Mose 4 10

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying:

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

Make thee two trumpets of silver, of beaten work, shalt thou make them, —and they shall be unto thee for calling the assembly, and for setting forward the camps.

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

As soon as they blow therewith, so soon shall all the assembly assemble themselves unto thee, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting.

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

And, if, only once, they blow, then shall the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, gather themselves unto thee.

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

But when ye blow an alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped eastwards;

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 when ye blow a second alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped southwards, —an alarm, shall they blow for setting them forward,

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

But in calling together the convocation, ye shall blow but shall not sound an alarm.

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 priests, shall blow with the trumpets, —and it shall be unto you for a statute age-abiding, unto 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.

And when ye go into war in your land against the assailant that assaileth you, then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets, —and bring yourselves to mind before Yahweh your God, and be saved, from 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.”

And in your day of rejoicing and in your appointed seasons and in the beginnings of your months, then shall ye blow with the trumpets, over your ascending-sacrifices, and over your peace-offerings, —so shall they be unto you for a memorial before your God. I—Yahweh, am your God.

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

And so it came to pass in the second year, in the second month on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud lifted itself up, from off the habitation of the testimony;

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

and the sons of Israel set forward by their removals from the desert of Sinai, and then the cloud abode in the desert of Paran.

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

Thus then did they set forward for the first time, —at the bidding of Yahweh, by the hand of Moses.

14 Yuda ƒe to la dze ŋgɔ, nɔ woƒe aflaga la yome. Woƒe kplɔlae nye Nahson, Aminadab ƒe viŋutsu.

So the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set forward first, by their hosts, and over his own host, was Nahshon, son of Amminadab;

15 Isaka ƒe to la kplɔ wo ɖo. Woƒe kplɔlae nye Netanel, Zuar ƒe viŋutsu.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Nethanel, son of Zuar;

16 Eliab, Helon ƒe viŋutsu kplɔ Zebulon ƒe to la dze wo yome.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Eliab, son of Helon.

17 Wokaka Agbadɔ la, eye Gerson kple Merari ƒe viwo tso Levi ƒe viwo dome kplɔ wo ɖo. Wokɔ Agbadɔ la ɖe abɔta.

Then was taken down the habitation, —and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward bearing the habitation.

18 Ruben ƒe to la kple woƒe aflaga dze wo yome le woƒe kplɔla Elizur, Sedeur ƒe viŋutsu ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.

Then set forward the standard of the camp of Reuben, by their hosts, —and over his own host, Elizur, son of Shedeur;

19 Simeon ƒe to la kplɔ woawo hã ɖo. Wonɔ woƒe kplɔla Selumiel, Zurisadai ƒe viŋutsu ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai;

20 To si kplɔ wo ɖo lae nye Gad ƒe to la. Woƒe kplɔlae nye Eliasaf, Deguel ƒe viŋutsu.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad, Eliasaph, son of Deuel.

21 Kohat ƒe viwo kplɔ Gad ƒe to la ɖo. Woawoe tsɔa nu kɔkɔeawo. Wotua agbadɔ la ɖe teƒe yeyea hafi wova ɖona.

Then set forward the Kohathites, bearing the sanctuary, —and so the habitation was reared by the time they came in.

22 Efraim ƒe to la kplɔ Kohat ƒe viwo ɖo. Wonɔ woƒe aflaga yome le Elisama, Amihud ƒe viŋutsu ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.

Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim by their hosts, —and over his own host, was Elishama son of Ammihud;

23 Manase ƒe to la nɔ Gamaliel, Pedahzur ƒe viŋutsu ƒe kpɔkplɔ te kplɔ wo ɖo,

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur;

24 eye Benyamin ƒe to la nɔ woƒe kplɔla Abidan, Gideoni ƒe viŋutsu ƒe kpɔkplɔ te kplɔ wo ɖo.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, Abidan, son of Gideoni.

25 Ame mamlɛtɔwoe nye Dan ƒe to la. Wonɔ woƒe aflaga yome le woƒe kplɔla, Ahiezer, Amisadai ƒe viŋutsu ƒe kpɔkplɔ te.

Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, bringing up the rear of all the camps, by their hosts, —and over his own host, Ahiezur, son of Ammishaddai;

26 Aser ƒe to la, ame siwo Pagiel, Okran ƒe viŋutsu kplɔ,

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Pagiel, son of Ochran;

27 kple Naftali ƒe to la, ame siwo Ahira, Enan ƒe viŋutsu kplɔ la dze wo yome.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Ahira, son of Enan.

28 Ɖoɖo sia mee Israelviwo ƒe towo nɔna hezɔa mɔ.

These, were the settings-forward of the sons of Israel by their hosts, —thus did they set forward.

29 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!”

Then said Moses to Hobab, son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses: Setting forward, are we unto the place of which Yahweh hath said, The same, will I give unto you, —Oh come with us and we will do thee good, for, Yahweh, hath spoken good, concerning Israel.

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

And he said unto him, I will not go, —but unto my own land, and unto my own kindred, will I go.

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

Then said he: I beseech thee, do not forsake us, —for, on this account, hast thou come to know of our encamping in the desert, so shalt thou be unto us as eyes;

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

and it shall be if thou wilt go with us, —yea it shall be that with the very good wherewith Yahweh shall do us good, will we do good unto thee.

33 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.

So then they went forward, from the mountain of Yahweh, a journey of three days, —and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, was going before them a journey of three days, to search out for them a resting-place,

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

And the cloud of Yahweh, was over them by day, —when they set forward out of the camp.

35 Ne wokɔ nubablaɖaka la dze mɔ la, Mose doa ɣli be, “O! Yehowa, tsi tsitre, eye nàka wò futɔwo hlẽ. Na woasi le ŋgɔwò.”

And it came to pass when the ark set forward, that Moses said: Arise, O Yahweh! and scattered be thy foes, Let them that hate thee flee before thee;

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

But when it rested, he said, —Return, O Yahweh! unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel.
