5 Mose 3

1 Afei, yɛde yɛn ani kyerɛɛ Basan kwan so. Basanhene Og ne nʼasrafo nyinaa fi behyiaa yɛn wɔ Edrei ne yɛn koe.

And we turned, and went up the way to Bashan; and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, for battle at Edrei.

2 Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Nsuro no, efisɛ mede ɔno ne nʼakofo ne nʼasase nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa. Sɛnea woyɛɛ Amorihene Sihon a odii ade wɔ Hesbon dii no, yɛ no saa ara.”

And Jehovah said to me, Fear him not; for into thy hand have I given him, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.

3 Enti Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, san de Basanhene Og ne nʼakofo nyinaa hyɛɛ yɛn nsa. Yɛbɔɔ wɔn gui a anka wɔn mu baako koraa.

And Jehovah our God gave into our hand Og the king of Bashan also, and all his people; and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.

4 Saa bere no, yɛfaa ne nkuropɔn nyinaa. Nkuropɔn aduosia no mu baako koraa nni hɔ a yɛannye amfi wɔn nsam. Argob mantam a ɛyɛ Og ahemman wɔ Basan nyinaa.

And we took all his cities at that time: there was not a town which we took not from them, sixty cities, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5 Na wɔato afasu atenten afa saa nkuropɔn yi nyinaa ho de nnade apon atoto ano. Saa bere koro no ara mu, yɛfaa nkuraa a na wɔntoo afasu mfaa ho no bebree.

All these cities were fortified with high walls, gates, and bars; besides unwalled towns very many.

6 Yɛsɛee Basan kuropɔn no pasaa sɛnea yɛsɛee Hesbonhene Sihon no. Yɛsɛee nkurow no ne mu mmarima, mmea ne mmofra nyinaa pasapasa.

And we utterly destroyed them, as we had done to Sihon the king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city, men, women and little ones.

7 Nanso nkuropɔn no mu nyɛmmoa ne asade ahorow no de, yɛsoa kɔe.

But all the cattle and the spoil of the cities we took as booty for ourselves.

8 Saa bere no, yɛfaa Amorifo ahemfo baanu no nsase a na ɛdeda Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam no nyinaa; nsase a efi Arnon subon mu de kosi bepɔw Hermon so nyinaa.

And we took at that time the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites, that were on this side the Jordan, from the river Arnon to mount Hermon

9 Sidonfo frɛ no Hermon Sirion na Amorifo frɛ no Senir.

(the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir):

10 Yɛfaa nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ bepɔw no atifi no nyinaa so a Gilead ne Basan ka ho de kosi nkurow a ɛwɔ Saleka ne Edrei a na ɛyɛ Og ahemman wɔ Basan no nso ka ho bi.

all the cities of the plateau, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salchah and Edrei, the cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11 Abran no de, Basanhene Og nko na na waka. Ne dade mpa tenten boro anammɔn dumiɛnsa na ne trɛw yɛ anammɔn asia. Ɛda so wɔ Amonfo kuropɔn Raba mu mprempren ara.

For only Og the king of Bashan remained of the residue of giants: behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? its length was nine cubits, and its breadth four cubits, after the cubit of a man.

12 Nsase a yɛfaa no saa bere no, mede ne fa a ɛda fi Aroer Arnon subon mu ne ɔman a ɛda Gilead bepɔw no fa ne ne nkurow no maa Rubenfo ne Gadfo.

And this land we took in possession at that time. From Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and the half of mount Gilead, and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites;

13 Afei, mede asase no nkae a ɛyɛ Gilead ne Basan nyinaa a na anka ɛyɛ Og ahemman no maa Manase abusua fa no. Na wɔfrɛ Argob mantam a ɛwɔ Basan no nyinaa se Abran asase.

and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to half the tribe of Manasseh. (The whole region of Argob, even all Bashan, is called a land of giants.

14 Manase aseni bi a wɔfrɛ no Yair faa Argob mantam no nyinaa de kosii Gesurfo ne Maakatfo hye so. Ɔde ne din too asase no frɛɛ hɔ Hawot-Yair de besi nnɛ.

