Joshua 15
1 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was: to the border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin, southward, in the extreme south.
Asase a wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbom yɛ Yuda abusuakuo no kɔduruu Edom ɛhyeɛ so wɔ anafoɔ fam, na Sin ɛserɛ so na ɛkɔpem.
2 And their southern border was from the end of the salt sea, from the tongue that turns southward;
Anafoɔ fam ɛhyeɛ no hyɛɛ aseɛ wɔ Nkyene Ɛpo no mpoano a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam,
3 and it went out south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed on to Zin, and went up on the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed to Hezron, and went up toward Addar, and turned toward Karkaah,
tene faa Akrabbim kɔsii Sin ɛserɛ so. Ɛtoaa so kɔɔ Kades-Barnea anafoɔ fam kɔsii Hesron. Afei ɛkɔɔ soro kɔsii Adar, ɛnna ɛdane kɔɔ Karka.
4 and passed on to Azmon, and went out by the torrent of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. That shall be your border southward.
Ɛtwaam kɔɔ Asmon kɔduruu Misraim asuwa no ho, na ɛfaa ho ara kɔwiee wɔ ɛpo kɛseɛ no mu. Yei ne wɔn anafoɔ fam ɛhyeɛ.
5 — And the eastern border was the salt sea as far as the end of the Jordan. — And the border on the north side was from the tongue of the salt sea, at the end of the Jordan;
Apueeɛ fam ɛhyeɛ no firi Nkyene Ɛpo no kɔduru Asubɔnten Yordan ano. Atifi fam ɛhyeɛ no firi beaeɛ a Asubɔnten Yordan bɔ Nkyene Ɛpo no mu,
6 and the border went up toward Beth-hoglah, and passed north of Beth-Arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;
na ɛtwam kɔ Bet-Hogla, na afei akɔ Bet-Araba atifi fam, akɔka Bohan boɔ no ho. Na Bohan yɛ Ruben babarima.
7 and the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and turned northward to Gilgal, which is opposite to the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the torrent; and the border passed to the waters of En-shemesh, and ended at En-rogel;
Ɛfiri hɔ a, ɛkɔfa Akɔr bɔnhwa no mu kɔka Debir, na ɛdane wɔ atifi fam kyerɛ Gilgal, a ɛtwam firi Adumim nsianeɛ mu wɔ anafoɔ fam wɔ bɔnhwa no nkyɛn mu. Ɛfiri hɔ a, ɛhyeɛ no tene kɔsi En-Semes nsuo no ano, na akɔpem En-Rogel.
8 and the border went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom, toward the south side of the Jebusite, that is, Jerusalem; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that is before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim northward;
Afei, ɛhyeɛ no fa Hinom babarima bɔnhwa no mu, kɔfa Yebusifoɔ anafoɔ nsianeɛ so, deɛ Yerusalem kuropɔn no da. Afei ɛkɔ atɔeɛ fam wɔ bepɔ no apampam, toa so kɔ Hinom bɔnhwa no so kɔsi Refaim bɔnhwa ano wɔ atifi fam.
9 and the border reached along from the top of the mountain toward the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out toward the cities of mount Ephron; and the border reached along to Baalah, that is, Kirjath-jearim;
Ɛfiri hɔ a, ɛhyeɛ no toa so kɔfa bepɔ no apampam kɔ Neftoa asuo no asutire no ho. Ɛfiri hɔ kɔ nkuro a ɛdeda Efron bepɔ so no. Na ɛhima kɔ Baala (a ɛyɛ Kiriat-Yearim.)
10 and the border turned from Baalah westwards toward mount Seir, and passed toward the side of Har-jearim, that is, Chesalon, northwards, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed Timnah.
Ɛhyeɛ no twa fa Baala ho wɔ atɔeɛ fam kɔsi bepɔ Seir so, ɛkɔ ara kɔsi Kesalon kurom wɔ bepɔ Yearim atifi nsianeɛ so, na akɔ fam akɔsi Bet-Semes ne Timna.
11 And the border went out to the side of Ekron northwards, and the border reached along toward Shicron, and passed mount Baalah, and went toward Jabneel; and the border ended at the sea.
Ɛhyeɛ no kɔ ara kɔsi bepɔ no nsianeɛ a ɛwɔ Ekron atifi fam, baabi a ɛdane hwɛ Sikron ne Baala bepɔ no. Ɛtra Yabneel na akɔpem Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no.
12 — And the west border is the great sea and [its] coast. This is the border of the children of Judah round about, according to their families.
Na atɔeɛ fam ɛhyeɛ no nso ne Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no mpoanompoano. Yeinom ne mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Yuda mmusuakuo no ahyeɛ.
13 And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua, the city of Arba, the father of Anak, that is, Hebron.
Awurade hyɛɛ Yosua sɛ 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 thence Caleb dispossessed the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, who were born of Anak.
Na Kaleb tuu Sesai, Ahiman ne Talmai a wɔyɛ Anak asefoɔ no firii hɔ.
15 And from there he went up against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.
Afei, ɔko tiaa nnipa a na wɔte kuro Debir (a kane no na wɔfrɛ no Kiriat-Sefer) no.
16 And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjath-sepher and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.
Kaleb kaa sɛ, “Obiara a ɔbɛto ahyɛ Kiriat-Sefer so na wafa no, mede me babaa Aksa bɛma no aware.”
17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
Ɛnna Kaleb nua Kenas babarima Otniel dii so enti, Aksa bɛyɛɛ Otniel yere.
18 And it came to pass as she came, that she urged him to ask of her father a field; and she sprang down from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou?
Aksa waree Otniel no, ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ɔmmisa nʼagya Kaleb na ɔmfa asase no bi nka ho. Aksa firii nʼafunumu so sii fam no, Kaleb bisaa no sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn? Ɛdeɛn na menyɛ mma wo?”
19 And she said, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a southern land; give me also springs of water. Then he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hyira me bio. Woayɛ adom ama me Asase wɔ Negeb; ma me nsuwansuwa asase nso.” Enti, Kaleb maa no atifi ne anafoɔ fam nsuwansuwa asase.
