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 Mary and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife the Ethiopian,

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: Hath the Lord spoken by Moses only? hath he not also spoken to us in like manner? And when the Lord heard this,

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

(For Moses was a man exceeding meek above all men that dwelt upon 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.

Immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Mary: Come out you three only to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when they were come out,

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.

The Lord came down in a pillar of the cloud, and stood in the entry of the tabernacle calling to Aaron and Mary. And when they were come,

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.

He said to them: Hear my words: if there be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him in a dream.

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

But it is not so with my servant Moses a who is most 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?”

For I speak to him mouth to mouth: and plainly, and not by riddles and figures doth he see the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak ill of my servant Moses?

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

And being angry with them he went away:

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.

The cloud also that was over the tabernacle departed: and behold Mary appeared white as snow with a leprosy. And when Aaron had looked on her, and saw her all covered with leprosy,

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

He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed:

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 one dead, and as an abortive that is cast forth from the mother’s womb. Lo, now one half of her flesh is consumed with the leprosy.

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 thee 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 answered him: If her father had spitten upon her face, ought she not to have been ashamed for seven days at least? Let her be separated seven days without the camp, and after wards she shall be called again.

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

Mary therefore was put out of the camp seven days: and the people moved not from that place until Mary was called again.

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

And the people marched from Haseroth, and pitched their tents in the desert of Pharan.
