Numbers 34

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

2 Command the children of Israel, and then shalt say to them: When you are entered into the land of Chanaan, and it shall be fallen into your possession by lot, it shall be bounded by these limits:

“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se: ‘Sɛ mubedu Kanaan asase no so a, asase a mede rema mo sɛ mo ankasa asase no a, sɛɛ na mo ahye bɛyɛ:

3 The south side shall begin from the wilderness of Sin, which is by Edom: and shall have the most salt sea for its furthest limits eastward:

“‘Asase no anafo fam no bɛyɛ Sin sare so a ɛda Edom hye ano no fa bi. Anafo hye no ano befi apuei fam, Nkyene Po no anafo.

4 Which limits shall go round on the south side by the ascent of the Scorpion and so into Senna, and reach toward the south as far as Cadesbarne, from whence the frontiers shall go out to the town called Adar, and shall reach as far as Asemona.

Ɛbɛtoa so akɔtra Akrabbim wɔ anafo hɔ a ɛrekɔ Sin no. Nʼanafo pa ara no bɛyɛ Kades-Barnea, na efi hɔ akosi Hasarada de akowie Asmon.

5 And the limits shall fetch a compass from Asemona to the torrent of Egypt, and shall end in the shore of the great sea.

Efi Asmon a, ɔhye no bɛkɔ ara akosi Misraim asuwa no mu na ano akɔpem Ntam Po no ano.

6 And the west side shall begin from the great sea, and the same shall be the end thereof.

Mo hye a ɛwɔ atɔe no bɛyɛ Ntam Po no ano.

7 But toward the north side the borders shall begin from the great sea, reaching to the most high mountain,

Mo hye a ɛda atifi no befi ase wɔ Ntam Po no ano na atoa so akosi bepɔw Hor,

8 From which they shall come to Emath, as far as the borders of Sedada:

de akɔ Lebo Hamat na akɔ Sedad

9 And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.

na atoa so akɔ Sifron na akowie wɔ Hasar-Enan.

10 From thence they shall mark out the bounds towards the east side from the village of Enan unto Sephama.

Apuei hye no befi Hasar-Enan akɔ Sefam.

11 And from Sephama the bounds shall go down to Rebla over against the fountain of Daphnis: from thence they shall come eastward to the sea of Cenereth,

Ɔhye no besian afi Sefam akosi Ribla wɔ Ain apuei fam. Efi hɔ a, ebesiansian afa mmepɔw no ase wɔ Galilea Po no apuei fam.

12 And shall reach as far as the Jordan, and at the last shall be closed in by the most salt sea. This shall be your land with its borders round about.

Ɔhye no besian afa Asubɔnten Yordan ho na akɔpem Nkyene Po no. “‘Sɛnea mo nsase ne mo ahye te ni.’”

13 And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This shall be the land which you shall possess by lot, and which the Lord hath commanded to be given to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe.

Afei Mose hyɛɛ Israelfo no se, “Momfa ntontobɔ so nkyekyɛ asase yi sɛ mo agyapade. Awurade ahyɛ sɛ wɔmfa mma mmusua akron ne fa no,

14 For the tribe of the children of Ruben by their families, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the number of their kindreds, and half of the tribe of Manasses,

efisɛ Ruben ne Gad mmusuakuw no ne Manase abusua no fa no de, wɔanya wɔn agyapade dedaw.

15 That is, two tribes and a half, have received their portion beyond the Jordan over against Jericho at the east side.

Saa mmusua abien ne fa yi anya wɔn agyapade wɔ Yeriko akyi, Yordan apuei fam a ɛhwɛ apuei no.”

16 And the Lord said to Moses:

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

17 These are the names of the men, that shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Josue the son of Nun,

“Nnipa a wɔn din didi so yi na mayi wɔn sɛ wɔnkyekyɛ asase no mu mma mo sɛ mo agyapade: Ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne, Nun babarima Yosua.

18 And one prince of every tribe,

Yi abusua biara mu ɔpanyin baako na ɔmmoa nkyekyɛ asase no.

19 Whose names are these: Of the tribe of Juda, Caleb the son of Jephone.

“Wɔn din na edidi so yi: “Yefune babarima Kaleb, Yuda abusuakuw ntuanoni;

20 Of the tribe of Simeon, Samuel the son of Ammiud.

29 These are they whom the Lord hath commanded to divide the land of Chanaan to the children of Israel.

Saa nnipa yi na Awurade yii wɔn sɛ wɔnhwɛ nkyekyɛ agyapade no mu mma Israelfo no wɔ Kanaan asase so no.
