Nomipā 12

1 Pea naʻe lea fakamamahi ʻa Miliame mo ʻElone kia Mōsese, koeʻuhi ko e fefine ʻItiopea naʻa na fakamaʻu: he naʻa ne fakamaʻu mo e fefine ʻItiopea.

Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

2 Pea naʻa na pehē, “He kuo folofola ʻa Sihova ʻia Mōsese pe? Ka kuo ʻikai folofola foki ia ʻiate kimaua?” Pea naʻe fanongo ki ai ʻa Sihova.

They said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Has not he spoken also with us?” And the LORD heard it.

3 (Pea ko eni, ko e tangata ko Mōsese naʻe angavaivai ia, ʻo lahi hake ʻi he kau tangata kotoa pē naʻe ʻi he funga ʻo māmani.)

Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.

4 Pea naʻe folofola fakafokifā ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, pea mo ʻElone, pea mo Miliame, “Mou haʻu ʻakimoutolu ko e toko tolu ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.” Pea naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae toko tolu ko ia.

The LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.

5 Pea naʻe hāʻele hifo ʻa Sihova ʻi he pou ʻoe ʻao, ʻo ne tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale fehikitaki, pea naʻa ne ui ia kia ʻElone mo Miliame: pea naʻa na ʻomi kituʻa fakatouʻosi.

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 forward.

6 Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Mo fanongo eni ki heʻeku lea: Kapau ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ha taha ʻoku kikite, Ko au ko Sihova te u, fakahā au kiate ia ʻi he meʻa hā mai, pe te u lea kiate ia ʻi he misi.

He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

7 Ka ʻoku taha kehe ʻa Mōsese ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki: ʻoku angatonu ia ʻi hoku fale kotoa pē.

My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.

8 Te ma lea fakataha mo ia mo ngutu taha, ʻi he fakahā, kae ʻikai ʻi he lea heliaki; pea ʻe mamata ia ki he hā mai ʻo Sihova: pea ko ia, ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai te mo manavahē ai ke lea fakamamahi ki heʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Mōsese?”

With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see the LORD’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”

9 Pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kiate kinaua; pea naʻe hāʻele atu ia.

The LORD’s anger burned against them; and he departed.

10 Pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae ʻao mei he fale fehikitaki, pea vakai, naʻe hoko ʻa Miliame ko e kilia hina ʻo hangē ko e ʻuha hinehina: pea naʻe sio ʻa ʻElone kia Miliame, pea vakai kuo kilia ia.

The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

11 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻElone kia Mōsese, “ʻOiauē, ʻeku ʻeiki, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻae angahala kiate kimaua ʻaia kuo ma fai vale ai, pea mo ia ʻoku ma angahala ai.

Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please do not count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.

12 ‌ʻOua naʻa tuku ia ke ne hangē ko e tokotaha kuo mate, pe ha taha kuo popo hono kakano ʻi heʻene haʻu mei he fatu ʻo ʻene faʻē.”

Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”

13 Pea naʻe tangi ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻOtua ʻoku ou kole ki hoʻo ʻafio, ke ke fakamoʻui leva ia.”

Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”

14 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia Mōsese, “Kapau ne kuo ʻaʻanu ʻa ʻene tamai ki hono mata ʻikai ʻe ma ia he ʻaho ʻe fitu? Tuku ke tāpuni kiate ia ʻae ʻapitanga, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu, pea ka hili ia, tuku ke toe haʻu ia ki ai.”

The LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, should not she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.”

15 Pea naʻe kapusi ʻa Miliame mei he ʻapitanga, ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fitu: pea naʻe ʻikai kei fononga ʻae kakai kaeʻoua ke toe ʻomi ʻa Miliame.

Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam was brought in again.

16 Pea hili ia naʻe hiki ʻae kakai mei Heseloti, ʻonau nofo ʻi he toafa ʻo Palani.

Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
