Afterward he brought me vnto the doore of the house: and behold, waters yssued out from vnder the threshold of the house Eastward: for the forefront of the house stoode towarde the East, and the waters ran downe from vnder the right side of the house, at the southside of ye altar.
2 Ɔde me firii adi faa atifi fam ɛpono no mu na ɔde me faa mfikyire baa abɔntenpono a ani hwɛ apueeɛ no, na na nsuo no tene firi anafoɔ fam.
Then brought he me out toward the North gate, and led me about by the way without vnto the vtter gate, by the way that turneth Eastward: and behold, there came forth waters on ye right side
3 Ɛberɛ a ɔbarima no rekɔ apueeɛ fam a ɔkura susuhoma no, ɔsusuu anammɔn apem ahanum, na afei ɔde me faa nsuo a ɛdeda nan ase mu.
And when the man that had the line in his hand, went foorth Eastward, he measured a thousand cubites, and he brought me through the waters: the waters were to the ancles.
4 Ɔsusuu anammɔn apem ahanum bio na ɔde me faa nsuo a ɛdeda kotodwe mu. Ɔsusuu anammɔn apem ahanum bio na ɔde me faa nsuo a ɛdeda sisie mu.
Againe he measured a thousande, and brought me through the waters: the waters were to the knees: againe he measured a thousand, and brought me through: ye waters were to ye loynes.
5 Ɔsusuu anammɔn apem ahanum bio na afei na nsuo no ayɛ asubɔnten a merentumi ntwa, ɛfiri sɛ na emu dɔ enti, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdware asubɔnten a obiara ntumi ntwa.
Afterward he measured a thousand, and it was a riuer, that I could not passe ouer: for the waters were risen, and the waters did flowe, as a riuer that could not be passed ouer.
6 Ɔbisaa me sɛ, “Onipa ba wohunu yei anaa?” Afei ɔsane de me baa asubɔnten no konkɔn so.
And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, hast thou seene this? Then he brought me, and caused me to returne to the brinke of the riuer.
7 Meduruu hɔ no, mehunuu nnua bebree wɔ asubɔnten no nkonkɔn mmienu no so.
Nowe when I returned, beholde, at the brinke of the riuer were very many trees on the one side, and on the other.
8 Ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Saa nsuo yi tene kɔ apueeɛ fam kɔbɔ Araba mu na ɛhɔ na ɛbɔ ɛpo mu. Baabi a ɛbɔ ɛpo mu hɔ nsuo no yɛ deɛ nkyene nni mu.
Then saide he vnto me, These waters issue out towarde the East countrey, and runne downe into the plaine, and shall goe into one sea: they shall runne into another sea, and the waters shalbe wholesome.
9 Baabiara a nsuo no tene fa no, abɔdeɛ a wɔwɔ nkwa bebree bɛtena hɔ. Mpataa bebree bɛba hɔ ɛfiri sɛ saa nsuo no tene fa hɔ na ɛma nsuo a ɛyɛ nkyenkyen no yɛ nsu pa; biribiara yɛ yie wɔ baabiara nsuo no tene fa.
And euery thing that liueth, which moueth, wheresoeuer the riuers shall come, shall liue, and there shalbe a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be wholesome, and euery thing shall liue whither the riuer commeth.
10 Apofofoɔ bɛgyinagyina mpoano hɔ; ɛfiri En-Gedi kɔsi En-Eglaim. Wɔbɛnya baabi ahata wɔn asau. Mpataa no bɛyɛ ahodoɔ bebree te sɛ mpataa a ɛwɔ Ɛpo kɛseɛ no mu.
And then the fishers shall stand vpon it, and from En-gedi euen vnto En-eglaim, they shall spread out their nettes: for their fish shalbe according to their kindes, as the fishe of the maine sea, exceeding many.
11 Nanso atɛkyɛ ne aforɔ no deɛ, ɛbɛtena hɔ saa ara. Wɔbɛgya hɔ ama adane nkyene.
But the myrie places thereof, and the marises thereof shall not be wholesome: they shalbe made salt pittes.
12 Nnuaba nnua ahodoɔ bɛnyini wɔ asubɔnten no konkɔn mmienu no so. Wɔn nhahan rempo, na wɔbɛso aba biribiara. Wɔbɛso aba ɔbosome biara, ɛfiri sɛ nsuo a ɛfiri kronkronbea hɔ no tene kɔ hɔ. Wɔn aba bɛyɛ aduane na wɔde wɔn nhahan asa yadeɛ.”
