1 N a ka whakahe a Miriama rau ko Arona ki a Mohi mo te wahine Kuhi i marenatia e ia: he wahine Kuhi hoki tana i marena ai.

Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

2 A ka mea raua, Koia ranei i a Mohi anake nga korero a Ihowa? kahore ranei ana korero hoki i a maua? A ka rongo a Ihowa.

So they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it.

3 N a, he tangata mahaki rawa a Mohi i nga tangata katoa o te mata o te whenua.

(Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)

4 N a i ohorere tunu te korerotanga a Ihowa ki a Mohi ratou ko Arona, ko Miriama, Puta mai koutou tokotoru ki te tapenakara o te whakaminenga. A ka puta atu ratu tokotoru.

Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out.

5 N a ka heke iho a Ihowa i roto i te pou kapua, a ka tu ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara, ka karanga hoki ki a Arona raua ko Miriama: a ka puta raua.

Then the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward.

6 A ka mea ia, Tena, whakarongo ki aku korero: ki te mea he poropiti kei a koutou, ka whakaatu atu ahau, a Ihowa i ahau ki a ia, he mea whakakite, he korero moemoea ki a ia.

Then He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.

7 E hara taku pononga, a Mohi i te pera; he pono ia i toku whare katoa:

Not so with My servant Moses; He is faithful in all My house.

8 K a korero ahau ki a ia, he mangai, he mangai, he korero mata nui, kahore hoki he kupu ngaro; a e kite ano ia i te ahua o Ihowa: he aha ra korua te wehi ai ki te whakahe mo taku pononga, mo Mohi?

I speak with him face to face, Even plainly, and not in dark sayings; And he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant Moses?”

9 N a ka mutu te riri o Ihowa ki a raua, a haere ana ia.

So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed.

10 N a ka riro atu te kapua i runga i te tapenakara: na! he repera a Miriama, kua rite ki te hukarere: a ka titiro a Arona ki a Miriama, e! he repera.

And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper.

11 N a ka mea a Arona ki a Mohi, Aue, e toku ariki, kaua e utaina ki a maua tenei hara i poauau nei, i hara nei maua.

So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please do not lay this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.

12 K ei rite ia ki te mea kua mate, ki te mea kua pau tetahi wahi o ona kikokiko i te putanga mai i te kopu o tona whaea.

Please do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”

13 N a ka karanga atu a Mohi ki a Ihowa, ka mea, E te Atua, tena ra, whakaorangia ia.

So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please heal her, O God, I pray!”

14 N a ka mea a Ihowa, ki a Mohi, Me i tuwha kau tona papa ki tona mata e kore ianei ia e whakama, a whitu noa nga ra? kia whitu nga ra e tutakina atu ai ia ki waho o te puni, a muri iho ka mauria mai ano.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again. ”

15 N a tutakina atu ana a Miriama ki waho o te puni, e whitu nga ra; kihai ano hoki te iwi i haere, kia whakahokia mai ra ano a Miriama.

So Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in again.

16 A muri iho ka turia e te iwi i Hateroto, a noho ana i te koraha o Parana.

And afterward the people moved from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
