4 Mose 20
1 Israelfo no nyinaa duu Sin sare so ɔsram a edi kan no mu, na wɔtenaa Kades. Ɛhɔ na Miriam wu maa wosiee no.
Khona abantwana bakoIsrayeli, inhlangano yonke, bafika enkangala yeZini ngenyanga yokuqala; labantu bahlala eKadeshi. UMiriyamu wasefela lapho, wangcwatshwa khona.
2 Na nsu a wɔbɛnom nni hɔ nti, nnipa no sɔre tiaa Mose ne Aaron.
Njalo kwakungelamanzi enhlangano; ngakho bahlangana bamelana loMozisi bamelana loAroni.
3 Nnipa no ne Mose hamee se, “Sɛ yɛne yɛn nuanom wuwuu wɔ Awurade anim a anka yɛpɛ.
Abantu baphikisana loMozisi bakhuluma besithi: Kungathi ngabe safa ekufeni kwabafowethu phambi kweNkosi!
4 Adɛn nti na mode Awurade man ne yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi aba sare yi so sɛ yemmewuwu?
Liletheleni ibandla leNkosi enkangala le ukuze sifele lapha, thina lezifuyo zethu?
5 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.”
Lasenyuselani sisuka eGibhithe ukusiletha kulindawo embi? Kakusiyo indawo yenhlanyelo lemikhiwa lamavini lamapomegranati, futhi kakulamanzi okunatha.
6 Mose ne Aaron fii dɔm no hɔ kɔɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano de wɔn anim butubutuw fam wɔ Awurade anim; na wohuu Awurade anuonyam.
UMozisi loAroni basebesuka phambi kwebandla, baya emnyango wethente lenhlangano, bathi mbo ngobuso babo phansi. Inkazimulo yeNkosi yasibonakala kubo.
7 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
8 “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!”
Thatha intonga, ubuthanise inhlangano, wena loAroni umnewenu, likhulume kulo idwala phambi kwamehlo abo, njalo lizanika amanzi alo; ngalokhu uzabakhuphela amanzi edwaleni, ukuze ulinathise ibandla lezifuyo zabo.
9 Mose yɛɛ nea Awurade hyɛe no. Ɔfaa abaa no fii baabi a wɔde asie wɔ Awurade anim.
UMozisi wasethatha intonga esuka phambi kweNkosi njengokumlaya kwayo.
10 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?”
UMozisi loAroni basebebuthanisa ibandla phambi kwedwala; wasesithi kubo: Zwanini-ke, lina bahlamuki; sizalikhuphela yini amanzi edwaleni leli?
11 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.
UMozisi wasephakamisa isandla sakhe, watshaya idwala kabili ngentonga yakhe; kwasekumpompoza amanzi amanengi, inhlangano yasinatha, lezifuyo zayo.
12 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.”
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi lakuAroni: Ngoba lingangikholwanga, ukungingcwelisa emehlweni abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngakho kaliyikungenisa ibandla leli elizweni engibanike lona.
13 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.
La ngamanzi eMeriba, lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli abaphikisana khona leNkosi, yasingcweliswa kubo.
14 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.
UMozisi wasethuma izithunywa enkosini yeEdoma zisuka eKadeshi wathi: Utsho njalo umfowenu uIsrayeli: Wena uyazazi zonke inkathazo ezisehleleyo,
15 Yɛn agyanom kɔtenaa Misraim, yɛtenaa hɔ mfe bebree. Misraimfo no yɛɛ yɛne yɛn agyanom ayayade,
lokuthi obaba behlela eGibhithe, sasesihlala eGibhithe insuku ezinengi; lamaGibhithe asiphatha kubi labobaba.
16 nanso yesu frɛɛ Awurade no, otiee yɛn na ɔsomaa ɔbɔfo ma obeyii yɛn fii Misraim. “Mprempren yɛwɔ Kades wɔ mo asase hye so.
Sasesikhala eNkosini, yasisizwa ilizwi lethu, yathuma ingilosi, yasikhupha eGibhithe; khangela-ke siseKadeshi, umuzi osekucineni komngcele wakho.
17 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.”
Ake usiyekele sidabule elizweni lakho. Kasiyikudabula ensimini loba esivinini, futhi kasiyikunatha amanzi omthombo. Sizahamba ngomgwaqo wenkosi, kasiyikuphambukela ngakwesokunene langakwesokhohlo, size sedlule umngcele wakho.
18 Nanso Edomhene buae se, “Mommfa mʼasase so, anyɛ saa a mede asraafo ne afoa betua mo ano!”
Kodwa uEdoma wathi kuye: Kawuyikudabula kimi, hlezi ngiphume ngenkemba ngimelane lawe.
19 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.”
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesithi kuye: Sizahamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu. Uba-ke mina lezifuyo zami sinatha okwamanzi akho, sizawabhadalela; kuphela ngizadabula ngenyawo zami nje.
20 Nanso Edomhene buae se, “Mommfa yɛn asase so!” Ɔboaboaa nʼakofo ano de wɔn kɔɔ ɔhye no so.
Kodwa wathi: Kawuyikudabula. UEdoma wasephuma wamelana laye elabantu abanengi, langesandla esilamandla.
21 Esiane sɛ Edom amma wɔn kwan amma Israelfo no amfa wɔn man mu no nti, wɔman faa nkyɛn.
Ngalokhu uEdoma wala ukuvumela uIsrayeli ukudabula emngceleni wakhe. Ngakho uIsrayeli waphambuka wasuka kuye.
22 Israelfo no nyinaa fii Kades kɔɔ Bepɔw Hor so.
Abantwana bakoIsrayeli, inhlangano yonke, basebesuka eKadeshi, bafika entabeni yeHori.
23 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron wɔ Bepɔw Hor a ɛwɔ Edom hye so no se,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni entabeni yeHori, emngceleni welizwe leEdoma, isithi:
24 “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.
UAroni uzabuthelwa ebantwini bakibo, ngoba kayikungena elizweni engilinike abantwana bakoIsrayeli, ngoba lahlamukela ilizwi lami emanzini eMeriba.
25 Fa Aaron ne ne babarima Eleasar kɔ Bepɔw Hor so.
Thatha uAroni loEleyazare indodana yakhe, ubenyusele entabeni yeHori,
26 Ɛhɔ na wubeyi Aaron asɔfotade no de ahyɛ ne babarima Eleasar. Ɛhɔ na Aaron bewu na watoa nʼagyanom.”
umhlubule uAroni izembatho zakhe, uzifake kuEleyazare indodana yakhe; ngoba uAroni uzabuthelwa kwabakibo, afele lapho.
27 Mose yɛɛ nea Awurade hyɛɛ no no. Wɔn baasa nyinaa kɔɔ bepɔw Hor so a nnipa no nyinaa hwɛ wɔn.
UMozisi wenza njengokulaya kweNkosi. Basebesenyukela entabeni yeHori phambi kwamehlo enhlangano yonke.
28 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,
UMozisi wasemhlubula uAroni izembatho zakhe, wazifaka kuEleyazare indodana yakhe. UAroni wasefela lapho engqongeni yentaba. UMozisi loEleyazare basebesehla entabeni.
29 na nnipa no tee Aaron wu no, Israelfo no suu no adaduasa.
Lapho inhlangano yonke ibona ukuthi uAroni usephelile, balilela uAroni insuku ezingamatshumi amathathu, indlu yonke kaIsrayeli.
