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.
O HUMU ae la o Miriama laua o Aarona i ke ku e ia Mose, no ka wahine Aitiopa ana i lawe ai: no ka mea, ua lawe in i wahine no Aitiopa nana.
I ae la laua, Ma o Mose la wale no anei ka Iehova olelo ana mai? Aole anei ia i olelo ma o kaua nei kekahi? A lohe mai la o Iehova.
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].
(A o ua kanaka la o Mose, ua oi aku kona akahai mamua o ko na kanaka a pau maluna o ka honua.)
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.
Olelo koke mai la o Iehova ia Mose me Aarona a me Miriama, E hele mai oukou a ekolu i ka halelewa anaina. A hele aku la lakou a ekolu.
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.
Iho iho la o Iehova maloko o ke kia ao, ku mai la ia ma ka puka o ka halelowa, kahea mai la ia Aarona laua o Miriama; a hele aku la laua.
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.
Olelo mai la ia, E hoolohe mai olua i ka'u olelo: A i noho kekahi kaula iwaena o oukou, owau o Iehova e hoike aku ia'u iho ia ia ma ka hihio, a e olelo aku no wau ia ia ma ka moeuhane.
7 But that is not the way I speak to my servant Moses. I trust that he will lead my people [well].
Aole nae pela ka'u kauwa o Mose, ka mea malama pono ma ko'u hale a pau.
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!”
E olelo aku ana au me ia he waha no he waha, ma ka mea akaka, aole ma ka olelonane: a e ike mai no ia i ke aka o Iehova: no ke aha la hoi i makau ole ai olua i ka ohumu aku i kuu kauwa ia Mose?
9 Yahweh was very angry with Miriam and Aaron, and he left.
Hoaia mai la ka inaina o Iehova ia laua, a hoi aku la ia.
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.
A hoi hou aku la ke ao maluna aku o ka halelewa; aia hoi, ua lepers o Miriama me he hau la: nana aku la o Aarona ia Miriama, aia hoi, ua lepera ia.
11 Aaron said to Moses/me, “My master, please do not punish us for this sin that we have foolishly committed.
I aku la o Aarona ia Mose, Auwe! e kuu haku, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, mai kau mai oe i keia hewa maluna o maua, i kahi a maua i hana lapuwale ai, a ua hana hewa malaila.
12 Do not allow Miriam to be like a baby that is already dead when it is born, whose flesh is already half decayed!”
Mai waiho wale ia ia me he mea make la, me he mea la i pala kona io i ka wa o kona puka ana mai iwaho o ka opu o kona makuwahine.
13 So Moses/I cried out to Yahweh, saying, “God, I plead with you to heal her!”
Kahea aku la o Mose ia Iehova, i aku la, E ke Akua e, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e hoola mai oe ia ia.
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.”
I mai la o Iehova ia Mose, Ina paha i kuha wale aku kona makuakane i kona maka, aole anei i hoohilahilaia oia i na la ehiku? E kipakuia oia iwaho o kahi hoomoana i na la ehiku, a mahope iho e hookipaia mai ia iloko.
15 So they sent her outside the camp for seven days. (The people/We) did not move [to another location] until she returned.
A ua kipakuia o Miriama iwaho o kahi hoomoana i na la ehiku; aole ka poe kanaka i hele, a hoi hou mai o Miriama maloko.
16 But after [she returned], they/we left Hazeroth and moved [north] in the Paran Desert and set up their/our tents there.
A mahope iho, neenee aku la ka poe kanaka mai Hazerota aku, a kukulu hou iho la ma ka waouahele o Parana.
