< Deuteronomy 3 >
1 Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan. And Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
Afei, yɛde yɛn ani kyerɛɛ Basan ɛkwan so. Basanhene Og ne nʼasraadɔm firi bɛhyiaa yɛn wɔ Edrei ne yɛn koeɛ.
2 And Jehovah said to me, Fear him not, for I have delivered him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand. And thou shall do to him as thou did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.
Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Nsuro no, ɛfiri sɛ, mede ɔno ne nʼakodɔm ne nʼasase nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa. Asɛm a ɛtoo Amorifoɔhene Sihon wɔ Hesbon no, saa asɛm korɔ no ara bi na ɛbɛto no.”
3 So Jehovah our God delivered into our hand Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people, and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
Enti, Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, sane de Basanhene Og ne nʼakodɔm nyinaa hyɛɛ yɛn nsa. Yɛbɔɔ wɔn guiɛ a anka wɔn mu baako koraa.
4 And we took all his cities at that time. There was not a city which we did not take from them, sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Saa ɛberɛ no, yɛfaa wɔn nkuropɔn nyinaa. Nkuropɔn aduosia no mu baako koraa nni hɔ a yɛannye amfiri wɔn nsam. Argob mantam a ɛyɛ Og ahenkuro wɔ Basan nyinaa ka ho.
5 All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides the un-walled towns a great many.
Saa nkuropɔn yi nyinaa, na wɔato afasuo atentene afa ho de nnadeɛ apono atoto ano. Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, yɛfaa nkuraa a na wɔntoo afasuo mfaa ho bebree.
6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones.
Yɛsɛee Basan kuropɔn no korakora sɛdeɛ yɛsɛee Hesbonhene Sihon no. Yɛsɛee nkuro no ne emu mmarima, mmaa ne mmɔfra nyinaa pasapasa.
7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
Nanso, afieboa nyinaa ne nkuro no mu asadeɛ deɛ, yɛfom faeɛ.
8 And we took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to mount Hermon
Amorifoɔ ahemfo baanu nsase a na ɛdeda Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam no nyinaa, yɛfaeɛ—nsase a ɛfiri Arnon subɔnhwa kɔsi bepɔ Hermon so nyinaa.
9 (the Sidonians call Hermon, Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir),
Sidonfoɔ frɛ no Hermon Sirion ɛnna Amorifoɔ frɛ no Senir.
10 all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Yɛadi nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ bepɔ no apampam no nyinaa so a Gilead ne Basan ka ho de kɔsi nkuro a ɛwɔ Saleka ne Edrei, a na ɛyɛ Og ahemman wɔ Basan no nso ka ho bi.
11 (For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. Behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron. Is it not in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon? Nine cubits was the length of it, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.)
Abrane no deɛ, Basanhene Og nko na na waka. Ne dadeɛ mpa tenten boro anammɔn dumiɛnsa ɛnna ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nsia. Ɛda so wɔ Amonfoɔ kuropɔn Raba mu seesei ara.
12 And we took this land in possession at that time. From Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead, and the cities of it, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
Yɛfaa asase no, mede asase no fa a ɛda firi Aroer Arnon subɔnhwa mu ne Gilead bepɔ fa ne ne nkuro no maa Rubenfoɔ ne Gadfoɔ.
13 And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh, all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. The same is called the land of Rephaim.
Afei, mede asase no nkaeɛ a ɛyɛ Gilead ne Basan nyinaa a ɛyɛ na anka ɛyɛ Og ahemman no maa Manase abusua fa no. Saa Basan no nyinaa na wɔfrɛ no abrane asase.
14 (Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth-jair, to this day.)
