Nomery 12
1 Ary Miriama sy Arona niteny nanome tsiny an’ i Mosesy noho ny vehivavy Kosita izay efa nampakariny; fa efa nampakatra vehivavy Kosita izy.
Then Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a Cushite wife.
2 Dia hoy izy mianadahy: Moa Mosesy ihany va no efa nitenenan’ i Jehovah? tsy izahay koa va no nitenenany? Dia ren’ i Jehovah izany.
“Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.
3 Ary Mosesy dia lehilahy nalemy fanahy mihoatra noho ny olona rehetra atỳ ambonin’ ny tany.
Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.
4 Ary Jehovah dia niteny tampoka tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ary Miriama hoe: Mivoaha ianareo telo mianadahy ho any amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana. Dia nivoaka izy telo mianadahy.
And suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three went out,
5 Ary andri-rahona no nidinan’ i Jehovah, ka nitsangana teo am-baravaran’ ny trano-lay Izy; dia niantso an’ i Arona sy Miriama Izy, ka nivoaka izy mianadahy.
and the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had stepped forward,
6 Dia hoy Izy: Mba mihainoa ny teniko: Raha misy mpaminanin’ i Jehovah eo aminareo, dia amin’ ny fahitana no hisehoako aminy, ary amin’ ny nofy no hitenenako aminy.
He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.
7 Fa tsy toy izany kosa Mosesy mpanompoko, izay mahatoky amin’ ny tranoko rehetra.
But this is not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.
8 Mifanatrika no itenenako aminy, dia amin’ ny fahitana, fa tsy amin’ ny teny saro-pantarina, ary mijery ny endrik’ i Jehovah izy; ka nahoana ianareo no tsy natahotra hanome tsiny an’ i Mosesy mpanompoko?
I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?”
9 Dia nirehitra ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah tamin’ izy mianadahy, ka niala Izy.
So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.
10 Ary ny rahona niala tamin’ ny trano-lay; ary, indro, boka Miriama ka fotsy tahaka ny oram-panala; ary Arona dia nijery an’ i Miriama, ka indro fa boka izy.
As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous,
11 Ary hoy Arona tamin’ i Mosesy: Indrisy, tompoko, masìna ianao, aza atao ho helokay ny nanaovanay adaladala sy ny nanotanay.
and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.
12 Aza dia avela ho toy ny maty izy, izay lany ny antsasaky ny nofony, raha vao teraka izy.
Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
13 Ary Mosesy dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra ô, mifona aminao aho, mba sitrano re izy!
So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”
14 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Raha nandrora tamin’ ny tavany rainy, moa tsy ho menatra hafitoana va izy? koa atokàny any ivelan’ ny toby hafitoana izy, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia ampidiro indray.
But the LORD answered Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”
15 Dia natokana tany ivelan’ ny toby hafitoana Miriama; ary ny olona tsy niainga, raha tsy efa nampidirina Miriama.
So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought in again.
16 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia niainga niala tany Hazerota ny olona ka nitoby tany an-efitra Parana.
After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
