Minbu 12

1 Hazeroth muna aum laijun, Mose in Cush a kon numei khat akichenpi jeh in Miriam le Aaron chun ama demna thu aseilhontai.

Miriam and Aaron [Light-bringer] spoke against Moses [Drawn out] because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

2 Amani hiti hin asei lhon in, “Pakai chu Mose henga bou kilah thei ham? Eini heng a jong hung ki lahdoh hung kilah hilouham?” atilhon e. Hilah amani thusei chu Pakaiyin ajasoh kei in ahi.

They said, “Has Adonai indeed spoken only with Moses [Drawn out]? Has not he spoken also with us?” And Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· it.

3 (Mose chu akineosah lheh jeng in ahi- Leiset a akineosahpen pa sang in akineosah joh nalai in ahi).

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

4 Hichun gang tah in Pakaiyin Mose, Aaron chule Miriam chu akouloi in hitin asei peh tai, “Nathum un Houbuh lama gache taovin” ati, hichun amaho thum in jong hilam chu ajon tauvin ahi.

Adonai spoke suddenly to Moses [Drawn out], to Aaron [Light-bringer], and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.

5 Chuin Pathen chu meilom in ahung kumlhan houbuh lutna a chun ading den in, “Aaron leh Miriam” tin ahinkou in ahileh, amaninjong ahin nailut lhon in ahi.

Adonai came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron [Light-bringer] and Miriam; and they both came forward.

6 Chu in Pathen in ahoulim pilhon in tuhin ka thusei hohi ngailhon in: “Nangma ho lah’a themgao um ahileh, Keima, Pakaiyin, gaova kaki phon tah hih ding ham. Ahilouleh manga kaki houlim pi ding ahi tai, ati.

He said, “Now sh'ma ·hear obey· my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, Adonai, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

7 Hinlah kasohpa Mose vang hitobang chu ahipoi, Ka insung pumpi a amahi katahsan pentah ahi.

My servant Moses [Drawn out] is not so. He is faithful in all my house.

8 Keima amatoh gaophelphul hilouva kichentah kimaingat toa kihoulim kahi lhon e! Aman Pakai chu ahina bang tah a amu ahi. Chiti ahileh idia kasohpa Mose dem ding kicha lou nahivem?

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

9 Pakai chu amaho chunga chun alunghang lheh jeng tan, a dalha lhon tai.

Adonai’s anger burned against them; and he departed.

10 Houbuh chunga meilhang akitol toh lhon in, Miriam chu ading in, Tiphah natna jeh chun avun chu buhbang bang in abang tan ahi. Aaron in Miriam chunga thilsoh ijakai amusoh phat in,

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

11 Mose henga akaptan, “Oh! kapu hiche ngolhoitah chonsetna kana boldoh jeh lhon in gotna neipelhon hih beh in.

Aaron [Light-bringer] said to Moses [Drawn out], “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.

12 Amanu jong hi naosen athisa a hung peng, apen lhah lhah a amonsa bang in koi hih beh in,” ati.

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 Hichun Mose Pakai anga a akapjah jeng tan, “O Pakai, katao ahi, lung set tah in amanu hi damsah tan!” ati.

Moses [Drawn out] cried to Adonai, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”

14 Ahin Pakaiyin Mose jah a seitan, “Amanu hi apa chun achil aset khum hitaleh, ni sagi sung chu aboh a um a jum le ja athoh lou ding ham? hijeh chun amanu hi ngahmun pamlamma nisagi sung koidoh un lang, chujou teng lah lut kit thei hiding ahi” ati.

Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “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 Hiti chun Miriam chu ngahmun pam lamah ni sagi aumsah un, chuleh akitol kit masang un, amanu chu ngahmun sung nga ahung kit ding chu mipiho chun angah un ahi.

Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in again.

16 Hitichun Hazeroth adalha tauvin ache peh un Paran gamthip munkhat a ngahmun khat akisemkit tauvin ahi.

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