4 Mose 14
1 Afei, nnipa no nyinaa firii aseɛ suu dendeenden anadwo no nyinaa.
Lenhlangano yonke yasiziphakamisa, yazwakalisa ilizwi layo; abantu basebekhala inyembezi ngalobobusuku.
2 Wɔde nne korɔ kasa tiaa Mose ne Aaron. Wɔsuu sɛ, “Sɛ yɛwuwuu wɔ Misraim anaa ɛserɛ so ha a, anka yɛpɛ no saa ara
Bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebengunguna bemelene loMozisi loAroni; lenhlangano yonke yathi kubo: Kungathi ngabe safela elizweni leGibhithe, kumbe kungathi ngabe safela kule inkangala!
3 sen sɛ wɔde yɛn bɛkɔ kuro a ɛwɔ yɛn anim no so. Awurade bɛkum yɛn wɔ hɔ na yɛn yerenom ne yɛn mma ayɛ nkoa wɔ hɔ. Momma yɛmfiri ha na yɛnkɔ Misraim!”
Njalo kungani iNkosi isilethe kulelilizwe ukuthi siwe ngenkemba? Omkethu labantwanyana bethu bazakuba yimpango. Bekungebe ngcono kithi ukubuyela eGibhithe yini?
4 Saa asɛm yi dii wɔn nyinaa tirim dɛm. Enti wɔteaam sɛ, “Momma yɛnyi ɔpanin bi na ɔnni yɛn anim nsane mfa yɛn nkɔ Misraim.”
Basebesithi omunye komunye: Asimiseni inhloko, sibuyele eGibhithe.
5 Afei, Mose ne Aaron de wɔn anim butubutuu fam wɔ Israelfoɔ no anim.
UMozisi loAroni basebesithi mbo ngobuso babo phambi kwebandla lonke lenhlangano yabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
6 Akwansrafoɔ baanu, a wɔn ne Nun babarima Yosua ne Yefune babarima Kaleb sunsuanee wɔn ntadeɛ mu
UJoshuwa indodana kaNuni loKalebi indodana kaJefune ababengabalabo abahlola ilizwe, basebedabula izembatho zabo,
7 na wɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa sɛ, “Asase a ɛda yɛn anim no yɛ asase pa.
bakhuluma kunhlangano yonke yabantwana bakoIsrayeli besithi: Ilizwe esadabula kulo ukuze silihlole yilizwe elihle kakhulukazi.
8 Na sɛ yɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɔde yɛn bɛduru asase no so dwoodwoo na ɔde hɔ ahyɛ yɛn nsa. Ɛyɛ asase bereɛ, asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ sen wɔ soɔ, na ɔde bɛma yɛn.
Uba iNkosi ithokoza ngathi, izasingenisa kulelilizwe, isinike lona, ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju.
9 Ao, monnyɛ dɔm ntia Awurade, na monnsuro nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so no nso. Na wɔte sɛ burodo bi a yɛdie ma yɛn! Awurade ne yɛn wɔ hɔ na wɔn deɛ, wayi ne nsa afiri wɔn so! Monnsuro wɔn!”
Kuphela lingayivukeli iNkosi; futhi lina lingesabi abantu belizwe, ngoba bayikudla kwethu. Umthunzi wabo usukile kubo; leNkosi ilathi; lingabesabi.
10 Nanso mmuaeɛ a nnipa no maeɛ ara ne sɛ, wɔbɛsi wɔn aboɔ. Afei, Awurade animuonyam baeɛ
Kodwa inhlangano yonke yathi kabakhandwe ngamatshe. Inkazimulo yeNkosi yasibonakala ethenteni lenhlangano kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
11 na Awurade bisaa Mose sɛ, “Nnipa yi bɛbu me animtia akɔsi da bɛn? Anwanwadeɛ dodoɔ a mayɛ akyerɛ wɔn yi nyinaa akyi no, wɔnnye me nni?
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Koze kube nini lababantu bengidelela? Koze kube nini bengangikholwa, ngazo zonke izibonakaliso engizenze phakathi kwabo?
