Kwan 12

1 Miriam kod Harun nochako wuoyo marach kuom Musa nikech jaode ma nyar jo-Kush, nimar ne onywomo nyar Kush.

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

2 Negipenjore niya, “Bende Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo kokalo kuom Musa kende? Donge osewuoyo kokalo kuomwa bende?” Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowinjo ma.

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

3 (Musa ne en ngʼama obolore, ngʼat mobolore moloyo ngʼato angʼata manie wangʼ piny.)

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

4 Gikanyono Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ne Musa, Harun kod Miriam niya, “Wuoguru oko e Hemb Romo karu ji adekgo.” Omiyo giduto ne giwuok oko.

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 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nolor e bor polo; mochungʼ e dho Hemb Romo kendo noluongo Harun gi Miriam. Kane gibiro kargi ji ariyogo,

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 nowachonegi niya, “Winjuru wechena: “Ka janabi mar Jehova Nyasaye nitie e dieru, to abiro afwenyorane, kendo awuoyo kode e lek.

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 To ma ok en adiera kuom jatichna Musa; nikech en ja-ratiro e oda duto.

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

8 En awuoyo kode wangʼ gi wangʼ, awuoyo kode maler ma ok gi ngeche; kendo oneno tich Jehova Nyasaye. Angʼo momiyo ne ok uluor ka uwuoyo kuom jatichna Musa?”

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 Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye nomedore kuomgi, kendo no-aa oweyogi.

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

10 Kane bor polo owalore oa ewi Hemb Romo, Miriam noa malo ka dende obawore gi dhoho mobedo marachar ka pe. Harun nolokore mongʼiye kendo noneno ka en-gi dhoho,

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 kendo nowacho ne Musa niya, “Yaye, ruodha, kik iwe wachul gowi mar richo kata obedo ni wasetimo gima ofuwoni.

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

12 Kik iweye ochal gi nyathi mobwogi ma aa ei min-gi ka en-gi ringruok mokethore.”

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 Omiyo Musa noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Nyasaye, yie ichange!”

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

14 Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko Musa niya, “Ka wuon-gi ne nyalo ngʼudho olawo e wangʼe, donge dine obedo gi wichkuot kuom ndalo abiriyo? Wale obed tenge kuom ndalo abiriyo; bangʼ mano inyalo duoge e kambi.”

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 Omiyo Miriam nobedo oko mar kambi kuom ndalo abiriyo, kendo ji nochungʼ kar tiendgi nyaka ne odwogo.

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

16 Bangʼ mano, ji nowuok Hazeroth kendo negigoyo kambi e Thim mar Paran.

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