1 Nao Miriamu na Harũni magĩtetia Musa, nĩ ũndũ wa mũtumia wake Mũkushi, nĩgũkorwo Musa nĩ ahikĩtie Mũkushi.
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
2 Ningĩ nao mooragia atĩrĩ, “Anga Jehova angĩaria o na Musa wiki? Githĩ o na ithuĩ to atwarĩrie?” Nake Jehova akĩigua ndeto icio.
They said, "Has Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us?" And Jehovah heard it.
3 (Na rĩrĩ, Musa aarĩ mũndũ mwĩnyiihia mũno, mwĩnyiihia gũkĩra andũ arĩa angĩ othe gũkũ thĩ).
Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth.
4 O rĩmwe Jehova akĩĩra Musa na Harũni na Miriamu atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ atatũ umai mũũke Hema-inĩ ĩyo-ya-Gũtũnganwo.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio othe atatũ makiuma magĩthiĩ ho.
Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, "You three come out to the Tent of Meeting." The three of them came out.
5 Ningĩ Jehova agĩikũrũka arĩ thĩinĩ wa gĩtugĩ gĩa itu, akĩrũgama itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Hema ĩyo, na agĩĩta Harũni na Miriamu. Na eerĩ magĩthiathia harĩ we,
Jehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.
6 nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩriai ciugo ciakwa: “Rĩrĩa mũnabii wa Jehova arĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu-rĩ, niĩ nĩndĩĩmwĩguũragĩria na cioneki, na ngamwarĩria na irooto.
He said, "Hear now my words. If there is a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.
7 No ha ũhoro wa Musa ndungata yakwa ndiĩkaga ũguo; we nĩ mwĩhokeku thĩinĩ wa nyũmba yakwa yothe.
My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.
8 Musa-rĩ, twaranagĩria nake ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ, tũkaaranĩria ũhoro mũtaũku, na ndimwaragĩria na thimo; na nĩwe wonaga ũrĩa Jehova atariĩ. Nĩ kĩĩ kĩgiririe mwĩtigĩre gũtetia Musa ndungata yakwa?”
With him I will speak mouth to mouth, even openly, and not in riddles; and he shall see Jehovah's form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?"
9 Nake Jehova agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wao, agĩthiĩ akĩmatiga.
The anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he departed.
10 Rĩrĩa itu rĩu rĩeherire igũrũ rĩa Hema ĩyo, Miriamu agĩkorwo aarũgamĩte o ro hau, arĩ na mangũ, akerũha o ta ira. Nake Harũni ehũgũra akĩona atĩ Miriamu aarĩ na mangũ;
The cloud departed from over the Tent; and look, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and look, she was leprous.
11 nake akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha, mwathi wakwa, ndũgatũrũithĩrie wĩhia ũcio twĩkĩte na ũrimũ.
Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, please do not count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.
12 Ndũkareke ahaane ta kĩhuno kiumĩte nda ya nyina mwĩrĩ wakĩo ũbuthĩte mwena ũmwe.”
Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb."
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Musa agĩkaĩra Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee Ngai, ndagũthaitha, mũhonie!”
Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, "Heal her, God, I beg you."
14 Nake Jehova agĩcookeria Musa, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Korwo ithe nĩamũtuĩrĩire mata ũthiũ-rĩ, githĩ ndangĩaikarire na thoni matukũ mũgwanja? Mũhingĩrĩriei na kũu nja ya kambĩ matukũ mũgwanja; na thuutha ũcio no acookio kambĩ.”
Jehovah said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn't she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again."
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Miriamu akĩhingĩrĩrio na kũu nja ya kambĩ ĩyo matukũ mũgwanja, nao andũ acio angĩ matiathiire na mbere na rũgendo nginya rĩrĩa Miriamu aacookirio kambĩ.
Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam was brought in again.
16 Thuutha ũcio, andũ acio a Isiraeli makiuma Hazerothu magĩthiĩ makĩamba hema ciao Werũ-inĩ wa Parani.
Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
