Atemmufoɔ 19
1 Saa ɛberɛ no na Israel nni ɔhene. Na ɔbarima bi a ɔfiri Lewi abusuakuo mu te Efraim bepɔ asase no so akyirikyiri baabi. Ɛda bi, ɔde ɔbaa bi firi Betlehem a ɛwɔ Yuda baa fie sɛ ne mpena.
Awo mu biro ebyo tewaali kabaka mu Isirayiri. Ne wabaawo Omuleevi eyabeeranga mu kyalo mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu eyawasa omukazi mu Besirekemu mu Yuda.
2 Nanso, ɔbaa no anni no nokorɛ enti ɔsane kɔɔ nʼagya fie wɔ Betlehem. Abosome ɛnan akyi,
Naye mukazi we oyo n’ataba mwesigwa n’anoba ku bba, n’addayo mu nnyumba ya kitaawe e Besirekemu mu Yuda n’amalayo emyezi ena.
3 ne kunu no faa ɔsomfoɔ ne afunumu foforɔ kaa ne ho kɔɔ Betlehem sɛ ɔde rekɔkorɔkorɔ no na wasane nʼakyi aba. Ɔduruu ɔbaa no agya fie no, ɔde no kɔɔ efie no mu maa nʼagya no gyee no fɛ so.
Bba n’agolokoka n’agenda n’omuweereza we n’endogoyi bbiri okwogera ne mukazi we amukomyewo. Omukazi n’amutwala mu nnyumba ya kitaawe era kitaawe w’omuwala bwe yamulaba n’asanyuka era n’amwaniriza.
4 Ɔbaa no agya ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena nkyɛ kakra. Enti, ɔdii nnansa, didiiɛ, nomeeɛ, daa hɔ.
Awo mukoddomi we, kitaawe w’omuwala n’amuwaliriza asigaleyo ennaku ssatu. Ne balya ne banywa ne basula eyo.
5 Ne nna ɛnan so no, ɔbarima no sɔree anɔpa, pɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔ. Nanso, ɔbaa no agya ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Didi ansa na woakɔ.”
Awo ku lunaku olwokuna ne bagolokoka mu makya, Omuleevi ne yeeteekateeka okugenda. Kyokka kitaawe w’omuwala n’agamba mukoddomi we nti, “Mwesanyuse mumale okulya ku mmere, mulyoke mugende.”
6 Enti, wɔn baanu no tenaa ase didiiɛ, nomeeɛ. Afei, ɔbaa no agya ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, da anadwo yi na gye wʼani.”
Ne batuula ne balya era ne banywa bonna wamu. Kitaawe w’omuwala n’agamba omusajja nti, “Kaakano kkiriza osule, omutima gwo gusanyukeko.”
7 Ɔbarima no sɔree sɛ anka ɔrekɔ, nanso, nʼase no hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔntena. Enti, ɔpenee so daa hɔ anadwo no.
Omusajja bwe yagolokoka okugenda, mukoddomi we n’amuwaliriza okusigala era n’asula ekiro ekyo.
8 Nnanum so anɔpa no, ɔsɔree bio a ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔkɔ. Nanso, bio, ɔbaa no agya kaa sɛ, “Didi ansa, na awiam kakra no wobɛtumi akɔ.” Enti, wɔsane didii bio.
Ku lunaku olwokutaano, bwe yagolokoka mu makya okugenda, kitaawe w’omuwala n’amugamba nti, “Weesanyuse kaakano. Ojjira weesanyusa okutuusa obudde lwe bunaawungeera.” Ne balya bonna wamu.
9 Awia no, ɔbarima no ne ne mpena no ne ne ɔsomfoɔ boaboaa wɔn ho pɛɛ sɛ wɔkɔ. Nanso, nʼase no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Montie! Adeɛ reyɛ asa. Montena na monnye mo ani anadwo yi. Ɔkyena mobɛtumi asim anɔpahema.”
Omusajja bwe yagolokoka okugenda ne mukazi we n’omugole we, mukoddomi we kitaawe w’omuwala n’amugamba nti, “Laba, kaakano obudde buzibye. Sula obudde buyise. Sigala wano weesanyuse, onoogolokoka enkya n’oddayo ewuwo.”
10 Nanso, afei deɛ ɔbarima no pɛɛ sɛ ɔbɛkɔ. Enti ɔfaa ne mfunumu mmienu a wɔahyehyɛ wɔn no ne mpena no, na wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Yebus (a ɛyɛ Yerusalem).
Naye omusajja n’atakkiriza. N’asitula n’agenda ne mukazi we, n’endogoyi ze zombi nga zeetisse, ku luuyi olw’e Yebusi, ye Yerusaalemi.
