5 Mose 2

1 Afei, yɛsan yɛn akyi de yɛn ani kyerɛɛ sare so wɔ baabi a Po Kɔkɔɔ no da hɔ sɛnea Awurade kyerɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no. Yɛnantenantew faa Seir bepɔw man no ho nna bebree.

Then we turned, and tooke our iourney into the wildernes, by the way of the red Sea, as the Lord spake vnto me: and we compassed mount Seir a long time.

2 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se,

And the Lord spake vnto me, saying,

3 “Moatwa afa saa ɔman a ɛda bepɔw yi so no ho mmere sann, enti monnan mo ani nkyerɛ atifi fam.

Ye haue compassed this mountaine long ynough: turne you Northward.

4 Hyɛ ɔman no se, ‘Morebɛfa mo nuanom Edomfo, a wɔyɛ Esau asefo a wɔte Seir no asase so. Edomfo no besuro mo, nanso monhwɛ yiye.

And warne thou the people, saying, Ye shall go through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, and they shall be afraide of you: take ye good heede therefore.

5 Monnhyɛ wɔn abufuw a ɛde ɔko bɛba na meremfa wɔn nsase no mu biara mma mo; mpo, baabi a mode mo anan besisi, efisɛ mede Seir bepɔw kurow ama Esau sɛ nʼatenae.

Ye shall not prouoke them: for I wil not giue you of their land so much as a foot breadth, because I haue giuen mount Seir vnto Esau for a possession.

6 Aduan biara a mubedi ne nsu biara a mobɛnom no, momfa dwetɛ ntua wɔn ho ka.’”

Ye shall buy meate of them for money to eate, and ye shall also procure water of them for money to drinke.

7 Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyira mo nsa ano nnwuma nyinaa. Wahwɛ mo so wɔ mo akwantu wɔ sare kakraa yi nyinaa so. Saa mfe aduanan yi nyinaa mu no, Awurade aka mo ho na hwee ho anhia mo.

For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the workes of thine hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wildernes, and the Lord thy God hath bene with thee this fourtie yeere, and thou hast lacked nothing.

8 Yetwa faa yɛn nuanom a wɔyɛ Esau asefo a wɔte Seir ho no. Yɛfaa Araba subon kwan no a efi Elat ne Esion-Geber no so na yɛbɛfaa Moab sare so kwan no so.

And when we were departed from our brethren the children of Esau which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plaine, from Elath, and from Ezion-gaber, we turned and went by the way of the wildernes of Moab.

9 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Monnhaw Moabfo no anaa monhyɛ wɔn abufuw a ɛde ɔko bɛba, na meremfa wɔn nsase no mu biara mma mo. Efisɛ mede Ar ama Lot asefo sɛ agyapade.”

Then the Lord sayd vnto me, Thou shalt not vexe Moab, neither prouoke them to battel: for I wil not giue thee of their land for a possession, because I haue giuen Ar vnto the children of Lot for a possession.

10 Kan no na Emifo na wɔte hɔ. Na wɔsoso na wɔdɔɔso a wɔwoware te sɛ Anakfo no.

The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great and many, and tall, as the Anakims.

11 Wɔn nso, na wɔyɛ abran sɛ Anakfo no ara pɛ, a na wɔfrɛ wɔn Refaitefo, nanso Moabfo de, na wɔfrɛ wɔn Emifo.

They also were taken for gyants as the Anakims: whom the Moabites call Emims.

12 Kan no na Horifo na wɔte Seir, nanso Esau asefo no tuu wɔn fii hɔ. Wɔsɛee Horifo no tenaa wɔn anan mu sɛnea Israel yɛɛ wɔ asase a Awurade de maa wɔn sɛ wɔn agyapade no so no pɛpɛɛpɛ.

The Horims also dwelt in Seir before time, whome the children of Esau chased out and destroyed them before them, and dwelt in their steade: as Israel shall doe vnto the land of his possession, which the Lord hath giuen them.

13 Na Awurade kae se, “Afei, sɔre na kotwa Sered bon no.” Enti yekotwaa obon no.

Now rise vp, sayd I, and get you ouer the riuer Zered: and we went ouer the riuer Zered.

14 Na nna dodow a yɛde nantew fi Kades-Barnea besii sɛ yetwaa Sered bon no yɛ mfirihyia aduasa awotwe. Saa bere no, na mmarima a wɔanyinyin yiye a wobetumi akɔ ɔko no nyinaa awuwu wɔ sare no so sɛnea Awurade kaa ho ntam no.

The space also wherein we came from Kadesh-barnea, vntill we were come ouer the riuer Zered, was eight and thirtie yeeres, vntill all the generation of the men of warre were wasted out from among the hoste, as the Lord sware vnto them.

15 Na Awurade nsa tiaa wɔn ara kosi sɛ wɔn nyinaa wuwuu wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ.

For in deede the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from among the hoste, till they were consumed.

16 Saa nnipa yi mu akofo a otwa to wuu no pɛ,

So when all the men of warre were consumed and dead from among the people:

17 na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se,

Then the Lord spake vnto me, saying,

18 “Nnɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wofa Ar wɔ Moab mantam mu.

Thou shalt goe through Ar the coast of Moab this day:

19 Na sɛ wudu Amonfo mu a, nhaw wɔn anaa nhyɛ wɔn abufuw a ɛde ɔko bɛba, efisɛ meremma mo Amorifo nsase no bi. Mede ama Lot asefo sɛ agyapade.”

And thou shalt come neere ouer against the children of Ammon: but shalt not lay siege vnto them, nor moue warre against them: for I will not giue thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession: for I haue giuen it vnto the children of Lot for a possession.

