عَدَد 12

١ 1 وَانْتَقَدَتْ مَرْيَمُ وَهروُنُ مُوسَى لِزَوَاجِهِ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ كُوشِيَّةٍ،

And Miriam speaketh — Aaron also — against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken: for a Cushite woman he had taken;

٢ 2 وَقَالا: «هَلْ كَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَحْدَهُ؟ أَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً؟» فَسَمِعَ الرَّبُّ.

and they say, 'Only by Moses hath Jehovah spoken? also by us hath he not spoken?' and Jehovah heareth.

٣ 3 أَمَّا مُوسَى فَقَدْ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ حِلْماً مِنْ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ.

And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the men who [are] on the face of the ground.

٤ 4 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ حَالاً لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ: «اذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمُ الثَّلاثَةُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ». فَمَضَى ثَلاثَتُهُمْ.

And Jehovah saith suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, 'Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting;' and they three come out.

٥ 5 فَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ وَحَلَّ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، وَنَادَى هَرُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ، فَتَقَدَّمَا وَحْدَهُمَا،

And Jehovah cometh down in the pillar of the cloud, and standeth at the opening of the tent, and calleth Aaron and Miriam, and they come out both of them.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ: «اسْمَعَا كَلامِي: إِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ نَبِيٌّ لِلرَّبِّ فَإِنِّي أَسْتَعْلِنُ لَهُ بِالرُّؤْيَا، وَأُكَلِّمُهُ بِالْحُلْمِ،

And He saith, 'Hear, I pray you, My words: If your prophet is of Jehovah — in an appearance unto him I make Myself known; in a dream I speak with him;

٧ 7 أَمَّا عَبْدِي مُوسَى فَلَسْتُ أُعَامِلُهُ هَكَذَا، بَلْ هُوَ أَمِينٌ فِي بَيْتِي،

not so My servant Moses; in all My house he [is] stedfast;

٨ 8 لِذَلِكَ أُكَلِّمُهُ وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ، وَبِوُضُوحٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَلْغَازٍ، وَيُعَايِنُ صُورَةَ الرَّبِّ. فَلِمَاذَا جَرُؤْتُمَا عَلَى انْتِقَادِ عَبْدِي مُوسَى؟»

mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak against My servant — against Moses?'

٩ 9 وَاحْتَدَّ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمَا، ثُمَّ مَضَى عَنْهُمَا.

And the anger of Jehovah burneth against them, and He goeth on,

١٠ 10 فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنْ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، إِذَا مَرْيَمُ بَرْصَاءُ كَالثَّلْجِ فَالْتَفَتَ هَرُونُ وَمُوسَى نَحْوَ مَرْيَمَ، وَإذَا هِيَ مُصَابَةٌ بِالْبَرَصِ.

and the cloud hath turned aside from off the tent, and lo, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turneth unto Miriam, and lo, leprous!

١١ 11 فَقَالَ هَروُنُ لِمُوسَى: «أَرْجُوكَ يَا سَيِّدِي، لَا تُحَمِّلْنَا الْخَطِيئَةَ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبْنَاهَا كَالْحَمْقَى، وَأَسَأْنَا بِها إِلَيْكَ.

And Aaron saith unto Moses, 'O, my lord, I pray thee, lay not upon us sin [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned;

١٢ 12 وَلا تَجْعَلْ مَرْيَمَ كَالْجَنِينِ الْمَيْتِ الْخَارِجِ مِنْ رَحِمِ أُمِّهِ وَقَدْ تَهَرَّأَ نِصْفُ لَحْمِهِ».

let her not, I pray thee, be as [one] dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his mother — the half of his flesh is consumed.'

١٣ 13 فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «اللهُمَّ اشْفِهَا».

And Moses crieth unto Jehovah, saying, 'O God, I pray Thee, give, I pray Thee, healing to her.'

١٤ 14 فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَاهَا بَصَقَ فِي وَجْهِهَا، أَمَا كَانَتْ تَمْكُثُ خَجِلَةً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ؟ فَلْتُحْجَزْ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَرْجِعُ».

And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'And her father had but spat in her face — is she not ashamed seven days? she is shut out seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterwards she is gathered.'

١٥ 15 فَحُجِزَتْ مَرْيَمُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، وَلَمْ يَرْتَحِلِ الشَّعْبُ حَتَّى عَادَتْ مَرْيَمُ،

And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp seven days, and the people hath not journeyed till Miriam is gathered;

١٦ 16 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ارْتَحَلَ الشَّعْبُ مِنْ حَضَيْرُوتَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ.

and afterwards have the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
