4 Mose 32

1 Na Ruben ne Gad mmusuakuo no wɔ nyɛmmoa pii, enti wohunuu sɛ Yaser ne Gilead nsase no bɛyɛ ama wɔn nnwan ne anantwie no,

Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that behold, the place [was] a place for cattle;

2 wɔkɔɔ Mose ne ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa ne nnipa no ntuanofoɔ no nkyɛn. Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ,

The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the princes of the congregation, saying,

3 “Atarot, Dibon, Yaser, Nimra, Hesbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo ne Beon.

Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

4 Saa nsase yi nyinaa, Awurade ako, agye ama Israelfoɔ. Ɛbɛyɛ ama yɛn nnwan ne yɛn anantwie.

[Even] the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, [is] a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:

5 Sɛ yɛanya adom wɔ mo anim a, yɛsrɛ mo momfa saa asase yi mma yɛn sɛ yɛn kyɛfa na monnyae Asubɔnten Yordan fa nohoa a mopɛ sɛ mode ma yɛn no.”

Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession, [and] bring us not over Jordan.

6 Mose nso bisaa Rubenfoɔ ne Gadfoɔ no sɛ, “Mokyerɛ sɛ, mopɛ sɛ motena ha wɔ ɛberɛ a mo nuanom atwa mu rekɔko?

And Moses said to the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?

7 Mopɛ sɛ mobu nnipa a aka no aba mu ma wɔsane sɛ wɔrenkɔ asase a Awurade de ama wɔn no so no?

And why discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?

8 Ade koro yi ara na mo agyanom yɛeɛ. Mesomaa wɔn firii Kades-Barnea sɛ wɔnkɔsra asase no

Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.

9 nanso ɛberɛ a wɔwiee nsra no na wɔfiri Eskol subɔnhwa mu baeɛ no, wɔbuu nnipa no aba mu sɛ wɔrenkɔ Awurade Bɔhyɛ Asase no so.

For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.

10 Na Awurade bo fuu wɔn enti ɔkaa ntam sɛ,

And the LORD'S anger was kindled the same time, and he swore, saying,

11 wɔn a wɔayi wɔn afiri Misraim asase so no, wɔn mu biara nni hɔ a wadi boro mfirinhyia aduonu a ɔbɛhunu asase a ɔhyɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ho bɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔanni ne mmara so.

Surely none of the men that came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:

12 Agye Kenesini Yefune babarima Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua na wɔnka ho, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔde wɔn akoma nyinaa dii Awurade akyi, hyɛɛ nnipa nkuran sɛ wɔnkɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so.

Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.

13 Awurade ma yɛkyinkyinii ɛserɛ no so hɔ mfirinhyia aduanan kɔsii sɛ saa awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ amumuyɛfoɔ no nyinaa wuwuiɛ.

And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the sight of the LORD was consumed.

14 “Nanso, monhwɛ, abɔnefoɔ, moreyɛ saa bɔne koro no ara bi. Esiane sɛ mo dɔɔso enti, Awurade bo a afu Israel no ano bɛyɛ den sen kane no.

And behold, ye have risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD towards Israel.

15 Sɛ motwe mo ho firi Onyankopɔn ho sei a, ɔbɛma nnipa no atena ɛserɛ so hɔ akyɛre na sɛ nnome bi ba wɔn so a, ɛho asodie da mo so.”

For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and he will destroy all this people.

16 Wɔteaam sɛ, “Ɛnte saa koraa! Yɛbɛyɛ yɛn nnwammuo na yɛakyekyere nkuro akɛseɛ asi nketewa no anan

And they came near to him, and said, We will build sheep-folds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:

17 na yɛn ankasa de akodeɛ bɛhyehyɛ yɛn ho adi Israelfoɔ a aka no anim kɔsi sɛ yɛde wɔn bɛba asomdwoeɛ mu ama wɔabɛfa wɔn agyapadeɛ. Na deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkyekyere nkuro a yɛbɛgye afasuo afa ho ama yɛn nkurɔfoɔ atena mu na ɛhɔfoɔ no ankɔto anhyɛ wɔn so.

But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them to their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities, because of the inhabitants of the land.

18 Sɛ Israelfoɔ no nsa nkaa wɔn agyapadeɛ no a, yɛrentena ha.

We will not return to our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.

19 Yɛmpɛ Yordan ho asase biara. Mmom, yɛpɛ asase a ɛda apueeɛ fam hɔ no.”

For we will not inherit with them on the other side of Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance hath fallen to us on this side of Jordan eastward.

