< 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.
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite 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.
They said, “Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn’t he spoken also with us?” And Yahweh heard it.
3 (Azɔ la, Mose nye ame si bɔbɔ eɖokui wu ame bubu ɖe sia ɖe le anyigba dzi.)
Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface 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.
Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came 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.
Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.
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, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, Yahweh, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.
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?”
With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see Yahweh’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
9 Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe wo ŋu vevie, eye wotrɔ dzo.
Yahweh’s anger burned against 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.
The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at 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.
Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which 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, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
13 Mose ƒo koko na Yehowa kple ɣli be, “Da gbe le eŋu, O! Mawu, meɖe kuku na wò!”
Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”
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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn’t she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.”
15 Ale woɖe Miriam ɖa le asaɖa la me ŋkeke adre. Ameawo lala, wogakplɔe gbɔe hafi wogayi mɔzɔzɔ la dzi.
Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in again.
16 Le esia megbe la, wodzo le Hazerot, eye woƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Paran gbedzi.
Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
