< Joshua 18 >
1 And all the company of the sons of Israel are assembled [at] Shiloh, and they cause the tent of meeting to tabernacle there, and the land hath been subdued before them.
Afei a asase no abɛdi Israelfoɔ nsam no, Israelfoɔ nyinaa boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Silo na wɔsii hyiadan.
2 And there are left among the sons of Israel who have not shared their inheritance, seven tribes,
Nanso, na aka mmusuakuo nson a wɔmfaa wɔn kyɛfa no mmaa wɔn.
3 and Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, 'Till when are ye remiss to go in to possess the land which He hath given to you, Jehovah, God of your fathers?
Enti, Yosua bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Moretwɛn akɔsi da bɛn ansa na moafa asase no nkaeɛ a Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn de ama mo no?
4 Give for you three men for a tribe, and I send them, and they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it according to their inheritance, and come in unto me,
Monyi nnipa baasa mfiri abusuakuo biara mu na mɛsoma wɔn ama wɔakɔsra baabi a wɔnnii hɔ soɔ no. Wɔsane ba a, wɔbɛtwerɛ deɛ wɔhunuiɛ agu krataa so akyerɛ me sɛdeɛ wɔbɛkyekyɛ agyapadeɛ no.
5 and they have divided it into seven portions — Judah doth stay by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph do stay by their border on the north —
Akwansrafoɔ no bɛkyekyɛ asase no mu nson, na wɔremfa Yuda asase a ɛda anafoɔ fam ne Yosef asase a ɛwɔ atifi fam no nka ho.
6 and ye describe the land [in] seven portions, and have brought [it] in unto me hither, and I have cast for you a lot here before Jehovah our God;
Afei, mɛbɔ ntonto a ɛho te wɔ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn anim, apɛ baabi a wɔde bɛma abusuakuo biara.
7 for there is no portion to the Levites in your midst, for the priesthood of Jehovah [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and Reuben, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh received their inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses servant of Jehovah gave to them.'
Nanso, Lewifoɔ no rennya asase biara. Wɔn dwumadie sɛ Awurade asɔfoɔ no bɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ. Na Gad ne Ruben mmusuakuo ne Manase abusuakuo fa no nso renya asase no bi bio, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔanya wɔn agyapadeɛ a Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ de maa wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam no dada.”
8 And the men rise and go; and Joshua commandeth those who are going to describe the land, saying, 'Go, and walk up and down through the land, and describe it, and turn back unto me, and here I cast for you a lot before Jehovah in Shiloh.'
Mmarima a wɔrekɔsusu asase no rebɛkɔ no, Yosua hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔkyekyɛ asase no, na monsane mfa deɛ mohunuiɛ ho nsɛm a moatwerɛ agu krataa so mmrɛ me, na menam ntontobɔ kronkron a wɔbɛbɔ no Awurade anim wɔ Silo no so de asase no bɛma mmusuakuo no.”
9 And the men go, and pass over through the land, and describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a book, and they come in unto Joshua, unto the camp, [at] Shiloh.
Mmarima no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ wɔhyɛɛ wɔn no, kyekyɛɛ asase no nyinaa mu nson, twerɛɛ nkuro a ɛwɔ asase no nkyekyɛmu biara so. Wɔsane kɔɔ Yosua nkyɛn wɔ Silo atenaeɛ hɔ.
10 And Joshua casteth for them a lot in Shiloh before Jehovah, and there Joshua apportioneth the land to the sons of Israel, according to their divisions.
Silo hɔ na Yosua bɔɔ ntonto kronkron wɔ Awurade anim de pɛɛ asaseta a ɛsɛ sɛ abusuakuo biara fa.
11 And a lot goeth up [for] the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goeth out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.
Asase no nkyekyɛmu a ɛdi ɛkan no kɔɔ mmusua a ɛwɔ Benyamin abusuakuo no nsam. Na ɛda nsase a wɔde maa Yuda ne Yosef mmusuakuo no.
