Joshua 13
1 Josue was old, and far advanced in years, and the Lord said to him: Thou art grown old, and advanced in age, and there is a very large country left, which is not yet divided by lot:
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 To wit, all Galilee, Philistia, and all Gessuri.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa no tena Filistifo ne Gesur,
3 From the troubled river, that watereth Egypt, unto the borders of Accaron northward: the land of Chanaan, which is divided among the lords of the Philistines, the Gazites, the Azotians, the Ascalonites, the Gethites, and the Accronites.
“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 And on the south side are the Hevites, all the land of Chanaan, and Maara of the Sidonians as far as Apheca, and the borders of the Amorrhite,
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 And his confines. The country also of Libanus towards the east from Baalgad under mount Hermon to the entering into Emath.
ne Gebalfo asase ne Lebanon nyinaa wɔ apuei fam, de fi Baal-Gad a ɛda Hermon bepɔw ase, de kosi Hamat fam.
6 Of all that dwell in the mountains from Libanus, to the waters of Maserephoth, and all the Sidonians. I am he that will cut them off from before the face of the children of Israel. So let their land come in as a part of the inheritance of Israel, as I have commanded thee.
“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 And now divide the land in possession to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasses,
Fa saa asase yi nyinaa sɛ Israelfo agyapade bere a worekyekyɛ mu ama mmusuakuw akron no ne Manase abusua fa no.”
8 With whom Ruben and Gad have possessed the land, which Moses the servant of the Lord delivered to them beyond the river Jordan, on the east side.
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 From Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, and in the midst of the valley and all the plains of Medaba, 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 Sehon, king of the Amorrhites, who reigned in Hesebon, unto the borders of the children of Ammon.
Amorihene Sihon a odii ade wɔ Hesbon kosi Amonfo hye so nkurow nyinaa nso ka ho.
11 And Galaad, and the borders of Gessuri and Machati, and all mount Hermon, and all Basan as far as Salecha,
Gilead, asase a ɛwɔ Gesur ne Maaka ahemman mu, Bepɔw Hermon nyinaa, Basan nyinaa de kosi Saleka ka ho,
12 All the kingdom of Og in Basan, who reigned in Astaroth and Edrai, he was of the remains of the Raphaims: and Moses overthrew and destroyed 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 And the children of Israel would not destroy Gessuri and Machati: and they have dwelt in the midst of Israel, until this present day.
Nanso Israelfo no antu Gesurfo ne Maakafo enti wɔtenaa Israelfo no mu de besi nnɛ.
14 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: but the sacrifices and victims of the Lord God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spoke to him.
Na Lewi abusuakuw no de, wamma wɔn agyapade biara. Wɔn agyapade fi afɔrebɔde a wɔhyew wɔ afɔremuka so ma Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn no.
15 And Moses gave a possession to the children of Ruben according to their kindreds.
Mose de saa beae yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Ruben abusuakuw mu.
16 And their border was from Aroer, which is on the bank of the torrent Arnon, and in the midst of the valley of the same torrent: all the plain, that leadeth to Medaba,
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 And Hesebon, and all their villages, which are in the plains. Dibon also, and Bamothbaal, and the town of Baalmaon,
Nkurow ne nkuraase a ɛkeka ho ni: Hesbon ne nkurow a ɛdeda sare so te sɛ Dibon, Bamot-Baal ne Bet-Baal-Meon,
18 And Jassa, and Cidimoth, and Mephaath,
Yahas, Kedemot, Mefaat,
19 And Cariathaim, and Sabama, and Sarathasar in the mountain of the valley.
Kiriataim, Sibma ne Seret-Sahar, a ɛdeda obon no koko so,
20 Bethphogor and Asedoth, Phasga and Bethiesimoth,
Bet-Peor, Pisga nsian mu ne Bet-Yesimot.
21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdoms of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that reigned in Hesebon, whom Moses slew with the princes of Madian: Hevi, and Recem, and Sur and Hur, and Rebe, dukes of Sehon inhabitants of 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 Balaam also the son of Beer the soothsayer, the children of Israel slew with the sword among the rest that were slain.
Israelfo no kum Beor babarima nkonyaayifo bi a na wɔfrɛ no Balaam.
23 And the river Jordan was the herder of the children of Ruben. This is the possession of the Rubenites, by their kindreds, of 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 And Moses gave to the tribe of Gad and to his children by their kindreds a possession, of which this is the division.
Mose de saa asase yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Gad abusuakuw mu.
25 The border of Jaser, and all the cities of Galaad, and half the land of the children of Ammon: as far as Aroer which is over against Rabba:
Wɔn asase no yɛ Yaser, Gilead nkurow nyinaa, ne Amon asase no fa, kosi Aroer kurow a ɛwɔ Raba atɔe fam pɛɛ.
26 And from Hesebon unto Ramoth, Masphe and Betonim: and from Manaim unto the borders of Dabir.
Na efi Hesbon de kosi Ramat-Mispa ne Betonim de fi Mahanaim de kosi Debir.
27 And in the valley Betharan and Bethnemra, and Socoth, and Saphon the other part of the kingdom of Sehon king of Hesebon: the limit of this also is the Jordan, as far as the uttermost part of the sea of Cenereth beyond the Jordan on the east side.
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 is the possession of the children of Gad by their families, their cities, and villages.
Nkurow ne nkuraa a ɛwɔ saa beae yi na wɔde maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Gad abusuakuw mu sɛ wɔn agyapade.
29 He gave also to the half tribe of Manasses and his children possession according to their kindreds,
Mose de saa beae yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ
30 The beginning whereof is this: from Manaim all Basan, and all the kingdoms of Og king of Basan, and all the villages of Jair, which are in Basan, threescore towns.
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 And half Galaad, and Astaroth, and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan: to the children of Machir, the son of Manasses, to one? half of the children of Machir according to their kindreds.
Gilead fa ne ɔhene Og ahenkurow, Astarot ne Edrei ka ho. Wɔde eyinom nyinaa maa Makir a na ɔyɛ Manase babarima no asefo.
32 This possession Moses divided in the plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, over against Jericho on the east side.
Eyinom yɛ nkyekyɛmu a Mose yɛe bere a na ɔwɔ Moab tataw so, wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan akyi, Yeriko apuei fam.
33 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no possession: because the Lord the God of Israel himself is their possession, as he spoke to them.
Nanso Mose amma Lewi abusuakuw no asase biara, efisɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn ahyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ wɔn agyapade.
