< Resansman 12 >
1 Moyiz te marye ak yon fanm peyi Etiopi. Miryam ak Arawon t'ap pale Moyiz mal sou sa.
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife, an Ethiopian,
2 Yo t'ap di konsa: -Eske se sèlman Moyiz Seyè a te pran pou pale ak pèp la? Eske li pa konn pale ak nou pou pèp la tou? Seyè a tande sa yo t'ap di a.
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 Men Moyiz se yon nonm ki pa t' grandizè. pa t' gen pase l' sou latè.
(for Moses was a man exceedingly meek, beyond all the men who were living upon the earth)
4 Seyè a rete konsa li pale ak Moyiz, Arawon ak Miryam, li di yo: -Nou twa sa yo, soti non. Ale nan Tant Randevou a. Yo twa a ale vre.
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 Seyè a desann nan yon gwo nwaj ki te gen fòm yon poto. Li kanpe nan papòt tant lan, li rele Arawon ak Miryam ki pwoche vin jwenn li.
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 Li di yo konsa: -Tande byen sa m'ap di nou la a. Lè gen yon pwofèt nan mitan nou, se nan vizyon mwen fè l' wè mwen, se nan rèv mwen pale avè l'.
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 Men, se pa menm bagay la ak Moyiz, sèvitè m' lan. Li se sèl moun mwen fè konfyans nan mitan tout pèp la.
But it is not so with my servant Moses, who is the most faithful in all my house.
8 Mwen pale avè l' aklè, mwen pa ba li parabòl. Mwen fè l' wè mwen. Ki jan nou fè penmèt nou pale Moyiz, sèvitè m' lan, mal?
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 Seyè a te fè yon sèl fache sou yo, epi l' ale.
And being angry against them, he went away.
10 Nwaj la leve anwo tant lan, l' ale. Menm lè a, yon sèl maladi tonbe sou Miryam: tout po kò l' vin blanch kou koton. Arawon gade Miryam, li wè Miryam te kouvri ak bouton sou tout po li.
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 Arawon di Moyiz konsa: -Tanpri, mèt mwen. Pa kite nou peye pou sa nou fè a. Tèt nou pa t' la!
he said to Moses: “I beg you, my lord, not to impose upon us this sin, which we have committed foolishly.
12 Tanpri, pa kite Miryam tounen tankou yon tibebe ki fèt tou mouri ak tout mwatye nan kò l' manje.
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 Se konsa, Moyiz rele nan pye Bondye, li di l' konsa: -Bondye, tanpri, geri l' non!
And Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “O God, I beg you: heal her.”
14 Men, Seyè a di Moyiz: -Si se te papa l' ki te krache nan figi l', li t'ap blije pote wont la pandan sèt jou, pa vre? Enben, se pou yo fèmen l' pou kont li pandan sèt jou yon kote andeyò limit kan an. Apre sa, y'a kite l' tounen.
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 Yo fèmen Miryam pou kont li pandan sèt jou yon kote andeyò limit kan an. Pèp la pa t' leve pati toutotan yo pa t' kite Miryam tounen nan kan an ankò.
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 Apre sa, pèp la kite Azewòt kote yo te ye a, yo pati al moute tant yo nan dezè Paran an.
And the people set out from Hazeroth, and they pitched their tents in the desert of Paran.
