Numbers 16
1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men;
Kora, Ishar a ɔyɛ Lewi babarima Kohat aseni ne Datan ne Abiram a wɔyɛ Eliab mmabarima ne On a ɔyɛ Pelet babarima a wɔn baasa no fi Ruben abusuakuw mu no yɛɛ ahomaso
2 and they rose up in face of Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty men; they were princes of the congregation, the elect men of the assembly, men of renown;
na wɔsɔre tiaa Mose. Na mpanyimfo atitiriw ahannu aduonum a wɔn nyinaa fra agyinatukuw no mu no ka ho.
3 and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them: 'Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them; wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?'
Wɔkɔɔ Mose ne Aaron hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo ahomaso no amee yɛn; monnyɛ kronkron nsen obiara. Awurade na wayi obiara a ɔwɔ Israel ha na ɔka yɛn nyinaa ho. Tumi bɛn na mowɔ sɛ moma mo ho so sɛ moyɛ mpanyimfo a ɛsɛ sɛ yetie mo na afei moma mo ho so sen obiara wɔ bere a yɛn nyinaa yɛ Awurade mma?”
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face.
Mose tee saa asɛm no, ɔde nʼanim butuw fam.
5 And he spoke unto Korah and unto all his company, saying: 'In the morning the LORD will show who are His, and who is holy, and will cause him to come near unto Him; even him whom He may choose will He cause to come near unto Him.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ Kora ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho no se, “Anɔpa, Awurade bɛkyerɛ mo wɔn a wɔyɛ ne dea ne nea ɔyɛ kronkron ne nea wayi no sɛ ɔmmɛn no.
6 This do: take you censors, Korah, and all his company;
Nea ɛsɛ sɛ wo, Kora ne wʼakyidifo nyinaa yɛ ni: Momfa aduhuamyɛfo nkuku
7 and put fire therein, and put incense upon them before the LORD to-morrow; and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy; ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.'
na ɔkyena monhyew aduhuam wɔ mu wɔ Awurade anim. Na nea Awurade bɛpaw no no na ɔbɛyɛ ɔkronkronni. Afei de, Lewifo moayɛ ama aboro so!”
8 And Moses said unto Korah: 'Hear now, ye sons of Levi:
Mose san bisaa Kora se, “Afei mo Lewifo, muntie!
9 is it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them;
Yi a Israel Nyankopɔn ayi wo afi nnipa bebree mu ama woabɛn no pɛɛ no, a woyɛ Awurade Ahyiae Ntamadan mu adwuma, na wutumi gyina nnipa anim yɛ asɔfodwuma no sua ma wo ana?
10 and that He hath brought thee near, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee? and will ye seek the priesthood also?
Ɔde wo ne wo mfɛfo Lewifo nyinaa abɛn no pɛɛ, nanso afei de, woagyina pintinn sɛ woregye asɔfodwuma no nso.
11 Therefore thou and all thy company that are gathered together against the LORD —; and as to Aaron, what is he that ye murmur against him?'
Ɛyɛ Awurade na wo ne wʼakyidifo abɔ mu atia no no. Hena ne Aaron a wunwiinwii tia no?”
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said: 'We will not come up;
Afei Mose frɛɛ Eliab mmabarima Datan ne Abiram, nanso wobuae se, “Yɛremma!
13 is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but thou must needs make thyself also a prince over us?
So esua ma wo sɛ wode yɛn fi yɛn asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so no so de yɛn aba sare so sɛ worebekum yɛn ana? Na afei, wopɛ sɛ wohyɛ yɛn so nso!
14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards; wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.'
Bio, womfaa yɛn mmaa asase a ɛwo ne nufusu sen wɔ so so anaa nso wommaa yɛn asase ne bobeturo biara sɛ yɛn agyapade. Wopɛ sɛ wode saa nnipa yi yɛ nkoa ana? Dabi, yɛremma.”
15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD: 'Respect not Thou their offering; I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.'
Mose bo fuw na ɔka kyerɛɛ Awurade se, “Nnye wɔn afɔrebɔde biara! Minwiaa wɔn afurum baako mpo na menyɛɛ wɔn mu biara bɔne bi.”
