4 Mose 32
1 Na Ruben ne Gad mmusuakuw no wɔ nyɛmmoa pii, enti wuhuu sɛ Yaser ne Gilead nsase no beye ama wɔn nguan ne anantwi no.
Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great multitude of livestock: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that look, the place was a place for livestock;
2 Enti wɔkɔɔ Mose ne ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne nnipa no ntuanofo no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
the people of Gad and the people of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,
3 “Atarot, Dibon, Yaser, Nimra, Hesbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo ne Beon yɛ
"Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sibmah, and Nebo, and Beon,
4 nsase a Awurade ako, agye ama Israelfo na eye ma yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi.
the land which the LORD struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock; and your servants have livestock."
5 Sɛ yɛanya adom wɔ mo anim a, yɛsrɛ mo momfa saa asase yi mma yɛn sɛ yɛn kyɛfa na munnyae Asubɔnten Yordan agya nohɔ a mopɛ sɛ mode ma yɛn no.”
They said, "If we have found favor in your sight, let this land be given to your servants for a possession; do not bring us over the Jordan."
6 Mose nso bisaa Rubenfo ne Gadfo no se, “Mokyerɛ sɛ, mopɛ sɛ motena ha bere a mo nuanom atwa mu rekɔko?
Moses said to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, "Shall your brothers go to the war, and shall you sit here?
7 Adɛn nti na mopɛ sɛ mubu Israelfo no aba mu ma wɔsan sɛ wɔrenkɔ asase a Awurade de ama wɔn no so no?
Why do you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD has given them?
8 Ade koro yi ara na mo agyanom yɛe. Mesomaa wɔn fii Kades-Barnea sɛ wɔnkɔsra asase no.
Your fathers did so when I sent them from Kadesh Barnea to see the land.
9 Wowiee nsra no na wofi Eskol subon mu bae no, wobuu nnipa no aba mu sɛ wɔnnkɔ asase a Awurade de ama wɔn no so.
For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
10 Da no Awurade abufuw sɔree na ɔkaa saa ntam yi:
The LORD's anger was kindled in that day, and he swore, saying,
11 ‘Esiane sɛ wɔamfi wɔn koma nyinaa mu anni mʼakyi nti wɔn mu biara nni hɔ a bere a wɔrefi Misraim no a na wadi mfe aduonu anaa nea ɛboro saa a no behu asase a mehyɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ho bɔ no,
'Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
12 ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ, gye Kenesini Yefune babarima Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua, efisɛ wɔde wɔn koma nyinaa dii Awurade akyi, hyɛɛ nnipa nkuran sɛ wɔnkɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so.’
except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun; because they have followed the LORD completely.'
13 Awurade maa yekyinkyin sare no so hɔ mfirihyia aduanan kosii sɛ saa awo ntoatoaso amumɔyɛfo no nyinaa wuwui.
The LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander back and forth in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, who had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
14 “Nanso monhwɛ, abɔnefo, moregyina mo agyanom anan mu ama Awurade bo afuw Israel nea ɛkyɛn so.
"Look, you have risen up in your fathers' place, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
15 Sɛ mosan fi nʼakyi a, ɔbɛsan agyaw ne nnipa no nyinaa wɔ sare so hɔ na wɔn sɛe no befi mo.”
For if you turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and you will destroy all this people."
16 Wɔteɛɛ mu se, “Ɛnte saa koraa! Yɛbɛyɛ yɛn nguannan na yɛakyekyere nkurow akɛse ama yɛn mmea ne mmofra.
They came near to him, and said, "We will build sheepfolds here for our livestock, and cities for our little ones:
17 Na yɛn ankasa de akode bɛhyehyɛ yɛn ho adi Israelfo a wɔaka no anim akosi sɛ yɛde wɔn bɛba asomdwoe mu ama wɔabɛfa wɔn agyapade. Na nea edi kan no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkyekye nkurow a yebegye afasu afa ho ama yɛn nkurɔfo atena mu na ɛhɔfo no ankɔtow anhyɛ wɔn so.
but we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
18 Sɛ Israelfo no nyinaa nsa nkaa wɔn agyapade no a, yɛrensan mma yɛn afi mu.
We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
19 Yɛne wɔn renkyɛ Yordan agya hɔ asase biara, efisɛ yɛanya yɛn agyapade no wɔ Yordan apuei fam hɔ.”
For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan, and forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side of the Jordan eastward."
