Joshua 18
1 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
Afei a asase no abedi Israelfo nsam no, Israelfo nyinaa boaa wɔn ho ano wɔ Silo na wosii hyiadan.
2 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
Nanso na aka mmusuakuw ason a wɔmfaa wɔn kyɛfa no mmaa wɔn ɛ.
3 And Joshua said to the children of Israel, How long will ye neglect to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
Enti Yosua bisaa wɔn se, “Moretwɛn akosi da bɛn ansa na moafa asase no nkae a Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn de ama mo no?
4 Pick out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.
Munyi nnipa baasa mfi abusuakuw biara mu na mɛsoma wɔn ama wɔakɔsra baabi a wonnii hɔ so no. Wɔsan ba a, wɔbɛkyerɛw nea wohui agu krataa so akyerɛ me sɛnea wɔbɛkyekyɛ agyapade no.
5 And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their land on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their land on the north.
Akwansrafo no bɛkyekyɛ asase no mu ason, na wɔmmfa Yuda asase a ɛda anafo fam ne Yosef asase a ɛwɔ atifi fam no nka ho.
6 Ye shall therefore describe the land in seven parts, and bring the description here to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
Afei, mɛbɔ ntonto a ɛho tew wɔ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn anim, apɛ baabi a wɔde bɛma abusuakuw biara.
7 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
Nanso Lewifo no rennya asase biara. Wɔn dwumadi sɛ Awurade asɔfo no bɛyɛ wɔn agyapade. Na Gad ne Ruben mmusuakuw ne Manase abusuakuw fa no nso nnya asase no bi bio, efisɛ wɔanya wɔn agyapade a Mose a ɔyɛ Awurade somfo de maa wɔn wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam no dedaw.”
8 And the men arose, and departed: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
Mmarima a wɔrekosusuw asase no rebɛkɔ no, Yosua hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔkyekyɛ asase no, na monsan mfa nea muhui ho nsɛm a moakyerɛw agu krataa so mmrɛ me, na menam ntontobɔ kronkron a wɔbɛbɔ no Awurade anim wɔ Silo no so de asase no bɛma mmusuakuw no.”
9 And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
Mmarima no yɛɛ sɛnea wɔhyɛɛ wɔn no, kyekyɛɛ asase no nyinaa mu ason, kyerɛw nkurow a ɛwɔ asase no nkyekyɛ mu biara so. Wɔsan kɔɔ Yosua nkyɛn wɔ Silo atenae hɔ.
10 And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their divisions.
Silo hɔ na Yosua bɔɔ ntonto kronkron wɔ Awurade anim de pɛɛ asasetaw a ɛsɛ sɛ abusuakuw biara fa.
11 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the land of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
Asase no nkyekyɛ mu a edi kan no kɔɔ mmusua a ɛwɔ Benyamin abusuakuw no nsam. Na ɛda nsase a wɔde maa Yuda ne Yosef mmusuakuw no ntam.
12 And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the ends of it were at the wilderness of Bethaven.
Atifi fam hye no fi Asubɔnten Yordan kɔ Yeriko nsian no atifi, na afei, afa bepɔw mantam ne Bet-Awen sare so akɔ atɔe fam.
13 And the border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the lower Bethhoron.
Ɔhye no fi hɔ kɔ Lus (a ɛyɛ Bet-El) wɔ anafo fam, na ɛtoa so kɔ Atarot-Adar ne bepɔw atifi a ɛwɔ Bet-Horon Anafo wɔ anafo fam.
14 And the border extended from there, and went around the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the ends of it were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
Afei ɔhye no fa anafo fam, nam bepɔw a anim hwɛ Bet-Horon wɔ atɔe fam no ntentenso, kosi Kiriat-Yearim, a ɛyɛ Kiriat-Baal akuraa; Yuda abusuakuw no nkurow no mu baako. Eyi ne atɔe fam hye.
15 And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
Anafo fam hye no, fi Kiriat-Yearim mfikyiri. Efi hɔ fa atɔe fam kɔ Neftoa nsuwansuwa asuti ho,
16 And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,
na asian akɔ bepɔw a ɛwɔ Hinom bon a ɛwɔ Refaim bon no atifi fam no ase. Ɛtoa so kɔ Hinom wɔ anafo fam, na atwam wɔ nsian a na Yebusifo te no anafo fam na akodu En-Rogel.
17 And extended from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
Ɔhye no fi En-Rogel a ɛkɔ atifi fam, kosi En-Semes na atoa so akɔpem Gelilot a ɛne Adumim di nhwɛanim na afei asian akɔ Bohan a na ɔyɛ Ruben babarima no bo ho.
18 And passed along toward the side opposite Arabah northward, and went down to Arabah:
Ɛtoa so fa nsian a ɛhwɛ Yordan Bon no atifi fam. Afei ɔhye no kɔ obon no mu,
19 And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the ends of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south border.
ɛkɔfa Bet-Hogla nsian no atifi fam na akɔpem Nkyene Po no atifi awiei ano a ɛyɛ Asubɔnten Yordan anafo fam abɔe.
20 And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by its borders all around, according to their families.
Apuei fam hye no yɛ Asubɔnten Yordan. Eyi ne agyapade a wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Benyamin abusuakuw no.
21 Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
Nkurow a wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Benyamin abusuakuw na edidi so yi: Yeriko, Bet-Hogla ne Emek-Kesis,
22 And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
Bet-Araba, Semaraim ne Bet-El,
23 And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
Awim, Para ne Ofra,
24 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
Kefar-Amonai, Ofni ne Geba, nkurow dumien ne wɔn nkuraa.
25 Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
Gibeon, Rama ne Beerot,
26 And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
Mispa, Kefira ne Mosa,
27 And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
Rekem, Yirpeel ne Tarala,
28 And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
Sela, Ha-Elef ne Yebusifo kuropɔn (a ɛyɛ Yerusalem), Gibea ne Kiriat-Yearim, nkurow dunan ne wɔn nkuraa. Eyi ne agyapade a wɔde maa mmusua a wɔbɔ mu yɛ Benyamin abusuakuw no.
