Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, on account of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, —for, a Cushite woman, had he taken.
摩西娶了古實女子為妻。米利暗和亞倫因他所娶的古實女子就毀謗他，說：
2 And they said: Is it only and solely with Moses, that Yahweh hath spoken? With us also, hath he not spoken? And Yahweh heard it.
「難道耶和華單與摩西說話，不也與我們說話嗎？」這話耶和華聽見了。（
3 Now, the man Moses, was patient, exceedingly, —above all the sons of earth, who were on the face of the ground.
摩西為人極其謙和，勝過世上的眾人。）
4 Then said Yahweh suddenly, unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three went out.
耶和華忽然對摩西、亞倫、米利暗說：「你們三個人都出來，到會幕這裏。」他們三個人就出來了。
5 Then Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, —and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both went forth.
耶和華在雲柱中降臨，站在會幕門口，召亞倫和米利暗，二人就出來了。
6 Then said he Hear, I beseech you my words. When ye have your prophet, As Yahweh in a vision, will I make myself known, unto him; In a dream, will I speak with him.
耶和華說：「你們且聽我的話：你們中間若有先知，我－耶和華必在異象中向他顯現，在夢中與他說話。
7 Not so, my servant Moses, —In all my house, trusty, is he:
我的僕人摩西不是這樣；他是在我全家盡忠的。
8 Mouth to mouth, do I speak with him And plainly—not in dark sayings, And the form of Yahweh, doth he discern, —Wherefore then, were ye not afraid to speak against my servant—against Moses?
我要與他面對面說話，乃是明說，不用謎語，並且他必見我的形像。你們毀謗我的僕人摩西，為何不懼怕呢？」
9 And the anger of Yahweh kindled upon them and he departed.
耶和華就向他們二人發怒而去。
10 And, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent, —lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam and lo! …leprous!
雲彩從會幕上挪開了，不料，米利暗長了大痲瘋，有雪那樣白。亞倫一看米利暗長了大痲瘋，
11 Then said Aaron unto Moses, —Oh my lord, do not I beseech thee lay upon us sin, although we have made ourselves foolish, and although we have sinned.
就對摩西說：「我主啊，求你不要因我們愚昧犯罪，便將這罪加在我們身上。
12 Let her not, I beseech thee, remain like the still-born, —which when it is born of its mother, the half of its flesh is consumed.
求你不要使她像那出母腹、肉已半爛的死胎。」
13 Then Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —O GOD, I beseech thee grant healing. I beseech thee unto her.
於是摩西哀求耶和華說：「上帝啊，求你醫治她！」
14 And Yahweh said unto Moses: If, her own father, had, but spat, in her face, would she not, have acknowledged the shame for seven days? Let her shut herself up for seven days, outside the camp, and afterwards, let her be received back.
耶和華對摩西說：「她父親若吐唾沫在她臉上，她豈不蒙羞七天嗎？現在要把她在營外關鎖七天，然後才可以領她進來。」
15 So Miriam shut herself up, outside the camp, for seven days, —and, the people, set not forward, until Miriam had been received back.
於是米利暗關鎖在營外七天。百姓沒有行路，直等到把米利暗領進來。
16 Then afterwards, did the people set forward from Hazeroth, and encamped in the desert of Paran.
以後百姓從哈洗錄起行，在巴蘭的曠野安營。
