Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifted up their voice and cried; and the people wept all that night.
Saa anadwo no, nnipa no nyinaa fii ase suu denneennen.
2 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron; and all the congregation said to them,
Wɔde nne koro nwiinwii tiaa Mose ne Aaron. Wɔkae se, “Sɛ yewuwuu wɔ Misraim anaa sare so ha a, anka eye.
3 Would we had died in the land of Egypt! or in this wilderness, would we had died! and why does the Lord bring us into this land to fall in war? our wives and our children shall be for a prey: now then it is better to return into Egypt.
Adɛn nti na Awurade de yɛn reba ha sɛ yɛmmɛtotɔ wɔ mfoa ano? Wɔbɛfow yɛn yerenom ne yɛn mma. So ennye mma yɛn sɛ yɛbɛsan akɔ Misraim ana?”
4 And they said one to another, Let us make a ruler, and return into Egypt.
Na wosisee wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛpaw ɔkannifo na yɛsan kɔ Misraim.”
5 And Moses and Aaron fell upon their face before all the congregation of the children of Israel.
Afei, Mose ne Aaron de wɔn anim butubutuu fam wɔ Israelfo a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa anim.
6 But Joshua the [son] of Naue, and Chaleb the [son] of Jephonne, of [the number of] them that spied out the land, tore their garments,
Akwansrafo no mu baanu, a wɔne Nun babarima Yosua ne Yefune babarima Kaleb sunsuan wɔn ntade mu
7 and spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, The land which we surveyed is indeed extremely good.
na wɔka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no nyinaa se, “Asase a yɛfaa mu no yɛ asase pa yiye.
8 If the Lord choose us, he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which flows with milk and honey.
Na sɛ yɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɔde yɛn bedu asase no so dwoodwoo, asase bere a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so, na ɔde bɛma yɛn.
9 Only depart not from the Lord; and fear you not the people of the land, for they are meat for us; for the season [of prosperity] is departed from them, but the Lord [is] amongst us: fear them not.
Monnyɛ dɔm ntia Awurade. Na munnsuro nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so no nso, efisɛ yɛbɛmemene wɔn. Wonni bammɔ, nanso Awurade ka yɛn ho. Munnsuro wɔn.”
10 And all the congregation bade stone them with stones; and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud on the tabernacle of witness to all the children of Israel.
Nanso mmuae a nnipa no mae ara ne sɛ, wobesiw wɔn abo. Afei, Awurade anuonyam baa Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu kyerɛɛ Israelfo no nyinaa.
11 And the Lord said to Moses, How long does this people provoke me? and how long do they refuse to believe me for all the signs which I have wrought amongst them?
Awurade bisaa Mose se, “Nnipa yi bebu me animtiaa akosi da bɛn? Anwonwade dodow a mayɛ akyerɛ wɔn yi nyinaa akyi no, wonnye me nni ara?
12 I will strike them with death, and destroy them; and I will make of you and of your father's house a great nation, and much greater than this.
Mɛma ɔyaredɔm abeduru wɔn na asɛe wɔn, nanso mɛyɛ mo ɔman kɛse a ɛwɔ ahoɔden sen wɔn.”
13 And Moses said to the Lord, So Egypt shall hear, for you have brought up this people from them by your might.
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Awurade se, “Na Misraimfo no bɛte! Wonam wo tumi so yii saa nnipa yi fii wɔn mu.
14 Moreover all the dwellers upon this land have heard that you are Lord in the midst of this people, who, O Lord, are seen [by them] face to face, and your cloud rests upon them, and you go before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire.
Wɔaka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔte asase yi so a wonim sɛ wowɔ Israel afa, na wo ne wɔn kasa anim ne anim. Wohu omununkum dum ne ogya sɛ egyina yɛn atifi, na wonim sɛ wudi yɛn anim bɔ yɛn ho ban awia ne anadwo.
15 And [if] you shall destroy this nation as one man; then all the nations that have heard your name shall speak, saying,
Na sɛ wukum wo nkurɔfo yi nyinaa a, aman a wɔate wo din no bɛka se,
16 Because the Lord could not bring this people into the land which he sware to them, he has overthrown them in the wilderness.
