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

¹And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had taken; for he had taken a Cushite as wife.

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

²And they said, Has Jehovah indeed spoken only to Moses? has he not spoken also to us? And Jehovah heard it.

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

³But the man Moses was very meek, above all men that were upon the face of the earth.

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

⁴Then Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they went out, they three.

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

⁵And Jehovah came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

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

⁶And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak to him in a dream.

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

⁷Not so my servant Moses: he is faithful in all my house.

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

⁸Mouth to mouth do I speak to him openly, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah doth he behold. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

⁹Ipapo kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwakavamukira, iye akabva.

⁹And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he went away;

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

¹⁰and the cloud departed from off the tent. And behold, Miriam was leprous as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

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

¹¹Then Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not this sin upon us, wherein we have been foolish, and have sinned!

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

¹²Let her not be as one stillborn, half of whose flesh is consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.

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

¹³And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, O ùGod, heal her, I beseech thee!

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 said to Moses, But had her father anyways spat in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? She shall be shut outside the camp seven days, and afterwards she shall be received in [again].

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

¹⁵And Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days; and the people did not journey till Miriam was received in [again].

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

¹⁶And afterwards the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
