Lampahnah 12

1 Moses loh Kushi nu a loh vanbangla a loh Kushi nu kah a kongmai dongah Miriam neh Aaron loh a thet.

Now Miriam and Aaron said evil against Moses, because of the Cushite woman to whom he was married, for he had taken a Cushite woman as his wife.

2 Te vaengah, “Moses lamlong bueng a BOEIPA loh a thui eh? Mamih rhoi lamlong khaw thui mahpawt nim?” a ti rhoi vaengah BOEIPA loh a yaak.

And they said, Have the words of the Lord been given to Moses only? have they not come to us? And the Lord took note of it.

3 Tedae Moses tah a kodo uet ah diklai hman kah hlang boeih lakah kodo tangkik hlang la om.

Now the man Moses was more gentle than any other man on earth.

4 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah khaw Miriam taengah khaw, “Nangmih pathum te tingtunnah dap la ha lo uh,” thaeng a ti nah tih a pathum la cet uh.

And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and Aaron and Miriam, Come out, you three, to the Tent of meeting. And the three of them went out.

5 Te vaengah BOEIPA te cingmai tung la suntla tih dap thohka ah pai. Te phoeiah Aaron neh Miriam te a khue tih amih rhoi thoeih rhoi.

And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, taking his place at the door of the Tent, and made Aaron and Miriam come before him.

6 Te phoeiah, “Kai ol he hnatun rhoi laeh, nangmih kah tonghma om koinih, BOEIPA he anih taengah mangthuinah neh mueimang ah ka phoe vetih anih te ka voek pawnko.

And he said, Now give ear to my words: if there is a prophet among you I will give him knowledge of myself in a vision and will let my words come to him in a dream.

7 Ka sal Moses tah te moenih, ka imkhui pum ah anih tah a uepom ta.

My servant Moses is not so; he is true to me in all my house:

8 Ka ka dongkah olka te anih taengah ka thui vaengah a hmuethma khaw olkael a om moenih. BOEIPA muei a paelki vaengah he balae tih ka sal Moses taengah cal ham khaw na rhih pawh?” a ti nah.

With him I will have talk mouth to mouth, openly and not in dark sayings; and with his eyes he will see the form of the Lord: why then had you no fear of saying evil against my servant Moses?

9 BOEIPA kah thintoek te amih rhoi taengah sai tih cet.

And burning with wrath against them, the Lord went away.

10 Te phoeiah cingmai te dap so lamloh nong. Te vaengah Miriam te vuelsong bangla pahuk tih Aaron te Miriam taengla a mael vaengah tarha ana pahuk coeng.

And the cloud was moved from over the Tent; and straight away Miriam became a leper, as white as snow: and Aaron, looking at Miriam, saw that she was a leper.

11 Aaron loh Moses te, “Aw ka boeipa, kaimih rhoi soah tholh han dueh mai boeh, ka nga rhoi tih ka tholh oeh te.

Then Aaron said to Moses, O my lord, let not our sin be on our heads, for we have done foolishly and are sinners.

12 A manu bung lamloh a thoeng vaengah a saa rhakthuem a caak pah vaengkah a duek bangla om mai boel saeh,” a ti nah.

Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half wasted when he comes out from the body of his mother.

13 Te dongah Moses te BOEIPA taengah pang tih, “Pathen aw anih he hoeih sak mai laeh,” a ti nah.

And Moses, crying to the Lord, said, Let my prayer come before you, O God, and make her well.

14 BOEIPA loh Moses te, “A napa loh a maelhmai ah a timthoeih la a timthoeih coeng atah hnin rhih a hmaithae mahpawt nim? Rhaehhmuen lamloh vongvoel ah hnin rhih om saeh lamtah khue mai saeh,” a ti nah.

And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had put a mark of shame on her, would she not be shamed for seven days? Let her be shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days, and after that she may come in again.

15 Te dongah Miriam te rhaehhmuen vongvoel ah hnin rhih a khoh uh tih Miriam a mael duela pilnam khaw cet pawh.

So Miriam was shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days: and the people did not go forward on their journey till Miriam had come in again.

16 Te phoeiah pilnam te Hazeroth lamloh cet tih Paran khosoek ah rhaeh uh.

After that, the people went on from Hazeroth and put up their tents in the waste land of Paran.
