Numbers 32
1 Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a great number of cattle: and when they saw that the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead was a good place for cattle;
Na Ruben ne Gad mmusuakuw no wɔ nyɛmmoa pii, enti wuhuu sɛ Yaser ne Gilead nsase no beye ama wɔn nguan ne anantwi no.
2 The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the meeting,
Enti wɔkɔɔ Mose ne ɔsɔfo Eleasar ne nnipa no ntuanofo no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se,
3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
“Atarot, Dibon, Yaser, Nimra, Hesbon, Eleale, Sebam, Nebo ne Beon yɛ
4 The land which the Lord gave into the hands of the children of Israel, is a land for cattle, and your servants have cattle.
nsase a Awurade ako, agye ama Israelfo na eye ma yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi.
5 And they said, With your approval, let this land be given to your servants as their heritage: do not take us over Jordan.
Sɛ yɛanya adom wɔ mo anim a, yɛsrɛ mo momfa saa asase yi mma yɛn sɛ yɛn kyɛfa na munnyae Asubɔnten Yordan agya nohɔ a mopɛ sɛ mode ma yɛn no.”
6 And Moses said to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben, Are your brothers to go to the war, while you take your rest here?
Mose nso bisaa Rubenfo ne Gadfo no se, “Mokyerɛ sɛ, mopɛ sɛ motena ha bere a mo nuanom atwa mu rekɔko?
7 Why would you take from the children of Israel the desire to go over into the land which the Lord has given them?
Adɛn nti na mopɛ sɛ mubu Israelfo no aba mu ma wɔsan sɛ wɔrenkɔ asase a Awurade de ama wɔn no so no?
8 So did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
Ade koro yi ara na mo agyanom yɛe. Mesomaa wɔn fii Kades-Barnea sɛ wɔnkɔsra asase no.
9 For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they took from the children of Israel the desire to go into the land which the Lord had given them.
Wowiee nsra no na wofi Eskol subon mu bae no, wobuu nnipa no aba mu sɛ wɔnnkɔ asase a Awurade de ama wɔn no so.
10 And at that time the Lord was moved to wrath, and made an oath, saying,
Da no Awurade abufuw sɔree na ɔkaa saa ntam yi:
11 Truly, not one of the men of twenty years old and over who came out of Egypt will see the land which I gave by oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they have not been true to me with all their heart;
‘Esiane sɛ wɔamfi wɔn koma nyinaa mu anni mʼakyi nti wɔn mu biara nni hɔ a bere a wɔrefi Misraim no a na wadi mfe aduonu anaa nea ɛboro saa a no behu asase a mehyɛɛ Abraham, Isak ne Yakob ho bɔ no,
12 But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, the son of Nun: because they have been true to the Lord.
ɔbaako mpo nni hɔ, gye Kenesini Yefune babarima Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua, efisɛ wɔde wɔn koma nyinaa dii Awurade akyi, hyɛɛ nnipa nkuran sɛ wɔnkɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so.’
13 Then the Lord was angry with Israel, and he made them wanderers in the waste land for forty years? till all that generation who had done evil in the eyes of the Lord was dead.
Awurade maa yekyinkyin sare no so hɔ mfirihyia aduanan kosii sɛ saa awo ntoatoaso amumɔyɛfo no nyinaa wuwui.
14 And now you have come to take the place of your fathers, another generation of sinners, increasing the wrath of the Lord against Israel.
“Nanso monhwɛ, abɔnefo, moregyina mo agyanom anan mu ama Awurade bo afuw Israel nea ɛkyɛn so.
15 For if you are turned away from him, he will send them wandering again in the waste land; and you will be the cause of the destruction of all this people.
Sɛ mosan fi nʼakyi a, ɔbɛsan agyaw ne nnipa no nyinaa wɔ sare so hɔ na wɔn sɛe no befi mo.”
16 Then they came to him, and said, We will make safe places for our cattle here, and towns for our little ones;
Wɔteɛɛ mu se, “Ɛnte saa koraa! Yɛbɛyɛ yɛn nguannan na yɛakyekyere nkurow akɛse ama yɛn mmea ne mmofra.
17 But we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel till we have taken them to their place: but our little ones will be safe in the walled towns against the people of the land.
Na yɛn ankasa de akode bɛhyehyɛ yɛn ho adi Israelfo a wɔaka no anim akosi sɛ yɛde wɔn bɛba asomdwoe mu ama wɔabɛfa wɔn agyapade. Na nea edi kan no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkyekye nkurow a yebegye afasu afa ho ama yɛn nkurɔfo atena mu na ɛhɔfo no ankɔtow anhyɛ wɔn so.
18 We will not come back to our houses till every one of the children of Israel has come into his heritage.
Sɛ Israelfo no nyinaa nsa nkaa wɔn agyapade no a, yɛrensan mma yɛn afi mu.
19 For we will not have our heritage with them on the other side of Jordan and forward; because our heritage has come to us on this side of Jordan to the east.
Yɛne wɔn renkyɛ Yordan agya hɔ asase biara, efisɛ yɛanya yɛn agyapade no wɔ Yordan apuei fam hɔ.”
