Numbers 21
1 And he heard the Canaanite [the] king of Arad [who] dwelt the Negev that it had come Israel [the] way of the Atharim and he engaged in battle against Israel and he took captive - some of it captive[s].
Arad ɔhene a ɔyɛ Kanaanni a ɔte Negeb tee sɛ Israelfoɔ nam Atarim ɛkwan so reba. Ɔboaboaa nʼakodɔm ano kɔto hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ no so kyekyeree binom sɛ nneduafoɔ.
2 And it vowed Israel a vow to Yahweh and it said certainly [if] you will give the people this in hand my and I will totally destroy cities their.
Afei, Israelfoɔ no kaa ntam kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ, sɛ ɔbɛboa wɔn ama wɔadi Arad ɔhene ne de dɔm so a, anka wɔbɛgu nkuro akɛseɛ a ɛwɔ hɔ nyinaa.
3 And he listened Yahweh to [the] voice of Israel and he delivered up the Canaanite[s] and it totally destroyed them and cities their and someone called [the] name of the place Hormah.
Awurade tiee wɔn abisadeɛ no, enti ɔmaa wɔdii Kanaanfoɔ no so; Israelfoɔ no sɛee wɔn ne wɔn nkuro akɛseɛ pasaa. Wɔtoo hɔ edin Horma a aseɛ ne “Ɔsɛeɛ.”
4 And they set out from Hor the mountain [the] direction of [the] sea of reed[s] to go around [the] land of Edom and it became short [the] self of the people on the way.
Afei, Israelfoɔ no sane kɔɔ Bepɔ Hor so. Wɔfiri hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ anafoɔ fam ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no so no so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛtumi atwa kanko afa Edom ho. Nnipa no aba mu buiɛ.
5 And it spoke the people against God and against Moses why? have you brought up us from Egypt to die in the wilderness for there not [is] food and there not [is] water and self our it loathes the food worthless.
Wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ nwiinwii tiaa Onyankopɔn enti wɔkaa wɔn ahiasɛm kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woayi yɛn afiri Misraim de yɛn aba sɛ yɛmmɛwuwu ɛserɛ yi so? Aduane a yɛbɛdie nni ha. Nsuo a yɛbɛnom nso nni ha. Mana yi nso deɛ, afono yɛn.”
6 And he sent Yahweh among the people the snakes the saraphs and they bit the people and it died a people numerous from Israel.
Enti, Awurade maa awɔ a wɔn ano wɔ borɔ yie kɔkekaa wɔn mu bebree ma wɔwuwuiɛ.
7 And it came the people to Moses and they said we have sinned for we have spoken against Yahweh and against you pray to Yahweh so may he remove from on us the snake[s] and he prayed Moses for the people.
Afei, nnipa no baa Mose nkyɛn bɛsrɛɛ sɛ, “Yɛayɛ bɔne, ɛfiri sɛ, yɛakasa atia Awurade ne wo. Bɔ mpaeɛ kyerɛ Awurade na awɔ no nkɔ.” Mose bɔɔ mpaeɛ maa nnipa no.
8 And he said Yahweh to Moses make for yourself a saraph and put it on a standard and it will be every [one who] is bitten and he will see it and he will live.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Fa kɔbere yɛ saa awɔ yi mu baako sɛso na fa no sɛn poma bi so, na sɛ awɔ no bi ka obi na onii no hwɛ no kɛkɛ a, ɔrenwu.”
9 And he made Moses a snake of bronze and he put it on the standard and it was if it had bitten the snake anyone and he looked to [the] snake of bronze and he lived.
Enti, Mose yɛɛ ɔwɔ sɛso no; na obiara a ɔwɔ no bi bɛka no no, sɛ ɔpagya nʼani hwɛ no a, ɔnwu.
10 And they set out [the] people of Israel and they encamped in Oboth.
Israelfoɔ no firi hɔ no, wɔtoaa wɔn akwantuo no so kɔɔ Obot kɔtenaa hɔ.
11 And they set out from Oboth and they encamped at Iye Abarim in the wilderness which [is] on [the] face of Moab from [the] rising of the sun.
