Question about ARP and NAT.

I spent so much time trying to find the answer. I hope I am forgiven if this is a fairly simple question.

If devices communicate on an internal LAN using Layer 2 (Data Link layer with MAC addresses) then how does NAT play into this equation? If our devices on an internal network are communicating using MAC addresses. Then why does each device need it's own internal private IP address using NAT?