11 Ɛberɛ a wɔduruu Yebus no na adeɛ reyɛ asa, na ɔsomfoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ne wura no sɛ, “Adeɛ reyɛ asa, enti momma yɛnna Yebusifoɔ kuropɔn yi mu anadwo yi.”
Bwe baali bali kumpi ne Yebusi, n’obudde nga buyise, omuweereza n’agamba mukama we nti, “Jjangu tukyame tuyingire mu kibuga kino eky’Abayebusi tusule omwo.”
12 Ne wura no buaa sɛ, “Dabi, yɛrentumi ntena ananafoɔ kuropɔn a Israelfoɔ nni mu yi mu. Yɛbɛtoa so akɔ Gibea.
Mukama we n’amuddamu nti, “Tetuukyame kuyingira mu kibuga ky’abatali baana ba Isirayiri, eky’abannaggwanga. Tujja kweyongerayo tulage e Gibea.”
13 Yɛbɛnya daberɛ anadwo yi wɔ Gibea anaa Rama.”
N’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Tusemberere ekimu ku bifo ebyo, tusule e Gibea oba mu Laama.”
14 Enti, wɔtoaa so. Wɔrebɛduru kuro Gibea a ɛwɔ Benyamin asase so no, na owia rekɔtɔ,
Ne beeyongerayo. Enjuba n’egwa nga basemberera Gibea ekya Benyamini.
15 Enti wɔdaa hɔ anadwo no. Wɔdaa kuro no abɔntene kɛseɛ so, na obiara amfa wɔn ankɔ fie ankɔsom wɔn hɔhoɔ.
Ne bakyama eyo mu Gibea, gye baba basula. Ne balaga mu kifo ekigazi eky’ekibuga ne batuula eyo, kyokka ne wataba muntu n’omu eyajja okubatwala ewuwe.
16 Anwummerɛ no, akɔkoraa bi firii nʼafuom baa fie. Na ɔfiri Efraim bepɔ asase so, nanso na ɔte Gibea wɔ Benyamin asase so.
Era laba, ne wajja omusajja omukadde eyali ava ku mirimu gye egy’omu nnimiro akawungeezi, ng’asibuka mu nsi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu, ng’abeera mu Gibea. Abantu b’e Gibea baayitibwanga Babenyamini.
17 Ɛberɛ a ɔhunuu akwantufoɔ yi sɛ wɔtete kuro no abɔntene kɛseɛ so no, ɔbisaa wɔn baabi a wɔfiri ne baabi a wɔrekorɔ.
N’ayimusa amaaso ge n’alaba omusajja omutambuze, ng’ali mu kifo ekigazi eky’ekibuga. Omusajja n’amubuuza nti, “Ova wa era olaga wa?”
18 Ɔbarima no buaa no sɛ, “Yɛfiri Betlehem a ɛwɔ Yudea na yɛrekɔ Efraim bepɔ asase no so kuro bi a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri, na yɛrekɔ Awurade Asɔrefie. Nanso obiara amfa yɛn ankɔ ne fie ankɔpɛ yɛn daberɛ,
N’amuddamu nti, “Nva mu Besirekemu mu Yuda, ndaga mu byalo eby’ensi ey’ensozi eya Efulayimu gye mbeera. Nva mu Besirekemu mu Yuda, nzirayo mu nnyumba ya Mukama, naye tewali anyannirizza mu nnyumba ye.”
19 ɛwom sɛ yɛwɔ deɛ ɛhia yɛn biara. Yɛwɔ ɛserɛ ne aduane a yɛde bɛma yɛn mfunumu; yɛwɔ burodo ne nsã.”
Wabula nnina essubi n’emmere ey’endogoyi zange, ate naffe abaweereza bo tulina emmere ne wayini ebitumala nze, n’omuweereza wo omukazi, n’omuvubuka.
20 Akɔkoraa no kaa sɛ, “Mommra mmɛsoɛ me. Mɛma mo biribiara a ɛbɛhia mo. Na mmom, anadwo yi deɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ moda abɔntene kɛseɛ so hɔ.”
Omusajja omukadde n’abagamba nti, “Mbanirizza ewange mwenna. Temwetaaga kusula mu kifo ekigazi eky’ekibuga.”
21 Enti, ɔfaa wɔn de wɔn kɔɔ ne fie, na ɔmaa wɔn mfunumu no aduane. Wɔhohoroo wɔn nan ase wieeɛ no, wɔbɔɔ mu didiiɛ.
Awo n’abatwala mu nnyumba ye, n’aliisa endogoyi ze, ne banaaba ku bigere, ne balya, ne banywa.
