Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Then Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a Cushite wife.
1Pea 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.
2“Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.
2Pea 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.
3Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.
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.)
4And suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three went out,
4Pea 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.
5and the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had stepped forward,
5Pea 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.
6He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.
6Pea 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.
7But this is not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.
7Ka ʻoku taha kehe ʻa Mōsese ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki: ʻoku angatonu ia ʻi hoku fale kotoa pē.
8I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?”
8Te 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?”
9So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.
9Pea naʻe vela ʻae houhau ʻo Sihova kiate kinaua; pea naʻe hāʻele atu ia.
10As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous,
10Pea 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.
11and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.
11Pea 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.
12Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
12ʻOua 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.”
13So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”
13Pea naʻe tangi ʻa Mōsese kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻOtua ʻoku ou kole ki hoʻo ʻafio, ke ke fakamoʻui leva ia.”
14But the LORD answered Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”
14Pea 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.”
15So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought in again.
15Pea 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.
16After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
16Pea hili ia naʻe hiki ʻae kakai mei Heseloti, ʻonau nofo ʻi he toafa ʻo Palani.
