4 Mose 12

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

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

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.

And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it].

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

(Now the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men which [were] upon 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 the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came 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 the pillar of the cloud, and stood [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

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.

And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream.

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

My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all mine 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?”

With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

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

And the anger of the LORD was kindled 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,

And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam [became] leprous, [white] as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, [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 Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

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

Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.

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

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.

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.”

And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in [again].

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.

And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].

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

And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
