< Numbers 12 >

1 Miriam and Aaron were critical of Moses because of his Ethiopian wife—he'd married an Ethiopian woman.
Miiriyaamii fi Aroon sababii Museen dubartii Itoophiyaa fuudheef isaan mormuudhaan dubbachuu jalqaban; inni dubartii Itoophiyaa fuudhee tureetii.
2 “Is it only through Moses that the Lord speaks?” they asked. “Doesn't he speak through us too?” The Lord heard all this.
Isaanis, “Waaqayyo karaa Musee qofaan dubbatee? Inni karaa keenyaanis dubbatee ture mitii?” jedhan. Waaqayyos dubbii kana dhagaʼe.
3 Moses was a very humble man, more than anyone else on earth.
Museen namoota lafa irra jiraatan hunda caalaa nama akka malee gad of qabu ture.
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.
Waaqayyos yommusuma Museen, Aroonii fi Miiriyaamiin, “Isin sadanuu gara dunkaana wal gaʼiitti gad baʼaa” jedhe. Isaan sadanuus gad baʼan.
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.
Ergasii Waaqayyo utubaa duumessaa keessaan gad buʼee balbala dunkaanaa irra dhaabatee Aroonii fi Miiriyaamin waame. Jarri lachuu isatti dhiʼaannaan,
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.
inni akkana jedheen; “Dubbii koo dhagaʼaa: “Yoo raajiin Waaqayyoo gidduu keessan jiraate, ani mulʼata keessa isatti of nan mulʼisa; abjuudhaanis isatti nan dubbadha.
7 But it's not like this with my servant Moses, who of all my people is the one who is faithful.
Garuu garbichi koo Museen akkana miti; inni mana koo hunda keessatti amanamaa dha.
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?”
Ani utuu dhoksaadhaan hin taʼin, ifaan ifatti isatti nan dubbadha; inni bifa Waaqayyoo ni arga. Yoos isin maaliif garbicha koo Museedhaan mormuudhaan dubbachuu hin sodaanne ree?”
9 The Lord was angry with them, and he left.
Aariin Waaqayyos isaan irratti bobaʼe; innis isaan dhiisee deeme.
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.
Yommuu duumessi sun dunkaana gubbaadhaa ol kaʼetti kunoo, Miiriyaam lamxooftee akkuma cabbii addaattee turte. Aroonis gara isheetti garagalee akka isheen lamxii qabdu arge;
11 He said to Moses, “My lord, please don't punish us for this sin that we've so stupidly committed.
innis Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Maaloo yaa gooftaa ko, cubbuu nu gowwummaadhaan hojjenne sana nutti hin lakkaaʼin.
12 Please don't let her become like a stillborn baby whose flesh is already decaying when they're born!”
Akka gatata foon isaa gariin nyaatamee gadameessa haadha isaa keessaa baʼu tokkoo ishee hin godhin.”
13 Moses called out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!”
Museen Waaqayyotti booʼee, “Yaa Waaqayyo, maaloo ishee fayyisi!” jedhe.
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.”
Waaqayyo akkana jedhee Museedhaaf deebii kenne; “Utuu abbaan ishee fuula isheetti tufee silaa isheen bultii torba salphina keessa turti mitii ree? Isheen bultii torba qubataan ala haa turtu; ergasii deebitee dhufuu dandeessi.”
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.
Miiriyaam bultii torba qubataan ala turte; sabni sunis hamma isheen deebitutti deemsa itti hin fufne.
16 Then the people left Hazeroth and set up camp in the Desert of Paran.
Ergasii sabni sun Haxerootii kaʼee Gammoojjii Phaaraan keessa qubate.
