4 Mose 12

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

And Miriam speaketh — Aaron also — against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken: for a Cushite woman he had taken;

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 say, 'Only by Moses hath Jehovah spoken? also by us hath he not spoken?' and Jehovah heareth.

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

And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the men who [are] on the face of the ground.

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 Jehovah saith suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, 'Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting;' and they three come 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 Jehovah cometh down in the pillar of the cloud, and standeth at the opening of the tent, and calleth Aaron and Miriam, and they come out both of them.

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 saith, 'Hear, I pray you, My words: If your prophet is of Jehovah — in an appearance unto him I make Myself known; in a dream I speak with him;

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

not so My servant Moses; in all My house he [is] stedfast;

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?”

mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant — against Moses?'

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

And the anger of Jehovah burneth against them, and He goeth on,

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 hath turned aside from off the tent, and lo, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turneth unto Miriam, and lo, leprous!

11 ɔteaam sɛ, “Ao, Owura, nnyina saa bɔne yi so nntwe yɛn aso; yɛyɛ nkwaseafoɔ sɛ yɛyɛɛ adeɛ a ɛte saa.

And Aaron saith unto Moses, 'O, my lord, I pray thee, lay not upon us sin [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned;

12 Mma no nyɛ sɛ owufoɔ a ne fa aporɔ firi nʼawoɔ mu.”

let her not, I pray thee, be as [one] dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his mother — the half of his flesh is consumed.'

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

And Moses crieth unto Jehovah, saying, 'O God, I pray Thee, give, I pray Thee, healing to her.'

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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'And her father had but spat in her face — is she not ashamed seven days? she is shut out seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterwards she is gathered.'

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 is shut out at the outside of the camp seven days, and the people hath not journeyed till Miriam is gathered;

16 Ɛno akyi, wɔfirii Haserot bɛbɔɔ atenaeɛ wɔ Paran ɛserɛ so.

and afterwards have the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
