< Numbers 12 >

1 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
وَانْتَقَدَتْ مَرْيَمُ وَهروُنُ مُوسَى لِزَوَاجِهِ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ كُوشِيَّةٍ،١
2 They said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn’t he spoken also with us?” And the LORD heard it.
وَقَالا: «هَلْ كَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَحْدَهُ؟ أَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً؟» فَسَمِعَ الرَّبُّ.٢
3 Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.
أَمَّا مُوسَى فَقَدْ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ حِلْماً مِنْ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ.٣
4 The LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ حَالاً لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ: «اذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمُ الثَّلاثَةُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ». فَمَضَى ثَلاثَتُهُمْ.٤
5 The LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.
فَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ وَحَلَّ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، وَنَادَى هَرُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ، فَتَقَدَّمَا وَحْدَهُمَا،٥
6 He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.
فَقَالَ: «اسْمَعَا كَلامِي: إِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ نَبِيٌّ لِلرَّبِّ فَإِنِّي أَسْتَعْلِنُ لَهُ بِالرُّؤْيَا، وَأُكَلِّمُهُ بِالْحُلْمِ،٦
7 My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.
أَمَّا عَبْدِي مُوسَى فَلَسْتُ أُعَامِلُهُ هَكَذَا، بَلْ هُوَ أَمِينٌ فِي بَيْتِي،٧
8 With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see the LORD’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”
لِذَلِكَ أُكَلِّمُهُ وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ، وَبِوُضُوحٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَلْغَازٍ، وَيُعَايِنُ صُورَةَ الرَّبِّ. فَلِمَاذَا جَرُؤْتُمَا عَلَى انْتِقَادِ عَبْدِي مُوسَى؟»٨
9 The LORD’s anger burned against them; and he departed.
وَاحْتَدَّ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمَا، ثُمَّ مَضَى عَنْهُمَا.٩
10 The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.
فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنْ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، إِذَا مَرْيَمُ بَرْصَاءُ كَالثَّلْجِ فَالْتَفَتَ هَرُونُ وَمُوسَى نَحْوَ مَرْيَمَ، وَإذَا هِيَ مُصَابَةٌ بِالْبَرَصِ.١٠
11 Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please don’t count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.
فَقَالَ هَروُنُ لِمُوسَى: «أَرْجُوكَ يَا سَيِّدِي، لَا تُحَمِّلْنَا الْخَطِيئَةَ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبْنَاهَا كَالْحَمْقَى، وَأَسَأْنَا بِها إِلَيْكَ.١١
12 Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
وَلا تَجْعَلْ مَرْيَمَ كَالْجَنِينِ الْمَيْتِ الْخَارِجِ مِنْ رَحِمِ أُمِّهِ وَقَدْ تَهَرَّأَ نِصْفُ لَحْمِهِ».١٢
13 Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”
فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «اللهُمَّ اشْفِهَا».١٣
14 The LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn’t she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.”
فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَاهَا بَصَقَ فِي وَجْهِهَا، أَمَا كَانَتْ تَمْكُثُ خَجِلَةً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ؟ فَلْتُحْجَزْ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَرْجِعُ».١٤
15 Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people didn’t travel until Miriam was brought in again.
فَحُجِزَتْ مَرْيَمُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، وَلَمْ يَرْتَحِلِ الشَّعْبُ حَتَّى عَادَتْ مَرْيَمُ،١٥
16 Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ارْتَحَلَ الشَّعْبُ مِنْ حَضَيْرُوتَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ.١٦
