Yosua 8
1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Nsuro anaasɛ mma wʼakoma nntu. Fa wʼasraadɔm no nyinaa na kɔto hyɛ Ai so, ɛfiri sɛ, mede Aihene, ne nkurɔfoɔ, ne kuropɔn ne nʼasase ama wo.
Kenaka Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Usachite mantha kapena kutaya mtima. Tenga gulu lonse la nkhondo, ndipo upite ku Ai. Taona, ndapereka mfumu ya Ai pamodzi ndi anthu ake, mzinda wake ndi dziko lake lonse mʼmanja mwako.
2 Wobɛsɛe wɔn sɛdeɛ wosɛee Yeriko ne ne ɔhene no. Nanso, saa ɛberɛ yi deɛ, motumi fa asadeɛ ne anantwie no. Ma wʼasraafoɔ no nkɔtɛ kuropɔn no akyi.”
Mzinda wa Ai ndi mfumu yake muchite monga munachita ndi mzinda wa Yeriko ndi mfumu yake, koma katundu wa mumzindamo ndi zoweta mukazitenge ndi kuzisunga kuti zikhale zanu. Mukalalire mzinda wa Ai ndi kuwuthira nkhondo kuchokera kumbuyo.”
3 Na Yosua ne Israel akodɔm no siim sɛ wɔrekɔto ahyɛ Ai so. Yosua yii akodɔm ɔpeduasa, somaa wɔn anadwo,
Kotero Yoswa ndi gulu lonse la nkhondo anakonzeka kupita ku Ai. Iye anasankha amuna 30,000 odziwa kumenya nkhondo bwino ndipo anawatumiza usiku
4 hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔtɛ wɔ atɛeɛ a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no akyi na monyɛ krado mma ɔko.
nawapatsa malamulo awa kuti, “Mvetsani bwino; mukabisale kuseri kwa mzindawo. Musakapite patali ndi mzindawo, koma nonsenu mukakhale okonzekera nkhondo.
5 Sɛ yɛn asraafoɔ no to hyɛ Ai so a, Ai mmarima bɛfiri adi abɛko, sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ kane no, na yɛbɛdwane.
Ine ndi gulu langa lonse tikayamba kuwuputa mzindawu, ndipo akadzangotuluka kudzalimbana nafe, ife tidzawathawa monga tinachitira poyamba.
6 Yɛbɛma wɔataa yɛn ara kɔsi sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛfiri kuropɔn no mu. Na wɔbɛka sɛ ‘Israelfoɔ no redwane sɛdeɛ wɔyɛɛ kane no.’
Iwo adzatithamangitsa mpaka titawakokera kutali ndi mzindawo, pakuti iwo adzati, ‘Akutithawa monga anachitira poyamba.’ Pamene ife tizidzathawa,
7 Afei mobɛfiri mo atɛeɛ hɔ ntɛm so akɔfa kuropɔn no, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de bɛma mo.
inu mudzatuluke pamene mwabisalapo ndi kulanda mzindawo. Yehova Mulungu wanu adzakupatsani mzindawo.
8 Monto kuropɔn no mu ogya sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no. Monim deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ.”
Mukakawulanda mzindawo mudzawuyatse moto. Mukachite monga mwa mawu a Yehova. Amenewa ndiwo malamulo amene ndakupatsani.”
9 Enti, wɔfirii hɔ anadwo no kɔtɛɛ Bet-El ne Ai atɔeɛ fam ntam. Nanso, Yosua deɛ, ɔkaa nnipa no mu wɔ wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ anadwo no.
Yoswa atawatumiza, anapita ku malo wokabisalakowo ndipo anadikirira kumeneko. Malowa anali pakati pa Beteli ndi Ai, kumadzulo kwa Ai. Koma Yoswa anagona usiku umenewu pakati pa gulu lake lankhondo.
10 Adeɛ kyee anɔpahema no, Yosua nyanee nʼakodɔm maa wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Ai a Israel ntuanofoɔ ka wɔn ho.
Mmawa mwake, Yoswa anadzuka nayitana asilikali ake. Tsono iye pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a Aisraeli anatsogola kupita ku Ai.
11 Wɔkɔbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Ai atifi fam a bɔnhwa da wɔne kuropɔn no ntam.
Gulu lonse la nkhondo limene linali ndi iye linatsogolako ndi kukamanga zithando pafupi ndi mzindawo chakumpoto mopenyana nawo. Pakati pa iwo ndi mzindawo panali chigwa.
12 Anadwo no, Yosua somaa akodɔm mpem enum sɛ wɔnkɔtɛ Bet-El ne Ai ntam wɔ kuropɔn no atɔeɛ fam.
Yoswa anali atatenga asilikali 5,000 ndi kuwabisa pakati pa Ai ndi Beteli, kumadzulo kwa mzindawo.
13 Enti, ɔmaa akodɔm no mu fa kɛseɛ gyinaa kuropɔn no atifi fam a na atɛfoɔ no bi nso wɔ kuropɔn no atɔeɛ fam. Yosua ankasa deɛ, ɔtenaa bɔnhwa no mu anadwo no.
