Mitango 12
1 Miriami mpe Aron bazalaki kotonga Moyize likolo ya mwasi na ye, pamba te abalaki mwasi ya mokili ya Kushi.
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.
They said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn’t he 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 humble, more than all the men who were on the surface 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.
The LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them 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,
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 forward.
6 alobaki: — Boyoka maloba na Ngai!
He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet amongst you, I, the LORD, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.
7 Kasi ezalaka bongo te
My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.
8 Nasololaka na ye elongi na elongi,
With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see the LORD’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
9 Bongo Yawe apeliselaki bango kanda na Ye mpe atikaki bango.
The LORD’s anger burnt 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.
The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at 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!
Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which 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 comes out of his mother’s womb.”
13 Boye, Moyize abelelaki Yawe: — Oh Nzambe, nabondeli Yo, bikisa ye!
Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”
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.
The LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn’t she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of 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.
Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in again.
16 Sima na yango, bato batikaki Atseroti mpe bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na esobe ya Parani.
Afterward the people travelled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
