< Numbers 11 >
1 Now the people complained about their troubles as Yahweh listened. Yahweh heard the people and became angry. Fire from Yahweh burned among them and consumed some of the camp on its edges.
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 Then people called out to Moses, so Moses prayed to Yahweh, and the fire stopped.
Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu frɛɛ Mose sɛ ommegye wɔn no, ɔbɔɔ mpae srɛɛ Awurade maa wɔn na ogya no dumii.
3 That place was named Taberah, because Yahweh's fire burned among 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 Some foreign people began to camp with Israel's descendants. They wanted better food to eat. Then the people of Israel began to weep and say, “Who will give us 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 remember the fish that we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic.
Yɛkae nsumnam a yɛwee wɔ Misraim mpoano no. Saa ara nso na na yenya kokumba, ɛfere, gyeene ne galik di no.
6 Now our appetite is gone, because all we can see is this manna.”
Nanso mprempren de, yɛn anom ato; yenhu hwee sɛ mana nko ara.”
7 Manna was like coriander seed. It looked like resin.
Na mana no kɛse te sɛ wusa aba na ɛsɛ ɛhyɛ a awaawae afi dubona ho agu fam.
8 The people walked around and gathered it. They ground it in mills, beat it in mortars, boiled it in pots, and made it into cakes. It tasted like fresh 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 fell on the camp in the night, the manna also fell.
Obosu tɔ wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ Anadwo a na mana no nso tɔ.
10 Moses heard the people weeping in their families, and every man was at the entrance to his tent. Yahweh was very angry, and in Moses' eyes their complaining was wrong.
Mose tee sɛ mmusuakuw no nyinaa gyinagyina, atwa wɔn ntamadan ho ahyia resu. Eyi hyɛɛ Awurade abufuw yiye, na ɛhaw Mose nso.
11 Moses said to Yahweh, “Why have you treated your servant so badly? Why are you not pleased with me? You make me carry the load of 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 Did I conceive all these people? Have I given them birth so that you should say to me, 'Carry them closely to your chest as a father carries a baby?' Should I carry them to the land that you swore to their ancestors to give them?
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 can I find meat to give to all this people? They are weeping in front of me and are saying, 'Give us meat to eat.'
Ɛhefa na merekɔfa nam abrɛ nnipa yi? Wosu kyerɛ me se, ‘Ma yɛn nam nwe!’
14 I cannot bear all these people alone. They are too much for me.
Me nko ara rentumi nsoa ɔman yi! Adesoa no mu yɛ duru ma me dodo!
15 Since you are treating me this way, kill me now—if I find favor in your eyes—do not let me see my misery.”
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 Yahweh said to Moses, “Bring to me seventy of Israel's elders. Be sure that they are elders and officers of the people. Bring them to the tent of meeting to 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 that is on you and put it on them. They will bear the burden of the people with you. You will not 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 Say to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow and you will indeed eat meat, for you have wept and Yahweh has heard. You said, “Who will give us meat to eat? It was good for us in Egypt.” Therefore Yahweh will give you meat, and you will eat it.
“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 will not eat meat for only one day, two days, five days, ten days, or twenty days,
Ɛnyɛ da koro anaa nnaanu anaa nnaanum anaa nnadu anaa aduonu!
20 but you will eat meat for a whole month until it comes out of your nostrils. It will disgust you because you have rejected Yahweh, who is among you. You have wept before him. You said, “Why did we 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 Then Moses said, “I am with 600,000 people, and you have said, 'I will give them meat to eat for a whole 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 Should we kill flocks and herds to satisfy them? Should we catch all the fish in the sea to satisfy 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 Yahweh said to Moses, “Is my hand short? Now you will see whether or not my word is true.”
Na Awurade bisaa Mose se, “So Awurade basa yɛ tiaa dodo ana? Afei wubehu sɛ mʼasɛm yɛ nokware anaa ɛnyɛ nokware.”
24 Moses went out and told the people Yahweh's words. He gathered seventy of the people's elders and positioned them 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 Yahweh came down in the cloud and spoke to Moses. Yahweh took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied, but only on that occasion and not 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 Two men remained in the camp, named Eldad and Medad. The Spirit also rested on them. Their names were written on the list, but they had not gone out to the tent. Nevertheless, they prophesied in the camp.
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 man in the camp 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, Moses' assistant, one of his chosen men, said to Moses, “My master Moses, 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 Moses said to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all of Yahweh's people were prophets and that he would put his Spirit on them all!”
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 and the elders of Israel went back to the camp.
Na Mose ne Israel mpanyimfo no san kɔɔ wɔn atenae hɔ.
31 Then a wind came from Yahweh and brought quail from the sea. They fell near the camp, about a day's journey on one side and a day's journey on the other side. The quail surrounded the camp about two cubits above the ground.
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 The people were busy gathering quail all that day, all the night, and all the next day. No one gathered less than ten homers of quail. They shared the quail all through 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 While the meat was still between their teeth, while they were chewing it, Yahweh became angry at them. He attacked the people with a very great 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 That place was named Kibroth Hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved meat.
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 From Kibroth Hattaavah the people traveled to Hazeroth, where they stayed.
Ɔman no tu fii Kibrot-Hataawa hɔ kɔtenaa Haserot.
