Numbers 32

1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle; and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle,

Na Ruben ne Gad mmusuakuo no wɔ nyɛmmoa pii, enti wohunuu sɛ Yaser ne Gilead nsase no bɛyɛ ama wɔn nnwan ne anantwie no,

2 the children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying:

wɔkɔɔ Mose ne ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne nnipa no ntuanofoɔ no nkyɛn. Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,

3 'Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

“Atarot, Dibon, Yaser, Nimra, Hesbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo ne Beon.

4 the land which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.'

Saa nsase yi nyinaa, Awurade ako, agye ama Israelfoɔ. Ɛbɛyɛ ama yɛn nnwan ne yɛn anantwie.

5 And they said: 'If we have found favour in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession; bring us not over the Jordan.'

Sɛ yɛanya adom wɔ mo anim a, yɛsrɛ mo momfa saa asase yi mma yɛn sɛ yɛn kyɛfa na monnyae Asubɔnten Yordan fa nohoa a mopɛ sɛ mode ma yɛn no.”

6 And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben: 'Shall your brethren go to the war, and shall ye sit here?

Mose nso bisaa Rubenfoɔ ne Gadfoɔ no sɛ, “Mokyerɛ sɛ, mopɛ sɛ motena ha wɔ ɛberɛ a mo nuanom atwa mu rekɔko?

7 And wherefore will ye turn away the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

Mopɛ sɛ mobu nnipa a aka no aba mu ma wɔsane sɛ wɔrenkɔ asase a Awurade de ama wɔn no so no?

8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

Ade koro yi ara na mo agyanom yɛeɛ. Mesomaa wɔn firii Kades-Barnea sɛ wɔnkɔsra asase no

9 For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they turned away the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

nanso ɛberɛ a wɔwiee nsra no na wɔfiri Eskol subɔnhwa mu baeɛ no, wɔbuu nnipa no aba mu sɛ wɔrenkɔ Awurade Bɔhyɛ Asase no so.

10 And the LORD'S anger was kindled in that day, and He swore, saying:

Na Awurade bo fuu wɔn enti ɔkaa ntam sɛ,

11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed Me;

wɔn a wɔayi wɔn afiri Misraim asase so no, wɔn mu biara nni hɔ a wadi boro mfirinhyia aduonu a ɔbɛhunu asase a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ho bɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔanni ne mmara so.

12 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have wholly followed the LORD.

Agye Kenesini Yefune babarima Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua na wɔnka ho, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔde wɔn akoma nyinaa dii Awurade akyi, hyɛɛ nnipa nkuran sɛ wɔnkɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so.

13 And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander to and fro in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

Awurade ma yɛkyinkyinii ɛserɛ no so hɔ mfirinhyia aduanan kɔsii sɛ saa awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ amumuyɛfoɔ no nyinaa wuwuiɛ.

14 And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, a brood of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.

“Nanso, monhwɛ, abɔnefoɔ, moreyɛ saa bɔne koro no ara bi. Esiane sɛ mo dɔɔso enti, Awurade bo a afu Israel no ano bɛyɛ den sen kane no.

15 For if ye turn away from after Him, He will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and so ye will destroy all this people.'

Sɛ motwe mo ho firi Onyankopɔn ho sei a, ɔbɛma nnipa no atena ɛserɛ so hɔ akyɛre na sɛ nnome bi ba wɔn so a, ɛho asodie da mo so.”

16 And they came near unto him, and said: 'We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones;

Wɔteaam sɛ, “Ɛnte saa koraa! Yɛbɛyɛ yɛn nnwammuo na yɛakyekyere nkuro akɛseɛ asi nketewa no anan

17 but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

na yɛn ankasa de akodeɛ bɛhyehyɛ yɛn ho adi Israelfoɔ a aka no anim kɔsi sɛ yɛde wɔn bɛba asomdwoeɛ mu ama wɔabɛfa wɔn agyapadeɛ. Na deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkyekyere nkuro a yɛbɛgye afasuo afa ho ama yɛn nkurɔfoɔ atena mu na ɛhɔfoɔ no ankɔto anhyɛ wɔn so.

18 We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

Sɛ Israelfoɔ no nsa nkaa wɔn agyapadeɛ no a, yɛrentena ha.

19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward, because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward.'

Yɛmpɛ Yordan ho asase biara. Mmom, yɛpɛ asase a ɛda apueeɛ fam hɔ no.”

