5 Mose 20
1 Sɛ mokɔ ɔko de tia mo atamfoɔ na mohunu apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam ne akodɔm a wɔdɔɔso sen mo a, monnsuro wɔn. Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, a ɔyii mo firii Misraim no bɛka mo ho.
Lapho uphuma impi ukumelana lezitha zakho, ube usubona amabhiza lezinqola, labantu abanengi kulawe, ungabesabi; ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ilawe, eyakukhupha elizweni leGibhithe.
2 Sɛ morebɛkɔ ɔko a, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛba abɛkasa akyerɛ akodɔm no.
Njalo kuzakuthi, nxa selisondela empini, umpristi asondele akhulume labantu,
3 Ɔbɛka sɛ, “Montie me, mo Israel mmarima! Ɛnnɛ, morekɔ ɔsa yi, mommma mo akoma ntu! Mommma mo abasa mu mmu, na momma mo ho mpopo.
athi kubo: Zwana, Israyeli! Selisondela empini lamuhla limelana lezitha zenu; inhliziyo yenu kayingapheli amandla; lingesabi, lingathuthumeli, lingatshaywa luvalo ngenxa yobukhona babo;
4 Na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na ɔne mo rekɔ. Ɔbɛko atia mo atamfoɔ no ama mo, na moadi nkonim.”
ngoba iNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu nguye ohamba lani, ukulilwela ezitheni zenu, ukulisindisa.
5 Akodɔm mpanimfoɔ no bɛbisa akodɔm no sɛ, “Mo mu bi asi ɛdan foforɔ a ɔntenaa mu da? Sɛ obi wɔ ha saa a, ɔnsane nkɔ! Ebia na wɔakum no wɔ ɔko no mu na ama obi akɔtena mu!
Lenduna zizakhuluma labantu zithi: Ngubani umuntu owakhe indlu entsha ongazanga ayivule? Kahambe abuyele endlini yakhe, hlezi afele empini, lomunye umuntu ayivule.
6 Obi wɔ ha a wadɔ bobefuo na ɔnnii mu aba da? Sɛ obi wɔ ha saa a, ɔnsane nkɔ! Ebia na wɔakum no wɔ ɔko no mu, na ama obi akɔdi mu aba.
Ngubani-ke umuntu ohlanyele isivini, ongadlanga okwaso? Kahambe abuyele endlini yakhe, hlezi afele empini, lomunye umuntu adle okwaso.
7 Obi wɔ ha a wagye ɔbaa bi awadeɛ? Sɛ obi wɔ ha saa a, ɔnsane nkɔ! Ebia na wɔakum no wɔ ɔko no mu, na ama obi akɔware ne siyere no.”
Ngubani-ke umuntu ogane umfazi, engakamthathi? Kahambe abuyele endlini yakhe, hlezi afele empini, lomunye umuntu amthathe.
8 Afei, mpanimfoɔ bɛkɔ so abisa sɛ, “Mo mu bi suro anaa nʼakoma atu? Ɛnneɛ, ɔnkɔ fie sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ne nuammarima nso akoma ntu.”
Lezinduna zizakhuluma futhi labantu, zithi: Ngubani umuntu owesabayo ophelelwa ngamandla enhliziyweni? Kahambe abuyele endlini yakhe, ukuze inhliziyo zabafowabo zingaphelelwa ngamandla njengenhliziyo yakhe.
9 Sɛ mpanimfoɔ no wie akodɔm no kasakyerɛ a, afei wɔbɛpa asahene asisi wɔn ano.
Kuzakuthi-ke lapho izinduna seziqedile ukukhuluma labantu, bazabeka izinduna zebutho ephondo lwabantu.
10 Sɛ mobɛn kuro biara a morekɔto ahyɛ wɔn so no ano a, deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, monkyerɛ nnipa no asomdwoeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ a mowɔ ma wɔn.
