Lampahnah 12
1 Moses loh Kushi nu a loh vanbangla a loh Kushi nu kah a kongmai dongah Miriam neh Aaron loh a thet.
Miriam and Aaron were critical of Moses because of his Ethiopian wife—he'd married an Ethiopian woman.
2 Te vaengah, “Moses lamlong bueng a BOEIPA loh a thui eh? Mamih rhoi lamlong khaw thui mahpawt nim?” a ti rhoi vaengah BOEIPA loh a yaak.
“Is it only through Moses that the Lord speaks?” they asked. “Doesn't he speak through us too?” The Lord heard all this.
3 Tedae Moses tah a kodo uet ah diklai hman kah hlang boeih lakah kodo tangkik hlang la om.
Moses was a very humble man, more than anyone else on earth.
4 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Moses taeng neh Aaron taengah khaw Miriam taengah khaw, “Nangmih pathum te tingtunnah dap la ha lo uh,” thaeng a ti nah tih a pathum la cet uh.
All of a sudden the Lord called for Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, telling them, “The three of you, come to the Tent of Meeting.” The three of them did so.
5 Te vaengah BOEIPA te cingmai tung la suntla tih dap thohka ah pai. Te phoeiah Aaron neh Miriam te a khue tih amih rhoi thoeih rhoi.
The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood in the entrance to the Tent. He called Aaron and Miriam and they came forward.
6 Te phoeiah, “Kai ol he hnatun rhoi laeh, nangmih kah tonghma om koinih, BOEIPA he anih taengah mangthuinah neh mueimang ah ka phoe vetih anih te ka voek pawnko.
“Now listen to my words, he told them. If you had prophets, I the Lord would reveal myself to them in visions; I would communicate with them in dreams.
7 Ka sal Moses tah te moenih, ka imkhui pum ah anih tah a uepom ta.
But it's not like this with my servant Moses, who of all my people is the one who is faithful.
8 Ka ka dongkah olka te anih taengah ka thui vaengah a hmuethma khaw olkael a om moenih. BOEIPA muei a paelki vaengah he balae tih ka sal Moses taengah cal ham khaw na rhih pawh?” a ti nah.
I talk to him personally, face to face. I speak plainly, not in riddles. He sees the likeness of the Lord. So why weren't you afraid when you criticized my servant Moses?”
9 BOEIPA kah thintoek te amih rhoi taengah sai tih cet.
The Lord was angry with them, and he left.
10 Te phoeiah cingmai te dap so lamloh nong. Te vaengah Miriam te vuelsong bangla pahuk tih Aaron te Miriam taengla a mael vaengah tarha ana pahuk coeng.
As the cloud rose above the Tent, Miriam's skin suddenly turned white with leprosy. Aaron turned to look and saw that she had leprosy.
11 Aaron loh Moses te, “Aw ka boeipa, kaimih rhoi soah tholh han dueh mai boeh, ka nga rhoi tih ka tholh oeh te.
He said to Moses, “My lord, please don't punish us for this sin that we've so stupidly committed.
12 A manu bung lamloh a thoeng vaengah a saa rhakthuem a caak pah vaengkah a duek bangla om mai boel saeh,” a ti nah.
Please don't let her become like a stillborn baby whose flesh is already decaying when they're born!”
13 Te dongah Moses te BOEIPA taengah pang tih, “Pathen aw anih he hoeih sak mai laeh,” a ti nah.
Moses called out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!”
14 BOEIPA loh Moses te, “A napa loh a maelhmai ah a timthoeih la a timthoeih coeng atah hnin rhih a hmaithae mahpawt nim? Rhaehhmuen lamloh vongvoel ah hnin rhih om saeh lamtah khue mai saeh,” a ti nah.
But the Lord replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face wouldn't she have been disgraced for seven days? Keep her in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and then she can be taken back in.”
15 Te dongah Miriam te rhaehhmuen vongvoel ah hnin rhih a khoh uh tih Miriam a mael duela pilnam khaw cet pawh.
Miriam was kept in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was taken back in.
16 Te phoeiah pilnam te Hazeroth lamloh cet tih Paran khosoek ah rhaeh uh.
Then the people left Hazeroth and set up camp in the Desert of Paran.
