Numbers 14
1 And all the congregation lifts up, and they give forth their voice, and the people weep during that night;
Saa anadwo no, nnipa no nyinaa fii ase suu denneennen.
2 and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses and against Aaron, and all the congregation says to them, “O that we had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we had died!
Wɔde nne koro nwiinwii tiaa Mose ne Aaron. Wɔkae se, “Sɛ yewuwuu wɔ Misraim anaa sare so ha a, anka eye.
3 And why is YHWH bringing us to this land to fall by the sword, [that] our wives and our infants become a prey? Is it not good for us to return to 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 say to one another, “Let us appoint a head and return to Egypt.”
Na wosisee wɔn ho wɔn ho sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛpaw ɔkannifo na yɛsan kɔ Misraim.”
5 And Moses falls—Aaron also—on their faces, before all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.
Afei, Mose ne Aaron de wɔn anim butubutuu fam wɔ Israelfo a wɔahyia hɔ no nyinaa anim.
6 And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those spying out the land, have torn their garments,
Akwansrafo no mu baanu, a wɔne Nun babarima Yosua ne Yefune babarima Kaleb sunsuan wɔn ntade mu
7 and they speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “The land into which we have passed over to spy it out [is] a very, very good land;
na wɔka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no nyinaa se, “Asase a yɛfaa mu no yɛ asase pa yiye.
8 if YHWH has delighted in us, then He has brought us into this land, and has given it to us, a land which is flowing 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, do not rebel against YHWH: and you, do not fear the people of the land, for they [are] our bread; their defense has turned aside from off them, and YHWH [is] with us; do not fear them.”
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 says to stone them with stones, and the glory of YHWH has appeared in the Tent of Meeting to all the sons 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Until when does this people despise Me? And until when do they not believe in Me, for all the signs which I have done in its midst?
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 strike it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make you become a nation greater and mightier than it.”
Mɛma ɔyaredɔm abeduru wɔn na asɛe wɔn, nanso mɛyɛ mo ɔman kɛse a ɛwɔ ahoɔden sen wɔn.”
13 And Moses says to YHWH, “Then the Egyptians have heard! For with Your power You have brought up this people out of their midst,
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Awurade se, “Na Misraimfo no bɛte! Wonam wo tumi so yii saa nnipa yi fii wɔn mu.
14 and they have said [it] to the inhabitant of this land, they have heard that You, YHWH, [are] in the midst of this people, that You are seen eye to eye—O YHWH, and Your cloud is standing over them—and in a pillar of cloud You are going before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
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 You have put to death this people as one man, and the nations who have heard Your fame have spoken, saying,
Na sɛ wukum wo nkurɔfo yi nyinaa a, aman a wɔate wo din no bɛka se,
16 From YHWH’s want of ability to bring in this people to the land which He has sworn to them, He slaughters 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, please let the power of my Lord be great, as You have spoken, saying,
“Afei Awurade nna nʼahoɔden adi, sɛnea wahyɛ no:
18 YHWH [is] slow to anger and of great kindness, bearing away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third and on a 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 please forgive the iniquity of this people, according to the greatness of Your kindness, and as You have borne with this people from Egypt, even 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 YHWH says, “I have forgiven according to your word,
Awurade kaa se, “Mede akyɛ wɔn sɛnea woabisa no.
21 but nevertheless, as I live, indeed, the whole earth is filled [with] the glory of YHWH,
Nanso sɛ mete ase yi, na Awurade anuonyam ahyɛ asase nyinaa ma yi,
22 for all the men who are seeing My glory and My signs which I have done in Egypt and in the wilderness, and try Me these ten times, 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 they do not see the land which I have sworn to their fathers, indeed, none of those despising Me 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 Caleb, because there has been another spirit with him, and he is fully after Me—I have brought him into the land to where he has entered, and his seed possesses 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 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; tomorrow turn and journey for yourselves into the wilderness—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 YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Awurade bisaa Mose ne Aaron se,
27 “Until when [do I bear] with this evil congregation—they who are murmuring against Me? The murmurings of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against Me, I have heard;
“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—a declaration of YHWH—if, as you have spoken in My ears, do I not do so to you?
Enti ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Awurade na ose, sɛ mete ase yi, mɛyɛ nea metee sɛ moreka no ama mo.
29 Your carcasses fall in this wilderness, even all your numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years and upward, who have 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 do not come into the land [for] which I have lifted up My hand to cause you to dwell in it, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
Mo mu biara renkɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Wɔn a wɔbɛkɔ hɔ ara ne Yefune babarima Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua.
31 As for your infants—of whom you have said, They become a spoil—I have even brought them in, and they have known the land which you have kicked against;
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 as for you—your carcasses fall in this wilderness,
Na mo de, mo amu na ɛbɛka sare so ha.
33 and your sons are shepherding in the wilderness [for] forty years, and have borne your whoredoms until your carcasses are 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 by the number of the days [in] which you spied out the land, forty days—a day for a year, a day for a year—you bear your iniquities [for] forty years, and you have known My opposition;
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, YHWH, have spoken; if, nonetheless, I do this to all this evil congregation who are meeting against Me—they are consumed in this wilderness, and there they 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 Then the men whom Moses has sent to spy out the land, [who] then return and cause all the congregation to murmur against him by bringing out an evil account 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 even the men bringing out an evil account of the land, they die by the plague before YHWH;
wɔde ɔyare bɔne kunkum saa mmarima a wɔde amanneɛ bɔne tenee wɔ Awurade anim no.
38 and Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh have lived, of those men who go to spy out the land.
Akwansrafo no nyinaa, Nun ba Yosua ne Yefune ba Kaleb nko ara na wɔtenaa ase.
39 And Moses speaks these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly,
Mose kɔkaa nsɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ nnipa no no, wɔn nyinaa werɛ howee yiye.
40 and they rise early in the morning, and go up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Here we [are], and we have come up to the place which YHWH has spoken of, for 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 says, “Why [is] this [that] you are transgressing the command of YHWH? For it does not prosper;
Nanso Mose kae se, “Adɛn na morebu Awurade ahyɛde so? Eyi renyɛ ye!
42 do not go up, for YHWH is not in your midst, and you are not struck before your enemies;
Monsan, mo atamfo no bedi mo so nkonim, efisɛ Awurade nka mo ho.
43 for the Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and you have fallen by the sword, because that you have turned back from after YHWH, and YHWH is not with 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 they presume to go up to the top of the mountain, but the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and Moses, have not departed out of the midst 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 the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and strike them, and beat them down to Hormah.
Na Amalekfo ne Kanaanfo a wɔte bepɔw no so no sian ba bɛtow hyɛɛ wɔn so boroo wɔn ara kosii Horma.
