Kwan 12
1 Miriam kod Harun nochako wuoyo marach kuom Musa nikech jaode ma nyar jo-Kush, nimar ne onywomo nyar Kush.
And Mary and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife the Ethiopian,
2 Negipenjore niya, “Bende Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo kokalo kuom Musa kende? Donge osewuoyo kokalo kuomwa bende?” Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowinjo ma.
And they said: Hath the Lord spoken by Moses only? hath he not also spoken to us in like manner? And when the Lord heard this,
3 (Musa ne en ngʼama obolore, ngʼat mobolore moloyo ngʼato angʼata manie wangʼ piny.)
(For Moses was a man exceeding meek above all men that dwelt upon 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.
Immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Mary: Come out you three only to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when they were come out,
5 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nolor e bor polo; mochungʼ e dho Hemb Romo kendo noluongo Harun gi Miriam. Kane gibiro kargi ji ariyogo,
The Lord came down in a pillar of the cloud, and stood in the entry of the tabernacle calling to Aaron and Mary. And when they were come,
6 nowachonegi niya, “Winjuru wechena: “Ka janabi mar Jehova Nyasaye nitie e dieru, to abiro afwenyorane, kendo awuoyo kode e lek.
He said to them: Hear my words: if there be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or 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 it is not so with my servant Moses a who is most 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?”
For I speak to him mouth to mouth: and plainly, and not by riddles and figures doth he see the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak ill of my servant Moses?
9 Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye nomedore kuomgi, kendo no-aa oweyogi.
And being angry with them he went away:
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,
The cloud also that was over the tabernacle departed: and behold Mary appeared white as snow with a leprosy. And when Aaron had looked on her, and saw her all covered with leprosy,
11 kendo nowacho ne Musa niya, “Yaye, ruodha, kik iwe wachul gowi mar richo kata obedo ni wasetimo gima ofuwoni.
He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed:
12 Kik iweye ochal gi nyathi mobwogi ma aa ei min-gi ka en-gi ringruok mokethore.”
Let her not be as one dead, and as an abortive that is cast forth from the mother’s womb. Lo, now one half of her flesh is consumed with the leprosy.
13 Omiyo Musa noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Nyasaye, yie ichange!”
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: O God, I beseech thee 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.”
And the Lord answered him: If her father had spitten upon her face, ought she not to have been ashamed for seven days at least? Let her be separated seven days without the camp, and after wards she shall be called again.
15 Omiyo Miriam nobedo oko mar kambi kuom ndalo abiriyo, kendo ji nochungʼ kar tiendgi nyaka ne odwogo.
Mary therefore was put out of the camp seven days: and the people moved not from that place until Mary was called again.
16 Bangʼ mano, ji nowuok Hazeroth kendo negigoyo kambi e Thim mar Paran.
And the people marched from Haseroth, and pitched their tents in the desert of Pharan.
