民数記 12

1 モーセはエテオピアの女を娶りたりしがそのエテオピアの女を娶りしをもてミリアムとアロン、モーセを謗れり

And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

2 彼等すなはち言けるはヱホバただモーセによりてのみ語りたまはんやまた我等によりても語り給ふにあらずやとヱホバこれを聞たまへり

And they said: 'Hath the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? hath He not spoken also with us?' And the LORD heard it. —

3 (モーセはその人と爲温柔なること世の中の諸の人に勝れり)

Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth. —

4 是に於てヱホバ遽にモーセ、アロン及びミリアムに言たまはく汝等三人集會の幕屋に出きたれと三人すなはち出きたりければ

And the LORD spoke suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam: 'Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting.' And they three came out.

5 ヱホバ雲の柱の中にありて降り幕屋の門に立てアロンとミリアムを呼たまひしがかれら二人進みたれば

And 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 forth.

6 之に言たまはく汝等わが言を聽け汝らの中にもし預言者あらば我ヱホバ異象において我をこれに知しめまた夢において之と語らん

And He said: 'Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream.

7 わが僕モーセに於ては然らず彼はわが家に忠義なる者なり

My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house;

8 彼とは我口をもて相語り明かに言ひて隠語を用ひず彼はまたヱホバの形を見るなり然るを汝等なんぞわが僕モーセを謗ることを畏れざるやと

with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?'

9 ヱホバかれらに向ひ忿怒を發して去たまへり

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and He departed.

10 雲すなはち幕屋をはなれて去ぬその時ミリアムに癩病生じてその身雪のごとく爲りアロン、ミリアムを見かへるに旣に癩病生じをる

And when the cloud was removed from over the Tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow; and Aaron looked upon Miriam; and, behold, she was leprous.

11 アロン是においてモーセに言けるは嗟わが主よ我等愚なる事をなして罪を犯したれど願くは其罪を我等に蒙らしむる勿れ

And Aaron said unto Moses: 'Oh my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.

12 彼をして母の胎より肉半分腐れて死て生れいづる者のごとくならしむる勿れ

Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.'

13 モーセすなはちヱホバに呼はりて言ふ嗚呼神よ願くは彼を醫したまへ

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying: 'Heal her now, O God, I beseech Thee.'

14 ヱホバ、モーセに言たまひけるは彼の父その面に唾する事ありてすら彼は七日の間羞をるべきに非ずや然ば七日の間かれを營の外に禁鎖おきて然る後に歸り入しむべしと

And the LORD said unto Moses: 'If her father had but spit in her face, should she not hide in shame seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.'

15 ミリアムはすなはち七日の間營の外に禁鎖られぬ民はミリアムの歸り入るまで途に進まざりき

And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days; and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

16 その後民ハゼロテより進みてバランの曠野に營を張り

And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
