< 4 Mose 21 >
1 Arad ɔhene a ɔyɛ Kanaanni a ɔte Negeb tee sɛ Israelfoɔ nam Atarim ɛkwan so reba. Ɔboaboaa nʼakodɔm ano kɔto hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ no so kyekyeree binom sɛ nneduafoɔ.
Mfumu ya Akanaani ya ku Aradi, imene inkakhala ku Negevi, itamva kuti Aisraeli akubwera kudzera msewu wopita ku Atarimu, inachita nkhondo ndi Aisraeli nigwira ena mwa iwo.
2 Afei, Israelfoɔ no kaa ntam kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ, sɛ ɔbɛboa wɔn ama wɔadi Arad ɔhene ne de dɔm so a, anka wɔbɛgu nkuro akɛseɛ a ɛwɔ hɔ nyinaa.
Ndipo Israeli anachita lonjezo ili kwa Yehova: “Mukapereka anthu awa mʼdzanja lathu ife tidzawonongeratu mizinda yawo.”
3 Awurade tiee wɔn abisadeɛ no, enti ɔmaa wɔdii Kanaanfoɔ no so; Israelfoɔ no sɛee wɔn ne wɔn nkuro akɛseɛ pasaa. Wɔtoo hɔ edin Horma a aseɛ ne “Ɔsɛeɛ.”
Yehova anamva pempho la Aisraeli ndipo anapereka Akanaaniwo kwa iwo. Anawawononga pamodzi ndi mizinda yawo. Kotero malowo anatchedwa Horima.
4 Afei, Israelfoɔ no sane kɔɔ Bepɔ Hor so. Wɔfiri hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ anafoɔ fam ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no so no so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛtumi atwa kanko afa Edom ho. Nnipa no aba mu buiɛ.
Aisraeli anayenda kuchokera ku phiri la Hori kudzera njira ya ku Nyanja Yofiira kuzungulira dziko la Edomu. Koma anthu anataya mtima mʼnjiramo
5 Wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ nwiinwii tiaa Onyankopɔn enti wɔkaa wɔn ahiasɛm kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woayi yɛn afiri Misraim de yɛn aba sɛ yɛmmɛwuwu ɛserɛ yi so? Aduane a yɛbɛdie nni ha. Nsuo a yɛbɛnom nso nni ha. Mana yi nso deɛ, afono yɛn.”
ndipo anayankhula motsutsana ndi Mulungu ndi Mose, nati, “Chifukwa chiyani munatitulutsa kuchoka mʼdziko la Igupto kuti tidzafere mʼchipululu muno? Kuno kulibe chakudya, kulibe madzi ndipo chakudya cha chabechabechi tatopa nacho.”
6 Enti, Awurade maa awɔ a wɔn ano wɔ borɔ yie kɔkekaa wɔn mu bebree ma wɔwuwuiɛ.
Choncho Yehova anatumiza njoka zaululu pakati pawo. Zinaluma anthu ndipo Aisraeli ambiri anafa.
7 Afei, nnipa no baa Mose nkyɛn bɛsrɛɛ sɛ, “Yɛayɛ bɔne, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛakasa atia Awurade ne wo. Bɔ mpaeɛ kyerɛ Awurade na awɔ no nkɔ.” Mose bɔɔ mpaeɛ maa nnipa no.
Anthuwo anabwera kwa Mose ndi kunena kuti, “Tachimwa chifukwa tayankhula motsutsana ndi Yehova komanso inu. Pempherani kwa Yehova kuti atichotsere njokazi.” Tsono Mose anapempherera anthuwo.
8 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Fa kɔbere yɛ saa awɔ yi mu baako sɛso na fa no sɛn poma bi so, na sɛ awɔ no bi ka obi na onii no hwɛ no kɛkɛ a, ɔrenwu.”
Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Upange njoka yaululu ndipo uyipachike pa mtengo. Aliyense amene walumidwa akangoyangʼana njokayo adzakhala ndi moyo.”
9 Enti, Mose yɛɛ ɔwɔ sɛso no; na obiara a ɔwɔ no bi bɛka no no, sɛ ɔpagya nʼani hwɛ no a, ɔnwu.
Pamenepo Mose anapanga njoka yamkuwa ndi kuyipachika pa mtengo. Ndipo aliyense wolumidwa akayangʼana njoka yamkuwayo ankakhala ndi moyo.
10 Israelfoɔ no firi hɔ no, wɔtoaa wɔn akwantuo no so kɔɔ Obot kɔtenaa hɔ.
Aisraeli anayendabe nakamanga misasa yawo ku Oboti.
11 Afei, wɔtoaa so kɔɔ Iye-Abarim wɔ ɛserɛ so wɔ Moab apueeɛ fam.
Kenaka anasamuka ku Oboti nakamanga misasa yawo ku Iye-Abarimu, mʼchipululu chimene chili kummawa kwa Mowabu, kotulukira dzuwa.
