24 ¹Yosua frɛɛ Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa ma wɔbɔɔ ano wɔ Sekem, na ɔfrɛɛ wɔn mpanyimfo, wɔn atitiriw, wɔn atemmufo ne wɔn adwumayɛfo, na wɔbɛgyinaa yɛn Agya anim.

²Yosua ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa se, “Yei ne asɛm a yɛn Agya, Israel Nyankopɔn, ka: ‘Tete no, mo agyanom tenaa Eufrate Asubɔnten no agya—Tera a ɔyɛ Abraham ne Nahor agya no—na wɔsomm anyame foforo.’ ³Miyii mo agya Abraham fii Asubɔnten no agya, mede no faa Kanaan asase no nyinaa so, mede nʼasefo dɔɔso, na mede Isak maa no. ⁴Mede Yakob ne Esau maa Isak, na mede Seir Bepɔ maa Esau sɛ ɔnfa nyɛ nʼagyapade, nanso Yakob ne ne mma sian kɔɔ Misraim.

⁵‘Mesomaa Mose ne Aaron, na mede nea meyɛɛ wɔ wɔn mu no boo Misraim, na afei miyii mo bae.’ ⁶Miyii mo agyanom fii Misraim, na mobɛduu po no ho. Misraimfo de nteaseɛnam ne apɔnkɔsotefo taa mo agyanom kosii Po Kɔkɔɔ no ho. ⁷Bere a wɔsu frɛɛ me no, mede sum too mo ne Misraimfo no ntam, mede po no baa wɔn so, na ɛkataa wɔn so. Mo ani huu nea meyɛɛ wɔ Misraim. Afei motenaa sare so bere tenten.

⁸‘Mede mo baa Amorifo asase a ɛwɔ Yordan agya no so. Wɔne mo kooe; mede wɔn hyɛɛ mo nsa, na mofaa wɔn asase. Mesɛee wɔn wɔ mo anim. ⁹Afei Moab hene Balak, Sipor ba, sɔree ne Israel kooe. Ɔsomaa ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Bileam, Beor ba, sɛ ɔmmɛdome mo, ¹⁰nanso mantie Bileam, enti ohyiraa mo mpɛn bebree, na megyee mo fii ne nsa mu.

¹¹Motwaa Yordan kɔɔ Yeriko. Ɛhɔfo ne mo kooe—Amorifo, Perisifo, Kanaanfo, Hetifo, Girgasifo, Hiwifo ne Yebusifo—nanso mede wɔn hyɛɛ mo nsa. ¹²Mesomaa kotokoɔ dii mo anim; ɛpam Amorifo ahene baanu no fii mo anim—ɛnyɛ mo afoa anaa mo agyan na ɛyɛe. ¹³Mede asase a moanyɛ ho adwuma ne nkurow a moankyekye maa mo—na mote mu; mudi bobe nturo ne ngodua nturo a moanyɛ no mu nnuaba.’

¹⁴Afei, munsuro yɛn Agya, na momfa mudi mu ne nokwaredi nsom no. Monyi anyame a mo agyanom somm wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten no agya ne Misraim no mfi hɔ, na momsom yɛn Agya. ¹⁵Nanso sɛ yɛn Agya som yɛ bɔne wɔ mo ani so a, ɛnde monyi nea mobɛsom no nnɛ mma mo ho—anyame a mo agyanom somm wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten no agya no, anaa Amorifo a mote wɔn asase so no anyame. Na me ne me fifo de, yɛbɛsom yɛn Agya.”

¹⁶Nnipa no buae se, “Yɛrentumi nnyaw yɛn Agya da nkɔsom anyame foforo. ¹⁷Efisɛ yɛn Agya yii yɛn ne yɛn agyanom fii Misraim asase so, fii nkoasom fie, na ɔyɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne akɛse yi wɔ yɛn anim. Ɔbɔɔ yɛn ho ban kwan a yɛfaa so no nyinaa so, ne aman a yɛfaa wɔn mu no nyinaa mu. ¹⁸Na yɛn Agya pam aman no nyinaa fii yɛn anim, a Amorifo a wɔtenaa asase no so no ka ho. Yɛn nso yɛbɛsom no, efisɛ ɔno ne yɛn Agya.”

¹⁹Yosua ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Morentumi nsom yɛn Agya—ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn kronkron, Onyankopɔn ninkunfo. Ɔremfa mo atuatew ne mo bɔne mfiri mo. ²⁰Sɛ mogyaw yɛn Agya na mosom ananafo anyame a, ɔbɛdan ayɛ mo bɔne asɛe mo, wɔ bere a wayɛ mo papa no akyi.”

²¹Nanso nnipa no ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Dabi! Yɛbɛsom yɛn Agya.”

²²Afei Yosua ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Moyɛ mo ho adansefo sɛ moayi yɛn Agya sɛ mobɛsom no.” Wɔkae se, “Yɛyɛ adansefo.”

²³“Afei monyi ananafo anyame a ɛwɔ mo mu no ngu, na monnan mo koma nkɔ yɛn Agya, Israel Nyankopɔn, nkyɛn.”

²⁴Na nnipa no ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Yɛbɛsom yɛn Agya, na yɛbɛtie ne nne.”

²⁵Da no Yosua ne nnipa no yɛɛ apam, na ɔhyehyɛɛ mmara ne ahyɛde maa wɔn wɔ Sekem. ²⁶Yosua twerɛɛ nsɛm yi guu yɛn Agya Mmara Nhoma no mu, na afei ɔfaa ɔbo kɛse bi sii hɔ wɔ dupɔn no ase, yɛn Agya kronkronbea no ho.

²⁷Yosua ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa se, “Monhwɛ, ɔbo yi bɛyɛ ɔdansefo atia yɛn, efisɛ ate asɛm biara a yɛn Agya ka kyerɛɛ yɛn no. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔdansefo atia mo, sɛnea morempo mo Agya.” ²⁸Afei Yosua gyaa nnipa no kwan, na obiara kɔɔ nʼankasa agyapade so.
