Joshua 15
1 And the borders of the tribe of Juda according to their families were from the borders of Idumea from the wilderness of sin, as far as Cades southward.
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 borders were from the south as far as a part of the salt sea from the high country that extends southward.
Anafoɔ fam ɛhyeɛ no hyɛɛ aseɛ wɔ Nkyene Ɛpo no mpoano a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam,
3 And they proceed before the ascent of Acrabin, and go out round Sena, and go up from the south to Cades Barne; and go out to Asoron, and proceed up to Sarada, and go out by the way that is west of Cades.
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 they go out to Selmona, and issue at the valley of Egypt; and the termination of its boundaries shall be at the sea: these are their boundaries 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 their boundaries eastward [are] all the salt sea as far as Jordan; and their borders from the north, and from the border of the sea, and from part of 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 the borders go up to Baethaglaam, and they go along from the north to Baetharaba, and the borders go on up to the stone of Baeon the son of Ruben.
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 borders continue on to the fourth part of the valley of Achor, and go down to Galgal, which is before the approach of Adammin, which is southward in the valley, and terminate at the water of the fountain of the sun; and their going forth shall be the fountain of 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 borders go up to the valley of Ennom, behind Jebus southward; this is Jerusalem: and the borders terminate at the top of the mountain, which is before the valley of Ennom toward the sea, which is by the side of the land of Raphain 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 [going forth] from the top of the mountain terminates at the fountain of the water of Naphtho, and terminates at mount Ephron; and the border will lead to Baal; this is the city of Jarim.
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 will go round from Baal to the sea, and will go on to the mount of Assar behind the city of Jarin northwards; this is Chaslon: and it will come down to the city of Sun, and will go on to the south.
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 terminates behind Accaron northward, and the borders will terminate at Socchoth, and the borders will go on to the south, and will terminate at Lebna, and the issue of the borders will be at the sea; and their borders [shall be] toward the sea, the great sea shall be the boundary.
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 These [are] the borders of the children of Juda 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 Chaleb the son of Jephone he gave a portion in the midst of the children of Juda by the command of God; and Joshua gave him the city of Arboc the metropolis of Enac; this is Chebron.
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 Chaleb the son of Jephone destroyed thence the three sons of Enac, Susi, and Tholami, and Achima.
Na Kaleb tuu Sesai, Ahiman ne Talmai a wɔyɛ Anak asefoɔ no firii hɔ.
15 And Chaleb went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; and the name of Dabir before was the city of Letters.
Afei, ɔko tiaa nnipa a na wɔte kuro Debir (a kane no na wɔfrɛ no Kiriat-Sefer) no.
16 And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall take and destroy the city of Letters, and master it, to him will I give my daughter Ascha to wife.
Kaleb kaa sɛ, “Obiara a ɔbɛto ahyɛ Kiriat-Sefer so na wafa no, mede me babaa Aksa bɛma no aware.”
17 And Gothoniel the son of Chenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and he gave him Ascha his daughter to wife.
Ɛnna Kaleb nua Kenas babarima Otniel dii so enti, Aksa bɛyɛɛ Otniel yere.
18 And it came to pass as she went out that she counselled him, saying, I will ask of my father a field; and she cried from off her ass; and Chaleb said to her, What is it?
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 to him, Give me a blessing, for you have set me in the land of Nageb; give me Botthanis: and he gave her Gonaethla the upper, and Gonaethla the lower.
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.
20 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Juda.
Yei ne mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Yuda abusuakuo no agyapadeɛ.
21 And their cities were cities belonging to the tribe of the children of Juda on the borders of Edom by the wilderness, and Baeseleel, and Ara, and Asor,
