NA-TWI — Nkwa Asem (NA-TWI)

Verse 1

The allotment for the tribe of Judah, according to its clans, extended down to the territory of Edom, to the Desert of Zin in the extreme south.

Bere a Paulo ne Barnaba wɔ Antiokia no, nnipa bi fi Yudea bɛkyerɛkyerɛɛ anuanom no se, “Sɛ moamma wɔantwa mo twetia sɛnea Mose amanne no kyerɛ no a, morennya nkwa.”

Verse 2

Their southern boundary started from the bay at the southern end of the Dead Sea,

Paulo ne Barnaba ne wɔn gyee saa kyerɛkyerɛ yi ho akyinnye denneenen. Saa asɛm yi nti, Paulo ne Barnaba ne Antiokia asafo no mu nnipa bi kɔɔ Yerusalem kohuu asomafo no ne mpanyimfo faa saa kyerɛkyerɛ yi ho.

Verse 3

crossed south of Scorpion Pass, continued on to Zin and went over to the south of Kadesh Barnea. Then it ran past Hezron up to Addar and curved around to Karka.

Asafo no gyaa wɔn kwan. Wɔrekɔ no, wɔfaa Foinike ne Samaria kaa Amanamanmufo gye a wɔagye asɛm no adi no kyerɛɛ wɔn. Nnipa yi tee saa asɛm yi no, wɔn ani gyei yiye.

Verse 4

It then passed along to Azmon and joined the Wadi of Egypt, ending at the Mediterranean Sea. This is their^[a] southern boundary.

Woduu Yerusalem no, asafo no, asomafo no ne mpanyimfo a wɔkaa nneɛma a Onyankopɔn nam wɔn so ayɛ kyerɛɛ wɔn no gyee wɔn.

Verse 5

The eastern boundary is the Dead Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan.

The northern boundary started from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan,

Nanso Farasifo a wɔabɛyɛ gyidifo no hyɛe sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa Amanamanmufo a wɔagye asɛm no adi no nyinaa twetia na wodi Mose mmara no so.

Verse 6

went up to Beth Hoglah and continued north of Beth Arabah to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.

Asomafo no ne mpanyimfo no hyiae, dwennwenee asɛm yi ho.

Verse 7

The boundary then went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor and turned north to Gilgal, which faces the Pass of Adummim south of the gorge. It continued along to the waters of En Shemesh and came out at En Rogel.

Wɔdwennwenee ho wiei no, Petro sɔre kasae se, “Me nuanom, munim sɛ bere bi a atwam no, Onyankopɔn yii me fii mo mu sɛ menka Asɛmpa no nkyerɛ Amanamanmufo, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na wɔbɛte Asɛmpa no na wɔagye adi.

Verse 8

Then it ran up the Valley of Ben Hinnom along the southern slope of the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem). From there it climbed to the top of the hill west of the Hinnom Valley at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.

Sɛnea Onyankopɔn a onim koma mu no nam Honhom Kronkron a ɔma ɛbaa yɛn so no so gyee yɛn toom no, saa ara na ɔnam Honhom Kronkron no ara so agye Amanamanmufo nso atom.

Verse 9

From the hilltop the boundary headed toward the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, came out at the towns of Mount Ephron and went down toward Baalah (that is, Kiriath Jearim).

Onyankopɔn anyɛ nyiyimu; ɔnam gyidi so tew wɔn koma mu.

Verse 10

Then it curved westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, ran along the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Kesalon), continued down to Beth Shemesh and crossed to Timnah.

Adɛn nti na mopɛ sɛ mode adesoa duruduru a yɛn agyanom antumi ansoa, na yɛn nso yɛantumi ansoa no resoa gyidifo no de asɔ Onyankopɔn ahwɛ?

Verse 11

It went to the northern slope of Ekron, turned toward Shikkeron, passed along to Mount Baalah and reached Jabneel. The boundary ended at the sea.

Nanso yegye di sɛ wɔnam Awurade Yesu Kristo adom so na agye yɛn nkwa sɛ wɔn ara.”

Verse 12

The western boundary is the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.

These are the boundaries around the people of Judah by their clans.

Bere a Barnaba ne Paulo kaa anwonwade a Onyankopɔn nam wɔn so yɛe wɔ Amanamanmufo no mu maa nnipa a wɔahyia hɔ no tee no, wɔyɛɛ dinn.

Verse 13

In accordance with the Lord’s command to him, Joshua gave to Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion in Judah—Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)

Wɔkasa wiei no, Yakobo kae se, “Anuanom, muntie me!

Verse 14

From Hebron Caleb drove out the three Anakites—Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai, the sons of Anak.

Mprempren ara na Simon kyerɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ yɛn se Onyankopɔn yii Amanamanmufo sɛ ne de, de kyerɛɛ odwen a odwen wɔn ho.

Verse 15

From there he marched against the people living in Debir (formerly called Kiriath Sepher).

Adiyifo no nsɛm a wɔkae no ne eyi hyia sɛnea wɔakyerɛw Kyerɛwsɛm no mu se,

Verse 16

And Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Aksah in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.”

‘Eyi akyi, mɛsan maba mabesi Dawid fi a abubu no. Mɛma nea adwiriw no so na masan masi bio,

Verse 17

Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him in marriage.

sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a nnipa a wɔaka ne Amanamanmufo a wɔbɔ me din no bɛhwehwɛ Awurade.’

Verse 18

One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him^[b] to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”

Sɛnea Awurade a ɔdaa eyi adi bere bi a atwam no se nen.”

Verse 19

She replied, “Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.

Yakobo toaa so se, “M’adwene ne sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛhaw Amanamanmufo a wɔde wɔn ho rema Onyankopɔn no.

Verse 20

This is the inheritance of the tribe of Judah, according to its clans:

Mmom, momma yɛnkyerɛw nhoma nkɔka nkyerɛ wɔn se, ɛnsɛ sɛ wodi aduan biara a wɔde ama abosom, efisɛ, ɛho ntew; afei wɔntwe wɔn ho mfi aguamammɔ ho, afei wɔnnwe aboa a wɔantwa ne mene na owui; bio, wonnni mogya nso.

Verse 21

The southernmost towns of the tribe of Judah in the Negev toward the boundary of Edom were:

Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur,
