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 and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married: for he had married 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 said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And the LORD heard it.

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

Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon 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 the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three came 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, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

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 said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream.

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

My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all mine 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?

with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not 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 the LORD was kindled 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.

And the cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as [white as] snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, 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 Aaron said unto Moses, Oh my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.

12 Aza dia avela ho toy ny maty izy, izay lany ny antsasaky ny nofony, raha vao teraka izy.

Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh 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!

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee.

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 the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.

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

And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

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

And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
