Mose 4 10
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Tsɔ klosalo wɔ kpẽ eve hena ameawo yɔyɔ be woaƒo ƒu kple gbeƒãɖeɖe be woaho.
“Make for yourself two trumpets of ductile silver, with which you may be able to call together the multitude when the camp is to be moved.
3 Ne woku kpẽ eveawo ƒo ƒui la, ameawo anya be, ele be yewoakpe ta le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
And when you sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather to you at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant.
4 Ke ne woku kpẽ ɖeka ko la, ekema kplɔlawo kple Israel ƒe toawo ƒe tatɔwo ava ƒo ƒu ɖe ŋkuwòme.
If you sound it only once, the leaders and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to you.
5 Ne woku kpẽa la, ekema to siwo ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe ɣedzeƒe la aho.
But if the sound of the trumpets is prolonged, but with interruptions, those who are toward the east side shall move the camp first.
6 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.
Then, at the second sounding of the trumpet with the same cadence, those who live toward the south shall take up their tents. And the remainder shall act in like manner, when the trumpets shall reverberate for a departure.
7 Ke ne wodi be dukɔ la katã nakpe ta la, woaku kpẽ la kpuie ko.
But when the people are to be gathered together, the sound of the trumpets shall be simple, and the sounds shall not be separated.
8 “Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo la koe kpɔ mɔ aku kpẽawo. Esia nye nuɖoanyi na mi tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
Now it is the sons of Aaron the priest who shall sound the trumpets. And this shall be an everlasting ordinance, in your generations.
9 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.
If you go forth to war from your land, against the enemies who set out against you, you shall sound the trumpets repeatedly, and there shall be a remembrance of you before the Lord your God, so that you may be rescued from the hands of your enemies.
10 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.”
If at any time you will have a banquet, and on feast days, and on the first days of the months, you shall sound the trumpets over the holocausts and the peace-offering victims, so that they may be for you as a remembrance by your God. I am the Lord your God.”

And Moses said to Hobab the son of Raguel the Midianite, his kinsman: “We are setting out to the place which the Lord will give to us. Come with us, so that we may do good to you. For the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

And if you come with us, whatever will be best among the riches which the Lord will deliver to us, we will give to you.”
