< Numbers 12 >

1 And Miriam speaketh — Aaron also — against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken: for a Cushite woman he had taken;
UMiriyemu lo-Aroni basuka basebeqalisa ukusola uMosi ngenxa yomkakhe ongumKhushi, njengoba wayethethe umKhushi.
2 and they say, 'Only by Moses hath Jehovah spoken? also by us hath he not spoken?' and Jehovah heareth.
Babuzana bathi: “Kambe uMosi nguye yedwa ongumlomo kaThixo na? Kanti lathi kazange asenze izikhulumeli zakhe na?” UThixo wakuzwa lokhu.
3 And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the men who [are] on the face of the ground.
(UMosi wayeyindoda ethobeke kakhulu, ethobeke ukwedlula wonke amadoda asemhlabeni.)
4 And Jehovah saith suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, 'Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting;' and they three come out.
Khonokho nje uThixo wathi kuMosi, u-Aroni loMiriyemu, “Phumani lize ethenteni lokuhlangana, lonke lobathathu.” Lakanye beza bobathathu.
5 And Jehovah cometh down in the pillar of the cloud, and standeth at the opening of the tent, and calleth Aaron and Miriam, and they come out both of them.
UThixo wehla ngensika yeyezi; wema esangweni lethente wasebiza u-Aroni loMiriyemu. Kwathi lapho sebesondele bobabili,
6 And He saith, 'Hear, I pray you, My words: If your prophet is of Jehovah — in an appearance unto him I make Myself known; in a dream I speak with him;
uThixo wasesithi, “Lalelani amazwi ami: Nxa kulomphrofethi kaThixo phakathi kwenu, ngiziveza kuye ngemibono, ngikhuluma laye emaphutsheni.
7 not so My servant Moses; in all My house he [is] stedfast;
Kodwa akunjalo ngenceku yami uMosi; uthembekile endlini yami yonke.
8 mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant — against Moses?'
Nxa ngikhuluma laye siqondana ubuso ngobuso, ngokucacileyo kungesikuphicana; uyasibona isimo sikaThixo. Kungani pho belingesabi ukusola inceku yami uMosi na?”
9 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against them, and He goeth on,
Ulaka lukaThixo lwavutha phezu kwabo, uThixo wasesuka kubo.
10 and the cloud hath turned aside from off the tent, and lo, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turneth unto Miriam, and lo, leprous!
Ekusukeni kweyezi phezu kwethente, kwabonakala uMiriyemu esemi lapho eselobulephero obunjengongqwaqwane. U-Aroni uthe emkhangela wambona eselobulephero;
11 And Aaron saith unto Moses, 'O, my lord, I pray thee, lay not upon us sin [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned;
wasesithi kuMosi, “Awu, nkosi yami, ungasibeki icala ngenxa yesono esisenze ngobuwula.
12 let her not, I pray thee, be as [one] dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his mother — the half of his flesh is consumed.'
Ungamyekeli enjengomntwana ozelwe efile, inyama yakhe idliwe nganxanye.”
13 And Moses crieth unto Jehovah, saying, 'O God, I pray Thee, give, I pray Thee, healing to her.'
Ngakho uMosi wakhala kuThixo wathi, “Nkulunkulu, ngiyakucela, msilise.”
14 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'And her father had but spat in her face — is she not ashamed seven days? she is shut out seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterwards she is gathered.'
UThixo waphendula uMosi wathi, “Kambe ngabe uyise ubemkhafulele ebusweni, ubengayikuthwala ihlazo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa na? Mkhupheni ahlale ngaphandle kwezihonqo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa; ngemva kwalokho selingambuyisa.”
15 And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp seven days, and the people hath not journeyed till Miriam is gathered;
Ngakho uMiriyemu wahlaliswa ngaphandle kwezihonqo okwensuku eziyisikhombisa, ngakho abantu kabaqhubekanga ngohambo waze waphenduka.
16 and afterwards have the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
Ngemva kwalokho, abantu basuka eHazerothi bayamisa izihonqo enkangala yasePharani.
