¹And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had taken; for he had taken a Cushite as wife.

¹[Ny nanomezan'i Miriama sy Arona tsiny an'i Mosesy, sy ny nataon'Andriamanitra tamin'izany] Ary Miriama sy Arona niteny nanome tsiny an'i Mosesy noho ny vehivavy Kosita izay efa nampakariny; fa efa nampakatra vehivavy Kosita izy.

²And they said, Has Jehovah indeed spoken only to Moses? has he not spoken also to us? And Jehovah heard it.

²Dia hoy izy mianadahy: Moa Mosesy ihany va no efa nitenenan'i Jehovah? tsy izahay koa va no nitenenany? Dia ren'i Jehovah izany.

³But the man Moses was very meek, above all men that were upon the face of the earth.

³Ary Mosesy dia lehilahy nalemy fanahy mihoatra noho ny olona rehetra atỳ ambonin'ny tany.

⁴Then Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they went out, they three.

⁴Ary Jehovah dia niteny tampoka tamin'i Mosesy sy Arona ary Miriama hoe: Mivoaha ianareo telo mianadahy ho any amin'ny trano-lay fihaonana. Dia nivoaka izy telo mianadahy.

⁵And Jehovah came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

⁵Ary andri-rahona no nidinan'i Jehovah, ka nitsangana teo am-baravaran'ny trano-lay Izy; dia niantso an'i Arona sy Miriama Izy, ka nivoaka izy mianadahy.

⁶And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision, I will speak to him in a dream.

⁶Dia hoy Izy: Mba mihainoa ny teniko: Raha misy mpaminanin'i Jehovah eo aminareo, dia amin'ny fahitana no hisehoako aminy, ary amin'ny nofy no hitenenako aminy.

⁷Not so my servant Moses: he is faithful in all my house.

⁷Fa tsy toy izany kosa Mosesy mpanompoko, izay mahatoky amin'ny tranoko rehetra.

⁸Mouth to mouth do I speak to him openly, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah doth he behold. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

⁸Mifanatrika no itenenako aminy, dia amin'ny fahitana, fa tsy amin'ny teny saro-pantarina, ary mijery ny endrik'i Jehovah izy; ka nahoana ianareo no tsy natahotra hanome tsiny an'i Mosesy mpanompoko?

⁹And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he went away;

⁹Dia nirehitra ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah tamin'izy mianadahy, ka niala Izy.

¹⁰and the cloud departed from off the tent. And behold, Miriam was leprous as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

¹⁰Ary ny rahona niala tamin'ny trano-lay; ary, indro, boka Miriama ka fotsy tahaka ny oram-panala; ary Arona dia nijery an'i Miriama, ka indro fa boka izy.

¹¹Then Aaron said to Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not this sin upon us, wherein we have been foolish, and have sinned!

¹¹Ary hoy Arona tamin'i Mosesy: Indrisy, tompoko, masìna ianao, aza atao ho helokay ny nanaovanay adaladala sy ny nanotanay.

¹²Let her not be as one stillborn, half of whose flesh is consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb.

¹²Aza dia avela ho toy ny maty izy, izay lany ny antsasaky ny nofony, raha vao teraka izy.

¹³And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, O ùGod, heal her, I beseech thee!

¹³Ary Mosesy dia nitaraina tamin'i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Andriamanitra ô, mifona aminao aho, mba sitrano re izy!

¹⁴And Jehovah said to Moses, But had her father anyways spat in her face, should she not be shamed seven days? She shall be shut outside the camp seven days, and afterwards she shall be received in [again].

¹⁴Dia hoy Jehovah tamin'i Mosesy: Raha nandrora tamin'ny tavany rainy, moa tsy ho menatra hafitoana va izy? koa atokàny any ivelan'ny toby hafitoana izy, ary rehefa afaka izany, dia ampidiro indray.

¹⁵And Miriam was shut outside the camp seven days; and the people did not journey till Miriam was received in [again].

¹⁵Dia natokana tany ivelan'ny toby hafitoana Miriama; ary ny olona tsy niainga, raha tsy efa nampidirina Miriama.Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia niainga niala tany Hazerota ny olona ka nitoby tany an-efitra Parana.

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

¹⁶Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia niainga niala tany Hazerota ny olona ka nitoby tany an-efitra Parana.
