Atemmufoɔ 11
1 Gileadni Yefta yɛ ɔkofoɔ kɛseɛ. Nʼagya din de Gilead. Nanso ne maame yɛ ɔbaa dwamanfoɔ.
Pea ko Sefita ko e tangata Kiliati, ko e tangata toʻa lahi, pea ko e tama ia ʻae fefine angahala: pea ko e foha ʻo Kiliati ʻa Sefita.
2 Gilead yere woo mmammarima bebree, na saa mmammarima no nyinyiniiɛ no, wɔpamoo Yefta firii asase no so. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Worennya yɛn agya agyapadeɛ biara, ɛfiri sɛ, woyɛ ɔbaa dwamanfoɔ bi ba.”
Pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻe he uaifi ʻo Kiliati ʻae ngaahi tama; pea naʻe tupu hake ʻae ngaahi tama ʻa hono uaifi, pea naʻa nau kapusi ʻa Sefita, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE ʻikai te ke hoko koe ki ha meʻa ʻi he fale ʻo ʻetau tamai: he ko e tama koe ʻae fefine kehe.”
3 Enti Yefta dwane firii ne nuanom nkyɛn kɔtenaa Tob asase so. Ankyɛre, ɔnyaa atuatefoɔ bebree bɛdii nʼakyi.
Pea naʻe hola ai ʻa Sefita mei hono ngaahi kāinga, pea nofo ia ʻi he fonua ko Topi: pea naʻe kātoa kia Sefita ʻae kau tangata launoa, ʻonau ʻalu fano mo ia.
4 Ɛberɛ korɔ yi ara, Amonfoɔ de ɔko bɛkaa Israel.
Pea fuoloaange mo ʻene hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe te u tau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ki ʻIsileli.
5 Ɛberɛ a Amonfoɔ to hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ so, Gilead mpanimfoɔ soma kɔfaa Yefta firii Tob asase so baeɛ. Wɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
Pea ʻi he te u tau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ki ʻIsileli, pea pehē, naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati ke ʻomi ʻa Sefita mei he fonua ko Topi:
6 “Bra na bɛyɛ yɛn so ɔsahene! Boa yɛn ma yɛne Amonfoɔ nko.”
Pea naʻa nau pehē kia Sefita, “Haʻu koe, ʻo hoko ko homau ʻeikitau, koeʻuhi ketau tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.”
7 Yefta bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Ɛnyɛ mo na motane me, pamoo me firii mʼagya fie no? Adɛn enti na afei a mowɔ ɔhaw mu no, morebɛfrɛ me?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sefita ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati, “ʻIkai naʻa mou fehiʻa kiate au, pea kapusi au mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai? Pea ko e hā kuo mou haʻu ai kiate au ʻi hoʻomou tuʻutāmaki?”
8 Gilead mpanimfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ Yefta sɛ, “Wo ho hia yɛn. Sɛ wodi yɛn anim ma yɛko tia Amonfoɔ a, yɛbɛyɛ wo Gileadfoɔ nyinaa sodifoɔ.”
Pea pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati kia Sefita, “Ko ia ʻoku mau toe kumi ni kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke tau ō, pea tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea ke hoko ko homau ʻeiki ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻo Kiliati.”
9 Yefta buaa sɛ, “Sɛ me ne mo kɔ na Awurade ma medi Amonfoɔ so nkonim a, ampa ara sɛ mode me bɛyɛ nnipa no nyinaa sodifoɔ anaa?”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sefita ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati, “Kapau ʻoku mou ʻave au ki hoku fonua ke u tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi hoku ʻao, te u hoko moʻoni ai ko homou ʻeiki?”
10 Gilead ntuanofoɔ no buaa no sɛ, “Awurade ne yɛn danseni. Yɛbɛyɛ sɛdeɛ woka biara.”
Pea pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati kia Sefita, “Ke ʻafio ʻe Sihova kiate kitaua, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mau fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
11 Enti, Yefta ne ntuanofoɔ no kɔɔ Gilead. Na wɔde no yɛɛ wɔn sodifoɔ ne ɔsahene. Na Yefta tii nsɛm no nyinaa mu wɔ Mispa wɔ Awurade anim.
Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ʻa Sefita mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati, pea fakanofo ia ʻe he kakai ko e pule mo e ʻeikitau kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe fai ʻe Sefita ʻene ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Misipa.
12 Afei, Yefta somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Amonfoɔ ɔhene nkyɛn sɛ wɔnkɔbisa no deɛ enti a ɔrebɛto ahyɛ Israel so.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sefita ʻae kau talafekau ki he tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā haʻo kau kiate au koeʻuhi kuo ke haʻu ai ke tauʻi au ʻi hoku fonua?”
13 Amonfoɔ ɔhene buaa Yefta abɔfoɔ no sɛ, “Ɛberɛ a Israel firii Misraim baeɛ no, wɔfaa mʼasase a ɛfiri Asubɔnten Arnon de kɔsi Asubɔnten Yabok, toaso kɔsi Yordan. Enti, sane fa mʼadeɛ ma me asomdwoeɛ mu.”
Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ki he kau talafekau ʻa Sefita, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻaoa ʻe ʻIsileli hoku fonua, ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei ʻIsipite, mei ʻAlanoni ʻo aʻu ki Sapoki, pea hoko ki Sioatani: ko ia ke ke toe tuku mai fiemālie pē ʻae ngaahi fonua ko ia.”
14 Na Yefta sane somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Amonfoɔ ɔhene hɔ sɛ,
Pea naʻe toe fekau ʻe Sefita ʻae kau talafekau ki he tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni:
15 “Sɛdeɛ Yefta seɛ nie: Israel amfa Moab asase anaa Amonfoɔ asase biara.
Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sefita, “Naʻe ʻikai faʻaoa ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae fonua ʻo Moape, pe ko e fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni:
16 Ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ tuu kwan firii Misraim, twaa Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ na wɔduruu Kades no,
Ka ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, pea fononga ʻo ʻasi ʻi he toafa mo e tahi Kulokula, pea hoko ki Ketesi;
17 wɔsomaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Edomhene hɔ sɛ ɔmma wɔn ɛkwan na wɔmfa nʼasase no so. Nanso Edomhene ampene. Wɔsoma ma wɔkɔɔ Moabhene hɔ, nanso ɔno nso ampene. Enti, Israelfoɔ tenaa Kades.
Naʻe fekau ai ʻe ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u ʻalu ʻi ho fonua: ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi. Pea naʻe pehē pe ʻenau fekau ki he tuʻi ʻo Moape: ka naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki ai: pea naʻe nofo pe ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Ketesi.
18 “Ne korakora ne sɛ, wɔnam ɛserɛ so twa faa Edom ne Moab ho hyiaeɛ. Wɔfaa Edom apueeɛ fam hyeɛ so kyeree sraban wɔ Asubɔnten Arnon fa hɔ. Nanso, wɔantwa Asubɔnten Arnon ankɔ Moab asase so.
Naʻa nau ʻalu ai pe ʻi he toafa, pea foliaki ʻae fonua ko ʻItomi, pea mo e fonua ʻo Moape, ʻonau hoko ʻo ofi ki he fonua ʻo Moape ʻi he potu hopoʻangalaʻā, pea ʻapitanga ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻo ʻAlanoni, ka naʻe ʻikai hoko ki loto ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻo Moape: he ko e ngataʻanga ʻo Moape ʻa ʻAlanoni.
19 “Afei, Israelfoɔ somaa abɔfoɔ kɔɔ Amorifoɔhene Sihon a ɔdii adeɛ firi Hesbon na wɔbisaa ɛkwan sɛ wɔpɛ sɛ wɔfa nʼasase so kɔ baabi a wɔrekɔ.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae kau talafekau kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kiate ia, ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, ke ke tuku ke mau ʻalu atu ʻi ho fonua ki hoku potu.
20 Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ na ɔhene Sihon nni Israelfoɔ mu gyidie enti ɔboaboaa ne dɔm ano wɔ Yahas maa wɔto hyɛɛ wɔn so.
