1Arad hene a ɔyɛ Kanaanni a ɔte Negeb tee sɛ Israelfo nam Atarim kwan so reba no, ɔboaboaa nʼakofo ano kɔtow hyɛɛ Israelfo no so kyekyeree ebinom nnommum. 2Afei, Israelfo no kaa ntam kyerɛɛ Awurade se, “Sɛ wode saa nnipa yi bɛhyɛ yɛn nsa a, anka yebegu wɔn nkurow akɛse no.” 3Awurade tiee wɔn adesrɛ no na ɔde Kanaanfo no maa wɔn. Israelfo no sɛee wɔn ne wɔn nkurow akɛse pasaa; wɔtoo hɔ din Horma a ase ne “Ɔsɛe.”
Kɔbere Mfrafrae Ɔwɔ
4Afei, Israelfo no fii Bepɔw Hor so de wɔn ani kyerɛɛ Po Kɔkɔɔ sɛ wobetwa dantaban afa Edom ho. Nanso wɔrekɔ no nipa no aba mu bui; 5wonwiinwii tiaa Onyankopɔn ne Mose se, “Adɛn nti na moayi yɛn afi Misraim de yɛn aba sɛ yemmewuwu wɔ sare yi so? Aduan nni ha! Nsu nni ha! Yɛmpɛ saa awerɛhow aduan yi!”
6Enti, Awurade maa awɔ a wɔn ano wɔ bɔre yiye kɔkekaa wɔn mu bebree ma wowuwui. 7Na nnipa no baa Mose nkyɛn bɛsrɛɛ se, “Yɛayɛ bɔne, efisɛ yɛakasa atia Awurade ne wo. Bɔ mpae kyerɛ Awurade na awɔ no nkɔ.” Enti Mose bɔɔ mpae maa nnipa no.
8Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Fa kɔbere yɛ saa awɔ yi mu baako sɛso na fa no sɛn abaa tenten bi so, na sɛ awɔ no bi ka obi na ɔhwɛ no a, ɔrenwu.” 9Enti Mose yɛɛ ɔwɔ sɛso no, de sɛn dua tenten so. Na obiara a ɔwɔ no bi bɛka no no, sɛ ɔma nʼani so hwɛ no a, onwu.
Israelfo Kɔ Moab
10Israelfo no fi hɔ no, wɔtoaa wɔn akwantu no so kɔɔ Obot kɔtenaa hɔ. 11Afei, wɔtoaa so kɔɔ Iye-Haabarim wɔ sare so wɔ Moab apuei fam. 12Wofi hɔ no, wɔtoaa so kɔɔ asuwa Sered Subon mu kɔbɔɔ atenae wɔ hɔ. 13Afei, wotu fii hɔ kɔɔ Asubɔnten Arnon nkyɛn hɔ baabi a wɔne Amorifo bɔ hye. Asubɔnten Arnon na ɛyɛ ɔhye a ɛda Moabfo ne Amorifo ntam. 14Ɛno nti na, wɔka wɔ Awurade akodi nhoma no mu se,
asubɔnten Arnon subon
ne kurow Waheb 15da Amorifo ne Moabfo ntam.
16Israelfo no fi hɔ toaa wɔn akwantu no so kɔɔ Beer a ase ne “Abura.” Ɛha na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Frɛfrɛ nnipa no nyinaa bra na mɛma wɔn nsu.”
17Ɛhɔ na Israelfo too dwom yi,
“Tue Ao, Abura!
To ho dwom!
18To dwom fa abura a mmapɔmma tutu no ho,
sɛ nnipa mu akunini na wotitii mu;
akunini a wokura ahempeaw ne pema.”
Afei, Israelfo no fii sare no so kɔfaa Matana, 19Nahaliel ne Bamot, 20na wɔkɔɔ Pisga atifi a ɛwɔ Moab bon no mu, baabi a wugyina a wuhu asase tamaa no.