And by this riuer vpon the brinke thereof, on this side, and on that side shall grow all fruitful trees, whose leafe shall not fade, neither shall ye fruit thereof faile: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his moneths, because their waters run out of ye Sanctuarie: and the fruite thereof shalbe meat, and the leafe thereof shalbe for medicine.
13 Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: “Ahyeɛ a wobɛtoto de akyekyɛ asase no mu ama Israel mmusuakuo dumienu no sɛ agyapadeɛ a kyɛfa mmienu bɛyɛ Yosef dea no nie.
Thus saith the Lord God, This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherite the lande according to the twelue tribes of Israel: Ioseph shall haue two portions.
14 Wobɛkyekyɛ mu pɛpɛɛpɛ ama wɔn. Ɛfiri sɛ memaa me nsa so kaa ntam sɛ mede bɛma mo agyanom na saa asase yi bɛyɛ mo agyapadeɛ.
And ye shall inherite it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lift vp mine hand to giue it vnto your fathers, and this lande shall fall vnto you for inheritance.
15 “Yei na ɛbɛyɛ asase no hyeɛ: “Atifi fam hyeɛ no bɛfa Hetlon ɛkwan so akɔfiri Ɛpo kɛseɛ no, atwam Lebo Hamat akɔ Sedad,
And this shall be the border of the lande towarde the North side, from the maine sea toworde Hethlon as men goe to Zedadah:
16 Berota ne Sibraim (a ɛda Damasko ne Hamat hyeɛ no ntam), na atoa so akɔ Haser-Hatikon a ɛno nso wɔ Hauran hyeɛ so.
Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is betweene the border of Damascus, and the border of Hamath, and Hazar, Hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17 Ɛhyeɛ no bɛfiri ɛpo no, afa Damasko atifi fam hyeɛ so akɔsi Hasar-Enan na Hamat hyeɛ no abɛda atifi fam. Yei na ɛbɛyɛ atifi fam hyeɛ.
And the border from the sea shalbe Hazar, Enan, and the border of Damascus, and the residue of the North, Northwarde, and the border of Hamath: so shalbe the North part.
18 Apueeɛ fam hyeɛ no bɛfiri Hauran ne Damasko ntam afa Yordan a ɛda Gilead ne Israel asase no ntam, atoa so afa apueeɛ fam ɛpo no akɔsi Tamar. Yei na ɛbɛyɛ apueeɛ fam hyeɛ.”
But the East side shall ye measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the lande of Israel by Iorden, and from the border vnto the East sea: and so shalbe the East part.
19 Anafoɔ fam hyeɛ no bɛfiri Tamar akɔ Meriba Kades nsuwansuwa ho, na atoa so afa Misraim asuwa akɔsi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no. Yei na ɛbɛyɛ anafoɔ fam hyeɛ.
And the Southside shalbe towarde Teman from Tamar to the waters of Meriboth in Kadesh, and the riuer to the maine sea: so shalbe the South part towarde Teman.
20 Atɔeɛ fam no, Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no bɛyɛ ɛhyeɛ akɔsi beaeɛ bi a ɛne Lebo Hamat di nhwɛanim. Yei bɛyɛ atɔeɛ fam hyeɛ.
The West parte also shalbe the great sea from the border, till a man come ouer against Hamath: this shalbe the West part.
21 “Monkyekyɛ asase yi mma mo ho mo ho, sɛdeɛ Israel mmusuakuo no teɛ.
So shall ye deuide this lande vnto you, according to the tribes of Israel.
22 Monkyekyɛ mu sɛ agyapadeɛ mma mo ho ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu a wɔwɔ mma. Ɛsɛ sɛ mofa wɔn sɛ nnipa a wɔawo wɔn sɛ Israelfoɔ te sɛ mo ara; ɛsɛ sɛ wɔnya kyɛfa wɔ Israel mmusuakuo no mu.
And you shall deuide it by lot for an inheritance vnto you, and to the strangers that dwell among you, which shall beget children among you, and they shall be vnto you, as borne in the countrey among the children of Israel, they shall part inheritance with you in the middes of the tribes of Israel.
23 Abusuakuo biara a ɔhɔhoɔ bi bɛdɔm no, emu na ɛsɛ sɛ woma no nʼagyapadeɛ,” Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
And in what tribe the stranger dwelleth, there shall ye giue him his inheritance, saith the Lord God.
