Numbers 20

1 And the sons of Israel come in, — all the company — to the wilderness of Zin, in the first month, and the people abide in Kadesh, and Miriam dieth there, and is buried there.

Israelfo no nyinaa duu Sin sare so ɔsram a edi kan no mu, na wɔtenaa Kades. Ɛhɔ na Miriam wu maa wosiee no.

2 And there hath been no water for the company, and they are assembled against Moses, and against Aaron,

Na nsu a wɔbɛnom nni hɔ nti, nnipa no sɔre tiaa Mose ne Aaron.

3 and the people strive with Moses, and speak, saying, 'And oh that we had expired when our brethren expired before Jehovah!

Nnipa no ne Mose hamee se, “Sɛ yɛne yɛn nuanom wuwuu wɔ Awurade anim a anka yɛpɛ.

4 and why have ye brought in the assembly of Jehovah unto this wilderness to die there, we and our beasts?

Adɛn nti na mode Awurade man ne yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi aba sare yi so sɛ yemmewuwu?

5 and why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to bring us in unto this evil place? no place of seed, and fig, and vine, and pomegranate; and water there is none to drink.

Adɛn nti na muyii yɛn fii Misraim de yɛn baa asase bɔne yi so? Borɔdɔma, atoko ne bobe nni asase yi so. Nsu a yɛbɛnom nso nni ha.”

6 And Moses and Aaron go in from the presence of the assembly unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and fall on their faces, and the honour of Jehovah is seen by them.

Mose ne Aaron fii dɔm no hɔ kɔɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano de wɔn anim butubutuw fam wɔ Awurade anim; na wohuu Awurade anuonyam.

7 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

8 'Take the rod, and assemble the company, thou and Aaron thy brother; and ye have spoken unto the rock before their eyes, and it hath given its water, and thou hast brought out to them water from the rock, and hast watered the company, and their beasts.'

“Fa abaa no na wo ne wo nua Aaron mfrɛ nnipa no nyinaa. Wɔrehwɛ mo no, kasa kyerɛ ɔbotan no na nsu befi mu aba. Mubenya wɔn nsu a ɛbɛso wɔn ne wɔn anantwi afi ɔbotan no mu!”

9 And Moses taketh the rod from before Jehovah, as He hath commanded him,

Mose yɛɛ nea Awurade hyɛe no. Ɔfaa abaa no fii baabi a wɔde asie wɔ Awurade anim.

10 and Moses and Aaron assemble the assembly unto the front of the rock, and he saith to them, 'Hear, I pray you, O rebels, from this rock do we bring out to you water?'

Mose ne Aaron frɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa ma wobehyiaa wɔ ɔbotan no anim na Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Atuatewfo, muntie! Yɛmma nsu mfi saa ɔbotan yi mu mmra ana?”

11 and Moses lifteth up his hand, and smiteth the rock with his rod twice; and much water cometh out, and the company drink, also their beasts.

Afei Mose maa ne nsa so de abaa no bɔɔ ɔbotan no mprenu maa nsu bebree fii mu ba maa nnipa no ne wɔn anantwi nomee.

12 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, and unto Aaron, 'Because ye have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore ye do not bring in this assembly unto the land which I have given to them.'

Nanso Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se, “Esiane sɛ moannya me mu ahotoso anhyɛ me anuonyam sɛ ɔkronkronni wɔ Israelfo no ani so nti, moremfa wɔn nkɔ asase a mede rema wɔn no so.”

13 These [are] waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel have 'striven' with Jehovah, and He is sanctified upon them.

Wɔfrɛɛ beae hɔ Meriba a ase ne: Atuatew Nsu, efisɛ ɛhɔ ne baabi a Israelfo tew Awurade atua, na ɛhɔ ara nso na Awurade daa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkronkron.

14 And Moses sendeth messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, 'Thus said thy brother Israel, Thou — thou hast known all the travail which hath found us;

Mose somaa abɔfo fii Kades kɔɔ Edomhene nkyɛn sɛ wɔnkɔka nkyerɛ no se: “Sɛɛ na wo nua Israelfo reka: Wunim abɛbrɛsɛ a yɛafa mu no nyinaa.

