¹Zvino Miriami naAroni vakapopotera Mozisi nokuda komukadzi aiva muKushi, waakanga awana; nekuti akanga awana mukadzi aiva muKushi.

¹And Miriam speaketh — Aaron also — against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken: for a Cushite woman he had taken;

²Vakati, Ko Jehovha akataura naMozisi iye oga here? Ko haana kutaura nesuwo here? Jehovha akazvinzwa.

²and they say, `Only by Moses hath Jehovah spoken? also by us hath he not spoken?` and Jehovah heareth.

³Zvino munhu uyu Mozisi akanga ari munhu munyoro kwazvo, kupfuura vanhu vose vaiva panyika.

³And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the men who [are] on the face of the ground.

⁴Jehovha akataura pakarepo naMozisi naAroni naMiriami, akati, Budai imwi vatatu kutende rokusangana. Ivo vatatu vakabuda.

⁴And Jehovah saith suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, `Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting;` and they three come out.

⁵Ipapo Jehovha akaburuka mushongwe yegore, akamira mumukova wetende rokusangana, akadana Aroni naMiriami; ivo vaviri vakabuda.

⁵And Jehovah cometh down in the pillar of the cloud, and standeth at the opening of the tent, and calleth Aaron and Miriam, and they come out both of them.

⁶Zvino akati, Teererai mashoko angu; kana kuno muporofita pakati penyu, ini Jehovha ndichazvizivisa kwaari nechiratidzo, ndichataura naye nokurota hope.

⁶And He saith, `Hear, I pray you, My words: If your prophet is of Jehovah — in an appearance unto him I make Myself known; in a dream I speak with him;

⁷Muranda wangu Mozisi haana kudaro; akatendeka paimba yangu yose.

⁷not so My servant Moses; in all My house he [is] stedfast;

⁸Iye ndichataura naye nomuromo, pachena, ndisingatauri namashoko asinganzwisiswi; iye uchaona Jehovha kuti akadini; naizvozvo makaregereiko kutya kupopotera muranda wangu Mozisi?

⁸mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant — against Moses?`

⁹Ipapo kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakavamukira, iye akabva.

⁹And the anger of Jehovah burneth against them, and He goeth on,

¹⁰Gore rikabva pamusoro petende rokusangana, onei Miriami ava namaperembudzi, akachena sechando; Aroni akatarira Miriami, onei ava namaperembudzI

¹⁰and the cloud hath turned aside from off the tent, and lo, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turneth unto Miriam, and lo, leprous!

¹¹Zvino Aroni akati kuna Mozisi, Haiwa, Ishe wangu, musaisa mhosva yezvivi pamusoro pedu,kunyange takaita hedu noupenzi, tikatadza.

¹¹And Aaron saith unto Moses, `O, my lord, I pray thee, lay not upon us sin [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned;

¹²Ngaarege kuva somwana wakaberekwa akafa, imwe nyama yake yakaora pakubuda kwake padumbu ramai vake.

¹²let her not, I pray thee, be as [one] dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his mother — the half of his flesh is consumed.`

¹³Zvino Mozisi akachema kuna Jehovha, akati, Haiwa Mwari, domuporesai henyu.

¹³And Moses crieth unto Jehovah, saying, `O God, I pray Thee, give, I pray Thee, healing to her.`

¹⁴Jehovha akati kuna Mozisi, Dai baba vake vakanga vamupfira mate kuchiso chake, haazaifanira kunyara mazuva manomwe here? Ngaabudiswe kunze kwemisasa mazuva manomwe, agopinzwa pashure.

¹⁴And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `And her father had but spat in her face — is she not ashamed seven days? she is shut out seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterwards she is gathered.`

¹⁵Ipapo Miriami akabudiswa kunze kwemisasa mazuva manomwe, vanhu vakasafamba, kusvikira Miriami adzoswazve.

¹⁵And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp seven days, and the people hath not journeyed till Miriam is gathered;

¹⁶Shure kwaizvozvo vanhu vakasimuka vakabva Hazeroti, vakandodzika matende avo murenje reParani.

¹⁶and afterwards have the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
