Joshua 13

1 Now Joshua was old and well along in years, and the LORD said to him, “You are old and well along in years, but very much of the land remains to be possessed.

Bere a Yosua bɔɔ akwakoraa no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Worebɔ akwakoraa nso nsase pii wɔ hɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ woko di so.

2 This is the land that remains: All the territory of the Philistines and the Geshurites,

“Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa no tena Filistifo ne Gesur,

3 from the Shihor east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron on the north (considered to be Canaanite territory)—that of the five Philistine rulers of Gaza, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron, as well as that of the Avvites;

“nsase a na ɛyɛ Kanaanfo de no so. Saa asase yi fi asu Sihor a ɛda Misraim hye so a ɛsen fa atifi fam kosi Ekron hye so,

4 to the south, all the land of the Canaanites, from Mearah of the Sidonians to Aphek, as far as the border of the Amorites;

a Filistifo nkurɔpɔn anum a ɛyɛ Gasa, Asdod, Askelon, Gat ne Ekron nso ka ho. Awifo asase a ɛda anafo fam no nso, wɔnnko nnii so ɛ. Atifi fam nso, wɔnnko nnii saa nsase yi so ɛ; Kanaan asase nyinaa a Meara a ɛyɛ Sidonfo de no, de kosi Afek, kodu Amorifo hye so

5 the land of the Gebalites; and all Lebanon to the east, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to Lebo-hamath.

ne Gebalfo asase ne Lebanon nyinaa wɔ apuei fam, de fi Baal-Gad a ɛda Hermon bepɔw ase, de kosi Hamat fam.

6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim—all the Sidonians—I Myself will drive out before the Israelites. Be sure to divide it by lot as an inheritance to Israel, as I have commanded you.

“Mmepɔw asase a efi Lebanon kosi Misrefot-Maim nyinaa a Sidonfo nsase nyinaa ka ho. Metu saa nnipa no nyinaa afi asase no so na mede ama Israelfo. Enti hwɛ na fa saa asase no ma Israelfo sɛ agyapade sononko sɛnea mahyɛ wo no.

7 Now therefore divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”

Fa saa asase yi nyinaa sɛ Israelfo agyapade bere a worekyekyɛ mu ama mmusuakuw akron no ne Manase abusua fa no.”

8 The other half of Manasseh, along with the Reubenites and Gadites, had received the inheritance Moses had given them beyond the Jordan to the east, just as Moses the servant of the LORD had assigned to them:

Manase abusua fa, Rubenfo ne Gadfo de, na wɔanya wɔn agyapade wɔ Yordan apuei fam, efisɛ na Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade somfo no de saa asase no ama wɔn dedaw.

9 The area from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, the whole plateau of Medeba as far as Dibon,

Wɔn asase no fi Aroer a ɛda Arnon Subon no ano (ne kurow a ɛda nsuka no mfimfini) de kɔ sare a ɛtoa Medeba so kosi Dibon.

10 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the Ammonites;

Amorihene Sihon a odii ade wɔ Hesbon kosi Amonfo hye so nkurow nyinaa nso ka ho.

11 also Gilead and the territory of the Geshurites and Maacathites, all of Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salecah—

Gilead, asase a ɛwɔ Gesur ne Maaka ahemman mu, Bepɔw Hermon nyinaa, Basan nyinaa de kosi Saleka ka ho,

12 the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan, who had reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei and had remained as a remnant of the Rephaim. Moses had struck them down and dispossessed them,

na Basanhene Og a odii hene wɔ Astarot ne Edrei nsase nyinaa nso ka ho. Ɔhene Og yɛ Rafatni a otwa to, efisɛ na Mose ne wɔn ako apam wɔn.

13 but the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maacathites. So Geshur and Maacath dwell among the Israelites to this day.

Nanso Israelfo no antu Gesurfo ne Maakafo enti wɔtenaa Israelfo no mu de besi nnɛ.

14 To the tribe of Levi, however, Moses had given no inheritance. The offerings made by fire to the LORD, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, just as He had promised them.

Na Lewi abusuakuw no de, wamma wɔn agyapade biara. Wɔn agyapade fi afɔrebɔde a wɔhyew wɔ afɔremuka so ma Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no.

15 This is what Moses had given to the clans of the tribe of Reuben:

Mose de saa beae yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Ruben abusuakuw mu.

