5 Mose 3

1 Afei, yɛde yɛn ani kyerɛɛ Basan ɛkwan so. Basanhene Og ne nʼasraadɔm firi bɛhyiaa yɛn wɔ Edrei ne yɛn koeɛ.

Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan. Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

2 Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Nsuro no, ɛfiri sɛ, mede ɔno ne nʼakodɔm ne nʼasase nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa. Asɛm a ɛtoo Amorifoɔhene Sihon wɔ Hesbon no, saa asɛm korɔ no ara bi na ɛbɛto no.”

Yahweh said to me, “Don’t fear him; for I have delivered him, with all his people and his land, into your hand. You shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.”

3 Enti, Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, sane de Basanhene Og ne nʼakodɔm nyinaa hyɛɛ yɛn nsa. Yɛbɔɔ wɔn guiɛ a anka wɔn mu baako koraa.

So Yahweh our God also delivered into our hand Og, the king of Bashan, and all his people. We struck him until no one was left to him remaining.

4 Saa ɛberɛ no, yɛfaa wɔn nkuropɔn nyinaa. Nkuropɔn aduosia no mu baako koraa nni hɔ a yɛannye amfiri wɔn nsam. Argob mantam a ɛyɛ Og ahenkuro wɔ Basan nyinaa ka ho.

We took all his cities at that time. There was not a city which we didn’t take from them: sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

5 Saa nkuropɔn yi nyinaa, na wɔato afasuo atentene afa ho de nnadeɛ apono atoto ano. Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, yɛfaa nkuraa a na wɔntoo afasuo mfaa ho bebree.

All these were cities fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, in addition to a great many villages without walls.

6 Yɛsɛee Basan kuropɔn no korakora sɛdeɛ yɛsɛee Hesbonhene Sihon no. Yɛsɛee nkuro no ne emu mmarima, mmaa ne mmɔfra nyinaa pasapasa.

We utterly destroyed them, as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every inhabited city, with the women and the little ones.

7 Nanso, afieboa nyinaa ne nkuro no mu asadeɛ deɛ, yɛfom faeɛ.

But all the livestock, and the plunder of the cities, we took for plunder for ourselves.

8 Amorifoɔ ahemfo baanu nsase a na ɛdeda Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam no nyinaa, yɛfaeɛ—nsase a ɛfiri Arnon subɔnhwa kɔsi bepɔ Hermon so nyinaa.

We took the land at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon.

9 Sidonfoɔ frɛ no Hermon Sirion ɛnna Amorifoɔ frɛ no Senir.

(The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir.)

10 Yɛadi nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ bepɔ no apampam no nyinaa so a Gilead ne Basan ka ho de kɔsi nkuro a ɛwɔ Saleka ne Edrei, a na ɛyɛ Og ahemman wɔ Basan no nso ka ho bi.

We took all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, to Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

11 Abrane no deɛ, Basanhene Og nko na na waka. Ne dadeɛ mpa tenten boro anammɔn dumiɛnsa ɛnna ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nsia. Ɛda so wɔ Amonfoɔ kuropɔn Raba mu seesei ara.

(For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. Behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron. Isn’t it in Rabbah of the children of Ammon? Nine cubits was its length, and four cubits its width, after the cubit of a man.)

12 Yɛfaa asase no, mede asase no fa a ɛda firi Aroer Arnon subɔnhwa mu ne Gilead bepɔ fa ne ne nkuro no maa Rubenfoɔ ne Gadfoɔ.

This land we took in possession at that time: from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill country of Gilead with its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and to the Gadites;

13 Afei, mede asase no nkaeɛ a ɛyɛ Gilead ne Basan nyinaa a ɛyɛ na anka ɛyɛ Og ahemman no maa Manase abusua fa no. Saa Basan no nyinaa na wɔfrɛ no abrane asase.

and the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh—all the region of Argob, even all Bashan. (The same is called the land of Rephaim.

14 Manase abusua ɔkannifoɔ Yair faa Argob asase no nyinaa a ɛne Basan kɔsii Gesurfoɔ ne Maakatfoɔ hyeɛ so. Ɔde ne din too asase no frɛɛ hɔ Hawot-Yair de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.)

