Numbers 16
1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
Ɛda koro bi Kora, Ishar a ɔyɛ Lewi babarima Kohat aseni ne Datan ne Abiram a wɔyɛ Eliab mmammarima ne On a ɔyɛ Pelet babarima a wɔn baasa no firi Ruben abusuakuo mu bɔɔ pɔ
2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
tiaa Mose. Na mpanimfoɔ atitire ahanu aduonum a wɔn nyinaa fra agyinatukuo no mu no ka ho.
3 And they gathered 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 Yhwh is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of Yhwh?
Wɔkɔɔ Mose ne Aaron hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ. “Mo ahomasoɔ no amee yɛn; monnyɛ kronn nsene obiara. Awurade na wayi obiara a ɔwɔ Israel ha na ɔka yɛn nyinaa ho. Adɛn enti na moma mo ho so sene obiara wɔ ɛberɛ a yɛn nyinaa yɛ Awurade mma?”
4 And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
Mose tee saa asɛm yi no, ɔde nʼanim butuu fam.
5 And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow Yhwh will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ Kora ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho no sɛ, “Anɔpa, Awurade bɛkyerɛ mo wɔn a wɔyɛ ne dea ne deɛ ɔyɛ kronkron ne deɛ wɔayi no sɛ ne ɔsɔfoɔ.
6 This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
Deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ nie: Wo, Kora, ne wɔn a wɔka wo ho, ɔkyena momfa aduhwamhyeɛ nkukuo
7 And put fire therein, and put incense in them before Yhwh to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom Yhwh doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
na monhye aduhwam wɔ mu wɔ Awurade anim. Na yɛbɛhunu deɛ Awurade ayi no sɛ ne kronkronni. Afei deɛ, Lewifoɔ moayɛ ama aboro so.”
8 And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
Mose sane bisaa Kora sɛ,
9 Seemeth 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 Yhwh, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
“Yi a Israel Onyankopɔn ayi wo afiri nnipa bebree mu ama woabɛn no pɛɛ no, a woyɛ Awurade Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu adwuma, na wotumi gyina nnipa anim yɛ asɔfodwuma no yɛ wo ade kumaa?
10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
Ɛnyɛ wo anisɔ sɛ ɔde saa adwuma yi ahyɛ Lewifoɔ nko ara nsa? Afei deɛ, woagyina pintinn sɛ woregye asɔfodwuma no ayɛ?
11 For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against Yhwh: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
Deɛ worehwehwɛ ara ne no! Ɛno enti na woreyɛ dɔm atia Awurade. Na ɛdeɛn na Aaron ayɛ a wompɛ?”
12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
Afei Mose frɛɛ Eliab mmammarima Datan ne Abiram, nanso wɔankɔ.
13 Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?
Wɔkaa sɛ, “Wosusu sɛ ɛyɛ asɛnketewa sɛ wode yɛn firi yɛn asase pa Misraim so de yɛn aba ɛserɛ so sɛ worebɛkum yɛn, na afei, wopɛ sɛ wodi yɛn so ɔhene?
14 Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
Afei, womfaa yɛn mmaa asase pa a wohyɛɛ yɛn ho bɔ no so, ɛnna nso wommaa yɛn asase biara a yɛnyɛ so adwuma. Hwan na worepɛ no abu no kwasea? Yɛremma”.
15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto Yhwh, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
Mose bo fuiɛ na ɔka kyerɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Nnye wɔn afɔrebɔdeɛ biara! Menwiaa wɔn afunumu baako mpo na menyɛɛ wɔn mu biara bɔne bi.”
16 And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before Yhwh, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Kora sɛ, “Ɔkyena wo ne wo nnamfonom nyinaa mmra Awurade anim wɔ ha. Aaron nso bɛba ha bi.
17 And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before Yhwh every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
Monkae na momfa mo aduhwamhyeɛ nkukuo a aduhwam gu so mmra. Obiara mfa aduhwamhyeɛ kukuo mmra. Ne nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ ahanu aduonum, na momfa mmrɛ Awurade. Na Aaron nso de ne deɛ bɛba ha bi.”
18 And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
Enti wɔyɛɛ saa. Wɔde wɔn aduhwamhyeɛ nkukuo baeɛ. Wɔsɔɔ ano de aduhwam guu so na wɔne Mose ne Aaron bɛgyinagyinaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.
19 And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of Yhwh appeared unto all the congregation.
Na Kora ahwanyane ɔman no nyinaa atia Mose ne Aaron enti, na wɔn nyinaa aboa wɔn ho ano rehwɛ. Afei, Awurade de animuonyam baa nnipa no nyinaa so
20 And Yhwh spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
21 Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
“Montwe mo ho mfiri saa nnipa yi ho na manya ɛkwan asɛe wɔn ntɛm.”
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 butubutuu fam wɔ Awurade anim. Wɔsrɛɛ sɛ, “Ao, Onyankopɔn, amansan nyinaa Onyankopɔn, sɛ onipa baako yɛ bɔne a, na ɛsɛ sɛ wo bo fu nnipa no nyinaa?”
23 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
24 Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
“Ɛnneɛ ka kyerɛ nnipa no na wɔmfiri Kora, Datan ne Abiram ntomadan no mu.”
25 And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Enti, Mose yɛɛ ntɛm kɔɔ Datan ne Abiram ntomadan no mu a Israel mpanimfoɔ ahanu aduonum di nʼakyi. Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ,
26 And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
“Ntɛm, momfiri saa nnipabɔnefoɔ yi ntomadan mu na mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn biribiara. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, wɔde mo bɛka wɔn bɔne a wɔayɛ no ho na wɔbɛsɛe mo ne wɔn nyinaa.”
