Numbers 11
1 It wasn't long before the people started to complain about how much they were suffering. When the Lord heard what they were saying, he became angry. Fire from the Lord burned them, destroying some on the edge of the camp.
Ankyɛ biara na nnipa no fii ase nwiinwii sɛ nneɛma nkɔ yiye mma wɔn, na Awurade tee. Nʼabufuw sɔree wɔ wɔn anwiinwii no ho. Eyi nti, Awurade maa ogya bɛhyew beae a na wɔte hɔ no mfikyiri baabi.
2 The people cried to Moses for help. He prayed to the Lord and the fire subsided.
Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu frɛɛ Mose sɛ ommegye wɔn no, ɔbɔɔ mpae srɛɛ Awurade maa wɔn na ogya no dumii.
3 So that place was named Taberah, because the fire from the Lord burned them.
Efi saa bere no, wɔtoo beae hɔ din se Tabera a ne nkyerɛase ne “Ahyewee,” efisɛ ogya a efi Awurade nkyɛn no hyew wɔn atenae hɔ.
4 A group of troublemakers among them had such intense food cravings they affected the Israelites who started crying again, asking “Who's going to get us some meat to eat?
Misraimfo a na wɔwɔ wɔn ntam no kɔn dɔɔ nneɛma pa a na ɛwɔ Misraim no. Eyi amma Israelfo no ani ansɔ baabi a na wɔwɔ hɔ no, enti wosui se, “Hena na ɔbɛma yɛn aduan adi?
5 We think back to all the fish we ate in Egypt that didn't cost us anything, as well as the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic.
Yɛkae nsumnam a yɛwee wɔ Misraim mpoano no. Saa ara nso na na yenya kokumba, ɛfere, gyeene ne galik di no.
6 We're fading away here! The only thing we ever see is this manna!”
Nanso mprempren de, yɛn anom ato; yenhu hwee sɛ mana nko ara.”
7 Manna looked like coriander seeds, light in color like gum resin.
Na mana no kɛse te sɛ wusa aba na ɛsɛ ɛhyɛ a awaawae afi dubona ho agu fam.
8 The people would go out and collect it, grind it up in a mill or crush it in a mortar. Then they would boil it in a pot and make it into flatbread. It tasted like pastries made with the best olive oil.
Nnipa no tase fii fam na wɔayam anaa wɔasiw wɔ ɔwaduru mu ma adan esiam. Wowie a, wɔnoa de bi yɛ tetare. Woka wʼano a, ɛte sɛ tetare a wɔakyew wɔ nhabamma ngo mu.
9 When the dew came down on the camp at night the manna would come down with it.
Obosu tɔ wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ Anadwo a na mana no nso tɔ.
10 Moses heard all the families crying at the entrance to their tents. The Lord became very angry, and Moses was also upset.
Mose tee sɛ mmusuakuw no nyinaa gyinagyina, atwa wɔn ntamadan ho ahyia resu. Eyi hyɛɛ Awurade abufuw yiye, na ɛhaw Mose nso.
11 He asked the Lord, “Why have you made things so tough for me, your servant? Why are you so unhappy with me that you have placed on me the heavy responsibility for all these people?
Mose bisaa Awurade se, “Adɛn nti na wode ɔhaw sɛɛ aba wʼakoa so? Dɛn na mayɛ atia wo a na wode saa nnipa a wɔte sɛɛ yi nyinaa adesoa abɛsoa me?
12 Are they my children? Did I give birth to them, so you could tell me, ‘Hold them close to your chest like a nurse carrying a baby’ and take them to the land you promised to give to their forefathers?
Me na minyinsɛn nnipa yi nyinaa? Me na mewoo wɔn? Adɛn nti na wuse minturu wɔn wɔ me nsa so sɛ nkokoaa nkosi sɛ yebedu asase a wohyɛɛ wɔn agyanom ho bɔ no so?
13 Where am I supposed to get meat for all of them? They keep on complaining to me, ‘Get us some meat to eat!’
Ɛhefa na merekɔfa nam abrɛ nnipa yi? Wosu kyerɛ me se, ‘Ma yɛn nam nwe!’
14 I can't go on carrying all these people by myself—it's just too much.
Me nko ara rentumi nsoa ɔman yi! Adesoa no mu yɛ duru ma me dodo!
15 If this is the way you're going to treat me, then please just kill me now so I don't have to face how depressed I've become. Please grant me this one request.”
Na sɛ saa na wo ne me bedi no de a, mesrɛ, kum me, sɛ manya wʼanim anuonyam a, na mma minnhyia mʼankasa me sɛe.”
16 The Lord told Moses, “Bring before me seventy Israelite elders who you know are repected as leaders by the people Take them to the Tent of Meeting. They will stand there with you.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Frɛ Israelfo mpanyimfo no mu aduɔson ma me; fa wɔn bra Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu na wo ne wɔn nnyina hɔ.
17 I will come down and talk with you there. I will take some of the Spirit you have and give it to them. They will take some of the responsibility for the people so you won't have to bear it alone.
Mɛba hɔ na me ne wo abɛkasa na honhom a ɛwɔ wo so no, mɛfa na mede akogu wɔn nso so bi; ɛba saa a, wɔne wo bɛsoa nnipa no adesoa sɛnea ɛrenyɛ wo nko ara wʼadesoa.
18 Tell the people: Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you'll have meat to eat, because you were complaining and the Lord heard you saying, ‘Who's going to get us some meat to eat? We were better off in Egypt!’ So the Lord is going to provide you with meat to eat.