Ka naʻe ʻikai tui ʻa Sihoni ke tuku ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu ʻi hono fonua: ka naʻe tānaki ʻe Sihoni hono kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Sehasi, ke tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.
21 “Na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, maa ne nkurɔfoɔ dii ɔhene Sihon so. Enti, Israelfoɔ faa Amorifoɔ asase a na wɔte so wɔ ɔmantam no mu
Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻa Sihoni mo hono kakai kotoa pē ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ko e kakai ʻoe fonua.
22 firi Asubɔnten Arnon de kɔsi Asubɔnten Yabok, firi ɛserɛ no so de kɔsi Yordan nyinaa dii so.
Pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, mei ʻAlanoni ʻo aʻu atu ki Sapoki, pea mei he toafa ʻo hoko ki Sioatani.
23 “Enti, moahunu, ɛyɛ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn na ɔgyee asase no firii Amorifoɔ nsam na ɔde maa Israel. Enti, adɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛde ma mo?
Ko ia ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli kuo ne kapusi ʻae kakai ʻAmoni, mei he ʻao ʻo hono kakai ko ʻIsileli, pea ʻoku lelei ke ke maʻu ia ʻe koe?
24 Deɛ mo nyame Kemos de maa mo no momfa, na yɛn nso, deɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn de maa yɛn biara no yɛafa.
ʻIkai te ke maʻu ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Kimosi ko ho ʻotua kiate koe? Ko ia ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova ko homau ʻOtua mei homau ʻao, ko kinautolu te mau maʻu.
25 Mosene Sipor babarima Balak a na ɔyɛ Moabhene no? Ɔne Israel twee asase bi so manso anaa? Ɔkɔɔ ɔko anaa? Dabi.
Pea ko eni, ʻoku ke lelei hake koe ʻia Pelaki ko e foha ʻo Sipoa ko e tuʻi ʻo Moape? Naʻe fekuki ia mo ʻIsileli pe ʻikai? Pe naʻa ne tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli?
26 Na afei, mfeɛ ahasa akyi, na woama saa asɛm yi so? Israel atena ha saa ɛberɛ tenten yi, wɔatrɛ afiri Hesbon asase so, akɔsi Aroer ne nkuro no nyinaa so, akɔfa Asubɔnten Arnon ano. Adɛn enti na dadaada yi moanyɛ mo adwene sɛ mobɛgye asase yi?
Naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Hesiponi mo hono ngaahi kolo, pea ʻi ʻAloeli mo hono ngaahi kolo, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoku tuʻu ʻi hono ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua ʻo ʻAlanoni, ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungeau? Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te mou toe maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ko ia?
27 Menyɛɛ mo bɔne. Mmom, mo na moayɛ me bɔne sɛ moto hyɛɛ me so. Momma Awurade a ɔyɛ ɔtemmufoɔ no mmua ɛnnɛ, sɛ yɛn mu hwan na nʼasɛm yɛ dɛ? Israel anaa Amon.”
Ko ia naʻe ʻikai te u fai angahala kiate koe, ka ʻoku ke fai kovi kiate au ʻi hoʻo fie tauʻi au: ko Sihova ko e fakamaau, ke fakamaau ʻe ia he ʻaho ni koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.”
28 Nanso, Amonhene amfa Yefta asɛm no asɛmhia.
Ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻae tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Sefita, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau kiate ia.
29 Saa ɛberɛ no, Awurade Honhom baa Yefta so ma ɔkɔɔ Gilead ne Manase nsase nyinaa so a, Mispa a ɛwɔ Gilead ka ho. Na ɔdii akodɔm anim to hyɛɛ Amonfoɔ so.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova kia Sefita, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi Kiliati, mo Manase, pea ʻalu atu ʻi Misipa ʻo Kiliati, pea ʻalu ʻi Misipa ʻo Kiliati ʻo hoko atu ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
30 Na Yefta hyɛɛ Awurade bɔ. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Sɛ woma medi Amonfoɔ so a,
Pea naʻe lea ʻa Sefita ʻaki ʻae fuakava kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapau te ke tukuange moʻoni ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ki hoku nima,
31 mede adeɛ a ɛbɛdi ɛkan afiri me fie abɛhyia me ɛberɛ a mede nkonimdie reba no, bɛma Awurade. Mede bɛma no sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.”
pea ʻe pehē, ko ia ʻe hū kituʻa mei he matapā ʻo hoku fale ke fakafetaulaki kiate au ʻi heʻeku liu mai ʻi he fiemālie mei he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻe ʻa Sihova moʻoni ia, pea te u ʻatu ia ko e feilaulau tutu.”
