1 Ɛberɛ a ɔman no nyinaa twaa Yordan wieeɛ no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, 2 "Yiyi mmarima dumienu firi ɔmanfoɔ no mu a ɔbaako biara firi abusuakuo no bi mu 3 na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔmfa aboɔ dumienu mfiri Yordan mfimfini nifa so wɔ baabi a na asɔfoɔ no gyina hɔ, na wɔnsoa mfa ntwa mmra mmɛgu baabi a mobɛtena anadwo yi."

4 Ɛnna Yosua frɛɛ mmarima dumienu a ɔyii wɔn firii Israelfoɔ no mu no a ɔbaako biara firi abusuakuo bi mu no, 5 na ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, "Monkɔdi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, adaka no anim mfa nkɔ Yordan mfimfini. Ɔbaako biara mfa ɛboɔ nto ne batiri so sɛdeɛ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo no dodoɔ te, 6 na ɛnyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ wɔ mo mu.

Ɛberɛ a Awurade apam adaka no twaa Yordan asutene no, asuo no weeɛ. Saa aboɔ yi bɛyɛ nkaedeɛ ama Israelfoɔ daa nyinaa."

8 Enti, mmarima no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Yosua kyerɛɛ wɔn no. Wɔfaa aboɔ dumienu firii Asubɔnten Yordan mfimfini a ɛboɔ baako biara gyina hɔ ma abusuakuo baako, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Yosua no. Wɔsoa de kɔɔ baabi a wɔtenaa hɔ anadwo no na wɔsii nkaeɛdum wɔ hɔ. 9 Yosua nso de aboɔ dumienu sii nkaeɛdum wɔ Yordan mfimfini wɔ baabi a na asɔfoɔ a wɔso apam Adaka no gyina hɔ. Ɛwɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

10 Asɔfoɔ a na wɔso adaka no gyinaa asuo no mfimfini hɔ ara kɔsii sɛ Awurade ahyɛdeɛ a ɔnam Mose so de maa Yosua no, wɔyɛɛ ne nyinaa. Saa ɛberɛ no, nnipa no yɛɛ ntɛm twaa asuo no kɔsii ne konkɔn so. 11 Na ɛberɛ a obiara duruu asuo no fa hɔ no, asɔfoɔ no nso de Awurade adaka no tware kɔɔ ɛfa hɔ bi. 12 Na akofoɔ a wɔahyɛ wɔn akodeɛ a wɔfiri Ruben abusuakuo mu, Gad abusuakuo mu ne Manase abusuakuo fa mu akofoɔ no dii Israelfoɔ no anim twaa Yordan sɛdeɛ Mose kyerɛɛ wɔn no pɛpɛɛpɛ. 13 Saa akofoɔ yi, na wɔn dodoɔ bɛyɛ mpem aduanan a wɔasiesie wɔn ho ama ɔko. Wɔtwa kɔɔ Yeriko asase so wɔ Awurade anim.

14 Saa ɛda no, Awurade yɛɛ Yosua kɛseɛ wɔ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa anim na Yosua nna a aka no nyinaa, Israelfoɔ de obuo ne anidie maa no sɛdeɛ wɔde obuo ne anidie maa Mose no.

15 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, 16 "Hyɛ asɔfoɔ a Awurade apam adaka no so wɔn no sɛ, wɔmfiri subɔnhwa no mu hɔ mmra." 17 Enti, Yosua hyɛɛ wɔn. 18 Na ɛberɛ a asɔfoɔ a wɔso Awurade apam adaka no firii subɔnhwa no mu ara pɛ na Asubɔnten Yordan sane ka sram so tɛntɛntɛn te sɛ kane no.