Anakhazika anthuwo mokonzekera nkhondo. Gulu lalikulu la nkhondo linakamanga zithando zawo kumpoto kwa mzinda, ndipo gulu lina linakamanga zithando zawo kumadzulo kwa mzindawo. Usiku umenewo Yoswa anakagona ku chigwa.
14 Aihene hunuu sɛ Israelfoɔ no wɔ bɔnhwa no fa nohoa no, ntɛm so, ɔne nʼakodɔm nyinaa sɔree anɔpahema kɔtoaa Israelfoɔ no, to hyɛɛ wɔn so wɔ Araba. Nanso, na ɔnnim sɛ atɛfoɔ bi wɔ kuropɔn no akyi.
Mfumu ya Ai itaona ankhondo a Yoswa, inachita zinthu mofulumira. Inadzuka mmamawa ndipo inapita pamodzi ndi anthu ake ku malo otsika oyangʼanana ndi Araba kuti akachite nkhondo ndi Aisraeli. Koma iyo sinadziwe kuti ayithira nkhondo kudzera kumbuyo kwa mzindawo.
15 Yosua ne ne Israel akodɔm no dwane kɔɔ ɛserɛ no so yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Aifoɔ no adi wɔn so,
Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse anachita ngati agonja ndi kumathawira ku chipululu.
16 enti Aifoɔ no frɛɛ mmarima a wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu no nyinaa ma wɔbɛtaa Israelfoɔ no. Ɛyɛɛ saa maa wɔn nyinaa firii kuropɔn no mu.
Anthu onse a ku Ai anawuzidwa kuti awapirikitse. Ndipo iwo anapirikitsadi Yoswa uja, ndi kupita kutali ndi mzinda wawo.
17 Anka obi biara wɔ Ai anaa Bet-El a wankɔtaa Israelfoɔ, na wɔgyaa kuro no maa ano daa hɔ.
Palibe munthu wamwamuna wa mzinda wa Ai kapena wa Beteli amene sanatuluke kukapirikitsa Aisraeli. Iwo anasiya mzinda wosatseka ndi kumapirikitsa Aisraeli.
18 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Fa wo pea no kyerɛ Ai so, na mede kuropɔn no bɛma wo.” Enti, Yosua yɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔhyɛɛ noɔ no.
Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Yoswa, “Loza mkondo uli mʼdzanja lako ku Ai pakuti ine ndipereka mʼdzanja lanu mzindawo.” Kotero Yoswa analoza mkondowo ku Ai.
19 Yosua nyamaa atɛfoɔ no ara pɛ, wɔsɔree pankran bɔ wuraa kuropɔn no mu. Wɔfaa kuropɔn no na wɔtoo mu ogya.
Atangotambalitsa dzanja lake, anthu amene anabisala aja ananyamuka msangamsanga pamalo pawo ndi kuthamangira kutsogolo. Iwo analowa mu mzindamo ndi kuwulanda ndipo anawutentha mofulumira.
20 Aifoɔ no hwɛɛ wɔn akyi hunuu sɛ wisie kumɔnn aduru soro, na wɔannya baabi ankɔ, ɛfiri sɛ Israelfoɔ no a wɔdwane kɔɔ ɛserɛ so no danee wɔn ani taa wɔn.
Anthu a ku Ai aja atangochewukira mʼmbuyo anaona utsi uli tolotolo. Koma mpata woti athawireko panalibe pakuti Aisraeli amene amathawira ku chipululu anabwerera nayamba kuwathamangitsa.
21 Ɛberɛ a Yosua ne Israelfoɔ a wɔaka no hunuu sɛ atɛfoɔ no afa kuropɔn no, na wisie ayɛ kumɔnn wɔ ewiem no, wɔdanee wɔn ho bɛto hyɛɛ Aifoɔ no so.
Yoswa ndi Aisraeli onse ataona kuti obisalira aja alanda mzinda ndipo kuti utsi unali tolotolo, iwo anatembenuka ndi kuyamba kupha anthu a ku Ai.
22 Israelfoɔ a na wɔwɔ kuropɔn no mu firii akyire hyɛɛ aseɛ kunkumm atamfoɔ no. Enti Ai mmarima no dii nsensɛn mu na wɔn nyinaa wuwuiɛ. Anka obi biara.
Nawonso Aisraeli amene anali mu mzindamo anatuluka kudzalimbana ndi anthu a ku Ai. Choncho iwo anazingidwa mbali zonse ndi Aisraeli ndipo onse anaphedwa. Palibe amene anatsala wamoyo kapena wothawa
23 Ai ɔhene nko ara na wɔkyeree no anikann de no brɛɛ Yosua.
kupatula mfumu ya ku Ai yokha imene anayigwira nabwera nayo kwa Yoswa.
24 Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ akodɔm kunkumm Ai mmarima a wɔpue firii kuropɔn no mu wieeɛ no, wɔsane kɔɔ kuropɔn no mu kɔkunkumm wɔn a wɔaka wɔ mu nyinaa.
