< Yosua 3 >

1 Adeɛ kyee anɔpahema no, Yosua ne Israelfoɔ no nyinaa tu firii Sitim kɔduruu Asubɔnten Yordan nsunoa, baabi a wɔtenaa nna kakra ansa na wɔretwa.
Pea naʻe tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻa Siosiua ʻi he pongipongi; pea naʻa nau hiki mei Sitimi, ʻo hoko ki Sioatani, ʻaia mo e fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo nofo ʻi ai ʻi he teʻeki ke aʻa atu.
2 Nnansa akyi no, Israelfoɔ ntuanofoɔ no faa atenaeɛ hɔ nyinaa
Pea hili ʻae ʻaho ʻe tolu pea pehē, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae kau matāpule ki he fakataha ʻoe kautau:
3 maa nnipa no akwankyerɛ sɛ, “Sɛ mohunu sɛ Lewifoɔ asɔfoɔ no so Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn Apam Adaka no a, monni wɔn akyi.
Pea naʻa nau fekau ki he kakai, ʻo pehē, “ʻI hoʻomou mamata ki he puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ko homou ʻOtua, mo e kau taulaʻeiki mo e kau Livai ʻoku haʻamo ia, ke mou hiki ai mei homou potu, ʻo muimui ki ai.
4 Esiane sɛ momfaa ha da no enti, wɔbɛkyerɛ mo ɛkwan. Momma akwansini fa nna mo ne wɔn ntam, na moammɛn Apam Adaka no. Monhwɛ na moammɛn ho.”
Ka ʻe ai ha vahaʻa ʻiate kimoutolu mo ia, ko e hanga ʻe fā afe nai hono fuofua: ʻoua naʻa mou hoko ke ofi ki ai, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ʻae hala ʻaia ʻoku totonu ke mou ʻalu ai: he ʻoku teʻeki ai te mou fou ʻi he hala ni.”
5 Yosua ka kyerɛɛ nkurɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Monnwira mo ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔkyena Awurade bɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ wɔ mo mu.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he kakai, “Fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻakimoutolu: koeʻuhi ʻe fai ʻe Sihova ʻapongipongi ʻae ngaahi mana ʻiate kimoutolu.”
6 Anɔpa no, Yosua ka kyerɛɛ asɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Mompagya Apam Adaka no na momfa nni nnipa no anim ntwa asubɔnten no.” Ɛno enti wɔsiim.
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Siosiua ki he kau taulaʻeiki, ʻo pehē, “Toʻo hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, pea ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai. Pea naʻa nau toʻo hake ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, ʻo ʻalu ʻo muʻomuʻa ʻi he kakai.”
7 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ, mɛhyɛ aseɛ ayɛ wo kɛseɛ wɔ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa ani so. Na ɛbɛma wɔahunu sɛ, meka wo ho sɛdeɛ na meka Mose ho no.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Siosiua, “Ko e ʻaho ni te u kamata fakahikihiki koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻIsileli kotoa pē, koeʻuhi kenau ʻilo, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku ʻia Mōsese, ʻe pehē pe ʻeku ʻiate koe.
8 Fa saa akwankyerɛ yi ma asɔfoɔ a wɔso Apam Adaka no: ‘Sɛ moduru Asubɔnten Yordan nsunoa hɔ a, monnante nkɔ nsuo no mu kakra na monnyina.’”
Pea ke fekau ʻe koe ki he kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava, ʻo pehē, ʻI hoʻomou hoko ki he veʻevai ʻo Sioatani, te mou tuʻumaʻu pe ʻi Sioatani.”
9 Na Yosua ka kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, “Mommra mmɛtie asɛm a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn aka.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, “Mou haʻu ki heni, pea fanongo ki he ngaahi folofola ʻo Sihova ko homou ʻOtua.”
10 Ɛnnɛ mobɛhunu sɛ Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no ka mo ho. Ampa ara ɔbɛpam Kanaanfoɔ, Hetifoɔ, Hewifoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Girgasifoɔ, Amorifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Siosiua, “Te mou ʻilo ʻi he meʻa ni ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻOtua moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni ʻe kapusi ʻe ia mei homou ʻao ʻae kau Kēnani, mo e kau Heti, mo e kau Hevi, mo e kau Pelesi, mo e kau Keakasa, mo e kau ʻAmoli, mo e kau Sepusi.
