< Numbers 12 >

1 And Mary and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife the Ethiopian,
Miriam na Erọn malitere ikwu okwu megide Mosis, nʼihi na ọ lụrụ nwunye onye Kush.
2 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,
Ha kwuru sị, “Ọ bụ naanị site nʼọnụ Mosis ka Onyenwe anyị si agwa ndị ya okwu? Ọ naghị esitekwa nʼọnụ anyị kwuo okwu?” Onyenwe anyị nụrụ ihe ndị a ha kwuru.
3 (For Moses was a man exceeding meek above all men that dwelt upon earth)
(Ma nwoke ahụ bụ Mosis dị umeala nʼobi nke ukwuu karịa onye ọbụla nọ nʼelu ala.)
4 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,
Na mberede, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, na Erọn, na Miriam, “Pụtanụ, bịa nʼụlọ nzute, unu mmadụ atọ” Ya mere ha atọ pụtara.
5 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,
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị rịdatara nʼime igwe ojii, guzoro na mbata ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ, kpọpụta Erọn na Miriam. Mgbe ha abụọ bịara nso.
6 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.
Onyenwe anyị gwara ha sị, “Geenụ ntị nʼokwu m ndị a: “Mgbe onye amụma nọ nʼetiti unu, Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị na-egosi ya onwe m site nʼọhụ. Ana m agwa ya okwu site na nrọ.
7 But it is not so with my servant Moses a who is most faithful in all my house:
Ma nʼebe ohu m Mosis nọ, o sighị otu a dịrị, ọ bụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼụlọ m niile.
8 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?
Nʼebe ọ nọ, ana m agwa ya okwu ihu na ihu nʼụzọ doro anya, ọ bụghị site nʼilu, ọ na-ahụkwa ụdịdị Onyenwe anyị. Gịnị mere ụjọ atụghị unu ikwu okwu megide ohu m Mosis?”
9 And being angry with them he went away:
Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide ha. O si nʼebe ha nọ pụọ.
10 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,
Ma mgbe igwe ojii ahụ hapụrụ ụlọ nzute ahụ, lee Miriam ebe o guzo, ekpenta tiwapụtara ya nʼahụ dịka nzu ọcha. Mgbe Erọn tụgharịrị ebe ọ nọ hụ na ọ ghọọla onye ekpenta,
11 He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed:
ọ gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Biko, onyenwe m, atala anyị ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie anyị sitere na nzuzu mee.
12 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.
Ekwela ka Miriam dịrị ka nwa ọhụrụ nwụrụ anwụ nke akpụkpọ ahụ ya rere ure nʼoge o si nʼakpanwa nne ya na-apụta.”
13 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: O God, I beseech thee heal her.
Ya mere Mosis tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa sị ya, “Chineke, biko, gwọọ ya!”
14 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.
Ma Onyenwe anyị zara Mosis sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na nna ya gbụrụ ya asụ nʼihu, ọ gaghị abụ onye rụrụ arụ abalị asaa? Ya mere, hapụ ya ka ọ bụrụ onye e sitere nʼogige ọmụma ụlọ ikwu Izrel wezuga abalị asaa. Mgbe oge a gafesịrị, o nwere ike ịlọghachi.”
15 Mary therefore was put out of the camp seven days: and the people moved not from that place until Mary was called again.
Ya mere e wezugara Miriam site nʼogige ọmụma ụlọ ikwu Izrel abalị asaa. Ndị Izrel niile nọdụrụ chere ya ruo mgbe ọ lọghachiri, tutu ha ebilie nʼije ọzọ.
16 And the people marched from Haseroth, and pitched their tents in the desert of Pharan.
Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ha hapụrụ Hazerọt rute nʼọzara Paran ebe ha wuru ogige ụlọ ikwu ha.
