Mitango 12
1 Miriami mpe Aron bazalaki kotonga Moyize likolo ya mwasi na ye, pamba te abalaki mwasi ya mokili ya Kushi.
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had taken; for he had taken a Cushite as wife.
2 Balobaki: — Boni, Yawe alobaka kaka na nzela ya Moyize? Alobaki mpe na nzela na biso te? Yawe ayokaki bango.
And they said, Has Jehovah indeed spoken only to Moses? has he not spoken also to us? And Jehovah heard it.
3 Nzokande Moyize azalaki moto ya komikitisa makasi koleka bato nyonso ya mokili.
But the man Moses was very meek, above all men that were upon the face of the earth.
4 Mbala moko, Yawe alobaki na Moyize, Aron mpe Miriami: — Boya bino misato na Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani. Bango nyonso misato bakendeki.
Then Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they went out, they three.
5 Yawe akitaki na likonzi ya lipata, atelemaki na ekuke ya Ndako ya kapo mpe abengaki Aron mpe Miriami. Tango bango mibale batelemaki liboso,
And Jehovah came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.
6 alobaki: — Boyoka maloba na Ngai!
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak to him in a dream.
7 Kasi ezalaka bongo te
Not so my servant Moses: he is faithful in all my house.
8 Nasololaka na ye elongi na elongi,
Mouth to mouth do I speak to him openly, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah doth he behold. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
9 Bongo Yawe apeliselaki bango kanda na Ye mpe atikaki bango.
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he went away;
10 Tango kaka lipata elongwaki likolo ya Ndako ya kapo, bokono ya maba ezwaki mbala moko Miriami: ezalaki pembe lokola mvula ya pembe. Aron abalukaki mpo na kotala Miriami mpe amonaki ete azwi bokono ya maba.
and the cloud departed from off the tent. And behold, Miriam was leprous as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.
11 Bongo Aron alobaki na Moyize: — Nabondeli yo, nkolo na ngai! Kotangela biso te masumu oyo tosali na bozoba!
Then Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not this sin upon us, wherein we have been foolish, and have sinned!
12 Kotika te ete Miriami azala lokola mwana oyo abotami ya kokufa, oyo abimi na libumu ya mama na ye na ndambo ya nzoto ya kopola!
Let her not be as one stillborn, half of whose flesh is consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.
13 Boye, Moyize abelelaki Yawe: — Oh Nzambe, nabondeli Yo, bikisa ye!
And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, O God, heal her, I beseech thee!
14 Yawe azongiselaki Moyize: — Soki tata na ye abwakelaki ye soyi na elongi; boni, alingaki kozala na soni te mikolo sambo? Tia ye na libanda ya molako mikolo sambo, na sima na yango nde akoki kozonga.
And Jehovah said to Moses, But had her father anyways spat in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? She shall be shut outside the camp seven days, and afterwards she shall be received in [again].
15 Boye batiaki Miriami libanda ya molako mikolo sambo mpe bato bazalaki kotambola te kino tango Miriami azongaki.
And Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days; and the people did not journey till Miriam was received in [again].
16 Sima na yango, bato batikaki Atseroti mpe bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na esobe ya Parani.
And afterwards the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