12 Mɛgye wɔn nsam nneɛma a mede ama wɔn nyinaa na mama ɔyaredɔm asɛe wɔn na mayɛ mo ɔman kɛseɛ a ɛso sene wɔn!”
Ngizabatshaya ngomatshayabhuqe wesifo, ngibathathele ilifa, ngikwenze ube yisizwe esikhulu lesilamandla kulabo.
13 Mose srɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Na sɛ Misraimfoɔ yi te a, ɛdeɛn asɛm na wɔbɛdwene? Wɔn nyinaa hunuu tumi a wonam so de gyee wo nkurɔfoɔ.
UMozisi wasesithi eNkosini: Khona amaGibhithe azakuzwa; ngoba wenyuse lababantu phakathi kwawo ngamandla akho.
14 Wɔaka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔte asase yi so a wɔnim, Awurade, sɛ wowɔ Israel afa, na wo ne wɔn kasa anim ne anim. Wɔhunu omununkum dum ne ogya sɛ ɛgyina yɛn atifi, na wɔnim sɛ wodi yɛn anim bɔ yɛn ho ban awia ne anadwo.
Njalo azatshela abahlali balelilizwe. Bazwile ukuthi wena Nkosi uphakathi kwalababantu, ukuthi wena Nkosi ubonwa ubuso ngobuso, lokuthi iyezi lakho lima phezu kwabo, uhamba phambi kwabo usensikeni yeyezi emini lensikeni yomlilo ebusuku.
15 Na sɛ wokum wo nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa a, aman a wɔate wo din no bɛka sɛ,
Uba ubulala lababantu njengomuntu oyedwa, izizwe ezizwe ngendumela yakho zizakhuluma zisithi:
16 ‘ɛsɛ sɛ Awurade kum wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wantumi anhwɛ wɔn so wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ. Ɔnni ahoɔden a ɔnam so bɛtumi de wɔn aba asase a ɔkaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn no so.’
Ngoba iNkosi yayingelakho ukungenisa lababantu elizweni eyabafungela lona, ngakho ibabulele enkangala.
17 “Ao, mesrɛ wo, fa wo tumi kɛseɛ a ntoboaseɛ wɔ mu no so fa yɛn bɔne kyɛ yɛn, na dɔ yɛn yie. Ɛwom sɛ woaka sɛ,
Khathesi-ke, ngiyancenga, kawabe makhulu amandla eNkosi yami, njengokutsho kwakho usithi:
18 ‘Awurade bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso. Nanso ɔbɔnefoɔ remfa ne ho nni a wɔntwe nʼaso; nanso, fa yɛn bɔne kyɛ yɛn. Yɛnim sɛ wonam agyanom bɔne so twee wɔn mma a wɔwɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ mmiɛnsa ne nan mu no aso.’
INkosi iyaphuza ukuthukuthela, njalo inkulu emuseni, ithethelela ububi leziphambeko, kodwa engayikumyekela lokumyekela olecala, iphindisela ububi baboyise phezu kwabantwana kwesesithathu lesesine isizukulwana.
19 Ao, mesrɛ wo, fa saa nnipa yi bɔne kyɛ wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wo dɔ enti, wode wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn firi Misraim abɛsi saa ɛberɛ yi.”
Thethelela, ngiyancenga, ububi balababantu njengobukhulu bomusa wakho, lanjengalokho ubathethelele lababantu kusukela eGibhithe kuze kube khathesi.
20 Awurade kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, mede bɛkyɛ wɔn sɛdeɛ woabisa no.
INkosi yasisithi: Sengibathethelele njengokwelizwi lakho.
21 Nanso, sɛ mete ase yi, na Awurade animuonyam ahyɛ asase nyinaa ma yi,
Kodwa isibili, njengalokhu ngiphila, umhlaba wonke uzagcwala ngenkazimulo yeNkosi.
22 saa nnipa yi mu biara rensi asase no so ɛda biara da. Wɔahunu mʼanimuonyam ne anwanwadeɛ a meyɛɛ wɔ Misraim ne ɛserɛ so no, nanso ɛberɛ biara wɔyɛ asoɔden de sɔ me hwɛ.
