Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath (and they shall have their sides east [and] west), Dan, one [portion].
2 Aser bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Dan kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.

And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, Judah, one [portion].
8 “Yuda nsase no hyeɛ a ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ no so na kyɛfa a wode bɛma sɛ akyɛdeɛ sononko no bɛdi. Ne tɛtrɛtɛ bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Na ne tentene, ɛfiri apueeɛ kɔsi atɔeɛ no ne mmusuakuo no kyɛfa baako bɛyɛ pɛ, na kronkronbea no bɛwɔ mfimfini.
And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the oblation which ye shall offer, five and twenty thousand [reeds] in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
9 “Kyɛfa sononko a wode bɛma Awurade no tentene bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Na ne tɛtrɛtɛ ayɛ anammɔn mpem dunum.
The oblation that ye shall offer unto Jehovah shall be five and twenty thousand [reeds] in length, and ten thousand in breadth.
10 Yei bɛyɛ kyɛfa kronkron ama asɔfoɔ no. Ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum ne tentene mu wɔ atifi fam, na ayɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ atɔeɛ fam. Ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ apueeɛ fam, na anafoɔ fam nso ɛbɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Ne mfimfini bɛyɛ Awurade kronkronbea.
And for these, even for the priests, shall be the holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand [in length], and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Jehovah shall be in the midst thereof.
11 Yei bɛyɛ Sadokfoɔ asɔfoɔ a wɔayɛ wɔn kronkron no dea, wɔn a wɔdii me nokorɛ somm me na wɔannane amfiri me nkyɛn sɛdeɛ Lewifoɔ yɛeɛ ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ dane firii me nkyɛn no.
[It shall be] for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, that have kept my charge, that went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
12 Ɛbɛyɛ akyɛdeɛ sononko a ɛfiri asase no kyɛfa a ɛyɛ kronkron no mu ama wɔn, kyɛfa kronkron mu kronkron a ɛne Lewifoɔ asase no bɔ hyeɛ.
And it shall be unto them an oblation from the oblation of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.
13 “Asɔfoɔ no asase nkyɛn mu no, Lewifoɔ no bɛnya kyɛfa a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn mpem dunum. Ne tentene nyinaa bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum, na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nyinaa nso asi anammɔn mpem dunum.
And answerable unto the border of the priests, the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
14 Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtɔn anaasɛ wɔde emu fa biara sesa biribi. Asase no mu deɛ ɛyɛ papa nie, na ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛkɔ onipa foforɔ nsam, ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade.
And they shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first-fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy unto Jehovah.
15 “Asase a aka a ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn mpem nson ne ahanum na ne tentene nso yɛ anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum no bɛda hɔ ama kuropɔn no mufoɔ. Wɔbɛsisi adan wɔ so na wɔde bi nso ayɛ mmoa adidibea. Kuropɔn no bɛda ne mfimfini
And the five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the five and twenty thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs; and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
16 na ne kɛseɛ bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson aduonum wɔ atifi fam, anafoɔ fam, apueeɛ fam ne atɔeɛ fam.
And these shall be the measures thereof: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
17 Kuropɔn yi mmoa adidibea no kɛseɛ bɛyɛ anammɔn ahasa aduɔson enum wɔ nʼafanan biara.
And the city shall have suburbs: toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
18 Asase a aka a ɛda kyɛfa kronkron no ho wɔ ne tentene mu no bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem dunum wɔ nʼapueeɛ fam ne nʼatɔeɛ fam. Ɛso nnɔbaeɛ no na kuropɔn no adwumayɛfoɔ bɛdi.
And the residue in the length, answerable unto the holy oblation, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable unto the holy oblation; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that labor in the city.
19 Kuropɔn no mu adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔyɛ asase no so kua no bɛyɛ wɔn a wɔfiri Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa no mu.
And they that labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall till it.
20 Asase no nyinaa bɛyɛ ahinanan a ne fa biara susu anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum. Wobɛyi kyɛfa kronkron no ne kuropɔn no asase asi nkyɛn sɛ akyɛdeɛ sononko.
All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.
21 “Asase a aka a ɛdeda kyɛfa kronkron ne kuropɔn no asase ho no bɛyɛ ɔhene no dea. Ɛfiri apueeɛ fam a ɛsusu anammɔn mpem aduasa nson ne ahanum no, asase no bɛtrɛ akɔsi apueeɛ fam hyeɛ so, na atɔeɛ fam nso, ɛbɛtrɛ akɔsi atɔeɛ fam hyeɛ so. Nsase mmienu a ɛne mmusuakuo asase no sa soɔ no bɛyɛ ɔhene no dea, na kyɛfa kronkron a asɔredan no kronkronbea ka ho no bɛwɔ wɔn mfimfini.
And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation and of the possession of the city; in front of the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward in front of the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, answerable unto the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy oblation and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
22 Ɛno enti Lewifoɔ no asase ne kuropɔn no asase bɛda ɔhene asase no mfimfini. Ɔhene no asase no bɛda Yuda ne Benyamin ahyeɛ no ntam.
Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be for the prince.
23 “Mmusuakuo a aka no, “Benyamin bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛbɛfiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.
And as for the rest of the tribes: from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin, one [portion].

And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad, one [portion].
28 Gad kyɛfa no hyeɛ a ɛda anafoɔ fam no bɛkɔ anafoɔ fam afiri Tamar akɔ Meriba Kades nsuwansuwa ho, ɛbɛfa Misraim asuwa akɔsi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no.
And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], unto the great sea.
29 “Yei ne asase a wobɛkyekyɛ ama Israel mmusuakuo no sɛ agyapadeɛ, na yeinom bɛyɛ wɔn kyɛfa,” Otumfoɔ Awurade asɛm nie.
This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, saith the Lord Jehovah.
30 “Yeinom ne apono a wɔbɛfa mu apue afiri kuropɔn no mu: “Ɛfiri aseɛ wɔ atifi fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson ne aduonum no,
And these are the egresses of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure;
31 wɔde Israel mmusuakuo dumienu no din bɛtoto kuropɔn apono no. Apono mmiɛnsa a ɛwɔ atifi fam no bɛyɛ Ruben ɛpono, Yuda ɛpono ne Lewi ɛpono.
and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.
32 Apueeɛ fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson ne aduonum no, wɔde apono mmiɛnsa bɛtoto Yosef, Benyamin ne Dan.
And at the east side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one.

And at the south side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure, and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one.

At the west side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one.
35 “Ɛkwan a ɛtwa kuropɔn no nyinaa ho hyia no tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem aduonu nson. “Na ɛfiri saa ɛda no, wɔbɛfrɛ kuropɔn no sɛ, ‘Awurade Wɔ Hɔ.’”
It shall be eighteen thousand [reeds] round about: and the name of the city from that day shall be, Jehovah is there.
