< Numbers 12 >

1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, on account of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for an Ethiopian woman had he married.
Ɛda koro bi Miriam ne Aaron kasa tiaa Mose sɛ ne yere yɛ Etiopiani.
2 And they said, Hath then only with Moses the Lord spoken? hath he not also spoken with us? And the Lord heard it.
Afei, wɔkaa sɛ, “Mose nko ara na Awurade akasa afa ne so? Na yɛn nso ɔnnkasa mfa yɛn so bi anaa?” Na Awurade tee wɔn anwiinwii no.
3 (But the man Moses was very meek, more so than any man who was upon the face of the earth.)
Na Mose yɛ ɔhobrɛaseni sene obiara a ɔte asase yi so.
4 And the Lord said suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Go out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation; and these three went out.
Ntɛm so, ɔfrɛɛ Mose, Aaron ne Miriam kɔɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu. Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo baasa no mommra ha.” Enti wɔbɛgyinagyinaa Awurade anim.
5 And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.
Afei, Awurade nam omununkum no mu siane ba bɛgyinaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano, na ɔfrɛɛ Aaron ne Miriam. Ɛberɛ a wɔtwe kɔɔ wɔn anim no,
6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet of your kind, I, the Lord, do make myself known unto him in a vision, in a dream do I speak with him.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Montie me, “Sɛ Awurade odiyifoɔ wɔ mo mu a, menam anisoadehunu so da me ho adi kyerɛ no, me kasa kyerɛ no daeɛ mu.
7 Not so is my servant Moses, in all my house is he faithful.
Nanso ɛnte saa wɔ me ɔsomfoɔ Mose ho. Me fie nyinaa mu, ɔyɛ ɔnokwafoɔ.
8 Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord doth he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
Me ne no kasa animu ne animu, kasa a emu da hɔ na ɛnyɛ abɛbuo. Na ɔhunu Awurade sɛdeɛ ɔteɛ. Adɛn enti na moansuro sɛ mobɛkasa atia me ɔsomfoɔ Mose?”
9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he went away.
Afei, Awurade bo fuu wɔn denden pa ara ɛnna ɔfirii hɔ kɔeɛ.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
Ɛberɛ a omununkum no refiri Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no atifi no, amonom hɔ ara, kwata bɛduruu Miriam ho fitaa. Aaron hunuu asɛm a asi no,
11 Then said Aaron unto Moses, Alas, my Lord, do not, I beseech thee, account to us as sin that wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
ɔteaam sɛ, “Ao, Owura, nnyina saa bɔne yi so nntwe yɛn aso; yɛyɛ nkwaseafoɔ sɛ yɛyɛɛ adeɛ a ɛte saa.
12 Let her not be as a dead-born child, of which half the flesh is consumed, when it cometh out of its mother's womb.
Mma no nyɛ sɛ owufoɔ a ne fa aporɔ firi nʼawoɔ mu.”
13 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, O God! do thou heal her, I beseech thee.
Na Mose teaam frɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Ao, Onyankopɔn, mesrɛ wo sɛ sa no yadeɛ!”
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up seven days outside of the camp, and after that let her be brought in again.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sɛ nʼagya tee ntasuo guu nʼanim a, anka ne ho bɛgu fi nnanson. Monyi no mfiri atenaeɛ ha nkɔhyɛ baabi nnanson na akyire no, ɔbɛtumi aba bio.”
15 And Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days; and the people did not set forward till Miriam was brought in again.
Enti wɔtwaa Miriam asuo firii atenaeɛ hɔ ma ɔkɔdii nnanson. Nnipa no twɛn kɔsii sɛ wɔsane de no baeɛ ansa na wɔretu kwan no bio.
16 And afterward the people removed from Chazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
Ɛno akyi, wɔfirii Haserot bɛbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Paran ɛserɛ so.
