< Deuteronomy 3 >

1 Then turned we and went up, the way of Bashan; and Og king of Bashan, came out to meet us, he, and all his people, to give battle at Edrei.
Afei, yɛde yɛn ani kyerɛɛ Basan ɛkwan so. Basanhene Og ne nʼasraadɔm firi bɛhyiaa yɛn wɔ Edrei ne yɛn koeɛ.
2 And Yahweh said unto me: Do not fear him, for into thy hand, have I delivered him and all his people and his land, —so then thou shalt do unto him, as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites who was dwelling in Heshbon.
Nanso, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Nsuro no, ɛfiri sɛ, mede ɔno ne nʼakodɔm ne nʼasase nyinaa ahyɛ wo nsa. Asɛm a ɛtoo Amorifoɔhene Sihon wɔ Hesbon no, saa asɛm korɔ no ara bi na ɛbɛto no.”
3 Then did Yahweh our God deliver into our hand, Og also, king of Bashan and all his people, —so we smote him until there was not left remaining to him a survivor.
Enti, Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, sane de Basanhene Og ne nʼakodɔm nyinaa hyɛɛ yɛn nsa. Yɛbɔɔ wɔn guiɛ a anka wɔn mu baako koraa.
4 And we captured all his cities, at that time, there was no fortress which we took not from them, —sixty cities all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Saa ɛberɛ no, yɛfaa wɔn nkuropɔn nyinaa. Nkuropɔn aduosia no mu baako koraa nni hɔ a yɛannye amfiri wɔn nsam. Argob mantam a ɛyɛ Og ahenkuro wɔ Basan nyinaa ka ho.
5 All these, were fortified cities each with a high wall, folding gates and a bar, —besides country towns exceeding many.
Saa nkuropɔn yi nyinaa, na wɔato afasuo atentene afa ho de nnadeɛ apono atoto ano. Saa ɛberɛ korɔ no ara mu, yɛfaa nkuraa a na wɔntoo afasuo mfaa ho bebree.
6 And we devoted them to destruction, doing unto them as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, —devoting to destruction every city of males, the women, and the little ones.
Yɛsɛee Basan kuropɔn no korakora sɛdeɛ yɛsɛee Hesbonhene Sihon no. Yɛsɛee nkuro no ne emu mmarima, mmaa ne mmɔfra nyinaa pasapasa.
7 But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, made we our prey.
Nanso, afieboa nyinaa ne nkuro no mu asadeɛ deɛ, yɛfom faeɛ.
8 Thus did we at that time take the land out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites (which was over the Jordan), —from the ravine of Arnon as far as Mount Hermon.
Amorifoɔ ahemfo baanu nsase a na ɛdeda Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam no nyinaa, yɛfaeɛ—nsase a ɛfiri Arnon subɔnhwa kɔsi bepɔ Hermon so nyinaa.
9 Sidonians, call Hermon Sirion, —but, the Amorites, call it Senir.
Sidonfoɔ frɛ no Hermon Sirion ɛnna Amorifoɔ frɛ no Senir.
10 All the cities of the table-land, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, —unto Salecah, and Edrei, —cities of the kingdom of Og, in Bashan.
Yɛadi nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ bepɔ no apampam no nyinaa so a Gilead ne Basan ka ho de kɔsi nkuro a ɛwɔ Saleka ne Edrei, a na ɛyɛ Og ahemman wɔ Basan no nso ka ho bi.
11 For, only Og, king of Bashan was left remaining of the remnant of the giants, lo! his bedstead, was a bedstead of iron, is not, the same, in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon? nine cubits, the length thereof and four cubits, the breadth thereof, by the fore-arm of a man.
Abrane no deɛ, Basanhene Og nko na na waka. Ne dadeɛ mpa tenten boro anammɔn dumiɛnsa ɛnna ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn nsia. Ɛda so wɔ Amonfoɔ kuropɔn Raba mu seesei ara.
12 And this land, took we in possession at that time, —from Aroer which is by the ravine of Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites;
Yɛfaa asase no, mede asase no fa a ɛda firi Aroer Arnon subɔnhwa mu ne Gilead bepɔ fa ne ne nkuro no maa Rubenfoɔ ne Gadfoɔ.
13 but the remainder of Gilead, and all Bashan the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh, —all the region of the Argob with all Bashan. The same, is called, A land of giants.
Afei, mede asase no nkaeɛ a ɛyɛ Gilead ne Basan nyinaa a ɛyɛ na anka ɛyɛ Og ahemman no maa Manase abusua fa no. Saa Basan no nyinaa na wɔfrɛ no abrane asase.
14 Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the region of Argob, as far as the boundary of the Geshurites, and the Maachathites, —and called them after his own name The Bashan of Havvoth-jair unto this day.
Manase abusua ɔkannifoɔ Yair faa Argob asase no nyinaa a ɛne Basan kɔsii Gesurfoɔ ne Maakatfoɔ hyeɛ so. Ɔde ne din too asase no frɛɛ hɔ Hawot-Yair de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.