Afei, wɔtoaa so kɔɔ Iye-Abarim wɔ ɛserɛ so wɔ Moab apueeɛ fam.
12 From there they set out and they encamped in [the] wadi of Zered.
Wɔfiri hɔ no, wɔtoaa so kɔɔ asuwa Sered Subɔnhwa mu kɔbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ hɔ.
13 From there they set out and they encamped from [the] other side of Arnon which [is] in the wilderness which goes out from [the] border of the Amorite[s] that Arnon [is] [the] border of Moab between Moab and between the Amorite[s].
Afei, wɔtu kɔɔ akyirikyiri fam wɔ Asubɔnten Arnon nkyɛn hɔ baabi a wɔne Amorifoɔ bɔ hyeɛ. Asubɔnten Arnon na ɛyɛ ɛhyeɛ a ɛda Moabfoɔ ne Amorifoɔ ntam.
14 There-fore it is said in [the] book of [the] wars of Yahweh Waheb in Suphah and the wadis Arnon.
Enti, wɔkaa saa asɛm yi wɔ Awurade akodie nwoma no mu sɛ, asubɔnten Arnon subɔnhwa ne kuro Waheb
15 And [the] slope of the wadis which it extends to [the] dwelling of Ar and it leans to [the] border of Moab.
da Amorifoɔ ne Moabfoɔ ntam.
16 And from there Beer towards that [is] the well which he said Yahweh to Moses gather the people so let me give to them water.
Afei, Israelfoɔ no toaa wɔn akwantuo no so kɔɔ Beer a aseɛ ne “Abura.” Ɛha na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Frɛfrɛ nnipa no nyinaa bra na mɛma wɔn nsuo.”
17 Then it sang Israel the song this spring up O well sing of it.
Ɛhɔ na Israelfoɔ too dwom sɛ, “Tue Ao, Abura! To ho dwom!
18 A well [which] they dug it [the] leaders [which] they dug it [the] noble [people] of the people with a ruler's staff with staffs their and from [the] wilderness Mattanah.
To abura yi ho dwom, mmapɔmma na wɔtuiɛ; na akunini titii mu wɔde wɔn ahempoma ne wɔn poma.” Afei, Israelfoɔ no firii ɛserɛ no so kɔfaa Matana,
19 And from Mattanah Nahaliel and from Nahaliel Bamoth.
Nahaliel ne Bamot.
20 And from Bamoth the valley which [is] in [the] region of Moab [the] top of Pisgah and it looked down over [the] face of the desolate place.
Afei wɔkɔɔ Pisga atifi a ɛwɔ Moab bɔnhwa no mu, baabi a wogyina a wohunu asase tamaa no.
21 And it sent Israel messengers to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] saying.
Afei, Israelfoɔ tuu abɔfoɔ ma wɔde nkra yi kɔmaa Amorifoɔhene Sihon sɛ:
22 Let me pass in land your not we will turn aside in a field and in a vineyard not we will drink water of a well on [the] way of the king we will go until that we will pass through territory your.
“Momma yɛntwa mu mfa mo ɔman yi mu. Yɛbɛfa ɛkwan tempɔn so, na yɛremfiri so kɔsi sɛ yɛbɛtra mo hyeɛ. Yɛrentiatia mo mfudeɛ so, yɛremfa yɛn nsa nka mo bobe nturo, na yɛrennom mo abura mu nsuo.”
23 And not he permitted Sihon Israel to pass in territory his and he gathered Sihon all people his and he went out to meet Israel the wilderness towards and he came Jahaz towards and he engaged in battle against Israel.
Nanso ɔhene Sihon ampene so. Na mmom, ɔboaboaa nʼakodɔm ano kɔto hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ so wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ ne wɔn koo wɔ Yahas.
24 And it struck him Israel to [the] mouth of [the] sword and it took possession of land his from Arnon to Jabbok to [the] descendants of Ammon for [was] strong [the] border of [the] descendants of Ammon.