Sihon Ne Og So Nkonimdi
21Israelfo no tuu abɔfo ma wɔde nkra kɔmaa Amorihene Sihon se:
22“Momma yentwa mu mfa mo man yi mu. Yɛbɛfa ɔtempɔn no so tee, na yɛremfi so kosi sɛ yɛbɛtra mo hye. Yɛrentiatia mo nnɔbae so, yɛremfa yɛn nsa nka mo bobe nturo, na yɛrennom mo abura mu nsu kosi sɛ yebefi mo man no mu.”
23Nanso ɔhene Sihon ampene so. Na mmom, ɔboaboaa nʼakofo ano kɔtow hyɛɛ Israelfo no so wɔ sare so hɔ ne wɔn koo wɔ Yahas. 24Nanso Israelfo no kunkum wɔn faa wɔn asase a efi Asubɔnten Arnon kosi asu Yabok ho toaa so kosii Amorifo ahye so a na bammɔ wɔ hɔ no. 25Israelfo no faa Amorifo no nkurow akɛse nyinaa a Hesbon kuropɔn ne ne nkuraase nyinaa ka ho tenaa mu. 26Na Hesbon yɛ Amorihene Sihon kuropɔn. Sihon na da bi ɔko tiaa Moabhene faa ne nsase nyinaa besii Asubɔnten Arnon no.
27Ne saa nti, tete anwensɛm kyerɛwfo kyerɛw eyi faa ne ho se,
“Bra Hesbon, Sihon kuropɔn,
yɛnkyekye na ensi ne dedaw mu.
28“Ogya turuw fii Hesbon
Ogyaframa fii Sihon ahenkurow mu,
Ɛhyew Ar kuropɔn a ɛwɔ Moab;
ɛsɛee kurowmma a wɔwɔ Arnon mmepɔw so.
29Ao Moabfo, mo sɛe bɛba mu!
Wɔawie mo, mo a mosom Kemos!
Wagyaw ne mmabarima sɛ atutenafo,
Ne ne mmabea

30“Yɛatu wɔn agu,
efi Hesbon tɔnn kosi Dibon.
Yɛasɛe wɔn ara akosi Nofa
De kɔ ara kosi Medeba.”
31Enti Israelfo no tenaa Amorifo asase no so.
32Mose somaa akwansrafo sɛ wɔnkɔsrasra Yaser fa mu hɔ. Ɔde asraafo toaa wɔn, faa wɔn nkurow nyinaa, pam Amorifo no. 33Afei, wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ kurow kɛse Basan, nanso Basanhene Og de nʼasraafo hyiaa wɔn wɔ Edrei.
34Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Nsuro no, efisɛ mede nʼasraafo ne nʼasase nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa. Yɛ no sɛnea woyɛɛ Amorihene Sihon a odii Hesbon so no.”
35Israelfo dii nkonim na wokum ɔhene Og ne ne mmabarima ne ne nkurɔfo nyinaa a anka wɔn mu baako mpo. Na Israelfo no faa nʼasase no.
Kuwonongedwa kwa Aradi
1Mfumu 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. 2Ndipo Israeli anachita lonjezo ili kwa Yehova: “Mukapereka anthu awa mʼdzanja lathu ife tidzawonongeratu mizinda yawo.” 3Yehova anamva pempho la Aisraeli ndipo anapereka Akanaaniwo kwa iwo. Anawawononga pamodzi ndi mizinda yawo. Kotero malowo anatchedwa Horima.
Njoka Yamkuwa
4Aisraeli anayenda kuchokera ku phiri la Hori kudzera njira ya ku Nyanja Yofiira kuzungulira dziko la Edomu. Koma anthu anataya mtima mʼnjiramo 5ndipo 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.”
6Choncho Yehova anatumiza njoka zaululu pakati pawo. Zinaluma anthu ndipo Aisraeli ambiri anafa. 7Anthuwo anabwera kwa Mose ndi kunena kuti, “Tachimwa chifukwa tayankhula motsutsana ndi Yehova komanso inu. Pempherani kwa Yehova kuti atichotsere njokazi.” Tsono Mose anapempherera anthuwo.
