Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married: for he had married a Cushite woman.
Miriamu ndi Aaroni anayamba kuyankhula motsutsana ndi Mose chifukwa cha mkazi wa ku Kusi, popeza Moseyo anakwatira Mkusi.
2 And they said, hath Yhwh indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And Yhwh heard it.
Iwowo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Yehova anayankhula kudzera mwa Mose yekha? Kodi sanayankhule kudzeranso mwa ife?” Ndipo Yehova anamva zimenezi.
3 ( Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
(Koma Mose anali munthu wodzichepetsa kwambiri kuposa munthu aliyense pa dziko lapansi).
4 And Yhwh spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.
Nthawi yomweyo Yehova anati kwa Mose, Aaroni ndi Miriamu, “Bwerani ku tenti ya msonkhano nonse atatu.” Ndipo atatuwo anapitadi kumeneko.
5 And Yhwh came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
Tsono Yehova anatsika mu mtambo, nayima pa khomo la chihema. Kenaka anayitana Aaroni ndi Miriamu. Ndipo onse awiri atapita patsogolo,
6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I Yhwh will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
Mulungu anati, “Mverani mawu anga: “Pakakhala mneneri wa Yehova pakati panu, ndimadzionetsera kwa iyeyo mʼmasomphenya, ndimayankhula naye mʼmaloto.
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
Koma sinditero ndi Mose mtumiki wanga; Iyeyu ndi wokhulupirika mʼnyumba yanga yonse.
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of Yhwh shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Ndimayankhula naye maso ndi maso, momveka bwino osati mophiphiritsa; ndipo amaona maonekedwe a Yehova. Nʼchifukwa chiyani simunaope kuyankhula motsutsana ndi Mose mtumiki wanga?”
9 And the anger of Yhwh was kindled against them; and he departed.
Ndipo Yehova anawakwiyira, nachoka.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
Pamene mtambo unachoka pamwamba pa Chihema, taonani, Miriamu anagwidwa ndi khate. Aaroni atachewuka anaona Miriamu ali ndi khate;
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
ndipo Aaroni anawuza Mose kuti, “Pepani mbuye wanga, musatilange chifukwa cha tchimo limene tachita mopusa.
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.
Musalole kuti Miriamu akhale ngati mwana wobadwa wakufa kuchoka mʼmimba mwa amayi ake, thupi lake litawonongeka.”
13 And Moses cried unto Yhwh, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
Tsono Mose anafuwulira Yehova kuti, “Chonde Inu Mulungu, muchiritseni!”
14 And Yhwh said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
Yehova anayankha Mose kuti, “Abambo ake akanamulavulira malovu mʼmaso, kodi sakanakhala wonyozeka masiku asanu ndi awiri? Mutsekereni kunja kwa msasa masiku asanu ndi awiri, kenaka mumulowetsenso.”
15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
Choncho anamutsekera Miriamu kunja kwa msasa masiku asanu ndi awiri ndipo anthu sanayende ulendo wawo mpaka Miriamu atamulowetsanso.
16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
Pambuyo pake anthu ananyamuka ku Heziroti ndi kukamanga mʼchipululu cha Parani.
