Yosua 5
1 Ɛberɛ a Amorifoɔ ahemfo nyinaa a wɔwɔ Yordan atɔeɛ fam ne Kanaanfoɔ ahemfo a wɔwɔ Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no mpoano tee sɛ Awurade ama Asubɔnten Yordan awe wɔ Israelfoɔ anim ama wɔatwa no, wɔn akoma tuiɛ na ehu kyekyeree wɔn.
Mafumu onse a Aamori, a kummawa kwa Yorodani ndi mafumu onse a Akanaani a mʼmbali mwa Nyanja anamva momwe Yehova anawumitsira Yorodani pamene Aisraeli ankawoloka. Choncho anachita mantha ndi kutayiratu mtima chifukwa cha Aisraeliwo.
2 Saa ɛberɛ no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Yɛ twerɛboɔ sekammoa na fa twa Israelfoɔ no twetia bio.”
Tsono Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Panga mipeni ya miyala ndipo uchitenso mwambo wa mdulidwe pa Aisraeli.”
3 Enti, Yosua yɛɛ twerɛboɔ sekammoa no de twitwaa Israelfoɔ nyinaa twetia wɔ Aaralot kokoɔ so.
Choncho Yoswa anapanga mipeni ya miyala ndi kuchita mdulidwe Aisraeli ku Gibeyati Haaraloti.
4 Na ɛsɛ sɛ Yosua twitwa wɔn twetia, ɛfiri sɛ, mmarima a na wɔanyinyini a wɔtumi ko wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔfirii Misraim no nyinaa awuwu wɔ ɛserɛ no so.
Chifukwa chimene Yoswa anachitira izi ndi ichi: Onse amene anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto, amuna onse amene anali oyenera kumenya nkhondo anatha kufa mʼchipululu atatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto.
5 Nnipa a wɔtu firii Misraim baeɛ no, na wɔatwitwa wɔn nyinaa twetia. Nanso wɔn a wɔwowoo wɔn wɔ ɛserɛ no so wɔ Otukorɔ berɛ no mu no deɛ, na wɔntwitwaa wɔn twetia.
Anthu onse amene anatuluka mʼdziko la Igupto anali atachita mwambo wa mdulidwe, koma onse amene anabadwira mʼchipululu, pa ulendo wochoka ku Igupto, sanachite.
6 Israelfoɔ no kyinkyinii wɔ ɛserɛ no so mfeɛ aduanan kɔsii sɛ mmarima a wɔtumi ko wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔrefiri Misraim no nyinaa wuwuiɛ. Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔyɛɛ asoɔden maa Awurade, na ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔremma wɔn nan rensi asase a waka ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma yɛn no so, asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene wɔ so no.
Aisraeli anakhala akuyenda mʼchipululu kwa zaka makumi anayi mpaka amuna onse amene potuluka mʼdziko la Igupto anali a msinkhu woyenera kupita ku nkhondo anamwalira. Iwo anafa chifukwa sanamvere mawu a Yehova. Yehova anawalumbirira kuti sadzalowa konse mʼdziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi limene analonjeza kwa makolo awo kuti adzatipatsa.
7 Enti Yosua twitwaa wɔn mmammarima a wɔntwaa wɔn twetia no twetia wɔ ɛberɛ a na wɔrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so no. Yeinom yɛ wɔn a na wɔanyinyini a wɔtumi si wɔn agyanom anan mu no.
Koma ana awo amene analowa mʼmalo mwawo ndiwo amene Yoswa anawachita mdulidwe popeza sanachite pamene anali pa ulendo wawo mʼchipululu muja.
8 Ɔtwaa mmarima no nyinaa twetia wieeɛ no, wɔgyee wɔn ahome wɔ atenaeɛ hɔ kɔsii sɛ wɔn ho tɔɔ wɔn.
Atamaliza kuchita mdulidwe uja, anthu onse anakakhala ku misasa yawo kudikira kuti zilonda zipole.
9 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ mayi mo nkoayɛ wɔ Misraim ho animguaseɛ no afiri mo so.” Ɛno enti, wɔfrɛ beaeɛ hɔ Gilgal de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Kuyambira tsopano anthu a ku Igupto sadzakunyozaninso.” Nʼchifukwa chake malowa anatchedwa Giligala mpaka lero.
10 Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ no wɔ Gilgal atenaeɛ hɔ wɔ Yeriko asase parada no so no, wɔdii Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ. Saa bosome no na wɔde kae ɛberɛ a wɔtu firii Misraim no.
Akupumulabe ku Giligala kuja mʼchigwa cha Yeriko, Aisraeli anachita chikondwerero cha Paska madzulo pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi woyamba womwewo.
11 Ɛda no ara, wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ dii apiti ne aburoo a wɔtwa firii asase no so a wɔakye.
Mmawa mwake ndi pamene anayamba kudya zakudya za mʼdziko la Kanaani. Anaphika buledi wopanda yisiti ndi kukazinga tirigu tsiku lomwelo.
12 Mana amma ɛda no na wɔanhunu bi nso bio. Enti, ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, Israelfoɔ no dii Kanaan asase no so nnɔbaeɛ.
Atangodya chakudya cha mʼdzikomo, mana anasiya kugwa, ndipo sanapezekenso. Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo Aisraeli anayamba kudya chakudya cha mʼdziko la Kanaani.
13 Ɛberɛ a Yosua rebɛn Yeriko kuropɔn no, ɔpagyaa nʼani hunuu ɔbarima bi a ɔkura akofena rehyia no. Yosua kɔɔ ne nkyɛn bisaa no sɛ, “Wowɔ yɛn afa anaa woyɛ ɔtamfoɔ?”
Tsiku lina pamene Yoswa anali pafupi ndi Yeriko, anakweza maso ake ndipo mwadzidzidzi anaona munthu atayima patsogolo pake ndi lupanga losolola mʼdzanja lake. Yoswa anapita pamene panali munthuyo ndipo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi uli mbali yathu kapena ya adani athu?”
14 Na ɔbarima no buaa sɛ, “Menyɛ wɔn mu biara, meyɛ Awurade asraadɔm so safohene.” Yosua tee yei no, ɔdaa hɔ de nʼanim butuu fam wɔ anidie mu na ɔkaa sɛ, “Kyerɛ me deɛ menyɛ, ɛdeɛn na wopɛ sɛ wo ɔsomfoɔ yɛ?”
Iye anayankha kuti “Sindili mbali iliyonse. Ndabwera monga mkulu wa asilikali a Yehova.” Pomwepo Yoswa anadzigwetsa chafufumimba kupereka ulemu, ndipo anamufunsa, “Kodi mbuye wanga muli ndi uthenga wotani kwa mtumiki wanu?”
15 Awurade asraadɔm safohene no buaa sɛ, “Yi wo mpaboa na ɛha yɛ asase kronkron.” Na Yosua yɛɛ deɛ ɔkyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
Mkulu wa asilikali a Yehova uja anayankha kuti, “Vula nsapato zako, pakuti wayima pa malo wopatulika.” Ndipo Yoswa anachitadi zimene anawuzidwazo.
