Numbers 12
1 [Moses’/My older sister] Miriam and [his/my older brother] Aaron were saying this: “Is Moses the only one to whom Yahweh has spoken messages to tell to us [RHQ]? Does Yahweh not speak messages to us two also?” [They told people that] they were saying that because Moses/I had married a woman who was a descendant of the Cush people-group, [but they were really saying that because they (were jealous/did not want Moses/me to be the only leader of the Israeli people)]. But Yahweh heard what they were saying.
E fallaram Miriam e Aarão contra Moysés, por causa da mulher cushita, que tomara: porquanto tinha tomado a mulher cushita.
E disseram: Porventura fallou o Senhor sómente por Moysés? não fallou tambem por nós? E o Senhor o ouviu.
3 [The truth was that] Moses/I was very humble. He/I was more humble than anyone else on the earth [and Moses/I had not appointed himself/myself to be their leader].
E era o homem Moysés mui manso, mais de que todos os homens que havia sobre a terra.
4 So immediately Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and to Aaron and Miriam. He said, “All three of you must go and stand at the Sacred Tent.” So they/we did that.
E logo o Senhor disse a Moysés, e a Aarão, e a Miriam: Vós tres sahi á tenda da congregação. E sairam elles tres.
5 Then Yahweh descended to the entrance of the tent in a cloud [that resembled a huge white] pillar. He told Aaron and Miriam to step forward, so they did.
Então o Senhor desceu na columna da nuvem, e se poz á porta da tenda: depois chamou a Aarão e a Miriam, e elles sairam ambos.
6 Then he said to them, “Listen to me! When a prophet is among you, I [usually] reveal myself to him by allowing him to see visions, and I speak to him in dreams.
E disse: Ouvi agora as minhas palavras; se entre vós houver propheta, Eu, o Senhor, em visão a elle me farei conhecer, ou em sonhos fallarei com elle.
7 But that is not the way I speak to my servant Moses. I trust that he will lead my people [well].
Não é assim com o meu servo Moysés que é fiel em toda a minha casa.
8 So I talk to him face-to-face. I speak to him (clearly/using words that he will understand easily), not using parables. He has even seen what I look like. So you should be afraid to criticize my servant Moses!”
Bocca a bocca fallo com elle, e de vista, e não por figuras; pois elle vê a similhança do Senhor: porque pois não tivestes temor de fallar contra o meu servo, contra Moysés?
9 Yahweh was very angry with Miriam and Aaron, and he left.
Assim a ira do Senhor contra elles se accendeu; e foi-se.
10 When the cloud rose up from the Sacred Tent, Aaron looked at Miriam, and he saw that her skin was [as white] as snow, because she now had leprosy.
E a nuvem se desviou de sobre a tenda; e eis que Miriam era leprosa como a neve: e olhou Aarão para Miriam, e eis qua era leprosa.
11 Aaron said to Moses/me, “My master, please do not punish us for this sin that we have foolishly committed.
Pelo que Aarão disse a Moysés: Ah senhor meu, ora não ponhas sobre nós este peccado, que fizemos loucamente, e com que havemos peccado.
12 Do not allow Miriam to be like a baby that is already dead when it is born, whose flesh is already half decayed!”
Ora não seja ella como um morto, que saindo do ventre de sua mãe, a metade da sua carne já está consumida.
13 So Moses/I cried out to Yahweh, saying, “God, I plead with you to heal her!”
Clamou pois Moysés ao Senhor, dizendo: O' Deus, rogo-te que a cures.
14 But Yahweh replied, “If her father had [rebuked her for doing something wrong by] spitting in her face, she would have been ashamed for seven days. [She should be ashamed because of what she has done]. So send her outside the camp for seven days. Then [she will not have leprosy any more, and] she may return to the camp.”
E disse o Senhor a Moysés: Se seu pae cuspira em seu rosto, não seria envergonhada sete dias? esteja fechada sete dias fóra do arraial, e depois a recolham.
15 So they sent her outside the camp for seven days. (The people/We) did not move [to another location] until she returned.
Assim Miriam esteve fechada fóra do arraial sete dias, e o povo não partiu, até que recolheram a Miriam.
16 But after [she returned], they/we left Hazeroth and moved [north] in the Paran Desert and set up their/our tents there.
Porém depois o povo partiu de Hazeroth; e assentaram o arraial no deserto de Paran.
