12 ¹Miriam and Aaron begin talk against Moses because of di Cushite woman wey e don marry—e don marry Cushite woman. ²Dem talk say, “Na only through Moses our Papa don talk? E no don talk through us too?” And our Papa hear am.

³Now dis man Moses na person wey humble well-well, pass anybody for di whole face of di earth.

⁴One time so, our Papa tell Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, all of una three, come di tent of meeting.” Di three of dem come out.

⁵Den our Papa come down inside pillar of cloud, stand for di tent door, call Aaron and Miriam, and di two of dem come forward.

⁶E talk say, “Hear my words: if prophet dey among una, Me, una Papa, I dey show mysef to am inside vision, I dey talk to am inside dream. ⁷E no be so with my servant Moses; e dey faithful for all my house. ⁸With am I dey talk mouth to mouth, clear-clear and no be inside proverb, and e dey see di form of our Papa. So why una no fear to talk against my servant Moses?”

⁹So di anger of our Papa burn against dem, and E comot.

¹⁰When di cloud lift comot from ontop di tent, see Miriam—sickness don catch am, e white like snow. Aaron turn look Miriam, and see am—sickness don catch am. ¹¹Aaron tell Moses, “Abeg, my oga, no hold di sin of our foolishness and di wrong wey we do against us. ¹²No let am be like pikin wey die for belle, wey im body don half rotten as e comot from im mama belle.”

¹³So Moses cry out to our Papa, “Abeg, my Papa, abeg heal am!”

¹⁴But our Papa tell Moses, “If na im papa spit for im face, e no go shame for seven days? Lock am outside di camp for seven days; after dat bring am come back.”

¹⁵Dem lock Miriam outside di camp for seven days; di people no move until dem bring am come back. ¹⁶After dat di people comot from Hazeroth and camp for di Wilderness of Paran.
