Numbers 10

1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

2 Make unto thyself two trumpets of silver, beaten out of one piece shalt thou make them; and they shall serve thee for the calling of the congregation, and for the setting forward of the camps.

“Tsɔ klosalo wɔ kpẽ eve hena ameawo yɔyɔ be woaƒo ƒu kple gbeƒãɖeɖe be woaho.

3 And when they shall blow with both, all the congregation shall assemble themselves unto thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Ne woku kpẽ eveawo ƒo ƒui la, ameawo anya be, ele be yewoakpe ta le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.

4 And if they blow with but one, then shall assemble themselves unto thee the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel.

Ke ne woku kpẽ ɖeka ko la, ekema kplɔlawo kple Israel ƒe toawo ƒe tatɔwo ava ƒo ƒu ɖe ŋkuwòme.

5 And when ye blow an alarm, then shall set forward the camps that encamp on the east side.

Ne woku kpẽa la, ekema to siwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe ɣedzeƒe la aho.

6 And when ye blow an alarm the second time, then shall set forward the camps that encamp on the south side: an alarm shall they blow for their setting forward.

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 But at the assembling of the assembly, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

Ke ne wodi be dukɔ la katã nakpe ta la, woaku kpẽ la kpuie ko.

8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.

“Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo la koe kpɔ mɔ aku kpẽawo. Esia nye nuɖoanyi na mi tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.

9 And if ye go to war in your land against the oppressor that oppresseth you, then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the Lord your God, and ye shall be saved 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 And on the day of your gladness, and on your appointed festivals, and on the beginnings of your months, shall ye blow with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial 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 And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.

Lilikpo la ho le agbadɔ la tame le Israelviwo ƒe dzodzo le Egipte ƒe ƒe evelia ƒe ɣleti evelia ƒe ŋkeke blaevelia gbe.

12 And the children of Israel set forward on their journeys from the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud halted in the wilderness of Paran.

Ale Israelviwo dzo le Sinai gbegbe la. Wodze lilikpo la yome va se ɖe esime wòtɔ ɖe Paran gbegbe la.

13 And they set forward for the first time at the order of the Lord by the hand of Moses.

Esiae nye woƒe mɔzɔzɔ gbãtɔ esi woxɔ Yehowa ƒe se siwo wòde na Mose tso mɔzɔzɔ la ŋuti.

14 And the standard of the camp of the children of Judah set forward at the first, according to their armies: and over their host was Nachshon the son of 'Amminadab.

21 And then set forward the Kehathites, the bearers of the sanctuary: and the others set up the tabernacle against they came.

22 Then set forward the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim according to their armies; and over their host was Elishama the son of 'Ammihud.

25 Then set forward the standard of the camp of the children of Dan, the rereward of all the camps, according to their hosts: and over their host was Achiezer the son of 'Ammishaddai.

28 In this order were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.

Ɖoɖo sia mee Israelviwo ƒe towo nɔna hezɔa mɔ.

29 And Moses said unto Chobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, the father-in-law of Moses, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord hath said, This will I give unto you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for the Lord hath spoken [to bring] good upon 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 And he said unto him, I will not go; but to my own land, and to my birthplace will I go.

Ke Hobab gblɔ nɛ be, “Ao, ele be matrɔ ayi mía de aɖanɔ nye amewo dome.”

31 And he said, Do not, I pray thee, leave us; since thou didst find out the places where we were to encamp in the wilderness, and thou hast been to us instead of eyes.

Mose ɖe kuku nɛ be, “Nɔ mía gbɔ, elabena ènya teƒe siwo míaƒu asaɖa anyi ɖo, eye ànye ŋku na mí.

32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that the same goodness which the Lord may do unto us, will we do unto thee.

Ne èkplɔ mí ɖo la, àkpɔ gome le nu nyui siwo katã Yehowa wɔna na mí la me.”

33 And they set forward from the mount of the Lord a three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them in the three days' journey, to search out for them a resting-place.

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 And the cloud of the Lord was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.

Wodze mɔ le ŋkeke me. Yehowa ƒe lilikpo la nɔ zɔzɔm le ŋgɔ na wo.

35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Lord, and let thy enemies be scattered; and let those that hate thee flee before thy face.

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 And when it rested, he said, Return, O Lord, among thy myriads of the thousands of Israel.

Ne wodro nubablaɖaka la ɖi la, egblɔna be, “Yehowa, trɔ gbɔ va Israelvi akpe akpeawo gbɔ.”
