Numeri 12

1 Miriamu naAroni vakatanga kupopotera Mozisi nokuda kwomukadzi wake aiva muEtiopia, nokuti akanga awana muEtiopia.

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 “Ko, Jehovha akangotaura naMozisi oga here? Ko, haana kutaura kubudikidza nesuwo here?” Uye Jehovha akazvinzwa.

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 Zvino Mozisi akanga ari munhu akazvininipisa kwazvo, akazvininipisa kupfuura ani zvake pamusoro penyika.

Now, the man Moses, was patient, exceedingly, —above all the sons of earth, who were on the face of the ground.

4 Pakarepo Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Aroni naMiriamu, “Budai muuye kuTende Rokusangana, mose muri vatatu.” Saka vakabuda ivo vari vatatu.

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 Ipapo Jehovha akaburuka ari mushongwe yegore; akamira pamukova wokupinda kuTende akadana Aroni naMiriamu. Vakati vachibuda vari vaviri,

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 akati kwavari, “Teererai mashoko angu: “Kana pano muprofita pakati penyu, ndinozviratidza kwaari nezviratidzo, ndinotaura naye muzviratidzo, ndinotaura naye muzviroto.

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 Asi hazvina kudaro kuna Mozisi muranda wangu; iye akatendeka muimba yangu yose.

Not so, my servant Moses, —In all my house, trusty, is he:

8 Ndinotaura naye takatarisana, pachena kwete nezvirahwe; iye anoona chimiro chaJehovha. Zvino makarega seiko kutya kutaura muchipopotera muranda wangu Mozisi?”

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 Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakapfuta pamusoro pavo, uye akavasiya.

And the anger of Yahweh kindled upon them and he departed.

10 Gore rakati rabva pamusoro peTende, onei Miriamu amirepo ava namaperembudzi, akachena sechando. Aroni akatendeukira kwaari akaona kuti akanga ava namaperembudzi.

And, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent, —lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam and lo! …leprous!

11 Ipapo akati kuna Mozisi, “Ndapota, ishe wangu, regai kuisa pamusoro pedu chivi chataita noupenzi.

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 Musarega achifanana nomwana akazvarwa akafa mudumbu ramai vake hafu yenyama yake yakadyiwa.”

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 Saka Mozisi akachema kuna Jehovha akati, “Haiwa Mwari, ndapota hangu muporesei!”

Then Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —O GOD, I beseech thee grant healing. I beseech thee unto her.

14 Jehovha akapindura Mozisi achiti, “Dai baba vake vanga vamupfira kumeso kwake, haazainyara kwamazuva manomwe here? Mubudise kunze kwomusasa kwamazuva manomwe; mugomudzosa henyu pashure.”

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 Saka Miriamu akabudiswa kunze kwomusasa kwamazuva manomwe, uye vanhu havana kupfuurira mberi kusvikira adzoswa.

So Miriam shut herself up, outside the camp, for seven days, —and, the people, set not forward, until Miriam had been received back.

16 Shure kwaizvozvo, vanhu vakabva paHazeroti vakandodzika musasa muRenje reParani.

Then afterwards, did the people set forward from Hazeroth, and encamped in the desert of Paran.
