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 thee two trumpets of beaten silver, wherewith thou mayest call together the multitude when the camp is to be removed.

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

And when thou shalt sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather unto thee to 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 thou sound but once, the princes and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to thee.

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

But if the sound of the trumpets be longer, and with interruptions, they that are on the east side, shall first go forward.

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.

And at the second sounding and like noise of the trumpet, they who lie on the south side shall take up their tents. And after this manner shall the rest do, when the trumpets shall sound for a march.

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

But when the people is to be gathered together, the sound of the trumpets shall be plain, and they shall not make a broken sound.

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

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall sound the trumpets: and this shall be an ordinance for ever 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 out of your land against the enemies that fight against you, you shall sound aloud with the trumpets, and there shall be a remembrance of you before the Lord your God, that you may be delivered out of 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 shall have a banquet, and on your festival days, and on the first days of your months, you shall sound the trumpets over the holocausts, and the sacrifices of peace offerings, that they may be to you for a remembrance of your God. I am the Lord your God.
