Okubala 12
1 Awo Miryamu ne Alooni ne boogera nga bawakanya Musa olw’omukazi Omukuusi gwe yali awasizza, kubanga yali awasizza Mukuusi.
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, on account of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for an Ethiopian woman had he married.
2 Ne bagamba nti, “Naye ddala Mukama bwe yayogeranga yayitanga mu Musa yekka? Mu ffe namwo teyayogereramu?” Mukama Katonda n’abiwulira.
And they said, Hath then only with Moses the Lord spoken? hath he not also spoken with us? And the Lord heard it.
3 Naye nno, Musa yali musajja muwombeefu nnyo, nga muteefu okusinga abantu bonna abaali ku nsi.
(But the man Moses was very meek, more so than any man who was upon the face of the 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 the Lord said suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Go out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation; and these three 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, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.
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, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet of your kind, I, the Lord, do make myself known unto him in a vision, in a dream do I speak with him.
7 Naye ekyo si bwe kiri ku muddu wange Musa; mu nju yange yonna, muntu mwesigwa.
Not so is my servant Moses, in all my house is he faithful.
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?”
Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, 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 Obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda ne bubabuubuukira, n’abaviira.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he 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 departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 n’agamba Musa nti, “Nkwegayirira, mukama wange, oleme kututeekako kibi kino kye tukoze mu busirusiru bwaffe.
Then said Aaron unto Moses, Alas, my Lord, do not, I beseech thee, account to us as sin that wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Tomuleka omubiri gwe okufaanana ng’ogw’omwana omuwere azaalibwa ng’ali ng’afudde, ng’omubiri gwe guweddemu ensa.”
Let her not be as a dead-born child, of which half the flesh is consumed, when it cometh out of its mother's womb.
13 Musa n’akaabirira Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Katonda, nkwegayirira omuwonye.”
And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, O God! do thou heal her, I beseech thee.
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 unto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up seven days outside of the camp, and after that let her be brought in again.
15 Bw’atyo Miryamu n’asibirwa ebweru w’olusiisira okumala ennaku musanvu; abantu ne batasitula kutambula okutuusa Miryamu lwe yakomezebwawo.
And Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days; and the people did not set forward till Miriam was brought in again.
16 Ebyo bwe byaggwa abantu ne basitula okuva e Kazerosi ne batambula okutuusa lwe baasiisira mu ddungu lya Palani.
And afterward the people removed from Chazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
