Miriam and Aaron
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
Kisha Miriamu na Haruni wakamnenea Musa kwa sababu ya mwanamke Mkushi aliyekuwa amemwoa; maana, alikuwa amemwoa mwanamke Mkushi.
2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it .
Wakasema, Je! Ni kweli Bwana amenena na Musa tu? Hakunena na sisi pia? Bwana akasikia maneno yao.
3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
Basi huyo mtu, huyo Musa, alikuwa mpole sana zaidi ya wanadamu wote waliokuwa juu ya uso wa nchi.
4 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.
Bwana akanena ghafula na Musa, na Haruni na Miriamu, na kuwaambia, Tokeni nje ninyi watatu, mwende hemani mwa kukutania. Basi hao watatu wakatoka nje.
5 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.
Bwana akashuka katika nguzo ya wingu akasimama pale mlangoni pa Hema, akawaita Haruni na Miriamu, nao wakatoka nje wote wawili.
6 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.
Kisha akawaambia, Sikizeni basi maneno yangu; Akiwapo nabii kati yenu, Mimi, Bwana, nitajifunua kwake katika maono, Nitasema naye katika ndoto.
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
Sivyo ilivyo kwa mtumishi wangu, Musa; Yeye ni mwaminifu katika nyumba yangu yote;
8 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?
Kwake nitanena mdomo kwa mdomo, Maana, waziwazi wala si kwa mafumbo; Na umbo la Bwana yeye ataliona. Mbona basi ninyi hamkuogopa Kumnenea mtumishi wangu, huyo Musa?
9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
Hasira za Bwana zikawaka juu yao; naye akaenda zake.
10 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.
Kisha hilo wingu likaondoka kutoka pale juu ya hema; na tazama, Miriamu akawa mwenye ukoma, mweupe kama theluji; Haruni akamwangalia Miriamu, na tazama, yu mwenye ukoma.
11 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.
Kisha Haruni akamwambia Musa, Ee bwana wangu nakusihi sana usituwekee dhambi juu yetu, kwa kuwa tumefanya ya upumbavu, na kufanya dhambi.
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
Nakusihi, asiwe kama mmoja aliyekufa, ambaye nyama ya mwili wake nusu imelika hapo atokapo tumbo la mama yake.
13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
Musa akamlilia Bwana, akasema, Mpoze, Ee Mungu, nakusihi sana.
14 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 .
Bwana akamwambia Musa, Je! Kama baba yake angalimtemea mate usoni tu, hangaliona aibu muda wa siku saba? Na afungwe nje ya kambi muda wa siku saba, kisha baada ya hayo ataletwa ndani tena.
15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again .
Basi Miriamu alifungwa nje ya kambi muda wa siku saba; wala watu hawakusafiri hata Miriamu alipoletwa ndani tena.
16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
Baada ya hayo watu wakasafiri kutoka Haserothi, wakapanga kambi katika nyika ya Parani.
