Mose 4 11
1 Ameawo de asi liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ me le woƒe fukpekpewo katã ta. Yehowa see, eye wòdo dɔmedzoe ɖe wo ŋu le woƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ ta. Ale Yehowa ƒe dzo de asi ame siwo le asaɖa la ƒe mlɔenu la tsɔtsrɔ̃ me.
And the people were as murmurers, speaking evil in the ears of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and devoured in the uttermost part of the camp.
2 Wodo ɣli na Mose be wòaxɔ na yewo. Esi Mose do gbe ɖa na Yehowa ɖe wo ta la, dzo la tsi.
And the people cried unto Moses; and Moses prayed unto the LORD, and the fire abated.
3 Tso ɣe ma ɣi dzi la, wona ŋkɔ teƒe la be “Dzobiteƒe,” elabena dzo tso Yehowa gbɔ bi le ameawo dome le afi ma.
And the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
4 Nuɖuɖu bubuwo de asi yakame siwo le wo dome la dzodzro me, eye Israelviwo gade asi liʋĩliʋĩlilĩ me hegblɔna be, “Ne míakpɔ lã aɖu ko!
And the mixed multitude that was among them fell a lusting; and the children of Israel also wept on their part, and said: 'Would that we were given flesh to eat!
5 Míeɖo ŋku tɔmelã siwo míeɖu le Egipte femaxee kple dzamatre, aɖiba, agumetaku, sabala kple ayo dzi.
We remember the fish, which we were wont to eat in Egypt for nought; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic;
6 Ke fifia la, míegakpɔa nu siawo o; mana ko míeɖuna gbe sia gbe!”
but now our soul is dried away; there is nothing at all; we have nought save this manna to look to.' —
7 Mana la le ɣie abe bliku ene gake ele gbadzɛe, eye wòvivina abe anyitsibolo ene.
Now the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance thereof as the appearance of bdellium.
8 Ameawo fɔnɛ le anyigba, tonɛ le to me, ɖanɛ eye wòwɔa tatalĩ si vivina abe tatalĩ si wotɔ le ami me ene.
The people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in mortars, and seethed it in pots, and made cakes of it; and the taste of it was as the taste of a cake baked with oil.
9 Mana gena kple zãmu ƒe dzadza le zã me.
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it. —
10 Ƒomewo tsia tsitre ɖe woƒe agbadɔwo nu henɔa avi fam. Mose se woƒe avifafa. Yehowa gado dɔmedzoe ɖe edzi wu, eye Mose hã mekpɔ ŋudzedze le nu sia ŋu o.
And Moses heard the people weeping, family by family, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; and Moses was displeased.
11 Mose gblɔ na Yehowa be, “Nu ka ta mève nu nye eye nètiam be yeadro dukɔ sia tɔgbi ƒe agba ɖe dzinye?
And Moses said unto the LORD: 'Wherefore hast Thou dealt ill with Thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in Thy sight, that Thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
12 Vinyewo wonyea? Nyee nye wo fofoa? Nu sia tae nède dɔ asi nam be makpɔ wo dzi abe vidzĩwo ene va se ɖe esime míaɖo anyigba si ŋugbe nèdo na mía tɔgbuiwo la dzia?
Have I conceived all this people? have I brought them forth, that Thou shouldest say unto me: Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing-father carrieth the sucking child, unto the land which Thou didst swear unto their fathers?
13 Afi ka makpɔ lã tsoe ana ame siawo katã? Wole avi fam nam le gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Na lã mí’
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they trouble me with their weeping, saying: Give us flesh, that we may eat.
14 Nye ɖeka nyemate ŋu atsɔ dukɔ sia ƒe nyawo o. Agba la kpe nam akpa!
I am not able to bear all this people myself alone, because it is too heavy for me.
15 Nenye aleae nàwɔm la, ekema meɖe kuku, wum fifi laa, eye wòanye nunyee nève boŋ! Ɖem tso nye xaxa dziŋɔ sia me!”
And if Thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray Thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in Thy sight; and let me not look upon my wretchedness.'
16 Tete Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Na Israelviwo ƒe ametsitsi blaadre naƒo ƒu ɖe nye ŋkume. Kplɔ wo va agbadɔ la me, eye woatsi tsitre ɖe afi ma kpli wò.
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Gather unto Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tent of meeting, that they may stand there with thee.
17 Maɖi ava ƒo nu kpli wò le afi ma. Maɖe Gbɔgbɔ si le dziwò la ƒe ɖe le dziwò ada ɖe woawo hã dzi. Woatsɔ dukɔ la ƒe agba akpe ɖe ŋuwò ale be dɔdeasi la maganɔ wò ɖeka ko dzi o.
And I will come down and speak with thee there; and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
18 “Gblɔ na ameawo be woakɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋuti, elabena woakpɔ lã aɖu etsɔ. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Yehowa se miaƒe liʋĩliʋĩlilĩwo tso nu siwo katã miegblẽ ɖe megbe le Egipte la ŋu, eye wòle lã na ge mi.