Aisraeli aja atatha kupha anthu onse a ku Ai amene anali mʼthengo ndi mʼchipululu kumene anawapirikitsira, onse anabwerera ku Ai ndi kupha onse amene anali mu mzindamo.
25 Enti ɛda no, wɔkunkumm nnipa a wɔwɔ Ai nyinaa; na wɔn ano si mpem dumienu.
Chiwerengero cha anthu onse a ku Ai, amuna ndi akazi, amene anaphedwa pa tsiku limeneli chinali 12,000.
26 Yosua sɔɔ ne pea no mu saa ara kɔsii sɛ obiara a ɔte Ai no, wɔsɛee no pasaa.
Yoswa sanatsitse dzanja lake limene ananyamula mkondo mpaka ataona kuti onse amene amakhala mu mzinda wa Ai aphedwa.
27 Anantwie ne agyapadeɛ a ɛwɔ kuropɔn no mu nko ara na wɔansɛe no; Israelfoɔ no ankasa faeɛ, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Yosua no.
Tsono Aisraeli anatenga zoweta ndi katundu yense wa anthu ophedwa aja, monga momwe Yehova analamulira Yoswa.
28 Enti, Ai bɛdanee mmubuiɛ esie ne asase bonini de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
Pambuyo pake Yoswa anawutentha mzinda wa Ai ndi kuwusiya bwinja monga ulili leromu.
29 Yosua sɛnee Ai ɔhene wɔ dua bi so gyaa no dua no so kɔsii anwummerɛ. Owia kɔtɔeɛ no, Israelfoɔ no yii amu no de no kɔtoo kuropɔn no ɛpono ano. Wɔhyɛɛ aboɔ esie wɔ ne so a ɛda so wɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
Iye anapachika pa mtengo mfumu ya Ai ndipo anayisiya mpaka madzulo. Pomwe dzuwa linalowa Yoswa analamula kuti akachotse mtembowo ndi kukawutaya ku chipata cha mzindawo. Pamwamba pa mtembowo anawunjikapo mulu waukulu wa miyala. Muluwo ulipobe mpaka lero lino.
30 Yosua sii afɔrebukyia maa Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, wɔ Ebal bepɔ so.
Ndipo Yoswa anamanga guwa lansembe la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli pa phiri la Ebala.
31 Ɔdii nkyerɛkyerɛ a Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ atwerɛ wɔ Mmara Nwoma no mu sɛ, “Fa aboɔ a wɔntwaeɛ na wɔmfaa adwinnadeɛ nsensenee ho si afɔrebukyia ma me.” Na wɔbɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
Analimanga motsata zimene Mose mtumiki wa Yehova analamulira Aisraeli, ndiponso potsata zomwe zinalembedwa mʼbuku la malamulo a Mose kuti guwa lansembe likhale la miyala yosasemedwa ndi chitsulo. Pa guwalo anapereka kwa Yehova nsembe yopsereza ndi nsembe yachiyanjano.
32 Na Yosua twerɛɛ Mose Mmara no guu afɔrebukyia no aboɔ no so wɔ ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ no rehwɛ no.
Kenaka anthu onse akupenya, Yoswa analemba pa miyala chitsanzo cha malamulo amene Mose analemba.
33 Afei, Israelfoɔ nyinaa, ahɔhoɔ ne ɔmanfoɔ, ntuanofoɔ, adwumayɛfoɔ ne atemmufoɔ nyinaa, wɔkyɛɛ wɔn mu akuo mmienu. Ekuo baako gyinaa Gerisim bepɔ ayaase ɛnna ekuo baako nso gyinaa Ebal bepɔ ayaase. Akuo mmienu yi dii nhwɛanimu. Na Lewifoɔ asɔfoɔ a wɔso Awurade Apam Adaka no gyinaa wɔn mfimfini. Wɔyɛɛ yeinom nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ Mose nkyerɛkyerɛ a ɔnam so hyiraa Israelfoɔ no teɛ.
Aisraeli onse, akuluakulu awo, atsogoleri awo ndi oweruza awo, alendo pamodzi ndi mbadwa, anayimirira mbali zonse ziwiri za Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova, ena uku ena uku moyangʼanana ndi ansembe a Chilevi. Theka la anthu linayima patsogolo pa phiri la Gerizimu ndipo theka lina patsogolo pa phiri la Ebala, monga momwe Mose mtumiki wa Yehova anawalamulira mʼmbuyomo pamene anawapatsa malangizo podalitsa Aisraeli.
34 Afei, Yosua kenkanee nhyira ne nnome nsɛm a Mose atwerɛ wɔ Mmara Nwoma no mu no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
Pambuyo pake Yoswa anawerenga mawu onse a malamulo, madalitso ndi matemberero monga momwe zinalembedwera mʼbuku la malamulo a Mose.
35 Asɛm biara a Mose ahyɛ no, Yosua kenkan kyerɛɛ ɔman mu no a mmaa, mmɔfra ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔne Israelfoɔ no teɛ no nso ka ho.
Yoswa anawerenga mawu onse amene Mose analamula, gulu lonse la Israeli limene linasonkhana likumva. Amayi, ana ndi alendo omwe okhala pakati pawo anali pomwepo.
