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 spake against Moses, on account of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, —for, a Cushite woman, had he taken.
2 Ne bagamba nti, “Naye ddala Mukama bwe yayogeranga yayitanga mu Musa yekka? Mu ffe namwo teyayogereramu?” Mukama Katonda n’abiwulira.
And they said: Is it only and solely with Moses, that Yahweh hath spoken? With us also, hath he not spoken? And Yahweh heard it.
3 Naye nno, Musa yali musajja muwombeefu nnyo, nga muteefu okusinga abantu bonna abaali ku nsi.
Now, the man Moses, was patient, exceedingly, —above all the sons of earth, who were on the face of the ground.
4 Amangwago Mukama n’ayogera ne Musa, ne Alooni ne Miryamu n’abagamba nti, “Mujje, mwensatule, mu Weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu.” Bonsatule ne bagenda.
Then said Yahweh suddenly, unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they 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
Then Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, —and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both went forth.
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.
Then said he Hear, I beseech you my words. When ye have your prophet, As Yahweh in a vision, will I make myself known, unto him; In a dream, will I speak with him.
7 Naye ekyo si bwe kiri ku muddu wange Musa; mu nju yange yonna, muntu mwesigwa.
Not so, my servant Moses, —In all my house, trusty, is he:
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 And plainly—not in dark sayings, And the form of Yahweh, doth he discern, —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 Yahweh kindled upon them and he departed.
10 Ekire bwe kyasituka okuva ku Weema, era laba, Miryamu n’agengewala, n’atukula ng’omuzira. Alooni n’amukyukira n’alaba ng’agengewadde;
And, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent, —lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam and lo! …leprous!
11 n’agamba Musa nti, “Nkwegayirira, mukama wange, oleme kututeekako kibi kino kye tukoze mu busirusiru bwaffe.
Then said Aaron unto Moses, —Oh my lord, do not I beseech thee lay upon us sin, although we have made ourselves foolish, and although 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, I beseech thee, remain like the still-born, —which when it is born of its mother, the half of its flesh is consumed.
13 Musa n’akaabirira Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi Katonda, nkwegayirira omuwonye.”
Then Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —O GOD, I beseech thee grant healing. I beseech thee unto her.
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 Yahweh said unto Moses: If, her own father, had, but spat, in her face, would she not, have acknowledged the shame for seven days? Let her shut herself up for seven days, outside the camp, and afterwards, let her be received back.
15 Bw’atyo Miryamu n’asibirwa ebweru w’olusiisira okumala ennaku musanvu; abantu ne batasitula kutambula okutuusa Miryamu lwe yakomezebwawo.
So Miriam shut herself up, outside the camp, for seven days, —and, the people, set not forward, until Miriam had been received back.
16 Ebyo bwe byaggwa abantu ne basitula okuva e Kazerosi ne batambula okutuusa lwe baasiisira mu ddungu lya Palani.
Then afterwards, did the people set forward from Hazeroth, and encamped in the desert of Paran.
