Joshua 14
1 And this is what the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, allotted for inheritance to them:
Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo nkaeɛ no nyaa nsase wɔ Kanaan sɛ agyapadeɛ, sɛdeɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa, Nun babarima Yosua ne Israel mmusuakuo ntuanofoɔ no de maa wɔn.
2 their inheritance was by lot, as Jehovah had commanded by Moses, for the nine tribes, and the half tribe.
Saa mmusuakuo nkron ne fa yi nam ntontobɔ so na wɔnyaa wɔn agyapadeɛ no sɛdeɛ Awurade faa Mose so hyɛɛ no.
3 For Moses had given the inheritance of the two tribes and the half tribe beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he had given no inheritance among them.
Na Mose ama mmusuakuo mmienu ne fa no nsase sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam dada.
4 For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim; and they gave no part to the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
Yosef abusuakuo no deɛ, na abɛyɛ mmusuakuo mmienu a wɔn ne Manase ne Efraim. Lewifoɔ no deɛ, wɔamma wɔn asase no mu bi koraa, gye nkuro a wɔbɛtena so ne adidibea a wɔn nnwan ne wɔn anantwie bɛkɔ so adidi.
5 As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
Enti, asase no mu kyekyɛ no, wɔgyinaa mmara a Awurade de maa Mose no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
6 Then the children of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, Thou knowest the word that Jehovah spoke to Moses the man of God, concerning me and thee, in Kadesh-barnea.
Wɔtuu asomafoɔ firi Yuda abusuakuo mu a Kaleb a ɔyɛ Kenesini, Yefune babarima di wɔn anim baa Yosua nkyɛn wɔ Gilgal. Kaleb ka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Kae asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose, Onyankopɔn onipa, a ɛfa me ne wo ho wɔ ɛberɛ a na yɛwɔ Kades-Barnea no.
7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of Jehovah sent me from Kadesh-barnea to search out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in my heart.
Ɛberɛ a Mose, Awurade ɔsomfoɔ no somaa me firi Kades-Barnea sɛ menkɔhwehwɛ Kanaan asase no so no, na madi mfeɛ aduanan. Mesane mʼakyi na mefiri akoma pa mu bɛkaa deɛ mehunuiɛ nyinaa,
8 And my brethren that had gone up with me made the heart of the people melt; but I wholly followed Jehovah my God.
nanso me nuanom a wɔkaa me ho kɔɔ no, hunahunaa nnipa no, tuu wɔn aba mu sɛ wɔnntu wɔn nan nnsi Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Na me fam mu deɛ, mede me ho nyinaa dii Awurade, me Onyankopɔn akyi.
9 And Moses swore on that day, saying, The land whereon thy feet have trodden shall assuredly be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever! for thou hast wholly followed Jehovah my God.
Enti saa ɛda no, Mose hyɛɛ me bɔ sɛ, ‘Kanaan asase a wokɔnantee so yi bɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefoɔ agyapadeɛ sononko daa nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, wofiri wʼakoma nyinaa mu adi Awurade, me Onyankopɔn akyi.’
10 And now behold, Jehovah has kept me alive, as he said, these forty-five years, since Jehovah spoke this word to Moses, when Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now behold, I am this day eighty-five years old.
“Afei, sɛdeɛ wohunu yi, Awurade ahwɛ me so yie mfeɛ aduanan enum firi ɛberɛ a Mose hyɛɛ saa bɔ yi wɔ ɛberɛ a na Israelfoɔ nenam ɛserɛ so no. Ɛnnɛ madi mfeɛ aduɔwɔtwe enum.
11 I am still this day strong, as in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out and to come in.
Me ho yɛ den ɛnnɛ te sɛ ɛda a Mose somaa me no na mɛtumi atu kwan akɔ ɔko ano seesei te sɛ kane no.
12 And now give me this mountain, of which Jehovah spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day that Anakim are there, and great fortified cities. If so be Jehovah shall be with me, then I shall dispossess them, as Jehovah said.
Enti merebisa na wode bepɔ asase a Awurade de hyɛɛ me bɔ no ama me. Wobɛkae sɛ na yɛyɛ akwansrafoɔ no, yɛhunuu sɛ Anakfoɔ tete nkuropɔn akɛseɛ a wato ɔfasuo afa ho mu. Nanso sɛ Awurade ka me ho a, mɛpam wɔn afiri asase no so sɛdeɛ Awurade kaa no.”
13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.
Na Yosua hyiraa Kaleb, Yefune babarima no de Hebron maa no sɛ agyapadeɛ.
14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed Jehovah the God of Israel.
Hebron da so yɛ Kaleb, Yefune a ɔyɛ Kenesini babarima no asefoɔ dea, ɛfiri sɛ ɔde nʼakoma nyinaa dii Awurade Israel Onyankopɔn akyi.
15 Now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-Arba; the great man among the Anakim. And the land rested from war.
(Kane no na wɔfrɛ Hebron sɛ Kiriat-Arba. Wɔde Arba yi too Anakfoɔ mu okunini kɛseɛ pa ara bi.) Na akokoakoko firii asase no so.
