4 Mose 12

1 Miriam ne Aaron kasa tiaa Mose sɛ ne yere yɛ Etiopiani.

Then Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a Cushite wife.

2 Wɔkae se, “Mose nko ara na Awurade akasa afa ne so ana? Na yɛn nso ɔnkasa mfa yɛn so bi ana?” Na Awurade tee wɔn anwiinwii no.

“Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.

3 Na Mose yɛ ɔhobrɛaseni sen obiara a ɔte asase yi so.

Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.

4 Ntɛm so, Awurade frɛɛ Mose, Aaron ne Miriam kɔɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu. Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn se, “Mo baasa no mommra Ahyiae Ntamadan mu ha.” Enti wobegyinagyinaa Awurade anim.

And suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three went out,

5 Afei, Awurade nam omununkum fadum mu sian ba begyinaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano, na ɔfrɛɛ Aaron ne Miriam. Bere a wotwiw kɔɔ wɔn anim no,

and the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had stepped forward,

6 ɔkae se, “Muntie me nsɛm: “Sɛ odiyifo wɔ mo mu a, Me, Awurade, menam anisoadehu so da me ho adi kyerɛ no, me kasa kyerɛ no wɔ dae mu.

He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.

7 Nanso ɛnte saa wɔ me somfo Mose ho. Me fi nyinaa mu no, ɔyɛ ɔnokwafo.

But this is not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.

8 Me ne no kasa anim ne anim, kasa a emu da hɔ na ɛnyɛ abisae mu. Na ohu Awurade sɛnea ɔte. Adɛn nti na moansuro sɛ mobɛkasa atia me somfo Mose?”

I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?”

9 Awurade bo fuw wɔn dennen pa ara na ofii hɔ kɔe.

So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.

10 Bere a omununkum no fii Ahyiae Ntamadan no atifi no, kwata beduruu Miriam ho fitaa sɛ sukyerɛmma. Aaron twaa nʼani huu sɛ ɔwɔ ɔhonam ani yare a ɛyɛ fi no,

As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous,

11 ɔka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo, nnyina saa bɔne a yɛnam nkwaseasɛm so adi yi so ntwe yɛn aso.

and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.

12 Mma no nyɛ sɛ akokoaa a wawu wɔ ne yam a ne fa aporɔw.”

Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”

13 Na Mose teɛɛ mu frɛɛ Awurade se, “Onyankopɔn, mesrɛ wo sɛ sa no yare!”

So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”

14 Awurade buaa Mose se, “Sɛ nʼagya tew ntasu guu nʼanim a, anka nʼanim rengu ase nnanson? Munyi no mfi atenae ha nkɔhyɛ baabi nnanson na akyiri no, obetumi asan aba.”

But the LORD answered Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”

15 Enti wotwaa Miriam asu fii atenae hɔ ma okodii nnanson. Nnipa no twɛn kosii sɛ wɔsan de no bae ansa na wɔretu kwan no bio.

So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought in again.

16 Ɛno akyi no, wofii Haserot bɛbɔɔ atenae wɔ Paran sare so.

After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
