Arelemgbunli Mɔɔ Limoa 20:1-43
20 Akee Selea+ Belemgbunli Bɛne-heedade+ boɔboale ye ɛlɔnema ne nee arelemgbunli gyɛne 32 nee bɛ mgbɔnwɔ yɛɛ bɛ ehwili ne mɔ anloa; ɔhɔbɛngale Samɛlea anwo ɔyiale+ na ɔ nee bɛ honle.
2 Akee ɔzoanle menli ɔmaanle bɛhɔle Yizilayɛ Belemgbunli Ehabe+ ɛkɛ wɔ suakpole ne azo na ɔhanle ɔhilele ye kɛ: “Edwɛkɛ mɔɔ Bɛne-heedade ɛha la ɛne,
3 ‘Wɔ dwɛtɛ fufule nee wɔ nvutuke ne le me ɛdeɛ, zɔhane ala a ɛ ye mɔ nee ɛ mra mrenyia ne mɔ mɔɔ anwo yɛ fɛ la le me ɛdeɛ a.’”
4 Ɔti Yizilayɛ belemgbunli ne buale ye kɛ: “Me menle belemgbunli, kɛ mɔɔ wɔha la, medame nee debie biala mɔɔ melɛ la le wɔ ɛdeɛ.”+
5 Nzinlii, menli mɔɔ ɔzoanle bɛ la ziale rahanle kɛ: “Edwɛkɛ mɔɔ Bɛne-heedade ɛha la ɛne, ‘Mendole wɔ nrɛlaleɛ kɛ: “Ɛbava wɔ dwɛtɛ fufule, wɔ nvutuke, ɛ ye mɔ nee ɛ mra mrenyia ne mɔ wɔamaa me.”
6 Noko ɛhyema mekɛ zɛhae, mebazoa me sonvolɛma wɔ wɔ ɛkɛ, na bɛbado bɛ rɛle aze bɛanleɛnlea wɔ sua nu nee wɔ sonvolɛma azua nu na bɛasesa wɔ ninyɛne mgbalɛ ne mɔ kɔsɔɔti bɛara.’”
7 Ɔti Yizilayɛ belemgbunli ne vɛlɛle mgbanyima mɔɔ wɔ maanle ne anu la amuala na ɔhanle ɔhilele bɛ kɛ: “Mesɛlɛ bɛ, bɛnlea na bɛnwu ye kɛ, nrenyia ɛhye kulo kɛ ɔfa ngyegyelɛ ɔba, ɔluakɛ ɔse menva me ye mɔ, me mra mrenyia, me dwɛtɛ fufule nee me nvutuke memaa ye, na meanga kɛ menrɛyɛ.”
8 Akee mgbanyima ne mɔ nee menli ne amuala kɔsɔɔti hanle kɛ: “Mmatie ye yɛɛ mmadie ɛto nu.”
9 Ɔti ɔhanle ɔhilele menli mɔɔ Bɛne-heedade zoanle bɛ la kɛ: “Bɛha bɛhile me menle belemgbunli kɛ, ‘Debie biala mɔɔ ɛlimoale ɛbizale wɔ sonvolɛ la, mebayɛ, na ɛhye ɛdeɛ, menrɛhola menrɛyɛ.’” Yemɔti menli mɔɔ ɔzoanle bɛ la ziale hɔle na bɛhɔbɔle ye amaneɛ.
10 Bɛne-heedade dole ye nrɛlaleɛ kɛ: “Saa munlutu mɔɔ baha Samɛlea la bazo mɔɔ menli mɔɔ doa me la biala banyia ɔ sa ko a, nyamenle ne mɔ ɛdua me kakɛ na bɛgua me bie zo!”
11 Yizilayɛ belemgbunli ne buale kɛ: “Bɛha bɛhile ye kɛ, ‘Ɔnle kɛ awie mɔɔ wula ye konle tɛladeɛ la memaa ɔ nwo zo kɛ ahenle mɔɔ ye gua la.’”+
12 Mɔɔ ɔdele edwɛkɛ ɛhye la, ɛnee ɔ nee arelemgbunli ne mɔ ɛlɛno nza wɔ bɛ ɛdanlɛ azua ne mɔ anu,* na ɛkɛ ne ala, ɔhanle ɔhilele ye sonvolɛma ne kɛ: “Bɛziezie bɛ nwo na bɛhɔ bɛ nwo zo!” Ɔti bɛzieziele bɛ nwo na bɛhɔle sua ne azo amra anwo zo.
