Ọnụọgụgụ 12

1 Miriam na Erọn malitere ikwu okwu megide Mosis, nʼihi na ọ lụrụ nwunye onye Kush.

Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

2 Ha kwuru sị, “Ọ bụ naanị site nʼọnụ Mosis ka Onyenwe anyị si agwa ndị ya okwu? Ọ naghị esitekwa nʼọnụ anyị kwuo okwu?” Onyenwe anyị nụrụ ihe ndị a ha kwuru.

They said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn’t he spoken also with us?” And the LORD heard it.

3 (Ma nwoke ahụ bụ Mosis dị umeala nʼobi nke ukwuu karịa onye ọbụla nọ nʼelu ala.)

Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.

4 Na mberede, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis, na Erọn, na Miriam, “Pụtanụ, bịa nʼụlọ nzute, unu mmadụ atọ” Ya mere ha atọ pụtara.

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 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị rịdatara nʼime igwe ojii, guzoro na mbata ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ nzute ahụ, kpọpụta Erọn na Miriam. Mgbe ha abụọ bịara nso.

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 Onyenwe anyị gwara ha sị, “Geenụ ntị nʼokwu m ndị a: “Mgbe onye amụma nọ nʼetiti unu, Mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị na-egosi ya onwe m site nʼọhụ. Ana m agwa ya okwu site na nrọ.

He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet amongst you, I, the LORD, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

7 Ma nʼebe ohu m Mosis nọ, o sighị otu a dịrị, ọ bụ onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nʼụlọ m niile.

My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.

8 Nʼebe ọ nọ, ana m agwa ya okwu ihu na ihu nʼụzọ doro anya, ọ bụghị site nʼilu, ọ na-ahụkwa ụdịdị Onyenwe anyị. Gịnị mere ụjọ atụghị unu ikwu okwu megide ohu m Mosis?”

With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, 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 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ọkụ megide ha. O si nʼebe ha nọ pụọ.

The LORD’s anger burnt against them; and he departed.

10 Ma mgbe igwe ojii ahụ hapụrụ ụlọ nzute ahụ, lee Miriam ebe o guzo, ekpenta tiwapụtara ya nʼahụ dịka nzu ọcha. Mgbe Erọn tụgharịrị ebe ọ nọ hụ na ọ ghọọla onye ekpenta,

The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

11 ọ gwara Mosis okwu sị, “Biko, onyenwe m, atala anyị ahụhụ nʼihi mmehie anyị sitere na nzuzu mee.

Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.

12 Ekwela ka Miriam dịrị ka nwa ọhụrụ nwụrụ anwụ nke akpụkpọ ahụ ya rere ure nʼoge o si nʼakpanwa nne ya na-apụta.”

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 Ya mere Mosis tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa sị ya, “Chineke, biko, gwọọ ya!”

Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”

14 Ma Onyenwe anyị zara Mosis sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na nna ya gbụrụ ya asụ nʼihu, ọ gaghị abụ onye rụrụ arụ abalị asaa? Ya mere, hapụ ya ka ọ bụrụ onye e sitere nʼogige ọmụma ụlọ ikwu Izrel wezuga abalị asaa. Mgbe oge a gafesịrị, o nwere ike ịlọghachi.”

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 Ya mere e wezugara Miriam site nʼogige ọmụma ụlọ ikwu Izrel abalị asaa. Ndị Izrel niile nọdụrụ chere ya ruo mgbe ọ lọghachiri, tutu ha ebilie nʼije ọzọ.

Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in again.

16 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị, ha hapụrụ Hazerọt rute nʼọzara Paran ebe ha wuru ogige ụlọ ikwu ha.

Afterward the people travelled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