20 Then Moses said to them, If you will do this, arming yourselves to go before the Lord to the war,
Mose kae se, “Sɛ mobɛyɛ sɛnea moaka no, sɛ mobɛhyehyɛ mo ho wɔ Awurade anim ama ɔko,
21 Every armed man of you going across Jordan before the Lord till he has overcome and sent in flight all who are against him,
na mode mo asraafo no atwa Yordan kosi sɛ Awurade bɛpam nʼatamfo no,
22 And the land is under the rule of the Lord: then after that you may come back, having done no wrong to the Lord and to Israel; and this land will be yours for your heritage before the Lord.
na sɛ asase no ho asɛm dwo brɛoo wɔ Awurade anim a, ɛno de mutumi san ba. Ɛba saa a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, moayɛ mo asɛde ama Awurade ne Israelfo nyinaa. Na asase a ɛda apuei no nso, Awurade de bɛma mo.
23 But if you do not do this, then you are sinners against the Lord; and you may be certain that your sin will have its reward.
“Sɛ moanni asɛm a moaka no so a, na moayɛ bɔne atia Awurade, munhu sɛ, ɛho asotwe bɛba mo so.
24 So get to work building your towns for your little ones, and safe places for your sheep; and do as you have said.
Monkɔ so nkyekyere nkurow mma mo fifo na monyɛ nguannan mma mo nguan na munni asɛm a mokae no nyinaa so.”
25 And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said to Moses, Your servants will do as my lord says.
Ruben ne Gad nkurɔfo no kae se, “Yebedi wʼahyɛde no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
26 Our little ones, our wives, and our flocks, and all our cattle, will be there in the towns of Gilead;
Yɛn mma, yɛn yerenom, yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi bɛtena Gilead nkuropɔn mu.
27 But your servants will go over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to the fight, as my lord says.
Nanso yɛn a wɔakyere yɛn sɛ asraafo no bɛko ama Awurade sɛnea woaka no.”
28 So Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest and to Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel.
Enti Mose penee so ka kyerɛɛ Eleasar, Yosua ne mpanyimfo a wotuatua Israel mmusuakuw ano no se,
29 And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:
“Sɛ Gad ne Ruben abusuakuw mu mmarima nyinaa a wɔakyere wɔn ayɛ wɔn asraafo sɛ wɔnkɔko mma Awurade no ne me kɔ Yordan na sɛ wɔkɔko di nkonim wɔ hɔ a, momfa Gilead asase no mma wɔn;
30 But if they do not go over with you armed, they will have to take their heritage with you in the land of Canaan.
na sɛ wɔankɔ a, ɛno de, wɔmpene so mfa nsase a mowɔ wɔ Kanaan asase so no bi.”
31 Then the children of Gad and the children of Reuben said, As the Lord has said to your servants, so will we do.
Gad ne Ruben abusuafo kaa bio se, “Wo nkoa bedi Awurade asɛm so;
32 We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and you will give us our heritage on this side of Jordan.
yɛde akode bɛhyehyɛ yɛn ho adi Awurade akyi akɔ Kanaan, nanso yɛn ara yɛn asase bɛda Yordan fa ha.”
33 So Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and Og, king of Bashan, all the land with its towns and the country round them.
Enti Mose ma wɔde Amorihene Sihon ne Basanhene Og nsasetam ne wɔn nkurow akɛse maa Gad, Ruben ne Yosef babarima Manase mmusuakuw.
34 And the children of Gad were the builders of Dibon and Ataroth and Aroer;
Gad nkurɔfo na wɔkyekyeree saa nkurow yi: Dibon, Atarot, Aroer.
35 And Atroth-shophan and Jazer and Jogbehah;
Atrot-Sofan, Yaser Yogbeha,
36 And Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran: walled towns and shut-in places for sheep.
Bet-Nimra ne Betharan. Na ɛyɛ nkurow a nguan wɔ mu yiye.
37 And the children of Reuben were the builders of Heshbon and Elealeh and Kiriathaim;
Ruben mmabarima na wɔkyekyeree saa nkurow a edidi so yi: Hesbon, Eleale ne Kiriataim,
38 And Nebo and Baal-meon, (their names being changed, ) and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the towns they made.
Nebo, Baal-Meon a akyiri no wɔsesaa wɔn din, ne Sibma. Wɔtotoo nkurow a wɔsan kyekyee no din.
39 And the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, went to Gilead and took it, driving out the Amorites who were living there.
Makir asefo a wofi Manase abusuakuw mu kɔɔ Gilead kɔko dii hɔ so pam Amorifo a saa bere no na wɔte hɔ no nyinaa.
40 And Moses gave Gilead to Machir, the son of Manasseh; and he made it his living-place.
Enti Mose de Gilead maa Makirfo a wɔyɛ Manase asefo no, ma wɔtenaa hɔ.
41 And Jair, the son of Manasseh, went and took the towns of Gilead, naming them Havvoth-Jair.
Manase abusuakuw mu nnipa foforo bi a wofi Yair nso tenatenaa Gilead nkurow bebree so, sesaa beae a wɔwɔ hɔ no din frɛɛ hɔ Hafrotyair.
42 And Nobah went and took Kenath and its small towns, naming it Nobah, after himself.
Ɔbarima bi a ne din de Noba dii asraafo bi anim de wɔn kɔɔ Kenat ne ne nkuraase kɔbɔɔ wɔn atenae wɔ hɔ enti ɔde ne din Noba too saa beae hɔ.
