Mga Bilang 12
1 Pagkatapos, nagsalita sina Miriam at Aaron laban kay Moises dahil sa isang babaeng taga-Cus na napangasawa niya.
Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married.
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.
They said, “Has Yahweh spoken only with Moses? Has he not spoken also with us?” Now Yahweh heard what they said.
3 Ngayon ang lalaking si Moises ay lubos na mapagpakumbaba, higit pa sa sinuman sa mundo.
Now the man Moses was very humble, humbler than anyone else on earth.
4 Agad-agad nagsalita si Yahweh kay Moises, Aaron at Miriam: “Lumabas kayong tatlo, sa tolda ng pagpupulong.” Kaya lumabas silang tatlo.
Right away Yahweh spoke to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam: “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” So the three of them went 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.
Then Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud. He stood at the entrance to the tent and called Aaron and Miriam. They both came forward.
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.
Yahweh said, “Now listen to my words. When a prophet of mine is with you, I will reveal myself to him in visions and speak to him in dreams.
7 Hindi ganyan ang aking lingkod na si Moises. Matapat siya sa lahat ng aking sambahayan.
My servant Moses is not like that. He is 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?”
I speak to Moses directly, not with visions or riddles. He sees my form. So why are you unafraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
9 Nag-alab ang galit ni Yahweh laban sa kanila at iniwan niya sila.
Yahweh's anger burned against them, and then he left them.
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.
The cloud rose from over the tent, and Miriam was suddenly leprous—she was as white as snow. When Aaron turned toward Miriam, he saw that she had 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.
Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my master, please do not hold this sin against us. We have spoken foolishly, and we have sinned.
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.”
Please do not let her be like a dead newborn whose flesh is half consumed when it emerges from its mother's womb.”
13 Kaya tumawag si Moises kay Yahweh. Sinabi niya, “Pakiusap pagalingin mo siya, oh Diyos, pakiusap.”
So Moses called out to Yahweh. He said, “Please heal her, God, please.”
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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face, she would be disgraced for seven days. Shut her outside the camp for seven days. After that bring her in again.”
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.
So Miriam was shut outside the camp for seven days. The people did not journey until she had returned to the camp.
16 Pagkatapos nito, naglakbay ang mga tao mula Hazerot at nagkampo sa ilang ng Paran.
After that, the people journeyed from Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
