< Numbers 12 >

1 Then Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a Cushite wife.
Nao Miriamu na Harũni magĩtetia Musa, nĩ ũndũ wa mũtumia wake Mũkushi, nĩgũkorwo Musa nĩ ahikĩtie Mũkushi.
2 “Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.
Ningĩ nao mooragia atĩrĩ, “Anga Jehova angĩaria o na Musa wiki? Githĩ o na ithuĩ to atwarĩrie?” Nake Jehova akĩigua ndeto icio.
3 Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.
(Na rĩrĩ, Musa aarĩ mũndũ mwĩnyiihia mũno, mwĩnyiihia gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe gũkũ thĩ).
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,
O rĩmwe Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni na Miriamu atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ atatũ umai mũũke Hema-inĩ ĩyo-ya-Gũtũnganwo.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio othe atatũ makiuma magĩthiĩ ho.
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,
Ningĩ Jehova agĩikũrũka arĩ thĩinĩ wa gĩtugĩ gĩa itu, akĩrũgama itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema ĩyo, na agĩĩta Harũni na Miriamu. Na eerĩ magĩthiathia harĩ we,
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.
nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩriai ciugo ciakwa: “Rĩrĩa mũnabii wa Jehova arĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu-rĩ, niĩ nĩndĩĩmwĩguũragĩria na cioneki, na ngamwarĩria na irooto.
7 But this is not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.
No ha ũhoro wa Musa ndungata yakwa ndiĩkaga ũguo; we nĩ mwĩhokeku thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa yothe.
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?”
Musa-rĩ, twaranagĩria nake ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ, tũkaaranĩria ũhoro mũtaũku, na ndimwaragĩria na thimo; na nĩwe wonaga ũrĩa Jehova atariĩ. Nĩ kĩĩ kĩgiririe mwĩtigĩre gũtetia Musa ndungata yakwa?”
9 So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.
Nake Jehova agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wao, agĩthiĩ akĩmatiga.
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,
Rĩrĩa itu rĩu rĩeherire igũrũ rĩa Hema ĩyo, Miriamu agĩkorwo aarũgamĩte o ro hau, arĩ na mangũ, akerũha o ta ira. Nake Harũni ehũgũra akĩona atĩ Miriamu aarĩ na mangũ;
11 and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.
nake akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha, mwathi wakwa, ndũgatũrũithĩrie wĩhia ũcio twĩkĩte na ũrimũ.
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.”
Ndũkareke ahaane ta kĩhuno kiumĩte nda ya nyina mwĩrĩ wakĩo ũbuthĩte mwena ũmwe.”
13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩkaĩra Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Ngai, ndagũthaitha, mũhonie!”
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.”
Nake Jehova agĩcookeria Musa, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Korwo ithe nĩamũtuĩrĩire mata ũthiũ-rĩ, githĩ ndangĩaikarire na thoni matukũ mũgwanja? Mũhingĩrĩriei na kũu nja ya kambĩ matukũ mũgwanja; na thuutha ũcio no acookio kambĩ.”
15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought in again.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Miriamu akĩhingĩrĩrio na kũu nja ya kambĩ ĩyo matukũ mũgwanja, nao andũ acio angĩ matiathiire na mbere na rũgendo nginya rĩrĩa Miriamu aacookirio kambĩ.
16 After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
Thuutha ũcio, andũ acio a Isiraeli makiuma Hazerothu magĩthiĩ makĩamba hema ciao Werũ-inĩ wa Parani.
