1 Asase a wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbom yɛ Yuda abusuakuo no kɔduruu Edom ɛhyeɛ so wɔ anafoɔ fam, na Sin ɛserɛ so na ɛkɔpem.
This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Iudah by their families: euen to the border of Edom and the wildernesse of Zin, Southward on the Southcoast.

And he went vp thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before time was Kiriath-sepher.
16 Kaleb kaa sɛ, “Obiara a ɔbɛto ahyɛ Kiriat-Sefer so na wafa no, mede me babaa Aksa bɛma no aware.”
Then Caleb sayd, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, euen to him wil I giue Achsah my daughter to wife.
17 Ɛnna Kaleb nua Kenas babarima Otniel dii so enti, Aksa bɛyɛɛ Otniel yere.

And as she went in to him, she moued him, to aske of her father a fielde: and she lighted off her asse, and Caleb sayd vnto her, What wilt thou?
19 Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Hyira me bio. Woayɛ adom ama me Asase wɔ Negeb; ma me nsuwansuwa asase nso.” Enti, Kaleb maa no atifi ne anafoɔ fam nsuwansuwa asase.
Then she answered, Giue me a blessing: for thou hast giuen mee the South countrey: giue me also springs of water. And hee gaue her the springs aboue and the springs beneath.