16 The territory from Aroer on the rim of the Arnon Valley, along with the city in the middle of the valley, to the whole plateau beyond Medeba,

Wɔn asase no fi Aroer a ɛda Arnon Subon no ano (ne kurow a ɛda nsuka no mfimfini) de kɔ sare a ɛtoa Medeba so.

17 to Heshbon and all its cities on the plateau, including Dibon, Bamoth-baal, Beth-baal-meon,

Nkurow ne nkuraase a ɛkeka ho ni: Hesbon ne nkurow a ɛdeda sare so te sɛ Dibon, Bamot-Baal ne Bet-Baal-Meon,

18 Jahaz, Kedemoth, Mephaath,

Yahas, Kedemot, Mefaat,

19 Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth-shahar on the hill in the valley,

Kiriataim, Sibma ne Seret-Sahar, a ɛdeda obon no koko so,

20 Beth-peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth—

Bet-Peor, Pisga nsian mu ne Bet-Yesimot.

21 all the cities of the plateau and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon until Moses killed him and the chiefs of Midian (Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba), the princes of Sihon who lived in the land.

Nkurow a ɛwɔ tataw so nyinaa ne Sihon ahemman nyinaa nso ka Ruben asase no ho. Sihon yɛ Amorihene a na odi ade wɔ Hesbon, nea Mose kum no ne Midian ahemfo a wɔne Ewi, Rekem, Sur, Hur, Reba ne ahenemma a wɔwɔ mpɔtam hɔ a wɔne Sihon yɛ baako.

22 The Israelites also killed the diviner Balaam son of Beor along with the others they put to the sword.

Israelfo no kum Beor babarima nkonyaayifo bi a na wɔfrɛ no Balaam.

23 And the border of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the clans of the Reubenites, including the cities and villages.

Yordan Asubɔnten no yɛ Ruben asase no hye wɔ atɔe fam. Wɔde nkurow ne nkuraa a ɛwɔ saa beae yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Ruben abusuakuw no mu sɛ wɔn agyapade.

24 This is what Moses had given to the clans of the tribe of Gad:

Mose de saa asase yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Gad abusuakuw mu.

25 The territory of Jazer, all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;

Wɔn asase no yɛ Yaser, Gilead nkurow nyinaa, ne Amon asase no fa, kosi Aroer kurow a ɛwɔ Raba atɔe fam pɛɛ.

26 the territory from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

Na efi Hesbon de kosi Ramat-Mispa ne Betonim de fi Mahanaim de kosi Debir.

27 and in the valley, Beth-haram, Beth-nimrah, Succoth, and Zaphon, with the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon (the territory on the east side of the Jordan up to the edge of the Sea of Chinnereth ).

Obon no mu na na Bet-Haram ne Bet-Nimra ne Sukot ne Safon ne Hesbonhene Sihon ahemman no nkae wɔ; Asubɔnten Yordan na na ɛyɛ atɔe fam hɔ hye na ɛtoa so de kosi Galilea po no mu.

28 This was the inheritance of the clans of the Gadites, including the cities and villages.

Nkurow ne nkuraa a ɛwɔ saa beae yi na wɔde maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Gad abusuakuw mu sɛ wɔn agyapade.

29 This is what Moses had given to the clans of the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the tribe of the descendants of Manasseh:

Mose de saa beae yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ

30 The territory from Mahanaim through all Bashan—all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, including all the towns of Jair that are in Bashan, sixty cities;

Na wɔn asase no fi Mahanaim, Basan nyinaa, ɔhene Og kan tete ahemman nyinaa ne nkurow aduosia a ɛwɔ Yair a ɛwɔ Basan no.

31 half of Gilead; and Ashtaroth and Edrei, the royal cities of Og in Bashan. All this was for the clans of the descendants of Machir son of Manasseh, that is, half of the descendants of Machir.

Gilead fa ne ɔhene Og ahenkurow, Astarot ne Edrei ka ho. Wɔde eyinom nyinaa maa Makir a na ɔyɛ Manase babarima no asefo.

32 These were the portions Moses had given them on the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan, east of Jericho.

Eyinom yɛ nkyekyɛmu a Mose yɛe bere a na ɔwɔ Moab tataw so, wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan akyi, Yeriko apuei fam.

33 To the tribe of Levi, however, Moses had given no inheritance. The LORD, the God of Israel, is their inheritance, just as He had promised them.

Nanso Mose amma Lewi abusuakuw no asase biara, efisɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn ahyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ wɔn agyapade.
