3 Mose 10

1 Na Aaron mma Nadab ne Abihu de ogya guu wɔn aduhuamyɛfo ade mu. Wɔde aduhuam no petee ogya no so ma wɔnam saa kwan yi so buu Awurade mmara so, efisɛ wɔde ogya a ɛnyɛ nea Awurade ahyɛ baa nʼanim.

AND Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not.

2 Enti ogya dɛw fii Awurade nkyɛn bɛhyew wɔn.

And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.

3 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se, Awurade kae se, “‘Mɛda me ho kronkronyɛ adi akyerɛ wɔn a wɔba me nkyɛn; wɔbɛhyɛ me anuonyam wɔ nnipa nyinaa anim no, na nea ɔrekyerɛ nen.’” Na asɛm no tɔɔ Aaron mum.

Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

4 Mose soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Misael ne Elsafan a wɔyɛ Aaron agya nuabarima mma brɛɛ no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔtwe nnipa a wɔahyew no nyinaa mfi Ahyiae Ntamadan no anim mfa wɔn nkɔ nsraban no akyi.”

And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.

5 Na wɔkɔsoaa wɔn wɔ wɔn ntade mu sɛnea Mose aka akyerɛ wɔn no.

So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.

6 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima Eleasar ne Itamar se, “Munnsu. Mommma mo tinwi nsensɛn hɔ yuu mmfa nkyerɛ sɛ moretwa agyaadwo. Munnsunsuane mo ntade mu nso. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, Onyankopɔn bekum mo nso na nʼabufuw bɛba Israelfo nyinaa so. Nanso Israelfo a wɔaka no de, esiane ogya a Awurade de bae no nti, wotumi di Nadab ne Abihu wu no ho awerɛhow, tumi su wɔn nso.

And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the Lord hath kindled.

7 Na mummfi Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano, anyɛ saa a mubewuwu, efisɛ Awurade ngosra wɔ mo so.” Na wodii asɛm a Mose kae no so.

And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the Lord is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

8 Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Aaron se,

And the Lord spake unto Aaron, saying,

9 “Sɛ wokɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu a, nnom bobesa anaa nsa a ano yɛ den. Woyɛ saa a, wubewu. Saa mmara yi bɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ ama awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no nyinaa,

Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

10 na ama moatumi ahu nsonoe a ɛda kronkron ne nea ɛyɛ teta, nea ɛho tew ne nea ɛho ntew no tam,

And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;

11 na woatumi akyerɛkyerɛ Israelfo mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo no nyinaa.”

And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.

12 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima Eleasar ne Itamar se, “Momfa atoko afɔrebɔde nkae wɔ aduan afɔrebɔ a mmɔkaw nni mu a wɔde brɛɛ Awurade no na munni wɔ afɔremuka no ho, efisɛ ɛyɛ kronkron koraa.

And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:

13 Munni wɔ kronkronbea hɔ. Ɛyɛ wo ne wo mmabarima no dea, na ɛyɛ wo ne wo mmabarima no kyɛfa a efi aduan afɔrebɔ a wɔde brɛɛ Awurade no mu; efisɛ saa na wɔahyɛ sɛ menyɛ.

And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons’ due, of the sacrifices of the Lord made by fire: for so I am commanded.

14 Nanso ne yan ne ne srɛ a muhim no Awurade anim no, mutumi we no beae biara a amanne kwan so no ɛhɔ tew. Ɛyɛ wo, wo mmabarima ne wo mmabea kyɛfa wɔ Israelfo Asomdwoe afɔrebɔde no mu.

And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons’ due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.

15 Ne srɛ ne ne yan a wohim no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ka srade afɔrebɔde a wɔhyew de ma Awurade no ho. Eyi bɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefo kyɛfa daa, sɛnea Awurade ahyɛ no.”

The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by a statute for ever; as the Lord hath commanded.

16 Bere a Mose bisaa nea ayɛ abirekyi a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne afɔre no ho asɛm no, ohuu sɛ wɔahyew no. Ɛno nti, ne bo fuw Eleasar ne Itamar a na wɔyɛ Aaron mmabarima no, bisae se,

And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,

17 “Adɛn nti na moanwe bɔne afɔrebɔde no wɔ kronkronbea hɔ? Ɛyɛ afɔrebɔde kronkron! Wɔde maa mo sɛ momfa nyi nnipa no afɔdi na ɛnyɛ mpata mma wɔn wɔ Awurade anim.

Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?

18 Esiane sɛ wɔamfa ne mogya ankɔ kronkronbea hɔ no nti, anka mubetumi awe wɔ hɔ ara sɛnea mehyɛe no.”

Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.

19 Aaron buaa Mose se, “Nnɛ wɔbɔɔ wɔn bɔne afɔre ne ɔhyew afɔre maa Awurade. Nanso hwɛ asɛm yi a ato me. Sɛ mewee bɔne afɔre nam yi bi nnɛ a, anka Awurade ani bɛsɔ ana?”

And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the Lord?

20 Na Mose tee saa no, ne bo dwoe.

And when Moses heard that, he was content.
