2 “M’akoa Mose awu.+ Afei sɔre na wo ne nnipa yi nyinaa ntwa Asubɔnten Yordan yi nkɔ asaase a mede rema Israelfo no so.+
3 Baabiara a mo nan besi no, mede bɛma mo sɛnea mehyɛɛ Mose bɔ no.+
4 Efi sare no so hɔ kosi Lebanon kɔfa asubɔnten kɛse Eufrate ho, kyerɛ sɛ, Hitifo+ asaase nyinaa, de kɔfa Ɛpo Kɛse* no atɔe fam* nyinaa bɛyɛ mo asaase.+
5 Wo nkwa nna nyinaa, obiara rentumi nni wo so nkonim.+ Sɛnea midii Mose akyi no, saa ara na medi w’akyi.+ Merempo wo, na merennyaw wo.+

7 “Nea ehia ara ne sɛ wubenya akokoduru na woama wo ho ayɛ den paa, na woahwɛ adi Mmara a m’akoa Mose de maa wo no nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Mman mfi ho nkɔ nifa anaa benkum;+ ɛno bɛma woayɛ w’ade nyansam baabi a wobɛkɔ biara.+

9 Menka nkyerɛɛ wo sɛ nya akokoduru na ma wo ho nyɛ den anaa? Nsuro, na mmɔ hu, efisɛ baabi a wobɛkɔ biara, Yehowa wo Nyankopɔn ka wo ho.”+
10 Afei Yosua ka kyerɛɛ ɔman no mpanyimfo sɛ:
11 “Momfa nkurɔfo no mu wɔ asoɛe hɔ, na monka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Aka nnansa, mubetwa Asubɔnten Yordan yi akɔfa asaase a Yehowa mo Nyankopɔn de ama mo no.+ Enti, monhwehwɛ aduan a mubedi wɔ kwan so.’”
12 Na Yosua ka kyerɛɛ Rubenfo ne Gadfo ne Manase abusuakuw fã no sɛ:
13 “Monkae asɛm a Yehowa akoa Mose ka kyerɛɛ mo yi,+ ‘Yehowa mo Nyankopɔn ama moanya asomdwoe, na ɔde asaase yi ama mo.
14 Mo yerenom, mo mma, ne mo nyɛmmoa bɛka Yordan agya ha,* asaase a Mose de ama mo yi so.+ Mmarima a munim ko yiye nyinaa de,+ momfa mo akode na munni mo nuanom anim ntwa Yordan.+ Ɛsɛ sɛ moboa wɔn
15 kosi sɛ Yehowa bɛma mo nuanom asomdwoe sɛnea wama mo asomdwoe no, na wɔafa asaase a Yehowa mo Nyankopɔn de rema wɔn no. Muwie a, na moasan mo akyi abɛfa asaase a wɔde ama mo sɛ montena so no, asaase a Yehowa akoa Mose de ama mo wɔ Yordan agya wɔ apuei fam no.’”+
16 Ɛnna wɔka kyerɛɛ Yosua sɛ: “Nea woaka akyerɛ yɛn nyinaa yɛbɛyɛ, na baabiara a wobɛsoma yɛn no, yɛbɛkɔ.+
17 Sɛnea yetiee Mose wɔ biribiara mu no, saa ara na yebetie wo. Nea yɛresrɛ ara ne sɛ, Yehowa wo Nyankopɔn nni w’akyi sɛnea odii Mose akyi no.+
18 Obiara a ɔbɛsɔre atia w’ahyɛde na wantie asɛm biara a wobɛka akyerɛ no no, wonkum no.+ Enti nya akokoduru na ma wo ho nyɛ den.”+
