Numbers 12
1 Miriam and Aaron were critical of Moses because of his Ethiopian wife—he'd married an Ethiopian woman.
Miriam ne Aaron kasa tiaa Mose sɛ ne yere yɛ Etiopiani.
2 “Is it only through Moses that the Lord speaks?” they asked. “Doesn't he speak through us too?” The Lord heard all this.
Wɔkae se, “Mose nko ara na Awurade akasa afa ne so ana? Na yɛn nso ɔnkasa mfa yɛn so bi ana?” Na Awurade tee wɔn anwiinwii no.
3 Moses was a very humble man, more than anyone else on earth.
Na Mose yɛ ɔhobrɛaseni sen obiara a ɔte asase yi so.
4 All of a sudden the Lord called for Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, telling them, “The three of you, come to the Tent of Meeting.” The three of them did so.
Ntɛm so, Awurade frɛɛ Mose, Aaron ne Miriam kɔɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu. Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo baasa no mommra Ahyiae Ntamadan mu ha.” Enti wobegyinagyinaa Awurade anim.
5 The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood in the entrance to the Tent. He called Aaron and Miriam and they came forward.
Afei, Awurade nam omununkum fadum mu sian ba begyinaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano, na ɔfrɛɛ Aaron ne Miriam. Bere a wotwiw kɔɔ wɔn anim no,
6 “Now listen to my words, he told them. If you had prophets, I the Lord would reveal myself to them in visions; I would communicate with them in dreams.
ɔkae se, “Muntie me nsɛm: “Sɛ odiyifo wɔ mo mu a, Me, Awurade, menam anisoadehu so da me ho adi kyerɛ no, me kasa kyerɛ no wɔ dae mu.
7 But it's not like this with my servant Moses, who of all my people is the one who is faithful.
Nanso ɛnte saa wɔ me somfo Mose ho. Me fi nyinaa mu no, ɔyɛ ɔnokwafo.
8 I talk to him personally, face to face. I speak plainly, not in riddles. He sees the likeness of the Lord. So why weren't you afraid when you criticized my servant Moses?”
Me ne no kasa anim ne anim, kasa a emu da hɔ na ɛnyɛ abisae mu. Na ohu Awurade sɛnea ɔte. Adɛn nti na moansuro sɛ mobɛkasa atia me somfo Mose?”
9 The Lord was angry with them, and he left.
Awurade bo fuw wɔn dennen pa ara na ofii hɔ kɔe.
10 As the cloud rose above the Tent, Miriam's skin suddenly turned white with leprosy. Aaron turned to look and saw that she had leprosy.
Bere a omununkum no fii Ahyiae Ntamadan no atifi no, kwata beduruu Miriam ho fitaa sɛ sukyerɛmma. Aaron twaa nʼani huu sɛ ɔwɔ ɔhonam ani yare a ɛyɛ fi no,
11 He said to Moses, “My lord, please don't punish us for this sin that we've so stupidly committed.
ɔka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo, nnyina saa bɔne a yɛnam nkwaseasɛm so adi yi so ntwe yɛn aso.
12 Please don't let her become like a stillborn baby whose flesh is already decaying when they're born!”
Mma no nyɛ sɛ akokoaa a wawu wɔ ne yam a ne fa aporɔw.”
13 Moses called out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!”
Na Mose teɛɛ mu frɛɛ Awurade se, “Onyankopɔn, mesrɛ wo sɛ sa no yare!”
14 But the Lord replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face wouldn't she have been disgraced for seven days? Keep her in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and then she can be taken back in.”
Awurade buaa Mose se, “Sɛ nʼagya tew ntasu guu nʼanim a, anka nʼanim rengu ase nnanson? Munyi no mfi atenae ha nkɔhyɛ baabi nnanson na akyiri no, obetumi asan aba.”
15 Miriam was kept in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was taken back in.
Enti wotwaa Miriam asu fii atenae hɔ ma okodii nnanson. Nnipa no twɛn kosii sɛ wɔsan de no bae ansa na wɔretu kwan no bio.
16 Then the people left Hazeroth and set up camp in the Desert of Paran.
Ɛno akyi no, wofii Haserot bɛbɔɔ atenae wɔ Paran sare so.
