4 Mose 16
1 Kora, Ishar a ɔyɛ Lewi babarima Kohat aseni ne Datan ne Abiram a wɔyɛ Eliab mmabarima ne On a ɔyɛ Pelet babarima a wɔn baasa no fi Ruben abusuakuw mu no yɛɛ ahomaso
Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, took Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, son of Reuben,
2 na wɔsɔre tiaa Mose. Na mpanyimfo atitiriw ahannu aduonum a wɔn nyinaa fra agyinatukuw no mu no ka ho.
and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred fifty leaders of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;
3 Wɔkɔɔ Mose ne Aaron hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo ahomaso no amee yɛn; monnyɛ kronkron nsen obiara. Awurade na wayi obiara a ɔwɔ Israel ha na ɔka yɛn nyinaa ho. Tumi bɛn na mowɔ sɛ moma mo ho so sɛ moyɛ mpanyimfo a ɛsɛ sɛ yetie mo na afei moma mo ho so sen obiara wɔ bere a yɛn nyinaa yɛ Awurade mma?”
and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, "You take too much on yourself, since all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and the LORD is among them: why then lift yourselves up above the assembly of the LORD?"
4 Mose tee saa asɛm no, ɔde nʼanim butuw fam.
When Moses heard it, he fell on his face:
5 Ɔka kyerɛɛ Kora ne wɔn a wɔka ne ho no se, “Anɔpa, Awurade bɛkyerɛ mo wɔn a wɔyɛ ne dea ne nea ɔyɛ kronkron ne nea wayi no sɛ ɔmmɛn no.
and he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, "In the morning the LORD will show who are his, and who is holy, and will bring him near to him. The one whom he has chosen he will bring near to him.
6 Nea ɛsɛ sɛ wo, Kora ne wʼakyidifo nyinaa yɛ ni: Momfa aduhuamyɛfo nkuku
Do this: take censers, Korah, and all his company;
7 na ɔkyena monhyew aduhuam wɔ mu wɔ Awurade anim. Na nea Awurade bɛpaw no no na ɔbɛyɛ ɔkronkronni. Afei de, Lewifo moayɛ ama aboro so!”
and put fire in them, and put incense on them before the LORD tomorrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD chooses, he shall be holy. You have gone too far, you sons of Levi."
8 Mose san bisaa Kora se, “Afei mo Lewifo, muntie!
Moses said to Korah, "Hear now, you sons of Levi.
9 Yi a Israel Nyankopɔn ayi wo afi nnipa bebree mu ama woabɛn no pɛɛ no, a woyɛ Awurade Ahyiae Ntamadan mu adwuma, na wutumi gyina nnipa anim yɛ asɔfodwuma no sua ma wo ana?
Is it a small thing to you, that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister to them;
10 Ɔde wo ne wo mfɛfo Lewifo nyinaa abɛn no pɛɛ, nanso afei de, woagyina pintinn sɛ woregye asɔfodwuma no nso.
and that he has brought you near, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? and do you seek the priesthood also?
11 Ɛyɛ Awurade na wo ne wʼakyidifo abɔ mu atia no no. Hena ne Aaron a wunwiinwii tia no?”
Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against God. And Aaron, what is he that you murmur against him?"
12 Afei Mose frɛɛ Eliab mmabarima Datan ne Abiram, nanso wobuae se, “Yɛremma!
Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and they said, "We won't come up:
13 So esua ma wo sɛ wode yɛn fi yɛn asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so no so de yɛn aba sare so sɛ worebekum yɛn ana? Na afei, wopɛ sɛ wohyɛ yɛn so nso!
is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, but you must also make yourself a prince over us?
14 Bio, womfaa yɛn mmaa asase a ɛwo ne nufusu sen wɔ so so anaa nso wommaa yɛn asase ne bobeturo biara sɛ yɛn agyapade. Wopɛ sɛ wode saa nnipa yi yɛ nkoa ana? Dabi, yɛremma.”
Moreover you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: will you put out the eyes of these men? We won't come up."
15 Mose bo fuw na ɔka kyerɛɛ Awurade se, “Nnye wɔn afɔrebɔde biara! Minwiaa wɔn afurum baako mpo na menyɛɛ wɔn mu biara bɔne bi.”
Moses was very angry, and said to the LORD, "Do not respect their offering: I have not taken one donkey from them, neither have I hurt one of them."