16 And Moses said unto Korah: 'Be thou and all thy congregation before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow;
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Kora se, “Ɔkyena wo ne wʼakyidifo no nyinaa mmra Awurade anim wɔ ha; wo ne wɔn ne Aaron.
17 and take ye every man his fire-pan, and put incense upon them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his fire-pan, two hundred and fifty fire-pans; thou also, and Aaron, each his fire-pan.'
Obiara mfa nʼaduhuamyɛfo nkuku a aduhuam gu so mmra. Obiara mfa aduhuamyɛfo kuku mmra. Ne nyinaa dodow yɛ ahannu aduonum; na momfa mmra Awurade anim. Mo ne Aaron na ɛsɛ sɛ mode ba.”
18 And they took every man his fire-pan, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.
Enti wɔn mu biara de nʼaduhuamyɛfo kuku a wasɔ aduhuam wɔ mu bae na wɔne Mose ne Aaron begyinagyinaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.
19 And Korah assembled all the congregation against them unto the door of the tent of meeting; and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
Bere a Kora aboa nʼakyidifo a wɔasɔre atia wɔn no nyinaa ano wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano no, Awurade daa nʼanuonyam adi kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa.
20 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying:
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
21 'Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.'
“Montwe mo ho mfi saa nnipa yi ho na manya kwan asɛe wɔn prɛko.”
22 And they fell upon their faces, and said: 'O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt Thou be wroth with all the congregation?'
Nanso Mose ne Aaron de wɔn anim butubutuw fam wɔ Awurade anim. Wɔsrɛe se, “Ao, Onyankopɔn, amansan nyinaa Nyankopɔn, sɛ onipa baako yɛ bɔne a, na ɛsɛ sɛ wo bo fu nnipa no nyinaa?”
23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
24 'Speak unto the congregation, saying: Get you up from about the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'
“Ka kyerɛ nnipa no se, ‘Mumfi Kora, Datan ne Abiram ntamadan no mu.’”
25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Enti Mose kɔɔ Datan ne Abiram ntamadan no mu a na Israel mpanyimfo di nʼakyi. Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se,
26 And he spoke unto the congregation, saying: 'Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be swept away in all their sins.'
Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Monsan mfi saa nnipabɔnefo yi ntamadan no mu! Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn biribiara, anyɛ saa a wɔbɛsɛe mo ne wɔn nyinaa, esiane wɔn bɔne nti.”
27 So they got them up from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side; and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, with their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
Enti nnipa no fii Kora, Datan ne Abiram ntamadan no mu. Na Datan ne Abiram nso ne wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma begyinagyinaa wɔn ntamadan no akwan ano.
28 And Moses said: 'Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works, and that I have not done them of mine own mind.
Mose kae se, “Ɛnam eyi so bɛma moahu sɛ, Awurade na ɔsomaa me sɛ menyɛ nea mayɛ yi nyinaa. Ɛnyɛ me ara mʼadwene mu na mifi yɛɛ saa.
29 If these men die the common death of all men, and be visited after the visitation of all men, then the LORD hath not sent Me.
Sɛ owu nko ara na ɛbɛto saa nnipa yi, anaa sɛ wohu nea ɛtaa ba nnipa so nko ara a, na ɛnyɛ Awurade na wasoma me.
30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the ground open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down alive into the pit, then ye shall understand that these men have despised the LORD.' (Sheol h7585)
Na sɛ Awurade ma ade a ɛyɛ foforo koraa ba, na asase bue nʼanom mene wɔn ne wɔn ahode na sɛ wɔkɔ asaman anikann a, ɛbɛma moahu sɛ, saa nnipa yi abu Awurade animtiaa.” (Sheol h7585)
31 And it came to pass, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground did cleave asunder that was under them.
Ka a ɔkaa eyinom wiei ara pɛ, na asase a ɛwɔ wɔn ase no mu paee,
32 And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
na ɛbaee nʼanom menee wɔn ne wɔn abusuafo, wɔn nnamfonom a na wogyinagyina wɔn ho ne wɔn agyapade nyinaa.
33 So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit; and the earth closed upon them, and they perished from among the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
Wowuraa asase mu anikann kɔɔ asaman na asase no san ka too mu ma wɔyera fii ɔman no mu. (Sheol h7585)
34 And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them; for they said: 'Lest the earth swallow us up.'
Israelfo nyinaa guanee a na wɔreteɛteɛ mu se, “Asase rebɛmene yɛn nso!”
