Liber Numeri 12
1 Locutaque est Maria et Aaron contra Moysen propter uxorem eius Aethiopissam,
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
2 et dixerunt: Num per solum Moysen locutus est Dominus? nonne et nobis similiter est locutus? Quod cum audisset Dominus iratus est,
They said, "Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us?" And the LORD heard it.
3 (Erat enim Moyses vir mitissimus super omnes homines qui morabantur in terra)
Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth.
4 statim locutus est Dominus ad eum, et ad Aaron et Mariam: Egredimini vos tantum tres ad tabernaculum foederis. Cumque fuissent egressi,
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.
5 descendit Dominus in columna nubis, et stetit in introitu tabernaculi vocans Aaron et Mariam. Qui cum issent,
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.
6 dixit ad eos: Audite sermones meos: si quis fuerit inter vos propheta Domini, in visione apparebo ei, vel per somnium loquar ad illum.
He said, "Hear now 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.
7 At non talis servus meus Moyses, qui in omni domo mea fidelissimus est:
My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.
8 ore enim ad os loquor ei: et palam, et non per aenigmata et figuras Dominum videt. Quare ergo non timuistis detrahere servo meo Moysi?
With him I will speak mouth to mouth, even openly, 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?"
9 Iratusque contra eos, abiit:
The anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
10 nubes quoque recessit quae erat super tabernaculum: et ecce Maria apparuit candens lepra quasi nix. Cumque respexisset eam Aaron, et vidisset perfusam lepra,
The cloud departed from over the Tent; and look, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and look, she was leprous.
11 ait ad Moysen: Obsecro domine mi, ne imponas nobis hoc peccatum quod stulte commisimus,
Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, please do not count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.
12 ne fiat haec quasi mortua, et ut abortivum quod proiicitur de vulva matris suae. ecce iam medium carnis eius devoratum est a lepra.
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."
13 Clamavitque Moyses ad Dominum, dicens: Deus, obsecro, sana eam.
Moses cried to the LORD, saying, "Heal her, God, I beg you."
14 Cui respondit Dominus: Si pater eius spuisset in faciem illius, nonne debuerat saltem septem diebus rubore suffundi? Separetur septem diebus extra castra, et postea revocabitur.
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."
15 Exclusa est itaque Maria extra castra septem diebus: et populus non est motus de loco illo, donec revocata est Maria.
Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam was brought in again.
16 Profectusque est populus de Haseroth fixis tentoriis in deserto Pharan.
Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
