Numerus 12
1 Unya si Miriam ug si Aaron misulti batok kang Moises tungod sa Cuhitihanon nga babaye nga iyang giminyoan.
[Moses’/My older sister] Miriam and [his/my older brother] Aaron were saying this: “Is Moses the only one to whom Yahweh has spoken messages to tell to us [RHQ]? Does Yahweh not speak messages to us two also?” [They told people that] they were saying that because Moses/I had married a woman who was a descendant of the Cush people-group, [but they were really saying that because they (were jealous/did not want Moses/me to be the only leader of the Israeli people)]. But Yahweh heard what they were saying.
2 Miingon sila, “Nakigsulti lang ba si Yahweh kang Moises? Wala ba usab siya nakigsulti kanato?” Karon nadungog ni Yahweh ang ilang giingon.
3 Karon ang tawo nga si Moises usa ka mapainubsanon, mapainubsanon kay kang bisan kinsa nga anaa sa kalibotan.
[The truth was that] Moses/I was very humble. He/I was more humble than anyone else on the earth [and Moses/I had not appointed himself/myself to be their leader].
4 Dihadiha misulti si Yahweh kang Moises, kang Aaron, ug kang Miriam: “Gawas, kamong tulo, ngadto sa tolda nga tagboanan.” Busa ang tulo migawas.
So immediately Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and to Aaron and Miriam. He said, “All three of you must go and stand at the Sacred Tent.” So they/we did that.
5 Unya mikanaog si Yahweh diha sa haligi nga panganod. Mitindog siya sa ganghaan sa tolda ug gitawag si Aaron ug si Miriam. Silang duha mipaduol.
Then Yahweh descended to the entrance of the tent in a cloud [that resembled a huge white] pillar. He told Aaron and Miriam to step forward, so they did.
6 Miingon si Yahweh, “Karon paminawa ang akong mga pulong. Sa dihang ang akong propeta uban kaninyo, ipakita ko ang akong kaugalingon kaniya diha sa mga panan-awon ug mosulti kaniya diha sa mga damgo.
Then he said to them, “Listen to me! When a prophet is among you, I [usually] reveal myself to him by allowing him to see visions, and I speak to him in dreams.
7 Ang akong sulugoon nga si Moises dili sama niana. Matinud-anon siya sa tibuok nakong panimalay.
But that is not the way I speak to my servant Moses. I trust that he will lead my people [well].
8 Ako mismo nagkigsulti kang Moises, dili sa mga panan-awon o mga tigmo. Nakita niya ang akong hulagway. Busa nganong wala kamo mahadlok sa pagsulti ug batok sa akong sulugoon, batok kang Moises?”
So I talk to him face-to-face. I speak to him (clearly/using words that he will understand easily), not using parables. He has even seen what I look like. So you should be afraid to criticize my servant Moses!”
9 Ang kasuko ni Yahweh misilaob batok kanila, ug unya mibiya siya kanila.
Yahweh was very angry with Miriam and Aaron, and he left.
10 Ang panganod mipataas sa tolda, ug si Miriam sa kalit gitakboyan ug sangla—niputi siya sama sa nyibe. Sa dihang milingi si Aaron kang Miriam, nakita niya nga kini nahimong sanglahon.
When the cloud rose up from the Sacred Tent, Aaron looked at Miriam, and he saw that her skin was [as white] as snow, because she now had leprosy.
11 Si Aaron miingon kang Moises, “O akong agalon, palihog ayaw kupti kining sala batok kanamo. Nagsulti kami ug buangbuang, ug nakasala kami.
Aaron said to Moses/me, “My master, please do not punish us for this sin that we have foolishly committed.
12 Palihog ayaw itugot nga mamahimo siyang sama sa patay nga bag-ong anak nga ang unod halos gilamoy sa dihang migula kini gikan sa tagoangkan sa inahan.”
Do not allow Miriam to be like a baby that is already dead when it is born, whose flesh is already half decayed!”
13 Busa nagpakitabang si Moises kang Yahweh. Miingon siya, “Palihog ayoha siya, O Dios, palihog.”
So Moses/I cried out to Yahweh, saying, “God, I plead with you to heal her!”
14 Miingon si Yahweh kang Moises, “Kung giluwaan sa iyang amahan ang iyang nawong, maulawan siya sulod sa pito ka adlaw. Ipagawas siya sa kampo sulod sa pito ka adlaw. Human niana dad-a siya sa sulod pag-usab.”
But Yahweh replied, “If her father had [rebuked her for doing something wrong by] spitting in her face, she would have been ashamed for seven days. [She should be ashamed because of what she has done]. So send her outside the camp for seven days. Then [she will not have leprosy any more, and] she may return to the camp.”
15 Busa gibutang si Miriam gawas sa kampo sulod sa pito ka adlaw. Ang katawhan wala nanglakaw hangtod nga nakabalik siya sa kampo.
So they sent her outside the camp for seven days. (The people/We) did not move [to another location] until she returned.
16 Human niana, ang katawhan nanglakaw gikan sa Hazerot ug mikampo sa kamingawan sa Paran.
But after [she returned], they/we left Hazeroth and moved [north] in the Paran Desert and set up their/our tents there.
