa eJahazi.
33 Awurade de no maa yɛn ma yɛdii ɔno, ne ne manfoɔ nyinaa so.
INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yasimnikela phambi kwethu; sasesimtshaya lamadodana akhe labantu bakhe bonke.
34 Na yɛfaa ne nkuro nyinaa saa ɛberɛ no sɛee ne mmarima, mmaa ne mmɔfra a wɔwɔ kuropɔn biara mu a yɛannya obiara,
Ngalesosikhathi sasesithumba yonke imizi yakhe, satshabalalisa wonke umuzi, abesilisa labesifazana labantwanyana; kasitshiyanga insali;
35 gye afieboa nko na yɛfomm wɔn faeɛ, ɛnna nkuro a yɛfaeɛ no mu asadeɛ.
sazithumbela izifuyo kuphela, lempango yemizi esayithumbayo.
36 Ɛfiri Aroer a ɛda Arnon subɔnhwa ano ne kuro a ɛda subɔnhwa no mu no so de kɔsi Gilead no, kuro biara nni hɔ a na ɛsodie yɛ den ma yɛn; Awurade de ne nyinaa hyɛɛ yɛn nsa.
Kusukela eAroweri esekhunjini lwesifula iArinoni, lomuzi osesifuleni, kuze kube seGileyadi kwakungekho muzi owawuphakeme kakhulu kithi. INkosi uNkulunkulu wethu yayinikela yonke phambi kwethu.
37 Nanso, yɛammɛn Amorifoɔ a na wɔwɔ Asubɔnten Yabok ho ne mmepɔ no so nkuro no baabiara a Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnnkɔ no.
Kuphela kawusondelanga elizweni labantwana bakoAmoni, endaweni yonke yesifula iJaboki, lemizini esezintabeni, lakukuphi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu esenqabela khona.