11 Monnwene ho! Apam Adaka a ɛyɛ Awurade a asase nyinaa yɛ ne dea no bɛdi mo anim de mo atware Asubɔnten Yordan.
Vakai, ko e puha ʻoe fuakava ʻa Sihova ʻo māmani kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻi homou ʻao ki loto Sioatani.
12 Afei, monyiyi nnipa dumienu a ɔbaako biara firi mmusuakuo dumienu no mu.
Pea ko eni, mou fili ha kau tangata ʻe toko hongofulu ma toko ua mei he ngaahi faʻahinga ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e tangata pe taha mei he faʻahinga kotoa pē.
13 Asɔfoɔ no bɛsoa Awurade a ɔyɛ asase nyinaa wura no Adaka no. Sɛ wɔn nan nya si nsuo no mu ara pɛ, asuo no bɛtwa afiri atifi ama ano aboa wɔ hɔ.”
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he hoko ʻae ʻaofivaʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki ʻoku haʻamo ʻae puha ʻo Sihova, ko e ʻEiki ʻo māmani kotoa pē, ke tuʻu ki he vai ʻo Sioatani, ʻe motuhi leva ʻae vai ʻo Sioatani mei he vai ʻoku tafe hifo; pea ʻe tuʻu fakaʻesi pe ia.”
14 Ɛberɛ a nnipa no sɔree sɛ wɔrekɔtwa Yordan no, asɔfoɔ a na wɔso Apam Adaka no dii wɔn anim.
Pea naʻe pehē, ʻi he hiki ʻae kakai mei honau ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ke ʻalu ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani, naʻe ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai, ʻo haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava;
15 Na ɛyɛ otwaberɛ mu enti na Yordan no ayiri aba nsunoa. Nanso, asɔfoɔ a wɔso Adaka no nan sii asuo no ano pɛ,
Pea ʻi he hoko ki Sioatani ʻakinautolu naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha, pea tuʻu ki he veʻevai ʻae vaʻe ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha, (he naʻe fonu mahakehake ʻa Sioatani, ʻi hono ngaahi ngutu vai kotoa pē ʻi he kuonga kotoa pē ʻoe ututaʻu, )
16 asuo no ano hyɛɛ aseɛ boaa wɔ nʼatifi fam, baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ Adam a ɛbɛn Saretan. Na asuo a ɛwɔ anafoɔ no nso tene kɔguu Nkyene Ɛpo no mu kɔsii sɛ asuo no subɔnhwa no weeɛ. Enti, nnipa no nyinaa twaa wɔ beaeɛ bi a ɛbɛn Yeriko kuropɔn no.
‌ʻIloange ko e ngaahi vai naʻe tafe mai naʻe tuʻu, pea tupu hake ʻo fakatafungofunga, ʻo vāmamaʻo ʻaupito mei he kolo ko ʻAtama, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he potu ʻo Salitani: pea ko ia naʻe tafe mai ki he tahi ʻoe toafa, ʻaia ko e tahi kona, naʻe mamaha ia, pea motuhi: pea naʻe aʻa ai ʻae kakai ʻo hangatonu ki Seliko.
17 Saa ɛberɛ no mu, asɔfoɔ a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no gyinaa asase kesee so wɔ subɔnhwa no mfimfini ma nnipa no nyinaa twaa mu. Wɔtwɛnee wɔ hɔ kɔsii sɛ obiara faa asase kesee so twaa Yordan.
Pea ko e kau taulaʻeiki ʻaia naʻe haʻamo ʻae puha ʻoe fuakava ʻo Sihova naʻe tuʻumaʻu ʻi he kelekele mōmoa ʻi loto Sioatani, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai ʻIsileli kotoa pē ʻi he kelekele mōmoa, ke ʻoua ke ʻosi ʻae kakai kotoa pē ki he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani.
