민수기 12
1 모세가 구스 여자를 취하였더니 그 구스 여자를 취하였으므로 미리암과 아론이 모세를 비방하니라
[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.
2 그들이 이르되 `여호와께서 모세와만 말씀하셨느냐? 우리와도 말씀하지 아니하셨느냐?' 하매 여호와께서 이 말을 들으셨더라
3 이 사람 모세는 온유함이 지면의 모든 사람보다 승하더라
[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].
4 여호와께서 갑자기 모세와 아론과 미리암에게 이르시되 너희 삼인은 회막으로 나아오라 하시니 그 삼인이 나아가매
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.
5 여호와께서 구름 기둥 가운데로서 강림하사 장막 문에 서시고 아론과 미리암을 부르시는지라 그 두 사람이 나아가매
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.
6 이르시되 내 말을 들으라 너희 중에 선지자가 있으면 나 여호와가 이상으로 나를 그에게 알리기도 하고 꿈으로 그와 말하기도 하거니와
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.
7 내 종 모세와는 그렇지 아니하니 그는 나의 온 집에 충성됨이라
But that is not the way I speak to my servant Moses. I trust that he will lead my people [well].
8 그와는 내가 대면하여 명백히 말하고 은밀한 말로 아니하며 그는 또 여호와의 형상을 보겠거늘 너희가 어찌하여 내 종 모세 비방하기를 두려워 아니하느냐?
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!”
9 여호와께서 그들을 향하여 진노하시고 떠나시매
Yahweh was very angry with Miriam and Aaron, and he left.
10 구름이 장막 위에서 떠나갔고 미리암은 문둥병이 들려 눈과 같더라 아론이 미리암을 본즉 문둥병이 들었는지라
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.
11 아론이 이에 모세에게 이르되 `슬프다, 내 주여! 우리가 우매한 일을 하여 죄를 얻었으나 청컨대 그 허물을 우리에게 돌리지 마소서
Aaron said to Moses/me, “My master, please do not punish us for this sin that we have foolishly committed.
12 그로 살이 반이나 썩고 죽어서 모태에서 나온 자 같이 되게 마옵소서!'
Do not allow Miriam to be like a baby that is already dead when it is born, whose flesh is already half decayed!”
13 모세가 여호와께 부르짖어 가로되 `하나님이여! 원컨대 그를 고쳐 주옵소서!'
So Moses/I cried out to Yahweh, saying, “God, I plead with you to heal her!”
14 여호와께서 모세에게 이르시되 그의 아비가 그의 얼굴에 침을 뱉았을 지라도 그가 칠일간 부끄러워 하지 않겠느냐? 그런즉 그를 진 밖에 칠일을 가두고 그 후에 들어오게 할지니라 하시니
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.”
15 이에 미리암이 진 밖에 칠일동안 갇혔고 백성은 그를 다시 들어 오게 하기까지 진행치 아니하다가
So they sent her outside the camp for seven days. (The people/We) did not move [to another location] until she returned.
16 그 후에 백성이 하세롯에서 진행하여 바란 광야에 진을 치니라
But after [she returned], they/we left Hazeroth and moved [north] in the Paran Desert and set up their/our tents there.