16 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Kora se, “Ɔkyena wo ne wʼakyidifo no nyinaa mmra Awurade anim wɔ ha; wo ne wɔn ne Aaron.
Moses said to Korah, "You and all your company go before the LORD, you, and they, and Aaron, tomorrow:
17 Obiara mfa nʼaduhuamyɛfo nkuku a aduhuam gu so mmra. Obiara mfa aduhuamyɛfo kuku mmra. Ne nyinaa dodow yɛ ahannu aduonum; na momfa mmra Awurade anim. Mo ne Aaron na ɛsɛ sɛ mode ba.”
and each man take his censer, and put incense on them, and each man bring before the LORD his censer, two hundred fifty censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer."
18 Enti wɔn mu biara de nʼaduhuamyɛfo kuku a wasɔ aduhuam wɔ mu bae na wɔne Mose ne Aaron begyinagyinaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.
They each took his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.
19 Bere a Kora aboa nʼakyidifo a wɔasɔre atia wɔn no nyinaa ano wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano no, Awurade daa nʼanuonyam adi kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa.
Korah assembled all the congregation against them to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the glory of the LORD appeared to all the congregation.
20 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
21 “Montwe mo ho mfi saa nnipa yi ho na manya kwan asɛe wɔn prɛko.”
"Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment."
22 Nanso Mose ne Aaron de wɔn anim butubutuw fam wɔ Awurade anim. Wɔsrɛe se, “Ao, Onyankopɔn, amansan nyinaa Nyankopɔn, sɛ onipa baako yɛ bɔne a, na ɛsɛ sɛ wo bo fu nnipa no nyinaa?”
They fell on their faces, and said, "God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?"
23 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “Ka kyerɛ nnipa no se, ‘Mumfi Kora, Datan ne Abiram ntamadan no mu.’”
"Speak to the congregation, saying, 'Get away from around the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.'"
25 Enti Mose kɔɔ Datan ne Abiram ntamadan no mu a na Israel mpanyimfo di nʼakyi. Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se,
Moses rose up and went to Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
26 Ɔka kyerɛɛ nnipa no se, “Monsan mfi saa nnipabɔnefo yi ntamadan no mu! Mommfa mo nsa nka wɔn biribiara, anyɛ saa a wɔbɛsɛe mo ne wɔn nyinaa, esiane wɔn bɔne nti.”
He spoke to the congregation, saying, "Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be consumed in all their sins."
27 Enti nnipa no fii Kora, Datan ne Abiram ntamadan no mu. Na Datan ne Abiram nso ne wɔn yerenom ne wɔn mma begyinagyinaa wɔn ntamadan no akwan ano.
So they went away from the tent of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood at the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little ones.
28 Mose kae se, “Ɛnam eyi so bɛma moahu sɛ, Awurade na ɔsomaa me sɛ menyɛ nea mayɛ yi nyinaa. Ɛnyɛ me ara mʼadwene mu na mifi yɛɛ saa.
Moses said, "Hereby you shall know that the LORD has sent me to do all these works; for they are not from my own mind.
29 Sɛ owu nko ara na ɛbɛto saa nnipa yi, anaa sɛ wohu nea ɛtaa ba nnipa so nko ara a, na ɛnyɛ Awurade na wasoma me.
If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hasn't sent me.
30 Na sɛ Awurade ma ade a ɛyɛ foforo koraa ba, na asase bue nʼanom mene wɔn ne wɔn ahode na sɛ wɔkɔ asaman anikann a, ɛbɛma moahu sɛ, saa nnipa yi abu Awurade animtiaa.” (Sheol h7585)
But if the LORD make a new thing, and the ground open its mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain to them, and they go down alive into Sheol; then you shall understand that these men have despised the LORD." (Sheol h7585)
31 Ka a ɔkaa eyinom wiei ara pɛ, na asase a ɛwɔ wɔn ase no mu paee,
It happened, as he made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground split apart that was under them;
32 na ɛbaee nʼanom menee wɔn ne wɔn abusuafo, wɔn nnamfonom a na wogyinagyina wɔn ho ne wɔn agyapade nyinaa.
and the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and all the men who appertained to Korah, and all their goods.
