4 Mose 12

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

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

2 Afei, wɔkaa sɛ, “Mose nko ara na Awurade akasa afa ne so? Na yɛn nso ɔnnkasa mfa yɛn so bi anaa?” Na Awurade tee wɔn anwiinwii no.

And they said, hath Yhwh indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And Yhwh heard it.

3 Na Mose yɛ ɔhobrɛaseni sene 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, ɔfrɛɛ Mose, Aaron ne Miriam kɔɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu. Ɔhyɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mo baasa no mommra ha.” Enti wɔbɛgyinagyinaa Awurade anim.

And Yhwh 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 no mu siane ba bɛgyinaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano, na ɔfrɛɛ Aaron ne Miriam. Ɛberɛ a wɔtwe kɔɔ wɔn anim no,

And Yhwh 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 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Montie me, “Sɛ Awurade odiyifoɔ wɔ mo mu a, menam anisoadehunu so da me ho adi kyerɛ no, me kasa kyerɛ no daeɛ mu.

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

7 Nanso ɛnte saa wɔ me ɔsomfoɔ Mose ho. Me fie nyinaa mu, ɔyɛ ɔnokwafoɔ.

My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

8 Me ne no kasa animu ne animu, kasa a emu da hɔ na ɛnyɛ abɛbuo. Na ɔhunu Awurade sɛdeɛ ɔteɛ. Adɛn enti na moansuro sɛ mobɛkasa atia me ɔsomfoɔ Mose?”

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

9 Afei, Awurade bo fuu wɔn denden pa ara ɛnna ɔfirii hɔ kɔeɛ.

And the anger of Yhwh was kindled against them; and he departed.

10 Ɛberɛ a omununkum no refiri Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no atifi no, amonom hɔ ara, kwata bɛduruu Miriam ho fitaa. Aaron hunuu asɛm a asi 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 ɔteaam sɛ, “Ao, Owura, nnyina saa bɔne yi so nntwe yɛn aso; yɛyɛ nkwaseafoɔ sɛ yɛyɛɛ adeɛ a ɛte saa.

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 owufoɔ a ne fa aporɔ firi nʼawoɔ mu.”

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 teaam frɛɛ Awurade sɛ, “Ao, Onyankopɔn, mesrɛ wo sɛ sa no yadeɛ!”

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

14 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Sɛ nʼagya tee ntasuo guu nʼanim a, anka ne ho bɛgu fi nnanson. Monyi no mfiri atenaeɛ ha nkɔhyɛ baabi nnanson na akyire no, ɔbɛtumi aba bio.”

And Yhwh 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 wɔtwaa Miriam asuo firii atenaeɛ hɔ ma ɔkɔdii nnanson. Nnipa no twɛn kɔsii sɛ wɔsane de no baeɛ 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, wɔfirii Haserot bɛbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Paran ɛserɛ so.

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