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 are evil, as those sighing habitually in the ears of YHWH, and YHWH hears, and His anger burns, and the fire of YHWH burns among them, and consumes in the extremity 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 cry to Moses, and Moses prays to YHWH, and the fire is quenched;
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 he calls the name of that place Taberah, for the fire of YHWH has “burned” 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 rabble who [are] in its midst have lusted greatly, and the sons of Israel also turn back and weep, and say, “Who gives us flesh?
5 Míeɖo ŋku tɔmelã siwo míeɖu le Egipte femaxee kple dzamatre, aɖiba, agumetaku, sabala kple ayo dzi.
We have remembered the fish which we eat in Egypt for nothing, 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!”
and now our soul [is] dry, there is not anything, except the manna, before our eyes.”
7 Mana la le ɣie abe bliku ene gake ele gbadzɛe, eye wòvivina abe anyitsibolo ene.
And the manna is as coriander seed, and its aspect as the aspect 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 have turned aside and gathered [it], and ground [it] with millstones, or beat [it] in a mortar, and boiled [it] in a pan, and made it cakes, and its taste has been as the taste of the moisture of oil.
9 Mana gena kple zãmu ƒe dzadza le zã me.
And in the descending of the dew on the camp by night, the manna descends on 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 hears the people weeping by its families, each at the opening of his tent, and the anger of YHWH burns exceedingly, and in the eyes of Moses [it is] evil.
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 says to YHWH, “Why have You done evil to Your servant? And why have I not found grace in Your eyes—to put the burden of all this people on 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?
I—have I conceived all this people? I—have I begotten it, that You say to me, Carry it in your bosom, as the one supporting carries the nursing suckling, to the ground which You have sworn to its fathers?
13 Afi ka makpɔ lã tsoe ana ame siawo katã? Wole avi fam nam le gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Na lã mí’
From where do I have flesh to give to all this people? For they weep to me, saying, Give flesh to us, and we eat.
14 Nye ɖeka nyemate ŋu atsɔ dukɔ sia ƒe nyawo o. Agba la kpe nam akpa!
I am not able—I alone—to bear all this people, for [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 thus You are doing to me—please slay me; slay, if I have found grace in your eyes, and do not let me look on my affliction.”
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 YHWH says to Moses, “Gather to Me seventy men from [the] elderly of Israel, whom you have known that they are [the] elderly of the people, and its authorities; and you have taken them to the Tent of Meeting, and they have stationed themselves there with you,
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 have come down and spoken with you there, and have kept back of the Spirit which [is] on you, and have put [that One] on them, and they have borne some of the burden of the people with you, and you do not bear [it] 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 you say to the people: Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, and you have eaten flesh, for you have wept in the ears of YHWH, saying, Who gives us flesh? For we [had] good in Egypt; and YHWH has given flesh to you, and you have eaten.
19 Miaɖui ŋkeke ɖeka, alo ŋkeke eve, atɔ̃, ewo alo blaeve ko o,
You do not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor 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] even to a month of days, until it comes out from your nostrils, and it has become an abomination to you, because that you have loathed YHWH, who [is] in your midst, and weep before Him, saying, Why is this [that] we have come 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 says, “Six hundred thousand footmen [are] the people in whose midst I [dwell]; and You, You have said, I give flesh to them, and they have eaten [for] a month of days!
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!”
Is flock and herd slaughtered for them, that one has found [enough] for them? Are all the fishes of the sea gathered for them, that one has found [enough] for 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 YHWH says to Moses, “Has the hand of YHWH become short? Now you see whether My word meets you 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 goes out, and speaks the words of YHWH to the people, and gathers seventy men from [the] elderly of the people, and causes them to stand around 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 YHWH comes down in the cloud, and speaks to him, and keeps back of the Spirit which [is] on him, and puts [that One] on the seventy elderly men; and it comes to pass at the resting of the Spirit on them, that they prophesy, and they have never done [so] again.
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.
And two of the men are left in the camp, the name of the first [is] Eldad and the name of the second Medad, and the spirit rests on them (and they are among those written, but they have not gone out to the tent), and they prophesy in the camp;
27 Ɖekakpui aɖewo ƒu du yi ɖagblɔ nya si dzɔ la na Mose.
and the young man runs, and declares [it] to Moses, and says, “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 son of Nun, minister of Moses, [one] of his young men, answers and says, “My lord Moses, restrain them.”
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 says to him, “Are you zealous for me? O that all YHWH’s people were prophets! That YHWH would put His Spirit on them!”
30 Emegbe la, Mose kple Israelviwo ƒe ametsitsiawo trɔ yi asaɖa la me.
And Moses is gathered to the camp, he and [the] elderly 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 a spirit has journeyed from YHWH, and cuts off quails from the sea, and leaves [them] by the camp, as a day’s journey here and as a day’s journey there, around the camp, and about two cubits above the face of the land.
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 rise all that day, and all the night, and all the day after, and gather the quails—he who has least has gathered ten homers—and they spread them out for themselves around 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.
The flesh is yet between their teeth—it is not yet cut off—and the anger of YHWH has burned among the people, and YHWH strikes [with] a very great striking among the people;
34 Eya ta wotsɔ ŋkɔ na teƒe la be Kibrot Hatava, elabena afi mae woɖi ame siwo dzro nuɖuɖu bubu la ɖo.
and [one] calls the name of that place Kibroth-Hattaavah, for there they have buried the people who lust.
35 Tso Kibrot Hatava la, ameha la zɔ mɔ yi Hazerot, eye wonɔ afi ma.
From Kibroth-Hattaavah the people have journeyed to Hazeroth, and they are in Hazeroth.
