Kwan 12
1 Miriam kod Harun nochako wuoyo marach kuom Musa nikech jaode ma nyar jo-Kush, nimar ne onywomo nyar Kush.
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, on account of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for an Ethiopian woman had he married.
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 then only with Moses the Lord spoken? hath he not also spoken with us? And the Lord heard it.
3 (Musa ne en ngʼama obolore, ngʼat mobolore moloyo ngʼato angʼata manie wangʼ piny.)
(But the man Moses was very meek, more so than any man who was upon 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 the Lord said suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Go out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation; and these 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, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.
6 nowachonegi niya, “Winjuru wechena: “Ka janabi mar Jehova Nyasaye nitie e dieru, to abiro afwenyorane, kendo awuoyo kode e lek.
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet of your kind, I, the Lord, do make myself known unto him in a vision, in a dream do I speak with him.
7 To ma ok en adiera kuom jatichna Musa; nikech en ja-ratiro e oda duto.
Not so is my servant Moses, in all my house is he faithful.
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?”
Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord doth he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
9 Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye nomedore kuomgi, kendo no-aa oweyogi.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and 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,
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 kendo nowacho ne Musa niya, “Yaye, ruodha, kik iwe wachul gowi mar richo kata obedo ni wasetimo gima ofuwoni.
Then said Aaron unto Moses, Alas, my Lord, do not, I beseech thee, account to us as sin that wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Kik iweye ochal gi nyathi mobwogi ma aa ei min-gi ka en-gi ringruok mokethore.”
Let her not be as a dead-born child, of which half the flesh is consumed, when it cometh out of its mother's womb.
13 Omiyo Musa noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Yaye Nyasaye, yie ichange!”
And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, O God! do thou heal her, I beseech thee.
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 said unto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up seven days outside of the camp, and after that let her be brought in again.
15 Omiyo Miriam nobedo oko mar kambi kuom ndalo abiriyo, kendo ji nochungʼ kar tiendgi nyaka ne odwogo.
And Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days; and the people did not set forward till Miriam was brought in again.
16 Bangʼ mano, ji nowuok Hazeroth kendo negigoyo kambi e Thim mar Paran.
And afterward the people removed from Chazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
