< Numbers 12 >

1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
Pea naʻe lea fakamamahi ʻa Miliame mo ʻElone kia Mōsese, koeʻuhi ko e fefine ʻItiopea naʻa na fakamaʻu: he naʻa ne fakamaʻu mo e fefine ʻItiopea.
2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it].
Pea naʻa na pehē, “He kuo folofola ʻa Sihova ʻia Mōsese pe? Ka kuo ʻikai folofola foki ia ʻiate kimaua?” Pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Sihova.
3 (Now the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men which [were] upon the face of the earth.)
(Pea ko eni, ko e tangata ko Mōsese naʻe angavaivai ia, ʻo lahi hake ʻi he kau tangata kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.)
4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.
Pea naʻe folofola fakafokifā ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, pea mo ʻElone, pea mo Miliame, “Mou haʻu ʻakimoutolu ko e toko tolu ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae toko tolu ko ia.
5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ʻi he pou ʻoe ʻao, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea naʻa ne ui ia kia ʻElone mo Miliame: pea naʻa na ʻomi kituʻa fakatouʻosi.
6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Mo fanongo eni ki heʻeku lea: Kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ha taha ʻoku kikite, Ko au ko Sihova te u, fakahā au kiate ia ʻi he meʻa hā mai, pe te u lea kiate ia ʻi he misi.
7 My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all mine house.
Ka ʻoku taha kehe ʻa Mōsese ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki: ʻoku angatonu ia ʻi hoku fale kotoa pē.
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Te ma lea fakataha mo ia mo ngutu taha, ʻi he fakahā, kae ʻikai ʻi he lea heliaki; pea ʻe mamata ia ki he hā mai ʻo Sihova: pea ko ia, ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai te mo manavahē ai ke lea fakamamahi ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese?”
9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
Pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kiate kinaua; pea naʻe hāʻele atu ia.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam [became] leprous, [white] as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, [she was] leprous.
Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ʻao mei he fale fehikitaki, pea vakai, naʻe hoko ʻa Miliame ko e kilia hina ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina: pea naʻe sio ʻa ʻElone kia Miliame, pea vakai kuo kilia ia.
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻElone kia Mōsese, “ʻOiauē, ʻeku ʻeiki, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻae angahala kiate kimaua ʻaia kuo ma fai vale ai, pea mo ia ʻoku ma angahala ai.
12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.
‌ʻOua naʻa tuku ia ke ne hangē ko e tokotaha kuo mate, pe ha taha kuo popo hono kakano ʻi heʻene haʻu mei he fatu ʻo ʻene faʻē.”
13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
Pea naʻe tangi ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻOtua ʻoku ou kole ki hoʻo ʻafio, ke ke fakamoʻui leva ia.”
14 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in [again].
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Kapau ne kuo ʻaʻanu ʻa ʻene tamai ki hono mata ʻikai ʻe ma ia he ʻaho ʻe fitu? Tuku ke tāpuni kiate ia ʻae ʻapitanga, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea ka hili ia, tuku ke toe haʻu ia ki ai.”
15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].
Pea naʻe kapusi ʻa Miliame mei he ʻapitanga, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu: pea naʻe ʻikai kei fononga ʻae kakai kaeʻoua ke toe ʻomi ʻa Miliame.
16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
Pea hili ia naʻe hiki ʻae kakai mei Heseloti, ʻonau nofo ʻi he toafa ʻo Palani.