Manase abusua ɔkannifoɔ Yair faa Argob asase no nyinaa a ɛne Basan kɔsii Gesurfoɔ ne Maakatfoɔ hyeɛ so. Ɔde ne din too asase no frɛɛ hɔ Hawot-Yair de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
15 And I gave Gilead to Machir.
Mede Gilead maa Makir,
16 And I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and the border of it, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the sons of Ammon,
Rubenfoɔ ne Gadfoɔ no, memaa wɔn asase bi a ɛfiri Gilead fa bi, kɔsi Arnon subɔnhwa ho, de kɔsi Asubɔnten Yabok a ɛyɛ Amonfoɔ hyeɛ no so.
17 also the Arabah, and the Jordan and the border of it, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.
Atɔeɛ hyeɛ no firi Asubɔnten Yordan a ɛda Araba a ɛfiri Kineret kɔsi Nkyene Ɛpo a ɛda Pisga bepɔ ayaase no.
18 And I commanded you at that time, saying, Jehovah your God has given you this land to possess it. Ye shall pass over armed before your brothers the sons of Israel, all the men of valor.
Na mehyɛɛ mo saa ɛberɛ no sɛ, “Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de asase yi ama mo sɛ momfa. Nanso mo mmarima akofoɔ nyinaa nhyɛ akodeɛ nni mo nuanom Israelfoɔ anim ntwa Yordan.
19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (I know that ye have much cattle, ) shall abide in your cities which I have given you
Mo yerenom, mo mma ne mo afieboa bebrebe no deɛ, monnya wɔn wɔ mo akyi wɔ nkuro a mede ama mo no so.
20 until Jehovah gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also possess the land which Jehovah your God gives them beyond the Jordan, then ye shall return every man to his possession, which I have given you.
Sɛ Awurade bɔ Israelfoɔ a wɔaka no ho ban na wɔtena asase a Awurade de ama wɔn a ɛtwam Asubɔnten Yordan no so a, afei motumi sane mo akyi ba asase a mede ama mo no so.”
21 And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that Jehovah your God has done to these two kings. So shall Jehovah do to all the kingdoms where thou go over.
Saa ɛberɛ no, meka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Woahunu deɛ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn ayɛ saa ahemfo baanu yi. Saa ara na ɔbɛyɛ ahemman a ɛwɔ Yordan atɔeɛ fam no nyinaa.
22 Ye shall not fear them, for Jehovah your God, he it is who fights for you.
Nsuro aman a wɔwɔ hɔ no na Awurade bɛko ama wo.”
23 And I besought Jehovah at that time, saying,
Saa ɛberɛ no, mesrɛɛ Awurade sɛ,
24 O lord Jehovah, thou have begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy strong hand, for what god is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy mighty acts?
“Ao Otumfoɔ Awurade, meyɛ wʼakoa. Afei, na worekyerɛ me wo kɛseyɛ ne wo tumi. Onyame bɛn na ɔwɔ ɔsoro anaa asase so a ɔbɛtumi ayɛ mmaninneɛ te sɛ wo?
25 Let me go over, I pray thee, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
Mesrɛ wo, ma me ntwa Yordan nkɔhwɛ asase nwanwa a ɛda ɛfa hɔ, ɔman fɛfɛ no ne Lebanon mmepɔ no.”
26 But Jehovah was angry with me because of you, and did not hearken to me. And Jehovah said to me, It shall be enough for thee. Speak no more to me of this matter.
Nanso ɛsiane mo enti, Awurade bo fuu me. Na wantie me. Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ “Ɛyɛ, nka saa asɛm yi ho hwee bio nkyerɛ me.
27 Get thee up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thine eyes, for thou shall not go over this Jordan.
Foro kɔ Pisga na hwɛ atɔeɛ ne atifi ne anafoɔ ne apueeɛ. Esiane sɛ, worentwa Yordan no enti, wʼankasa fa wʼani hwɛ asase no.
28 But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him, for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shall see.
Nanso, tu Yosua na bɔ nʼaba so, na hyɛ no den na ɔno na ɔbɛdi saa nnipa yi anim atwa na wama wɔadi asase a wʼani tua yi so.”
29 So we abode in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
Ɛno enti, yɛtenaa subɔnhwa a ɛbɛn Bet-Peor.
