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,

And much cattle hath been to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad, very many; and they see the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, and lo, the place [is] a place [for] cattle;

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

and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, come in and speak unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the company, 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.

the land which Jehovah hath smitten before the company 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.”

And they say, 'If we have found grace in thine eyes, let this land be given to thy servants for a possession; cause us not to pass over the 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 saith to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, 'Do your brethren go in to the battle, and ye — do 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 sons of Israel from passing over unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them?

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

'Thus did your fathers in my sending 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.

and they go up unto the valley of Eshcol, and see the land, and discourage the heart of the sons of Israel so as not to go in unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them;

10 Na Awurade bo fuu wɔn enti ɔkaa ntam sɛ,

and the anger of Jehovah burneth in that day, and He sweareth, 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.

They do not see — the men who are coming up out of Egypt from a son of twenty years and upward — the ground which I have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, for they have not been fully after 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 son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua son of Nun, for they have been fully after Jehovah;

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

and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He causeth them to wander in the wilderness forty years, until the consumption of all the generation which is doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah.

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 lo, ye have risen in the stead of your fathers, an increase of men — sinners, to add yet to the fury of the anger of Jehovah toward 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.”

when ye turn back from after Him, then He hath added yet to leave him in the wilderness, and ye have done corruptly to all this people.'

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

And they come nigh unto him, and say, 'Folds for the flock we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants;

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.

and we — we are armed hasting before the sons of Israel till that we have brought them in unto their place; and our infants have dwelt in the cities of defence because of the inhabitants of the land;

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

we do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of Israel have inherited each his inheritance,

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

for we do not inherit with them beyond the Jordan and yonder, for our inheritance hath come unto us beyond the Jordan at the [sun] -rising.'

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

And Moses saith unto them, 'If ye do this thing: if ye are armed before Jehovah for battle,

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

and every armed one of you hath passed over the Jordan before Jehovah, till his dispossessing 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 hath been subdued before Jehovah — then afterwards ye do turn back, and have been acquitted by Jehovah, and by Israel; and this land hath been to you for a possession before Jehovah.

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.

'And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah, and know ye your sin, that it doth find you;

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

build for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do ye.'

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

And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto Moses, saying, 'Thy servants do as my lord is commanding;

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

our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts, are there in cities of Gilead,

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

and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host, before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.'

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

And Moses commandeth concerning them Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons 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 saith unto them, 'If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over with you the Jordan, every one armed for battle, before Jehovah, and the land hath been subdued before you, then ye have given to 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.”

and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.'

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

And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying, 'That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants — so we do;

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

we — we pass over armed before Jehovah [to] the land of Canaan, and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance beyond the Jordan.'

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 giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the borders, the cities of the land round about.

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

And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,

35 Atrot-Sofan, Yaser Yogbeha,

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

and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defence, and sheepfolds.

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

And the sons of Reuben have build Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,

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

and Nebo, and Baal-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah, and they call by [these] names the names of the cities which they have 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 sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who [is] in it;

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

and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelleth 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 son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their towns, and calleth them 'Towns of 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 hath gone and captureth Kenath, and its villages, and calleth it Nobah, by his own name.