20 Mose kae se, “Sɛ mobɛyɛ sɛnea moaka no, sɛ mobɛhyehyɛ mo ho wɔ Awurade anim ama ɔko,
Moses said to them, "If you will do this thing, if you will arm yourselves to go before the LORD to the war,
21 na mode mo asraafo no atwa Yordan kosi sɛ Awurade bɛpam nʼatamfo no,
and every armed man of you will pass over the Jordan before the LORD, until he has driven out his enemies from before him,
22 na sɛ asase no ho asɛm dwo brɛoo wɔ Awurade anim a, ɛno de mutumi san ba. Ɛba saa a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, moayɛ mo asɛde ama Awurade ne Israelfo nyinaa. Na asase a ɛda apuei no nso, Awurade de bɛma mo.
and the land is subdued before the LORD; then afterward you shall return, and be guiltless towards the LORD, and towards Israel; and this land shall be to you for a possession before the LORD.
23 “Sɛ moanni asɛm a moaka no so a, na moayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, munhu sɛ, ɛho asotwe bɛba mo so.
"But if you will not do so, look, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.
24 Monkɔ so nkyekyere nkurow mma mo fifo na monyɛ nguannan mma mo nguan na munni asɛm a mokae no nyinaa so.”
Build cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which has proceeded out of your mouth."
25 Ruben ne Gad nkurɔfo no kae se, “Yebedi wʼahyɛde no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
The people of Gad and the people of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, "Your servants will do as my lord commands.
26 Yɛn mma, yɛn yerenom, yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi bɛtena Gilead nkuropɔn mu.
Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock, shall be there in the cities of Gilead;
27 Nanso yɛn a wɔakyere yɛn sɛ asraafo no bɛko ama Awurade sɛnea woaka no.”
but your servants will pass over, every man who is armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord says."
28 Enti Mose penee so ka kyerɛɛ Eleasar, Yosua ne mpanyimfo a wotuatua Israel mmusuakuw ano no se,
So Moses commanded concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the ancestral houses of the tribes of the children of Israel.
29 “Sɛ Gad ne Ruben abusuakuw mu mmarima nyinaa a wɔakyere wɔn ayɛ wɔn asraafo sɛ wɔnkɔko mma Awurade no ne me kɔ Yordan na sɛ wɔkɔko di nkonim wɔ hɔ a, momfa Gilead asase no mma wɔn;
Moses said to them, "If the people of Gad and the people of Reuben will pass with you over the Jordan, every man who is armed to battle before the LORD, and the land is subdued before you; then you are to give them the land of Gilead for a possession.
30 na sɛ wɔankɔ a, ɛno de, wɔmpene so mfa nsase a mowɔ wɔ Kanaan asase so no bi.”
But if they will not pass over with you armed to battle before the LORD, then you are to bring over their children and their wives and their flocks before you into the land of Canaan, and they are to have possessions among you in the land of Canaan."
31 Gad ne Ruben abusuafo kaa bio se, “Wo nkoa bedi Awurade asɛm so;
The people of Gad and the people of Reuben answered, saying, "As the LORD has said to your servants, so will we do.
32 yɛde akode bɛhyehyɛ yɛn ho adi Awurade akyi akɔ Kanaan, nanso yɛn ara yɛn asase bɛda Yordan fa ha.”
We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, and the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us beyond the Jordan."
33 Enti Mose ma wɔde Amorihene Sihon ne Basanhene Og nsasetam ne wɔn nkurow akɛse maa Gad, Ruben ne Yosef babarima Manase mmusuakuw.
Moses gave to them, even to the people of Gad, and to the people of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, according to its cities and borders, even the cities of the surrounding land.
34 Gad nkurɔfo na wɔkyekyeree saa nkurow yi: Dibon, Atarot, Aroer.
The people of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
35 Atrot-Sofan, Yaser Yogbeha,
and Atrothshophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
36 Bet-Nimra ne Betharan. Na ɛyɛ nkurow a nguan wɔ mu yiye.
and Beth Nimrah, and Beth Haran: fortified cities, and folds for sheep.
37 Ruben mmabarima na wɔkyekyeree saa nkurow a edidi so yi: Hesbon, Eleale ne Kiriataim,
The people of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,

and Nebo, and Baal Meon, (their names being changed), and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the cities which they built.
39 Makir asefo a wofi Manase abusuakuw mu kɔɔ Gilead kɔko dii hɔ so pam Amorifo a saa bere no na wɔte hɔ no nyinaa.
The descendants of Makir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.
40 Enti Mose de Gilead maa Makirfo a wɔyɛ Manase asefo no, ma wɔtenaa hɔ.
Moses gave Gilead to Makir the son of Manasseh; and he lived in it.

Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
