< Kwan 12 >

1 Miriam kod Harun nochako wuoyo marach kuom Musa nikech jaode ma nyar jo-Kush, nimar ne onywomo nyar Kush.
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
2 Negipenjore niya, “Bende Jehova Nyasaye osewuoyo kokalo kuom Musa kende? Donge osewuoyo kokalo kuomwa bende?” Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowinjo ma.
They said, “Has Yahweh indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn’t he spoken also with us?” And Yahweh heard it.
3 (Musa ne en ngʼama obolore, ngʼat mobolore moloyo ngʼato angʼata manie wangʼ piny.)
Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface 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.
Yahweh spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.
5 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nolor e bor polo; mochungʼ e dho Hemb Romo kendo noluongo Harun gi Miriam. Kane gibiro kargi ji ariyogo,
Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.
6 nowachonegi niya, “Winjuru wechena: “Ka janabi mar Jehova Nyasaye nitie e dieru, to abiro afwenyorane, kendo awuoyo kode e lek.
He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, Yahweh, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.
7 To ma ok en adiera kuom jatichna Musa; nikech en ja-ratiro e oda duto.
My servant Moses is not so. 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?”
With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see Yahweh’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
9 Mirimb Jehova Nyasaye nomedore kuomgi, kendo no-aa oweyogi.
Yahweh’s anger 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,
The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at 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.
Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.
12 Kik iweye ochal gi nyathi mobwogi ma aa ei min-gi ka en-gi ringruok mokethore.”
Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the 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!”
Moses cried to Yahweh, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”
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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn’t she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.”
15 Omiyo Miriam nobedo oko mar kambi kuom ndalo abiriyo, kendo ji nochungʼ kar tiendgi nyaka ne odwogo.
Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in again.
16 Bangʼ mano, ji nowuok Hazeroth kendo negigoyo kambi e Thim mar Paran.
Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
