Números 12

Ka Whakahē a Ārona rāua ko Miriama ki a Mohi

1 Nā, ka whakahē a Miriama rāua ko Ārona ki a Mohi mō te wahine Kuhi i mārenatia e ia (he wahine Kuhi hoki tāna i mārena ai); 2 ā, ka mea rāua, "Koia rānei i a Mohi anake ngā kōrero a Ihowā? Kāhore rānei ana kōrero hoki i a māua?" Ā, ka rongo a Ihowā. 3 Nā, he tangata māhaki rawa a Mohi i ngā tāngata katoa o te mata o te whenua.

4 Nā, i ohorere tonu te kōrerotanga a i Ihowā ki a Mohi rātou ko Ārona, ko Miriama, "Puta mai koutou tokotoru ki te tapenākara o te whakaminenga." Ā, ka puta atu rātou tokotoru. 5 Nā, ka heke iho a Ihowā i roto i te pou kapua, ā, ka tū ki te whatitoka o te tapenākara, ka karanga hoki ki a Ārona rāua ko Miriama; ā, ka puta rāua. 6 Ā, ka mea ia, "Tēnā, whakarongo ki āku kōrero:

Ki te mea he poropiti kei a koutou,

ka whakaatu atu ahau, a Ihowā i ahau ki a ia,

he mea whakakite, he kōrero moemoeā ki a ia.

7 Ehara tāku pononga, a Mohi i te pērā;

he pono ia i tōku whare katoa.

8 Ka kōrero ahau ki a ia, he māngai,

he māngai, he kōrero mata nui, kāhore hoki he kupu ngaro;

ā, e kite anō ia i te āhua o Ihowā.

He aha rā kōrua tē wehi ai ki te whakahē

mō tāku pononga, mō Mohi?"

9 Nā, ka mura te riri o Ihowā ki a rāua, ā, haere ana ia.

10 Nā, ka riro atu te kapua i runga i te tapenākara; nā! He repera a Miriama, kua rite ki te hukarere; ā, ka titiro a Ārona ki a Miriama, e! He repera. 11 Nā, ka mea a Ārona ki a Mohi, "Auē, e tōku ariki, kaua e utaina ki a māua tēnei hara i pōauau nei, i hara nei māua. 12 Kei rite ia ki te mea kua mate, ki te mea kua pau tētahi wāhi o ōna kikokiko i te putanga mai i te kōpū o tōna whaea."

13 Nā, ka karanga atu a Mohi ki a Ihowā, ka mea, "E te Atua, tēnā rā, whakaorangia ia."

14 Nā, ka mea a Ihowā, ki a Mohi, "Me i tuwha kau tōna pāpā ki tōna mata e kore ianei ia e whakamā, ā, whitu noa ngā rā? Kia whitu ngā rā e tūtakina atu ai ia ki waho o te puni, ā muri iho ka mauria mai anō." 15 Nā, tūtakina atu ana a Miriama ki waho o te puni, e whitu ngā rā; kīhai anō hoki te iwi i haere, kia whakahokia mai rā anō a Miriama.

16 Ā muri iho ka tūria e te iwi i Hateroto, ā, noho ana i te koraha o Parana.

1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman. 2 And they said, Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it. 3 Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth.

4 And Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three came out. 5 And Jehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth. 6 And he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house: 8 with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

9 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he departed. 10 And the cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. 11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned. 12 Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb. 13 And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee. 14 And Jehovah said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again. 15 And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

16 And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
