< 4 Mose 17 >
1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
UThixo wathi kuMosi,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, abusua biara ɔdaanoni no ntwa poma na ɔntwerɛ ne din wɔ ho.
“Tshela abako-Israyeli ukuthi bakuphe intonga ezilitshumi lambili, kuphume ibenye kumkhokheli munye ngamunye wesizwana sabokhokho bakhe. Bhala ibizo lendoda ngayinye entongeni yayo.
3 Aaron din na wɔbɛtwerɛ agu Lewi abusuakuo poma no ho.
Entongeni kaLevi uzabhala ibizo lika-Aroni, ngoba kumele kube lentonga eyodwa emele inhloko inye ngayinye yesizwana sabokhokho bayo.
4 Momfa mpoma yi ngu Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu ahyiaeɛm wɔ baabi a mehyia mo wɔ adaka no anim hɔ no.
Zifake ethenteni lokuhlangana phambi komtshokotsho wobufakazi, lapho engihlangana lawe khona.
5 Menam mpoma yi so bɛkyerɛ onipa a mɛyi no no, na ne poma no ho bɛfefɛ! Ɛno akyi, anwiinwii a wɔnwiinwii tia wo no nyinaa to bɛtwa.”
Intonga yendoda engizayikhetha izahluma, njalo mina ngizahle ngikuqede lokhu kukhonona okulokhu kuqhubeka kusolwa wena ngabako-Israyeli.”
6 Enti, Mose hyɛɛ saa mmara yi maa nnipa no maa ahemfo dumienu no a Aaron ka wɔn ho de wɔn mpoma brɛɛ no.
Ngakho uMosi wakhuluma kwabako-Israyeli, abakhokheli babo bamnika intonga ezilitshumi lambili, ngayinye ingeyomkhokheli wesizwana sabokhokho bakhe, kwathi leka-Aroni yayibalelwa kuzo.
7 Ɔde guu Awurade anim wɔ Adanseɛ Ntomadan no mu hɔ.
UMosi wabeka intonga lezo phambi kukaThixo ethenteni lobufakazi.
8 Adeɛ kyeeɛ a ɔkɔɔ mu no, ɔhunuu sɛ Aaron poma a ɛwɔ hɔ ma Lewi abusuakuo no afefɛ ayɛ frɔmm, aso aba a ɛsensɛn so.
Ngosuku olulandelayo uMosi wangena ethenteni lobufakazi wabona ukuthi intonga ka-Aroni eyayimele indlu kaLevi, yayisihlumile yaqhakaza, isilamaluba njalo isithele izithelo ze-alimondi.
9 Ɛberɛ a Mose de firii Awurade hɔ baeɛ sɛ ɔde rebɛkyerɛ nkurɔfoɔ no, wɔhunuiɛ no, wɔn ho dwirii wɔn. Afei, obiara gyee ne poma, gye Aaron nko.
Ngakho uMosi wazisusa zonke intonga phambi kukaThixo waziletha phambi kwabo bonke abako-Israyeli. Bazikhangela, ngulowo wathatha eyakhe intonga.
10 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔmfa Aaron poma no nto adaka no ho pɛɛ na ɔmfa nkae saa adɔnyɛ no. Na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ba bɛkyerɛ nnipa no bio na sɛ anwiinwii bi wɔ hɔ a ɛtia Aaron tumi a, ɛbɛsi amanehunu foforɔ a anka ɛbɛba nnipa no so no ano.
UThixo wathi kuMosi, “Buyisela intonga ka-Aroni phambi komtshokotsho wobufakazi, igcinwe khonapho ibe yisibonakaliso kulabo abahlamukayo. Lokhu kuzaqeda ukukhonona kwabo ngami, ukuze bangafi.”
11 Enti, Mose yɛɛ deɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
UMosi wenza khona lokho kanye uThixo ayemlaye ngakho.
12 Nanso Israelfoɔ no kɔɔ so nwiinwiiɛ sɛ, “Yɛyɛ teaseawuo.
Abako-Israyeli bathi kuMosi, “Sizakufa! Sifile, sonke sesifile!
13 Obiara a ɔbɛbɛn Awurade Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho no wu. Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛn nyinaa ase hye anaa?”
Loba ngubani ozasondela phansi kwethabanikeli likaThixo uzakufa. Sizakufa sonke na?”
