Okubala 12
1 Awo Miryamu ne Alooni ne boogera nga bawakanya Musa olw’omukazi Omukuusi gwe yali awasizza, kubanga yali awasizza Mukuusi.
Now Miriam and Aaron said evil against Moses, because of the Cushite woman to whom he was married, for he had taken a Cushite woman as his wife.
2 Ne bagamba nti, “Naye ddala Mukama bwe yayogeranga yayitanga mu Musa yekka? Mu ffe namwo teyayogereramu?” Mukama Katonda n’abiwulira.
And they said, Have the words of the Lord been given to Moses only? have they not come to us? And the Lord took note of it.
3 Naye nno, Musa yali musajja muwombeefu nnyo, nga muteefu okusinga abantu bonna abaali ku nsi.
Now the man Moses was more gentle than any other man on earth.
4 Amangwago Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa, ne Alooni ne Miryamu n’abagamba nti, “Mujje, mwensatule, mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.” Bonsatule ne bagenda.
And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and Aaron and Miriam, Come out, you three, to the Tent of meeting. And the three of them went out.
5 Mukama Katonda n’akkira mu mpagi ey’ekire, n’ayimirira ku mulyango gwa Weema n’ayita Alooni ne Miryamu. Bombi bwe baasembera
And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, taking his place at the door of the Tent, and made Aaron and Miriam come before him.
6 n’abagamba nti, “Muwulirize ebigambo byange: “Mu mmwe bwe mubaamu nnabbi wa Mukama Katonda, nneeraga gy’ali mu kulabikirwa, oba njogera naye mu birooto.
And he said, Now give ear to my words: if there is a prophet among you I will give him knowledge of myself in a vision and will let my words come to him in a dream.
7 Naye ekyo si bwe kiri ku muddu wange Musa; mu nju yange yonna, muntu mwesigwa.
My servant Moses is not so; he is true to me in all my house:
8 Bwe mba njogera naye tutunulagana maaso na maaso, njogera butereevu so si mu ngero; alaba ekifaananyi kya Mukama Katonda. Kale, lwaki temwatidde okuwakanya omuddu wange Musa?”
With him I will have talk mouth to mouth, openly and not in dark sayings; and with his eyes he will see the form of the Lord: why then had you no fear of saying evil against my servant Moses?
9 Obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ne bubabuubuukira, n’abaviira.
And burning with wrath against them, the Lord went away.
10 Ekire bwe kyasituka okuva ku Weema, era laba, Miryamu n’agengewala, n’atukula ng’omuzira. Alooni n’amukyukira n’alaba ng’agengewadde;
And the cloud was moved from over the Tent; and straight away Miriam became a leper, as white as snow: and Aaron, looking at Miriam, saw that she was a leper.
11 n’agamba Musa nti, “Nkwegayirira, mukama wange, oleme kututeekako kibi kino kye tukoze mu busirusiru bwaffe.
Then Aaron said to Moses, O my lord, let not our sin be on our heads, for we have done foolishly and are sinners.
12 Tomuleka omubiri gwe okufaanana ng’ogw’omwana omuwere azaalibwa ng’ali ng’afudde, ng’omubiri gwe guweddemu ensa.”
Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half wasted when he comes out from the body of his mother.
13 Musa n’akaabirira Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Katonda, nkwegayirira omuwonye.”
And Moses, crying to the Lord, said, Let my prayer come before you, O God, and make her well.
14 Mukama Katonda n’addamu Musa nti, “Singa kitaawe amuwandidde amalusu mu maaso, teyandibadde muswavu okumala ennaku musanvu? Kale mumusibire ebweru w’olusiisira okumala ennaku musanvu; bwe zinaggwaako ayinza okukomezebwawo.”
And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had put a mark of shame on her, would she not be shamed for seven days? Let her be shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days, and after that she may come in again.
15 Bw’atyo Miryamu n’asibirwa ebweru w’olusiisira okumala ennaku musanvu; abantu ne batasitula kutambula okutuusa Miryamu lwe yakomezebwawo.
So Miriam was shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days: and the people did not go forward on their journey till Miriam had come in again.
16 Ebyo bwe byaggwa abantu ne basitula okuva e Kazerosi ne batambula okutuusa lwe baasiisira mu ddungu lya Palani.
After that, the people went on from Hazeroth and put up their tents in the waste land of Paran.