32 Ɛnna Yefta dii nʼakodɔm anim tiaa Amonfoɔ, na Awurade ma ɔdii nkonim.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Sefita ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki hono nima.
33 Ɔdii Amonfoɔ so pasaa, sɛee nkuro bɛyɛ aduonu, firii Aroer de kɔsii baabi a ɛbɛn Minit, kɔeɛ ara kɔsii Abel-Keramim. Saa ɛkwan yi na Israelfoɔ faa so kaa Amonfoɔ hyɛeɛ.
Pea ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu mei ʻAloeli, ʻo hoko atu ki Minite, ko e kolo ʻe uofulu, ʻo aʻu atu ki he toafa ʻoe ngoue vaine, ʻi he tā lahi ʻaupito. Pea naʻe pehē hono fakavaivai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
34 Ɛberɛ a Yefta firi akono kɔɔ ne fie wɔ Mispa no, ne babaa, a ɔyɛ ne ba korɔ no, tuu mmirika bɛhyiaa no a ɔrebɔ akasaeɛ, na anigyeɛ enti, ɔresa.
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Sefita ki hono fale ʻi Misipi, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu kituʻa hono ʻofefine mo e ngaahi kihiʻi lali tatangi mo e meʻe ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia: pea ko hono ʻofefine pe taha ia; naʻe ʻikai hano foha pe ʻofefine ka ko ia pe.
35 Yefta hunuu no no, ɔde awerɛhoɔ sunsuanee ne ntadeɛ mu, teaam sɛ, “Ao, me ba, mʼakoma rete! Ɛdeɛn ahometesɛm sɛ woaba, rebɛhyia me. Na maka Awurade ntam na merentumi mmu so.”
Pea ʻi heʻene mamata kiate ia, naʻa ne haehae hono kofu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOiauē, hoku ʻofefine! Kuo ke fakavaivai ʻaupito au, ko e tokotaha koe ʻokinautolu ʻoku fakamamahi kiate au: he kuo faai hoku ngutu kia Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa foki kimui.”
36 Ne babaa no buaa sɛ, “Mʼagya, woahyɛ Awurade bɔ. Yɛ me sɛdeɛ woahyɛ bɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ Awurade ama woadi wʼatamfoɔ a wɔyɛ Amonfoɔ no so nkonim.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻA ʻeku tamai, kapau kuo ke lea ʻaki ho ngutu kia Sihova, ke ke fai kiate au ʻo hangē ko ia kuo haʻu mei ho ngutu; he kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻae totongi maʻau ki ho ngaahi fili, ʻio, ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.”

38 Yefta ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Wotumi kɔ.” Enti, ɔmaa no kɔ kɔdii abosome mmienu. Ɔne ne nnamfonom kɔɔ mmepɔ no so kɔsuiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔrennya mma.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAlu.” Pea naʻa ne fekau ia ke ʻalu ʻi he māhina ʻe ua: pea ʻalu ia mo hono kau fefine, ʻo tēngihia hono tāupoʻou ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga.
39 Ɛberɛ a ɔsane baa fie no, nʼagya dii ne bɔhyɛ so. Enti ɔwuu sɛ ababaawa a ɔnhunuu ɔbarima da. Yei abɛyɛ amanneɛ wɔ Israel
Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe māhina ʻe ua, naʻe pehē, naʻe liu mai ia ki heʻene tamai, pea naʻa ne fai kiate ia ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene fuakava naʻa ne fai: pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ha tangata.

Pea naʻe fai maʻu ʻae anga ko ia ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻi he ʻalu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fā ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē tukufakaholo ke tēngihia ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Sefita ko e tangata Kiliati.