33 Wowuraa asase mu anikann kɔɔ asaman na asase no san ka too mu ma wɔyera fii ɔman no mu. (Sheol h7585)
So they, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into Sheol: and the earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly. (Sheol h7585)
34 Israelfo nyinaa guanee a na wɔreteɛteɛ mu se, “Asase rebɛmene yɛn nso!”
All Israel that were around them fled at their cry; for they said, "Lest the earth swallow us up."
35 Na ogya fi Awurade nkyɛn bɛhyew nnipa ahannu aduonum a na wɔrehyew aduhuam no nyinaa.
Fire came forth from the LORD, and devoured the two hundred fifty men who offered the incense.
36 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
37 “Ka kyerɛ ɔsɔfo Aaron babarima Eleasar sɛ onyi aduhuamyɛfo nkuku no mfi nso no mu, efisɛ ɛyɛ kronkron, na ɔntrɛtrɛw nnyansramma no mu nkɔ akyiri
"Speak to Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter the fire yonder; for they are holy,
38 mfi saa nnipa a wɔayɛ bɔne awu no aduhuamyɛfo nkuku no ase. Boro aduhuamhyew nkuku no mma ɛnyɛ ntrantraa na momfa nkata afɔremuka no so. Saa aduhuamyɛfo nkuku yi yɛ kronkron, efisɛ wɔde baa Awurade anim. Ma ɛnyɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne mma Israelfo no.”
even the censers of these sinners against their own lives; and let them be made beaten plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD; therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the children of Israel."
39 Enti ɔsɔfo Eleasar faa wɔn a wɔahyew no aduhuamyɛfo nkuku no na ɔboro maa ɛyɛɛ ntrantraa na ɔde kataa afɔremuka no so,
Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burnt had offered; and they beat them out for a covering of the altar,
40 sɛnea Awurade nam Mose so kyerɛɛ no no. Na Israelfo no nam so akae se obiara a omfi Aaron ase no nni ho kwan sɛ ɔba Awurade anim bɛhyew aduhuam. Sɛ ɔyɛ saa a, asɛm a ɛtoo Kora ne ne ne dɔm no bi bɛto no.
to be a memorial to the children of Israel, to the end that no stranger, who isn't of the descendants of Aaron, comes near to burn incense before the LORD; that he not be as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD spoke to him by Moses.
41 Ade kyee anɔpa no, Israelfo no nyinaa nwiinwii tiaa Mose ne Aaron se, “Moakum Awurade nkurɔfo.”
But on the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, "You have killed the LORD's people."
42 Nanso bere a nnipa no nyinaa boaa wɔn ho ano sɛ wɔretia Mose ne Aaron na wotwaa wɔn ani hwɛɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no, prɛko pɛ, omununkum no kataa so ma wohuu Awurade anuonyam.
It happened, when the congregation was assembled against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the Tent of Meeting: and look, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
43 Mose ne Aaron begyinaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano,
Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of Meeting.
44 na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
45 “Twe wo ho fi saa nnipa yi mu na matumi asɛe wɔn prɛko pɛ.” Na Mose ne Aaron de wɔn anim butubutuu fam.
"Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment." They fell on their faces.
46 Na Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se, “Fa aduhuamyɛfo kuku no na yi ogya fi afɔremuka no so gu mu. Fa aduhuam gu so na fa nnipa no mu ntɛm so fa kɔyɛ mpata ma wɔn, efisɛ Awurade abufuw adu wɔn so. Ɔyaredɔm no afi ase.”
Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer, and put fire from off the altar in it, and lay incense on it, and carry it quickly to the congregation, and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the LORD. The plague has begun."
47 Aaron yɛɛ nea Mose hyɛɛ no no, na otuu mmirika kɔɔ nnipa no mu. Na ɔyaredɔm no aba ampa, na ɔhyew aduhuam no de yɛɛ mpata maa wɔn.
Aaron did as Moses said, and ran into the midst of the assembly; and look, the plague has begun among the people: and he put on the incense, and made atonement for the people.
48 Na ogyinaa ateasefo ne awufo ntam, na ɔyaredɔm no gyaee.
He stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
49 Nanso na nnipa mpem dunan ne ahanson awuwu dedaw abɛka wɔn a wɔne Kora wuwui da a edi anim no ho.
Now those who died by the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died about the matter of Korah.
50 Ɔyaredɔm no gyaee no, Aaron san kɔɔ Mose nkyɛn wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.
Aaron returned to Moses to the door of the Tent of Meeting: and the plague was stayed.