22 Ɛberɛ a wɔregye wɔn ani no, kuro no mu nnipa bɔnefoɔ bi bɛtwaa fie no ho hyiaeɛ. Wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ pempem ɛpono no teateaam guu akɔkoraa no so sɛ, “Fa ɔbarima a wabɛsoɛ wo no ma yɛn sɛdeɛ yɛbɛtumi ne no ada.”
Awo bwe baali nga beesanyusaamu, laba, abasajja ab’omu kibuga ekyo, abaana ab’obutali butuukirivu ne bazingiza ennyumba nga bwe bakoona oluggi. Ne bagamba nannyini nnyumba, omusajja omukadde nga bwe bawowoggana nti, “Fulumya omusajja oyo ayingidde mu nnyumba yo, tumusiyage.”
23 Akɔkoraa no firi baeɛ, bɛkasa kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Dabi, anuanom, monnyɛ bɔne a ɛte saa. Saa ɔbarima yi yɛ me hɔhoɔ na sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɛbɛyɛ animguaseɛ.
Nannyini nnyumba n’afuluma, n’abagamba nti, “Nedda mikwano gyange, temubeera bagwenyufu. Olw’okuba ng’omusajja ono azze mu nnyumba yange, temukola kintu kya buswavu bwe kityo.
24 Me babaa ɔbaabunu ne ɔbarima yi mpena nie. Mede wɔn bɛma mo. Na deɛ mopɛ biara no monyɛ wɔn. Na mo ne saa ɔbarima yi nyɛ saa animguasedeɛ yi.”
Mulaba muwala wange wuuno, mbeerera, ate n’omukazi w’omusajja naye nzija kubamuwa. Baabo mubakole kye mwagala. Naye omusajja ono temumukola kintu kya buswavu bwe kityo.”
25 Nanso, wɔantie no. Enti, Lewini no faa ne mpena no piaa no firii adi. Na kuro no mu mmarima no faa no nnidisoɔ nnidisoɔ kɔsii adekyeeɛ. Ahemadakye no na wɔgyaa no ma ɔkɔeɛ.
Naye abasajja ne bagaana okumuwuliriza. Omusajja kyeyava addira mukazi we, n’amufulumya, ne bamukwata ne bamusobyako ekiro kyonna, ne bamuta agende ng’emmambya esala.
26 Ɔbaa no kɔduruu fie a ne kunu no te mu no ɛpono ano ara pɛ na ɔtɔɔ mum. Ɔdaa hɔ ara kɔsii sɛ anim teteeɛ.
Omukazi n’addayo n’atuuka obudde nga bukya, n’agwa ku luggi lw’ennyumba, mukama we gye yali asuze, n’abeera awo okutuusa obudde bwe bwakya.
27 Ɛberɛ a ne kunu buee ɛpono sɛ ɔrepue pɛ na ɔhunuu sɛ ɔda hɔ. Na nʼanim butu hɔ a ne nsa gu aponnwa no so.
Mukama we bwe yagolokoka mu makya, n’aggulawo enzigi z’ennyumba ye n’afuluma agende ku lugendo lwe, laba, mukazi we ng’agudde mu maaso g’ennyumba, ng’emikono gye gikunukkiriza omulyango.
28 Ɔhunuu no no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Sɔre! Ma yɛnkɔ!” Nanso, wammua. Enti, ɔde no too nʼafunumu no so de no kɔɔ efie.
N’agamba mukazi we nti, “Golokoka tugende.” Kyokka ne wataba kanyego. Omusajja n’amuteeka ku ndogoyi, n’agenda ewuwe.
29 Ɔduruu fie no, ɔtwee sekan de twitwaa ne mpena no mu asinasini dumienu. Na ɔde esini baako biara kɔɔ Israel mmusuakuo dumienu no mu.
Bwe yatuuka ewuwe, n’addira akambe, n’akwata mukazi we, n’amusalaasalamu ebifi kkumi na bibiri, n’abiweereza mu buli kitundu ekya Isirayiri.
30 Na obiara a ɔhunuu saa aninyanneɛ yi kaa sɛ, “Ɛfiri ɛberɛ a Israel firii Misraim no, obi nnii saa amumuyɛsɛm yi bi da. Adɛn enti na ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛkasa na yɛyɛ ho biribi?”
Awo buli muntu eyabirabangako n’agamba nti, “Ekikolwa ekiri nga kino tekikolebwanga so tekirabibwanga okuva ku lunaku abaana ba Isirayiri lwe baayambukirako okuva mu nsi y’e Misiri n’okutuusa leero. Mukirowoozeeko, mukifumiitirizeeko era tulabe eky’okukola.”
