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，
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
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。
They said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us?" And the LORD heard it.
3 梅瑟為人十分謙和，超過地上所有的人。
Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface 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。
The LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, "You three come out to the Tent of Meeting." The three of them came 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，
The LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.
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；
He said, "Hear now my words. If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.
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。
My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.
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﹖」
With him I will speak mouth to mouth, even openly, and not in riddles; and he shall see the LORD's form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?"
9 上主對他們發著怒走了。
The anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
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，
The cloud departed from over the Tent; and look, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and look, 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!
Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, please do not count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which 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, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb."
13 梅瑟遂向上主呼求說：「天主，我求你治好她罷! 」
Moses cried to the LORD, saying, "Heal her, God, I beg you."
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﹖」
The LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn't she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall 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。
Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people did not travel until 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。
Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
