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.
Kwathi inkosi yase-Aradi engumKhenani eyayihlala eNegebi isizwa ukuthi abako-Israyeli babesiza behamba ngomgwaqo beqonde e-Atharimi, yabahlasela abako-Israyeli yaze yathumba abanye babo.
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.
Ngakho u-Israyeli wenza lesisifungo kuThixo wathi: “Nxa unganikela lababantu ezandleni zethu, sizachithiza amadolobho abo nya.”
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.”
UThixo walalela ukuncenga kwabako-Israyeli wasenikela amaKhenani kubo. Abako-Israyeli bawaqothula amaKhenani bachithiza kanye lamadolobho awo; ngakho indawo leyo yabizwa ngokuthi yiHoma.
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.
Bahamba besuka entabeni yaseHori ngendlela eqonda oLwandle oluBomvu, ukuze baceze ilizwe lase-Edomi. Kodwa besendleleni abantu basebenengekile sebephelelwe yikubekezela;
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.”
bakhuluma kubi besola uNkulunkulu kanye loMosi, bathi, “Lasikhuphelani na eGibhithe ukuze sizefela enkangala? Akulasinkwa! Akulamanzi! Futhi lalokhu ukudla kwenu okubi siyakuzonda.”
6 Enti, Awurade maa awɔ a wɔn ano wɔ borɔ yie kɔkekaa wɔn mu bebree ma wɔwuwuiɛ.
Ngakho uThixo wasebathumela izinyoka ezazilobuhlungu obesabekayo kakhulu, zabaluma abantu bako-Israyeli abanengi bafa.
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.
Abantu baya kuMosi bathi, “Sonile ngokukhuluma kwethu kubi ngoThixo langokukhuluma kwethu ngawe. Akukhuleke ukuthi uThixo asuse izinyoka lezi phakathi kwethu.” Ngakho wabakhulekela abantu.
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.”
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Yenza inyoka yethusi uyiphanyeke esigodweni; loba ngubani olunyiweyo angakhangela kuyo uzaphila.”
9 Enti, Mose yɛɛ ɔwɔ sɛso no; na obiara a ɔwɔ no bi bɛka no no, sɛ ɔpagya nʼani hwɛ no a, ɔnwu.
Ngakho uMosi wenza inyoka yethusi wayiphanyeka esigodweni. Kwakusithi lowo olunywe yinyoka angakhangela inyoka yethusi aphile.
10 Israelfoɔ no firi hɔ no, wɔtoaa wɔn akwantuo no so kɔɔ Obot kɔtenaa hɔ.
Abako-Israyeli basuka baqhubeka baze bayamisa izihonqo zabo e-Obhothi.
11 Afei, wɔtoaa so kɔɔ Iye-Abarim wɔ ɛserɛ so wɔ Moab apueeɛ fam.
Basuka njalo e-Obhothi bayamisa izihonqo zabo e-Iye-Abharimi, enkangala eyayimalungana leMowabi ngokuya ngempumalanga.
12 Wɔfiri hɔ no, wɔtoaa so kɔɔ asuwa Sered Subɔnhwa mu kɔbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ hɔ.
Besuka lapho baqhubeka ngohambo baze bayamisa izihonqo zabo esigodini saseZeredi.
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.
Basuka lapho bayamisa izihonqo zabo eduze le-Arinoni esenkangala eqhelela elizweni lama-Amori. I-Arinoni isemngceleni welaseMowabi, phakathi laphakathi kweMowabi kanye lama-Amori.
14 Enti, wɔkaa saa asɛm yi wɔ Awurade akodie nwoma no mu sɛ, asubɔnten Arnon subɔnhwa ne kuro Waheb
Kungakho uGwalo lweziMpi zikaThixo lusithi: “Lokho akwenza oLwandle oLubomvu lakwenza emifuleni yeWahebhi eseSufa lemifuleni yase-Arinoni
15 da Amorifoɔ ne Moabfoɔ ntam.
lamawa ezindonga ehlela endaweni yase-Ari lasekela umngcele weMowabi.”
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.”
Besuka lapho baqhubeka baze bayafika eBheri, emthonjeni lapho uThixo athi kuMosi, “Buthanisa abantu ngibanike amanzi.”
17 Ɛhɔ na Israelfoɔ too dwom sɛ, “Tue Ao, Abura! To ho dwom!
Ngakho abako-Israyeli bahlabela ingoma le ethi: “Mpompoza, wemthombo! Hlabelelani ngawo,
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,
ngomthombo owenjiwa ngamakhosana, owenjiwa yizikhulu zabantu, izikhulu ezilentonga zobukhosi kanye lezinduku.” Basuka-ke enkangala bayafika eMathana,
19 Nahaliel ne Bamot.
besuka eMathana baya eNahaliyeli, besuka eNahaliyeli, baya eBhamothi,
20 Afei wɔkɔɔ Pisga atifi a ɛwɔ Moab bɔnhwa no mu, baabi a wogyina a wohunu asase tamaa no.
kwathi besuka eBhamothi baqonda esigodini eMowabi, lapho isiqongo sentaba yasePhisiga esikhangele elizweni elilugwadule.
