Numbers 12
1 And Mariam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of the Ethiopian woman whom Moses took; for he had taken an Ethiopian woman.
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，
2 And they said, Has the Lord spoken to Moses only? has he not also spoken to us? and the Lord heard it.
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。
3 And the man Moses was very meek beyond all the men that were upon the earth.
梅瑟為人十分謙和，超過地上所有的人。
4 And the Lord said immediately to Moses and Aaron and Mariam, Come forth all three of you to the tabernacle of witness.
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。
5 And the three came forth to the tabernacle of witness; and the Lord descended in a pillar of a cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of witness; and Aaron and Mariam were called; and both came forth.
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，
6 And he said to them, Hear my words: If there should be of you a prophet to the Lord, I will be made known to him in a vision, and in sleep will I speak to him.
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；
7 My servant Moses [is] not so; he is faithful in all my house.
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。
8 I will speak to him mouth to mouth apparently, and not in dark speeches; and he has seen the glory of the Lord; and why were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
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﹖」
9 And the great anger of the Lord [was] upon them, and he departed.
上主對他們發著怒走了。
10 And the cloud departed from the tabernacle; and, behold, Mariam was leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron looked upon Mariam, and, behold, she [was] leprous.
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，
11 And Aaron said to Moses, I beseech you, my lord, do not lay sin upon us, for we were ignorant wherein we sinned.
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!
12 Let her not be as it were like death, as an abortion coming out of his mother's womb, when [the disease] devours the half of the flesh.
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。」
13 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, O God, I beseech you, heal her.
梅瑟遂向上主呼求說：「天主，我求你治好她罷! 」
14 And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had only spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be set apart seven days without the camp, and afterwards she shall come in.
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﹖」
15 And Mariam was separated without the camp seven days; and the people moved not forward till Mariam was cleansed.
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。
16 And afterwards the people set forth from Aseroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Pharan.
以後，民眾由哈茲洛特起程出發，在帕蘭曠野紮了營。