20 Saa beae hɔ na abran akɛse a na Amonfo frɛ wɔn Samsumifo no te kan no.

That also was taken for a land of gyants: for gyants dwelt therein afore time, whome the Ammonites called Zamzummims:

21 Na wɔyɛ nnipa ahoɔdenfo a wɔdɔɔso na wɔwoware te sɛ Anakfo no. Na Awurade sɛee Samsumifo no wɔ Amonfo anim ma wɔpam wɔn tenaa wɔn anan mu.

A people that was great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims: but the Lord destroyed them before them, and they succeeded them in their inheritance, and dwelt in their stead:

22 Saa ara na Awurade sɛee Horifo wɔ Esau asefo a na wɔte Seir no anim ma wɔpam wɔn, tenaa wɔn anan mu de besi nnɛ yi.

As he did to the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims before them, and they possessed them, and dwelt in their stead vnto this day.

23 Na Awifo a wɔtenaa nkuraa nkuraa trɛw koduu Gasa no nso, Kaftorfo a wofi Kaftor bɛsɛee wɔn, tenaa wɔn anan mu.

And the Auims which dwelt in Hazarim euen vnto Azzah, the Caphtorims which came out of Caphtor destroyed them, and dwelt in their steade.

24 “Sɔre kotwa Arnon Subon. Mede Hesbonhene Sihon a ɔyɛ Amorini no ne man ahyɛ wo nsa. Kɔtow hyɛ ne so, na monko, na fa.

Rise vp therefore, sayd the Lord: take your iourney, and passe ouer the riuer Arnon: beholde, I haue giuen into thy hand Sihon, the Amorite, King of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possesse it and prouoke him to battell.

25 Efi nnɛ 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 nti, wɔanya adwenemhaw esiane mo nti.”

This day wil I begin to send thy feare and thy dread, vpon all people vnder the whole heauen, which shall heare thy fame, and shall tremble and quake before thee.

26 Mituu abɔfo fii Kedemot sare so kɔɔ Hesbonhene Sihon nkyɛn asomdwoe so kɔka kyerɛɛ no se,

Then I sent messengers out of the wildernes of Kedemoth vnto Sihon King of Heshbon, with wordes of peace, saying,

27 “Ma yentwa mu mfa wo man mu ha. Yɛbɛfa ɔtempɔn no so tee; yɛremman mfa benkum anaa nifa.

Let me passe through thy land: I will go by the hie way: I will neither turne vnto the right hand nor to the left.

28 Tɔn aduan ma yenni na tɔn nsu nso ma yɛnnom. Nea yɛrehwehwɛ ara ne ɔkwan a wobɛma yɛn ama yɛanantew atwa mu,

Thou shalt sell me meate for money, for to eate, and shalt giue me water for money for to drinke: onely I will go through on my foote,

29 sɛnea Esau asefo a na wɔte Seir ne Moabfo a na wɔte Ar yɛɛ yɛn no akosi sɛ yebetwa Yordan akɔ asase a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, de rema yɛn no so.”

(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did vnto me) vntill I be come ouer Iorden, into the land which the Lord our God giueth vs.

30 Nanso Hesbonhene Sihon amma yɛantwa mu wɔ hɔ. Efisɛ na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ayɛ ne honhom sisirii, apirim ne koma sɛnea ɔnam so de no bɛhyɛ mo nsam, sɛnea wayɛ no nnɛ yi.

But Sihon the King of Heshbon would not let vs passe by him: for the Lord thy God had hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, because hee would deliuer him into thine hand, as appeareth this day.

31 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Hwɛ, mafi ase de Sihon ne ne man ahyɛ wo nsam. Afei, fi ase na di wɔn so, na fa nʼasase no.”

And the Lord sayd vnto me, Beholde, I haue begun to giue Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possesse and inherite his land.

32 Bere a Sihon ne ne dɔm behyiaa yɛn sɛ wɔne yɛn rebɛko wɔ Yahas no,

Then came out Sihon to meete vs, him selfe with all his people to fight at Iahaz.

33 Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, yii no maa yɛn ma yɛbobɔɔ ɔno, ne mmabarima ne nʼasraafo nyinaa hwehwee.

But the Lord our God deliuered him into our power, and we smote him, and his sonnes, and all his people.

34 Na yɛfaa ne nkurow nyinaa saa bere no sɛee ne mmarima, mmea ne mmofra a yɛannyaw obiara.

And we tooke all his cities the same time, and destroyed euery citie, men, and women, and children: we let nothing remaine.

35 Mmom, nyɛmmoa ne asade ahorow a ɛwɔ nkurow a yedii so no mu no de, yɛsoa kɔe.

Onely the cattell we tooke to our selues, and the spoyle of the cities which we tooke,

36 Efi Aroer a ɛda Arnon Subon ano ne kurow a ɛda subon no mu no, ne mpo, de kosi Gilead no, kurow biara nni hɔ a na ɛsodi yɛ den ma yɛn; Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn de ne nyinaa hyɛɛ yɛn nsa.

From Aroer, which is by the banke of the riuer of Arnon, and from the citie that is vpon the riuer, euen vnto Gilead: there was not one citie that escaped vs: for the Lord our God deliuered vp all before vs.

37 Nanso, yɛankɔ Amorifo asase ne asase a ɛda Asubɔnten Yabok ho ne mmepɔw no so nkurow no baabiara a Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnnkɔ so no so.

Onely vnto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor vnto any place of the riuer Iabbok, nor vnto the cities in the mountaines, nor vnto whatsoeuer the Lord our God forbade vs.
