Joshua 14
1 These also are the places which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the Priest, and Ioshua the sonne of Nun and the chiefe fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed to them,
Israelfo mmusuakuw nkae no nyaa nsase wɔ Kanaan sɛ agyapade, sɛnea ɔsɔfo Eleasar, Nun babarima Yosua ne Israel mmusuakuw ntuanofo no de maa wɔn no.
2 By the lot of their inheritance, as the Lord had commanded by the hande of Moses, to giue to the nine tribes, and the halfe tribe.
Saa mmusuakuw akron ne fa yi nam ntontobɔ so na wonyaa wɔn agyapade no sɛnea Awurade faa Mose so hyɛe no.
3 For Moses had giuen inheritance vnto two tribes and an halfe tribe, beyond Iorde: but vnto the Leuites he gaue none inheritance among them.
Na Mose ama mmusuakuw abien ne fa no nsase sɛ wɔn agyapade wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam dedaw.
4 For the childre of Ioseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gaue no part vnto the Leuites in the lande, saue cities to dwell in, with the suburbes of the same for their beastes and their substance.
Yosef abusuakuw no de, na abɛyɛ mmusuakuw abien a wɔne Manase ne Efraim. Lewifo no de, wɔamma wɔn asase no mu bi koraa, gye nkurow a wɔbɛtena so ne adidibea a wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi bɛkɔ so adidi.
5 As the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did when they deuided the land.
Enti asase no mu kyekyɛ no, wogyinaa mmara a Awurade de maa Mose no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
6 Then the children of Iudah came vnto Ioshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenezite saide vnto him, Thou knowest what the Lord saide vnto Moses the man of God, concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea.
Wotuu asomafo fi Yuda abusuakuw mu a Kaleb a ɔyɛ Kenesini, Yefune babarima di wɔn anim baa Yosua nkyɛn wɔ Gilgal. Kaleb ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Kae asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose, Onyankopɔn nipa, a ɛfa me ne wo ho, bere a na yɛwɔ Kades-Barnea no.
7 Fourtie yeere olde was I, when Moses the seruant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espie the land, and I brought him word againe, as I thought in mine heart.
Bere a Mose, Awurade somfo no somaa me fi Kades-Barnea sɛ menkɔhwehwɛ Kanaan asase no so no, na madi mfe aduanan. Mesan mʼakyi na mifi koma pa mu bɛkaa nea mihuu nyinaa,
8 But my brethren that went vp with me, discouraged the heart of the people: yet I followed still the Lord my God.
nanso me nuanom a wɔkaa me ho kɔe no hunahunaa nnipa no, buu wɔn aba mu sɛ wonntu wɔn nan nsi Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Na me fam mu de, mede me ho nyinaa dii Awurade, me Nyankopɔn akyi.
9 Wherefore Moses sware the same day, saying, Certainely the land whereon thy feete haue troden, shalbe thine inheritance, and thy childrens for euer, because thou hast followed constantly the Lord my God.
Enti saa da no, Mose hyɛɛ me bɔ se, ‘Kanaan asase a wokɔnantew so yi bɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefo agyapade sononko daa nyinaa, efisɛ wufi wo koma nyinaa mu adi Awurade, me Nyankopɔn akyi.’
10 Therefore beholde nowe, the Lord hath kept me aliue, as he promised: this is the fourtie and fift yeere since the Lord spake this thing vnto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wildernes: and nowe loe, I am this day foure score and fiue yeere olde:
“Afei, sɛnea wuhu yi, Awurade ahwɛ me so yiye mfe aduanan anum fi bere a Mose hyɛɛ saa bɔ yi bere a na Israelfo nenam sare so no. Nnɛ, madi mfe aduɔwɔtwe anum.
11 And yet am as strong at this time, as I was when Moses sent me: as strong as I was then, so strong am I nowe, either for warre, or for gouernment.
Me ho yɛ den nnɛ te sɛ da a Mose somaa me no na metumi atu kwan akɔ ɔko ano mprempren te sɛ kan no.
12 Nowe therefore giue me this mountaine whereof ye Lord spake in that day (for thou heardest in that day, how the Anakims were there, and the cities great and walled) if so be the Lord will be with me, that I may driue them out, as the Lord said.
Enti merebisa na wode bepɔw asase a Awurade de hyɛɛ me bɔ no ama me. Wobɛkae sɛ na yɛyɛ akwansrafo no, yehuu sɛ Anakfo tete nkuropɔn akɛse a wato ɔfasu afa ho mu. Nanso sɛ Awurade ka me ho a, mɛpam wɔn afi asase no so sɛnea Awurade kae no.”
13 Then Ioshua blessed him, and gaue vnto Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance.
Na Yosua hyiraa Kaleb, Yefune babarima no de Hebron maa no sɛ agyapade.
14 Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh the Kenezite, vnto this day: because he followed constantly the Lord God of Israel.
Hebron da so yɛ Kaleb, Yefune a ɔyɛ Kenesini babarima no asefo de, efisɛ ɔde ne koma nyinaa dii Awurade Israel Nyankopɔn akyi.
15 And the name of Hebron was before time, Kiriath-arba: which Arba was a great man amog the Anakims: thus the land ceassed from warre.
Kan no na wɔfrɛ Hebron sɛ Kiriat-Arba. Wɔde Arba yi too Anakfo mu okunini pa ara bi. Na akokoakoko fii asase no so.
