Numbers 12
1 And Marie spak and Aaron ayens Moises, for his wijf a womman of Ethiope,
米黎盎和亞郎為了梅瑟所娶的雇士女人出言反對梅瑟，因為他娶了個雇士女人，
2 and seiden, Whethir God spak oneli by Moises? whethir he spak not also to vs in lijk maner? And whanne the Lord hadde herd this, he was wrooth greetli;
於是說：「上主豈只與梅瑟交談，不是也與我們交談過! 」上主聽見了這話。
3 for Moises was the myldest man, ouer alle men that dwelliden in erthe.
梅瑟為人十分謙和，超過地上所有的人。
4 And anoon the Lord spak to Moises and to Aaron and to Marye, Go out ye thre aloone to the tabernacle of boond of pees. And whanne thei weren gon yn,
上主忽然向梅瑟、亞郎和米黎盎說：「你們三人到會幕那裏去。」他們三人就去了。
5 the Lord cam doun in a piler of cloude, and he stood in the entryng of the tabernacle, and clepide Aaron and Marie.
上主乘雲柱降下，停在會幕門口，叫亞郎和米黎盎；他們兩人就走向前去，
6 And whanne thei hadden go, he seide to hem, Here ye my wordis; if ony among you is a profete of the Lord, Y schal appere to hym in reuelacioun, ethir Y schal speke to hym bi `a dreem.
上主說：「你們聽我說：若你們中有一位是先知，我要在神視中顯示給他，在夢中與他談話；
7 And he seide, And my seruaunt Moises is not siche, which is moost feithful in al myn hows;
但對我的僕人梅瑟卻不是這樣，他在我全家中是最忠信可靠的。
8 for Y speke to hym mouth to mouth, and he seeth God opynli, and not bi derke spechis and figuris. Why therfor dredden ye not to bacbite `ether depraue my seruaunt Moises?
我面對面與他明明說話，不藉謎語，並讓他望見上主的形像。為什麼你們竟不怕出言反對我的僕人梅瑟﹖」
9 And the Lord was wrooth ayens hem, and he wente a wei.
上主對他們發著怒走了。
10 And the cloude yede awei, that was on the tabernacle and lo! Marie apperide whijt with lepre as snow. And whanne Aaron biheelde hir, and siy hir bispreynd with lepre,
彩雲一離開會幕，看，米黎盎就生了癩病，像雪那樣白；亞郎轉身看見米黎盎生了癩病，
11 he seide to Moises, My lord, Y beseche, putte thou not this synne on vs,
遂對梅瑟說：「我主，懇求你，別使我們因一時愚昧所犯之罪而受罰!
12 which we diden folili, that this womman be not maad as deed, and as a deed borun thing which is cast out of the `wombe of his modir; lo! now the half of hir fleisch is deuourid with lepre.
求你別讓她像個胎死腹中的人，一出娘胎，肉身就已腐爛了一半。」
13 And Moises criede to the Lord, and seide, Lord, Y biseche, heele thou hir.
梅瑟遂向上主呼求說：「天主，我求你治好她罷! 」
14 To whom the Lord answerid, If hir fadir hadde spet in to hir face, where sche ouyte not to be fillid with schame, nameli in seuene daies? Therfor be sche departid out of the tentis bi seuen daies, and aftirward sche schal be clepid ayen.
上主對梅瑟說：「若她的父親在她面上吐唾沫，她豈不要七天忍此羞辱，七天把她隔離在營外，然後才讓她回來﹖」
15 And so Marie was excludid out of the tentis bi seuene daies; and the puple was not mouyd fro that place, til Marie was clepid ayen.
於是米黎盎七天之久，被隔離在營外；民眾也沒有起程，直到米黎盎回來。
16 And the puple yede forth fro Asseroth, whanne the tentis weren set in the deseert of Pharan.
以後，民眾由哈茲洛特起程出發，在帕蘭曠野紮了營。
