Oekyuk 12

1 Moses el tuh payukyak sin sie mutan Cush. Miriam ac Aaron kaskas in akkolukyal Moses kac.

And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, on account of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for an Ethiopian woman had he married.

2 Eltal fahk, “Mea, LEUM GOD El kaskas nu sin mwet uh sel Moses mukena? Ya El tia kaskas pac kacsr?” LEUM GOD El lohng ma eltal fahk. (

And they said, Hath then only with Moses the Lord spoken? hath he not also spoken with us? And the Lord heard it.

3 Moses el mwet na fakpap se, yohk liki kutena mwet fin faclu.)

(But the man Moses was very meek, more so than any man who was upon the face of the earth.)

4 In kitin pacl ah na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel Moses, Aaron, ac Miriam, “Nga lungse komtal kewa in tuku nu ke Lohm Nuknuk Mutal sik.” Na eltal som,

And the Lord said suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Go out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation; and these three went out.

5 ac LEUM GOD El oatui in sie sru in pukunyeng, ac tu ke nien utyak lun Lohm Nuknuk Mutal. El pangnol Aaron ac Miriam, na eltal kalukyang,

And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.

6 ac LEUM GOD El fahk, “Lohng ma nga ac fahk inge! Ke pacl oasr mwet palu inmasrlowos, nga sifacna fahkyuyak nu selos ke aruruma, ac nga kaskas nu selos in mweme.

And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet of your kind, I, the Lord, do make myself known unto him in a vision, in a dream do I speak with him.

7 Tusruktu tia ouinge ke nga kaskas nu sel Moses, mwet kulansap luk. Nga srisrngilya elan kol mwet Israel nukewa luk.

Not so is my servant Moses, in all my house is he faithful.

8 Ke ma inge pacl nga kaskas nu sel kut ngetani na sramsram lemtulauk, ac tia ke kas lukma. El liye tari lumuk! Na fuka tuh komtal ku in kaskas lainul Moses, mwet kulansap luk?”

Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord doth he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

9 LEUM GOD El kasrkusrakak seltal; ouinge ke El som lukeltal

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he went away.

10 ac pukunyeng sac sowak liki Lohm Nuknuk Mutal, Miriam el musen lepayak, ac manol fasrfasrla oana snow. Na ke Aaron el ngetang liye lah Miriam el lepa lac,

And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

11 el fahk nu sel Moses, “Leum luk, nunak munas, nimet kalyei kut ke ma koluk lalfon se lasr.

Then said Aaron unto Moses, Alas, my Lord, do not, I beseech thee, account to us as sin that wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

12 Nikmet lela Miriam elan oana sie tulik su isusla misa, su tafu ikwal mongola.”

Let her not be as a dead-born child, of which half the flesh is consumed, when it cometh out of its mother's womb.

13 Ke ma inge Moses el wowoyak tung nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, “O God, akkeyala mutan se inge!”

And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, O God! do thou heal her, I beseech thee.

14 LEUM GOD El topuk, “Papa tumal funu aniya mutal, na el lukun muta in mwekin lal len itkosr. Ke ma inge lela elan muta likin nien aktuktuk uh len itkosr, na toko ac ku in folokinyukme el.”

And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up seven days outside of the camp, and after that let her be brought in again.

15 Miriam el muta likin nien aktuktuk len itkosr, ac mwet uh tiana mukuiyak nwe ke na folokinyukme el.

And Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days; and the people did not set forward till Miriam was brought in again.

16 Toko elos fahsr liki acn Hazeroth, ac tulokunak nien aktuktuk selos in acn mwesis lun Paran.

And afterward the people removed from Chazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