Nanso Israelfoɔ no kunkumm wɔn faa wɔn asase a ɛfiri Asubɔnten Arnon kɔsi asuo Yabok ho toaa so kɔsii Amorifoɔ ahyeɛ so, nanso wɔkɔhyiaa Amon mma ahoɔdenfoɔ bi a wɔakyere sraban enti wɔantumi anko ankɔ wɔn anim bio.
25 And it took Israel all the cities these and it dwelt Israel in all [the] cities of the Amorite[s] in Heshbon and in all daughters its.
Enti Israelfoɔ no faa Amorifoɔ no nkuro akɛseɛ nyinaa a Hesbon kuropɔn ne ne nkuraase nyinaa ka ho tenaa mu.
26 For Heshbon [was] [the] city of Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] it and he he had waged war against [the] king of Moab former and he had taken all land his from hand his to Arnon.
Na Hesbon yɛ Amorifoɔhene Sihon Kuropɔn. Sihon na ɛda bi ɔko tiaa Moabhene faa ne nsase nyinaa bɛsii Asubɔnten Arnon no.
27 There-fore they say those [who] speak proverbs come Heshbon let it be rebuilt and it may be established [the] city of Sihon.
Ne sei enti tete, anwensɛm twerɛfoɔ twerɛɛ yei faa ne ho sɛ, “Bra Hesbon, Sihon kuropɔn, yɛnkyekyere na ɛnsi ne dada mu.
28 For fire it went out from Heshbon flame from [the] town of Sihon it consumed Ar of Moab [the] citizens of [the] high places of Arnon.
“Egya turi firii Hesbon Ogyaframa firii Sihon ahenkuro mu, Ɛhyee Ar kuropɔn a ɛwɔ Moab; ɛsɛee sodifoɔ a wɔwɔ Arnon mmepɔ so.
29 Woe! to you O Moab you have perished O people of Chemosh he has made sons his fugitives and daughters his in captivity of [the] king of [the] Amorite[s] Sihon.
Ao Moabfoɔ, mosɛeɛ bɛba mu! Wɔawie mo, mo a mosom Kemos! Kemos agya ne mmammarima sɛ atutenafoɔ, Ne ne mmammaa sɛ Amorifoɔhene Sihon nnommumfoɔ.
30 And we shot at them it has perished Heshbon to Dibon and we have devastated to Nophah which [is] to Medeba.
“Yɛasɛe wɔn pasaa, ɛfiri Hesbon tɔnn kɔsi Dibon. Yɛasɛe wɔn ara akɔsi Nofa De kɔ ara kɔsi Medeba.”
31 And it dwelt Israel in [the] land of the Amorite[s].
Enti Israelfoɔ no tenaa Amorifoɔ asase so.
32 And he sent Moses to spy out Jazer and they captured daughters its (and it dispossessed *Q(K)*) the Amorite[s] who [was] there.
Mose somaa akwansrafoɔ sɛ wɔnkɔsrasra Yaser fa mu hɔ. Ɔde asraafoɔ toaa wɔn, faa wɔn nkuro nyinaa, pamoo Amorifoɔ no.
33 And they turned and they went up [the] direction of Bashan and he went out Og [the] king of Bashan to meet them he and all people his for battle Edrei.
Afei, wɔde wɔn ani kyerɛɛ kuro kɛseɛ Basan, nanso Basanhene Og de nʼasraafoɔ hyiaa wɔn wɔ Edrei.
34 And he said Yahweh to Moses may not you fear him for in hand your I have given him and all people his and land his and you will do to him just as you did to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] who [was] dwelling in Heshbon.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔnnsuro na wadi atamfoɔ no so dada. Awurade sane hyɛɛ Mose nkuran sɛ asɛm a ɛtoo ɔhene Sihon wɔ Hesbon no, saa asɛm korɔ no ara bi na ɛbɛto no.
35 And they struck down him and sons his and all people his until not he had left to him a survivor and they took possession of land his.
Ampa ara, Israelfoɔ dii nkonim na wɔkumm ɔhene Og ne ne mmammarima ne ne nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa a anka wɔn mu baako mpo. Enti Israelfoɔ no tenaa asase no so.
