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 mmusuakuw no wɔ nyɛmmoa pii, enti wuhuu sɛ Yaser ne Gilead nsase no beye ama wɔn nguan ne anantwi no.
2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,
Enti wɔkɔɔ Mose ne ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne nnipa no ntuanofo no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Atarot, Dibon, Yaser, Nimra, Hesbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo ne Beon yɛ
4 Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
nsase a Awurade ako, agye ama Israelfo na eye ma yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi.
5 Therefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
Sɛ yɛanya adom wɔ mo anim a, yɛsrɛ mo momfa saa asase yi mma yɛn sɛ yɛn kyɛfa na munnyae Asubɔnten Yordan agya nohɔ a mopɛ sɛ mode ma yɛn no.”
6 And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
Mose nso bisaa Rubenfo ne Gadfo no se, “Mokyerɛ sɛ, mopɛ sɛ motena ha bere a mo nuanom atwa mu rekɔko?
7 And why discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
Adɛn nti na mopɛ sɛ mubu Israelfo no aba mu ma wɔsan sɛ wɔrenkɔ asase a Awurade de ama wɔn no so no?
8 Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
Ade koro yi ara na mo agyanom yɛe. Mesomaa wɔn fii Kades-Barnea sɛ wɔnkɔsra asase no.
9 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
Wowiee nsra no na wofi Eskol subon mu bae no, wobuu nnipa no aba mu sɛ wɔnnkɔ asase a Awurade de ama wɔn no so.
10 And the LORD’S anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,
Da no Awurade abufuw sɔree na ɔkaa saa ntam yi:
11 Surely none of the men that came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
‘Esiane sɛ wɔamfi wɔn koma nyinaa mu anni mʼakyi nti wɔn mu biara nni hɔ a bere a wɔrefi Misraim no a na wadi mfe aduonu anaa nea ɛboro saa a no behu asase a mehyɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ho bɔ no,
12 Except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ, gye Kenesini Yefune babarima Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua, efisɛ wɔde wɔn koma 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 in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
Awurade maa yekyinkyin sare no so hɔ mfirihyia aduanan kosii sɛ saa awo ntoatoaso amumɔyɛfo no nyinaa wuwui.
14 And, behold, ye have risen up in your fathers’ stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
“Nanso monhwɛ, abɔnefo, moregyina mo agyanom anan mu ama Awurade bo afuw Israel nea ɛkyɛn so.
15 For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and he shall destroy all this people.
Sɛ mosan fi nʼakyi a, ɔbɛsan agyaw ne nnipa no nyinaa wɔ sare so hɔ na wɔn sɛe no befi mo.”
16 And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
Wɔteɛɛ mu se, “Ɛnte saa koraa! Yɛbɛyɛ yɛn nguannan na yɛakyekyere nkurow akɛse ama yɛn mmea ne mmofra.
17 But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
Na yɛn ankasa de akode bɛhyehyɛ yɛn ho adi Israelfo a wɔaka no anim akosi sɛ yɛde wɔn bɛba asomdwoe mu ama wɔabɛfa wɔn agyapade. Na nea edi kan no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkyekye nkurow a yebegye afasu afa ho ama yɛn nkurɔfo atena mu na ɛhɔfo no ankɔtow anhyɛ wɔn so.
18 We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Sɛ Israelfo no nyinaa nsa nkaa wɔn agyapade no a, yɛrensan mma yɛn afi mu.
19 For we will not inherit with them on the other side of Jordan, or beyond; because our inheritance hath fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.
Yɛne wɔn renkyɛ Yordan agya hɔ asase biara, efisɛ yɛanya yɛn agyapade no wɔ Yordan apuei fam hɔ.”
20 And Moses said to them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
Mose kae se, “Sɛ mobɛyɛ sɛnea moaka no, sɛ mobɛhyehyɛ mo ho wɔ Awurade anim ama ɔko,
21 And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
na mode mo asraafo no atwa Yordan kosi sɛ Awurade bɛpam nʼatamfo no,
22 And the land shall be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
na sɛ asase no ho asɛm dwo brɛoo wɔ Awurade anim a, ɛno de mutumi san ba. Ɛba saa a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, moayɛ mo asɛde ama Awurade ne Israelfo nyinaa. Na asase a ɛda apuei no nso, Awurade de bɛma mo.
23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
“Sɛ moanni asɛm a moaka no so a, na moayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, munhu sɛ, ɛho asotwe bɛba mo so.
24 Build for yourselves cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
Monkɔ so nkyekyere nkurow mma mo fifo na monyɛ nguannan mma mo nguan na munni asɛm a mokae no nyinaa so.”
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
Ruben ne Gad nkurɔfo no kae se, “Yebedi wʼahyɛde 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 nguan ne yɛn anantwi bɛtena Gilead nkuropɔn mu.
27 But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
Nanso yɛn a wɔakyere yɛn sɛ asraafo no bɛko ama Awurade sɛnea woaka no.”
28 So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
Enti Mose penee so ka kyerɛɛ Eleasar, Yosua ne mpanyimfo a wotuatua Israel mmusuakuw ano no se,
29 And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed for 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 abusuakuw mu mmarima nyinaa a wɔakyere wɔn ayɛ wɔn asraafo 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, ɛno de, 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 to thy servants, so will we do.
Gad ne Ruben abusuafo kaa bio se, “Wo nkoa bedi Awurade asɛm so;
32 We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.
yɛde akode bɛhyehyɛ yɛn ho adi Awurade akyi akɔ Kanaan, nanso yɛn ara yɛn asase bɛda Yordan fa ha.”
33 And Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the 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, with its cities within the borders, even the cities of the surrounding country.
Enti Mose ma wɔde Amorihene Sihon ne Basanhene Og nsasetam ne wɔn nkurow akɛse maa Gad, Ruben ne Yosef babarima Manase mmusuakuw.
34 And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Gad nkurɔfo na wɔkyekyeree saa nkurow yi: Dibon, Atarot, Aroer.
35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
Atrot-Sofan, Yaser Yogbeha,
36 And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fortified cities: and folds for sheep.
Bet-Nimra ne Betharan. Na ɛyɛ nkurow a nguan wɔ mu yiye.
37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
Ruben mmabarima na wɔkyekyeree saa nkurow a edidi so yi: Hesbon, Eleale ne Kiriataim,
38 And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed, ) and Shibmah: and gave other names to the cities which they built.
Nebo, Baal-Meon a akyiri no wɔsesaa wɔn din, ne Sibma. Wɔtotoo nkurow a wɔsan kyekyee no din.
39 And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite who was in it.
Makir asefo a wofi Manase abusuakuw mu kɔɔ Gilead kɔko dii hɔ so pam Amorifo a saa bere no na wɔte hɔ no nyinaa.
40 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt in it.
Enti Mose de Gilead maa Makirfo a wɔyɛ Manase asefo no, ma wɔtenaa hɔ.
41 And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns, and called them Havothjair.
Manase abusuakuw mu nnipa foforo bi a wofi Yair nso tenatenaa Gilead nkurow bebree so, sesaa beae a wɔwɔ hɔ no din frɛɛ hɔ Hafrotyair.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Ɔbarima bi a ne din de Noba dii asraafo bi anim de wɔn kɔɔ Kenat ne ne nkuraase kɔbɔɔ wɔn atenae wɔ hɔ enti ɔde ne din Noba too saa beae hɔ.
