Ọnụọgụgụ 12

1 Miriam na Erọn malitere ikwu okwu megide Mosis, nʼihi na ọ lụrụ nwunye onye Kush.

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, on account of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, —for, a Cushite woman, had he taken.

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: Is it only and solely with Moses, that Yahweh hath spoken? With us also, hath he not spoken? And Yahweh heard it.

3 (Ma nwoke ahụ bụ Mosis dị umeala nʼobi nke ukwuu karịa onye ọbụla nọ nʼelu ala.)

Now, the man Moses, was patient, exceedingly, —above all the sons of earth, who were on the face of the ground.

4 Na mberede, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, na Erọn, na Miriam, “Pụtanụ, bịa nʼụlọ nzute, unu mmadụ atọ” Ya mere ha atọ pụtara.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

7 Ma nʼebe ohu m Mosis nọ, o sighị otu a dịrị, ọ bụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼụlọ m niile.

Not so, my servant Moses, —In all my house, trusty, is he:

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 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?

9 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide ha. O si nʼebe ha nọ pụọ.

And the anger of Yahweh kindled upon them and he departed.

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, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent, —lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam and lo! …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, —Oh my lord, do not I beseech thee lay upon us sin, although we have made ourselves foolish, and although 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, I beseech thee, remain like the still-born, —which when it is born of its mother, the half of its flesh is consumed.

13 Ya mere Mosis tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa sị ya, “Chineke, biko, gwọọ ya!”

Then Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —O GOD, I beseech thee grant healing. I beseech thee unto her.

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 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.

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.

So Miriam shut herself up, outside the camp, for seven days, —and, the people, set not forward, until Miriam had been received back.

16 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ha hapụrụ Hazerọt rute nʼọzara Paran ebe ha wuru ogige ụlọ ikwu ha.

Then afterwards, did the people set forward from Hazeroth, and encamped in the desert of Paran.
