Yosua 13
1 Ɛberɛ a Yosua bɔɔ akɔkoraa no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Worebɔ akɔkoraa nso nsase pii wɔ hɔ a ɛsɛ sɛ woko di so.
Now, Joshua, was old, advanced in days, —so then Yahweh said unto him—Thou, art old, advanced in days, and, much the larger part of the land, remaineth to be possessed.
2 “Ɛsɛ sɛ nnipa no tena Filistifoɔ ne Gesur,
This, is the land that remaineth, —all the regions of the Philistines, and all the Geshuri;
3 “nsase a na ɛyɛ Kanaanfoɔ dea no so. Saa asase yi firi asuo Sihor a ɛda Misraim ɛhyeɛ so a ɛtene fa atifi fam kɔsi Ekron ɛhyeɛ so,
from the Shihor which faceth Egypt, even as far as the boundary of Ekron, northward, to the Canaanites, is it counted, —five princes of Philistines, the Gazites, and the Ashdodites, the Ashkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites, also the Avvim
4 a Filistifoɔ nkuropɔn enum a ɛyɛ Gasa, Asdod, Askelon, Gat ne Ekron nso ka ho. Awifoɔ asase a ɛda anafoɔ fam no nso, wɔnnko nnii so. Atifi fam nso, wɔnnko nnii saa nsase yi so; Kanaan asase nyinaa a Meara a ɛyɛ Sidonfoɔ dea no, de kɔsi Afek, kɔduru Amorifoɔ ɛhyeɛ so
on the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which belongeth to the Zidonians, as far as Aphek, —as far as the boundary of the Amorites;
5 ne Gebalfoɔ asase ne Lebanon nyinaa wɔ apueeɛ fam, de firi Baal-Gad a ɛda Hermon bepɔ ase, de kɔsi Hamat fam.
and the land of the Gebalites, and all the Lebanon, to the rising of the sun, from Baal-gad, under Mount Hermon, —as far as the entering in of Hamath:
6 “Mmepɔ asase a ɛfiri Lebanon kɔsi Misrefot-Maim nyinaa a Sidonfoɔ nsase nyinaa ka ho. Mɛtu saa nnipa no nyinaa afiri asase no so na mede ama Israelfoɔ. Enti hwɛ na fa saa asase no ma Israelfoɔ sɛ agyapadeɛ sononko sɛdeɛ mahyɛ wo no.
all the inhabitants of the hill country, from the Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim—all the Zidonians, I myself, will dispossess them from before the sons of Israel, —nevertheless, assign thou it by lot unto Israel, for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
7 Fa saa asase yi nyinaa sɛ Israelfoɔ agyapadeɛ wɔ ɛberɛ a worekyekyɛ mu ama mmusuakuo nkron no ne Manase abusua fa no.”
Now, therefore, apportion this land as an inheritance, unto the nine tribes, —and the half tribe of Manasseh.
8 Manase abusua no mu fa ne Rubenfoɔ ne Gadfoɔ deɛ, na wɔanya wɔn agyapadeɛ wɔ Yordan apueeɛ fam, ɛfiri sɛ na Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade ɔsomfoɔ no de saa asase no ama wɔn dada.
With them, the, Reubenites and the Gadites, received their inheritance, —which Moses gave them beyond the Jordan, eastward, as Moses the servant of Yahweh gave unto them:
9 Wɔn asase no firi Aroer a ɛda Arnon Subɔnhwa no ano (ne kuro a ɛda nsuka no mfimfini) de kɔ ɛserɛ a ɛtoa Medeba so kɔsi Dibon.
from Aroer, which is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon, and the city, which is in the midst of the ravine, and all the table-land of Medeba, as far as Dibon;
10 Amorifoɔhene Sihon a ɔdii adeɛ wɔ Hesbon kɔsi Amonfoɔ ɛhyeɛ so nkuro nyinaa nso ka ho.
and all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, —as far as the boundary of the sons of Ammon;
11 Gilead, asase a ɛwɔ Gesur ne Maaka ahemman mu, Bepɔ Hermon nyinaa, Basan nyinaa de kɔsi Saleka ka ho,
and Gilead, and the boundary of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan, as far as Salecah;
12 ɛnna Basanhene Og a ɔdii ɔhene wɔ Astarot ne Edrei nsase nyinaa nso ka ho. Ɔhene Og yɛ Rafatni a ɔtwa toɔ, ɛfiri sɛ na Mose ne wɔn ako apamo wɔn.
all the kingdom of Og, in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, —he, being left of the remnant of the giants; and Moses smote them and dispossessed them;
13 Nanso, Israelfoɔ no antu Gesurfoɔ ne Maakafoɔ enti wɔtenaa Israelfoɔ no mu de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
the sons of Israel, however, did not dispossess, the Geshurites or the Maacathites, —but Geshur and Maacath have remained in the midst of Israel until this day.
14 Na Lewi abusuakuo no deɛ, wamma wɔn agyapadeɛ biara. Wɔn agyapadeɛ firi afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔhye wɔ afɔrebukyia so ma Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn no.
Howbeit, unto the tribe of Levi, gave he no inheritance, —the altar-flames of Yahweh God of Israel, are his inheritance, as he spake unto him.
