< Numbers 11 >
1 And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of Jehovah. And when Jehovah heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of Jehovah burnt among them, and devoured in the outermost part of the camp.
Ankyɛre biara na nnipa no firii aseɛ nwiinwii sɛ nneɛma nkɔ yie mma wɔn, na Awurade teeɛ. Nʼabufuhyeɛ kɔɔ wɔn so wɔ wɔn anwiinwii no ho. Yei enti, Awurade maa ogya bɛhyee beaeɛ a na wɔte hɔ no mfikyire.
2 And the people cried to Moses. And Moses prayed to Jehovah, and the fire abated.
Wɔteateaam frɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔmmɛgye wɔn. Mose bɔɔ mpaeɛ srɛɛ Awurade maa wɔn na ogya no dumiiɛ.
3 And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of Jehovah burnt among them.
Ɛfiri saa ɛberɛ no, wɔtoo beaeɛ hɔ edin sɛ Tabera a asekyerɛ ne “Ahyeɛ”, ɛfiri sɛ, ogya a ɛfiri Awurade nkyɛn no hyee wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ.
4 And the mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly. And the sons of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Misraimfoɔ a na wɔwɔ wɔn ntam no kɔn dɔɔ nneɛma pa a na ɛwɔ Misraim no. Yei amma Israelfoɔ no ani ansɔ baabi a na wɔwɔ hɔ no, enti wɔsuu sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛma yɛn aduane adi?
5 We remember the fish which we ate in Egypt for nothing, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic,
Ɛberɛ a na yɛwɔ Misraim no, na yɛnya ɛnam ne nsuomnam we. Saa ara nso na na yɛnya kokumba, ɛferɛ, gyeene ne galik nso die.
6 but now our soul is dried away. There is nothing at all except this manna to look upon.
Nanso, seesei deɛ, yɛn ahoɔden so ate na ɛda biara yɛnnya biribiara sɛ mana nko ara.”
7 And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium.
Na mana no kɛseɛ te sɛ wisa aba na ɛsɛ ɛhyɛ a awaawae firi dubona ho agu fam.
8 The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and boiled it in pots, and made cakes of it. And the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
Nnipa no tasee firi fam na wɔayam anaa wɔasi no waduro mu ama adane esiam. Wɔwie a, wɔnoa de bi yɛ taterɛ. Woka wʼano a, ɛte sɛ taterɛ a wɔakye wɔ nhahamma ngo mu.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
Anadwo bosuo mu na mana no tɔ.
10 And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled greatly, and Moses was displeased.
Mose tee sɛ mmusuakuo no nyinaa gyinagyina, atwa wɔn ntomadan ho ahyia resu. Yei hyɛɛ Awurade abufuo yie. Na anyɛ Mose nso abodwo koraa.
11 And Moses said to Jehovah, Why have thou dealt ill with thy servant? And why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou lay the burden of all this people upon me?
Mose bisaa Awurade sɛ, “Adɛn enti na woyɛ me saa na wode saa nnipa a wɔte seyie yi nyinaa adesoa abɛsoa me?
12 Have I conceived all this people? Have I brought them forth, that thou should say to me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nurturing father carries the sucking child, to the land which thou swore to their fathers?
Wɔyɛ me mma anaasɛ me nso meyɛ wɔn agya? Yei enti na wode wɔn ama me sɛ menhwɛ wɔn sɛ nkɔkoaa kɔsi sɛ yɛbɛduru asase a wohyɛɛ wɔn agyanom ho bɔ no?
13 From where should I have flesh to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
Ɛhefa na merekɔfa ɛnam abrɛ nnipa yi? Wɔsu kyerɛ me sɛ, ‘Ma yɛn ɛnam!’
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
Mʼankasa merentumi nsoa ɔman yi! Adesoa no mu yɛ duru ma me dodo!
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favor in thy sight, and let me not see my wretchedness.
Na sɛ saa na wo ne me bɛdi no deɛ a, mesrɛ, kum me seesei ara; ɛbɛyɛ adom ama me! Yi me firi saa ahokyere yi mu!”
16 And Jehovah said to Moses, Gather to me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou know to be the elders of the people and officers over them. And bring them to the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Frɛ Israelfoɔ mpanimfoɔ no mu aduɔson ma me; fa wɔn bra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu na wo ne wɔn nnyina hɔ.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there. And I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them, and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou not bear it thyself alone.
Mɛba hɔ na me ne wo abɛkasa na honhom a ɛwɔ wo so no, mɛfa na mede akɔgu wɔn nso so bi; ɛba saa a, wɔne wo bɛsoa nnipa no adesoa sɛdeɛ ɛrenyɛ wo nko ara wʼadesoa.
