Minbu 12
1 Hazeroth muna aum laijun, Mose in Cush a kon numei khat akichenpi jeh in Miriam le Aaron chun ama demna thu aseilhontai.
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife, an Ethiopian,
2 Amani hiti hin asei lhon in, “Pakai chu Mose henga bou kilah thei ham? Eini heng a jong hung ki lahdoh hung kilah hilouham?” atilhon e. Hilah amani thusei chu Pakaiyin ajasoh kei in ahi.
and they said: “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Has he not also spoken similarly to us?” And when the Lord had heard this,
3 (Mose chu akineosah lheh jeng in ahi- Leiset a akineosahpen pa sang in akineosah joh nalai in ahi).
(for Moses was a man exceedingly meek, beyond all the men who were living upon the earth)
4 Hichun gang tah in Pakaiyin Mose, Aaron chule Miriam chu akouloi in hitin asei peh tai, “Nathum un Houbuh lama gache taovin” ati, hichun amaho thum in jong hilam chu ajon tauvin ahi.
immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Miriam, “Go out, you three only, to the tabernacle of the covenant.” And when they had gone out,
5 Chuin Pathen chu meilom in ahung kumlhan houbuh lutna a chun ading den in, “Aaron leh Miriam” tin ahinkou in ahileh, amaninjong ahin nailut lhon in ahi.
the Lord descended in a column of cloud, and he stood at the entrance of the tabernacle, calling to Aaron and Miriam. And when they had advanced,
6 Chu in Pathen in ahoulim pilhon in tuhin ka thusei hohi ngailhon in: “Nangma ho lah’a themgao um ahileh, Keima, Pakaiyin, gaova kaki phon tah hih ding ham. Ahilouleh manga kaki houlim pi ding ahi tai, ati.
he said to them: “Listen to my words. If there will be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him through a dream.
7 Hinlah kasohpa Mose vang hitobang chu ahipoi, Ka insung pumpi a amahi katahsan pentah ahi.
But it is not so with my servant Moses, who is the most faithful in all my house.
8 Keima amatoh gaophelphul hilouva kichentah kimaingat toa kihoulim kahi lhon e! Aman Pakai chu ahina bang tah a amu ahi. Chiti ahileh idia kasohpa Mose dem ding kicha lou nahivem?
For I speak with him mouth to mouth, and plainly. And not through enigmas and figures does he perceive the Lord. Therefore, why were you not afraid to disparage my servant Moses?”
9 Pakai chu amaho chunga chun alunghang lheh jeng tan, a dalha lhon tai.
And being angry against them, he went away.
10 Houbuh chunga meilhang akitol toh lhon in, Miriam chu ading in, Tiphah natna jeh chun avun chu buhbang bang in abang tan ahi. Aaron in Miriam chunga thilsoh ijakai amusoh phat in,
Likewise, the cloud which was over the tabernacle withdrew. And behold, Miriam appeared to be white with a leprosy, like snow. And when Aaron had looked upon her, and he had seen the spreading of the leprosy,
11 Mose henga akaptan, “Oh! kapu hiche ngolhoitah chonsetna kana boldoh jeh lhon in gotna neipelhon hih beh in.
he said to Moses: “I beg you, my lord, not to impose upon us this sin, which we have committed foolishly.
12 Amanu jong hi naosen athisa a hung peng, apen lhah lhah a amonsa bang in koi hih beh in,” ati.
Do not let this one be like one who is dead, or like an abortion that has been cast from the womb of her mother. Behold, half of her flesh is already consumed by leprosy.”
13 Hichun Mose Pakai anga a akapjah jeng tan, “O Pakai, katao ahi, lung set tah in amanu hi damsah tan!” ati.
And Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “O God, I beg you: heal her.”
14 Ahin Pakaiyin Mose jah a seitan, “Amanu hi apa chun achil aset khum hitaleh, ni sagi sung chu aboh a um a jum le ja athoh lou ding ham? hijeh chun amanu hi ngahmun pamlamma nisagi sung koidoh un lang, chujou teng lah lut kit thei hiding ahi” ati.
And the Lord answered him: “If her father had spit on her face, should she not have been filled with shame for at least seven days? Let her be separated, outside the camp, for seven days, and after that, she will be called back.”
15 Hiti chun Miriam chu ngahmun pam lamah ni sagi aumsah un, chuleh akitol kit masang un, amanu chu ngahmun sung nga ahung kit ding chu mipiho chun angah un ahi.
And so Miriam was excluded from the camp for seven days. And the people did not move from that place, until Miriam was called back.
16 Hitichun Hazeroth adalha tauvin ache peh un Paran gamthip munkhat a ngahmun khat akisemkit tauvin ahi.
And the people set out from Hazeroth, and they pitched their tents in the desert of Paran.
