Numbers 12
1 Miriam and Aaron were critical of Moses because of his Ethiopian wife—he'd married an Ethiopian woman.
Mosi ni Ethiopia tami a yu lah a la kecu dawkvah, Miriam hoi Aron ni Bangdawkmaw Ethiopia tami hah a yu lah a la titeh lairoekhai roi.
2 “Is it only through Moses that the Lord speaks?” they asked. “Doesn't he speak through us too?” The Lord heard all this.
Ahnimouh roi ni Mosi koe dueng maw, BAWIPA ni lawk a dei. Kaimouh koehai dei van hoeh na maw, telah atipouh roi e hah BAWIPA ni a thai.
3 Moses was a very humble man, more than anyone else on earth.
Mosi teh talai van pueng e taminaw hlak kârahnoumpoung e lah ao.
4 All of a sudden the Lord called for Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, telling them, “The three of you, come to the Tent of Meeting.” The three of them did so.
Hahoi, Mosi, Aron hoi Miriam koevah BAWIPA ni kathum touh hoi tâcawt awh. Kamkhuengnae lukkareiim koe tho awh, telah atipouh. Hot patetlah kathum touh hoi a tâco awh.
5 The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood in the entrance to the Tent. He called Aaron and Miriam and they came forward.
BAWIPA ni tâmai khom lahoi a kum teh, kamkhuengnae bawkim takhang koe a kangdue pouh. Aron hoi Miriam a kaw teh, kahni touh hoi hmalah a tâco roi.
6 “Now listen to my words, he told them. If you had prophets, I the Lord would reveal myself to them in visions; I would communicate with them in dreams.
Ahni ni ka lawk hah thai roi haw, nangmouh rahak profet awm pawiteh, ahni teh kai BAWIPA ni vision ka panuesak han, a mang lahoi ka pato han.
7 But it's not like this with my servant Moses, who of all my people is the one who is faithful.
Ka san Mosi teh hot patetlah awm hoeh. Ka imthungnaw pueng kong dawkvah yuemkamcu.
8 I talk to him personally, face to face. I speak plainly, not in riddles. He sees the likeness of the Lord. So why weren't you afraid when you criticized my servant Moses?”
Arulahoi laipalah, minhmai phek kadangka hoi kacaipinlah lawk ka dei pouh. BAWIPA meilam hai a hmu. Hot patetlah bangkongmaw ka san Mosi heh phuenang sin hanlah louk na ngai roi vaw, telah atipouh.
9 The Lord was angry with them, and he left.
Hot patetlah BAWIPA ni ahnimouh roi koe a lungkhuek teh a ceitakhai.
10 As the cloud rose above the Tent, Miriam's skin suddenly turned white with leprosy. Aaron turned to look and saw that she had leprosy.
Hahoi lukkareiim koehoi tâmai a kâtawm teh, khenhaw, Miriam teh tadamtui patetlah a pangaw teh hrikbei lah a coung. Aron ni Miriam hah a khet teh, khenhaw a hrikbei toe hei ati.
11 He said to Moses, “My lord, please don't punish us for this sin that we've so stupidly committed.
Hahoi Aron ni Mosi koevah, Oe ka bawipa, kai koe hete yon heh kamtue sak hanh. Pathu lahoi ka sak teh ka payon toe.
12 Please don't let her become like a stillborn baby whose flesh is already decaying when they're born!”
Tami a manu von kâko hoi a tâco teh, kadout tangcoung e patetlah hete napui hah awm sak hanh telah ati.
13 Moses called out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!”
Mosi teh BAWIPA koevah a hram teh, Oe Cathut pahren lahoi hawi sak haw telah a ratoum.
14 But the Lord replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face wouldn't she have been disgraced for seven days? Keep her in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and then she can be taken back in.”
BAWIPA ni Mosi koevah, na pa ni a minhmai dawk a tamthawi e patenghai hnin sari touh teh kayak mahoeh maw. Roenae alawilah hnin sari touh kâhrawk naseh, hahoi bout kâenkhai awh naseh telah atipouh.
15 Miriam was kept in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was taken back in.
Hot patetlah, Miriam teh roenae alawilah hnin sari touh a kâhro. Miriam a kâenkhai awh hoehroukrak, tamimaya teh cet awh hoeh
16 Then the people left Hazeroth and set up camp in the Desert of Paran.
Hahoi, taminaw teh Hazeroth hoi a kamthaw awh teh, Paran kahrawngum vah a roe awh.
