Mose 4 12

1 Gbe ɖeka la, Miriam kple Aron lĩ Mose ŋu le srɔ̃a, si nye Kus nyɔnu la ta, elabena eɖe Kus nyɔnu.

And Mariam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of the Ethiopian woman whom Moses took; for he had taken an Ethiopian woman.

2 Wogblɔ be, “Ɖe Yehowa ƒo nu to Mose ɖeɖe ko dzia? Ɖe meƒo nu to míawo hã dzi oa?” Ke Yehowa se nya sia.

And they said, Has the Lord spoken to Moses only? has he not also spoken to us? and the Lord heard it.

3 (Azɔ la, Mose nye ame si bɔbɔ eɖokui wu ame bubu ɖe sia ɖe le anyigba dzi.)

And the man Moses was very meek beyond all the men that were upon the earth.

4 Enumake Yehowa gblɔ na Mose, Aron kple Miriam be, “Miva agbadɔ la me, mi ame etɔ̃ la katã.” Ale wo ame etɔ̃awo katã wodo go.

And the Lord said immediately to Moses and Aaron and Mariam, Come forth all three of you to the tabernacle of witness.

5 Yehowa ɖiɖi tso lilikpo la me, eye wòtɔ ɖe agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Eɖe gbe na wo be, “Aron kple Miriam, mido va ŋgɔ,” eye wodo va ŋgɔ.

And the three came forth to the tabernacle of witness; and the Lord descended in a pillar of a cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and Mariam were called; and both came forth.

6 Yehowa gblɔ na wo be, “Miɖo to nye nyawo: “Ne Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila aɖe le mia dome la, meɖea ɖokuinye fianɛ le ŋutegawo me, eye meƒoa nu nɛ le drɔ̃ewo me.

And he said to them, Hear my words: If there should be of you a prophet to the Lord, I will be made known to him in a vision, and in sleep will I speak to him.

7 Ke esia menye nyateƒe le nye dɔla Mose gome o; ewɔa nuteƒe le nye aƒe blibo la me.

My servant Moses [is] not so; he is faithful in all my house.

8 Meƒoa nu kplii, ŋkume kple ŋkume. Meƒoa nu eme kɔna, eye menye le alobalowo me o; ekpɔa Yehowa ƒe dzedzeme. Ekema nu ka ta mievɔ̃ be yewoaƒo nu, atsi tsitre ɖe nye dɔla, Mose ŋu o ɖo?”

I will speak to him mouth to mouth apparently, and not in dark speeches; and he has seen the glory of the Lord; and why were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

9 Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe wo ŋu vevie, eye wotrɔ dzo.

And the great anger of the Lord [was] upon them, and he departed.

10 Esi lilikpo dodo la ho tso agbadɔ la tame la, anyidɔ ƒo ɖe Miriam ŋuti, eye eƒe ŋuti katã fu kpii abe ɖetifu ene. Aron nye kɔ kpɔe, eye kpɔ ɖa, Miriam dze anyi.

And the cloud departed from the tabernacle; and, behold, Mariam was leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron looked upon Mariam, and, behold, she [was] leprous.

11 Aron gblɔ na Mose be, “Nye aƒetɔ, meɖe kuku, mègana nu vɔ̃ si míewɔ tamemabumabutɔe la ƒe metsonu nava mía dzi o.

And Aaron said to Moses, I beseech you, my lord, do not lay sin upon us, for we were ignorant wherein we sinned.

12 Mègana Miriam nanɔ abe vidzĩ si ku ɖe dadaa ƒe dɔ me hafi wodzii, eye eƒe ŋutilã ƒe afã ƒaƒã hafi wòdo go la ene o.”

Let her not be as it were like death, as an abortion coming out of his mother's womb, when [the disease] devours the half of the flesh.

13 Mose ƒo koko na Yehowa kple ɣli be, “Da gbe le eŋu, O! Mawu, meɖe kuku na wò!”

And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, O God, I beseech you, heal her.

14 Yehowa ɖo eŋu na Mose be, “Ne fofoa nyɔ ta ɖe mo nɛ la, eŋuti makɔ o ŋkeke adre. Mina wòanɔ asaɖa la godo ŋkeke adre. Le ɣeyiɣi sia megbe la, agate ŋu ava asaɖa la me.”

And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had only spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be set apart seven days without the camp, and afterwards she shall come in.

15 Ale woɖe Miriam ɖa le asaɖa la me ŋkeke adre. Ameawo lala, wogakplɔe gbɔe hafi wogayi mɔzɔzɔ la dzi.

And Mariam was separated without the camp seven days; and the people moved not forward till Mariam was cleansed.

16 Le esia megbe la, wodzo le Hazerot, eye woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Paran gbedzi.

And afterwards the people set forth from Aseroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Pharan.
