< Numbers 14 >
1 And it lifted up all the congregation and they gave forth voice their and they wept the people in the night that.
Afei, nnipa no nyinaa firii aseɛ suu dendeenden anadwo no nyinaa.
2 And they grumbled on Moses and on Aaron all [the] people of Israel and they said to them all the congregation if we had died in [the] land of Egypt or in the wilderness this if we had died.
Wɔde nne korɔ kasa tiaa Mose ne Aaron. Wɔsuu sɛ, “Sɛ yɛwuwuu wɔ Misraim anaa ɛserɛ so ha a, anka yɛpɛ no saa ara
3 And why? [is] Yahweh bringing us into the land this to fall by the sword wives our and little one[s] our they will become plunder ¿ not good for us [is] to return Egypt towards.
sen sɛ wɔde yɛn bɛkɔ kuro a ɛwɔ yɛn anim no so. Awurade bɛkum yɛn wɔ hɔ na yɛn yerenom ne yɛn mma ayɛ nkoa wɔ hɔ. Momma yɛmfiri ha na yɛnkɔ Misraim!”
4 And they said each to brother his let us appoint a leader and let us return Egypt towards.
Saa asɛm yi dii wɔn nyinaa tirim dɛm. Enti wɔteaam sɛ, “Momma yɛnyi ɔpanin bi na ɔnni yɛn anim nsane mfa yɛn nkɔ Misraim.”
5 And he fell Moses and Aaron on faces their before all [the] assembly of [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel.
Afei, Mose ne Aaron de wɔn anim butubutuu fam wɔ Israelfoɔ no anim.
6 And Joshua [the] son of Nun and Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh one of those [who] spied out the land they tore clothes their.
Akwansrafoɔ baanu, a wɔn ne Nun babarima Yosua ne Yefune babarima Kaleb sunsuanee wɔn ntadeɛ mu
7 And they said to all [the] congregation of [the] people of Israel saying the land which we passed in it to spy out it [is] good the land very very.
na wɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa sɛ, “Asase a ɛda yɛn anim no yɛ asase pa.
8 If he delights in us Yahweh and he will bring us into the land this and he will give it to us a land which it [is] flowing of milk and honey.
Na sɛ yɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɔde yɛn bɛduru asase no so dwoodwoo na ɔde hɔ ahyɛ yɛn nsa. Ɛyɛ asase bereɛ, asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ sen wɔ soɔ, na ɔde bɛma yɛn.
9 Only against Yahweh may not you rebel and you may not you fear [the] people of the land for [will be] bread our they it has departed shade their from over them and Yahweh [is] with us may not you fear them.
Ao, monnyɛ dɔm ntia Awurade, na monnsuro nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so no nso. Na wɔte sɛ burodo bi a yɛdie ma yɛn! Awurade ne yɛn wɔ hɔ na wɔn deɛ, wayi ne nsa afiri wɔn so! Monnsuro wɔn!”
10 And they said all the congregation to stone them with stones and [the] glory of Yahweh it appeared at [the] tent of meeting to all [the] people of Israel.
Nanso mmuaeɛ a nnipa no maeɛ ara ne sɛ, wɔbɛsi wɔn aboɔ. Afei, Awurade animuonyam baeɛ
11 And he said Yahweh to Moses until when? will they spurn me the people this and until when? not will they believe in me with all the signs which I did in midst its.
na Awurade bisaa Mose sɛ, “Nnipa yi bɛbu me animtia akɔsi da bɛn? Anwanwadeɛ dodoɔ a mayɛ akyerɛ wɔn yi nyinaa akyi no, wɔnnye me nni?
12 I will strike it with pestilence and I will dispossess it and I may make you a nation great and mighty more than it.
Mɛgye wɔn nsam nneɛma a mede ama wɔn nyinaa na mama ɔyaredɔm asɛe wɔn na mayɛ mo ɔman kɛseɛ a ɛso sene wɔn!”
13 And he said Moses to Yahweh and they will hear Egypt that you brought up by strength your the people this from midst its.
Mose srɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Na sɛ Misraimfoɔ yi te a, ɛdeɛn asɛm na wɔbɛdwene? Wɔn nyinaa hunuu tumi a wonam so de gyee wo nkurɔfoɔ.
14 And they will say to [the] inhabitant[s] of the land this they have heard that you O Yahweh [are] in [the] midst of the people this who eye in eye he was seen - you O Yahweh and cloud your [is] standing over them and in a pillar of cloud you [are] going before them by day and in a pillar of fire night.
Wɔaka saa asɛm yi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔte asase yi so a wɔnim, Awurade, sɛ wowɔ Israel afa, na wo ne wɔn kasa anim ne anim. Wɔhunu omununkum dum ne ogya sɛ ɛgyina yɛn atifi, na wɔnim sɛ wodi yɛn anim bɔ yɛn ho ban awia ne anadwo.
