Lampahnah 12

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

Then Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a Cushite 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.

“Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.

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

Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the 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, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three 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, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had stepped forward,

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.

He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.

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

But this is not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful 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.

I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?”

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

So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.

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.

As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous,

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

and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.

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.

Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”

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

So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”

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.

But the LORD answered Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”

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 confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought in again.

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

After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
