< Deuteronomy 2 >

1 And we yeden forth fro thennus, and camen in to the wildirnesse that ledith to the Reed See, as the Lord seide to me; and we cumpassiden the hil of Seir in long tyme.
Afei, yɛsane yɛn akyi de yɛn ani kyerɛɛ ɛserɛ so wɔ baabi a Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ no da hɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no. Yɛnantenante faa Seir bepɔ ho nna bebree.
2 And the Lord seide to me, It sufficith to you to cumpasse this hil;
Akyire no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ,
3 go ye ayens the north.
“Moatwa afa saa bepɔ yi ho akyɛre yie enti monnane mo ani nkyerɛ atifi fam.
4 And comaunde thou to the puple, and seie, Ye schulen passe bi the termes of youre britheren, the sones of Esau, that dwellen in Seir, and thei schulen drede you.
Hyɛ ɔman no sɛ, ‘Mobɛfa mo nuanom Edomfoɔ a wɔyɛ Esau asefoɔ a wɔte Seir no asase so. Edomfoɔ no bɛsuro mo, nanso monhwɛ yie.
5 Therfor se ye diligentli, that ye be not moued ayens hem; for Y schal not yyue to you of the land `of hem as myche as the steppe of o foot may trede, for Y yaf the hil of Seir in to the possessioun of Esau.
Monnhyɛ wɔn abufuo a ɛde ɔko bɛba, na meremfa wɔn nsase no mu biara mma mo; mpo, baabi a mode mo nan bɛtia, ɛfiri sɛ, mede Seir bepɔ kuro ama Esau sɛ nʼatenaeɛ.
6 Ye schulden bie of hem metis for money, and ye schulen ete; ye schulden drawe, and drynke watir bouyt.
Aduane biara a mobɛdi ne nsuo biara a mobɛnom no, montua wɔn ho ka.’”
7 Thi Lord God blesside thee in al the werk of thin hondis; he knewe thi weye, hou thou passidist this moste wildirnesse, bi fourti yeer; and thi Lord God dwellide with thee, and no thing failide to thee.
Awurade ahyira mo nsa ano nnwuma nyinaa. Wahwɛ mo so wɔ mo akwantuo wɔ ɛserɛ kakraa yi nyinaa so. Saa mfeɛ aduanan yi nyinaa mu, Awurade aka mo ho na hwee ho anhia mo.
8 And whanne we hadden passid bi oure britheren, the sones of Esau, that dwelliden in Seir, bi the weie of the feeld of Elath, and of Asiongaber, we camen to the weie that ledith in to deseert of Moab.
Yɛtwa faa yɛn nuanom a wɔyɛ Esau asefoɔ a wɔte Seir no ho. Yɛfaa Araba subɔnhwa ɛkwan no a ɛfiri Elat ne Esion-Geber no so na yɛbɛfaa Moab ɛserɛ so ɛkwan no so.
9 And the Lord seide to me, Fiyte thou not ayens Moabitis, nether bigyn thou batel ayens hem, for Y schal not yyue to thee ony thing of the lond `of hem, for Y yaf Ar in to possessioun to `the sones of Loth.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Monnha Moabfoɔ no anaa monnteetee wɔn sɛdeɛ ɛde ɔko bɛba, na meremfa wɔn nsase no mu biara mma mo. Ɛfiri sɛ, mede Ar ama Lot asefoɔ sɛ agyapadeɛ.”
10 Emyn, `that is, griseful men, weren first dwelleris therof, a greet puple, and strong, and so hiy, that thei weren bileued as giantis,
Kane no na Emifoɔ na wɔte hɔ. Na wɔsoso na wɔdɔɔso a wɔwoware te sɛ Anakfoɔ no.
11 of the generacioun of Enachym, and thei weren lijk the sones of Enachym; forsothe Moabitis clepen hem Emyn.
Wɔn nso, na wɔyɛ abrane sɛ Anakfoɔ no ara pɛ, a na wɔfrɛ wɔn Refaimfoɔ, nanso Moabfoɔ deɛ, na wɔfrɛ wɔn Emifoɔ.
12 Forsothe Horreis dwelliden bifore in Seir, and whanne thei weren put out, and weren doon awey, `the sones of Esau dwelliden there, as Israel dide in the lond of his possessioun, which the Lord yaf to hym.
