3 Mose 10

1 Na Aaron mma Nadab ne Abihu de ogya guu wɔn aduhwamhyeɛ adeɛ mu. Wɔde aduhwam no petee ogya no so ma wɔnam saa ɛkwan yi so buu Awurade mmara so, ɛfiri sɛ wɔde ogya a ɛnyɛ deɛ Awurade ahyɛ baa nʼanim.

Now Aaron’s sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense, and offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to His command.

2 Enti ogya dɛreɛ firi Awurade nkyɛn bɛhyee wɔn.

So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died in the presence of the LORD.

3 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ, “Awurade kaa sɛ, “‘Mede me ho kronkron bɛkyerɛ wɔn a wɔbɛn me na nnipa nyinaa ahyɛ me animuonyam no, aseɛ ne no.’” Na asɛm no tɔree Aaron mumu.

Then Moses said to Aaron, “This is what the LORD meant when He said: ‘To those who come near Me I will show My holiness, and in the sight of all the people I will reveal My glory.’” But Aaron remained silent.

4 Afei, Mose soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Misael ne Elsafan a wɔyɛ Aaron agya nuabarima mma brɛɛ no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Monkɔtwe nnipa a wɔahye no nyinaa mfiri Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anim mfa wɔn nkɔ sraban no akyi.”

Moses summoned Mishael and Elzaphan, sons of Aaron’s uncle Uzziel, and said to them, “Come here; carry the bodies of your cousins outside the camp, away from the front of the sanctuary.”

5 Na wɔkɔsoaa wɔn wɔ wɔn ntadeɛ mu sɛdeɛ Mose aka akyerɛ wɔn no.

So they came forward and carried them, still in their tunics, outside the camp, as Moses had directed.

6 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima Eleasa ne Itamar sɛ, “Monnsu. Mommma mo tirinwi nsensɛn hɔ yuu mmfa nkyerɛ sɛ moretwa agyaadwoɔ. Monnsunsuane mo ntadeɛ mu nso. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, Onyankopɔn bɛkum mo nso na nʼabufuo bɛba Israelfoɔ nyinaa so. Nanso Israelfoɔ a wɔaka no deɛ, ɛsiane ogya a Awurade de baeɛ no enti, wɔtumi di Nadab ne Abihu wuo no ho awerɛhoɔ tumi su wɔn nso.

Then Moses said to Aaron and his sons Eleazar and Ithamar, “Do not let your hair become disheveled and do not tear your garments, or else you will die, and the LORD will be angry with the whole congregation. But your brothers, the whole house of Israel, may mourn on account of the fire that the LORD has ignited.

7 Na mommfiri Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano, anyɛ saa a mobɛwuwu, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ngosra wɔ mo so.” Na wɔdii asɛm a Mose kaeɛ no so.

You shall not go outside the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, or you will die, for the LORD’s anointing oil is on you.” So they did as Moses instructed.

8 Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Aaron sɛ,

Then the LORD said to Aaron,

9 “Sɛ wokɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu a, nnom bobesa anaa nsã a ano yɛ den. Woyɛ saa a, wobɛwu. Saa mmara yi ka wo mmammarima ne wʼasefoɔ nyinaa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so.

“You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink when you enter the Tent of Meeting, or else you will die; this is a permanent statute for the generations to come.

10 Wo nnwuma ne sɛ, wobɛdi wo nkurɔfoɔ ntam nsɛm akyerɛ wɔn nsonsonoeɛ a ɛda deɛ ɛho te ne deɛ ɛyɛ teta ntam ne deɛ ɛyɛ kronkron ne deɛ ɛnyɛ kronkron ntam,

You must distinguish between the holy and the common, between the clean and the unclean,

11 na kyerɛ wɔn mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama no nyinaa.”

so that you may teach the Israelites all the statutes that the LORD has given them through Moses.”

12 Afei, Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima Eleasa ne Itamar sɛ, “Sɛ mohye Awurade afɔrebɔdeɛ no nsabuo ma Awurade a, monni deɛ ɛbɛka no wɔ afɔrebukyia no ho. Monhwɛ sɛ mmɔka nni mu ɛfiri sɛ ɛyɛ kronkron.

And Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering that remains from the offerings made by fire to the LORD and eat it without leaven beside the altar, because it is most holy.

13 Enti monni no kronkronbea hɔ. Ɛyɛ wo ne wo mmammarima dea, na ɛyɛ wo ne wo mmammarima no kyɛfa a ɛfiri afɔdeɛ a wɔde ogya bɔ maa Awurade no mu. Yei na wɔahyɛ sɛ menyɛ.

You shall eat it in a holy place, because it is your share and your sons’ share of the offerings made by fire to the LORD; for this is what I have been commanded.

14 Nanso, ne yan ne ne srɛ a mohim no Awurade anim no, motumi we no beaeɛ biara a amanneɛ kwan so no ɛhɔ teɛ. Ɛyɛ wo, wo mmammarima ne wo mmammaa kyɛfa wɔ Israelfoɔ Asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no mu.

And you and your sons and daughters may eat the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution in a ceremonially clean place, because these portions have been assigned to you and your children from the peace offerings of the sons of Israel.

15 Ne srɛ ne ne yan a wohim no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ka sradeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔhye de ma Awurade no ho. Afei ɛbɛyɛ wo ne wʼasefoɔ dea daa sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no.”

They are to bring the thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering, together with the fat portions of the offerings made by fire, to wave as a wave offering before the LORD. It will belong permanently to you and your children, as the LORD has commanded.”

16 Ɛberɛ a Mose bisaa deɛ ayɛ abirekyie a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ no ho asɛm no, ɔhunuu sɛ wɔahye no. Ɛno enti, ne bo fuu Eleasa ne Itamar a na wɔyɛ Aaron mmammarima no.

Later, Moses searched carefully for the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. He was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s remaining sons, and asked,

17 “Ɔbisaa wɔn sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na moanwe bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ no wɔ kronkronbea hɔ? Ɛyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ kronkron! Wɔde maa mo sɛ momfa nyi nnipa no afɔdie na ɛnyɛ mpatadeɛ mma wɔn wɔ Awurade anim.

“Why didn’t you eat the sin offering in the holy place? For it is most holy; it was given to you to take away the guilt of the congregation by making atonement for them before the LORD.

18 Esiane sɛ wɔamfa ne mogya ankɔ kronkronbea hɔ no enti, anka mobɛtumi awe no hɔ ara sɛdeɛ mehyɛeɛ no.’”

Since its blood was not brought inside the holy place, you should have eaten it in the sanctuary area, as I commanded.”

19 Aaron srɛɛ Mose maa ne mma no sɛ, “Ɛnnɛ me mma no bɔɔ wɔn bɔne afɔdeɛ ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ maa Awurade. Nanso hwɛ asɛm yi a ato me. Sɛ mewee bɔne afɔdeɛ ɛnam yi bi ɛnnɛ a, anka Awurade ani bɛsɔ anaa?”

But Aaron replied to Moses, “Behold, this very day they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the sight of the LORD?”

20 Na Mose tee saa no, ɔgye too mu.

And when Moses heard this explanation, he was satisfied.
