Numbers 12
1 Miriam and Aaron were critical of Moses because of his Ethiopian wife—he'd married an Ethiopian woman.
locutaque est Maria et Aaron contra Mosen propter uxorem eius aethiopissam
2 “Is it only through Moses that the Lord speaks?” they asked. “Doesn't he speak through us too?” The Lord heard all this.
et dixerunt num per solum Mosen locutus est Dominus nonne et nobis similiter est locutus quod cum audisset Dominus
3 Moses was a very humble man, more than anyone else on earth.
erat enim Moses vir mitissimus super omnes homines qui morabantur in terra
4 All of a sudden the Lord called for Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, telling them, “The three of you, come to the Tent of Meeting.” The three of them did so.
statim locutus est 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 in the entrance to the Tent. He called Aaron and Miriam and they came forward.
descendit Dominus in columna nubis et stetit in introitu tabernaculi vocans Aaron et Mariam qui cum issent
6 “Now listen to my words, he told them. If you had prophets, I the Lord would reveal myself to them in visions; I would communicate with them in dreams.
dixit ad eos audite sermones meos si quis fuerit inter vos propheta Domini in visione apparebo ei vel per somnium loquar ad illum
7 But it's not like this with my servant Moses, who of all my people is the one who is faithful.
at non talis servus meus Moses qui in omni domo mea fidelissimus est
8 I talk to him personally, face to face. I speak plainly, not in riddles. He sees the likeness of the Lord. So why weren't you afraid when you criticized my servant Moses?”
ore enim ad os loquor ei et palam non per enigmata et figuras Dominum videt quare igitur non timuistis detrahere servo meo Mosi
9 The Lord was angry with them, and he left.
iratusque contra eos abiit
10 As the cloud rose above the Tent, Miriam's skin suddenly turned white with leprosy. Aaron turned to look and saw that she had leprosy.
nubes quoque recessit quae erat super tabernaculum et ecce Maria apparuit candens lepra quasi nix cumque respexisset eam Aaron et vidisset perfusam lepra
11 He said to Moses, “My lord, please don't punish us for this sin that we've so stupidly committed.
ait ad Mosen obsecro domine mi ne inponas nobis hoc peccatum quod stulte commisimus
12 Please don't let her become like a stillborn baby whose flesh is already decaying when they're born!”
ne fiat haec quasi mortua et ut abortivum quod proicitur de vulva matris suae ecce iam medium carnis eius devoratum est lepra
13 Moses called out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!”
clamavitque Moses ad Dominum dicens Deus obsecro sana eam
14 But the Lord replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face wouldn't she have been disgraced for seven days? Keep her in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and then she can be taken back in.”
cui respondit Dominus si pater eius spuisset in faciem illius nonne debuerat saltem septem dierum rubore suffundi separetur septem diebus extra castra et postea revocabitur
15 Miriam was kept in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was taken back in.
exclusa est itaque Maria extra castra septem diebus et populus non est motus de loco illo donec revocata est Maria
16 Then the people left Hazeroth and set up camp in the Desert of Paran.
profectus est de Aseroth fixis tentoriis in deserto Pharan