27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
Enti, nnipa no firii Kora, Datan ne Abiram ntomadan no mu kɔgyinagyinaa akyire. Ɛnna Datan ne Abiram nso ne wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma bɛgyinagyinaa wɔn ntomadan no akwan ano.
28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that Yhwh hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
Mose kaa sɛ, “Ɛnam yei so bɛma moahunu sɛ, Awurade na ɔsomaa me sɛ menyɛ deɛ mayɛ yi nyinaa. Ɛnyɛ me ara me tumi mu na mefiri yɛɛ saa.
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then Yhwh hath not sent me.
Sɛ owuo nko ara na ɛbɛto saa nnipa yi, anaa sɛ wɔhunu deɛ ɛtaa ba nnipa so nko ara a, na ɛnyɛ Awurade na wasoma me.
30 But if Yhwh make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked Yhwh. (Sheol h7585)
Na sɛ Awurade nam anwanwakwan so pae asase mu ma emu bue na ɛmene wɔn ne wɔn ahodeɛ na sɛ wɔkɔ asamando anikann a, ɛbɛma moahunu sɛ, saa nnipa yi bu Awurade animtia.” (Sheol h7585)
31 And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
Wankasa anwie koraa, asase a ɛwɔ wɔn ase no mu paee prɛko pɛ,
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 ɛmenee wɔn ne wɔn ntomadan, wɔn abusuafoɔ, wɔn nnamfonom a na wɔgyinagyina wɔn ho ne wɔn agyapadeɛ nyinaa.
33 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 congregation. (Sheol h7585)
Enti, wɔwuraa asase mu anikann kɔɔ asamando na asase no sane ka too mu ma wɔyeraeɛ. (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 also.
Israelfoɔ nyinaa de nteateamu dwaneeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, “Nna wɔsuro sɛ asase no bɛmene wɔn nso!”
35 And there came out a fire from Yhwh, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
Afei, ogya firi Awurade nkyɛn bɛhyee nnipa ahanu aduonum a na wɔrehye aduhwam no nyinaa.
36 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
37 Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
“Ka kyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron babarima Eleasa sɛ ɔnyi aduhwamhyeɛ nkukuo no mfiri ogya no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ kronkron, na ɔnyi gyasramma no
38 The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before Yhwh, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
mfiri saa nnipa a wɔayɛ bɔne awu no aduhwamhyeɛ nkukuo no aseɛ. Ɔbɛboro aduhwamhyeɛ nkukuo no ama ayɛ trawa na ɔde akata afɔrebukyia no so. Saa aduhwamhyeɛ nkukuo yi yɛ kronkron, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔde adi dwuma wɔ Awurade anim. Na afɔrebukyia no nkatasoɔ yi bɛyɛ kɔkɔbɔ ama Israelfoɔ.”
39 And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
Enti, ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa faa aduhwamhyeɛ nkukuo ahanu aduonum no na ɔboro ma ɛyɛɛ ntrawa na ɔde kataa afɔrebukyia no so,
40 To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before Yhwh; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as Yhwh said to him by the hand of Moses.
na Israelfoɔ no nam so akae sɛ obiara a wɔmmaa no ho kwan anaa ɔmfiri Aaron ase no, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔba Awurade anim bɛhye aduhwam. Sɛ ɔyɛ saa a, asɛm a ɛtoo Kora ne nʼahokafoɔ no bi bɛto no. Sei na Mose yɛɛ deɛ Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ 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 Yhwh.
Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, nnipa no nyinaa firii aseɛ nwiinwii tiaa Mose ne Aaron sɛ, “Moakum Awurade nkurɔfoɔ.”
42 And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yhwh appeared.
Ankyɛre koraa, nnipa no nyinaa boaa wɔn ho ano. Wɔgu so rehwɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no, prɛko pɛ, omununkum no pueeɛ ma wɔhunuu Awurade animuonyam nwanwaso no.
43 And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
Mose ne Aaron bɛgyinaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano,
44 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
“Twe wo ho firi saa nnipa yi mu na matumi asɛe wɔn prɛko pɛ.” Nanso, Mose ne Aaron de wɔn anim butubutuu fam wɔ Awurade anim.
46 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from Yhwh; the plague is begun.
Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ, “Ntɛm, fa aduhwamhyeɛ kukuo no na yi ogya firi afɔrebukyia no so gu mu. Fa aduhwam gu so na fa fa nnipa no mu ntɛm so fa kɔyɛ mpatadeɛ ma wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade abufuo aduru wɔn so. Ɔyaredɔm no afiri aseɛ.”
47 And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
Aaron yɛɛ deɛ Mose hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no, na ɔtuu mmirika faa nnipa no mu. Na ɔyaredɔm no aba ampa, na ɔhyee aduhwam no de yɛɛ mpatadeɛ maa wɔn.
48 And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Na ɔgyinaa ateasefoɔ ne awufoɔ ntam, na ɔyaredɔm no gyaeeɛ,
49 Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
nanso, na nnipa mpem dunan ne ahanson awuwu dada abɛka wɔn a wɔne Kora wuwuiɛ ɛda a ɛdi animu no ho.
50 And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
Ɔyaredɔm no gyaeeɛ no, Aaron sane kɔɔ Mose nkyɛn wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.
