< Leviticus 10 >
1 And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each of them took his censer, and put fire in it, and laid incense on it, and offered strange fire before Jehovah, which he had not commanded them.
Na Aaron mma Nadab ne Abihu de ogya guu wɔn aduhwamhyeɛ adeɛ mu. Wɔde aduhwam no petee ogya no so ma wɔnam saa ɛkwan yi so buu Awurade mmara so, ɛfiri sɛ wɔde ogya a ɛnyɛ deɛ Awurade ahyɛ baa nʼanim.
2 And there came forth fire from before Jehovah, and devoured them, and they died before Jehovah.
Enti ogya dɛreɛ firi Awurade nkyɛn bɛhyee wɔn.
3 Then Moses said to Aaron, This is it that Jehovah spoke, saying, I will be sanctified in those who come near me. And I will be glorified before all the people. And Aaron remained silent.
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ, “Awurade kaa sɛ, “‘Mede me ho kronkron bɛkyerɛ wɔn a wɔbɛn me na nnipa nyinaa ahyɛ me animuonyam no, aseɛ ne no.’” Na asɛm no tɔree Aaron mumu.
4 And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said to them, Draw near. Carry your brothers from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
Afei, Mose soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Misael ne Elsafan a wɔyɛ Aaron agya nuabarima mma brɛɛ no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔtwe nnipa a wɔahye no nyinaa mfiri Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anim mfa wɔn nkɔ sraban no akyi.”
5 So they drew near, and carried them in their tunics out of the camp, as Moses had said.
Na wɔkɔsoaa wɔn wɔ wɔn ntadeɛ mu sɛdeɛ Mose aka akyerɛ wɔn no.
6 And Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons, Let not the hair of your heads go loose, neither tear your clothes, that ye not die, and that he not be angry with all the congregation, but let your brothers, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which Jehovah has kindled.
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima Eleasa ne Itamar sɛ, “Monnsu. Mommma mo tirinwi nsensɛn hɔ yuu mmfa nkyerɛ sɛ moretwa agyaadwoɔ. Monnsunsuane mo ntadeɛ mu nso. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, Onyankopɔn bɛkum mo nso na nʼabufuo bɛba Israelfoɔ nyinaa so. Nanso Israelfoɔ a wɔaka no deɛ, ɛsiane ogya a Awurade de baeɛ no enti, wɔtumi di Nadab ne Abihu wuo no ho awerɛhoɔ tumi su wɔn nso.
7 And ye shall not go out from the door of the tent of meeting, lest ye die, for the anointing oil of Jehovah is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
Na mommfiri Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano, anyɛ saa a mobɛwuwu, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ngosra wɔ mo so.” Na wɔdii asɛm a Mose kaeɛ no so.
8 And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying,
Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Aaron sɛ,
9 Drink no wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tent of meeting, that ye not die-it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations-
“Sɛ wokɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu a, nnom bobesa anaa nsã a ano yɛ den. Woyɛ saa a, wobɛwu. Saa mmara yi ka wo mmammarima ne wʼasefoɔ nyinaa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so.
10 and that ye may make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean,
Wo nnwuma ne sɛ, wobɛdi wo nkurɔfoɔ ntam nsɛm akyerɛ wɔn nsonsonoeɛ a ɛda deɛ ɛho te ne deɛ ɛyɛ teta ntam ne deɛ ɛyɛ kronkron ne deɛ ɛnyɛ kronkron ntam,
11 and that ye may teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which Jehovah has spoken to them by Moses.
na kyerɛ wɔn mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama no nyinaa.”
12 And Moses spoke to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons who were left, Take the meal offering that remains of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar, for it is most holy.
Afei, Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima Eleasa ne Itamar sɛ, “Sɛ mohye Awurade afɔrebɔdeɛ no nsabuo ma Awurade a, monni deɛ ɛbɛka no wɔ afɔrebukyia no ho. Monhwɛ sɛ mmɔka nni mu ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ kronkron.
13 And ye shall eat it in a holy place, because it is thy portion, and thy sons' portion, of the offerings of Jehovah made by fire. For so I am commanded.
Enti monni no kronkronbea hɔ. Ɛyɛ wo ne wo mmammarima dea, na ɛyɛ wo ne wo mmammarima no kyɛfa a ɛfiri afɔdeɛ a wɔde ogya bɔ maa Awurade no mu. Yei na wɔahyɛ sɛ menyɛ.
14 And ye shall eat the wave-breast and the heave-thigh in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee. For they are given as thy portion, and thy sons' portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.
Nanso, ne yan ne ne srɛ a mohim no Awurade anim no, motumi we no beaeɛ biara a amanneɛ kwan so no ɛhɔ teɛ. Ɛyɛ wo, wo mmammarima ne wo mmammaa kyɛfa wɔ Israelfoɔ Asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no mu.
15 They shall bring the heave-thigh and the wave-breast with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before Jehovah, and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, as a portion forever, as Jehovah has commanded.
Ne srɛ ne ne yan a wohim no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ka sradeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔhye de ma Awurade no ho. Afei ɛbɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefoɔ dea daa sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no.”
16 And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt. And he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron who were left, saying,
Ɛberɛ a Mose bisaa deɛ ayɛ abirekyie a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ no ho asɛm no, ɔhunuu sɛ wɔahye no. Ɛno enti, ne bo fuu Eleasa ne Itamar a na wɔyɛ Aaron mmammarima no.
17 Why have ye not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, seeing it is most holy, and he has given it to you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before Jehovah?
“Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na moanwe bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ no wɔ kronkronbea hɔ? Ɛyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron! Wɔde maa mo sɛ momfa nyi nnipa no afɔdie na ɛnyɛ mpatadeɛ mma wɔn wɔ Awurade anim.
18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought into the sanctuary inside. Ye should certainly have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded.
Esiane sɛ wɔamfa ne mogya ankɔ kronkronbea hɔ no enti, anka mobɛtumi awe no hɔ ara sɛdeɛ mehyɛeɛ no.’”
19 And Aaron spoke to Moses, Behold, this day they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before Jehovah, and there have befallen me such things as these. And if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been well-pleasing in the sight of Jehovah?
Aaron srɛɛ Mose maa ne mma no sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ me mma no bɔɔ wɔn bɔne afɔdeɛ ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade. Nanso hwɛ asɛm yi a ato me. Sɛ mewee bɔne afɔdeɛ ɛnam yi bi ɛnnɛ a, anka Awurade ani bɛsɔ anaa?”
20 And when Moses heard, it was well-pleasing in his sight.
Na Mose tee saa no, ɔgye too mu.
