民數記 12
1 摩西娶了古實女子為妻。米利暗和亞倫因他所娶的古實女子就毀謗他，說：
[Moses’/My older sister] Miriam and [his/my older brother] Aaron were saying this: “Is Moses the only one to whom Yahweh has spoken messages to tell to us [RHQ]? Does Yahweh not speak messages to us two also?” [They told people that] they were saying that because Moses/I had married a woman who was a descendant of the Cush people-group, [but they were really saying that because they (were jealous/did not want Moses/me to be the only leader of the Israeli people)]. But Yahweh heard what they were saying.
2 「難道耶和華單與摩西說話，不也與我們說話嗎？」這話耶和華聽見了。（
3 摩西為人極其謙和，勝過世上的眾人。）
[The truth was that] Moses/I was very humble. He/I was more humble than anyone else on the earth [and Moses/I had not appointed himself/myself to be their leader].
4 耶和華忽然對摩西、亞倫、米利暗說：「你們三個人都出來，到會幕這裏。」他們三個人就出來了。
So immediately Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and to Aaron and Miriam. He said, “All three of you must go and stand at the Sacred Tent.” So they/we did that.
5 耶和華在雲柱中降臨，站在會幕門口，召亞倫和米利暗，二人就出來了。
Then Yahweh descended to the entrance of the tent in a cloud [that resembled a huge white] pillar. He told Aaron and Miriam to step forward, so they did.
6 耶和華說：「你們且聽我的話：你們中間若有先知，我－耶和華必在異象中向他顯現，在夢中與他說話。
Then he said to them, “Listen to me! When a prophet is among you, I [usually] reveal myself to him by allowing him to see visions, and I speak to him in dreams.
7 我的僕人摩西不是這樣；他是在我全家盡忠的。
But that is not the way I speak to my servant Moses. I trust that he will lead my people [well].
8 我要與他面對面說話，乃是明說，不用謎語，並且他必見我的形像。你們毀謗我的僕人摩西，為何不懼怕呢？」
So I talk to him face-to-face. I speak to him (clearly/using words that he will understand easily), not using parables. He has even seen what I look like. So you should be afraid to criticize my servant Moses!”
9 耶和華就向他們二人發怒而去。
Yahweh was very angry with Miriam and Aaron, and he left.
10 雲彩從會幕上挪開了，不料，米利暗長了大痲瘋，有雪那樣白。亞倫一看米利暗長了大痲瘋，
When the cloud rose up from the Sacred Tent, Aaron looked at Miriam, and he saw that her skin was [as white] as snow, because she now had leprosy.
11 就對摩西說：「我主啊，求你不要因我們愚昧犯罪，便將這罪加在我們身上。
Aaron said to Moses/me, “My master, please do not punish us for this sin that we have foolishly committed.
12 求你不要使她像那出母腹、肉已半爛的死胎。」
Do not allow Miriam to be like a baby that is already dead when it is born, whose flesh is already half decayed!”
13 於是摩西哀求耶和華說：「上帝啊，求你醫治她！」
So Moses/I cried out to Yahweh, saying, “God, I plead with you to heal her!”
14 耶和華對摩西說：「她父親若吐唾沫在她臉上，她豈不蒙羞七天嗎？現在要把她在營外關鎖七天，然後才可以領她進來。」
But Yahweh replied, “If her father had [rebuked her for doing something wrong by] spitting in her face, she would have been ashamed for seven days. [She should be ashamed because of what she has done]. So send her outside the camp for seven days. Then [she will not have leprosy any more, and] she may return to the camp.”
15 於是米利暗關鎖在營外七天。百姓沒有行路，直等到把米利暗領進來。
So they sent her outside the camp for seven days. (The people/We) did not move [to another location] until she returned.
16 以後百姓從哈洗錄起行，在巴蘭的曠野安營。
But after [she returned], they/we left Hazeroth and moved [north] in the Paran Desert and set up their/our tents there.
