< Numbers 12 >

1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
وَانْتَقَدَتْ مَرْيَمُ وَهروُنُ مُوسَى لِزَوَاجِهِ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ كُوشِيَّةٍ،١
2 And they said, Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it.
وَقَالا: «هَلْ كَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَحْدَهُ؟ أَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً؟» فَسَمِعَ الرَّبُّ.٢
3 Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth.
أَمَّا مُوسَى فَقَدْ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ حِلْماً مِنْ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ.٣
4 And Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three came out.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ حَالاً لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ: «اذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمُ الثَّلاثَةُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ». فَمَضَى ثَلاثَتُهُمْ.٤
5 And Jehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.
فَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ وَحَلَّ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، وَنَادَى هَرُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ، فَتَقَدَّمَا وَحْدَهُمَا،٥
6 And he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream.
فَقَالَ: «اسْمَعَا كَلامِي: إِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ نَبِيٌّ لِلرَّبِّ فَإِنِّي أَسْتَعْلِنُ لَهُ بِالرُّؤْيَا، وَأُكَلِّمُهُ بِالْحُلْمِ،٦
7 My servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:
أَمَّا عَبْدِي مُوسَى فَلَسْتُ أُعَامِلُهُ هَكَذَا، بَلْ هُوَ أَمِينٌ فِي بَيْتِي،٧
8 with him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
لِذَلِكَ أُكَلِّمُهُ وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ، وَبِوُضُوحٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَلْغَازٍ، وَيُعَايِنُ صُورَةَ الرَّبِّ. فَلِمَاذَا جَرُؤْتُمَا عَلَى انْتِقَادِ عَبْدِي مُوسَى؟»٨
9 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he departed.
وَاحْتَدَّ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمَا، ثُمَّ مَضَى عَنْهُمَا.٩
10 And the cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as [white as] snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنْ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، إِذَا مَرْيَمُ بَرْصَاءُ كَالثَّلْجِ فَالْتَفَتَ هَرُونُ وَمُوسَى نَحْوَ مَرْيَمَ، وَإذَا هِيَ مُصَابَةٌ بِالْبَرَصِ.١٠
11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.
فَقَالَ هَروُنُ لِمُوسَى: «أَرْجُوكَ يَا سَيِّدِي، لَا تُحَمِّلْنَا الْخَطِيئَةَ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبْنَاهَا كَالْحَمْقَى، وَأَسَأْنَا بِها إِلَيْكَ.١١
12 Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.
وَلا تَجْعَلْ مَرْيَمَ كَالْجَنِينِ الْمَيْتِ الْخَارِجِ مِنْ رَحِمِ أُمِّهِ وَقَدْ تَهَرَّأَ نِصْفُ لَحْمِهِ».١٢
13 And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee.
فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «اللهُمَّ اشْفِهَا».١٣
14 And Jehovah said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.
فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَاهَا بَصَقَ فِي وَجْهِهَا، أَمَا كَانَتْ تَمْكُثُ خَجِلَةً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ؟ فَلْتُحْجَزْ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَرْجِعُ».١٤
15 And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
فَحُجِزَتْ مَرْيَمُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، وَلَمْ يَرْتَحِلِ الشَّعْبُ حَتَّى عَادَتْ مَرْيَمُ،١٥
16 And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ارْتَحَلَ الشَّعْبُ مِنْ حَضَيْرُوتَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ.١٦
