Amanani 20
1 Ngenyanga yakuqala abantu bonke bako-Israyeli bafika enkangala yaseZini, basebehlala eKhadeshi. UMiriyemu wafela lapho njalo wangcwatshelwa khona.
Israelfo no nyinaa duu Sin sare so ɔsram a edi kan no mu, na wɔtenaa Kades. Ɛhɔ na Miriam wu maa wosiee no.
2 Abantu baswela amanzi, ngakho babambana ekuphikiseni uMosi lo-Aroni.
Na nsu a wɔbɛnom nni hɔ nti, nnipa no sɔre tiaa Mose ne Aaron.
3 Baxabana loMosi kanye lo-Aroni bathi, “Ngabe lathi sahle sazifela mhla abafowethu besifa phambi kukaThixo!
Nnipa no ne Mose hamee se, “Sɛ yɛne yɛn nuanom wuwuu wɔ Awurade anim a anka yɛpɛ.
4 Labalethelani abantu bakaThixo kule inkangala na? Ukuze thina kanye lezifuyo zethu sizefela lapha na?
Adɛn nti na mode Awurade man ne yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi aba sare yi so sɛ yemmewuwu?
5 Lasikhuphelani eGibhithe lisiletha endaweni le embi kangaka na? Ayilamabele kumbe imikhiwa, amavini loba amaphomegranathi. Njalo akulamanzi okunatha!”
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 UMosi lo-Aroni basuka embuthanweni wabantu baya esangweni lethente lokuhlangana bawa phansi ngobuso, inkazimulo kaThixo yasibonakala kubo.
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 UThixo wathi kuMosi,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
8 “Thatha intonga kuthi wena lomfowenu u-Aroni libizele abantu ndawonye. Khulumani elitsheni phambi kwabo ngakho lona lizakhupha amanzi alo. Lizathatha amanzi aphuma edwaleni liphe abantu ukuze banathe bona kanye lezifuyo zabo.”
“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 Ngakho uMosi wathatha intonga phambi kukaThixo, njengokulaywa kwakhe nguThixo.
Mose yɛɛ nea Awurade hyɛe no. Ɔfaa abaa no fii baabi a wɔde asie wɔ Awurade anim.
10 UMosi lo-Aroni basebebizela abantu ndawonye phambi kwedwala, uMosi wasesithi kubo, “Lalelani, lina bahlamuki. Silikhuphele amanzi kulelidwala na?”
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 Ngakho uMosi waphakamisa ingalo yakhe watshaya idwala kabili ngentonga yakhe. Amanzi antshantshaza ephuma edwaleni, Kwathi abantu kanye lezifuyo zabo banatha.
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 Kodwa uThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni, “Ngenxa yokuthi kalingethembanga okokungipha udumo njengongcwele phambi kwabako-Israyeli, kaliyikukhokhelela lababantu ekungeneni elizweni engibapha lona.”
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 La ngamanzi aseMeribha, lapho abako-Israyeli abaphikisana khona loThixo njalo kulapho uThixo abonakalisa ubungcwele bakhe phakathi kwabo.
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 UMosi wathumela izithunywa enkosini yase-Edomi zisuka eKhadeshi, esithi: “Nanku okutshiwo ngumfowenu u-Israyeli: Uyabazi bonke ubunzima obusehleleyo.
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 Okhokho bethu basuka baya eGibhithe, sahlala khona okweminyaka eminengi. AmaGibhithe asiphatha ngochuku kanye labobaba,
Yɛn agyanom kɔtenaa Misraim, yɛtenaa hɔ mfe bebree. Misraimfo no yɛɛ yɛne yɛn agyanom ayayade,
16 kodwa sakhala kuThixo wezwa ukukhala kwethu wasithumela ingilosi yasikhipha eGibhithe. Khathesi silapha eKhadeshi idolobho elisemngceleni welizwe lakho.
nanso yesu frɛɛ Awurade no, otiee yɛn na ɔsomaa ɔbɔfo ma obeyii yɛn fii Misraim. “Mprempren yɛwɔ Kades wɔ mo asase hye so.
17 Ake usivumele sidlule elizweni lakho. Kasiyikudabula phakathi lakuwaphi amasimu loba isivini sakho, kumbe ukunatha amanzi loba kuwuphi umthombo. Sizahamba silandela umgwaqo wenkosi njalo kasiyikuphambukela kwesokudla kumbe kwesokunxele size sedlule elizweni lakho.”
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 Kodwa u-Edomi waphendula wathi: “Ngeke lidlule lapha, lingake lilinge, sizaphuma silihlasele ngenkemba.”
Nanso Edomhene buae se, “Mommfa mʼasase so, anyɛ saa a mede asraafo ne afoa betua mo ano!”
19 Abako-Israyeli baphendula bathi: “Sizahamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu, njalo thina loba izifuyo zethu singanatha amanzi enu, sizawabhadala. Sifuna ukuzedlulela ngenyawo kuphela nje.”
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 Abase-Edomi baphendula njalo bathi: “Lingadluli lapha.” Ngakho u-Edomi waphuma kanye lebutho elikhulu elilamandla ukuyahlasela abako-Israyeli.
Nanso Edomhene buae se, “Mommfa yɛn asase so!” Ɔboaboaa nʼakofo ano de wɔn kɔɔ ɔhye no so.
21 Njengoba u-Edomi wala ukuthi badabule elizweni labo, abako-Israyeli baphenduka bahamba ngenye indlela.
Esiane sɛ Edom amma wɔn kwan amma Israelfo no amfa wɔn man mu no nti, wɔman faa nkyɛn.
22 Isizwe sonke sako-Israyeli sasuka eKhadeshi sahamba saze sayafika entabeni yaseHori.
Israelfo no nyinaa fii Kades kɔɔ Bepɔw Hor so.
23 Sebesentabeni yaseHori, eduze lomngcele wase-Edomi, uThixo wathi kuMosi lo-Aroni,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron wɔ Bepɔw Hor a ɛwɔ Edom hye so no se,
24 “U-Aroni usezakufa angcwatshwe. Akayikungena elizweni engilinika abako-Israyeli, ngoba lina lobabili langihlamukela emanzini aseMeribha.
“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 Biza u-Aroni kanye lendodana yakhe u-Eliyazari ukhwele labo entabeni yaseHori.
Fa Aaron ne ne babarima Eleasar kɔ Bepɔw Hor so.
26 Uhlubule u-Aroni izembatho zakhe uzigqokise indodana yakhe u-Eliyazari, ngoba u-Aroni uzalandela abakibo; uzafela khona.”
Ɛhɔ na wubeyi Aaron asɔfotade no de ahyɛ ne babarima Eleasar. Ɛhɔ na Aaron bewu na watoa nʼagyanom.”
27 UMosi wenza njengokulaywa kwakhe kuThixo: Bakhwela entabeni yaseHori isizwe sonke sibakhangele.
Mose yɛɛ nea Awurade hyɛɛ no no. Wɔn baasa nyinaa kɔɔ bepɔw Hor so a nnipa no nyinaa hwɛ wɔn.
28 UMosi wamhlubula u-Aroni izembatho zakhe wazigqokisa indodana yakhe u-Eliyazari. Ngakho u-Aroni wafela khonapho phezu kwentaba. Ngemva kwalokhu uMosi lo-Eliyazari behla entabeni,
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 Kwathi abantu bonke sebezwile ukuthi u-Aroni wayesefile, yonke indlu ka-Israyeli yamlilela okwensuku ezingamatshumi amathathu.
na nnipa no tee Aaron wu no, Israelfo no suu no adaduasa.
