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.
We set off and went up the road towards Bashan. Og, king of Bashan, and his whole army came out to fight us 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.”
But the Lord told me, “Don't be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, together with all his people and his land. Deal with him as you did with Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled in 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.
So the Lord our God handed over to us Og, king of Bashan, and his whole army as well. We killed them and left no survivors.
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.
We also captured all his towns. There wasn't a single town among all the sixty that we didn't capture. This included 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 of these towns were fortified with high walls and gates with bars. There were many more villages as well, those that didn't have walls.
6 Yɛsɛee Basan kuropɔn no pasaa sɛnea yɛsɛee Hesbonhene Sihon no. Yɛsɛee nkurow no ne mu mmarima, mmea ne mmofra nyinaa pasapasa.
We set them apart for destruction, just as we did to Sihon, king of Heshbon, killing all the men, women, and children of every city.
7 Nanso nkuropɔn no mu nyɛmmoa ne asade ahorow no de, yɛsoa kɔe.
But we took for ourselves all the livestock and plunder from the towns.
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.
So in summary, at that time we took from the two Amorite kings the land east of the Jordan, from the Arnon Valley all the way to Mount Hermon.
9 Sidonfo frɛ no Hermon Sirion na Amorifo frɛ no Senir.
(Mount Hermon is called Sirion by the Sidonians and Senir by the Amorites.)
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.
The area included all the towns of the plain, all of Gilead, and all of Bashan, up to and including the towns of Salecah and Edrei in the kingdom of Og.
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.
(Only Og, king of Bashan, was left of the race of the Rephaim. He had a bed made of iron that was nine cubits long and four cubits wide. It's still in the Ammonite town of Rabbah.)
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.
This is when we took over the land. I assigned to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the land to the north of the town of Aroer in the Arnon Valley, and half the hill country of Gilead, together with its towns.
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.
I assigned to the half-tribe of Manasseh the rest of Gilead, and all of Bashan, the kingdom of Og. (The whole region of Argob, all the territory of Bashan, was formerly called the land of the Rephaim.)
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, a descendant of Manasseh, took over the whole region of Argob right up to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites and changed the name of Bashan to Havvoth-jair after himself, which is still its name to this day.
15 Mede Gilead maa Makir,
I assigned the rest of Gilead to the descendants of 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.
while I assigned to the tribes of Reuben and Gad the area from Gilead to the Arnon Valley, the boundary line being the middle of the valley, all the way to the Jabbok River on the Ammonite border.
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 Jordan River in the Arabah bordered it to the west, from the Sea of Galilee to the Sea of the Arabah (the Dead Sea). On the east lay the slopes of the Pisgah mountain range.
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.
This was when I gave you these instructions: “The Lord your God has given you this country as yours to own. All your warriors are to cross over, ready for battle, leading your fellow Israelites.
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.
However, your wives, your children, and your livestock (I know that you have plenty of livestock) can stay behind in the towns 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 the Lord gives victory to your fellow Israelites and they have peace, just as he has for you, after taking over the land that the Lord your God is giving them on the other side of the Jordan. Then you can all return to the land I have given you to own.”
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.
This was the time I ordered Joshua: “You've seen with your own eyes seen everything the Lord your God did to these two kings. The Lord will do the same to all the kingdoms where you're going.
22 Nsuro wɔn, na Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, bɛko ama wo.”
Don't be afraid of them, for the Lord your God himself will be fighting on your side.”
23 Saa bere no, mesrɛɛ Awurade se,
This was also the time I pleaded with the Lord, 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, you've really only just begun to show your power and greatness to me, your servant. What god in heaven or on earth has the incredible ability to do the mighty acts you do?
25 Mesrɛ wo, ma mintwa Yordan nkɔhwɛ asase pa a ɛda hɔ no, Lebanon mmepɔw asase fɛfɛ no.”
Please, let me cross over the Jordan and see the good land there, the beautiful hills, and the mountains of 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 the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he refused to listen to me. “That's enough,” he told me. “Don't talk to me about this anymore.
27 Foro kɔ Pisga na hwɛ atɔe, atifi, anafo ne apuei. Esiane sɛ, worentwa Yordan no nti, wʼankasa fa wʼani hwɛ asase no.
Climb up to the top of Mount and look west, north, south, and east. Take a long look at the land with your own eyes, because you're not going to cross 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.”
Instead, put Joshua in charge because he's the one who will cross over, leading the people and helping them to take over the land that you see. Encourage him and support him.”
29 Ɛno nti, yɛtenaa subon a ɛbɛn Bet-Peor no mu.
So we remained there in the valley near Beth-peor.