12 Wɔfiri hɔ no, wɔtoaa so kɔɔ asuwa Sered Subɔnhwa mu kɔbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ hɔ.
Kuchoka kumeneko anayendabe nakamanga misasa yawo mʼchigwa cha Zeredi.
13 Afei, wɔtu kɔɔ akyirikyiri fam wɔ Asubɔnten Arnon nkyɛn hɔ baabi a wɔne Amorifoɔ bɔ hyeɛ. Asubɔnten Arnon na ɛyɛ ɛhyeɛ a ɛda Moabfoɔ ne Amorifoɔ ntam.
Anasamukanso kumeneko nakamanga moyandikana ndi Arinoni mʼdera limene lili mʼchipululu chimene chimafika mʼdziko la Aamori. Arinoni ndiwo malire a Mowabu ndi Aamori.
14 Enti, wɔkaa saa asɛm yi wɔ Awurade akodie nwoma no mu sɛ, asubɔnten Arnon subɔnhwa ne kuro Waheb
Nʼchifukwa chake Buku la Nkhondo za Yehova limati, “Mzinda wa Wahebu uli mu Sufa, mu zigwa za Arinoni,
15 da Amorifoɔ ne Moabfoɔ ntam.
ku matsitso a zigwa amene afika mpaka ku Ari nakhudza malire a dziko la Mowabu.”
16 Afei, Israelfoɔ no toaa wɔn akwantuo no so kɔɔ Beer a aseɛ ne “Abura.” Ɛha na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Frɛfrɛ nnipa no nyinaa bra na mɛma wɔn nsuo.”
Kuchokera kumeneko anapitirira mpaka ku Beeri, pa chitsime chomwe Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Sonkhanitsa anthu pamodzi ndipo ndidzawapatsa madzi.”
17 Ɛhɔ na Israelfoɔ too dwom sɛ, “Tue Ao, Abura! To ho dwom!
Pamenepo Aisraeli anayimba nyimbo iyi: “Tulutsa madzi, chitsime iwe! Chiyimbireni nyimbo,
18 To abura yi ho dwom, mmapɔmma na wɔtuiɛ; na akunini titii mu wɔde wɔn ahempoma ne wɔn poma.” Afei, Israelfoɔ no firii ɛserɛ no so kɔfaa Matana,
chitsime chomwe anakumba mafumu, chomwe anakumba anthu omveka, ndi ndodo zawo zaufumu ndi ndodo zawo zoyendera.” Kenaka anachoka ku chipululu ndi kupita ku Matana.
Kuchoka ku Matana anapita ku Nahalieli, kuchoka ku Nahalieli anapita ku Bamoti,
20 Afei wɔkɔɔ Pisga atifi a ɛwɔ Moab bɔnhwa no mu, baabi a wogyina a wohunu asase tamaa no.
ndipo atachoka ku Bamoti anapita ku chigwa cha dziko la Mowabu kudzera njira ya pamwamba pa phiri la Pisiga, moyangʼanana ndi Yesimoni.
21 Afei, Israelfoɔ tuu abɔfoɔ ma wɔde nkra yi kɔmaa Amorifoɔhene Sihon sɛ:
Aisraeli anatumiza amithenga kwa Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, kuti,
22 “Momma yɛntwa mu mfa mo ɔman yi mu. Yɛbɛfa ɛkwan tempɔn so, na yɛremfiri so kɔsi sɛ yɛbɛtra mo hyeɛ. Yɛrentiatia mo mfudeɛ so, yɛremfa yɛn nsa nka mo bobe nturo, na yɛrennom mo abura mu nsuo.”
“Tiloleni kuti tidutse mʼdziko mwanu. Sitidzapatukira mʼminda mwanu kapena mu mpesa wanu kapena kumwa madzi mʼchitsime chili chonse. Tidzayenda mu msewu waukulu wa mfumu mpaka titadutsa malire a dziko lanu.”
23 Nanso ɔhene Sihon ampene so. Na mmom, ɔboaboaa nʼakodɔm ano kɔto hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ so wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ ne wɔn koo wɔ Yahas.
Koma Sihoni sanalole kuti Aisraeli adutse mʼdziko mwake. Iye anasonkhanitsa pamodzi ankhondo ake onse kuti akamenyane ndi Aisraeli mʼchipululu. Atafika pa Yahazi anamenyana ndi Aisraeli.
24 Nanso Israelfoɔ no kunkumm wɔn faa wɔn asase a ɛfiri Asubɔnten Arnon kɔsi asuo Yabok ho toaa so kɔsii Amorifoɔ ahyeɛ so, nanso wɔkɔhyiaa Amon mma ahoɔdenfoɔ bi a wɔakyere sraban enti wɔantumi anko ankɔ wɔn anim bio.
