< Yosua 17 >
1 Wɔde asase no fa a ɛda atɔeɛ fam no maa Manase abusuakuo no fa a ɔyɛ Yosef babarima panin no asefoɔ. Na wɔde Gilead ne Basan a ɛda Yordan apueeɛ fam no ama Makir abusua no dada, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɔyɛ ɔkofoni kɛseɛ. (Na Makir yɛ Manase babarima panin ne Gilead agya.)
2 Asase a ɛda Yordan atɔeɛ fam no, wɔde maa mmusua nkaeɛ a wɔwɔ Manase abusuakuo mu a wɔn ne: Abieser, Helek, Asriel, Sekem, Hefer ne Semida.
3 Nanso, Hefer babarima Selofehad a na ɔno nso yɛ Manase, Makir ne Gilead aseni no na ɔnni mmammarima. Mmom, na ɔwɔ mmammaa baanum. Na wɔn edin de Mahla, Noa, Hogla, Milka ne Tirsa.
4 Saa mmaa yi baa ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne Nun babarima Yosua ne Israel ntuanofoɔ no nkyɛn bɛkaa sɛ, “Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔmma yɛn ne mmarima a wɔwɔ yɛn abusuakuo mu no agyapadeɛ.” Enti, Yosua maa wɔne wɔn agyanom agyapadeɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no.
5 Ɛno enti Manase agyapadeɛ bɛyɛɛ nsasetea edu a Gilead ne Basan a ɛdeda Asubɔnten Yordan agya no ka ho,
6 ɛfiri sɛ, Manase asefoɔ a wɔyɛ mmaa no ne wɔn a wɔyɛ mmarima nyaa agyapadeɛ. (Wɔde Gilead asase no maa Manase asefoɔ a wɔyɛ mmarima nkaeɛ no).
7 Manase abusuakuo no ɛhyeɛ no firi Aser ɛhyeɛ ano kɔsi Mikmetat, a ɛwɔ Sekem apueeɛ fam. Afei, ɛhyeɛ no firi Mikmetat kɔ anafoɔ fam, kɔsi nnipa a wɔte bɛn Tapua asuo no ho no.
8 (Asase a atwa Tapua ho ahyia no yɛ Manase dea, nanso, Tapua kuro no a ɛda Manase mantam no ɛhyeɛ so no yɛ Efraim abusuakuo no dea.)
9 Manase ɛhyeɛ no firi Tapua asuo no, nenam Kana suka atifi kɔsi Ɛpo Kɛseɛ no. (Nkuro bebree a ɛwɔ Manase mantam mu no yɛ Efraim abusuakuo no dea.)
10 Asase a ɛda suka no anafoɔ fam no yɛ Efraim dea, na deɛ ɛda atifi fam nso wɔ Manase, na Ɛpo kɛseɛ no yɛ Manase asase no ɛhyeɛ wɔ atɔeɛ fam. Aser asase no da Manase deɛ no atifi fam, na Isakar asase no nso da apueeɛ fam.
11 Wɔde saa nkuro a ɛwɔ Isakar ne Aser mantam mu no maa Manase: Bet-Sean, Yibleam, Dor (a ɛyɛ Nafɔt Dor), En-Dor, Taanak ne Megido ne wɔn nkuraaseɛ.
12 Nanso, Manase asefoɔ no antumi amfa saa nkuro yi. Wɔantumi antu Kanaanfoɔ a na wɔte hɔ no.
13 Akyire yi, ɛberɛ a Israelfoɔ nyaa ahoɔden no, wɔhyɛɛ Kanaanfoɔ no ma wɔyɛɛ adwuma sɛ nkoa. Nanso, wɔampamo wɔn amfiri asase no so.
14 Yosef asefoɔ baa Yosua nkyɛn bɛbisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woama yɛn asaseta baako pɛ wɔ ɛberɛ a Awurade ama yɛn ase adɔre?”
15 Yosua buaa sɛ, “Sɛ Efraim bepɔ asase no sua ma mo dea, monkɔdɔ kwaeɛ a Perisifoɔ ne Refaimfoɔ te so no.”
16 Na wɔbuaa sɛ, “Bepɔ so asase no sua ma yɛn, na Kanaanfoɔ a wɔwɔ bepɔ no ase nsase a atwa Bet-Sean ne Yesreel bɔnhwa ho ahyia no wɔ nnadeɛ nteaseɛnam na wɔn ho yɛ den dodo ma yɛn.”
17 Na Yosua ka kyerɛɛ Efraim ne Manase mmusuakuo a wɔyɛ Yosef asefoɔ no sɛ, “Esiane sɛ mo dɔɔso na mo ho yɛ den enti, mobɛnya nsasetam no bi aka baako no ho.
18 Wɔde kwaeɛ a ɛda bepɔ no so no bɛka mo ho. Monnɔ asase no sɛdeɛ mobɛtumi biara na montena hɔ. Ɛwom sɛ Kanaanfoɔ no ho yɛ den na wɔwɔ nnadeɛ nteaseɛnam, nanso mewɔ awerɛhyɛmu sɛ mobɛtumi apamo wɔn afiri bɔnhwa no mu.”
