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.

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

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 Yahweh spoken only with Moses? Has he not spoken also with us?” Now Yahweh heard what they said.

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, humbler than anyone else on 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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

My servant Moses is not like that. 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?”

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

Yahweh's anger burned against them, and then he left them.

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 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 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 master, please do not hold this sin against us. We have spoken foolishly, and 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.”

Please do not let her be like a dead newborn whose flesh is half consumed when it emerges from its 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.”

So Moses called out to Yahweh. He said, “Please heal her, God, please.”

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.”

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 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.

So Miriam was shut outside the camp for seven days. The people did not journey until she had returned to the camp.

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

After that, the people journeyed from Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