‘Awurade kum wɔn wɔ sare no so, efisɛ wantumi amfa wɔn ankodu asase a ɔkaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn no so.’
17 And now, O Lord, let your strength be exalted, as you spoke, saying,
“Afei Awurade nna nʼahoɔden adi, sɛnea wahyɛ no:
18 The Lord [is] longsuffering and merciful, and true, removing transgressions and iniquities and sins, and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.
‘Awurade yɛ nyaa wɔ nʼabufuw mu, na ne dɔ ne bɔne ne atuatew so bɔnefakyɛ no boro so. Nanso onnyaw ɔfɔdifo a ɔntwe nʼaso; ɔtwe mma aso wɔ agyanom bɔne ho kosi awo ntoatoaso abiɛsa ne nan mu.’
19 Forgive this people their sin according to your great mercy, as you were favourable to them from Egypt until now.
Wo dɔ kɛse no nti, fa saa nnipa yi bɔne kyɛ wɔn sɛnea wode akyɛ wɔn afi Misraim abesi saa bere yi.”
20 And the Lord said to Moses, I am gracious to them according to your word.
Awurade kaa se, “Mede akyɛ wɔn sɛnea woabisa no.
21 But [as] I live and my name is living, so the glory of the Lord shall fill all the earth.
Nanso sɛ mete ase yi, na Awurade anuonyam ahyɛ asase nyinaa ma yi,
22 For all the men who see my glory, and the signs which I wrought in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and have tempted me this tenth time, and have not listened to my voice,
saa nnipa yi a wohuu mʼanuonyam ne anwonwade a meyɛɛ wɔ Misraim ne sare so no nanso wɔyɛɛ asoɔden de sɔɔ me hwɛɛ mpɛn du no,
23 surely they shall not see the land, which I sware to their fathers; but their children which are with me here, as many as know not good or evil, every inexperienced youth, to them will I give the land; but none who have provoked me shall see it.
wɔn mu biara renhu asase a mekaa ntam de hyɛɛ wɔn agyanom bɔ no. Wɔn a wobuu me animtiaa no mu biara renhu.
24 But my servant Chaleb, because there was another spirit in him, and he followed me, I will bring him into the land into which he entered, and his seed shall inherit it.
Nanso sɛnea ɛsono mʼakoa Kaleb honhom na ofi ne koma nyinaa mu di mʼakyi no nti mede no bɛkɔ asase a ɔkɔɔ so no so, na nʼasefo benya ɛhɔ mu kyɛfa.
25 But Amalec and the Chananite dwell in the valley: to-morrow turn and depart for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.
Esiane sɛ Amalekfo na Kanaanfo tete abon mu no nti, ɔkyena, momfa mo ani nkyerɛ Po Kɔkɔɔ no nkɔ sare no so.”
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Awurade bisaa Mose ne Aaron se,
27 How long [shall I endure] this wicked congregation? I have heard their murmurings against me, [even] the murmuring of the children of Israel, which they have murmured concerning you.
“Enkosi da bɛn na saa nnipa bɔnefo yi benwiinwii atia me? Na mate saa Israelfo yi anwiinwiisɛm yi nyinaa.
28 Say to them, [As] I live, says the Lord: surely as you spoke into my ears, so will I do to you.
Enti ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Awurade na ose, sɛ mete ase yi, mɛyɛ nea metee sɛ moreka no ama mo.
29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all those of you that were reviewed, and those of you that were numbered from twenty years old and upward, all that murmured against me,
Mo nyinaa mubewuwu wɔ sare no so: Efi wɔn a wɔadi mfe aduonu rekɔ no a wɔkan wɔn bi na wɔka ho nwiinwii tiaa me no.
30 you shall not enter into the land for which I stretched out my hand to establish you upon it; except only Chaleb the son of Jephonne, and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
Mo mu biara renkɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Wɔn a wɔbɛkɔ hɔ ara ne Yefune babarima Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua.
31 And your little ones, who you said should be a prey, them will I bring into the land; and they shall inherit the land, which you rejected.
Moka se mo mma bɛyɛ nnipa a wɔte asase no so no nkoa. Mede wɔn bɛkɔ asase no so dwoodwoo ama wɔakɔfa nea muse mompɛ no.