13 Noko ngapezonli bie rale Yizilayɛ Belemgbunli Ehabe+ anwo ɛkɛ na ɔzele ye kɛ: “Edwɛkɛ mɔɔ Gyihova ɛha la ɛne, ‘Wɔnwu menli dɔɔnwo ɛhye mɔ amuala ɔ? Nea, mebava bɛ meawula ɛ sa nu ɛnɛ amaa wɔanwu kɛ medame a mele Gyihova a.’”+
14 Ehabe bizale kɛ: “Ɔbalua nwane anwo zo?” Na ɔbuale ye kɛ: “Edwɛkɛ mɔɔ Gyihova ɛha la ɛne, ‘Ɔbalua mgbanyima mɔɔ wɔ maanzinli ne mɔ anu la boavolɛma anwo zo.’” Ɔti ɔbizale ye kɛ: “Nwane a babɔ konle ne abo a?” Na ɔzele ye kɛ: “Ɛdawɔ ɔ!”
15 Akee Ehabe dianle mgbanyima mɔɔ wɔ maanzinli ne mɔ anu la boavolɛma ne, ɛnee bɛ dodo le 232; ɔwiele la, ɔdianle Yizilayɛ mrenyia ne mɔ amuala, ɛnee bɛle 7,000.
16 Bɛvindele ewiazo wɔ mekɛ mɔɔ ɛnee Bɛne-heedade nee arelemgbunli 32 ne mɔɔ ɛlɛboa ye la ɛlɛno nza abo wɔ bɛ ɛdanlɛ azua ne mɔ anu* la.
17 Mekɛ mɔɔ mgbanyima mɔɔ wɔ maanzinli ne mɔ anu la boavolɛma ne vi sua ne azo vindele la, ɛkɛ ne ala Bɛne-heedade zoanle menli kɛ bɛhɔnlea mɔɔ ɛlɛkɔ zo la. Bɛrahanle bɛhilele ye kɛ: “Mrenyia bie vi Samɛlea ɛra.”
18 Ɔti ɔzele bɛ kɛ: “Saa bɛrale ye anzodwolɛ nu a, bɛhye bɛ anyewɔzo; yɛɛ saa konle ti a bɛrale a, bɛhye bɛ anyewɔzo.”
19 Noko mɔɔ menli ɛhye mɔ vi suakpole ne azo vindele la—mgbanyima mɔɔ wɔ maanzinli ne mɔ anu la boavolɛma nee ɛlɔnema mɔɔ doale bɛ la—
20 bɛ nuhua ko biala hunle awie mɔɔ rale ɔ nwo zo la. Akee Seleama nriandile+ na Yizilayɛma doale bɛ, noko Selea Belemgbunli Bɛne-heedade vole ye ɛkpɔnwɔ ne azo na ɔ nee ye mgbɔnwɔkavoma ne mɔ bie nriandile.
21 Noko Yizilayɛ belemgbunli ne vindele na ɔhunle menli mɔɔ ka mgbɔnwɔ nee ehwili ne mɔ la, na ɔlile Seleama anwo zo konim kpole.*
22 Nzinlii, ngapezonli ne+ hɔle Yizilayɛ belemgbunli ne ɛkɛ na ɔhanle kɛ: “Kɔ na boɔboa ɛ nwo kpalɛ na suzu mɔɔ ɛbayɛ la anwo,+ ɔluakɛ ɛvolɛ bieko* mɔlebɛbo, Selea belemgbunli ne bara ɛ nwo zo.”+
23 Akee Selea belemgbunli ne sonvolɛma hanle hilele ye kɛ: “Bɛ Nyamenle ne le awoka zo Nyamenle. Ɛhye ati a bɛlile yɛ nwo zo konim a. Na saa yɛ nee bɛ ko wɔ azɛlɛ sɛsɛ zo a, yɛbali bɛ nwo zo konim.
24 Eza yɛ ɛhye: Yeye arelemgbunli ne mɔ kɔsɔɔti+ fi bɛ gyinlabelɛ ne mɔ na fa amɛnladoma siezie bɛ gyakɛ anu.
25 Akee boɔboa ɛlɔnema mɔɔ bɛ dodo le kɛ mɔɔ ɛvi ɛ sa la, yɛɛ mgbɔnwɔ nee ehwili dodo ko ne ala anloa. Bɛmaa yɛ nee bɛ ɛho wɔ azɛlɛ sɛsɛ zo na yɛbali bɛ nwo zo konim.” Ɔti ɔdiele bɛ folɛdulɛ ne na ɔyɛle ye kɛ mɔɔ bɛhanle la.