Kane no na Horifoɔ na wɔte Seir, nanso Esau asefoɔ tuu wɔn firii hɔ. Wɔsɛee Horifoɔ no tenaa wɔn ananmu sɛdeɛ Israel yɛɛ wɔ asase a Awurade de maa wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no so no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
13 Therfor we riseden, that we schulden passe the stronde of Zared, and camen to it.
Awurade kaa sɛ, “Afei, sɔre na kɔtwa asuwa Sered no.” Na yɛkɔtwaa asuwa Sered.
14 Sotheli the tyme in whiche we yeden fro Cades Barne `til to the passynge of the stronde of Zared, was of eiyte and thretti yeer, til al the generacioun of `men fiyteris was wastid fro `the castels, as the Lord hadde swore; whos hond was ayens hem,
Na nna dodoɔ a yɛde nante firi Kades-Barnea bɛsii sɛ yɛtwaa asuwa Sered no yɛ mfirinhyia aduasa nwɔtwe. Saa ɛberɛ no, na mmarima a wɔanyinyini yie a wɔbɛtumi akɔ ɔko no nyinaa awuwu wɔ ɛserɛ no so sɛdeɛ Awurade kaeɛ no.
15 that thei schulden perische fro the myddis of `the castels.
Na Awurade nsa tiaa wɔn ara kɔsi sɛ wɔn nyinaa bɛwuwuu wɔ wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ.
16 Forsothe after that alle the fiyteris felden doun,
Akofoɔ no nyinaa wuwu firii nnipa no mu pɛ,
17 the Lord spak to me, and seide,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ,
18 Thou schalt passe to dai the termes of Moab,
“Ɛnnɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wofa Ar kɔsi Moab mantam mu.
19 the cytee, Ar bi name, and thou schalt neiy in the nyy coost of the sones of Amon; be thou war that thou fiyte not ayens hem, nether be moued to batel; for Y schal not yyue to thee of the lond of the sones of Amon, for Y yaf it to the `sones of Loth in to possessioun.
Na sɛ woduru Amonfoɔ mu a, nha wɔn anaa nhyɛ wɔn ahometeɛ a ɛde wɔn bɛkɔ ɔko mu, ɛfiri sɛ, meremma mo Amorifoɔ nsase no bi. Mede ama Lot asefoɔ sɛ agyapadeɛ.”
20 It is arettid the lond of giauntis, and giauntis enhabitiden therynne sumtyme, whiche giauntis Amonytis clepen Zonym;
Saa beaeɛ hɔ na abrane akɛseɛ a na Amonfoɔ frɛ wɔn Samsumin no na wɔte kane no.
21 a myche puple and greet, and of noble lengthe, as Enachym, whiche the Lord dide awey fro the face of hem,
Na wɔyɛ nnipa ahoɔdenfoɔ a wɔdɔɔso na wɔwoware te sɛ Anakfoɔ no. Na Awurade sɛee Samsumifoɔ no wɔ Amonfoɔ anim ma wɔtuu wɔn tenaa wɔn anan mu.
22 and made hem to dwelle for `tho giauntis, as he dide to the sones of Esau, that dwellen in Seire, `and dide awai Horreis, and yaf to hem the lond `of Horreis, which `the sones of Esau welden `til in to present tyme.
Saa ara na Awurade sɛee Horifoɔ wɔ Esau asefoɔ a na wɔte Seir no anim ma wɔtuu wɔn, tenaa wɔn anan mu de bɛsi ɛnnɛ yi.
23 Also men of Capadocie puttiden out Eueys, that dwelliden in Asseryn, `til to Gaza; which yeden out fro Capadocie, and diden awey Eueis, and dwelliden for hem.
Na Awifoɔ nso a wɔtenaa nkuraa nkuraa hwete kɔduruu Gasa no nso, Kaftorfoɔ a wɔfiri Kaftor bɛsɛee wɔn, tenaa wɔn anan mu.
24 Rise ye, and `passe ye the stronde of Arnon; lo! Y haue bitake in `thin hond Seon, king of Esebon, of Amorreis; and his lond bigynne thou `to welde, and smyte thou batel ayens him.
“Sɔre kɔtwa Arnon subonhwa. Mede Hesbonhene Sihon a ɔyɛ Amorini no ne nʼasase ahyɛ wo nsa. Kɔto hyɛ ne so, na monko, na fa nʼasase no.
25 To dai Y schal bigynne to sende thi drede and strengthe in to puplis that dwellen vndir al heuene, that whanne thi name is herd, thei drede, and tremble bi the maner of wymmen trauelynge of child, and `be holdun with sorewe.
Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ yi ara, mede mo ho suro ne hu bɛhyɛ aman a wɔwɔ ɔsoro ase nyinaa mu. Wɔbɛte mo ho nsɛm na wɔn ho bɛpopo na mo enti, wɔanya adwenemhaw.”
26 Therfor Y sente messangeris fro the wildirnesse of Cademoch to Seon, kyng of Esebon; and Y seide with pesible wordis,
Metuu abɔfoɔ firii Kedemot ɛserɛ so kɔɔ Hesbonhene Sihon nkyɛn asomdwoeɛ so kɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ,
27 We schulen passe thorou thi lond, we schulen go in the comyn weie; we schulen not bowe nether to the riyt side, nether to the left side.
“Ma yɛntwam wʼasase so ha. Yɛbɛfa ɛkwan tempɔn mu a yɛremmane mfa benkum anaa nifa so baabiara.
28 Sille thow metis `to vs for prijs, that we ete; yif thow watir for money, and so we schulen drynke. Oneli it is that thou graunte passage to vs,
Tɔn aduane ma yɛnni na tɔn nsuo nso ma yɛnnom. Deɛ yɛrehwehwɛ ara ne ɛkwan a wobɛma yɛn ama yɛatwam wɔ wʼasase so,
29 as the sones of Esau diden, that dwellen in Seir, and as Moabitis diden, that dwellen in Ar, til we comen to Jordan, and passen to the lond which oure Lord God schal yyue to vs.
sɛdeɛ Esau asefoɔ a na wɔte Seir ne Moabfoɔ a na wɔte Ar yɛɛ yɛn no. Ma yɛntwam nkɔsi sɛ yɛbɛtwam Yordan akɔsi asase a Awurade de ama yɛn no so.”
30 And Seon, kyng of Esebon, nolde yyue passage `to vs; for thi Lord God made hard his spirit, and made sad in yuel `the herte of hym, that he schulde be bitakun in to thin hondis, as thou seest now.
Nanso, Hesbonhene Sihon amma yɛamfa nʼasase so antwam. Ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade yɛɛ ne honhom sisirii, pirim nʼakoma sɛdeɛ ɔnam so de no bɛhyɛ wo nsam nam so adi wɔn so nkonim sɛdeɛ wayɛ no ɛnnɛ yi.
31 And the Lord seide to me, Lo, Y bigan to bitake to thee Seon, and his lond; bigynne thou to welde it.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Mafiti aseɛ de Sihon ne ne ɔman ahyɛ wo nsam. Afei, fiti aseɛ na di wɔn so, na fa nʼasase no.”
32 And Seon yede out ayens vs with al his puple to batel in Jasa.
Ɛberɛ a Sihon ne ne dɔm bɛhyiaa yɛn ɔko so wɔ Yahas no,
33 And oure Lord God bitook hym to vs, and we han smyte hym with hise sones, and al his puple.
Awurade de no maa yɛn ma yɛdii ɔno, ne ne manfoɔ nyinaa so.
34 And we token in that tyme alle the citees, whanne the dwelleris of tho citees, men, and wymmen, and children weren slayn; we leften not in hem ony thing,
Na yɛfaa ne nkuro nyinaa saa ɛberɛ no sɛee ne mmarima, mmaa ne mmɔfra a wɔwɔ kuropɔn biara mu a yɛannya obiara,
35 outakun beestis that camen in to the part of men takynge prey, and outakun spuylis of the cytees whiche we tokun.
gye afieboa nko na yɛfomm wɔn faeɛ, ɛnna nkuro a yɛfaeɛ no mu asadeɛ.
36 Fro Aroer, which is on the brenke of the stronde of Arnon, fro the toun which is set in the valey, `til to Galaad, no town was ether citee, that ascapide oure hondis.
Ɛfiri Aroer a ɛda Arnon subɔnhwa ano ne kuro a ɛda subɔnhwa no mu no so de kɔsi Gilead no, kuro biara nni hɔ a na ɛsodie yɛ den ma yɛn; Awurade de ne nyinaa hyɛɛ yɛn nsa.
37 Oure Lord God bitook alle to vs; outakun the lond of the sones of Amon, to which lond we neiyiden not, and outakun alle thingis that liggen to the stronde of Jeboth, and outakun the citees of the munteyns, and alle places fro whiche oure Lord God forbeed vs.
Nanso, yɛammɛn Amorifoɔ a na wɔwɔ Asubɔnten Yabok ho ne mmepɔ no so nkuro no baabiara a Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnnkɔ no.