15 that our fathers go down to Egypt, and we dwell in Egypt many days, and the Egyptians do evil to us and to our fathers;

Yɛn agyanom kɔtenaa Misraim, yɛtenaa hɔ mfe bebree. Misraimfo no yɛɛ yɛne yɛn agyanom ayayade,

16 and we cry unto Jehovah, and He heareth our voice, and sendeth a messenger, and is bringing us out of Egypt; and lo, we [are] in Kadesh, a city [in] the extremity of thy border.

nanso yesu frɛɛ Awurade no, otiee yɛn na ɔsomaa ɔbɔfo ma obeyii yɛn fii Misraim. “Mprempren yɛwɔ Kades wɔ mo asase hye so.

17 Let us pass over, we pray thee, through thy land; we pass not over through a field, or through a vineyard, nor do we drink waters of a well; the way of the king we go, we turn not aside — right or left — till that we pass over thy border.'

Yɛsrɛ mo sɛ, ma yentwa mu mfa wo man yi mu. Yɛbɛhwɛ yiye sɛ yɛremfa mo mfuw ne mo bobe nturo mu. Na mpo, yɛrennom mo abura mu nsu. Yɛbɛfa Ɔhene Tempɔn so na yɛremfi so kosi sɛ yɛbɛtra wo hye no.”

18 And Edom saith unto him, 'Thou dost not pass over through me, lest with sword I come out to meet thee.'

Nanso Edomhene buae se, “Mommfa mʼasase so, anyɛ saa a mede asraafo ne afoa betua mo ano!”

19 And the sons of Israel say unto him, 'In the highway we go, and if of thy waters we drink — I and my cattle — then I have given their price; only (it is nothing) on my feet I pass over.'

Israelfo no buae se, “Owura, yɛbɛfa ɔtempɔn no so. Sɛ yɛn nyɛmmoa nom mo nsu a, yebetua ka. Yɛpɛ sɛ yetwa mu wɔ mo asase so na yenni adwemmɔne bi.”

20 And he saith, 'Thou dost not pass over;' and Edom cometh out to meet him with much people, and with a strong hand;

Nanso Edomhene buae se, “Mommfa yɛn asase so!” Ɔboaboaa nʼakofo ano de wɔn kɔɔ ɔhye no so.

21 and Edom refuseth to suffer Israel to pass over through his border, and Israel turneth aside from off him.

Esiane sɛ Edom amma wɔn kwan amma Israelfo no amfa wɔn man mu no nti, wɔman faa nkyɛn.

22 And the sons of Israel, the whole company, journey from Kadesh, and come in unto mount Hor,

Israelfo no nyinaa fii Kades kɔɔ Bepɔw Hor so.

23 and Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron in mount Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, saying,

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron wɔ Bepɔw Hor a ɛwɔ Edom hye so no se,

24 'Aaron is gathered unto his people, for he doth not go in unto the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because that ye provoked My mouth at the waters of Meribah.

“Bere adu sɛ Aaron wu, na ɔrenkɔ asase a mede ama Israelfo no so bi, efisɛ mo baanu no tew mʼahyɛde ho atua wɔ Meriba nsu no ho.

25 'Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and cause them to go up mount Hor,

Fa Aaron ne ne babarima Eleasar kɔ Bepɔw Hor so.

26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and thou hast clothed [with] them Eleazar his son, and Aaron is gathered, and doth die there.'

Ɛhɔ na wubeyi Aaron asɔfotade no de ahyɛ ne babarima Eleasar. Ɛhɔ na Aaron bewu na watoa nʼagyanom.”

27 And Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded, and they go up unto mount Hor before the eyes of all the company,

Mose yɛɛ nea Awurade hyɛɛ no no. Wɔn baasa nyinaa kɔɔ bepɔw Hor so a nnipa no nyinaa hwɛ wɔn.

28 and Moses strippeth Aaron of his garments, and clotheth with them Eleazar his son, and Aaron dieth there on the top of the mount; and Moses cometh down — Eleazar also — from the mount,

Mose yii Aaron asɔfotade no de hyɛɛ ne babarima Eleasar, na Aaron wuu wɔ bepɔw no apampam. Na Mose ne Eleasar san fii bepɔw no so bae,

29 and all the company see that Aaron hath expired, and they bewail Aaron thirty days — all the house of Israel.

na nnipa no tee Aaron wu no, Israelfo no suu no adaduasa.
