Numbers 12
1 Miriam and Aaron were critical of Moses because of his Ethiopian wife—he'd married an Ethiopian woman.
Nao Miriamu na Harũni magĩtetia Musa, nĩ ũndũ wa mũtumia wake Mũkushi, nĩgũkorwo Musa nĩ ahikĩtie Mũkushi.
2 “Is it only through Moses that the Lord speaks?” they asked. “Doesn't he speak through us too?” The Lord heard all this.
Ningĩ nao mooragia atĩrĩ, “Anga Jehova angĩaria o na Musa wiki? Githĩ o na ithuĩ to atwarĩrie?” Nake Jehova akĩigua ndeto icio.
3 Moses was a very humble man, more than anyone else on earth.
(Na rĩrĩ, Musa aarĩ mũndũ mwĩnyiihia mũno, mwĩnyiihia gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe gũkũ thĩ).
4 All of a sudden the Lord called for Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, telling them, “The three of you, come to the Tent of Meeting.” The three of them did so.
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 The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood in the entrance to the Tent. He called Aaron and Miriam and they came 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 “Now listen to my words, he told them. If you had prophets, I the Lord would reveal myself to them in visions; I would communicate with them in dreams.
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 it's not like this with my servant Moses, who of all my people is the one who is faithful.
No ha ũhoro wa Musa ndungata yakwa ndiĩkaga ũguo; we nĩ mwĩhokeku thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa yothe.
8 I talk to him personally, face to face. I speak plainly, not in riddles. He sees the likeness of the Lord. So why weren't you afraid when you criticized 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 The Lord was angry with them, and he left.
Nake Jehova agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wao, agĩthiĩ akĩmatiga.
10 As the cloud rose above the Tent, Miriam's skin suddenly turned white with leprosy. Aaron turned to look and saw that she had leprosy.
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 He said to Moses, “My lord, please don't punish us for this sin that we've so stupidly committed.
nake akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha, mwathi wakwa, ndũgatũrũithĩrie wĩhia ũcio twĩkĩte na ũrimũ.
12 Please don't let her become like a stillborn baby whose flesh is already decaying when they're born!”
Ndũkareke ahaane ta kĩhuno kiumĩte nda ya nyina mwĩrĩ wakĩo ũbuthĩte mwena ũmwe.”
13 Moses called out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩkaĩra Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Ngai, ndagũthaitha, mũhonie!”
14 But the Lord replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face wouldn't she have been disgraced for seven days? Keep her in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and then she can be taken 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 Miriam was kept in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was taken back in.
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 Then the people left Hazeroth and set up camp in the Desert of Paran.
Thuutha ũcio, andũ acio a Isiraeli makiuma Hazerothu magĩthiĩ makĩamba hema ciao Werũ-inĩ wa Parani.
