< Numbers 11 >

1 And the people were as murmurers, [speaking] evil in the ears of the LORD: and when the LORD heard it, his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp.
Ankyɛ biara na nnipa no fii ase nwiinwii sɛ nneɛma nkɔ yiye mma wɔn, na Awurade tee. Nʼabufuw sɔree wɔ wɔn anwiinwii no ho. Eyi nti, Awurade maa ogya bɛhyew beae a na wɔte hɔ no mfikyiri baabi.
2 And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the LORD, and the fire abated.
Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu frɛɛ Mose sɛ ommegye wɔn no, ɔbɔɔ mpae srɛɛ Awurade maa wɔn na ogya no dumii.
3 And the name of that place was called Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
Efi saa bere no, wɔtoo beae hɔ din se Tabera a ne nkyerɛase ne “Ahyewee,” efisɛ ogya a efi Awurade nkyɛn no hyew wɔn atenae hɔ.
4 And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Misraimfo a na wɔwɔ wɔn ntam no kɔn dɔɔ nneɛma pa a na ɛwɔ Misraim no. Eyi amma Israelfo no ani ansɔ baabi a na wɔwɔ hɔ no, enti wosui se, “Hena na ɔbɛma yɛn aduan adi?
5 We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
Yɛkae nsumnam a yɛwee wɔ Misraim mpoano no. Saa ara nso na na yenya kokumba, ɛfere, gyeene ne galik di no.
6 but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all: we have nought save this manna to look to.
Nanso mprempren de, yɛn anom ato; yenhu hwee sɛ mana nko ara.”
7 And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium.
Na mana no kɛse te sɛ wusa aba na ɛsɛ ɛhyɛ a awaawae afi dubona ho agu fam.
8 The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and seethed it in pots, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
Nnipa no tase fii fam na wɔayam anaa wɔasiw wɔ ɔwaduru mu ma adan esiam. Wowie a, wɔnoa de bi yɛ tetare. Woka wʼano a, ɛte sɛ tetare a wɔakyew wɔ nhabamma ngo mu.
9 And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
Obosu tɔ wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ Anadwo a na mana no nso tɔ.
10 And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.
Mose tee sɛ mmusuakuw no nyinaa gyinagyina, atwa wɔn ntamadan ho ahyia resu. Eyi hyɛɛ Awurade abufuw yiye, na ɛhaw Mose nso.
11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou evil entreated thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
Mose bisaa Awurade se, “Adɛn nti na wode ɔhaw sɛɛ aba wʼakoa so? Dɛn na mayɛ atia wo a na wode saa nnipa a wɔte sɛɛ yi nyinaa adesoa abɛsoa me?
12 Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
Me na minyinsɛn nnipa yi nyinaa? Me na mewoo wɔn? Adɛn nti na wuse minturu wɔn wɔ me nsa so sɛ nkokoaa nkosi sɛ yebedu asase a wohyɛɛ wɔn agyanom ho bɔ no so?
13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
Ɛhefa na merekɔfa nam abrɛ nnipa yi? Wosu kyerɛ me se, ‘Ma yɛn nam nwe!’
14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
Me nko ara rentumi nsoa ɔman yi! Adesoa no mu yɛ duru ma me dodo!
15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
Na sɛ saa na wo ne me bedi no de a, mesrɛ, kum me, sɛ manya wʼanim anuonyam a, na mma minnhyia mʼankasa me sɛe.”
16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Frɛ Israelfo mpanyimfo no mu aduɔson ma me; fa wɔn bra Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu na wo ne wɔn nnyina hɔ.
17 And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
Mɛba hɔ na me ne wo abɛkasa na honhom a ɛwɔ wo so no, mɛfa na mede akogu wɔn nso so bi; ɛba saa a, wɔne wo bɛsoa nnipa no adesoa sɛnea ɛrenyɛ wo nko ara wʼadesoa.
18 And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
“Ka kyerɛ nnipa no se: Munnwira mo ho na ɔkyena, mubenya nam awe. Ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Awurade ate mo sufrɛ a ɛfa nneɛma a mugyaw no Misraim no ho na ɔrebɛma mo nam na mobɛwe.
