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 is evil, as those sighing habitually in the ears of Jehovah, and Jehovah heareth, and His anger burneth, and the fire of Jehovah burneth among them, and consumeth 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 unto Moses, and Moses prayeth unto Jehovah, 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 calleth the name of that place Taberah, for the fire of Jehovah hath '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 doth give 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 do eat in Egypt for nought, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick;

6 Ke fifia la, míegakpɔa nu siawo o; mana ko míeɖuna gbe sia gbe!”

and now our soul [is] dry, there is not anything, save 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 bdolach;

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 hath 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 descendeth 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 heareth the people weeping by its families, each at the opening of his tent, and the anger of Jehovah burneth 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 saith unto Jehovah, 'Why hast Thou done evil to Thy servant? and why have I not found grace in Thine eyes — to put 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?

I — have I conceived all this people? I — have I begotten it, that Thou sayest unto me, Carry it in thy bosom as the nursing father beareth the suckling, unto the ground which Thou hast sworn to its fathers?

13 Afi ka makpɔ lã tsoe ana ame siawo katã? Wole avi fam nam le gbɔgblɔm be, ‘Na lã mí’

Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give to us flesh, 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 Thou art doing to me — slay me, I pray Thee; slay, if I have found grace in thine eyes, and let me not look on mine 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou hast known that they are elders of the people, and its authorities; and thou hast taken them unto the tent of meeting, and they have stationed themselves 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 have come down and spoken with thee there, and have kept back of the Spirit which [is] upon thee, and have put on them, and they have borne with thee some of the burden of the people, and thou dost not bear [it] 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 unto the people thou dost say, Sanctify yourselves for to-morrow, and ye have eaten flesh (for ye have wept in the ears of Jehovah, saying, Who doth give us flesh? for we [had] good in Egypt) — and Jehovah hath given to you flesh, and ye have eaten.

19 Miaɖui ŋkeke ɖeka, alo ŋkeke eve, atɔ̃, ewo alo blaeve ko o,

Ye 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?”’”

unto a month of days, till that it come out from your nostrils, and it hath become to you an abomination; because that ye have loathed Jehovah, who [is] in your midst, and weep before Him, saying, Why is this? — 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 saith, 'Six hundred thousand footmen [are] the people in whose midst I [am]; and Thou, Thou hast said, Flesh I give to them, and they have eaten, 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 hath found for them? — are all the fishes of the sea gathered for them — that one hath found 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Is the hand of Jehovah become short? now thou dost see whether My word meeteth 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 goeth out, and speaketh unto the people the words of Jehovah, and gathereth seventy men of the elders of the people, and causeth them to stand 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 Jehovah cometh down in the cloud, and speaketh unto him, and keepeth back of the Spirit which [is] on him, and putteth on the seventy men of the elders; and it cometh to pass at the resting of the Spirit on them, that they prophesy, and do not cease.

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 one [is] Eldad, and the name of the second Medad, and the spirit resteth upon them, (and they are among those written, and 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 runneth, and declareth to Moses, and saith, '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, answereth and saith, '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 saith to him, 'Art thou zealous for me? O that all Jehovah's people were prophets! that Jehovah would put His Spirit upon them!'

30 Emegbe la, Mose kple Israelviwo ƒe ametsitsiawo trɔ yi asaɖa la me.

And Moses is gathered unto 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 a spirit hath journeyed from Jehovah, and cutteth off quails from the sea, and leaveth by the camp, as a day's journey here, and as a day's journey there, round about the camp, and about two cubits, on 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 hath least hath gathered ten homers — and they spread them out 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.

The flesh is yet between their teeth — it is not yet cut off — and the anger of Jehovah hath burned among the people, and Jehovah smiteth among the people — a very great smiting;

34 Eya ta wotsɔ ŋkɔ na teƒe la be Kibrot Hatava, elabena afi mae woɖi ame siwo dzro nuɖuɖu bubu la ɖo.

and [one] calleth 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 have the people journeyed to Hazeroth, and they are in Hazeroth.
