< Numbers 12 >

1 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
Locutaque est Maria et Aaron contra Moysen propter uxorem eius Aethiopissam,
2 They said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Has not he spoken also with us?” And the LORD heard it.
et dixerunt: Num per solum Moysen locutus est Dominus? nonne et nobis similiter est locutus? Quod cum audisset Dominus iratus est,
3 Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.
(Erat enim Moyses vir mitissimus super omnes homines qui morabantur in terra)
4 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.
statim locutus est Dominus ad eum, et ad Aaron et Mariam: Egredimini vos tantum tres ad tabernaculum foederis. Cumque fuissent egressi,
5 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.
descendit Dominus in columna nubis, et stetit in introitu tabernaculi vocans Aaron et Mariam. Qui cum issent,
6 He said, “Now hear 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.
dixit ad eos: Audite sermones meos: si quis fuerit inter vos propheta Domini, in visione apparebo ei, vel per somnium loquar ad illum.
7 My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.
At non talis servus meus Moyses, qui in omni domo mea fidelissimus est:
8 With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, 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?”
ore enim ad os loquor ei: et palam, et non per aenigmata et figuras Dominum videt. Quare ergo non timuistis detrahere servo meo Moysi?
9 The LORD’s anger burned against them; and he departed.
Iratusque contra eos, abiit:
10 The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.
nubes quoque recessit quae erat super tabernaculum: et ecce Maria apparuit candens lepra quasi nix. Cumque respexisset eam Aaron, et vidisset perfusam lepra,
11 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.
ait ad Moysen: Obsecro domine mi, ne imponas nobis hoc peccatum quod stulte commisimus,
12 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.”
ne fiat haec quasi mortua, et ut abortivum quod proiicitur de vulva matris suae. ecce iam medium carnis eius devoratum est a lepra.
13 Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”
Clamavitque Moyses ad Dominum, dicens: Deus, obsecro, sana eam.
14 The LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, should not 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.”
Cui respondit Dominus: Si pater eius spuisset in faciem illius, nonne debuerat saltem septem diebus rubore suffundi? Separetur septem diebus extra castra, et postea revocabitur.
15 Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam was brought in again.
Exclusa est itaque Maria extra castra septem diebus: et populus non est motus de loco illo, donec revocata est Maria.
16 Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
Profectusque est populus de Haseroth fixis tentoriis in deserto Pharan.
