Numeri 12:1-16
12 BoMiriyamu na-Aroni bacala kukhuluma kabi ngaMosi ngenca yemfati longumKushe labemtsetse.+
2 Bebatsi: “Kantsi Jehova ukhuluma asebentisa Mosi kuphela yini? Akasisebentisi yini natsi?”+ Jehova abebalalele.+
3 Mosi abelunge kwendlula bonkhe bantfu*+ lebebasemhlabeni.
4 Ngekushesha Jehova wakhuluma naMosi na-Aroni kanye naMiriyamu, watsi: “Phumani nobatsatfu niye ethendeni lekuhlangana.” Ngako baphuma bobatsatfu.
5 Jehova wehla ngensika yelifu+ wafike wema emnyango welithende lekuhlangana, wabita bo-Aroni naMiriyamu, futsi bobabili basondzela.
6 Watsi kubo: “Ngicela nilalele. Kube bekunemphrofethi waJehova emkhatsini wenu, bengitawutiveta kuye embonweni+ ngiphindze ngikhulume naye ngeliphupho.+
7 Kodvwa akusinjalo ngaMosi inceku yami! Yena ngimphatsise kutsi abuke bonkhe bantfu bami.*+
8 Ngikhuluma naye buso nebuso,*+ naloko lengikushoko ngikubeka ebaleni futsi ngikusho ngemavi lacacile, naJehova uyabonakala kuye. Kungani-ke nibe nesibindzi sekukhuluma kabi ngaMosi inceku yami?”
9 Ngako Jehova wabatfukutselela kakhulu, futsi wabashiya.
10 Lelifu lesuka etikwalelithende lekuhlangana, futsi Miriyamu abesashaywe ngebulephelo lobumhlophe njengelichwa.+ Ngemuva kwaloko Aroni wagucuka wabuka Miriyamu, wamkhandza ashaywe ngesifo sebulephelo.+
11 Ngekushesha Aroni watsi kuMosi: “Ngiyakuncenga nkhosi yami, sicela ungasijezisi ngalesono lesisentile! Loku lesikwentile sikwente ngebulima.
12 Ngicela ungavumi kutsi achubeke anjengeluswane lolutelwe lufile, lolunemtimba lesewubola!”
13 Ngako Mosi wakhala kuJehova watsi: “Awu Nkulunkulu, ngiyakucela, mane umphilise!”+
14 Jehova watsi kuMosi: “Kube babe wakhe abemkhafulele ebusweni, angitsi bekutawuphela emalanga langu-7 ahlazekile? Ngako-ke akakhishwe endzaweni lokuhlalwa kuyo, ahlaliswe yedvwa emalanga langu-7,+ ngemuva kwaloko sekangaphindze abuye.”
15 Miriyamu wakhishwa endzaweni lokuhlalwa kuyo, wahlaliswa yedvwa emalanga langu-7.+ Bantfu abazange basuke kuleyo ndzawo, kwaze kwaba ngulapho kubuya Miriyamu.
16 Ngemuva kwaloko besuka eHaserothi,+ bafike bamisa emathende ehlane lasePharani.+
