Hesabu 12
1 Kisha Miriamu na Haruni wakasema kinyume na Musa kwa sababu ya mwanamke Mkushi ambaye alikuwa amemwoa.
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
2 Walisema. “Hivi BWANA amesema na Musa tu? Ni kweli hajawahi kusema nasi pia? Sasa BWANA akasikia kile walichokuwa wanaongea. Sasa
They said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us?" And the LORD heard it.
3 Musa alikuwa mtu mpole sana, mpole kuliko mtu yeyote duniani.
Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface 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.
The LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, "You three come out to the Tent of Meeting." The three of them came out.
5 Kisha BWANA akashuka katika nguzo ya wingu. Akasimama kwenye lango la hema na akamwita Haruni na Miriamu. wote wakaja mbele.
The LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.
6 BWANA akasema, “Sasa sikilizeni maneo yangu, Nabii wangu anapokuwa nanyi, Mimi nitajifunua kwake kwa maono na kusema naye katika ndoto.
He said, "Hear now my words. If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with 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. He is faithful in all my 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 I will speak mouth to mouth, even openly, and not in riddles; and he shall see the LORD's form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?"
9 Hasira ya BWANA ikawawakia, kisha akawaacha.
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.
The cloud departed from over the Tent; and look, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and look, she was leprous.
11 Haruni akamwambia Musa, “Bwana wangu, usituadhibu kwa uovu wetu huu. Tumenena katka upumbuvu, na tumetenda dhambi.
Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, please do not count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.
12 Tafadhali nakuomba usimwache akawa kama mtoto mchanga aliyekufa ambaye nusu ya nyama yake imeoza tangu kuzaliwa”
Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb."
13 Kwa hiyo Musa akamwomba BWANA, akasema, “Mungu ninakusihi umponye tafadhali.”
Moses cried to the LORD, saying, "Heal her, God, I beg you."
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.”
The LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn't she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again."
15 Kwa hiyo Miriamu akafungiwa nje ya kambi kwa siku saba. Watu hawakusafiri mpaka aliporudi kambini.
Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam was brought in again.
16 Kisha watu wakasafiri kutoka Hazeroti na kuweka kambi kwenye jangwa la Parani.
Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
