And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it].
3 Musa alikuwa mtu mpole sana, mpole kuliko mtu yeyote duniani.
(Now the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men which [were] upon the face of the earth.)
4 Wakati huo, BWANA akanena na Musa, Haruni na Miriamu: “tokeni nje ninyi watatu kwenye hema ya kukutania.” kwa hiyo wale watatu wakatokanje.
And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
6 BWANA akasema, “Sasa sikilizeni maneo yangu, Nabii wangu anapokuwa nanyi, Mimi nitajifunua kwake kwa maono na kusema naye katika ndoto.
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream.
7 Lakini si hivyo kwa mtumishi wangu Musa. Yeye ni mwaminifu katika nyumba yangu yote.
My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all mine house.
8 Mimi huongea na Musa moja kwa moja, si kwa maono wala mafumbo. Yeye huniona umbo langu. Kwa hiyo, kwa nini hamuogoopi kumnenea kinyume, mtumishi wangu Musa?”
With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
9 Hasira ya BWANA ikawawakia, kisha akawaacha.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
10 Lile wingu likainuka juu ya hema, Miriamu akapata ukoma ghafla - akawa mweupe kama theluji. Naye Haruni alipogeuka kumwona Miriamu, akamwona amepata ukoma.
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam [became] leprous, [white] as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, [she was] leprous.
11 Haruni akamwambia Musa, “Bwana wangu, usituadhibu kwa uovu wetu huu. Tumenena katka upumbuvu, na tumetenda dhambi.
And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 Tafadhali nakuomba usimwache akawa kama mtoto mchanga aliyekufa ambaye nusu ya nyama yake imeoza tangu kuzaliwa”
Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
14 BWANA akamwambia Musa, “kama baba yake angemtemea usoni angepata aibu kwa muda wa siku saba. Umfungie nje ya kambi kwa muda wa siku saba. Kisha umrejeshe ndani tena.”
And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in [again].
15 Kwa hiyo Miriamu akafungiwa nje ya kambi kwa siku saba. Watu hawakusafiri mpaka aliporudi kambini.
And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].

And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