15 Mose de saa beaeɛ yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Ruben abusuakuo mu.
Thus then Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the tribe of the sons of Reuben by their families;
16 Wɔn asase no firi Aroer a ɛda Arnon Subɔnhwa no ano (ne kuro a ɛda nsuka no mfimfini) de kɔ ɛserɛ a ɛtoa Medeba so.
and their boundary was from Aroer, that is on the edge of the ravine of Arnon and the city which is in the midst of the ravine and all the table-land by Medeba;
17 Nkuro ne nkuraase a ɛkeka hoɔ nie: Hesbon ne nkuro a ɛdeda ɛserɛ so te sɛ Dibon, Bamot-Baal ne Bet-Baal-Meon,
Heshbon and all her cities which are on the table-land, —Dibon and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon;
18 Yahas, Kedemot, Mefaat,
and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Maphaath;
19 Kiriataim, Sibma ne Seret-Sahar, a ɛdeda bɔnhwa no kokoɔ so,
and Kiriathaim and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar on the mount of the vale;
20 Bet-Peor, Pisga nsianeɛ mu ne Bet-Yesimot.
and Beth-peor, and the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth;
21 Nkuro a ɛwɔ tata so nyinaa ne Sihon ahemman nyinaa nso ka Ruben asase no ho. Sihon yɛ Amorifoɔhene a na ɔdi adeɛ wɔ Hesbon, deɛ Mose kumm no ne Midian ahemfo a wɔn ne Ewi, Rekem, Sur, Hur, Reba ne ahenemma a wɔwɔ mpɔtam hɔ a wɔne Sihon yɛ baako.
and all the cities of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, —whom Moses smote—with the princes of Midian, Evi and Rekem and Zur and Hur and Reba, dukes of Sihon dwelling in the land;
22 Israelfoɔ no kumm Beor babarima nkonyaayifoɔ bi a na wɔfrɛ no Balaam.
Balaam also son of Beor, the diviner, did the sons of Israel slay with the sword among their slain.
23 Yordan Asubɔnten no yɛ Ruben asase no ɛhyeɛ wɔ atɔeɛ fam. Wɔde nkuro ne nkuraase a ɛwɔ saa beaeɛ yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Ruben abusuakuo no mu sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.
And so the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and district. This, is the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
24 Mose de saa asase yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Gad abusuakuo mu:
And Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the tribe of Gad, unto the sons of Gad by their families;
25 Wɔn asase no yɛ Yaser, Gilead nkuro nyinaa, ne Amon asase no fa, kɔsi Aroer kuro a ɛwɔ Raba atɔeɛ fam pɛɛ.
and their boundary was—Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the sons of Ammon, —as far as Aroer, which faceth Rabbah;
26 Na ɛfiri Hesbon de kɔsi Ramat-Mispe ne Betonim de firi Mahanaim de kɔsi Debir.
and from Heshbon as far as Ramath-mizpeh, and Botonim, —and from Mahanaim as far as the boundary of Debir;
27 Bɔnhwa no mu na na Bet-Haram ne Bet-Nimra ne Sukot ne Safon ne Hesbonhene Sihon ahemman no nkaeɛ wɔ; Asubɔnten Yordan na na ɛyɛ atɔeɛ fam hɔ ɛhyeɛ na ɛtoa so de kɔsi Galilea ɛpo no mu.
and in the valley—Beth-haram and Beth-nimrah and Succoth and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, the Jordan and district, —as far as the end of the sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan eastward.
28 Nkuro ne nkuraaseɛ a ɛwɔ saa beaeɛ yi na wɔde maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Gad abusuakuo mu sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.
This, is the inheritance of the sons of Gad, by their families, —the cities and the villages thereof.
29 Mose de saa beaeɛ yi maa mmusua a ɛwɔ Manase abusuakuo fa no mu.
And Moses gave [an inheritance] unto the half tribe of Manasseh, —so it belonged to the half tribe of the sons of Manasseh by their families;
30 Na wɔn asase no firi Mahanaim, Basan nyinaa, ɔhene Og kane tete ahemman nyinaa ne nkuro aduosia a ɛwɔ Yair a ɛwɔ Basan no.
and their boundary was—from Mahanaim all Bashan all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan and all the Encampments of Jair which are in Bashan three-score cities;
31 Gilead fa ne ɔhene Og ahenkuro, Astarot ne Edrei ka ho. Wɔde yeinom nyinaa maa Makir a na ɔyɛ Manase babarima no asefoɔ.
and, half Gilead and Ashtaroth and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, pertained to the sons of Machir son of Manasseh, to half the sons of Machir by their families.
32 Yeinom yɛ nkyekyɛmu a Mose yɛɛ ɛberɛ a na ɔwɔ Moab tata so, wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan akyi, Yeriko apueeɛ fam.
These, are [the portions] which Moses gave for inheritance, in the waste plains of Moab, —over the Jordan by Jericho eastward.
33 Nanso, Mose amma Lewi abusuakuo no asase biara, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn ahyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔno na ɔbɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.
But, unto the tribe of Levi, Moses gave no inheritance, —Yahweh God of Israel, he, was their inheritance, as he spake unto them.