12 And the border is to them at the north side from the Jordan, and the border hath gone up unto the side of Jericho on the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and its outgoings have been at the wilderness of Beth-Aven;
Atifi fam ɛhyeɛ no firi Asubɔnten Yordan kɔ Yeriko nsianeɛ no atifi, na afei, afa bepɔ mantam ne Bet-Awen ɛserɛ so akɔ atɔeɛ fam.
13 and the border hath gone over thence to Luz, unto the side of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border hath gone down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of the lower Beth-Horon;
Ɛhyeɛ no firi hɔ kɔ Lus (a ɛyɛ Bet-El) wɔ anafoɔ fam, na ɛtoa so kɔ Atarot-Adar ne bepɔ atifi a ɛwɔ Bet-Horon Anafoɔ wɔ anafoɔ fam.
14 and the border hath been marked out, and hath gone round to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which [is] at the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been unto Kirjath-Baal (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah: this [is] the west quarter.
Afei ɛhyeɛ no fa anafoɔ fam, nam bepɔ a anim hwɛ Bet-Horon wɔ atɔeɛ fam no ntentenesoɔ, kɔsi Kiriat-Baal akuraa (a ɛyɛ Kiriat-Yearim), Yuda abusuakuo no nkuro no mu baako. Yei ne atɔeɛ fam ɛhyeɛ.
15 And the south quarter [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim, and the border hath gone out westward, and gone out unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah;
Anafoɔ fam ɛhyeɛ no, firi Kiriat-Yearim mfikyire. Ɛfiri hɔ fa atɔeɛ fam kɔ Neftoa nsuwansuwa asutire ho,
16 and the border hath come down unto the extremity of the hill which [is] on the front of the valley of the son of Hinnom, which [is] in the valley of the Rephaim northward, and hath gone down the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi southward, and gone down [to] En-Rogel,
na ɛsiane akɔ bepɔ a ɛwɔ Hinom bɔnhwa a ɛwɔ Refaim bɔnhwa no atifi fam no ase. Ɛtoa so kɔ Hinom wɔ anafoɔ fam, na atwam wɔ nsianeɛ a na Yebusifoɔ teɛ no anafoɔ fam na akɔduru En-Rogel.
17 and hath been marked out on the north, and gone out to En-Shemesh, and gone out unto Geliloth, which [is] over-against the ascent of Adummim, and gone down [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben,
Ɛhyeɛ no firi En-Rogel a ɛkɔ atifi fam, kɔsi En-Semes na atoa so akɔpem Gelilot a ɛne Adumim di nhwɛanimu na afei ɛsiane akɔ Bohan boɔ ho (Na Bohan yɛ Ruben babarima).
18 and passed over unto the side over-against Arabah northward, and gone down to Arabah;
Ɛtoa so fa nsianeɛ a ɛhwɛ Yordan Bɔnhwa no atifi fam. Afei ɛhyeɛ no kɔ bɔnhwa no mu,
19 and the border hath passed over unto the side of Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have been unto the north bay of the salt sea, unto the south extremity of the Jordan; this [is] the south border;
ɛkɔfa Bet-Hogla nsianeɛ no atifi fam na akɔpem Nkyene Ɛpo no atifi faka ano a ɛyɛ Asubɔnten Yordan anafoɔ fam abɔeɛ.
20 and the Jordan doth border it at the east quarter; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders round about, for their families.
Apueeɛ fam ɛhyeɛ no yɛ Asubɔnten Yordan. Yei ne agyapadeɛ a wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Benyamin abusuakuo no.
21 And the cities for the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, for their families, have been Jericho, and Beth-Hoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
Nkuro a wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Benyamin abusuakuo na ɛdidi soɔ yi: Yeriko, Bet-Hogla ne Emek-Kesis,
22 and Beth-Arabah, Zemaraim, and Beth-El,

23 and Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
Awim, Para ne Ofra,
24 and Chephar-Haammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities and their villages.

27 and Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
Rekem, Yirpeel ne Tarala,
28 and Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi (it [is] Jerusalem), Gibeath, Kirjath: fourteen cities and their villages. This [is] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, for their families.
