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.

Then we turned and went by the way of Basan: and Og the king of Basan came out to meet us with his people to fight in Edrai.

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 the Lord said to me: Fear him not: because he is delivered into thy hand, with all his people and his land: and thou shalt do to him as thou hast done to Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon.

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

So the Lord our God delivered into our hands, Og also the king of Basan, and all his people: and we utterly destroyed them,

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.

Wasting all his cities at one time, there was not a town that escaped us: sixty cities, all the country of Argob the kingdom of Og in Basan.

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 the cities were fenced with very high walls, and with gates and bars, besides innumerable towns that had no walls.

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 Sehon the king of Hesebon, destroying every city, men and women and children:

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

But the cattle and the spoils of the cities we took for our prey.

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 Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan: from the torrent Amen unto the mount Hermon,

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

Which the Sidonians call Sarion, and the Amorrhites Sanir:

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 that are situate in the plain, and all the land of Galaad and Basan as far as Selcha and Edrai, cities of the kingdom of Og in Basan.

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 king of Basan remained of the race of the giants. His bed of iron is shewn, which is in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, being nine cubits long, and four broad after the measure of the cubit of a man’s hand.

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 we possessed the land at that time from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the torrent Amen, unto the half of mount Galaad: and I gave the cities thereof to Ruben and Gad.

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 I delivered the other part of Galaad, and all Basan the kingdom of Og to the half tribe of Manasses, all the country of Argob: and all Basan is called the 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 Manasses possessed all the country of Argob unto the borders of Gessuri, and Machati. And he called Basan by his own name, Havoth Jair, that is to say, the towns of Jair, until this present day.

15 Mede Gilead maa Makir,

To Machir also I gave Galaad.

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 tribes of Ruben and Gad I gave of the land of Galaad as far as the torrent Amen, half the torrent, and the confines even unto the torrent Jeboc, which is 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.

And the plain of the wilderness, and the Jordan, and the borders of Cenereth unto the sea of the desert, which is the most salt sea, to the foot of mount Phasga 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: The Lord your God giveth you this land for an inheritance, go ye well appointed before your brethren the children of Israel, all the strong men of you,

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.

Leaving your wives and children and cattle. For I know you have much cattle, and they must remain in the cities, which I have delivered to 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 the Lord give rest to your brethren, as he hath given to you: and they also possess the land, which he will give them beyond the Jordan: then shall every man return 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.

I commanded Josue also at that time, saying: Thy eyes have seen what the Lord your God hath done to these two kings: so will he do to all the kingdoms to which thou shalt pass.

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

Fear them not: for the Lord your God will fight for you.

23 Saa bere no, mesrɛɛ Awurade se,

And I besought the Lord 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 God, thou hast begun to shew unto thy servant thy greatness, and most mighty hand, for there is no other God either in heaven or earth, that is able to do thy works, or to be compared to thy strength.

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

I will pass over therefore, and will see this excellent land beyond the Jordan, and this goodly mountain, and Libanus.

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.

And the Lord was angry with me on your account and heard me not, but said to me: It is enough: speak no more to 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 Phasga, and cast thy eyes round about to the west, and to the north, and to the south, and to the east, and behold it, for thou shalt not pass 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.”

Command Josue, and encourage and strengthen him: for he shall go before this people, and shall divide unto them the land which thou shalt see.

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

And we abode in the valley over against the temple of Phogor.
