Joshua 15

1 Now the part of the land marked out for the children of Judah by families, went up to the edge of Edom, as far as the waste land of Zin to the south, to the farthest point of it on the south.

Asase a wɔde maa mmusua a wobom yɛ Yuda abusuakuw no koduu Edom hye so wɔ anafo fam, na Sin sare so na ɛkɔpem.

2 Their south limit was from the farthest part of the Salt Sea, from the inlet looking to the south:

Anafo fam hye no fitii ase wɔ Nkyene Po no awiei a ɛwɔ anafo fam,

3 From there it goes south of the slope up to Akrabbim, and on to Zin, then south past Kadesh-barnea, and on by Hezron and up to Addar, turning in the direction of Karka:

sen faa Akrabbim kosii Sin sare so. Ɛtoaa so kɔɔ Kades-Barnea anafo fam kosii Hesron. Afei ɛkɔɔ soro kosii Adar na ɛpono kɔɔ Karka.

4 Then on to Azmon, ending at the stream of Egypt: and the end of the limit is at the sea; this will be your limit on the south.

Etwaa mu ha kɔɔ Asmon koduu Misraim asuwa no ho, na ɛfaa ho ara kowiee wɔ Po Kɛse no mu. Eyi ne wɔn anafo fam hye.

5 And the east limit is the Salt Sea as far as the end of Jordan. And the limit of the north part of the land is from the inlet of the sea at the end of Jordan:

Apuei fam hye no fi Nkyene Po no kodu Asubɔnten Yordan ano. Atifi fam hye no fi beae a Asubɔnten Yordan bɔ Nkyene Po no mu,

6 Then the line goes up to Beth-hoglah, past the north of Beth-arabah, and up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;

twa mu kɔ Bet-Hogla, na afei akɔ Bet-Araba atifi fam, akɔka Bohan bo (Na Bohan yɛ Ruben babarima) no ho.

7 Then the line goes up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so to the north, in the direction of Gilgal, which is opposite the slope up to Adummim, on the south side of the river: and the line goes on to the waters of En-shemesh, ending at En-rogel:

Efi hɔ a, ɛkɔfa Akɔr bon no mu kɔka Debir, na ɛdan wɔ atifi fam kyerɛ Gilgal, a etwa mu fi Adumim nsian mu wɔ anafo fam wɔ obon no nkyɛn mu. Efi hɔ a, ɔhye no sen kosi En-Semes nsu no ano, na akɔpem En-Rogel.

8 Then the line goes up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem): then up to the top of the mountain in front of the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the farthest point of the valley of Rephaim on the north:

Afei, ɔhye no fa Hinom babarima bon no mu, kɔfa Yebusifo anafo nsian so, nea Yerusalem kuropɔn no da. Afei ɛkɔ atɔe fam wɔ bepɔw no apampam, toa so kɔ Hinom bon no so kosi Refaim bon ano wɔ atifi fam.

9 And the limit is marked out from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and out to the towns of Mount Ephron, as far as Baalah (which is Kiriath-jearim):

Efi hɔ a, ɔhye no toa so kɔfa bepɔw no apampam kɔ Neftoa asuti no nsu ho, fi hɔ akɔ nkurow a ɛdeda Efron bepɔw so no. Na ebukaw kɔ Baala (a ɛyɛ Kiriat-Yearim.)

10 Then turning west, the line goes from Baalah to Mount Seir, and on to the side of Mount Jearim (which is Chesalon) on the north, then down to Beth-shemesh, and on past Timnah:

Ɔhye no twa fa Baala ho wɔ atɔe fam kosi bepɔw Seir so, ɛkɔ ara kosi Kesalon kurom wɔ bepɔw Yearim atifi nsian so, na akɔ fam akosi Bet-Semes ne Timna.

11 And out to the side of Ekron to the north: then it is marked out to Shikkeron and on to Mount Baalah, ending at Jabneel; the end of the line is at the sea.

Ɔhye no kɔɔ ara kosii bepɔw no nsian a ɛwɔ Ekron atifi fam no, dan kyerɛɛ Sikron, faa hɔ kɔɔ Baala bepɔw no de koduu Yabneel. Ɔhye no kɔpem Po Kɛse no.

12 And the limit on the west is the edge of the Great Sea. This is the line going round the land marked out for the children of Judah, by their families.

Na atɔe fam hye no nso ne Ntam Po no mpoano. Eyinom ne mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Yuda mmusuakuw no ahye.

13 And to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a part among the children of Judah, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua, that is, Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the father of Anak which is Hebron.

Awurade hyɛɛ Yosua se ɔmfa Yuda asase no bi mma Yefune babarima Kaleb. Enti, wɔde kuropɔn Arba (a ɛyɛ Hebron) a wɔde too Anak tete agya no maa no.

14 And the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak, were forced out from there by Caleb.

Na Kaleb tuu Sesai, Ahiman ne Talmai a wɔyɛ Anak asefo no fii hɔ.

15 From there he went up against the people of Debir: (now the name of Debir before that was Kiriath-sepher.)

Afei, ɔko tiaa nnipa a na wɔte kurow Debir (a kan no na wɔfrɛ no Kiriat-Sefer) no.

16 And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

Kaleb kae se, “Mede me babea Aksa bɛma obi a ɔbɛtow ahyɛ Kiriat-Sefer kurow no so na wadi so no aware.”

17 And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, took it: so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

Ɛnna Kaleb nua Kenas babarima Otniel dii so nti, Aksa bɛyɛɛ Otniel yere.

18 Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

Aksa waree Otniel no, ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ommisa nʼagya Kaleb na ɔmfa asase no bi nka ho. Aksa fii nʼafurum so sii fam no, Kaleb bisaa no se, “Dɛn na menyɛ mma wo?”

19 And she said, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So he gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.

Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛ me adom sononko. Woayɛ adom, ama me Asase wɔ Negeb; ma me nsuwansuwa asase nso.” Enti Kaleb maa no ɔsoro ne fam nsuwansuwa asase.

20 This is the heritage of the tribe of Judah, by their families.