32 And your carcases shall fall in this wilderness.
Na mo de, mo amu na ɛbɛka sare so ha.
33 And your sons shall be fed in the wilderness forty years, and they shall bear your fornication, until your carcases be consumed in the wilderness.
Wɔbɛhwɛ mo mma so wɔ ha mfe aduanan, na wɔahu amane wɔ mo gyidi a munni no nti; akosi sɛ onipa a otwa to no bewu atɔ sare so ha.
34 According to the number of the days during which you spied the land, forty days, a day for a year, you shall bear your sins forty years, and you shall know my fierce anger.
Esiane sɛ akwansrafo no tenaa asase no so adaduanan no nti, ɛsɛ sɛ mo nso mukyinkyin sare no so mfe aduanan a afe biara gyina hɔ ma da koro a ɛyɛ mo bɔne so akatua, na moahu sɛnea ɛte sɛ mɛsɔre atia mo.’
35 I the Lord have spoken, Surely will I do thus to this evil congregation that has risen up together against me: in this wilderness they shall be utterly consumed, and there they shall die.
Me, Awurade, na makasa, na nea ɛte biara no mɛyɛ eyinom atia saa nnipa bɔnefo yi a wayɛ dɔm atia me no. Wobehu wɔn awiei wɔ sare yi so; ɛha na wobewuwu.”
36 And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who came and murmured against it to the assembly so as to bring out evil words concerning the land, —
Enti mmarima a Mose somaa wɔ ma wɔkɔsraa asase no so no, wɔn a wɔsan ba bɛbɔɔ amanneɛ bɔne a ɛnam so maa nnipa no nyinaa nwiinwii tiaa me no,
37 the men that spoke evil reports against the land, even died of the plague before the Lord.
wɔde ɔyare bɔne kunkum saa mmarima a wɔde amanneɛ bɔne tenee wɔ Awurade anim no.
38 And Joshua the son of Naue and Chaleb the son of Jephonne [still] lived of those men that went to spy out the land.
Akwansrafo no nyinaa, Nun ba Yosua ne Yefune ba Kaleb nko ara na wɔtenaa ase.
39 And Moses spoke these words to all the children of Israel; and the people mourned exceedingly.
Mose kɔkaa nsɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ nnipa no no, wɔn nyinaa werɛ howee yiye.
40 And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Behold, we that are here will go up to the place of which the Lord has spoken, because we have sinned.
Wɔsɔree anɔpahema sɛ wɔrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Wɔkae se, “Yɛahu sɛ yɛayɛ bɔne, nanso yɛasiesie yɛn ho sɛ yɛbɛkɔ asase a Awurade hyɛɛ yɛn ho bɔ no so.”
41 And Moses said, Why do you transgress the word of the Lord? you shall not prosper.
Nanso Mose kae se, “Adɛn na morebu Awurade ahyɛde so? Eyi renyɛ ye!
42 Go not up, for the Lord is not with you; so shall you fall before the face of your enemies.
Monsan, mo atamfo no bedi mo so nkonim, efisɛ Awurade nka mo ho.
43 For Amalec and the Chananite [are] there before you, and you shall fall by the sword; because you have disobeyed the Lord and turned aside, and the Lord will not be amongst you.
Amalekfo ne Kanaanfo no behyia mo wɔ hɔ wɔ hɔ? Esiane sɛ moapa Awurade nti, ɔrenka mo ho na mobɛtotɔ wɔ afoa no.”
44 And having forced their passage, they went up to the top of the mountain; but the ark of the covenant of the Lord and Moses stirred not out of the camp.
Nanso wofii wɔn nsusuwii mu foro kɔɔ bepɔw no so a amfa wɔn ho sɛ Awurade Apam adaka no ne Mose mu biara antu amfi atenae hɔ bi.
45 And Amalec and the Chananite that lived in that mountain came down, and routed them, and destroyed them to Herman; and they returned to the camp.
Na Amalekfo ne Kanaanfo a wɔte bepɔw no so no sian ba bɛtow hyɛɛ wɔn so boroo wɔn ara kosii Horma.
