< Yosua 14 >
1 Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo nkaeɛ no nyaa nsase wɔ Kanaan sɛ agyapadeɛ, sɛdeɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa, Nun babarima Yosua ne Israel mmusuakuo ntuanofoɔ no de maa wɔn.
Lala ngamazwe abantwana bakoIsrayeli abawadla abe yilifa elizweni leKhanani, uEleyazare umpristi loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni lenhloko zaboyise bezizwe zabantwana bakoIsrayeli ababanika wona aba yilifa,
2 Saa mmusuakuo nkron ne fa yi nam ntontobɔ so na wɔnyaa wɔn agyapadeɛ no sɛdeɛ Awurade faa Mose so hyɛɛ no.
ngenkatho yelifa labo, njengokulaya kweNkosi ngesandla sikaMozisi, ngezizwe eziyisificamunwemunye lengxenye yesizwe.
3 Na Mose ama mmusuakuo mmienu ne fa no nsase sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam dada.
Ngoba uMozisi wayesenike ilifa izizwe ezimbili lengxenye yesizwe ngaphetsheya kweJordani; kodwa kumaLevi kanikanga ilifa phakathi kwazo.
4 Yosef abusuakuo no deɛ, na abɛyɛ mmusuakuo mmienu a wɔn ne Manase ne Efraim. Lewifoɔ no deɛ, wɔamma wɔn asase no mu bi koraa, gye nkuro a wɔbɛtena so ne adidibea a wɔn nnwan ne wɔn anantwie bɛkɔ so adidi.
Ngoba abantwana bakoJosefa babeyizizwe ezimbili, uManase loEfrayimi. Njalo kabawanikanga amaLevi isabelo elizweni, ngaphandle kwemizi yokuhlala, lamadlelo ayo ezifuyo zabo lempahla zabo.
5 Enti, asase no mu kyekyɛ no, wɔgyinaa mmara a Awurade de maa Mose no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
Njengokulaya kweNkosi kuMozisi, abantwana bakoIsrayeli benza njalo, balaba ilizwe.
6 Wɔtuu asomafoɔ firi Yuda abusuakuo mu a Kaleb a ɔyɛ Kenesini, Yefune babarima di wɔn anim baa Yosua nkyɛn wɔ Gilgal. Kaleb ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Kae asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose, Onyankopɔn onipa, a ɛfa me ne wo ho wɔ ɛberɛ a na yɛwɔ Kades-Barnea no.
Khona abantwana bakoJuda basondela kuJoshuwa eGiligali; uKalebi indodana kaJefune umKenizi wasesithi kuye: Wena uyalazi ilizwi iNkosi eyalikhuluma kuMozisi umuntu kaNkulunkulu mayelana lawe lamayelana lami eKadeshi-Bhaneya.
7 Ɛberɛ a Mose, Awurade ɔsomfoɔ no somaa me firi Kades-Barnea sɛ menkɔhwehwɛ Kanaan asase no so no, na madi mfeɛ aduanan. Mesane mʼakyi na mefiri akoma pa mu bɛkaa deɛ mehunuiɛ nyinaa,
Ngangileminyaka engamatshumi amane lapho uMozisi inceku yeNkosi ingithuma ngisuka eKadeshi-Bhaneya ukuhlola ilizwe. Ngasengibuyisela kuye umbiko njengokusenhliziyweni yami.
8 nanso me nuanom a wɔkaa me ho kɔɔ no, hunahunaa nnipa no, tuu wɔn aba mu sɛ wɔnntu wɔn nan nnsi Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Na me fam mu deɛ, mede me ho nyinaa dii Awurade, me Onyankopɔn akyi.
Kodwa abazalwane bami ababenyuke lami benza inhliziyo zabantu zancibilika; kodwa mina ngayilandela ngokupheleleyo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wami.
9 Enti saa ɛda no, Mose hyɛɛ me bɔ sɛ, ‘Kanaan asase a wokɔnantee so yi bɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefoɔ agyapadeɛ sononko daa nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, wofiri wʼakoma nyinaa mu adi Awurade, me Onyankopɔn akyi.’
UMozisi wasefunga mhlalokho esithi: Isibili umhlaba olunyathele kuwo unyawo lwakho uzakuba ngowakho ube yilifa, lebantwaneni bakho kuze kube nininini, ngoba uyilandele ngokupheleleyo iNkosi uNkulunkulu wami.
10 “Afei, sɛdeɛ wohunu yi, Awurade ahwɛ me so yie mfeɛ aduanan enum firi ɛberɛ a Mose hyɛɛ saa bɔ yi wɔ ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ nenam ɛserɛ so no. Ɛnnɛ madi mfeɛ aduɔwɔtwe enum.
Khathesi-ke khangela, iNkosi ingilondoloze ngiphila njengokutsho kwayo okwale iminyaka engamatshumi amane lanhlanu, kusukela esikhathini iNkosi eyakhuluma ngaso lelilizwi kuMozisi, uIsrayeli esahamba enkangala. Khathesi-ke khangela, lamuhla ngileminyaka engamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lanhlanu.
11 Me ho yɛ den ɛnnɛ te sɛ ɛda a Mose somaa me no na mɛtumi atu kwan akɔ ɔko ano seesei te sɛ kane no.
Ngisaqinile lalamuhla njengasosukwini uMozisi angithuma ngalo. Njengamandla ami ngalesosikhathi, asenjalo amandla ami khathesi, awempi lawokuphuma lawokungena.
12 Enti merebisa na wode bepɔ asase a Awurade de hyɛɛ me bɔ no ama me. Wobɛkae sɛ na yɛyɛ akwansrafoɔ no, yɛhunuu sɛ Anakfoɔ tete nkuropɔn akɛseɛ a wato ɔfasuo afa ho mu. Nanso sɛ Awurade ka me ho a, mɛpam wɔn afiri asase no so sɛdeɛ Awurade kaa no.”
Ngakho-ke nginika lintaba iNkosi eyakhuluma ngayo ngalolosuku, ngoba wena wezwa mhlalokho ukuthi amaAnaki ayekhona lapho lemizi emikhulu ebiyelwe ngemithangala. Aluba iNkosi ilami, ngizawaxotsha elifeni, njengokutsho kweNkosi.
13 Na Yosua hyiraa Kaleb, Yefune babarima no de Hebron maa no sɛ agyapadeɛ.
UJoshuwa wasembusisa wanika uKalebi indodana kaJefune iHebroni ibe yilifa.
14 Hebron da so yɛ Kaleb, Yefune a ɔyɛ Kenesini babarima no asefoɔ dea, ɛfiri sɛ ɔde nʼakoma nyinaa dii Awurade Israel Onyankopɔn akyi.
Ngalokho-ke iHebroni yaba ngekaKalebi indodana kaJefune umKenizi yaba yilifa kuze kube lamuhla, ngoba wayilandela ngokupheleleyo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.
15 (Kane no na wɔfrɛ Hebron sɛ Kiriat-Arba. Wɔde Arba yi too Anakfoɔ mu okunini kɛseɛ pa ara bi.) Na akokoakoko firii asase no so.
Lebizo leHebroni kuqala laliyiKiriyathi-Arba, owayengumuntu omkhulu phakathi kwamaAnaki. Ilizwe laseliphumula empini.