Koma Aisraeli anamupha ndi kulanda dziko lake kuchokera ku Arinoni mpaka ku Yaboki, kulekezera mʼmalire a dziko la Aamoni, chifukwa malire a dziko la Aamoni anali otetezedwa.
25 Enti Israelfoɔ no faa Amorifoɔ no nkuro akɛseɛ nyinaa a Hesbon kuropɔn ne ne nkuraase nyinaa ka ho tenaa mu.
Ndipo Aisraeli analanda mizinda yonse ya Aamori, nakhalamo kuphatikizapo Hesiboni ndi midzi yake yozungulira.
26 Na Hesbon yɛ Amorifoɔhene Sihon Kuropɔn. Sihon na ɛda bi ɔko tiaa Moabhene faa ne nsase nyinaa bɛsii Asubɔnten Arnon no.
Hesiboni unali mzinda wa Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, yemwe anamenyana ndi mfumu yakale ya dziko la Mowabu. Lonselo linakhala dziko lake mpaka ku Arinoni.
27 Ne sei enti tete, anwensɛm twerɛfoɔ twerɛɛ yei faa ne ho sɛ, “Bra Hesbon, Sihon kuropɔn, yɛnkyekyere na ɛnsi ne dada mu.
Nʼchifukwa chake alakatuli amati: “Bwerani ku Hesiboni, mzindawo umangidwenso; mzinda wa Sihoni ukhazikike.
28 “Egya turi firii Hesbon Ogyaframa firii Sihon ahenkuro mu, Ɛhyee Ar kuropɔn a ɛwɔ Moab; ɛsɛee sodifoɔ a wɔwɔ Arnon mmepɔ so.
“Moto unabuka ku Hesiboni, malawi a moto kuchokera mu mzinda wa Sihoni. Unanyeketsa Ari mzinda wa ku Mowabu, nzika za ku malo okwera a Arinoni.
29 Ao Moabfoɔ, mosɛeɛ bɛba mu! Wɔawie mo, mo a mosom Kemos! Kemos agya ne mmammarima sɛ atutenafoɔ, Ne ne mmammaa sɛ Amorifoɔhene Sihon nnommumfoɔ.
Tsoka kwa iwe Mowabu! Mwawonongedwa inu anthu a ku Kemosi! Ana ake aamuna wawasandutsa ngati anthu othawathawa ndipo ana ake aakazi ngati akapolo, akapolo a Sihoni, mfumu ya Aamori.
30 “Yɛasɛe wɔn pasaa, ɛfiri Hesbon tɔnn kɔsi Dibon. Yɛasɛe wɔn ara akɔsi Nofa De kɔ ara kɔsi Medeba.”
“Koma ife tawagonjetsa; Hesiboni wawonongedwa mʼnjira monse mpaka kufika ku Diboni. Tawaphwasula mpaka ku mzinda wa Nofa, mzinda womwe umafika ku Medeba.
31 Enti Israelfoɔ no tenaa Amorifoɔ asase so.
“Choncho Aisraeli anakhala mʼdziko la Aamori.”
32 Mose somaa akwansrafoɔ sɛ wɔnkɔsrasra Yaser fa mu hɔ. Ɔde asraafoɔ toaa wɔn, faa wɔn nkuro nyinaa, pamoo Amorifoɔ no.
Mose atatumiza azondi ku Yazeri, Aisraeliwo analanda midzi yozungulira ndi kuthamangitsa Aamori omwe ankakhala kumeneko.
33 Afei, wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ kuro kɛseɛ Basan, nanso Basanhene Og de nʼasraafoɔ hyiaa wɔn wɔ Edrei.
Kenaka anabwerera, nadzera njira ya ku Basani. Choncho Ogi mfumu ya ku Basani ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo anatuluka kukakumana nawo ndipo anamenyana nawo ku Ederi.
34 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔnnsuro na wadi atamfoɔ no so dada. Awurade sane hyɛɛ Mose nkuran sɛ asɛm a ɛtoo ɔhene Sihon wɔ Hesbon no, saa asɛm korɔ no ara bi na ɛbɛto no.
Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Usachite naye mantha pakuti ndamupereka mʼmanja mwako pamodzi ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo ndi dziko lake lomwe. Ndipo uchite kwa iye zimene unachita Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, amene ankalamulira ku Hesiboni.”
35 Ampa ara, Israelfoɔ dii nkonim na wɔkumm ɔhene Og ne ne mmammarima ne ne nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa a anka wɔn mu baako mpo. Enti Israelfoɔ no tenaa asase no so.
Choncho Aisraeli anapha Ogi pamodzi ndi ana ake aamuna ndi gulu lake lonse la nkhondo. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene anatsala wamoyo, ndipo analanda dziko lakelo.