Ngoba wonke amadoda abone inkazimulo yami lezibonakaliso zami engazenza eGibhithe lenkangala, langilingileyo lezizikhathi ezilitshumi, kawezwanga ilizwi lami,
23 Wɔrenhunu asase a mede hyɛɛ wɔn agyanom bɔ no. Wɔn a wɔyɛɛ asoɔden kyerɛɛ me no mu biara rensi hɔ.
isibili kabayikubona ilizwe engalifungela oyise; futhi kakho owalabo abangideleleyo ozalibona.
24 Nanso, mʼakoa Kaleb yɛ onipa sononko. Wadi me nsɛm so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Mede no bɛkɔ asase a ɔkɔɔ so sɛ ɔkwansrafoɔ no, na nʼasefoɔ anya ɛhɔ mu kyɛfa.
Kodwa inceku yami uKalebi, ngoba omunye umoya ubulaye, wangilandela ngokupheleleyo; ngakho ngizamngenisa elizweni ayengene kilo; lenzalo yakhe izakudla ilifa lalo.
25 Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ Israelfoɔ suro Amalekfoɔ na Kanaanfoɔ tete bɔnhwa mu no enti, ɔkyena, ɛsɛ sɛ mosane de mo ani kyerɛ Po Kɔkɔɔ no kɔ ɛserɛ so.”
(AmaAmaleki lamaKhanani ahlala-ke esigodini.) Kusasa phendukani, lisuke liziyele enkangala ngendlela yoLwandle oluBomvu.
26 Awurade bisaa Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi:
27 “Da bɛn na saa nnipa bɔnefoɔ yi bɛgyae me ho nkɔmmɔdie? Na mate nsɛm a wɔka fa me ho nyinaa.
Koze kube nini ngilalinhlangano embi, engingungunelayo? Ngizwile ukungunguna kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli abangunguna ngakho bemelene lami.
28 Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Awurade ka ntam sɛ ɔbɛyɛ deɛ mosuro.
Tshono kibo uthi: Sibili njengoba ngiphila, kutsho iNkosi, njengalokhu likhulume endlebeni zami, ngizakwenza njalo kini.
29 Mo nyinaa mobɛwuwu wɔ ɛserɛ so ha: Ɛfiri wɔn a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu rekorɔ no a wɔadi me ho nkɔmmɔ no,
Izidumbu zenu zizawela enkangala le, labo bonke ababaliweyo benu, njengokwenani lonke lenu, kusukela koleminyaka engamatshumi amabili langaphezulu, lina abangingunguneleyo;
30 wɔn mu biara renkɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Wɔn a wɔbɛkɔ hɔ ara ne Yefune babarima Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua.
sibili lina kaliyikungena elizweni engiliphakamisele isandla sami ukulihlalisa kulo, ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune loJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.
31 Moka sɛ mo mma bɛyɛ nnipa a wɔte asase no so no nkoa. Ɛyɛ, mede wɔn bɛkɔ asase no so dwoodwoo ama wɔakɔfa deɛ mose mompɛ no.
Kodwa abantwanyana benu elathi ngabo bazakuba yimpango, ngizabangenisa, bazalazi ilizwe elalilahlayo.
32 Na mo deɛ, mo amu na ɛbɛka ɛserɛ so ha.
Lina-ke, izidumbu zenu zizawela kulinkangala.
33 Ɛsɛ sɛ mokyini ɛserɛ so ha sɛ atutenafoɔ mfeɛ aduanan. Saa ɛkwan yi so na mobɛfa atua mo gyidie a monni ho ka kɔsi sɛ onipa a ɔtwa toɔ no bɛwu atɔ ɛserɛ so ha.
Labantwana benu bazakuba ngabelusi enkangala iminyaka engamatshumi amane, bathwale ukuphinga kwenu, izidumbu zenu zize ziphele enkangala.
