< Numbers 12 >

1 And Miriam speaks—Aaron also—against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, for he had taken a Cushite woman;
locutaque est Maria et Aaron contra Mosen propter uxorem eius aethiopissam
2 and they say, “Has YHWH only spoken by Moses? Has he not also spoken by us?” And YHWH hears.
et dixerunt num per solum Mosen locutus est Dominus nonne et nobis similiter est locutus quod cum audisset Dominus
3 And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the men who [are] on the face of the ground.
erat enim Moses vir mitissimus super omnes homines qui morabantur in terra
4 And YHWH suddenly says to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the Tent of Meeting”; and those three come out.
statim locutus est ad eum et ad Aaron et Mariam egredimini vos tantum tres ad tabernaculum foederis cumque fuissent egressi
5 And YHWH comes down in the pillar of the cloud, and stands at the opening of the tent, and calls Aaron and Miriam, and both of them come out.
descendit Dominus in columna nubis et stetit in introitu tabernaculi vocans Aaron et Mariam qui cum issent
6 And He says, “Now hear My words: If your prophet is of YHWH, I make Myself known to him in a vision; I 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 Not so My servant Moses; He [is] steadfast in all My house.
at non talis servus meus Moses qui in omni domo mea fidelissimus est
8 I speak with him mouth to mouth, Even [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; And he beholds the form of YHWH attentively. Now why have you not been afraid To speak against My servant—against 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 And the anger of YHWH burns against them, and He goes on,
iratusque contra eos abiit
10 and the cloud has turned aside from off the tent, and behold, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turns to Miriam, and behold, 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 And Aaron says to Moses, “O my lord, please do not lay [this] sin on us [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned;
ait ad Mosen obsecro domine mi ne inponas nobis hoc peccatum quod stulte commisimus
12 please do not let her be as [one] dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his mother—the half of his flesh is consumed.”
ne fiat haec quasi mortua et ut abortivum quod proicitur de vulva matris suae ecce iam medium carnis eius devoratum est lepra
13 And Moses cries to YHWH, saying, “O God, please give healing to her! Please!”
clamavitque Moses ad Dominum dicens Deus obsecro sana eam
14 And YHWH says to Moses, “But [if] her father had but spat in her face—is she not ashamed [for] seven days? She is shut out [for] seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterward she is gathered.”
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 And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp [for] seven days, and the people have not journeyed until Miriam is gathered;
exclusa est itaque Maria extra castra septem diebus et populus non est motus de loco illo donec revocata est Maria
16 and afterward the people have journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
profectus est de Aseroth fixis tentoriis in deserto Pharan
