< 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.
Locutaque est Maria et Aaron contra Moysen propter uxorem ejus Æthiopissam,
2 And they said, Has the Lord spoken to Moses only? has he not also spoken to 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
3 And the man Moses was very meek beyond all the men that were upon the earth.
(erat enim Moyses vir mitissimus super omnes homines qui morabantur in terra),
4 And the Lord said immediately to Moses and Aaron and Mariam, Come forth all three of you to the tabernacle of witness.
statim locutus est ad eum, et ad Aaron et Mariam: Egredimini vos tantum tres ad tabernaculum fœderis. Cumque fuissent egressi,
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.
descendit Dominus in columna nubis, et stetit in introitu tabernaculi, vocans Aaron et Mariam. Qui cum issent,
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.
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 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?
ore enim ad os loquor ei: et palam, et non per ænigmata et figuras Dominum videt. Quare ergo non timuistis detrahere servo meo Moysi?
9 And the great anger of the Lord [was] upon them, and he departed.
Iratusque contra eos, abiit:
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.
nubes quoque recessit quæ erat super tabernaculum: et ecce Maria apparuit candens lepra quasi nix. Cumque respexisset eam Aaron, et vidisset perfusam lepra,
11 And Aaron said to Moses, I beseech you, my lord, do not lay sin upon us, for we were ignorant wherein we sinned.
ait ad Moysen: Obsecro, domine mi, ne imponas nobis hoc peccatum quod stulte commisimus,
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.
ne fiat hæc quasi mortua, et ut abortivum quod projicitur de vulva matris suæ: ecce jam medium carnis ejus devoratum est a lepra.
13 And Moses cried to the Lord, saying, O God, I beseech you, heal her.
Clamavitque Moyses ad Dominum, dicens: Deus, obsecro, sana eam.
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.
Cui respondit Dominus: Si pater ejus spuisset in faciem illius, nonne debuerat saltem septem diebus rubore suffundi? separetur septem diebus extra castra, et postea revocabitur.
15 And Mariam was separated without the camp seven days; and the people moved not forward till Mariam was cleansed.
Exclusa est itaque Maria extra castra septem diebus: et populus non est motus de loco illo, donec revocata est Maria.
16 And afterwards the people set forth from Aseroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Pharan.
Profectusque est populus de Haseroth, fixis tentoriis in deserto Pharan.
