Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova foki kia Siosiua, ʻo pehē,
2 “Afei, ka kyerɛ Israelfo no na wonyiyi guankɔbea nkuropɔn no sɛnea mehyɛɛ Mose no.
Ke ke lea ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, “Fili moʻomoutolu ʻae ngaahi kolo ke hūfanga ki ai, ʻaia naʻaku lea ai kiate kimoutolu ʻi he nima ʻo Mōsese:
3 Obiara a wanhyɛ da na obekum obi no tumi guan kɔ nkuropɔn yi bi so, kɔbɔ ne ho aguaa, sɛnea owufo no abusuafo no rentumi ntɔ okum no so were.
Koeʻuhi ke hola ki ai ʻae fakapō ʻaia ʻoku ne tāmateʻi lavenoaʻia ha tokotaha ʻo taʻeloto ki ai: pea ʻe ʻiate kimoutolu ia ko homou hūfanga mei he totongi toto.
4 Sɛ onipa a wanhyɛ da na okum obi no du kuropɔn no bi so a, onkohu kuropɔn no mu mpanyimfo wɔ kuropɔn no pon ano na ɔnkyerɛ wɔn nea esii. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma ho kwan ma owura kuropɔn no mu, na wɔne no tena.
Pea ka tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻo ha kolo ʻe taha ʻi he ngaahi kolo ni, ʻaia ʻoku ne hola ki ai, ʻo ne fakamatala ʻene meʻa ʻi he telinga ʻoe kau mātuʻa ʻoe kolo ko ia, tenau ʻave ia ki he kolo kiate kinautolu, ʻonau tuku kiate ia ha potu, ke ne nofo ai mo kinautolu.
5 Sɛ owufo no abusuafo ba sɛ wɔrebɛtɔ okum no so were a, ɛnsɛ sɛ mpanyimfo no yi okumfo no ma, efisɛ ɛyɛ esiane.
Pea kapau ʻoku tuli ia ʻe he totongi toto, ʻe ʻikai ai tenau tukuange ʻae fakapō ki hono nima; koeʻuhi naʻa ne tā lavenoaʻia hono kaungāʻapi, ka naʻe ʻikai tomuʻa fehiʻa kiate ia.
6 Nanso ɛsɛ sɛ okumfo no tena kuropɔn no mu na ɔmanfo di nʼasɛm bu no bem. Na ɛsɛ sɛ owudifo no kɔ so tena kurow no mu, efisɛ owu no yɛ asiane. Ɔbɛtena hɔ akosi sɛ ɔsɔfopanyin a ɔwɔ hɔ saa bere no a asɛm no sii no bewu. Ɛno akyi, okumfo no wɔ ho kwan sɛ ɔsan kɔ ne kurom.”
Pea ʻe nofo ia ʻi he kolo ko ia, ke ʻoua ke tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha ʻi he fakamaau, pea ke ʻoua ke pekia ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi ʻaia ʻe ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia: pea ʻe toki liu mai ʻae tāmate faainoa, ʻo haʻu ki heʻene kolo, pea haʻu ki hono fale, ki he kolo naʻe hola ia mei ai.”
7 Nkuropɔn a edidi so yi na woyiyi yɛɛ hɔ guankɔbea nkuropɔn: Kedes a ɛwɔ Galilea wɔ Naftali bepɔw asase so, Sekem a ɛwɔ Efraim bepɔw asase so, Kiriat-Arba a wɔfrɛ no Hebron a ɛwɔ Yuda bepɔw asase so.
Pea naʻa nau fili ʻa Ketesi ʻi Kaleli ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Nafitalai, mo Sikemi ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi, mo Kesa-ʻAlipa, ʻaia ko Hepeloni, ʻi he moʻunga ʻo Siuta.
8 Na Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam nso a etwa mu fi Yeriko no, saa nkuropɔn a edidi so yi na woyiyii sɛ guankɔbea nkuropɔn: Beser a ɛwɔ sare pradada so a ɛyɛ Ruben abusuakuw de no, Ramot a ɛwɔ Gilead a ɛwɔ Gad abusuakuw asase so ne Golan a ɛwɔ Basan a ɛyɛ Manase abusuakuw no asase.
Pea ʻi he kauvai ʻe taha ʻo Sioatani ofi ki Seliko ʻi he potu hahake, naʻa nau fili ʻa Peseli ʻi he toafa ki he potu ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Lupeni, mo Lemoti ʻi Kiliati mei he faʻahinga ʻo Kata, mo Kolani Pesani mei he faʻahinga ʻo Manase.
9 Eyinom ne nkuropɔn a woyiyi maa Israelfo ne ahɔho a wɔne wɔn te no. Obiara a wamfi ɔboayɛ mu ankum ɔfoforo no, otumi kɔhwehwɛ guankɔbea wɔ saa nkuropɔn yi biara so. Sɛ wɔfa saa ɔkwan yi so a wɔn a wɔrehwehwɛ aweretɔ no nsa renka awudifo no nkum wɔn ansa na wɔaba ɔmanfo asennii abeyi wɔn ho ano.
Ko eni ʻae ngaahi kolo naʻe fili ki he fānau kotoa pē ʻa ʻIsileli, pea ki he muli ʻoku ʻāunofo ʻiate kinautolu, koeʻuhi ko ia ʻoku ne tāmate lavenoaʻia ha tokotaha, ke hola ia ki ai, ke ʻoua naʻa mate ia ʻi he nima ʻoe totongi toto, kaeʻoua ke tuʻu ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fakataha.
