Numbers 12
1 [Moses’/My older sister] Miriam and [his/my older brother] Aaron were saying this: “Is Moses the only one to whom Yahweh has spoken messages to tell to us [RHQ]? Does Yahweh not speak messages to us two also?” [They told people that] they were saying that because Moses/I had married a woman who was a descendant of the Cush people-group, [but they were really saying that because they (were jealous/did not want Moses/me to be the only leader of the Israeli people)]. But Yahweh heard what they were saying.
Marie avèk Aaron te vin pale kont Moïse akoz fanm Koushit ke li te marye a; paske li te marye avèk yon fanm Koushit;
Konsa, yo te di: “Èske SENYÈ a vrèman te pale sèlman ak Moïse? Èske Li pa t pale ak nou menm tou?” Epi SENYÈ a te tande sa.
3 [The truth was that] Moses/I was very humble. He/I was more humble than anyone else on the earth [and Moses/I had not appointed himself/myself to be their leader].
Alò, nonm Moïse la te trè enb, plis pase tout moun ki te sou sifas latè a.
4 So immediately Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and to Aaron and Miriam. He said, “All three of you must go and stand at the Sacred Tent.” So they/we did that.
Sibitman, SENYÈ a te di a Moïse ak Aaron avèk Marie: “Nou twa a, vin sòti nan tant asanble a”. Alò, yo twa a te sòti.
5 Then Yahweh descended to the entrance of the tent in a cloud [that resembled a huge white] pillar. He told Aaron and Miriam to step forward, so they did.
Epi SENYÈ a te desann nan yon pilye nwaj. Li te kanpe nan pòtay tant asanble a, e Li te rele Aaron avèk Marie. Yo toude te vin avanse.
6 Then he said to them, “Listen to me! When a prophet is among you, I [usually] reveal myself to him by allowing him to see visions, and I speak to him in dreams.
Li te di: “Koute pawòl Mwen koulye a: Si gen yon pwofèt pami nou, Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen va fè Mwen menm vin rekonèt a li menm nan yon vizyon. Mwen va pale avèk li nan yon rèv.
7 But that is not the way I speak to my servant Moses. I trust that he will lead my people [well].
Se pa konsa avèk sèvitè Mwen, Moïse. Li fidèl nan tout kay Mwen;
8 So I talk to him face-to-face. I speak to him (clearly/using words that he will understand easily), not using parables. He has even seen what I look like. So you should be afraid to criticize my servant Moses!”
Avèk li, Mwen pale bouch a bouch, byen klè, pa nan pawòl parabòl, epi li wè fòm SENYÈ a menm. Poukisa, konsa, nou pa t pè pou pale kont sèvitè Mwen an, kont Moïse?”
9 Yahweh was very angry with Miriam and Aaron, and he left.
Epi kòlè SENYÈ a te brile kont yo, e Li te pati.
10 When the cloud rose up from the Sacred Tent, Aaron looked at Miriam, and he saw that her skin was [as white] as snow, because she now had leprosy.
Lè nwaj la te kite tant lan, vwala, Marie te gen lalèp, blan tankou lanèj. Epi lè Aaron te gade, alò, Marie te gen lalèp.
11 Aaron said to Moses/me, “My master, please do not punish us for this sin that we have foolishly committed.
Aaron te di Moïse: “O senyè Mwen an! Mwen mande ou souple, pa konte peche sa a kont nou, nan sila nou te aji avèk foli a, ak nan sila nou te peche a.
12 Do not allow Miriam to be like a baby that is already dead when it is born, whose flesh is already half decayed!”
O Pa kite chè Marie rete kòm yon timoun ki fenk fèt mouri, ki sòti nan vant manman li avèk chè li mwatye manje!”
13 So Moses/I cried out to Yahweh, saying, “God, I plead with you to heal her!”
Moïse te kriye fò bay SENYÈ a. Li te di: “O Bondye, geri li, mwen priye Ou!”
14 But Yahweh replied, “If her father had [rebuked her for doing something wrong by] spitting in her face, she would have been ashamed for seven days. [She should be ashamed because of what she has done]. So send her outside the camp for seven days. Then [she will not have leprosy any more, and] she may return to the camp.”
Men SENYÈ a te reponn Moïse: “Si papa li te sèlman krache nan figi li, èske li pa t ap pote wont li pandan sèt jou? Kite li rete fèmen pandan sèt jou deyò kan an. Apre, l ap kapab rantre ankò.”
15 So they sent her outside the camp for seven days. (The people/We) did not move [to another location] until she returned.
Konsa Marie te fèmen deyò kan an pandan sèt jou, e pèp la pa t deplase jiskaske Marie te vin rantre ankò.
16 But after [she returned], they/we left Hazeroth and moved [north] in the Paran Desert and set up their/our tents there.
Apre sa a, pèp la te deplase kite Hatséroth pou te fè kan nan dezè Paran an.
