Numbers 12
1 Afterward Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, because of the woman of Ethiopia whome hee had maried (for hee had married a woman of Ethiopia)
Miriamu na Aroni walianza kuzungumza dhidi ya Mose kwa sababu ya mke wake Mkushi, kwa kuwa alikuwa ameoa Mkushi.
2 And they saide, What? hath the Lord spoken but onely by Moses? hath he not spoken also by vs? and the Lord heard this.
Waliuliza, “Je, Bwana amesema kupitia Mose peke yake? Je, hajasema kutupitia sisi pia?” Naye Bwana akasikia hili.
3 (But Moses was a verie meeke man, aboue all the men that were vpon the earth)
(Basi Mose alikuwa mtu mnyenyekevu sana, mnyenyekevu kuliko mtu mwingine yeyote katika uso wa dunia.)
4 And by and by the Lord sayd vnto Moses, and vnto Aaron, and vnto Miriam, come out yee three vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and they three came forth.
Ghafula Bwana akawaambia Mose, Aroni na Miriamu, “Njooni katika Hema la Kukutania, ninyi nyote watatu.” Kwa hiyo wote watatu wakaenda.
5 Then the Lord came downe in the pillar of the cloude, and stoode in the doore of the Tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forth.
Kisha Bwana akashuka katika nguzo ya wingu, akasimama kwenye ingilio la Hema, akawaita Aroni na Miriamu. Wakati wote wawili waliposogea mbele,
6 And hee saide, Heare nowe my wordes, If there be a Prophet of the Lord among you, I will be knowen to him by a vision, and will speake vnto him by dreame.
Bwana akasema, “Sikilizeni maneno yangu: “Akiwapo nabii wa Bwana miongoni mwenu, nitajifunua kwake kwa maono, nitanena naye katika ndoto.
7 My seruant Moses is not so, who is faithfull in all mine house.
Lakini sivyo kwa mtumishi wangu Mose; yeye ni mwaminifu katika nyumba yangu yote.
8 Vnto him will I speake mouth to mouth, and by vision, and not in darke wordes, but hee shall see the similitude of the Lord. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speake against my seruant, euen against Moses?
Kwake nitanena naye uso kwa uso, waziwazi wala si kwa mafumbo; yeye ataona umbo la Bwana. Kwa nini basi ninyi hamkuogopa kuzungumza kinyume cha mtumishi wangu Mose?”
9 Thus the Lord was very angrie with them, and departed.
Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi yao, akawaacha.
10 Also the cloude departed from the Tabernacle: and beholde, Miriam was leprous like snowe: and Aaron looked vpon Miriam, and beholde, she was leprous.
Wakati hilo wingu liliinuka kutoka juu ya Hema, Miriamu akawa tayari ana ukoma, mweupe kama theluji. Aroni akamgeukia, akaona ana ukoma.
11 Then Aaron saide vnto Moses, Alas, my Lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sinne vpon vs, which we haue foolishly committed and wherein we haue sinned.
Kisha Aroni akamwambia Mose, “Tafadhali, bwana wangu, usituhesabie dhambi hii ambayo tumeifanya kwa upumbavu.
12 Let her not, I pray thee, be as one dead, of whome the flesh is halfe consumed, when he commeth out of his mothers wombe.
Usimwache awe kama mtoto mchanga aliyezaliwa akiwa mfu, ambaye nusu ya mwili wake imeharibika hapo atokapo katika tumbo la mama yake.”
13 Then Moses cryed vnto the Lord, saying, O God, I beseech thee, heale her nowe.
Hivyo Mose akamlilia Bwana akisema, “Ee Mungu, nakuomba umponye!”
14 And the Lord said vnto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, shoulde she not haue bene ashamed seuen dayes? let her be shut out of the hoste seuen dayes, and after she shall bee receiued.
Bwana akamjibu Mose, “Je, kama baba yake angemtemea usoni, asingeona aibu kwa siku saba? Mfungie nje ya kambi kwa siku saba; baada ya hapo anaweza kurudishwa kambini.”
15 So Miriam was shut out of the hoste seuen dayes, and the people remooued not, till Miriam was brought in againe.
Kwa hiyo Miriamu akafungiwa nje ya kambi kwa siku saba, nao watu hawakuendelea na safari mpaka aliporudishwa kambini.
16 Then afterwarde the people remooued from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wildernesse of Paran.
Baada ya hayo, watu waliondoka Haserothi, wakapiga kambi katika Jangwa la Parani.