18 And say thou to the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh, for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? For it was well with us in Egypt. Therefore Jehovah will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
“Ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔnnwira wɔn ho na ɔkyena, wɔbɛnya ɛnam awe. Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Awurade ate mo sufrɛ a ɛfa nneɛma a mogyaa no Misraim no ho na ɔrebɛma mo ɛnam. Mobɛwe;
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days,
ɛnyɛ ɛda koro anaa nnanu anaa nnanum anaa dadu anaa adaduonu!
20 but a whole month, until it comes out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome to you, because ye have rejected Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why did we come forth out of Egypt?
Na bosome baako mu, mobɛwe ɛnam ara ma apuro mo ama afa mo hwene mu. Ɛfiri sɛ, moapo Awurade a ɔka mo ho wɔ ha no, na moasu ama Misraim nso.’”
21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen, and thou have said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
Mose kaa sɛ, “Mmarima nko ara mpem ahansia na wɔwɔ ha, ɛnna woahyɛ wɔn bɔ sɛ wobɛma wɔn ɛnam awe ara bosome!
22 Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
Sɛ yɛkum yɛn nnwan ne yɛn anantwie nyinaa koraa a, ɛrenso wɔn so. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkyere ɛpo mu ɛnam nyinaa ansa na yɛatumi adi wo bɔhyɛ no so!”
23 And Jehovah said to Moses, Is Jehovah's hand grown short? Now thou shall see whether my word shall come to pass to thee or not.
Na Awurade bisaa Mose sɛ, “Da bɛn na meyɛɛ mmerɛ? Afei wobɛhunu sɛ mʼasɛm yɛ nokorɛ anaa ɛnyɛ nokorɛ.”
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of Jehovah. And he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tent.
Enti Mose firii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu hɔ kɔkaa nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Ɔboaboaa mpanimfoɔ aduɔson ano ma wɔtwaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho hyiaeɛ.
25 And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders. And it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
Na Awurade nam omununkum mu baa fam ne Mose kasaeɛ, na ɔfaa honhom a ɛwɔ Mose so no de guu mpanimfoɔ aduɔson no so. Ɛberɛ a honhom no baa wɔn so kakra no, wɔhyɛɛ nkɔm mmerɛ tiawa bi mu.
26 But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the spirit rested upon them. And they were of those who were written, but had not gone out to the tent. And they prophesied in the camp.
Nanso na mpanimfoɔ aduɔson no mu baanu a wɔfrɛ wɔn Eldad ne Medad da so wɔ wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ. Na mmerɛ a honhom no baa wɔn so wɔ hɔ no, wɔhyɛɛ nkɔm wɔ hɔ.
27 And a young man ran, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
Mmeranteɛ bi tuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ Mose asɛm a asie no ho amaneɛ
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
na Nun babarima Yosua a na wɔayi no sɛ ɔnyɛ Mose ɔboafoɔ no ampene so, na ɔkaa sɛ, “Owura, ma wɔnnyae!”
29 And Moses said to him, Are thou jealous for my sake? Would that all of Jehovah's people were prophets, that Jehovah would put his spirit upon them!
Mose bisaa no sɛ, “Me ho na woretwe ninkunu yi? Ɛkaa me nko a, na anka Awurade nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa yɛ adiyifoɔ a Awurade de ne honhom agu wɔn nyinaa so!”
30 And Moses went into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
Afei, Mose ne Israel mpanimfoɔ no sane kɔɔ wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ.
31 And there went forth a wind from Jehovah, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.
Awurade bɔɔ ahum maa ɛde mmoko firi ɛpo mu bɛguu atenaeɛ hɔ ne ɛho mmaa nyinaa. Baabiara a obi bɛfa no, na nnomaa yi bi atu nenam asase ani bɛyɛ anammɔn ɛnan.
32 And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails. He who gathered least gathered ten homers. And they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
Enti ɛda mu no nyinaa, nnipa kyekyeree mmoko no bi kunkumm wɔn awia ne anadwo ne nʼadekyeeɛ nso. Deɛ wannya bi no koraa na ɔnyaa susukora ɔha! Mmoko buu so wɔ atenaeɛ hɔ nyinaa.
33 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of Jehovah was kindled against the people, and Jehovah smote the people with a very great plague.
Na nnipa no firii aseɛ wee mmoa no bi. Wɔhyɛɛ aseɛ weeɛ no, Awurade bo sane fuu wɔn maa ɔde ɔyaredɔm kumm wɔn mu fa kɛseɛ no ara.
34 And the name of that place was called Kibrothhattaavah, because there they buried the people who lusted.
Enti wɔtoo beaeɛ hɔ edin sɛ Kibrot-Hataawa a asekyerɛ ne, “Akɔnnɔ damena” ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn a na wɔn ani bere ɛnam na wɔn kɔn adɔ Misraim tena no na wɔsiee wɔn wɔ hɔ.
35 From Kibrothhattaavah the people journeyed to Hazeroth, and they abode at Hazeroth.
Ɔman no tu firii hɔ kɔtenaa Haserot kakra.
