Oekyuk 12

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

Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

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. (

They said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn’t he spoken also with us?” And the LORD heard it.

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

Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface 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,

The LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came 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,

The LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.

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.

He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet amongst you, I, the LORD, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

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

My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.

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?”

With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see the LORD’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”

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

The LORD’s anger burnt against them; and he departed.

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,

The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at 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.

Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.

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

Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”

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

Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”

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.”

The LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn’t she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.”

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

Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in again.

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

Afterward the people travelled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
