民數記 12
1 米黎盎和亞郎為了梅瑟所娶的雇士女人出言反對梅瑟，因為他娶了個雇士女人，
And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, on account of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for an Ethiopian woman had he married.
2 於是說：「上主豈只與梅瑟交談，不是也與我們交談過! 」上主聽見了這話。
And they said, Hath then only with Moses the Lord spoken? hath he not also spoken with us? And the Lord heard it.
3 梅瑟為人十分謙和，超過地上所有的人。
(But the man Moses was very meek, more so than any man who was upon the face of the earth.)
4 上主忽然向梅瑟、亞郎和米黎盎說：「你們三人到會幕那裏去。」他們三人就去了。
And the Lord said suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Go out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation; and these three went out.
5 上主乘雲柱降下，停在會幕門口，叫亞郎和米黎盎；他們兩人就走向前去，
And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.
6 上主說：「你們聽我說：若你們中有一位是先知，我要在神視中顯示給他，在夢中與他談話；
And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet of your kind, I, the Lord, do make myself known unto him in a vision, in a dream do I speak with him.
7 但對我的僕人梅瑟卻不是這樣，他在我全家中是最忠信可靠的。
Not so is my servant Moses, in all my house is he faithful.
8 我面對面與他明明說話，不藉謎語，並讓他望見上主的形像。為什麼你們竟不怕出言反對我的僕人梅瑟﹖」
Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord doth he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
9 上主對他們發著怒走了。
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he went away.
10 彩雲一離開會幕，看，米黎盎就生了癩病，像雪那樣白；亞郎轉身看見米黎盎生了癩病，
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
11 遂對梅瑟說：「我主，懇求你，別使我們因一時愚昧所犯之罪而受罰!
Then said Aaron unto Moses, Alas, my Lord, do not, I beseech thee, account to us as sin that wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
12 求你別讓她像個胎死腹中的人，一出娘胎，肉身就已腐爛了一半。」
Let her not be as a dead-born child, of which half the flesh is consumed, when it cometh out of its mother's womb.
13 梅瑟遂向上主呼求說：「天主，我求你治好她罷! 」
And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, O God! do thou heal her, I beseech thee.
14 上主對梅瑟說：「若她的父親在她面上吐唾沫，她豈不要七天忍此羞辱，七天把她隔離在營外，然後才讓她回來﹖」
And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up seven days outside of the camp, and after that let her be brought in again.
15 於是米黎盎七天之久，被隔離在營外；民眾也沒有起程，直到米黎盎回來。
And Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days; and the people did not set forward till Miriam was brought in again.
16 以後，民眾由哈茲洛特起程出發，在帕蘭曠野紮了營。
And afterward the people removed from Chazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