15 Mede Gilead maa Makir,

I gave Gilead to Machir.

16 Rubenfoɔ ne Gadfoɔ no, memaa wɔn asase bi a ɛfiri Gilead fa bi, kɔsi Arnon subɔnhwa ho, de kɔsi Asubɔnten Yabok a ɛyɛ Amonfoɔ hyeɛ no so.

To the Reubenites and to the Gadites I gave from Gilead even to the valley of the Arnon, the middle of the valley, and its border, even to the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;

17 Atɔeɛ hyeɛ no firi Asubɔnten Yordan a ɛda Araba a ɛfiri Kineret kɔsi Nkyene Ɛpo a ɛda Pisga bepɔ ayaase no.

the Arabah also, and the Jordan and its border, from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward.

18 Na mehyɛɛ mo saa ɛberɛ no sɛ, “Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de asase yi ama mo sɛ momfa. Nanso mo mmarima akofoɔ nyinaa nhyɛ akodeɛ nni mo nuanom Israelfoɔ anim ntwa Yordan.

I commanded you at that time, saying, “Yahweh your God has given you this land to possess it. All of you men of valor shall pass over armed before your brothers, the children of Israel.

19 Mo yerenom, mo mma ne mo afieboa bebrebe no deɛ, monnya wɔn wɔ mo akyi wɔ nkuro a mede ama mo no so.

But your wives, and your little ones, and your livestock, (I know that you have much livestock), shall live in your cities which I have given you,

20 Sɛ Awurade bɔ Israelfoɔ a wɔaka no ho ban na wɔtena asase a Awurade de ama wɔn a ɛtwam Asubɔnten Yordan no so a, afei motumi sane mo akyi ba asase a mede ama mo no so.”

until Yahweh gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also possess the land which Yahweh your God gives them beyond the Jordan. Then you shall each return to his own possession, which I have given you.”

21 Saa ɛberɛ no, meka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Woahunu deɛ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn ayɛ saa ahemfo baanu yi. Saa ara na ɔbɛyɛ ahemman a ɛwɔ Yordan atɔeɛ fam no nyinaa.

I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen all that Yahweh your God has done to these two kings. So shall Yahweh do to all the kingdoms where you go over.

22 Nsuro aman a wɔwɔ hɔ no na Awurade bɛko ama wo.”

You shall not fear them; for Yahweh your God himself fights for you.”

23 Saa ɛberɛ no, mesrɛɛ Awurade sɛ,

I begged Yahweh at that time, saying,

24 “Ao Otumfoɔ Awurade, meyɛ wʼakoa. Afei, na worekyerɛ me wo kɛseyɛ ne wo tumi. Onyame bɛn na ɔwɔ ɔsoro anaa asase so a ɔbɛtumi ayɛ mmaninneɛ te sɛ wo?

“Lord Yahweh, you have begun to show your servant your greatness, and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or in earth that can do works like yours, and mighty acts like yours?

25 Mesrɛ wo, ma me ntwa Yordan nkɔhwɛ asase nwanwa a ɛda ɛfa hɔ, ɔman fɛfɛ no ne Lebanon mmepɔ no.”

Please let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that fine mountain, and Lebanon.”

26 Nanso ɛsiane mo enti, Awurade bo fuu me. Na wantie me. Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ “Ɛyɛ, nka saa asɛm yi ho hwee bio nkyerɛ me.

But Yahweh was angry with me because of you, and didn’t listen to me. Yahweh said to me, “That is enough! Speak no more to me of this matter.

27 Foro kɔ Pisga na hwɛ atɔeɛ ne atifi ne anafoɔ ne apueeɛ. Esiane sɛ, worentwa Yordan no enti, wʼankasa fa wʼani hwɛ asase no.

Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see with your eyes; for you shall not go over this Jordan.

28 Nanso, tu Yosua na bɔ nʼaba so, na hyɛ no den na ɔno na ɔbɛdi saa nnipa yi anim atwa na wama wɔadi asase a wʼani tua yi so.”

But commission 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 you shall see.”

29 Ɛno enti, yɛtenaa subɔnhwa a ɛbɛn Bet-Peor.

So we stayed in the valley near Beth Peor.