20 Mose kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ. Sɛ mobɛyɛ sɛdeɛ moaka no, na mode akodeɛ ahyehyɛ mo ho ama Awurade ɔko no,

And Moses said to them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,

21 na mode mo akodɔm no atware Yordan kɔsi sɛ Awurade bɛpamo nʼatamfoɔ no a,

And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,

22 ɛnneɛ, sɛ asase no ho asɛm dwo brɛoo wɔ Awurade anim a, motumi sane ba. Ɛba saa a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, moayɛ mo asɛdeɛ ama Awurade ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa. Na asase a ɛda apueeɛ no nso, Awurade de bɛma mo.

And the land shall be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.

23 “Sɛ moanni asɛm a moaka no so a, na moayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, na sɛ ɛba saa a, monhunu sɛ, ɛho asotwe bɛba mo so.

But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.

24 Monkɔ so nkyekyere nkuro mma mo fiefoɔ na monyɛ nnwammuo mma mo nnwan na monni asɛm a mokaeɛ no nyinaa so.”

Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.

25 Ruben ne Gad nkurɔfoɔ no kaa sɛ, “Yɛbɛdi wʼahyɛdeɛ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.

26 Yɛn mma, yɛn yerenom, yɛn nnwan ne yɛn anantwie bɛtena Gilead nkuropɔn mu.

Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:

27 Nanso, yɛn a wɔakyere yɛn sɛ asraafoɔ no bɛko ama Awurade sɛdeɛ woaka no.”

But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.

28 Enti, Mose penee so ka kyerɛɛ Eleasa, Yosua ne mpanimfoɔ a wɔtuatua Israel mmusuakuo ano no sɛ,

So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:

29 “Sɛ Gad ne Ruben abusuakuo mu mmarima nyinaa a wɔakyere wɔn ahyɛ sraa mu sɛ wɔnkɔko mma Awurade no ne me kɔ Yordan na sɛ wɔkɔko di nkonim wɔ hɔ a, momfa Gilead asase no mma wɔn;

And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed for battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:

30 na sɛ wɔankɔ a, ɛnneɛ wɔmpene so mfa nsase a mowɔ wɔ Kanaan asase so no bi.”

But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.

31 Gad ne Ruben abusuafoɔ kaa bio sɛ, “Yɛbɛdi Awurade asɛm so;

And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said to thy servants, so will we do.

32 yɛde akodeɛ bɛhyehyɛ yɛn ho adi Awurade akyi akɔ Kanaan nanso, yɛn ara yɛn asase bɛda Yordan fa ha.”

We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan [may be] ours.

33 Enti, Mose maa wɔde Amorifoɔhene Sihon ne Basanhene Og nsasetam ne wɔn nkuro akɛseɛ maa Gad, Ruben ne Yosef babarima Manase mmusuakuo.

And Moses gave to them, [even] to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and to half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with its cities in the borders, [even] the cities of the country around.

34 Gad nkurɔfoɔ na wɔkyekyeree saa nkuro yi: Dibon, Atarot, Aroer.

And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

35 Atrot-Sofan, Yaser Yogbeha,

And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,

36 Bet-Nimra ne Betharan. Na ɛyɛ nkuro a nnwan wɔ mu yie.

And Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities: and folds for sheep.

37 Ruben mmammarima na wɔkyekyeree saa nkuro a ɛdidi so yi: Hesbon, Eleale Kiriataim,

And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

38 Nebo, Baal-Meon ne Sibma. Wɔtotoo nkuro a wɔakyekyere no edin foforɔ.

And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Shibmah: and gave other names to the cities which they built.

39 Afei, Makir asefoɔ a wɔfiri Manase abusuakuo mu kɔɔ Gilead kɔko dii hɔ so pamoo Amorifoɔ a saa ɛberɛ no na wɔte hɔ no nyinaa.

And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite who [was] in it.

40 Enti, Mose de Gilead maa Makirfoɔ, Manase asefoɔ, ma wɔtenaa hɔ.

And Moses gave Gilead to Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt in it.

41 Manase abusuakuo mu nnipa foforɔ bi a wɔfiri Yair nso tenatenaa Gilead nkuro bebree so, sesaa beaeɛ a wɔwɔ hɔ no din frɛɛ hɔ Hafrotyair.

And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took its small towns, and called them Havoth-jair.

42 Ɔbarima bi a ne din de Noba dii asraafoɔ bi anim de wɔn kɔɔ Kenat ne ne nkuraaseɛ kɔbɔɔ wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ hɔ, enti ɔde ne din Noba too saa beaeɛ hɔ.

And Nobah went and took Kenath, and its villages, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