35 And fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred and fifty men that offered the incense.
Na ogya fi Awurade nkyɛn bɛhyew nnipa ahannu aduonum a na wɔrehyew aduhuam no nyinaa.
36 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
37 'Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the fire-pans out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are become holy;
“Ka kyerɛ ɔsɔfo Aaron babarima Eleasar sɛ onyi aduhuamyɛfo nkuku no mfi nso no mu, efisɛ ɛyɛ kronkron, na ɔntrɛtrɛw nnyansramma no mu nkɔ akyiri
38 even the fire-pans of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar — for they are become holy, because they were offered before the LORD — that they may be a sign unto the children of Israel.'
mfi saa nnipa a wɔayɛ bɔne awu no aduhuamyɛfo nkuku no ase. Boro aduhuamhyew nkuku no mma ɛnyɛ ntrantraa na momfa nkata afɔremuka no so. Saa aduhuamyɛfo nkuku yi yɛ kronkron, efisɛ wɔde baa Awurade anim. Ma ɛnyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne mma Israelfo no.”
39 And Eleazar the priest took the brazen fire-pans, which they that were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
Enti ɔsɔfo Eleasar faa wɔn a wɔahyew no aduhuamyɛfo nkuku no na ɔboro maa ɛyɛɛ ntrantraa na ɔde kataa afɔremuka no so,
40 to be a memorial unto the children of Israel, to the end that no common man, that is not of the seed of Aaron, draw near to burn incense before the LORD; that he fare not as Korah, and as his company; as the LORD spoke unto him by the hand of Moses.
sɛnea Awurade nam Mose so kyerɛɛ no no. Na Israelfo no nam so akae se obiara a omfi Aaron ase no nni ho kwan sɛ ɔba Awurade anim bɛhyew aduhuam. Sɛ ɔyɛ saa a, asɛm a ɛtoo Kora ne ne ne dɔm no bi bɛto no.
41 But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying: 'Ye have killed the people of the LORD.'
Ade kyee anɔpa no, Israelfo no nyinaa nwiinwii tiaa Mose ne Aaron se, “Moakum Awurade nkurɔfo.”
42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tent of meeting; and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
Nanso bere a nnipa no nyinaa boaa wɔn ho ano sɛ wɔretia Mose ne Aaron na wotwaa wɔn ani hwɛɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no, prɛko pɛ, omununkum no kataa so ma wohuu Awurade anuonyam.
43 And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting.
Mose ne Aaron begyinaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano,
44 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
45 'Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.' And they fell upon their faces.
“Twe wo ho fi saa nnipa yi mu na matumi asɛe wɔn prɛko pɛ.” Na Mose ne Aaron de wɔn anim butubutuu fam.
46 And Moses said unto Aaron: 'Take thy fire-pan, and put fire therein from off the altar, and lay incense thereon, and carry it quickly unto the congregation, and make atonement for them; for there is wrath gone out from the LORD: the plague is begun.'
Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se, “Fa aduhuamyɛfo kuku no na yi ogya fi afɔremuka no so gu mu. Fa aduhuam gu so na fa nnipa no mu ntɛm so fa kɔyɛ mpata ma wɔn, efisɛ Awurade abufuw adu wɔn so. Ɔyaredɔm no afi ase.”
47 And Aaron took as Moses spoke, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people; and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
Aaron yɛɛ nea Mose hyɛɛ no no, na otuu mmirika kɔɔ nnipa no mu. Na ɔyaredɔm no aba ampa, na ɔhyew aduhuam no de yɛɛ mpata maa wɔn.
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Na ogyinaa ateasefo ne awufo ntam, na ɔyaredɔm no gyaee.
49 Now they that died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides them that died about the matter of Korah.
Nanso na nnipa mpem dunan ne ahanson awuwu dedaw abɛka wɔn a wɔne Kora wuwui da a edi anim no ho.
50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tent of meeting, and the plague was stayed.
Ɔyaredɔm no gyaee no, Aaron san kɔɔ Mose nkyɛn wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.
