Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, on account of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, —for, a Cushite woman, had he taken.
Kisha Miriamu na Haruni wakasema kinyume na Musa kwa sababu ya mwanamke Mkushi ambaye alikuwa amemwoa.
2 And they said: Is it only and solely with Moses, that Yahweh hath spoken? With us also, hath he not spoken? And Yahweh heard it.
Walisema. “Hivi BWANA amesema na Musa tu? Ni kweli hajawahi kusema nasi pia? Sasa BWANA akasikia kile walichokuwa wanaongea. Sasa
3 Now, the man Moses, was patient, exceedingly, —above all the sons of earth, who were on the face of the ground.
Musa alikuwa mtu mpole sana, mpole kuliko mtu yeyote duniani.
4 Then said Yahweh suddenly, unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three went out.
Wakati huo, BWANA akanena na Musa, Haruni na Miriamu: “tokeni nje ninyi watatu kwenye hema ya kukutania.” kwa hiyo wale watatu wakatokanje.
5 Then Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, —and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both went forth.
Kisha BWANA akashuka katika nguzo ya wingu. Akasimama kwenye lango la hema na akamwita Haruni na Miriamu. wote wakaja mbele.
6 Then said he Hear, I beseech you my words. When ye have your prophet, As Yahweh in a vision, will I make myself known, unto him; In a dream, will I speak with him.
BWANA akasema, “Sasa sikilizeni maneo yangu, Nabii wangu anapokuwa nanyi, Mimi nitajifunua kwake kwa maono na kusema naye katika ndoto.
7 Not so, my servant Moses, —In all my house, trusty, is he:
Lakini si hivyo kwa mtumishi wangu Musa. Yeye ni mwaminifu katika nyumba yangu yote.
8 Mouth to mouth, do I speak with him And plainly—not in dark sayings, And the form of Yahweh, doth he discern, —Wherefore then, were ye not afraid to speak against my servant—against Moses?
Mimi huongea na Musa moja kwa moja, si kwa maono wala mafumbo. Yeye huniona umbo langu. Kwa hiyo, kwa nini hamuogoopi kumnenea kinyume, mtumishi wangu Musa?”
9 And the anger of Yahweh kindled upon them and he departed.
Hasira ya BWANA ikawawakia, kisha akawaacha.
10 And, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent, —lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam and lo! …leprous!
Lile wingu likainuka juu ya hema, Miriamu akapata ukoma ghafla - akawa mweupe kama theluji. Naye Haruni alipogeuka kumwona Miriamu, akamwona amepata ukoma.
11 Then said Aaron unto Moses, —Oh my lord, do not I beseech thee lay upon us sin, although we have made ourselves foolish, and although we have sinned.
Haruni akamwambia Musa, “Bwana wangu, usituadhibu kwa uovu wetu huu. Tumenena katka upumbuvu, na tumetenda dhambi.
12 Let her not, I beseech thee, remain like the still-born, —which when it is born of its mother, the half of its flesh is consumed.
Tafadhali nakuomba usimwache akawa kama mtoto mchanga aliyekufa ambaye nusu ya nyama yake imeoza tangu kuzaliwa”
13 Then Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —O GOD, I beseech thee grant healing. I beseech thee unto her.
Kwa hiyo Musa akamwomba BWANA, akasema, “Mungu ninakusihi umponye tafadhali.”
14 And Yahweh said unto Moses: If, her own father, had, but spat, in her face, would she not, have acknowledged the shame for seven days? Let her shut herself up for seven days, outside the camp, and afterwards, let her be received back.
BWANA akamwambia Musa, “kama baba yake angemtemea usoni angepata aibu kwa muda wa siku saba. Umfungie nje ya kambi kwa muda wa siku saba. Kisha umrejeshe ndani tena.”
15 So Miriam shut herself up, outside the camp, for seven days, —and, the people, set not forward, until Miriam had been received back.
Kwa hiyo Miriamu akafungiwa nje ya kambi kwa siku saba. Watu hawakusafiri mpaka aliporudi kambini.
16 Then afterwards, did the people set forward from Hazeroth, and encamped in the desert of Paran.
Kisha watu wakasafiri kutoka Hazeroti na kuweka kambi kwenye jangwa la Parani.
