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 Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
2 Balobaki: — Boni, Yawe alobaka kaka na nzela ya Moyize? Alobaki mpe na nzela na biso te? Yawe ayokaki bango.
And they said: 'Hath the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? hath He not spoken also with us?' And the LORD heard it. —
3 Nzokande Moyize azalaki moto ya komikitisa makasi koleka bato nyonso ya mokili.
Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the 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.
And the LORD spoke suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam: 'Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting.' And they three came out.
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 the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door 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 the LORD do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream.
7 Kasi ezalaka bongo te
My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house;
8 Nasololaka na ye elongi na elongi,
with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, 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 Bongo Yawe apeliselaki bango kanda na Ye mpe atikaki bango.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and He departed.
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 when the cloud was removed from over the Tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow; and Aaron looked upon 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!
And Aaron said unto Moses: 'Oh my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we 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, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.'
13 Boye, Moyize abelelaki Yawe: — Oh Nzambe, nabondeli Yo, bikisa ye!
And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying: 'Heal her now, O God, 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 the LORD said unto Moses: 'If her father had but spit in her face, should she not hide in shame seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.'
15 Boye batiaki Miriami libanda ya molako mikolo sambo mpe bato bazalaki kotambola te kino tango Miriami azongaki.
And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days; and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
16 Sima na yango, bato batikaki Atseroti mpe bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na esobe ya Parani.
And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
