Yosua 14

1 Israelfo mmusuakuw nkae no nyaa nsase wɔ Kanaan sɛ agyapade, sɛnea ɔsɔfo Eleasar, Nun babarima Yosua ne Israel mmusuakuw ntuanofo no de maa wɔn no.

And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.

2 Saa mmusuakuw akron ne fa yi nam ntontobɔ so na wonyaa wɔn agyapade no sɛnea Awurade faa Mose so hyɛe no.

By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.

3 Na Mose ama mmusuakuw abien ne fa no nsase sɛ wɔn agyapade wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam dedaw.

For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.

4 Yosef abusuakuw no de, na abɛyɛ mmusuakuw abien a wɔne Manase ne Efraim. Lewifo no de, wɔamma wɔn asase no mu bi koraa, gye nkurow a wɔbɛtena so ne adidibea a wɔn nguan ne wɔn anantwi bɛkɔ so adidi.

For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.

5 Enti asase no mu kyekyɛ no, wogyinaa mmara a Awurade de maa Mose no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.

As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.

6 Wotuu asomafo fi Yuda abusuakuw mu a Kaleb a ɔyɛ Kenesini, Yefune babarima di wɔn anim baa Yosua nkyɛn wɔ Gilgal. Kaleb ka kyerɛɛ Yosua se, “Kae asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose, Onyankopɔn nipa, a ɛfa me ne wo ho, bere a na yɛwɔ Kades-Barnea no.

Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, You know the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and you in Kadeshbarnea.

7 Bere a Mose, Awurade somfo no somaa me fi Kades-Barnea sɛ menkɔhwehwɛ Kanaan asase no so no, na madi mfe aduanan. Mesan mʼakyi na mifi koma pa mu bɛkaa nea mihuu nyinaa,

Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to monitor out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.

8 nanso me nuanom a wɔkaa me ho kɔe no hunahunaa nnipa no, buu wɔn aba mu sɛ wonntu wɔn nan nsi Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Na me fam mu de, mede me ho nyinaa dii Awurade, me Nyankopɔn akyi.

Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.

9 Enti saa da no, Mose hyɛɛ me bɔ se, ‘Kanaan asase a wokɔnantew so yi bɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefo agyapade sononko daa nyinaa, efisɛ wufi wo koma nyinaa mu adi Awurade, me Nyankopɔn akyi.’

And Moses swore on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon your feet have trodden shall be your inheritance, and your children's for ever, because you have wholly followed the LORD my God.

10 “Afei, sɛnea wuhu yi, Awurade ahwɛ me so yiye mfe aduanan anum fi bere a Mose hyɛɛ saa bɔ yi bere a na Israelfo nenam sare so no. Nnɛ, madi mfe aduɔwɔtwe anum.

And now, behold, the LORD has kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spoke this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.

11 Me ho yɛ den nnɛ te sɛ da a Mose somaa me no na metumi atu kwan akɔ ɔko ano mprempren te sɛ kan no.

As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.

12 Enti merebisa na wode bepɔw asase a Awurade de hyɛɛ me bɔ no ama me. Wobɛkae sɛ na yɛyɛ akwansrafo no, yehuu sɛ Anakfo tete nkuropɔn akɛse a wato ɔfasu afa ho mu. Nanso sɛ Awurade ka me ho a, mɛpam wɔn afi asase no so sɛnea Awurade kae no.”

Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.

13 Na Yosua hyiraa Kaleb, Yefune babarima no de Hebron maa no sɛ agyapade.

And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.

14 Hebron da so yɛ Kaleb, Yefune a ɔyɛ Kenesini babarima no asefo de, efisɛ ɔde ne koma nyinaa dii Awurade Israel Nyankopɔn akyi.

Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

15 Kan no na wɔfrɛ Hebron sɛ Kiriat-Arba. Wɔde Arba yi too Anakfo mu okunini pa ara bi. Na akokoakoko fii asase no so.

And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