15 And you will put to death the people this like a person one and they will say the nations which they have heard report your saying.
Na sɛ wokum wo nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa a, aman a wɔate wo din no bɛka sɛ,
16 Because not was able Yahweh to bring the people this into the land which he swore to them and he has slaughtered them in the wilderness.
‘ɛsɛ sɛ Awurade kum wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wantumi anhwɛ wɔn so wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ. Ɔnni ahoɔden a ɔnam so bɛtumi de wɔn aba asase a ɔkaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn no so.’
17 And therefore may it be great please [the] power of [the] Lord just as you have spoken saying.
“Ao, mesrɛ wo, fa wo tumi kɛseɛ a ntoboaseɛ wɔ mu no so fa yɛn bɔne kyɛ yɛn, na dɔ yɛn yie. Ɛwom sɛ woaka sɛ,
18 Yahweh [is] long of anger and great of covenant loyalty forgiving iniquity and transgression and certainly not he will leave unpunished visiting [the] iniquity of parents on [the] children on a third generation and on a fourth generation.
‘Awurade bo kyɛre fu na nʼadɔeɛ dɔɔso. Nanso ɔbɔnefoɔ remfa ne ho nni a wɔntwe nʼaso; nanso, fa yɛn bɔne kyɛ yɛn. Yɛnim sɛ wonam agyanom bɔne so twee wɔn mma a wɔwɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ mmiɛnsa ne nan mu no aso.’
19 Forgive please [the] iniquity of the people this according to [the] greatness of covenant loyalty your and just as you have forgiven the people this from Egypt and until now.
Ao, mesrɛ wo, fa saa nnipa yi bɔne kyɛ wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, wo dɔ enti, wode wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn firi Misraim abɛsi saa ɛberɛ yi.”
20 And he said Yahweh I have forgiven [them] according to word your.
Awurade kaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, mede bɛkyɛ wɔn sɛdeɛ woabisa no.
21 And but [by] [the] life of me so may be filled [with the] glory of Yahweh all the earth.
Nanso, sɛ mete ase yi, na Awurade animuonyam ahyɛ asase nyinaa ma yi,
22 For all the men who saw glory my and signs my which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness and they have put to [the] test me this ten times and not they have listened to voice my.
saa nnipa yi mu biara rensi asase no so ɛda biara da. Wɔahunu mʼanimuonyam ne anwanwadeɛ a meyɛɛ wɔ Misraim ne ɛserɛ so no, nanso ɛberɛ biara wɔyɛ asoɔden de sɔ me hwɛ.
23 If they will see the land which I swore to ancestors their and all [those who] have spurned me not they will see it.
Wɔrenhunu asase a mede hyɛɛ wɔn agyanom bɔ no. Wɔn a wɔyɛɛ asoɔden kyerɛɛ me no mu biara rensi hɔ.
24 And servant my Caleb consequence it has been a spirit another with him and he has filled after me and I will bring him into the land where he went there and offspring his it will take possession of it.
Nanso, mʼakoa Kaleb yɛ onipa sononko. Wadi me nsɛm so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Mede no bɛkɔ asase a ɔkɔɔ so sɛ ɔkwansrafoɔ no, na nʼasefoɔ anya ɛhɔ mu kyɛfa.
25 And the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] [was] dwelling in the valley[s] tomorrow turn and set out for yourselves the wilderness [the] way of [the] sea of reed[s].
Nanso, ɛsiane sɛ Israelfoɔ suro Amalekfoɔ na Kanaanfoɔ tete bɔnhwa mu no enti, ɔkyena, ɛsɛ sɛ mosane de mo ani kyerɛ Po Kɔkɔɔ no kɔ ɛserɛ so.”
26 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses and to Aaron saying.
Awurade bisaa Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
27 Until when? to the congregation evil this which they [are] grumbling on me [the] grumblings of [the] people of Israel which they [are] grumbling on me I have heard.
“Da bɛn na saa nnipa bɔnefoɔ yi bɛgyae me ho nkɔmmɔdie? Na mate nsɛm a wɔka fa me ho nyinaa.
28 Say to them [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of Yahweh if not just as you have spoken in ears my so I will do to you.
Ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Awurade ka ntam sɛ ɔbɛyɛ deɛ mosuro.
29 In the wilderness this they will fall corpses your and all enrolled [men] your of all number your from a son of twenty year[s] and up-wards who you have grumbled on me.
Mo nyinaa mobɛwuwu wɔ ɛserɛ so ha: Ɛfiri wɔn a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu rekorɔ no a wɔadi me ho nkɔmmɔ no,
30 If you you will go into the land which I lifted up hand my to cause to dwell you in it that except Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh and Joshua [the] son of Nun.
wɔn mu biara renkɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Wɔn a wɔbɛkɔ hɔ ara ne Yefune babarima Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua.
