< Leviticus 10 >

1 Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, set light to their incense burners using ordinary fire and put in incense, and in this way offered forbidden fire in the Lord's presence, something he had not authorized.
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 Fire came out from the Lord's presence and burned them up. They died in the Lord's presence.
Enti ogya dɛreɛ firi Awurade nkyɛn bɛhyee wɔn.
3 Moses explained to Aaron, “This is what the Lord was talking about when he said: ‘I will show my holiness to those who approach me; I will reveal my glory so everyone can see.” But Aaron didn't reply.
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 Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron's uncle Uzziel, and told them, “Come and carry away the bodies of your cousins and take them outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”
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 They came and picked them up by their clothes, and took them outside the camp, as Moses had ordered.
Na wɔkɔsoaa wɔn wɔ wɔn ntadeɛ mu sɛdeɛ Mose aka akyerɛ wɔn no.
6 Then Moses told Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Don't leave your hair uncombed, and don't tear your clothes in mourning, otherwise you will die, and the Lord will be angry with everyone. But your relatives and all the other Israelites may mourn for those the Lord killed by fire.
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 Don't go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, because you have been anointed by the Lord.” They did what Moses said.
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 The Lord told Aaron,
Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Aaron sɛ,
9 “You and your descendants must not to drink wine or any other alcohol when you go in to the Tent of Meeting, otherwise you will die. This regulation is for all time and for all future 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 You must realize the difference between the holy and the ordinary, between clean and unclean,
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 so you can teach the Israelites all the regulations that the Lord has given to them through Moses.”
na kyerɛ wɔn mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama no nyinaa.”
12 Moses told Aaron and his two sons who were left, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that is left over from the food offerings given to the Lord and eat it without yeast beside the altar, because 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 You must eat it in a holy place, because it is the share for you and your descendants from the food offerings given to the Lord. This is what I have been ordered.
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 You and your male and female descendants can eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh contribution anywhere that is ceremonially clean, because you and your descendants have been given these as your share from the peace offerings of the Israelites.
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 The thigh contribution and the breast of the wave offering, as well as the fat portions of the food offerings made, they are to bring and wave as a wave offering before the Lord. They belong to you and your children forever as the Lord has ordered.”
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 Moses checked what had happened to the goat of the sin offering, and found out that it had been burned. He got angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons Aaron had left, and asked them,
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 didn't you take the sin offering and eat it in the holy place, because it is most holy and it was given to you to take away the people's guilt by making them right before the Lord.
“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 As its blood was not taken into the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I ordered.”
Esiane sɛ wɔamfa ne mogya ankɔ kronkronbea hɔ no enti, anka mobɛtumi awe no hɔ ara sɛdeɛ mehyɛeɛ no.’”
19 So Aaron explained to Moses, “Look, it was today that they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord. After all that's just happened to me, would the Lord have been pleased if I'd eaten the sin offering today?”
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 When Moses heard what Aaron had to say, he accepted the explanation.
Na Mose tee saa no, ɔgye too mu.
