Ọnụọgụgụ 12
1 Miriam na Erọn malitere ikwu okwu megide Mosis, nʼihi na ọ lụrụ nwunye onye Kush.
Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had 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.
They said, “Has Yahweh spoken only with Moses? Has he not spoken also with us?” Now Yahweh heard what they said.
3 (Ma nwoke ahụ bụ Mosis dị umeala nʼobi nke ukwuu karịa onye ọbụla nọ nʼelu ala.)
Now the man Moses was very humble, humbler than anyone else on earth.
4 Na mberede, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, na Erọn, na Miriam, “Pụtanụ, bịa nʼụlọ nzute, unu mmadụ atọ” Ya mere ha atọ pụtara.
Right away Yahweh spoke to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam: “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” So the three of them 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. He stood at the entrance to the tent and called Aaron and Miriam. They both came forward.
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.
Yahweh said, “Now listen to my words. When a prophet of mine is with you, I will reveal myself to him in visions and speak to him in dreams.
7 Ma nʼebe ohu m Mosis nọ, o sighị otu a dịrị, ọ bụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼụlọ m niile.
My servant Moses is not like that. He is faithful in all my house.
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?”
I speak to Moses directly, not with visions or riddles. He sees my form. So why are you unafraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
9 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide ha. O si nʼebe ha nọ pụọ.
Yahweh's anger burned against them, and then he left them.
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,
The cloud rose from over the tent, and Miriam was suddenly leprous—she was as white as snow. When Aaron turned toward Miriam, he saw that she had leprosy.
11 ọ gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Biko, onyenwe m, atala anyị ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie anyị sitere na nzuzu mee.
Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my master, please do not hold this sin against us. We have spoken foolishly, and 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.”
Please do not let her be like a dead newborn whose flesh is half consumed when it emerges from its mother's womb.”
13 Ya mere Mosis tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa sị ya, “Chineke, biko, gwọọ ya!”
So Moses called out to Yahweh. He said, “Please heal her, God, please.”
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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face, she would be disgraced for seven days. Shut her outside the camp for seven days. After that bring her 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.
So Miriam was shut outside the camp for seven days. The people did not journey until she had returned to the camp.
16 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ha hapụrụ Hazerọt rute nʼọzara Paran ebe ha wuru ogige ụlọ ikwu ha.
After that, the people journeyed from Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
