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 up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to 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 the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which 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.

So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, 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 city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the 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] fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great 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 did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

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 for a prey to 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 out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that [was] on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;

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

([Which] Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir; )

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 plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, 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 king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead [was] a bedstead of iron; [is] it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits [was] the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, 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, [which] we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which [is] by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto 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, [being] the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was 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 Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashan-havoth-jair, unto this day.

15 Mede Gilead maa Makir,

And I gave Gilead unto 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 unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, [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.

The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast [thereof], from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, [even] the salt sea, under Ashdoth-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, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all [that are] meet for the war.

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.

But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, ([for] 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 the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and [until] they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and [then] shall ye return every man unto 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 the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.

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

Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall 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?

O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God [is there] in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?

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

I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that [is] beyond 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 the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto 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.

Get thee up into 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 cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.

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

So we abode in the valley over against Beth-peor.