And say thou unto the people: Sanctify yourselves against to-morrow, and ye shall eat flesh; for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying: Would that we were given flesh to eat! for it was well with us in Egypt; therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
19 Miaɖui ŋkeke ɖeka, alo ŋkeke eve, atɔ̃, ewo alo blaeve ko o,
Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
20 ke ɣleti blibo ɖeka, va se ɖe esime wòado to ŋɔtime na mi, eye wòati mi, elabena miegbe Yehowa, ame si le mia dome, eye miefa avi le eŋkume gblɔ be, “Nu ka ta koŋ míedzo le Egipte ɖo?”’”
but a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you; because that ye have rejected the LORD who is among you, and have troubled Him with weeping, saying: Why, now, came we forth out of Egypt?'
21 Mose gblɔ be, “Ŋutsuawo ɖeɖe de akpe alafa ade, nyɔnuwo kple ɖeviwo mele eme o; le esime nèdo ŋugbe be yeana lã wo ɣleti blibo ɖeka!
And Moses said: 'The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and yet Thou hast said: I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month!
22 Ne míawu míaƒe lãwo katã hã la, made wo nu o! Ele be míaɖe tɔmelã ɖe sia ɖe tso atsiaƒu me hafi nàte ŋu awɔ wò ŋugbedodo dzi!”
If flocks and herds be slain for them, will they suffice them? or if all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, will they suffice them?'
23 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Ɣe ka ɣie ŋusẽ vɔ le ŋunye? Azɔ la, miakpɔe ne nye nya nye nyateƒe loo alo alakpa!”
And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Is the LORD'S hand waxed short? now shalt thou see whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not.'
24 Mose dzo le agbadɔ la me, eye wògblɔ Yehowa ƒe nyawo na ameawo. Eƒo ƒu ametsitsi blaadreawo nu, eye wòna woƒo xlã agbadɔ la.
And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD; and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the Tent.
25 Yehowa ɖiɖi le lilikpo la me, ƒo nu kple Mose, eye woɖe gbɔgbɔ si nɔ Mose dzi la ƒe akpa aɖe da ɖe ametsitsi blaadreawo dzi. Esi gbɔgbɔ la ɖiɖi ɖe wo dzi la, wogblɔ nya ɖi ɣeyiɣi aɖe.
And the LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy elders; and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, but they did so no more.
26 Ke ametsitsi blaadreawo dometɔ eve, Eldad kple Medad, ganɔ asaɖa la me ko, eye esi gbɔgbɔ la dze ɖe wo dzi la, wogblɔ nya ɖi le afi ma.
But there remained two men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad; and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were recorded, but had not gone out unto the Tent; and they prophesied in the camp.
27 Ɖekakpui aɖewo ƒu du yi ɖagblɔ nya si dzɔ la na Mose.
And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said: 'Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.'
28 Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu, ame si Mose ŋutɔ tia be wòanye yeƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ la gblɔ be, “Amegã, na woadzudzɔ!”
And Joshua the son of Nun, the minister of Moses from his youth up, answered and said: 'My lord Moses, shut them in.'
29 Ke Mose ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe nèle ŋu ʋãm ɖe nunyea? Ɖe boŋ madi be Yehowa ƒe amewo katã nazu nyagblɔɖilawo, eye Yehowa nada eƒe gbɔgbɔ ɖe wo katã dzi hafi!”
And Moses said unto him: 'Art thou jealous for my sake? would that all the LORD'S people were prophets, that the LORD would put His spirit upon them!'
30 Emegbe la, Mose kple Israelviwo ƒe ametsitsiawo trɔ yi asaɖa la me.
And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
31 Azɔ ya sesẽ aɖe ƒo tso Yehowa gbɔ, eye wòkplɔ tegliwo vɛ tso atsiaƒu dzi. Ena wodze ɖe anyigba ƒo xlã asaɖa la katã. Woli kɔ ɖe wo nɔewo dzi, anɔ abe mita ɖeka ene tso anyigba, eye woƒe kekeme tso asaɖa la gbɔ anye ŋkeke ɖeka ƒe azɔli.
And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought across quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, about a day's journey on this side, and a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the earth.
32 Ŋkeke kple zã blibo la kpakple ŋkeke si kplɔe ɖo la, ameawo do go yi ɖalé tegliawo, eye ame aɖeke melé tegliawo wòle sue wu kilo eve kple afã o. Wosia wo ƒo xlã asaɖa blibo la kpe ɖo.
And the people rose up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and gathered the quails; he that gathered least gathered ten heaps; and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
33 Esi ame sia ame de asi lã la ɖuɖu me la, Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe ameawo ŋu, eye wòtsɔ dɔvɔ̃ wu ame geɖewo.
While the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
34 Eya ta wotsɔ ŋkɔ na teƒe la be Kibrot Hatava, elabena afi mae woɖi ame siwo dzro nuɖuɖu bubu la ɖo.
And the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people that lusted.
35 Tso Kibrot Hatava la, ameha la zɔ mɔ yi Hazerot, eye wonɔ afi ma.
From Kibroth-hattaavah the people journeyed unto Hazeroth; and they abode at Hazeroth.