19 Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
Ɛnyɛ da koro anaa nnaanu anaa nnaanum anaa nnadu anaa aduonu!
20 but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have rejected the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
Na ɔsram baako mu, mobɛwe nam ara ama afono mo ama afa mo hwene mu. Efisɛ moapo Awurade a ɔka mo ho wɔ ha no, na moasu wɔ nʼanim se, adɛn nti na yefii Misraim?’”
21 And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
Mose kae se, “Mmarima nko ara mpem ahansia na wɔwɔ ha, ɛno na woahyɛ wɔn bɔ sɛ wobɛma wɔn nam awe ara ɔsram!
22 Shall flocks and herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
Sɛ yekum nguan ne anantwi ma wɔn a ɛbɛso wɔn ana? Sɛ wɔkyere po mu nam nyinaa ma wɔn a ɛbɛso wɔn ana?”
23 And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD’S hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
Na Awurade bisaa Mose se, “So Awurade basa yɛ tiaa dodo ana? Afei wubehu sɛ mʼasɛm yɛ nokware anaa ɛnyɛ nokware.”
24 And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD: and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent.
Enti Mose fii Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu hɔ kɔkaa nsɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Ɔboaboaa mpanyimfo aduɔson ano ma wotwaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho hyiae.
25 And the LORD came down in the cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
Na Awurade nam omununkum mu baa fam ne Mose kasae, na ɔfaa honhom a ɛwɔ Mose so no de guu mpanyimfo aduɔson no so. Bere a honhom no baa wɔn so kakra no, wɔhyɛɛ nkɔm mmere tiaa bi mu.
26 But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but had not gone out unto the Tent: and they prophesied in the camp.
Nanso na mpanyimfo aduɔson no mu baanu a wɔfrɛ wɔn Eldad ne Medad da so wɔ wɔn atenae hɔ. Na bere a honhom no baa wɔn so wɔ hɔ no, wɔhyɛɛ nkɔm wɔ hɔ.
27 And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
Mmerante bi tuu mmirika kɔbɔɔ Mose asɛm a asi no ho amanneɛ
28 And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses, one of his chosen men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
na Nun babarima Yosua a na wɔayi no sɛ ɔnyɛ Mose boafo no ampene so, na ɔkae se, “Me wura Mose, ma wonnyae!”
29 And Moses said unto him, Art thou jealous for my sake? would God that all the LORD’S people were prophets, that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
Mose bisaa no se, “Me ho na woretwe ninkunu yi? Ɛkaa me nko a, na anka Awurade nkurɔfo nyinaa yɛ adiyifo a Awurade de ne honhom agu wɔn nyinaa so!”
30 And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
Na Mose ne Israel mpanyimfo no san kɔɔ wɔn atenae hɔ.
31 And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day’s journey on this side, and a day’s journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.
Na Awurade bɔɔ ahum maa ɛde mmoko fi po mu beguu atenae hɔ ne ɛho mmaa nyinaa. Baabiara a obi bɛfa no, na nnomaa yi bi atu nenam asase ani bɛyɛ anammɔn anan.
32 And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
Enti da mu no nyinaa, nnipa kyekyeree mmoko no bi kunkum wɔn awia ne anadwo ne nʼadekyee nso. Nea wannya bi no koraa na onyaa susukoraa ɔha! Mmoko buu so wɔ atenae hɔ nyinaa.
33 While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
Na nnipa no fii ase wee mmoa no bi no, Awurade bo san fuw wɔn maa ɔde ɔyaredɔm kum wɔn mu fa kɛse no ara.
34 And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
Enti wɔtoo beae hɔ din se Kibrot-Hataawa a nkyerɛase ne, “Akɔnnɔ ɔda” efisɛ wɔn a na wɔn ani bere nam na wɔn kɔn adɔ Misraim tena no na wosiee wɔn wɔ hɔ.
35 From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
Ɔman no tu fii Kibrot-Hataawa hɔ kɔtenaa Haserot.