21 Afei, Israelfoɔ tuu abɔfoɔ ma wɔde nkra yi kɔmaa Amorifoɔhene Sihon sɛ:
U-Israyeli wathumela izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori wathi:
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.”
“Sivumele sidabule elizweni lakho. Kasiyikuphambukela loba lakuliphi icele ukuze singene loba kuwaphi amasimu akho kumbe isivini, loba ukunatha amanzi emthonjeni loba yiwuphi. Sizazihambela nje ngomgwaqo omkhulu weNkosi size sedlule elizweni lakho.”
23 Nanso ɔhene Sihon ampene so. Na mmom, ɔboaboaa nʼakodɔm ano kɔto hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ so wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ ne wɔn koo wɔ Yahas.
Kodwa uSihoni kavumanga ukuthi u-Israyeli adabule elizweni lakhe. USihoni waqoqa ibutho lakhe waphuma waqonda enkangala ukuyahlasela u-Israyeli. Wathi esefikile eJahazi walwa lo-Israyeli.
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.
Kodwa u-Israyeli wamnqoba ngenkemba, wambhubhisa njalo wamthathela ilizwe lakhe kusukela e-Arinoni kusiya eJabhoki, kusiyafika elizweni lama-Amoni kuphela, ngoba umngcele walo wawuvikelwe ngemithangala.
25 Enti Israelfoɔ no faa Amorifoɔ no nkuro akɛseɛ nyinaa a Hesbon kuropɔn ne ne nkuraase nyinaa ka ho tenaa mu.
U-Israyeli wathatha wonke amadolobho ama-Amori wahlala kuwo, kwakugoqela iHeshibhoni kanye leziqinti ezaziyigombolozele.
26 Na Hesbon yɛ Amorifoɔhene Sihon Kuropɔn. Sihon na ɛda bi ɔko tiaa Moabhene faa ne nsase nyinaa bɛsii Asubɔnten Arnon no.
IHeshibhoni kwakulidolobho likaSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayelwe lenkosi yamaMowabi eyayikade ibusa khona wayinqoba wayithathela ilizwe layo lonke kuze kuyefika e-Arinoni.
27 Ne sei enti tete, anwensɛm twerɛfoɔ twerɛɛ yei faa ne ho sɛ, “Bra Hesbon, Sihon kuropɔn, yɛnkyekyere na ɛnsi ne dada mu.
Yingakho izimbongi zisithi: “Wozani eHeshibhoni; kayivuselelwe yakhiwe njalo; akuthi idolobho likaSihoni livuselelwe.
28 “Egya turi firii Hesbon Ogyaframa firii Sihon ahenkuro mu, Ɛhyee Ar kuropɔn a ɛwɔ Moab; ɛsɛee sodifoɔ a wɔwɔ Arnon mmepɔ so.
Umlilo wavutha eHeshibhoni ilangabi lavela edolobheni likaSihoni. Laqothula i-Ari laseMowabi, abantu basemiqolweni yase-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.
Maye kuwe, Mowabi! Selibhujisiwe lina, Oh bantu baseKhemoshi! Usedele amadodana akhe njengeziphepheli lamadodakazi njengabathunjiweyo bethunjwa nguSihoni inkosi yama-Amori.
30 “Yɛasɛe wɔn pasaa, ɛfiri Hesbon tɔnn kɔsi Dibon. Yɛasɛe wɔn ara akɔsi Nofa De kɔ ara kɔsi Medeba.”
Kodwa thina sibehlule; iHeshibhoni siyitshabalalisile kuze kuyefika eDibhoni. Sibachithile kwaze kwaba seNofa, eqhelela eMedebha.”
31 Enti Israelfoɔ no tenaa Amorifoɔ asase so.
Ngakho u-Israyeli wahlala elizweni lama-Amori.
32 Mose somaa akwansrafoɔ sɛ wɔnkɔsrasra Yaser fa mu hɔ. Ɔde asraafoɔ toaa wɔn, faa wɔn nkuro nyinaa, pamoo Amorifoɔ no.
Ngemva kokuba uMosi esethumele inhloli eJazeri, abako-Israyeli bathumba iziqinti eziseduze njalo baxotsha ama-Amori ayehlala khona.
33 Afei, wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ kuro kɛseɛ Basan, nanso Basanhene Og de nʼasraafoɔ hyiaa wɔn wɔ Edrei.
Basebephenduka bahamba ngomgwaqo oya eBhashani. U-Ogi inkosi yaseBhashani kanye lebutho lakhe lonke baphuma ukuyahlangana labako-Israyeli ukubahlasela e-Edreyi.
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.
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Ungamesabi, ngoba sengimnikele kuwe lamabutho akhe wonke kanye lelizwe lakhe. Menze konke owakwenza kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayebusa eHeshibhoni.”
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.
Ngakho bambulala ndawonye lamadodana akhe kanye lebutho lakhe lonke, kakho loyedwa owaphephayo. Basebethatha ilizwe lakhe.
