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.

And Miriam speaks—Aaron also—against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, for he had taken a Cushite woman;

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.

and they say, “Has YHWH only spoken by Moses? Has he not also spoken by us?” And YHWH hears.

3 Ary Mosesy dia lehilahy nalemy fanahy mihoatra noho ny olona rehetra atỳ ambonin’ ny tany.

And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the men who [are] on the face of the ground.

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 YHWH suddenly says to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the Tent of Meeting”; and those three come 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 YHWH comes down in the pillar of the cloud, and stands at the opening of the tent, and calls Aaron and Miriam, and both of them come out.

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.

And He says, “Now hear My words: If your prophet is of YHWH, I make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream.

7 Fa tsy toy izany kosa Mosesy mpanompoko, izay mahatoky amin’ ny tranoko rehetra.

Not so My servant Moses; He [is] steadfast 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 mouth to mouth, Even [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; And he beholds the form of YHWH attentively. Now why have you not been afraid To speak against My servant—against Moses?”

9 Dia nirehitra ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah tamin’ izy mianadahy, ka niala Izy.

And the anger of YHWH burns against them, and He goes on,

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.

and the cloud has turned aside from off the tent, and behold, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turns to Miriam, and behold, leprous!

11 Ary hoy Arona tamin’ i Mosesy: Indrisy, tompoko, masìna ianao, aza atao ho helokay ny nanaovanay adaladala sy ny nanotanay.

And Aaron says to Moses, “O my lord, please do not lay [this] sin on us [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned;

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 as [one] dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his mother—the half of his flesh is consumed.”

13 Ary Mosesy dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra ô, mifona aminao aho, mba sitrano re izy!

And Moses cries to YHWH, saying, “O God, please give healing to her! Please!”

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.

And YHWH says to Moses, “But [if] her father had but spat in her face—is she not ashamed [for] seven days? She is shut out [for] seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterward she is gathered.”

15 Dia natokana tany ivelan’ ny toby hafitoana Miriama; ary ny olona tsy niainga, raha tsy efa nampidirina Miriama.

And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp [for] seven days, and the people have not journeyed until Miriam is gathered;

16 Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia niainga niala tany Hazerota ny olona ka nitoby tany an-efitra Parana.

and afterward the people have journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