31 And little one[s] your who you said plunder he will become and I will bring them and they will know the land which you have rejected it.
Moka sɛ mo mma bɛyɛ nnipa a wɔte asase no so no nkoa. Ɛyɛ, mede wɔn bɛkɔ asase no so dwoodwoo ama wɔakɔfa deɛ mose mompɛ no.
32 And corpses your you they will fall in the wilderness this.
Na mo deɛ, mo amu na ɛbɛka ɛserɛ so ha.
33 And children your they will be shepherds in the wilderness forty year[s] and they will bear prostitution your until are finished corpses your in the wilderness.
Ɛsɛ sɛ mokyini ɛserɛ so ha sɛ atutenafoɔ mfeɛ aduanan. Saa ɛkwan yi so na mobɛfa atua mo gyidie a monni ho ka kɔsi sɛ onipa a ɔtwa toɔ no bɛwu atɔ ɛserɛ so ha.
34 By [the] number of the days which you spied out the land forty day[s] a day for the year a day for the year you will bear iniquities your forty year[s] and you will know opposition my.
Esiane sɛ akwansrafoɔ no tenaa asase no so adaduanan no enti, ɛsɛ sɛ mo nso mokyinkyini ɛserɛ no so mfeɛ aduanan a afe biara gyina hɔ ma ɛda koro a ɛyɛ mo bɔne so akatua. Sɛ meyɛ obi ɔtamfoɔ a mobɛhunu sɛdeɛ ɛteɛ.’
35 I Yahweh I have spoken if not - this I will do to all the congregation evil this which has gathered on me in the wilderness this they will meet their end and there they will die.
Me, Awurade, na makasa. Mo mu biara a wayɛ dɔm atia me no bɛwu wɔ ɛserɛ so ha.”
36 And the men whom he sent Moses to spy out the land and they returned (and they caused to grumble *Q(K)*) on him all the congregation by bringing out a bad report on the land.
Akwansrafoɔ edu no a wɔbɔɔ nnipa no hu ma wɔyɛɛ dɔm tiaa Awurade no,
37 And they died the men [who] brought out [the] unfavorable report of the land evil by plague before Yahweh.
wɔkunkumm wɔn wɔ Awurade anim.
38 And Joshua [the] son of Nun and Caleb [the] son of Jephunneh they lived of the men those who went to spy out the land.
Akwansrafoɔ no nyinaa, Kaleb ne Yosua nko ara na wɔtenaa ase.
39 And he spoke Moses the words these to all [the] people of Israel and they mourned the people exceedingly.
Mose kɔkaa nsɛm a Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no no kyerɛɛ nnipa no no, wɔn nyinaa werɛ hoeɛ.
40 And they rose early in the morning and they went up to [the] top of the hill country saying here [are] we and we will go up to the place which he said Yahweh that we have sinned.
Wɔsɔree anɔpahema sɛ wɔrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Wɔkaa sɛ, “Yɛahunu sɛ yɛayɛ bɔne, nanso, yɛasiesie yɛn ho sɛ yɛbɛkɔ asase a Awurade hyɛɛ yɛn ho bɔ no so.”
41 And he said Moses why? this [are] you transgressing [the] mouth of Yahweh and it not it will succeed.
Nanso, Mose kaa sɛ, “Aka akyi. Afei, morebu Awurade asɛm a ɔkaa sɛ monsane nkɔ ɛserɛ so no so.
42 May not you go up for not Yahweh [will be] in midst your and not you will be defeated before enemies your.
Monnkɔ sɛdeɛ moasusu no, anyɛ saa a, atamfoɔ no bɛdi mo so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade nni mo afa.
43 For the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] [are] there before you and you will fall by the sword for since you have turned back from after Yahweh and not he will be Yahweh with you.
Mo werɛ afiri sɛ Amalekfoɔ ne Kanaanfoɔ wɔ hɔ? Moapa Awurade enti ɔno nso bɛpa mo.”
44 And they presumed to go up to [the] top of the hill country and [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh and Moses not they departed from [the] midst of the camp.
Nanso, wɔtoaa so foro kɔɔ bepɔ no so a ɛmfa wɔn ho sɛ Awurade adaka no ne Mose mu biara amfiri atenaeɛ hɔ.
45 And he came down the Amalekite[s] and the Canaanite[s] who dwelt in the hill country that and they struck them and they scattered them to Hormah.
Afei, Amalekfoɔ ne Kanaanfoɔ a wɔte bepɔ no so no siane baa fam bɛto hyɛɛ wɔn so boroo wɔn ara kɔsii Horma.