20 And Moses said unto them: 'If ye will do this thing: if ye will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,

Mose kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ. Sɛ mobɛyɛ sɛdeɛ moaka no, na mode akodeɛ ahyehyɛ mo ho ama Awurade ɔko no,

21 and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until He hath driven out His enemies from before Him,

na mode mo akodɔm no atware Yordan kɔsi sɛ Awurade bɛpamo nʼatamfoɔ no a,

22 and the land be subdued before the LORD, and ye return afterward; then ye shall be clear before the LORD, and before Israel, and this land shall be unto you for a possession before the LORD.

ɛnneɛ, sɛ asase no ho asɛm dwo brɛoo wɔ Awurade anim a, motumi sane ba. Ɛba saa a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, moayɛ mo asɛdeɛ ama Awurade ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa. Na asase a ɛda apueeɛ no nso, Awurade de bɛma mo.

23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD; and know ye your sin which will find you.

“Sɛ moanni asɛm a moaka no so a, na moayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, na sɛ ɛba saa a, monhunu sɛ, ɛho asotwe bɛba mo so.

24 Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.'

Monkɔ so nkyekyere nkuro mma mo fiefoɔ na monyɛ nnwammuo mma mo nnwan na monni asɛm a mokaeɛ no nyinaa so.”

25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke unto Moses, saying: 'Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

Ruben ne Gad nkurɔfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Yɛbɛdi wʼahyɛdeɛ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.

26 Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;

Yɛn mma, yɛn yerenom, yɛn nnwan ne yɛn anantwie bɛtena Gilead nkuropɔn mu.

27 but thy servants will pass over, every man that is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.'

Nanso, yɛn a wɔakyere yɛn sɛ asraafoɔ no bɛko ama Awurade sɛdeɛ woaka no.”

28 So Moses gave charge concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.

Enti, Mose penee so ka kyerɛɛ Eleasa, Yosua ne mpanimfoɔ a wɔtuatua Israel mmusuakuo ano no sɛ,

29 And Moses said unto them: 'If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man that is armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you, then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession;

“Sɛ Gad ne Ruben abusuakuo mu mmarima nyinaa a wɔakyere wɔn ahyɛ sraa mu sɛ wɔnkɔko mma Awurade no ne me kɔ Yordan na sɛ wɔkɔko di nkonim wɔ hɔ a, momfa Gilead asase no mma wɔn;

30 but if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.'

na sɛ wɔankɔ a, ɛnneɛ wɔmpene so mfa nsase a mowɔ wɔ Kanaan asase so no bi.”

31 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying: 'As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.

Gad ne Ruben abusuafoɔ kaa bio sɛ, “Yɛbɛdi Awurade asɛm so;

32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan.'

yɛde akodeɛ bɛhyehyɛ yɛn ho adi Awurade akyi akɔ Kanaan nanso, yɛn ara yɛn asase bɛda Yordan fa ha.”

33 And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to the cities thereof with their borders, even the cities of the land round about.

Enti, Mose maa wɔde Amorifoɔhene Sihon ne Basanhene Og nsasetam ne wɔn nkuro akɛseɛ maa Gad, Ruben ne Yosef babarima Manase mmusuakuo.

34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer;

Gad nkurɔfoɔ na wɔkyekyeree saa nkuro yi: Dibon, Atarot, Aroer.

35 and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah;

Atrot-Sofan, Yaser Yogbeha,

36 and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran; fortified cities, and folds for sheep.

Bet-Nimra ne Betharan. Na ɛyɛ nkuro a nnwan wɔ mu yie.

37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim;

Ruben mmammarima na wɔkyekyeree saa nkuro a ɛdidi so yi: Hesbon, Eleale Kiriataim,

38 and Nebo, and Baal-meon — their names being changed — and Sibmah; and gave their names unto the cities which they builded.

Nebo, Baal-Meon ne Sibma. Wɔtotoo nkuro a wɔakyekyere no edin foforɔ.

39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites that were therein.

Afei, Makir asefoɔ a wɔfiri Manase abusuakuo mu kɔɔ Gilead kɔko dii hɔ so pamoo Amorifoɔ a saa ɛberɛ no na wɔte hɔ no nyinaa.

40 And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.

Enti, Mose de Gilead maa Makirfoɔ, Manase asefoɔ, ma wɔtenaa hɔ.

41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the villages thereof, and called them Havvoth-jair.

Manase abusuakuo mu nnipa foforɔ bi a wɔfiri Yair nso tenatenaa Gilead nkuro bebree so, sesaa beaeɛ a wɔwɔ hɔ no din frɛɛ hɔ Hafrotyair.

42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.

Ɔbarima bi a ne din de Noba dii asraafoɔ bi anim de wɔn kɔɔ Kenat ne ne nkuraaseɛ kɔbɔɔ wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ hɔ, enti ɔde ne din Noba too saa beaeɛ hɔ.
