1 Afei, Yosua somaa akwansrafoɔ baanu wɔ kɔkoam firii Israelfoɔ atenaeɛ a ɛwɔ Sitim. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔsra asase a ɛda Yordan agya no, ne titire ne deɛ atwa Yeriko ho ahyia no.” Enti, mmarima baanu no sii mu kɔduruu odwamanfoɔ bi a ne din de Rahab fie na wɔtenaa hɔ anadwo no.
Tsono Yoswa mwana wa Nuni anatuma anthu awiri okazonda dziko mwachinsinsi kuchokera ku Sitimu. Iye anawawuza kuti, “Pitani mukaone dzikolo makamaka mzinda wa Yeriko.” Kotero iwo anapita ndipo anakafika ku nyumba ya mkazi wadama dzina lake Rahabe, ndipo anagona kumeneko.
2 Obi kɔka kyerɛɛ Yerikohene sɛ, “Anadwo yi ara, Israelfoɔ no bi aba ha a wɔrebɛsra asase yi.”
Mfumu ya Yeriko inawuzidwa kuti, “Aisraeli ena afika mu mzinda muno usiku uno kudzazonda dziko.”
3 Enti Yerikohene soma kɔɔ Rahab nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Fa mmarima a wɔabɛsoɛ wo no ma yɛn. Wɔyɛ akwansrafoɔ a wɔrebɛsra yɛn asase yi ahwehwɛ ɛkwan a wɔbɛfa so ato ahyɛ yɛn so.”
Choncho Mfumu ya Yeriko inatumiza uthenga kwa Rahabe kuti, “Atulutse anthu amene abwera ku nyumba kwakowo chifukwa iwo abwera kuti adzazonde dzikoli.”
4 Rahab a na ɔde mmarima baanu no asie no buaa sɛ, “Mmarima no baa me ha deɛ, nanso mennim baabi a wɔfiri baeɛ.
Koma pa nthawiyi nʼkuti mkaziyo atatenga amuna awiriwo ndi kuwabisa. Tsono anayankha kuti, “Inde, anthuwo anafikadi ku nyumba kuno. Koma sindinadziwe kumene anachokera.
5 Adeɛ reyɛ asa a wɔrebɛtoto kuropɔn no apono mu no na wɔkɔeɛ, nso manhunu baabi a wɔfaeɛ. Sɛ moyɛ ntɛm ti wɔn a, ebia, mobɛto wɔn.”
Iwo achoka kuno ndi chisisira, chipata cha mzinda chili pafupi kutsekedwa. Ndiye sindidziwa kumene alowera. Koma mukawalondola msanga muwapeza.”
6 (Nanso, na ɔde wɔn akɔhyɛ ɛdan atifi, akɔhinta ɔkyɛnkyɛn a waboa ano akuakuo ase.)
Koma nʼkuti atawakweza pa denga azondiwo ndi kuwabisa pansi pa mapesi a thonje amene iye anawayika pa dengapo.
7 Enti, ɔhene asomafoɔ no sii mu sɛ wɔrekɔhwehwɛ akwansrafoɔ no wɔ ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Asubɔnten Yordan atwareeɛ hɔ. Asomafoɔ no firii hɔ ara pɛ na wɔtotoo kuropɔn no apono mu.
Nthumwi za mfumu zija zitatuluka ndipo chipata chinatsekedwa. Nthumwizo zinapita kukawafunafuna azondi aja mpaka ku dooko la Yorodani.
8 Ansa na akwansrafoɔ no rebɛda anadwo no, Rahab kɔɔ ɛdan no atifi ne wɔn kɔkasaeɛ sɛ,
Azondiwo asanagone, Rahabe anakwera pa denga
9 “Menim sɛ Awurade de saa asase yi ama mo. Yɛn nyinaa suro mo. Yɛn mu biara abɔ huboa.
ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti Yehova wakupatsani dziko lino ndipo tili ndi mantha. Anthu onse a mʼdziko lino ali ndi mantha chifukwa cha inu.
10 Yɛate sɛdeɛ Awurade maa Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no weeɛ ma monyaa ɛkwan faa mu ɛberɛ a mofirii Misraim no. Na yɛnim sɛdeɛ moyɛɛ Sihon ne Og a na wɔyɛ Amorifoɔ ahemfo wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam no ne sɛdeɛ mosɛee wɔn nkurɔfoɔ pasaa no.
Ife tinamva mmene Yehova anawumitsira madzi a Nyanja Yofiira inu mukufika pamene munatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto. Tamvanso zimene munachita kwa Sihoni ndi Ogi, mafumu awiri a Aamori amene ali kummawa kwa Yorodani. Inu munawawononga kotheratu.
11 Ɛnyɛ nwanwa sɛ yɛn akoma atu na yɛabɔ huboa. Obiara nni akokoɔduru a sɛ ɔte nsɛm a ɛte sei a, ɔbɛko. Na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn no, ne otumfoɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ sorosoro ne asase ase.
