Ogi Atuluka Kudzamenya Nkhondo

Ogi wa ku Basani ndi mizinda yake makumi asanu ndi limodzi yokhala ndi malinga akugwa monga Sihoni, ndipo dziko limene Atate wathu anapereka likugawidwa kwa Rubeni, Gadi ndi theka la Manase, amene ankhondo awo ayenera kuolokabe ali ndi zida patsogolo pa abale awo. Mose akupempha kuti aone dzikolo ndipo akutumizidwa kukwera Pisiga.

Chaputala 3.

Ndipo tinatembenuka natsata njira yopita ku Basani, ndipo Ogi mfumu ya Basani, pamodzi ndi anthu ake onse, anatuluka kudzamenyana nafe ku Ederi.

Ndipo Atate wathu anati kwa ine, “Usamuope, pakuti ndamupereka kwa iwe, iye, anthu ake onse, ndi dziko lake; umchitire monga momwe unachitira Sihoni mfumu ya Aamori, amene anakhala ku Hesiboni.”

Choncho Atate wathu anatipatsanso Ogi mfumu ya Basani ndi anthu ake onse, ndipo tinawakantha, osasiya wopulumuka ndi mmodzi yemwe. Pa nthawi imeneyo tinalanda mizinda yake yonse—yonse makumi asanu ndi limodzi, palibe umene sunalandidwe—chigawo chonse cha Arigobu, ufumu wa Ogi ku Basani. Yonse iyi inali mizinda yotetezedwa ndi malinga ataliatali ndi zipata zotsekedwa ndi mipiringidzo, kuwonjezera pa midzi yambiri yopanda malinga. Tinayiwononga kwathunthu, monga tinachitira Sihoni mfumu ya Hesiboni, kuwononga kwathunthu mzinda uliwonse—amuna ake, akazi, ndi ana. Koma ziweto zonse ndi zofunkha za mizinda tinazitenga kukhala zofunkha zathu. Choncho pa nthawi imeneyo tinatenga dziko kwa mafumu awiri a Aamori amenewa a tsidya lina la Yorodani, kuchokera ku chigwa cha Arinoni mpaka ku Phiri la Herimoni. (Asidoni amatcha Herimoni kuti Siriyoni, pamene Aamori amautcha kuti Seniri), mizinda yonse ya ku mapiri athyathyathya, Giliyadi yonse, ndi Basani yonse mpaka ku Saleka ndi Ederi—mizinda ya ufumu wa Ogi ku Basani. (Ogi yekha mfumu ya Basani ndiye anatsalira wa otsalira a Arefaimu. Bedi lake linali bedi lachitsulo; kodi silili ku Raba wa Aamoni? Linali lalitali mapazi khumi ndi atatu ndi theka, ndi lalifupi mapazi asanu ndi limodzi.). ^a

Dziko Logawidwa Kummawa kwa Yorodani

Dziko ili tinalitenga pa nthawi imeneyo: kuchokera ku Aroeri amene ali m'mphepete mwa chigwa cha Arinoni, pamodzi ndi theka la dziko la mapiri la Giliyadi ndi mizinda yake, ndinazipereka kwa Arubeni ndi Agadi. Giliyadi yotsala ndi Basani yonse—ufumu wa Ogi—ndinazipereka kwa fuko la theka la Manase: chigawo chonse cha Arigobu. (Mbali yonse ya Basani imeneyo inkatchedwa dziko la Arefaimu. Yairi mwana wa Manase anatenga chigawo chonse cha Arigobu mpaka ku malire a Ageshuri ndi Amaakati, nautcha Basani ndi dzina lake, kuti Havoti-yairi, mpaka lero.). Ndipo kwa Makiri ndinapereka Giliyadi. Kwa Arubeni ndi Agadi ndinapereka kuchokera ku Giliyadi mpaka ku chigwa cha Arinoni—pakati pake ndiwo malire—mpaka ku mtsinje wa Yaboki, malire a Aamoni. Komanso Araba, Yorodani ndiwo malire ake, kuchokera ku Kinereti mpaka ku Nyanja ya Araba (Nyanja Yakufa), pansi pa matsitso a Pisiga, cha kummawa.

Pa nthawi imeneyo ndinakulamulirani, nati, “Atate wanu anakupatsani dziko ili kuti mulitenge; anthu anu onse ankhondo ayenera kuwoloka atanyamula zida patsogolo pa abale anu, Aisraeli. Koma akazi anu, ana anu, ndi ziweto zanu—ndikudziwa kuti muli ndi ziweto zambiri—akhale m'mizinda imene ndinakupatsani, mpaka Atate wathu atapereka mpumulo kwa abale anu monga momwe wakuperekerani inu, ndipo iwonso atenge dziko limene Atate wanu akuwapatsa la tsidya lina la Yorodani. Pamenepo aliyense wa inu abwerere ku cholowa chimene ndinakupatsani.”

Ndinalamula Yoswa pa nthawi imeneyo, nati, “Maso ako wekha anaona zonse zimene Atate wanu anachitira mafumu awiri amenewa. Atate wanu adzachita chimodzimodzi ku maufumu onse kumene ukuwolokerako.

Osaopa — Iye Akukumenyerani Nkhondo

Usawaope, pakuti Atate wanu mwini akukumenyera nkhondo.”

Ndipo ndinapempha kwa Atate wathu pa nthawi imeneyo, nati, “Atate anga Wolamulira, mwayamba kuonetsa mtumiki wanu ukulu wanu ndi dzanja lanu lamphamvu. Kodi mulungu wotani kumwamba kapena padziko lapansi angachite ntchito ndi machitidwe amphamvu ngati anu? Chonde mundilole ndiwoloke ndikaone dziko labwino la tsidya lina la Yorodani, dziko labwino la mapiri ili, ndi Lebanoni.”

Koma Atate wathu anandikwiyira chifukwa cha inu, ndipo sanandimvere; Atate wathu anati kwa ine, “Basi! Usayankhulenso nane za nkhaniyi. Kwera pamwamba pa phiri la Pisiga, nutukule maso ako kumadzulo, kumpoto, kummwera, ndi kummawa, nuone ndi maso ako, pakuti sudzawoloka Yorodani ili. Koma uike Yoswa pa udindo, umulimbikitse ndi kumupatsa mphamvu, pakuti iye adzawoloka patsogolo pa anthu awa ndipo adzawapatsa dziko limene udzaliona kuti likhale cholowa chawo.”

Choncho tinakhala m'chigwa choyang'anana ndi Beti-peori.