Ekusondeleni kwakho emzini ukulwa umelene lawo, uzamemezela ukuthula kuwo.
11 Sɛ wɔpene mo nhyehyɛeɛ no so na wɔbue wɔn apono ma mo a, nnipa a wɔwɔ mu no nyinaa, mobɛhyɛ wɔn ama wɔasom mo.
Kuzakuthi-ke, uba ukuphendula ngokuthula, ukuvulela, khona bonke abantu abaficwa kuwo bazakuba yizibhalwa kuwe, bakusebenzele.
12 Na sɛ wɔampene asomdwoeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ no so na sɛ wɔse wɔne mo bɛko a, ɛnneɛ, monto nhyɛ kuro no so.
Kodwa uba ungenzi ukuthula lawe, kodwa usilwa lawe, uzawuvimbezela.
13 Sɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, dane kuro no hyɛ mo nsa a, monkum kuro no mu mmarima nyinaa.
Nxa iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho iwunikela esandleni sakho, uzatshaya wonke owesilisa wawo ngobukhali benkemba.
14 Nanso, ɛyɛ a momfa kuro no mu mmaa, mmɔfra, nyɛmmoa ne asadeɛ a aka nyinaa sɛ agyapadeɛ. Momfa asadeɛ no nyinaa a Awurade de ama mo no.
Kodwa abesifazana labantwanyana, lezifuyo, lakho konke okusemzini, impango yonke yawo, uzaziphangela yona; uzakudla impango yezitha zakho iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunike yona.
15 Saa nhyɛ yi fa nkuro a ɛwɔ akyiri nko ara ho, na ɛnyɛ nkuro a ɛwɔ bɔhyɛ asase no so.
Uzakwenza njalo kuyo yonke imizi ekhatshana kakhulu lawe, engeyisiyo yemizi yalezizizwe.
16 Na amanaman nkuro a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo sɛ agyapadeɛ sononko no deɛ, monsɛe biribiara a nkwa wɔ mu wɔ hɔ no.
Kodwa emizini yalababantu iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekunika yona ukuba yilifa, kawuyikutshiya lutho luphila oluphefumulayo;
17 Monsɛe Hetifoɔ, Amorifoɔ, Kanaanfoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Hewifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ pasaa sɛdeɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo no.
kodwa uzabatshabalalisa lokubatshabalalisa: AmaHethi lamaAmori, amaKhanani lamaPerizi, amaHivi lamaJebusi, njengokukulaya kwayo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.
18 Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɛremma nnipa a wɔte asase no so no nkyerɛ mo akyiwadeɛ ho amanneɛ a wɔnam so somm wɔn anyame a anka ɛbɛma mo ayɛ bɔne a emu yɛ duru atia Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, no.
Ukuze bangalifundisi ukwenza njengazo zonke izinengiso zabo, abazenze kubonkulunkulu babo, ukuthi lone eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu.
19 Sɛ moretua kuropɔn bi na ɔko no rekɔ so a, monnsɛe nnua. Monni nnuaba no na monntwitwa nnua no ngu. Nnua no nyɛ atamfoɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ moto hyɛ so!
Lapho uvimbezela umuzi isikhathi eside, usilwa lawo ukuwuthumba, ungoni izihlahla zawo ngokuzigamula ngehloka, ngoba ungadla okwazo, kodwa ungazigamuli (ngoba isihlahla seganga singesabantu) ukuza phambi kwakho ekuvimbezeleni.
20 Nanso, motumi twa nnua a monim sɛ ɛnyɛ aduane. Momfa nyɛ deɛ ɛho hia mo mfa ntua kuro no kɔsi sɛ ɛbɛdi nkoguo.
Kuphela izihlahla elizaziyo ukuthi kayisizo izihlahla zokudla, yilezo ongazichitha lokuzigamula ukuze wakhe inqaba yokuvimbezela maqondana lomuzi olwa impi lawe, uze wehlele phansi.