15 And, unto Machir, gave I Gilead;
Mede Gilead maa Makir,
16 And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites, gave I—from Gilead even as far as the ravine of Arnon, the middle of the ravine and boundary, —even as far as the Jabbok ravine, the boundary of the sons of Ammon;
Rubenfoɔ ne Gadfoɔ no, memaa wɔn asase bi a ɛfiri Gilead fa bi, kɔsi Arnon subɔnhwa ho, de kɔsi Asubɔnten Yabok a ɛyɛ Amonfoɔ hyeɛ no so.
17 the Waste Plain also and the Jordan and boundary, —from Chinnereth, even as far as the sea of the Waste Plain the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah, on the east.
Atɔeɛ hyeɛ no firi Asubɔnten Yordan a ɛda Araba a ɛfiri Kineret kɔsi Nkyene Ɛpo a ɛda Pisga bepɔ ayaase no.
18 So I commanded you, at that time saying, —Yahweh your God hath given unto you this land to possess it, armed, shall ye pass over before your brethren the sons of Israel all the sons of valour,
Na mehyɛɛ mo saa ɛberɛ no sɛ, “Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de asase yi ama mo sɛ momfa. Nanso mo mmarima akofoɔ nyinaa nhyɛ akodeɛ nni mo nuanom Israelfoɔ anim ntwa Yordan.
19 Only, your wives and your little ones and your cattle—I know that ye have much cattle—shall abide in your cities which I have given unto you;
Mo yerenom, mo mma ne mo afieboa bebrebe no deɛ, monnya wɔn wɔ mo akyi wɔ nkuro a mede ama mo no so.
20 until that Yahweh shall give rest unto your brethren, as well as you, so shall, they too, possess the land which, Yahweh your God, is giving unto them, over the Jordan, —then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given unto you.
Sɛ Awurade bɔ Israelfoɔ a wɔaka no ho ban na wɔtena asase a Awurade de ama wɔn a ɛtwam Asubɔnten Yordan no so a, afei motumi sane mo akyi ba asase a mede ama mo no so.”
21 Joshua also, commanded I, at that time saying, —Thine are the eyes, that have seen all that Yahweh your God hath done unto these two kings, thus, will Yahweh do unto all the kingdoms whereunto thou, art passing over:
Saa ɛberɛ no, meka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ, “Woahunu deɛ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn ayɛ saa ahemfo baanu yi. Saa ara na ɔbɛyɛ ahemman a ɛwɔ Yordan atɔeɛ fam no nyinaa.
22 ye shall not fear them, —for, Yahweh your God, he, it is that is fighting for you.
Nsuro aman a wɔwɔ hɔ no na Awurade bɛko ama wo.”
23 Then sought I Yahweh at that time, for a favour saying:
Saa ɛberɛ no, mesrɛɛ Awurade sɛ,
24 My Lord Yahweh, thou thyself, hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy firm hand, —as to which, what GOD is there, in the heavens or in the earth, that can do according to thy doings, and according to thy mighty deeds?
“Ao Otumfoɔ Awurade, meyɛ wʼakoa. Afei, na worekyerɛ me wo kɛseyɛ ne wo tumi. Onyame bɛn na ɔwɔ ɔsoro anaa asase so a ɔbɛtumi ayɛ mmaninneɛ te sɛ wo?
25 Let me pass over, I pray thee that I may see the good land that is over the Jordan, —this good mountain, and the Lebanon.
Mesrɛ wo, ma me ntwa Yordan nkɔhwɛ asase nwanwa a ɛda ɛfa hɔ, ɔman fɛfɛ no ne Lebanon mmepɔ no.”
26 But Yahweh had been provoked with me for your sakes, and hearkened not unto me, —and Yahweh said unto me, Enough for thee! do not add a word unto me further in this matter.
Nanso ɛsiane mo enti, Awurade bo fuu me. Na wantie me. Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ “Ɛyɛ, nka saa asɛm yi ho hwee bio nkyerɛ me.
27 Ascend the top of the Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes—westward, and northward and southward and eastward—and see with thine own eyes, —for thou shalt not pass over this Jordan.
Foro kɔ Pisga na hwɛ atɔeɛ ne atifi ne anafoɔ ne apueeɛ. Esiane sɛ, worentwa Yordan no enti, wʼankasa fa wʼani hwɛ asase no.
28 But command thou Joshua and confirm him and embolden him, —for, he, shall pass over before this people, and, he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.
Nanso, tu Yosua na bɔ nʼaba so, na hyɛ no den na ɔno na ɔbɛdi saa nnipa yi anim atwa na wama wɔadi asase a wʼani tua yi so.”
29 So we abode in the valley, over against Beth-peor.
Ɛno enti, yɛtenaa subɔnhwa a ɛbɛn Bet-Peor.
