4 Mose 12

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

And Miriam and Aaron spoke 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 the LORD indeed spoke only by Moses? hath he not spoke also by us? And the LORD 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 who [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 the LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three to 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 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 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 is a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known to him in a vision, [and] will speak to 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 my 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 the LORD shall he behold: why 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 the LORD 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 to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which 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 at the time of his birth.

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

And Moses cried to the LORD, 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 the LORD said to 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 [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 encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
