Numbers 12

1 Then Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a Cushite wife.

1 وَانْتَقَدَتْ مَرْيَمُ وَهروُنُ مُوسَى لِزَوَاجِهِ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ كُوشِيَّةٍ،

2 “Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.

2 وَقَالا: «هَلْ كَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَحْدَهُ؟ أَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضاً؟» فَسَمِعَ الرَّبُّ.

3 Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.

3 أَمَّا مُوسَى فَقَدْ كَانَ أَكْثَرَ حِلْماً مِنْ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ.

4 And suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three went out,

4 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ حَالاً لِمُوسَى وَهَرُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ: «اذْهَبُوا أَنْتُمُ الثَّلاثَةُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ». فَمَضَى ثَلاثَتُهُمْ.

5 and the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had stepped forward,

5 فَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ وَحَلَّ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، وَنَادَى هَرُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ، فَتَقَدَّمَا وَحْدَهُمَا،

6 He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.

6 فَقَالَ: «اسْمَعَا كَلامِي: إِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَكُمْ نَبِيٌّ لِلرَّبِّ فَإِنِّي أَسْتَعْلِنُ لَهُ بِالرُّؤْيَا، وَأُكَلِّمُهُ بِالْحُلْمِ،

7 But this is not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.

7 أَمَّا عَبْدِي مُوسَى فَلَسْتُ أُعَامِلُهُ هَكَذَا، بَلْ هُوَ أَمِينٌ فِي بَيْتِي،

8 I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?”

8 لِذَلِكَ أُكَلِّمُهُ وَجْهاً لِوَجْهٍ، وَبِوُضُوحٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَلْغَازٍ، وَيُعَايِنُ صُورَةَ الرَّبِّ. فَلِمَاذَا جَرُؤْتُمَا عَلَى انْتِقَادِ عَبْدِي مُوسَى؟»

9 So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.

9 وَاحْتَدَّ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمَا، ثُمَّ مَضَى عَنْهُمَا.

10 As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous,

10 فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنْ خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، إِذَا مَرْيَمُ بَرْصَاءُ كَالثَّلْجِ فَالْتَفَتَ هَرُونُ وَمُوسَى نَحْوَ مَرْيَمَ، وَإذَا هِيَ مُصَابَةٌ بِالْبَرَصِ.

11 and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.

11 فَقَالَ هَروُنُ لِمُوسَى: «أَرْجُوكَ يَا سَيِّدِي، لَا تُحَمِّلْنَا الْخَطِيئَةَ الَّتِي ارْتَكَبْنَاهَا كَالْحَمْقَى، وَأَسَأْنَا بِها إِلَيْكَ.

12 Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”

12 وَلا تَجْعَلْ مَرْيَمَ كَالْجَنِينِ الْمَيْتِ الْخَارِجِ مِنْ رَحِمِ أُمِّهِ وَقَدْ تَهَرَّأَ نِصْفُ لَحْمِهِ».

13 So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”

13 فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «اللهُمَّ اشْفِهَا».

14 But the LORD answered Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”

14 فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّبُّ: «لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَاهَا بَصَقَ فِي وَجْهِهَا، أَمَا كَانَتْ تَمْكُثُ خَجِلَةً سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ؟ فَلْتُحْجَزْ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تَرْجِعُ».

15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought in again.

15 فَحُجِزَتْ مَرْيَمُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ خَارِجَ الْمُخَيَّمِ، وَلَمْ يَرْتَحِلِ الشَّعْبُ حَتَّى عَادَتْ مَرْيَمُ،

16 After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.

16 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ارْتَحَلَ الشَّعْبُ مِنْ حَضَيْرُوتَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي صَحْرَاءِ فَارَانَ.
