Now these are the names of the tribes: At the edge, on the north side, along the road on the way to Chethlon, as far as Chamath, Chazar-'enan, the boundary of Damascus northward, alongside of Chamath, there shall be from the east side to the west for Dan one portion.

2 Aser bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛne Dan kyɛfa no bɛbɔ hyeɛ firi apueeɛ fam akɔsi atɔeɛ fam.

And by the boundary of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, for 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 boundary of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the oblation which ye shall set aside of five and twenty thousand rods in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, 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 set aside unto the Lord shall be in length five and twenty thousand [rods], and in breadth ten thousand.

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 to these shall belong the holy oblation, —namely to the priests, toward the north, five and twenty thousand rods [in length], and on the west ten thousand in breadth, and on the east ten thousand in breadth, and on the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst of it.

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.

Unto the priests, that are sanctified, of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my charge, who 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.

To them shall thus belong the portion set aside of the oblation of the land as a most holy thing by the boundary 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 the Levites shall have alongside the boundary of the priests five and twenty thousand rods in length, and in breadth ten thousand; the whole in length five and twenty thousand, and in 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.

But they shall not sell aught thereof, or exchange, or alienate this first portion of the land; for it is holy unto the Lord.

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 rods, that are left in the breadth, with a length of five and twenty thousand, shall be an unconsecrated land for the city, for dwelling, and for an open space: 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 its measures: The north side four thousand and five hundred [rods], 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 open space of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty [rods], 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 produce of the residue in length alongside the holy oblation ten thousand rods eastward, and ten thousand westward, that which is alongside the holy oblation, shall be for food unto the laborers of the city.

19 Kuropɔn no mu adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔyɛ asase no so kua no bɛyɛ wɔn a wɔfiri Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa no mu.

And the laborers of the city, men taken 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, five and twenty thousand [rods] by five and twenty thousand square, shall ye set apart as the holy oblation, 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 belong to the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, alongside of the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the eastern boundary, and westward alongside the five and twenty thousand toward the western boundary, alongside the portions [of the tribes]; for the prince [shall it be]: and so shall be 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.

And both the possession of the Levites, and the possession of the city, shall be in the midst of that which belongeth to the prince: between the boundary of Judah and the boundary of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.

23 “Mmusuakuo a aka no, “Benyamin bɛnya kyɛfa baako; ɛbɛfiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.

As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, shall be for Benjamin one portion.

24 Simeon bɛnya kyɛfa baako, ɛne Benyamin asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ afiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.

And by the boundary of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, for Simeon one portion.

And by the boundary of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, for 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 boundary of Gad, on the southern side toward the south, shall be the boundary from Thamar unto the waters of contention of Kadesh, unto the brook by 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 for an inheritance to the tribes of Israel, and these are their allotted divisions, saith the Lord Eternal.

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 outlines of the city: On the north side, five hundred and four thousand rods, by the 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 of the gates of the city, being after the names of the tribes of Israel, shall be three gates on the north: 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 on the east side, five hundred and four thousand rods, with three gates: namely, the gate of Joseph one, the gate of Benjamin one, the gate of Dan one.

33 Anafoɔ fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson aduonum no, wɔde apono mmiɛnsa no bɛtoto Simeon, Isakar ne Sebulon.

And the south side, five hundred and four thousand rode by the measure, with three gates: the gate of Simeon one, the gate of Issachar one, the gate of Zebulun one.

34 Atɔeɛ fam ɔfasuo a ne tentene yɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson aduonum no, wɔde apono mmiɛnsa bɛtoto Gad, Aser ne Naftali.

The west side, five hundred and four thousand rods, 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.’”

All around it shall be eighteen thousand rods: and the name of the city shall be from that day “The Lord is there.”
