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.

Then Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took each man his censer and placed therein fire, and put thereon incense, —and brought near before Yahweh strange fire, which he had not commanded them.

2 Enti ogya dɛw fii Awurade nkyɛn bɛhyew wɔn.

Then came there forth fire from before Yahweh, and consumed them, —and they died before Yahweh.

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 said Moses unto Aaron—The very thing, that Yahweh spake, saying—In them that draw near to me, must I be hallowed, And before the faces of all the people, must I get myself honour, —And Aaron, was dumb.

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.”

Then called Moses unto Mishael, and unto Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, uncle of Aaron, —and said unto them—Draw near bear away your brethren from before the sanctuary, unto the outside of the camp.

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

So they drew near and bare them away, in their tunics, unto the outside of the camp, —as spake Moses.

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.

Then said Moses unto Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons—Your heads, ye may not bare and your garments, ye shall not rend so shall ye not die, neither against all the assembly, will he be wroth, —but let, your brethren the whole house of Israel, bewail the consuming fire wherewith Yahweh hath consumed.

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.

But, from the entrance of the tent of meeting, shall ye not go forth, lest ye die, for, the anointing oil of Yahweh is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

8 Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Aaron se,

Then spake Yahweh 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,

Wine and strong drink, thou mayest not drink, —thou nor thy sons with thee when ye enter into the tent of meeting, so shall ye not die, —an age-abiding statute to your generations;

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

That ye may make a difference, between the sacred and the common, —and between the unclean and the clean;

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

And may teach the sons of Israel, —all the statutes which Yahweh hath spoken unto them, by the mediation 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.

Then spake Moses unto Aaron and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar his sons that were left, Take ye the meal-offering that is left of the altar-flames of Yahweh, and eat it unleavened beside the altar, —for, most holy, it is;

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.

therefore shall ye eat it in a holy place, for, thine by statute, and thy sons’ by statute, it is, from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, —for, so, am I 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 the heave-shoulder, shall ye eat in clean place, thou, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, —for as thine by statute and thy sons’ by statute, have they been given, from among the peace-offerings of the sons 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 upon the altar-flames of the fat portions, shall they bring in, to wave as a wave-offering, before Yahweh, —so shall they be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by an age-abiding statute, As Yahweh 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,

Now, as for the sin-bearing goat, Moses diligently sought it but lo! it had been burnt up, —then was he wroth against Eleazar and against Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, 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 did ye not eat the sin-bearer in the holy place? for most, holy, it is, —and thee same, hath he given you that ye may bear the iniquity of the assembly, to put a propitiatory-covering over them before Yahweh.

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

Lo! the blood thereof had not been taken into the holy place, within, —ye should have, indeed eaten, it, in a 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?”

Then spake Aaron unto Moses—Lo! this very day, when they had brought near their own sin-bearer, and their own ascending-sacrifice, there befell me such things as these, —if, then, I had eaten of the sin-bearer this day, would it have been well-pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh?

20 Na Mose tee saa no, ne bo dwoe.

And, when Moses heard that, then was it well-pleasing in his eyes.