Titamva zimenezi, ife tinataya mtima ndipo aliyense wa ife ali ndi mantha chifukwa cha inu. Tikudziwa kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu ndi Mulungu wa kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.
12 “Enti momfa Awurade nka ntam nkyerɛ me sɛ, ɛsiane sɛ maboa mo enti, mobɛyɛ me ne mʼabusuafoɔ adom. Momfa biribi nsi mo bɔhyɛ so sɛ,
Choncho mulumbire pamaso pa Yehova ndi kundipatsa chizindikiro choti mudzachitadi zimene mwalonjeza, kuti monga inu ndakuchitirani chifundo, inunso mudzachitira chifundo a pa banja la abambo anga.
13 moko fa Yeriko a, morenkum me ne mʼagya ne me maame, me nuammarima ne nuammaa ne wɔn mʼabusuafoɔ nyinaa.”
Inu mulonjeze kuti simudzapha abambo anga ndi amayi anga, abale anga ndi alongo anga ndi mabanja awo omwe.”
14 Mmarima no penee so kaa sɛ, “Yɛde yɛn nkwa si yɛn bɔhyɛ so. Sɛ woanyi yɛn amma na sɛ Awurade de asase no ma yɛn a, yɛbɛdi yɛn bɔhyɛ so.”
Anthuwo anamuyankha kuti, “Ife ndife okonzeka kufa chifukwa cha inu. Ngati iwe sudzawulula zimene tachitazi, ndiye kuti ife tidzakukomera mtima ndi kusunga pangano lathu ndi iwe, Yehova akadzatipatsa dziko lino.”
15 Esiane sɛ wɔsii Rahab fie sii kuro no ɔfasuo so enti, ɔde ahoma sianee wɔn faa mpomma mu ma wɔsii fam.
Popeza nyumba ya Rahabe inali pa linga la mzindawo, azondi aja anatulukira pa zenera. Rahabe anawatsitsa pansi ndi chingwe.
16 Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monnwane mfa bepɔ so ɔman no so. Momfa mo ho nsie nnansa kɔsi sɛ atifoɔ no a wɔrehwehwɛ mo no bɛsane wɔn akyi ansa na moakɔ mo kwan.”
Iye anawawuza kuti, “Pitani ku mapiri kuti okuthamangiraniwo asakupezeni. Mukabisale kumeneko masiku atatu mpaka iwo atabwerera, ndipo kenaka muzikapita kwanu.”
17 Ansa na mmarima no bɛkɔ no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Yɛbɛbɔ mo nkwa ho ban
Anthuwo anati kwa iye, “Lonjezo limene watichititsa ifeli tidzalisungadi
18 na mmom, gya ahoma kɔkɔɔ a ɛsɛn wo mpomma ano no na ma wʼabusuafoɔ a ɛyɛ wʼagya, wo maame, wo nuammarima ne wɔn mmusuafoɔ nyinaa mmɛhyɛ efie no mu a wɔnnkɔ baabiara.

20 Na sɛ wodi yɛn hwammɔ deɛ a, ntam yi renkyekyere yɛn wɔ ɛkwan biara so.”
Komanso iwe ukangowulula zimene ife tikuchitazi ndiye kuti ife sitidzasunga zimene talonjezazi.”
21 Ɔbaa no buaa sɛ, “Mepene mo nhyehyɛeɛ no nyinaa so.” Ɔgyaa wɔn ɛkwan wɔ ɛberɛ a ahoma kɔkɔɔ no sɛne efie no mpomma no ano.
Rahabe anayankha kuti, “Zikhale monga mwaneneramo.” Kenaka iye anawatulutsa ndipo iwowo anapita. Pambuyo pake Rahabe anamangirira kansalu kofiira pa zenera paja.
22 Akwansrafoɔ no kɔɔ bepɔ asase no so kɔtenaa hɔ nnansa. Atifoɔ no hwehwɛɛ ɛkwan no so baabiara, sane kɔɔ wɔn kurom a wɔanhunu akwansrafoɔ no wɔ baabiara.
Azondi aja anachoka napita ku mapiri ndipo anakhalako masiku atatu. Apa nʼkuti otumidwa ndi mfumu aja atawafunafuna ponseponse nʼkubwerera osawapeza.
23 Afei akwansrafoɔ baanu no siane firii bepɔ asase no so twaa Asubɔnten Yordan bɛkaa nsɛm a ɛtoo wɔn nyinaa kyerɛɛ Yosua.
Pambuyo pake azondi awiri aja anayamba ulendo wobwerera kwawo. Anatsika ku mapiri kuja, nawoloka mtsinje mpaka anakafika kwa Yoswa mwana wa Nuni. Ndipo anamuwuza zonse zimene zinawachitikira.
24 Wɔkaa sɛ, “Ampa ara Awurade de asase no nyinaa bɛma yɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛn ho hu atɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa so.”
Iwo anati kwa Yoswa, “Ndithu, Yehova wapereka dziko lonse mʼmanja mwathu. Anthu onse kumeneko akuchita nafe mantha.”