34 Esiane sɛ akwansrafoɔ no tenaa asase no so adaduanan no enti, ɛsɛ sɛ mo nso mokyinkyini ɛserɛ no so mfeɛ aduanan a afe biara gyina hɔ ma ɛda koro a ɛyɛ mo bɔne so akatua. Sɛ meyɛ obi ɔtamfoɔ a mobɛhunu sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ.’
Njengokwenani lezinsuku elahlola ngazo ilizwe, insuku ezingamatshumi amane, usuku ngomnyaka, usuku ngomnyaka, lizathwala ububi benu, iminyaka engamatshumi amane, lazi ukufulathela kwami.
35 Me, Awurade, na makasa. Mo mu biara a wayɛ dɔm atia me no bɛwu wɔ ɛserɛ so ha.”
Mina Nkosi ngikhulumile. Isibili ngizakwenza lokhu kulinhlangano yonke embi ebuthene imelene lami; kulinkangala bazaphela, bafele khona.
36 Akwansrafoɔ edu no a wɔbɔɔ nnipa no hu ma wɔyɛɛ dɔm tiaa Awurade no,
Njalo amadoda uMozisi awathumayo ukuhlola ilizwe, esephenduka, enza inhlangano yonke yamngungunela ngokuletha umbiko omubi mayelana lelizwe,
37 wɔkunkumm wɔn wɔ Awurade anim.
lamadoda aletha umbiko omubi ngelizwe afa ngenhlupheko phambi kweNkosi.
38 Akwansrafoɔ no nyinaa, Kaleb ne Yosua nko ara na wɔtenaa ase.
Kodwa uJoshuwa indodana kaNuni loKalebi indodana kaJefune, kulawomadoda ayeyehlola ilizwe, asala ephila.
39 Mose kɔkaa nsɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ nnipa no no, wɔn nyinaa werɛ hoeɛ.
Njalo uMozisi wakhuluma la amazwi kubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli; abantu basebelila kakhulu.
40 Wɔsɔree anɔpahema sɛ wɔrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛahunu sɛ yɛayɛ bɔne, nanso, yɛasiesie yɛn ho sɛ yɛbɛkɔ asase a Awurade hyɛɛ yɛn ho bɔ no so.”
Basebevuka ekuseni kakhulu, benyukela engqongeni yentaba, besithi: Khangelani silapha, sizakwenyukela endaweni iNkosi eyithembisileyo; ngoba sonile.
41 Nanso, Mose kaa sɛ, “Aka akyi. Afei, morebu Awurade asɛm a ɔkaa sɛ monsane nkɔ ɛserɛ so no so.
Kodwa uMozisi wathi: Kungani-ke liseqa umlayo weNkosi? Ngoba kakuyikuphumelela.
42 Monnkɔ sɛdeɛ moasusu no, anyɛ saa a, atamfoɔ no bɛdi mo so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade nni mo afa.
Lingenyuki, ngoba iNkosi kayikho phakathi kwenu, ukuze lingatshaywa phambi kwezitha zenu.
43 Mo werɛ afiri sɛ Amalekfoɔ ne Kanaanfoɔ wɔ hɔ? Moapa Awurade enti ɔno nso bɛpa mo.”
Ngoba amaAmaleki lamaKhanani alapho phambi kwenu; njalo lizakuwa ngenkemba, ngoba njengoba liphendukile ekulandeleni iNkosi, iNkosi kayiyikuba lani.
44 Nanso, wɔtoaa so foro kɔɔ bepɔ no so a ɛmfa wɔn ho sɛ Awurade adaka no ne Mose mu biara amfiri atenaeɛ hɔ.
Kodwa ngokuziqhenya benyukela engqongeni yentaba, kodwa umtshokotsho wesivumelwano seNkosi loMozisi kawuphumanga phakathi kwenkamba.
45 Afei, Amalekfoɔ ne Kanaanfoɔ a wɔte bepɔ no so no siane baa fam bɛto hyɛɛ wɔn so boroo wɔn ara kɔsii Horma.
AmaAmaleki asesehla, lamaKhanani ahlala kulezozintaba, abatshaya, abahlakaza kwaze kwaba seHorma.
