Numbers 20
1 The children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month. The people stayed in Kadesh. Miriam died there, and was buried there.
Israelfo no nyinaa duu Sin sare so ɔsram a edi kan no mu, na wɔtenaa Kades. Ɛhɔ na Miriam wu maa wosiee no.
2 There was no water for the congregation; and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
Na nsu a wɔbɛnom nni hɔ nti, nnipa no sɔre tiaa Mose ne Aaron.
3 The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before Yahweh!
Nnipa no ne Mose hamee se, “Sɛ yɛne yɛn nuanom wuwuu wɔ Awurade anim a anka yɛpɛ.
4 Why have you brought Yahweh’s assembly into this wilderness, that we should die there, we and our animals?
Adɛn nti na mode Awurade man ne yɛn nguan ne yɛn anantwi aba sare yi so sɛ yemmewuwu?
5 Why have you made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in to this evil place? It is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.”
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.”
6 Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and fell on their faces. Yahweh’s glory appeared to them.
Mose ne Aaron fii dɔm no hɔ kɔɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano de wɔn anim butubutuw fam wɔ Awurade anim; na wohuu Awurade anuonyam.
7 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
8 “Take the rod, and assemble the congregation, you, and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes, that it pour out its water. You shall bring water to them out of the rock; so you shall give the congregation and their livestock drink.”
“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!”
9 Moses took the rod from before Yahweh, as he commanded him.
Mose yɛɛ nea Awurade hyɛe no. Ɔfaa abaa no fii baabi a wɔde asie wɔ Awurade anim.
10 Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water out of this rock for you?”
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?”
11 Moses lifted up his hand, and struck the rock with his rod twice, and water came out abundantly. The congregation and their livestock drank.
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.
12 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you didn’t believe in me, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
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.”
13 These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Yahweh, and he was sanctified in them.
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.
14 Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, saying: “Your brother Israel says: You know all the travail that has happened to us;
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.
15 how our fathers went down into Egypt, and we lived in Egypt a long time. The Egyptians mistreated us and our fathers.
Yɛn agyanom kɔtenaa Misraim, yɛtenaa hɔ mfe bebree. Misraimfo no yɛɛ yɛne yɛn agyanom ayayade,
16 When we cried to Yahweh, he heard our voice, sent an angel, and brought us out of Egypt. Behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the edge of your border.
nanso yesu frɛɛ Awurade no, otiee yɛn na ɔsomaa ɔbɔfo ma obeyii yɛn fii Misraim. “Mprempren yɛwɔ Kades wɔ mo asase hye so.
17 “Please let us pass through your land. We will not pass through field or through vineyard, neither will we drink from the water of the wells. We will go along the king’s highway. We will not turn away to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed your border.”
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.”
18 Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through me, lest I come out with the sword against you.”
Nanso Edomhene buae se, “Mommfa mʼasase so, anyɛ saa a mede asraafo ne afoa betua mo ano!”
19 The children of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway; and if we drink your water, I and my livestock, then I will give its price. Only let me, without doing anything else, pass through on my feet.”
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.”
20 He said, “You shall not pass through.” Edom came out against him with many people, and with a strong hand.
Nanso Edomhene buae se, “Mommfa yɛn asase so!” Ɔboaboaa nʼakofo ano de wɔn kɔɔ ɔhye no so.
21 Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border, so Israel turned away from him.
Esiane sɛ Edom amma wɔn kwan amma Israelfo no amfa wɔn man mu no nti, wɔman faa nkyɛn.
22 They traveled from Kadesh, and the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.
Israelfo no nyinaa fii Kades kɔɔ Bepɔw Hor so.
23 Yahweh spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron wɔ Bepɔw Hor a ɛwɔ Edom hye so no se,
24 “Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against my word at the waters of Meribah.
“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.
25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;
Fa Aaron ne ne babarima Eleasar kɔ Bepɔw Hor so.
26 and strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron shall be gathered, and shall die there.”
Ɛhɔ na wubeyi Aaron asɔfotade no de ahyɛ ne babarima Eleasar. Ɛhɔ na Aaron bewu na watoa nʼagyanom.”
27 Moses did as Yahweh commanded. They went up onto Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
Mose yɛɛ nea Awurade hyɛɛ no no. Wɔn baasa nyinaa kɔɔ bepɔw Hor so a nnipa no nyinaa hwɛ wɔn.
28 Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son. Aaron died there on the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
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,
29 When all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they wept for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
na nnipa no tee Aaron wu no, Israelfo no suu no adaduasa.