“Ka kyerɛ nnipa no se: Munnwira mo ho na ɔkyena, mubenya nam awe. Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Awurade ate mo sufrɛ a ɛfa nneɛma a mugyaw no Misraim no ho na ɔrebɛma mo nam na mobɛwe.
19 You're going to eat it, not for just a day or two, and not for five or ten or twenty days.
Ɛnyɛ da koro anaa nnaanu anaa nnaanum anaa nnadu anaa aduonu!
20 You're going to eat it for a whole month until it makes you vomit and it comes out through your nostrils, because you have rejected the Lord who is right here with you, complaining to him by saying, ‘Why on earth did we ever leave Egypt?’”
Na ɔsram baako mu, mobɛwe nam ara ama afono mo ama afa mo hwene mu. Efisɛ moapo Awurade a ɔka mo ho wɔ ha no, na moasu wɔ nʼanim se, adɛn nti na yefii Misraim?’”
21 But Moses replied, “Here I am with 600,000 people and you're telling me, ‘I'm going to give them meat and they'll eat it for a month’?
Mose kae se, “Mmarima nko ara mpem ahansia na wɔwɔ ha, ɛno na woahyɛ wɔn bɔ sɛ wobɛma wɔn nam awe ara ɔsram!
22 Even if all our flocks and herds were slaughtered, would that be enough for them? Even if all the fish in the sea were caught, would that be enough for them?”
Sɛ yekum nguan ne anantwi ma wɔn a ɛbɛso wɔn ana? Sɛ wɔkyere po mu nam nyinaa ma wɔn a ɛbɛso wɔn ana?”
23 “Doesn't the Lord have the power to do that?” the Lord responded. “Now you're going to find out whether what I've said will happen or not!”
Na Awurade bisaa Mose se, “So Awurade basa yɛ tiaa dodo ana? Afei wubehu sɛ mʼasɛm yɛ nokware anaa ɛnyɛ nokware.”
24 Moses went and shared with the people what the Lord said. He summoned seventy elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.
Enti Mose fii Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu hɔ kɔkaa nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Ɔboaboaa mpanyimfo aduɔson ano ma wotwaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho hyiae.
25 Then the Lord came down and talked to him. The Lord took some of the Spirit Moses had and gave it to them. They prophesied, but this didn't ever happen again.
Na Awurade nam omununkum mu baa fam ne Mose kasae, na ɔfaa honhom a ɛwɔ Mose so no de guu mpanyimfo aduɔson no so. Bere a honhom no baa wɔn so kakra no, wɔhyɛɛ nkɔm mmere tiaa bi mu.
26 However, two men named Eldad and Medad had stayed behind in the camp. The Spirit came on them too. (They had been put on the list of the seventy elders, but they hadn't gone to the tent. But they prophesied where they were in the camp anyway.)
Nanso na mpanyimfo aduɔson no mu baanu a wɔfrɛ wɔn Eldad ne Medad da so wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ. Na bere a honhom no baa wɔn so wɔ hɔ no, wɔhyɛɛ nkɔm wɔ hɔ.
27 A young lad ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
Mmerante bi tuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ Mose asɛm a asi no ho amanneɛ
28 Joshua, son of Nun, who had been Moses' assistant since he was young, reacted, saying, “Moses, my lord, you have to stop them!”
na Nun babarima Yosua a na wɔayi no sɛ ɔnyɛ Mose boafo no ampene so, na ɔkae se, “Me wura Mose, ma wonnyae!”
29 “Are you jealous for my reputation?” Moses replied. “I wish that every one of the Lord's people were prophets and that the Lord would give his Spirit to all of them!”
Mose bisaa no se, “Me ho na woretwe ninkunu yi? Ɛkaa me nko a, na anka Awurade nkurɔfo nyinaa yɛ adiyifo a Awurade de ne honhom agu wɔn nyinaa so!”
30 Then Moses went back to the camp with the elders of Israel.
Na Mose ne Israel mpanyimfo no san kɔɔ wɔn atenae hɔ.
31 The Lord sent a wind that blew quail in from the sea and deposited them near the camp. They covered the ground to a depth of about two cubits and extended for a day's journey in every direction from the camp.
Na Awurade bɔɔ ahum maa ɛde mmoko fi po mu beguu atenae hɔ ne ɛho mmaa nyinaa. Baabiara a obi bɛfa no, na nnomaa yi bi atu nenam asase ani bɛyɛ anammɔn anan.
32 All through that day and night, and all through the next day, the people went on collecting the quail. Everyone collected at least ten homers, and they spread them out to dry all around the camp.
Enti da mu no nyinaa, nnipa kyekyeree mmoko no bi kunkum wɔn awia ne anadwo ne nʼadekyee nso. Nea wannya bi no koraa na onyaa susukoraa ɔha! Mmoko buu so wɔ atenae hɔ nyinaa.
33 But while the people were still biting into the meat, before they even chewed it down, the Lord showed his burning anger against them, killing some of them with a severe disease.
Na nnipa no fii ase wee mmoa no bi no, Awurade bo san fuw wɔn maa ɔde ɔyaredɔm kum wɔn mu fa kɛse no ara.
34 They named that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because that was where they buried the people who had these intense food cravings.
Enti wɔtoo beae hɔ din se Kibrot-Hataawa a nkyerɛase ne, “Akɔnnɔ ɔda” efisɛ wɔn a na wɔn ani bere nam na wɔn kɔn adɔ Misraim tena no na wosiee wɔn wɔ hɔ.
35 Then they moved on from Kibroth-hattaavah to Hazeroth, where they stayed for some time.
Ɔman no tu fii Kibrot-Hataawa hɔ kɔtenaa Haserot.
