< Numbers 12 >

1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, on account of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, —for, a Cushite woman, had he taken.
Ɛda koro bi Miriam ne Aaron kasa tiaa Mose sɛ ne yere yɛ Etiopiani.
2 And they said: Is it only and solely with Moses, that Yahweh hath spoken? With us also, hath he not spoken? And Yahweh 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 Now, the man Moses, was patient, exceedingly, —above all the sons of earth, who were on the face of the ground.
Na Mose yɛ ɔhobrɛaseni sene obiara a ɔte asase yi so.
4 Then said Yahweh suddenly, unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they 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 Then Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, —and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both went forth.
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 Then said he Hear, I beseech you my words. When ye have your prophet, As Yahweh in a vision, will I make myself known, unto him; In a dream, will 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, my servant Moses, —In all my house, trusty, is he:
Nanso ɛnte saa wɔ me ɔsomfoɔ Mose ho. Me fie nyinaa mu, ɔyɛ ɔnokwafoɔ.
8 Mouth to mouth, do I speak with him And plainly—not in dark sayings, And the form of Yahweh, doth he discern, —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 Yahweh kindled upon them and he departed.
Afei, Awurade bo fuu wɔn denden pa ara ɛnna ɔfirii hɔ kɔeɛ.
10 And, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent, —lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam and lo! …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, —Oh my lord, do not I beseech thee lay upon us sin, although we have made ourselves foolish, and although 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, I beseech thee, remain like the still-born, —which when it is born of its mother, the half of its flesh is consumed.
Mma no nyɛ sɛ owufoɔ a ne fa aporɔ firi nʼawoɔ mu.”
13 Then Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —O GOD, I beseech thee grant healing. I beseech thee unto her.
Na Mose teaam frɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Ao, Onyankopɔn, mesrɛ wo sɛ sa no yadeɛ!”
14 And Yahweh said unto Moses: If, her own father, had, but spat, in her face, would she not, have acknowledged the shame for seven days? Let her shut herself up for seven days, outside the camp, and afterwards, let her be received back.
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 So Miriam shut herself up, outside the camp, for seven days, —and, the people, set not forward, until Miriam had been received back.
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 Then afterwards, did the people set forward from Hazeroth, and encamped in the desert of Paran.
Ɛno akyi, wɔfirii Haserot bɛbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Paran ɛserɛ so.
