“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.

“By the border of Reuben, from the east side to 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.
“By the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the offering which you shall offer, twenty-five thousand reeds in width, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side to the west side; and the sanctuary shall be in the middle 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 offering that you shall offer to the LORD shall be twenty-five thousand reeds in length, and ten thousand in width.
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.
For these, even for the priests, shall be the holy offering: towards the north twenty-five thousand in length, and towards the west ten thousand in width, and towards the east ten thousand in width, and towards the south twenty-five thousand in length; and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the middle 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.
It shall be for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my instruction, who didn’t go 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.
It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land, a most holy thing, 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.
“Alongside the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand cubits in length and ten thousand in width. All the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the width 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.
They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first fruits of the land be alienated, for it is holy to 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
“The five thousand cubits that are left in the width, in front of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for pasture lands; and the city shall be in the middle of it.
16 na ne kɛseɛ bɛyɛ anammɔn mpem nsia ahanson aduonum wɔ atifi fam, anafoɔ fam, apueeɛ fam ne atɔeɛ fam.
These shall be its measurements: 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.
The city shall have pasture lands: towards the north two hundred and fifty, and towards the south two hundred and fifty, and towards the east two hundred and fifty, and towards the west two hundred and fifty.

The remainder of the length, alongside the holy offering, shall be ten thousand eastward and ten thousand westward; and it shall be alongside the holy offering. Its increase shall be for food to those who labour in the city.
19 Kuropɔn no mu adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔyɛ asase no so kua no bɛyɛ wɔn a wɔfiri Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa no mu.
Those who labour in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate 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 offering shall be a square of twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand. You shall offer it as a holy offering, 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.

“The remainder shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy offering and of the possession of the city; in front of the twenty-five thousand of the offering towards the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand towards the west border, alongside the portions, it shall be for the prince. The holy offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the middle of it.
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 middle of that which is the prince’s, between the border of Judah and the border 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 to the west side, Benjamin, one portion.
24 Simeon bɛnya kyɛfa baako, ɛne Benyamin asase no bɛbɔ hyeɛ afiri apueeɛ fam akɔ atɔeɛ fam.

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.
“By the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, to the brook, to 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 you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, says the Lord GOD.
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,
“These are the exits 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 named after 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.

“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 in circumference; and the name of the city from that day shall be, ‘The LORD is there.’
