< Numbers 10 >

1 The Lord told Moses,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 “Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. They are to be used for summoning the Israelites and to have the camp move out.
“Tsɔ klosalo wɔ kpẽ eve hena ameawo yɔyɔ be woaƒo ƒu kple gbeƒãɖeɖe be woaho.
3 When both trumpets are blown, all the Israelites are to gather before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Ne woku kpẽ eveawo ƒo ƒui la, ameawo anya be, ele be yewoakpe ta le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
4 But if only one is blown, then only the tribal leaders are to gather before you.
Ke ne woku kpẽ ɖeka ko la, ekema kplɔlawo kple Israel ƒe toawo ƒe tatɔwo ava ƒo ƒu ɖe ŋkuwòme.
5 When you blow the trumpet loudly, which is the alarm signal to move out, the camps on the east side are to march out first.
Ne woku kpẽa la, ekema to siwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe ɣedzeƒe la aho.
6 When you blow the trumpet loudly the second time, the camps on the south side are to march out. That's their signal to start moving.
Ne kpẽa gaɖi zi evelia tu ɖe nu la, to siwo le dziehe lɔƒo la hã adze mɔ. Kpẽa ƒe ɖiɖi nye nyanyanana be woadze mɔ.
7 To summon the people, blow the trumpets normally, not the loud alarm signal.
Ke ne wodi be dukɔ la katã nakpe ta la, woaku kpẽ la kpuie ko.
8 Aaron's descendants are to blow the trumpets. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
“Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo la koe kpɔ mɔ aku kpẽawo. Esia nye nuɖoanyi na mi tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
9 When you're in your own land and have to go into battle against an enemy who has attacked you, blow the alarm signal and the Lord your God won't forget you—he will save you from your enemies.
Ne mieyi aʋa kple miaƒe futɔwo, ame siwo le mia tem ɖe anyi le miawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi la, ekema miku kpẽawo. Ekema Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la aɖo ŋku mia dzi, eye wòaɖe mi tso miaƒe futɔwo ƒe asi me.
10 Blow the trumpets when you celebrate too, at your regular feasts and at the beginning of each month. This is when you give your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings which act as a reminder for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”
Miku kpẽawo le dzidzɔɣiwo hã. Miku wo le miaƒe ƒe sia ƒe Ŋkekenyuiwo dzi kple dzinu yeye ɖe sia ɖe ƒe Ŋkekenyuiwo dzi. Miku kpẽawo hã ɖe miaƒe numevɔsawo kple ŋutifafavɔsawo hã ŋu, eye woanye ŋkuɖodzi na mi le miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.”
11 The cloud rose up from the Tabernacle of the Testimony on the twentieth day of the second month of the second year.
Lilikpo la ho le agbadɔ la tame le Israelviwo ƒe dzodzo le Egipte ƒe ƒe evelia ƒe ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke blaevelia gbe.
12 The Israelites left the Desert of Sinai and moved from place to place until the cloud stopped in the Desert of Paran.
Ale Israelviwo dzo le Sinai gbegbe la. Wodze lilikpo la yome va se ɖe esime wòtɔ ɖe Paran gbegbe la.
13 This was the first time they moved out following the Lord's command through Moses.
Esiae nye woƒe mɔzɔzɔ gbãtɔ esi woxɔ Yehowa ƒe se siwo wòde na Mose tso mɔzɔzɔ la ŋuti.
14 The tribal divisions of Judah went first, marching out under their flag, with Nahshon, son of Amminadab, in charge.

28 This was the order in which the Israelite tribal divisions moved out.
Ɖoɖo sia mee Israelviwo ƒe towo nɔna hezɔa mɔ.
29 Moses explained to Hobab, the son of Moses' father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We're leaving for the place of which the Lord promised, ‘I'm going to give it to you.’ Come with us, and we'll be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”
Gbe ɖeka la, Mose gblɔ na srɔ̃a nɔviŋutsu, Hobab si nye Midiantɔ Reuel ƒe viŋutsu be, “Mlɔeba la, míele mɔ dzem ɖo ta Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi. Na míayi. Míalé be na wò, elabena Yehowa do nu nyui geɖewo ŋugbe na Israel!”
30 “No, I won't go—I'll return to my own country and my own people,” Hobab replied.
Ke Hobab gblɔ nɛ be, “Ao, ele be matrɔ ayi mía de aɖanɔ nye amewo dome.”
31 “Please don't abandon us now,” Moses said, “because you're the one who knows where we should camp in the desert and you can guide us.
Mose ɖe kuku nɛ be, “Nɔ mía gbɔ, elabena ènya teƒe siwo míaƒu asaɖa anyi ɖo, eye ànye ŋku na mí.
32 If you come with us, whatever good things the Lord blesses us with we'll share with you.”
Ne èkplɔ mí ɖo la, àkpɔ gome le nu nyui siwo katã Yehowa wɔna na mí la me.”
33 They left the mountain of the Lord to go on a three-day journey The Ark of the Lord's Agreement led the way for them during these three days to find a place for them to camp.
Wozɔ mɔ ŋkeke etɔ̃ tso Sinai to, Yehowa ƒe to la gbɔ. Nubablaɖaka la le wo ŋgɔ be yeatia teƒe si woatɔ ɖo la na wo.
34 The cloud of the Lord was above them during day as they moved on from the camp.
Wodze mɔ le ŋkeke me. Yehowa ƒe lilikpo la nɔ zɔzɔm le ŋgɔ na wo.
35 Whenever the Ark was carried out, Moses would call out, “Stand up, Lord, and may your enemies be scattered, and may those who hate you run away from you.”
Ne wokɔ nubablaɖaka la dze mɔ la, Mose doa ɣli be, “O! Yehowa, tsi tsitre, eye nàka wò futɔwo hlẽ. Na woasi le ŋgɔwò.”
36 Whenever it was set down, he would call out, “Return, Lord, to the thousands and thousands of the people of Israel.”
Ne wodro nubablaɖaka la ɖi la, egblɔna be, “Yehowa, trɔ gbɔ va Israelvi akpe akpeawo gbɔ.”