26 Wɔ ɛvolɛ* ne mɔlebɛbo ala, Bɛne-heedade boɔboale Seleama anloa na bɛhɔle Efɛke+ kɛ bɛ nee Yizilayɛma kaho.
27 Yizilayɛma noko boɔboale bɛ nloa, na bɛmaanle bɛ debie biala mɔɔ bɛhyia nwo la na bɛhɔle kɛ bɛ nee bɛ kaho. Mɔɔ Yizilayɛma boɔboale bɛ nloa wɔ Seleama anyunlu ɛkɛ ne la, ɛnee bɛle kɛ mbɔnkye ekpunli ngyikyi nwiɔ, noko Seleama yile azɛlɛ ne amuala azo.+
28 Akee nɔhalɛ Nyamenle sonla ne rale Yizilayɛ belemgbunli ne ɛkɛ na ɔhanle ɔhilele ye kɛ: “Edwɛkɛ mɔɔ Gyihova ɛha la ɛne, ‘Kɛmɔ Seleama ɛha kɛ: “Gyihova le awoka zo Nyamenle na ɔnle azɛlɛ sɛsɛ zo Nyamenle’ la ati, mebava menli dɔɔnwo ɛhye mɔ meawula ɛ sa nu+ amaa wɔanwu kɛ medame a mele Gyihova a.’”+
29 Yizilayɛma nee Seleama dɛnlanle bɛ azokoɛleɛ ne mɔɔ bɛ nye bɔ zolɛ la too kenle nsuu, na kenle nsuu ne azo, konle ne bɔle ɔ bo. Yizilayɛma hunle Selea sogyama mɔɔ dua aze la 100,000 kenle ko.
30 Na bɛdabɛ mɔɔ bɛhale la nriandile hɔle suakpole Efɛke+ azo. Noko bane ne dele guale mrenyia mɔɔ hale la anu 27,000 anwo zo. Bɛne-heedade noko nriandile hɔle sua ne azo na ɔhɔveale ekpumgbunli bie anu.
31 Ɔti ye sonvolɛma ne hanle hilele ye kɛ: “Nea, yɛde kɛ Yizilayɛ arelemgbunli ne mɔ le arelemgbunli mɔɔ se anwunvɔne.* Yɛsɛlɛ wɔ, maa yɛva ɛrele yɛpɛ yɛ bo na yɛva nyɛma yɛkyekye yɛ ti na yɛhɔ Yizilayɛ belemgbunli ne ɛkɛ. Bie a ɔnrɛhu wɔ.”+
32 Ɔti bɛvale ɛrele bɛpɛle bɛ bo na bɛvale nyɛma bɛkyekyele bɛ ti na bɛhɔle Yizilayɛ belemgbunli ne ɛkɛ na bɛzele ye kɛ: “Wɔ sonvolɛ Bɛne-heedade se, ‘Mesɛlɛ wɔ, maa mendɛnla* ngoane nu.’” Ɔbizale bɛ kɛ: “Ɔtɛte ngoane nu ɔ? Ɔle me diema.”
33 Menli ne bule ye kɛ ɔle edwɛkɛ kpalɛ na ndɛndɛ ne ala bɛliele ye edwɛkɛ ne bɛlile, ɔti bɛhanle kɛ: “Bɛne-heedade le ɛ diema.” Akee ɔhanle kɛ: “Bɛhɔva ye bɛrɛla.” Na Bɛne-heedade hɔle ɔ nwo ɛkɛ, na ɔmaanle ɔvole ye ehwili ne anu.
34 Akee Bɛne-heedade hanle hilele ye kɛ: “Azua mɔɔ me papa liele vile wɔ papa asa anu la, mebazia meava meamaa wɔ, na ɛbahola wɔayɛ gualilɛ ɛleka* ngakyile wɔ Damasekɛse kɛ mɔɔ me papa yɛle ye wɔ Samɛlea la.”
Ehabe buale ye kɛ: “Ɔlua ngyehyɛleɛ* ɛhye ati, mebagyakyi wɔ meamaa wɔahɔ.”
Ɔti ɔ nee ye yɛle ngyehyɛleɛ na ɔmaanle ɔhɔle.
35 Gyihova maanle ngapezoma ne amra ne mɔ*+ anu ko hanle hilele ɔ gɔnwo kɛ: “Mesɛlɛ wɔ, bɔ me.” Noko nrenyia ne ambɔ ye.
36 Ɔti ɔhanle ɔhilele ye kɛ: “Kɛmɔ wɔandie Gyihova ane la ati, ɛfi me nwo ɛke ala a, awenade bahu wɔ.” Ɔvile ɔ nwo ɛkɛ ne ɔhɔle la, awenade rale ɔ nwo zo na ɔhunle ye.
37 Ɔnwunle awie fofolɛ na ɔzele ye kɛ: “Mesɛlɛ wɔ, bɔ me.” Ɔti nrenyia ne bɔle ye na ɔbodale ye.
38 Akee ngapezonli ne hɔle na ɔhɔhendɛle belemgbunli ne wɔ adenle ne anloa, ɔkyekyele ɔ nye amaa bɛannwu ye sonla holɛ.
39 Mɔɔ belemgbunli ne ɛlɛpɛ nu la, ɔdeanle nu ɔzele belemgbunli ne kɛ: “Wɔ sonvolɛ hɔle konle ne ɛleka mɔɔ anu yɛ se la, na nrenyia bie mɔɔ vi konle ne anloa ɛlɛkɔ la vale nrenyia bie maanle me na ɔzele me kɛ, ‘Sinza nrenyia ɛhye.
