Mga Bilang 12
1 Pagkatapos, nagsalita sina Miriam at Aaron laban kay Moises dahil sa isang babaeng taga-Cus na napangasawa niya.
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife, an Ethiopian,
2 Sinabi nila, “Kay Moises lamang ba nagsalita si Yahweh? Hindi rin ba siya nagsalita sa amin?” Ngayon narinig ni Yahweh kung ano ang kanilang sinabi.
and they said: “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Has he not also spoken similarly to us?” And when the Lord had heard this,
3 Ngayon ang lalaking si Moises ay lubos na mapagpakumbaba, higit pa sa sinuman sa mundo.
(for Moses was a man exceedingly meek, beyond all the men who were living upon the earth)
4 Agad-agad nagsalita si Yahweh kay Moises, Aaron at Miriam: “Lumabas kayong tatlo, sa tolda ng pagpupulong.” Kaya lumabas silang tatlo.
immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Miriam, “Go out, you three only, to the tabernacle of the covenant.” And when they had gone out,
5 Pagkatapos, bumaba si Yahweh sa isang haligi ng ulap. Tumayo siya sa pasukan ng tolda at tinawag sina Aaron at Miriam. Kapwa sila lumapit.
the Lord descended in a column of cloud, and he stood at the entrance of the tabernacle, calling to Aaron and Miriam. And when they had advanced,
6 Sinabi ni Yahweh, “Ngayon makinig kayo sa aking mga salita. Kapag kasama ninyo ang aking propeta, inihahayag ko ang aking sarili sa kaniya sa mga pangitain at nagsasalita ako sa kaniya sa mga panaginip.
he said to them: “Listen to my words. If there will be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him through a dream.
7 Hindi ganyan ang aking lingkod na si Moises. Matapat siya sa lahat ng aking sambahayan.
But it is not so with my servant Moses, who is the most faithful in all my house.
8 Tuwiran akong nagsasalita kay Moises, hindi sa pamamagitan ng mga pangitain o mga bugtong. Nakikita niya ang aking anyo. Kaya bakit hindi kayo takot na magsalita laban sa aking lingkod, laban kay Moises?”
For I speak with him mouth to mouth, and plainly. And not through enigmas and figures does he perceive the Lord. Therefore, why were you not afraid to disparage my servant Moses?”
9 Nag-alab ang galit ni Yahweh laban sa kanila at iniwan niya sila.
And being angry against them, he went away.
10 Pumaitaas ang ulap mula sa ibabaw ng tolda, at biglang naging ketongin si Miriam—pumuti siya kagaya ng niyebe. Nang lumingon si Aaron kay Miriam, nakita niya na nagkaroon siya ng ketong.
Likewise, the cloud which was over the tabernacle withdrew. And behold, Miriam appeared to be white with a leprosy, like snow. And when Aaron had looked upon her, and he had seen the spreading of the leprosy,
11 Sinabi ni Aaron kay Moises, “Oh aking panginoon, pakiusap, huwag mong ipataw ang kasalanang ito laban sa amin. Nagsalita kami nang may kahangalan, at nagkasala kami.
he said to Moses: “I beg you, my lord, not to impose upon us this sin, which we have committed foolishly.
12 Pakiusap huwag siyang hayaang matulad sa isang patay na bagong silang na naubos ang kalahati ng laman nang lumabas mula sa sinapupunan ng kaniyang ina.”
Do not let this one be like one who is dead, or like an abortion that has been cast from the womb of her mother. Behold, half of her flesh is already consumed by leprosy.”
13 Kaya tumawag si Moises kay Yahweh. Sinabi niya, “Pakiusap pagalingin mo siya, oh Diyos, pakiusap.”
And Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “O God, I beg you: heal her.”
14 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Moises, “Kung duraan ng kaniyang ama ang kaniyang mukha, mapapahiya siya sa loob ng pitong araw. Huwag ninyo siyang papasukin sa kampo sa loob ng pitong araw. Pagkatapos nito, papasukin siyang muli.”
And the Lord answered him: “If her father had spit on her face, should she not have been filled with shame for at least seven days? Let her be separated, outside the camp, for seven days, and after that, she will be called back.”
15 Kaya pinanatili si Miriam sa labas ng kampo sa loob ng pitong araw. Hindi naglakbay ang mga tao hanggang sa makabalik siya sa kampo.
And so Miriam was excluded from the camp for seven days. And the people did not move from that place, until Miriam was called back.
16 Pagkatapos nito, naglakbay ang mga tao mula Hazerot at nagkampo sa ilang ng Paran.
And the people set out from Hazeroth, and they pitched their tents in the desert of Paran.