8Yehova anati kwa Mose, “Upange njoka yaululu ndipo uyipachike pa mtengo. Aliyense amene walumidwa akangoyangʼana njokayo adzakhala ndi moyo.” 9Pamenepo Mose anapanga njoka yamkuwa ndi kuyipachika pa mtengo. Ndipo aliyense wolumidwa akayangʼana njoka yamkuwayo ankakhala ndi moyo.
Ulendo wa ku Mowabu
10Aisraeli anayendabe nakamanga misasa yawo ku Oboti. 11Kenaka anasamuka ku Oboti nakamanga misasa yawo ku Iye-Abarimu, mʼchipululu chimene chili kummawa kwa Mowabu, kotulukira dzuwa. 12Kuchoka kumeneko anayendabe nakamanga misasa yawo mʼchigwa cha Zeredi. 13Anasamukanso kumeneko nakamanga moyandikana ndi Arinoni mʼdera limene lili mʼchipululu chimene chimafika mʼdziko la Aamori. Arinoni ndiwo malire a Mowabu ndi Aamori. 14Nʼchifukwa chake Buku la Nkhondo za Yehova limati,
“Mzinda wa Wahebu uli mu Sufa,
mu zigwa za Arinoni, 15ku matsitso a zigwa
amene afika mpaka ku Ari
nakhudza malire a dziko la Mowabu.”
16Kuchokera kumeneko anapitirira mpaka ku Beeri, pa chitsime chomwe Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Sonkhanitsa anthu pamodzi ndipo ndidzawapatsa madzi.”
17Pamenepo Aisraeli anayimba nyimbo iyi:
“Tulutsa madzi, chitsime iwe!
Chiyimbireni nyimbo,
18chitsime chomwe anakumba mafumu,
chomwe anakumba anthu omveka,
ndi ndodo zawo zaufumu ndi ndodo zawo zoyendera.”
Kenaka anachoka ku chipululu ndi kupita ku Matana. 19Kuchoka ku Matana anapita ku Nahalieli, kuchoka ku Nahalieli anapita ku Bamoti, 20ndipo atachoka ku Bamoti anapita ku chigwa cha dziko la Mowabu kudzera njira ya pamwamba pa phiri la Pisiga, moyangʼanana ndi Yesimoni.
Kugonjetsedwa kwa Sihoni ndi Ogi
21Aisraeli anatumiza amithenga kwa Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, kuti,
22“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.”
23Koma Sihoni sanalole kuti Aisraeli adutse mʼdziko mwake. Iye anasonkhanitsa pamodzi ankhondo ake onse kuti akamenyane ndi Aisraeli mʼchipululu. Atafika pa Yahazi anamenyana ndi Aisraeli. 24Koma 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. 25Ndipo Aisraeli analanda mizinda yonse ya Aamori, nakhalamo kuphatikizapo Hesiboni ndi midzi yake yozungulira. 26Hesiboni unali mzinda wa Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, yemwe anamenyana ndi mfumu yakale ya dziko la Mowabu. Lonselo linakhala dziko lake mpaka ku Arinoni.
27Nʼchifukwa chake alakatuli amati:
“Bwerani ku Hesiboni, mzindawo umangidwenso;
mzinda wa Sihoni ukhazikike.
28“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.
29Tsoka 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“Koma ife tawagonjetsa;
Hesiboni wawonongedwa mʼnjira monse mpaka kufika ku Diboni.
Tawaphwasula mpaka ku mzinda wa Nofa,
mzinda womwe umafika ku Medeba.
31“Choncho Aisraeli anakhala mʼdziko la Aamori.”
32Mose atatumiza azondi ku Yazeri, Aisraeliwo analanda midzi yozungulira ndi kuthamangitsa Aamori omwe ankakhala kumeneko. 33Kenaka 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.
34Yehova 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.”
35Choncho 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.
