6 Yehowa Adaka no+ dii Filistifo asaase so abosome ason.
2 Ɛnna Filistifo no frɛɛ akɔmfo ne nkɔmhyɛfo+ no bisaa wɔn sɛ: “Yehowa Adaka no, yɛnyɛ no dɛn? Monkyerɛ yɛn ɔkwan a yɛmfa so mfa nkɔ ne sibea.”
3 Ɛnna wɔkae sɛ: “Sɛ mode Israel Nyankopɔn Yehowa apam adaka no rekɔ a, mommfa nsapan nnkɔ. Mmom momfa afodi afɔre+ nka ho nkɔma no. Ɛno ansa na mubenya ayaresa, na mubehu nea enti a ne nsa mfii mo so no.”
4 Ɛnna wobisae sɛ: “Afodi afɔre bɛn na yɛmfa nkɔma no?” Na wɔkae sɛ: “Sɛnea Filistifo ahemfo no dodow te no,+ momfa sika kɔkɔɔ nyɛ biribi te sɛ kooko anum na momfa bi nyɛ nkura anum, efisɛ ɔhaw koro no ara na ato mo ne mo ahemfo nyinaa.
5 Monyɛ mo kooko ne nkura a wɔresɛe asaase no nsɛso,+ na monhyɛ Israel Nyankopɔn anuonyam. Ebia obegow ne nsam ama mo ne mo nyame ne mo asaase.+
6 Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ mupirim mo koma sɛnea Egyptfo ne Farao pirim wɔn koma no?+ Ɔde ɔhaw baa wɔn so+ ansa na wɔregyaa Israel ama wɔakɔ.+
7 Afei monyɛ teaseɛnam foforo, na mompɛ anantwibere abien a wɔma nufu a wɔmfaa kɔndua biara ntoo wɔn so da. Momma wɔn mma no mfi wɔn nkyɛn nkɔ fie, na momfa teaseɛnam no nsã anantwi no.
8 Momfa Yehowa Adaka no nsi teaseɛnam no so, na momfa sika kɔkɔɔ nneɛma a mode rekɔbɔ afodi afɔre ama no no ngu adaka ketewa mu nsi nkyɛn,+ na momma ensi kwan so nkɔ.
9 Afei momfa mo ani nni akyi. Sɛ ɛfa ne kwan so kɔ n’asaase so wɔ Bet-Semes+ a, ɛnde na ɛyɛ Israel Nyankopɔn na wayɛ yɛn bɔne kɛse yi; sɛ anyɛ saa a, ɛnde na yɛahu sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔno na ɔde ne nsa aka yɛn; ɛyɛ asɛm ne asɛm na ahyia.”
10 Enti nkurɔfo no yɛɛ saa. Wɔfaa teaseɛnam no de sesãã anantwibere abien a wɔma nufu no, na wɔde wɔn mma no guu buw mu wɔ fie.
11 Afei wɔde Yehowa Adaka no sii teaseɛnam no so, na adaka ketewa a nkura a wɔde sika kɔkɔɔ ayɛ, ne wɔn kooko sɛso no wom no, wɔde sii nkyɛn.
12 Na anantwi no faa Bet-Semes kwan so tee.+ Wɔamman ankɔ nifa anaa benkum, na wɔrekɔ nyinaa na wɔresu. Saa bere no nyinaa na Filistifo ahemfo no di wɔn akyi; wodii wɔn akyi ara koduu Bet-Semes hye so.
13 Ná Bet-Semesfo retwa hwiit wɔ asaasetraa no so.* Bere a wɔmomaa wɔn ani so na wohuu Adaka no, wodii ahurusi.
14 Teaseɛnam no koduu Bet-Semesni Yosua afuw mu, na egyinaa ɔbo kɛse bi ho. Wɔpaapaee teaseɛnam no nnua no, na wɔde anantwi no+ bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre maa Yehowa.
15 Lewifo no+ yii Yehowa Adaka no ne adaka ketewa a ɛka ho a sika kɔkɔɔ nneɛma wom no, na wɔde sii ɔbo kɛse no so. Ɛnna Bet-Semesfo+ bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre, na wɔbobɔɔ afɔre maa Yehowa saa da no.
16 Bere a Filistifo ahemfo baanum no hui no, wɔsan wɔn akyi kɔɔ Ekron saa da no.
17 Kooko a wɔde sika kɔkɔɔ ayɛ a Filistifo no de kɔbɔɔ afodi afɔre maa Yehowa no,+ baako yɛ Asdod+ de, baako yɛ Gasa de, baako yɛ Askelon de, baako yɛ Gat+ de, na baako nso yɛ Ekron+ de.
18 Sɛnea Filistifo ahemfo baanum no nkurow dodow te no, saa ara na na nkura a wɔde sika kɔkɔɔ ayɛ no dodow te, nkurow a wɔabɔ ho ban ne nkuraa a ɛwɔ petee mu nyinaa.
Ɔbo kɛse a wɔde Yehowa Adaka no sii so no ayɛ adanse wɔ Bet-Semesni Yosua afuw no mu de besi nnɛ.
19 Yehowa Adaka a Bet-Semesfo hwɛe nti, okunkum wɔn. Okum wɔn mu nnipa 50,070,* na ɔman no dii awerɛhow, efisɛ Yehowa kunkum ɔman no mufo bebree.+
20 Ɛnna Bet-Semesfo no kae sɛ: “Hena na obetumi agyina Yehowa, Onyankopɔn a ɔyɛ kronkron+ yi anim, na sɛ ofi yɛn nkyɛn a, hena hɔ na ɔbɛkɔ?”+
21 Enti wotuu abɔfo kɔɔ Kiriat-Yearimfo+ nkyɛn sɛ: “Filistifo no asan de Yehowa Adaka no aba. Mommra mmɛfa nkɔ mo nkyɛn.”+
