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 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, on account of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for an Ethiopian woman had he married.

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 then only with Moses the Lord spoken? hath he not also spoken with us? And the Lord heard it.

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

(But the man Moses was very meek, more so than any man who was upon the face of 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 suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Go out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation; and these three went 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.

And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.

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, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet of your kind, I, the Lord, do make myself known unto him in a vision, in a dream do I speak with him.

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

Not so is my servant Moses, in all my house is he faithful.

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?”

Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord doth he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

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

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and 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.

And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, 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.

Then said Aaron unto Moses, Alas, my Lord, do not, I beseech thee, account to us as sin that wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have 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 a dead-born child, of which half the flesh is consumed, when it cometh out of its mother's womb.

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

And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, O God! do thou heal her, I beseech thee.

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 unto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up seven days outside of the camp, and after that let her be brought in again.

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

And Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days; and the people did not set forward till Miriam was brought in again.

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

And afterward the people removed from Chazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
