Numbers 12

وَتَكَلَّمَتْ مَرْيَمُ وَهَارُونُ عَلَى مُوسَى بِسَبَبِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْكُوشِيَّةِ الَّتِي اتَّخَذَهَا، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدِ اتَّخَذَ امْرَأَةً كُوشِيَّةً.

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

فَقَالاَ: «هَلْ كَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَحْدَهُ؟ أَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا؟» فَسَمِعَ الرَّبُّ.

And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.

وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ مُوسَى فَكَانَ حَلِيمًا جِدًّا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ النَّاسِ الَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ الأَرْضِ.

(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ حَالاً لِمُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ: «اخْرُجُوا أَنْتُمُ الثَّلاَثَةُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ». فَخَرَجُوا هُمُ الثَّلاَثَةُ.

And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

فَنَزَلَ الرَّبُّ فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ وَوَقَفَ فِي بَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، وَدَعَا هَارُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ فَخَرَجَا كِلاَهُمَا.

And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

فَقَالَ: «اسْمَعَا كَلاَمِي. إِنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ نَبِيٌّ لِلرَّبِّ، فَبِالرُّؤْيَا أَسْتَعْلِنُ لَهُ. فِي الْحُلْمِ أُكَلِّمُهُ.

And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

وَأَمَّا عَبْدِي مُوسَى فَلَيْسَ هكَذَا، بَلْ هُوَ أَمِينٌ فِي كُلِّ بَيْتِي.

My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

فَمًا إِلَى فَمٍ وَعَيَانًا أَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ، لاَ بِالأَلْغَازِ. وَشِبْهَ الرَّبِّ يُعَايِنُ. فَلِمَاذَا لاَ تَخْشَيَانِ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَا عَلَى عَبْدِي مُوسَى؟».

With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمَا وَمَضَى.

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

فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَتِ السَّحَابَةُ عَنِ الْخَيْمَةِ إِذَا مَرْيَمُ بَرْصَاءُ كَالثَّلْجِ. فَالْتَفَتَ هَارُونُ إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَإِذَا هِيَ بَرْصَاءُ.

And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

فَقَالَ هَارُونُ لِمُوسَى: «أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي، لاَ تَجْعَلْ عَلَيْنَا الْخَطِيَّةَ الَّتِي حَمِقْنَا وَأَخْطَأْنَا بِهَا.

And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

فَلاَ تَكُنْ كَالْمَيْتِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ مِنْ رَحِمِ أُمِّهِ قَدْ أُكِلَ نِصْفُ لَحْمِهِ».

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

فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى الرَّبِّ قَائِلاً: «اللّهُمَّ اشْفِهَا».

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

فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «وَلَوْ بَصَقَ أَبُوهَا بَصْقًا فِي وَجْهِهَا، أَمَا كَانَتْ تَخْجَلُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ؟ تُحْجَزُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ خَارِجَ الْمَحَلَّةِ، وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ تُرْجَعُ».

And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.

فَحُجِزَتْ مَرْيَمُ خَارِجَ الْمَحَلَّةِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَمْ يَرْتَحِلِ الشَّعْبُ حَتَّى أُرْجِعَتْ مَرْيَمُ.

And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

وَبَعْدَ ذلِكَ ارْتَحَلَ الشَّعْبُ مِنْ حَضَيْرُوتَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ.

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