Jair the son of Manasseh took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and called Bashan after his own name, Havoth-Jair, to this day.)

15 Mede Gilead maa Makir,

And I gave Gilead to Machir.

16 Rubenfo ne Gadfo no, memaa wɔn asase bi a efi Gilead fa bi, kosi Arnon subon ho, de kosii Asubɔnten Yabok a ɛyɛ Amonfo hye no so.

And to the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the river Arnon, the middle of the ravine and its border, as far as the river Jabbok, the border of the children of Ammon;

17 Atɔe hye no fi Asubɔnten Yordan a ɛda Araba a efi Kineret kosi Araba Po (a ɛne Nkyene Po no) wɔ Pisga bepɔw no ase.

the plain also, and the Jordan, and [its] border from Chinnereth as far as the sea of the plain, the salt sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.

18 Na mehyɛɛ mo saa bere no se, “Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de asase yi ama mo sɛ momfa. Nanso mo mmarima akofo nyinaa nhyɛ akode nni mo nuanom Israelfo no anim ntwa Yordan.

And I commanded you at that time, saying, Jehovah your God hath given you this land to take possession of it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all [who are] combatants.

19 Mo yerenom, mo mma ne mo nyɛmmoa bebrebe a minim sɛ mowɔ no de, mubetumi agyaw wɔ nkurow a mede ama mo no so.

Only your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, — I know that ye have much cattle, — shall abide in your cities which I have given you,

20 Sɛ Awurade bɔ Israelfo a wɔaka no ho ban na wɔtena asase a Awurade de rema wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya no so a, ansa na mo mu biara betumi asan akɔ asase a mede ama mo no so.”

until Jehovah give rest to your brethren, as well as to you, and they also take possession of the land that Jehovah your God giveth them beyond the Jordan; then shall ye return, each man to his possession, which I have given you.

21 Saa bere no, meka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Wode wʼani ahu nea Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, ayɛ saa ahemfo baanu yi nyinaa. Saa ara na ɔbɛyɛ ahemman a ɛwɔ faako a morekɔ no nso.

And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done to these two kings: so will Jehovah do to all the kingdoms to which thou shalt go.

22 Nsuro wɔn, na Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, bɛko ama wo.”

Ye shall not fear them; for Jehovah your God, he will fight for you.

23 Saa bere no, mesrɛɛ Awurade se,

And I besought Jehovah at that time, saying,

24 “Otumfo Awurade, woafi ase reda wo kɛseyɛ ne wo nsa a ɛyɛ den no adi akyerɛ wʼakoa. Na onyame bɛn na ɔwɔ ɔsoro anaa asase so a obetumi ayɛ mmaninne te sɛ wo?

Lord Jehovah, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy powerful hand; for what God is in the heavens or in the earth that can do like to thy works, and like to thy might?

25 Mesrɛ wo, ma mintwa Yordan nkɔhwɛ asase pa a ɛda hɔ no, Lebanon mmepɔw asase fɛfɛ no.”

Let me go over, I pray thee, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.

26 Nanso esiane mo nti, Awurade bo fuw me. Na wantie me. Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Nka saa asɛm yi ho hwee bio nkyerɛ me.

But Jehovah was wroth with me on your account, and did not hear me; and Jehovah said to me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter!

27 Foro kɔ Pisga na hwɛ atɔe, atifi, anafo ne apuei. Esiane sɛ, worentwa Yordan no nti, wʼankasa fa wʼani hwɛ asase no.

Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes; for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

28 Nanso soma Yosua, hyɛ no nkuran na hyɛ no den, efisɛ ɔno na obedi saa nnipa yi anim atwa na wama wɔadi asase a wʼani tua yi.”

But charge Joshua, and encourage him and strengthen him; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall put them in possession of the land which thou shalt see.

29 Ɛno nti, yɛtenaa subon a ɛbɛn Bet-Peor no mu.

And we abode in the valley opposite to Beth-Peor.
