Ọnụọgụgụ 12
1 Miriam na Erọn malitere ikwu okwu megide Mosis, nʼihi na ọ lụrụ nwunye onye Kush.
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, on account of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for an Ethiopian woman had he married.
2 Ha kwuru sị, “Ọ bụ naanị site nʼọnụ Mosis ka Onyenwe anyị si agwa ndị ya okwu? Ọ naghị esitekwa nʼọnụ anyị kwuo okwu?” Onyenwe anyị nụrụ ihe ndị a ha kwuru.
And they said, Hath then only with Moses the Lord spoken? hath he not also spoken with us? And the Lord heard it.
3 (Ma nwoke ahụ bụ Mosis dị umeala nʼobi nke ukwuu karịa onye ọbụla nọ nʼelu ala.)
(But the man Moses was very meek, more so than any man who was upon the face of the earth.)
4 Na mberede, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, na Erọn, na Miriam, “Pụtanụ, bịa nʼụlọ nzute, unu mmadụ atọ” Ya mere ha atọ pụtara.
And the Lord said suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Go out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation; and these three went out.
5 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị rịdatara nʼime igwe ojii, guzoro na mbata ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ, kpọpụta Erọn na Miriam. Mgbe ha abụọ bịara nso.
And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.
6 Onyenwe anyị gwara ha sị, “Geenụ ntị nʼokwu m ndị a: “Mgbe onye amụma nọ nʼetiti unu, Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị na-egosi ya onwe m site nʼọhụ. Ana m agwa ya okwu site na nrọ.
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet of your kind, I, the Lord, do make myself known unto him in a vision, in a dream do I speak with him.
7 Ma nʼebe ohu m Mosis nọ, o sighị otu a dịrị, ọ bụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼụlọ m niile.
Not so is my servant Moses, in all my house is he faithful.
8 Nʼebe ọ nọ, ana m agwa ya okwu ihu na ihu nʼụzọ doro anya, ọ bụghị site nʼilu, ọ na-ahụkwa ụdịdị Onyenwe anyị. Gịnị mere ụjọ atụghị unu ikwu okwu megide ohu m Mosis?”
Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord doth he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
9 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide ha. O si nʼebe ha nọ pụọ.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he went away.
10 Ma mgbe igwe ojii ahụ hapụrụ ụlọ nzute ahụ, lee Miriam ebe o guzo, ekpenta tiwapụtara ya nʼahụ dịka nzu ọcha. Mgbe Erọn tụgharịrị ebe ọ nọ hụ na ọ ghọọla onye ekpenta,
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 ọ gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Biko, onyenwe m, atala anyị ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie anyị sitere na nzuzu mee.
Then said Aaron unto Moses, Alas, my Lord, do not, I beseech thee, account to us as sin that wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Ekwela ka Miriam dịrị ka nwa ọhụrụ nwụrụ anwụ nke akpụkpọ ahụ ya rere ure nʼoge o si nʼakpanwa nne ya na-apụta.”
Let her not be as a dead-born child, of which half the flesh is consumed, when it cometh out of its mother's womb.
13 Ya mere Mosis tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa sị ya, “Chineke, biko, gwọọ ya!”
And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, O God! do thou heal her, I beseech thee.
14 Ma Onyenwe anyị zara Mosis sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na nna ya gbụrụ ya asụ nʼihu, ọ gaghị abụ onye rụrụ arụ abalị asaa? Ya mere, hapụ ya ka ọ bụrụ onye e sitere nʼogige ọmụma ụlọ ikwu Izrel wezuga abalị asaa. Mgbe oge a gafesịrị, o nwere ike ịlọghachi.”
And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up seven days outside of the camp, and after that let her be brought in again.
15 Ya mere e wezugara Miriam site nʼogige ọmụma ụlọ ikwu Izrel abalị asaa. Ndị Izrel niile nọdụrụ chere ya ruo mgbe ọ lọghachiri, tutu ha ebilie nʼije ọzọ.
And Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days; and the people did not set forward till Miriam was brought in again.
16 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ha hapụrụ Hazerọt rute nʼọzara Paran ebe ha wuru ogige ụlọ ikwu ha.
And afterward the people removed from Chazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
