Numbers 12
1 Then Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a Cushite wife.
Miriamu ndi Aaroni anayamba kuyankhula motsutsana ndi Mose chifukwa cha mkazi wa ku Kusi, popeza Moseyo anakwatira Mkusi.
2 “Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.
Iwowo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Yehova anayankhula kudzera mwa Mose yekha? Kodi sanayankhule kudzeranso mwa ife?” Ndipo Yehova anamva zimenezi.
3 Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.
(Koma Mose anali munthu wodzichepetsa kwambiri kuposa munthu aliyense pa dziko lapansi).
4 And suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three went out,
Nthawi yomweyo Yehova anati kwa Mose, Aaroni ndi Miriamu, “Bwerani ku tenti ya msonkhano nonse atatu.” Ndipo atatuwo anapitadi kumeneko.
5 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,
Tsono Yehova anatsika mu mtambo, nayima pa khomo la chihema. Kenaka anayitana Aaroni ndi Miriamu. Ndipo onse awiri atapita patsogolo,
6 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.
Mulungu anati, “Mverani mawu anga: “Pakakhala mneneri wa Yehova pakati panu, ndimadzionetsera kwa iyeyo mʼmasomphenya, ndimayankhula naye mʼmaloto.
7 But this is not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.
Koma sinditero ndi Mose mtumiki wanga; Iyeyu ndi wokhulupirika mʼnyumba yanga yonse.
8 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?”
Ndimayankhula naye maso ndi maso, momveka bwino osati mophiphiritsa; ndipo amaona maonekedwe a Yehova. Nʼchifukwa chiyani simunaope kuyankhula motsutsana ndi Mose mtumiki wanga?”
9 So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.
Ndipo Yehova anawakwiyira, nachoka.
10 As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous,
Pamene mtambo unachoka pamwamba pa Chihema, taonani, Miriamu anagwidwa ndi khate. Aaroni atachewuka anaona Miriamu ali ndi khate;
11 and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.
ndipo Aaroni anawuza Mose kuti, “Pepani mbuye wanga, musatilange chifukwa cha tchimo limene tachita mopusa.
12 Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
Musalole kuti Miriamu akhale ngati mwana wobadwa wakufa kuchoka mʼmimba mwa amayi ake, thupi lake litawonongeka.”
13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”
Tsono Mose anafuwulira Yehova kuti, “Chonde Inu Mulungu, muchiritseni!”
14 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.”
Yehova anayankha Mose kuti, “Abambo ake akanamulavulira malovu mʼmaso, kodi sakanakhala wonyozeka masiku asanu ndi awiri? Mutsekereni kunja kwa msasa masiku asanu ndi awiri, kenaka mumulowetsenso.”
15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought in again.
Choncho anamutsekera Miriamu kunja kwa msasa masiku asanu ndi awiri ndipo anthu sanayende ulendo wawo mpaka Miriamu atamulowetsanso.
16 After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
Pambuyo pake anthu ananyamuka ku Heziroti ndi kukamanga mʼchipululu cha Parani.
