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.

And the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah, for their families, is unto the border of Edom; the wilderness of Zin southward, at the extremity of the south;

2 Anafoɔ fam ɛhyeɛ no hyɛɛ aseɛ wɔ Nkyene Ɛpo no mpoano a ɛwɔ anafoɔ fam,

and to them the south border is at the extremity of the salt sea, from the bay which is looking southward;

and it hath gone out unto the south to Maaleh-Akrabbim, and passed over to Zin, and gone up on the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and passed over [to] Hezron, and gone up to Adar, and turned round to Karkaa,

and the border hath gone up [to] Beth-Hoglah, and passed over on the north of Beth-Arabah, and the border hath gone up [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben:

7 Ɛfiri hɔ a, ɛkɔfa Akɔr bɔnhwa no mu kɔka Debir, na ɛdane wɔ atifi fam kyerɛ Gilgal, a ɛtwam firi Adumim nsianeɛ mu wɔ anafoɔ fam wɔ bɔnhwa no nkyɛn mu. Ɛfiri hɔ a, ɛhyeɛ no tene kɔsi En-Semes nsuo no ano, na akɔpem En-Rogel.

and the border hath gone up towards Debir from the valley of Achor, and northward looking unto Gilgal, which [is] over-against the ascent of Adummim, which [is] on the south of the brook, and the border hath passed over unto the waters of En-Shemesh, and its outgoings have been unto En-Rogel;

and the border hath gone round from Baalah westward, unto mount Seir, and passed over unto the side of mount Jearim (it [is] Chesalon), on the north, and gone down [to] Beth-Shemesh, and passed over to Timnah;

11 Ɛhyeɛ no kɔ ara kɔsi bepɔ no nsianeɛ a ɛwɔ Ekron atifi fam, baabi a ɛdane hwɛ Sikron ne Baala bepɔ no. Ɛtra Yabneel na akɔpem Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no.

12 Na atɔeɛ fam ɛhyeɛ no nso ne Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no mpoanompoano. Yeinom ne mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Yuda mmusuakuo no ahyeɛ.

And the west border [is] to the great sea, and [its] border; this [is] the border of the sons of Judah round about for their families.

13 Awurade hyɛɛ Yosua sɛ ɔmfa Yuda asase no bi mma Yefune babarima Kaleb. Enti, wɔde kuropɔn Arba (a ɛyɛ Hebron) a wɔde too Anak tete agya no maa no.

And to Caleb son of Jephunneh hath he given a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah, according to the command of Jehovah to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba, father of Anak — it [is] Hebron.

14 Na Kaleb tuu Sesai, Ahiman ne Talmai a wɔyɛ Anak asefoɔ no firii hɔ.

And Caleb is dispossessing thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, children of Anak,

15 Afei, ɔko tiaa nnipa a na wɔte kuro Debir (a kane no na wɔfrɛ no Kiriat-Sefer) no.

and he goeth up thence unto the inhabitants of Debir; and the name of Debir formerly is Kirjath-Sepher.

16 Kaleb kaa sɛ, “Obiara a ɔbɛto ahyɛ Kiriat-Sefer so na wafa no, mede me babaa Aksa bɛma no aware.”

And Caleb saith, 'He who smiteth Kirjath-Sephar, and hath captured it — I have given to him Achsah my daughter for a wife.'

17 Ɛnna Kaleb nua Kenas babarima Otniel dii so enti, Aksa bɛyɛɛ Otniel yere.

And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, doth capture it, and he giveth to him Achsah his daughter for a wife.

18 Aksa waree Otniel no, ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ɔmmisa nʼagya Kaleb na ɔmfa asase no bi nka ho. Aksa firii nʼafunumu so sii fam no, Kaleb bisaa no sɛ, “Asɛm bɛn? Ɛdeɛn na menyɛ mma wo?”

And it cometh to pass, in her coming in, that she persuadeth him to ask from her father a field, and she lighteth from off the ass, and Caleb saith to her, 'What — to thee?'

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.

And she saith, 'Give to me a blessing; when the land of the south thou hast given me, then thou hast given to me springs of waters;' and he giveth to her the upper springs and the lower springs.
