اَلْعَدَد 12

١ 1 وَتَكَلَّمَتْ مَرْيَمُ وَهَارُونُ عَلَى مُوسَى بِسَبَبِ ٱلْمَرْأَةِ ٱلْكُوشِيَّةِ ٱلَّتِي ٱتَّخَذَهَا، لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدِ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱمْرَأَةً كُوشِيَّةً.

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

٢ 2 فَقَالَا: «هَلْ كَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى وَحْدَهُ؟ أَلَمْ يُكَلِّمْنَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا؟» فَسَمِعَ ٱلرَّبُّ.

And they said, Has Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? Has he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it.

٣ 3 وَأَمَّا ٱلرَّجُلُ مُوسَى فَكَانَ حَلِيمًا جِدًّا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلنَّاسِ ٱلَّذِينَ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْأَرْضِ.

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

٤ 4 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ حَالًا لِمُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ: «ٱخْرُجُوا أَنْتُمُ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ ٱلِٱجْتِمَاعِ». فَخَرَجُوا هُمُ ٱلثَّلَاثَةُ.

And Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three to the tent of meeting. And the three came out.

٥ 5 فَنَزَلَ ٱلرَّبُّ فِي عَمُودِ سَحَابٍ وَوَقَفَ فِي بَابِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ، وَدَعَا هَارُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ فَخَرَجَا كِلَاهُمَا.

And Jehovah 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.

٦ 6 فَقَالَ: «ٱسْمَعَا كَلَامِي. إِنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ نَبِيٌّ لِلرَّبِّ، فَبِالرُّؤْيَا أَسْتَعْلِنُ لَهُ. فِي ٱلْحُلْمِ أُكَلِّمُهُ.

And he said, Hear now my words. If there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

٧ 7 وَأَمَّا عَبْدِي مُوسَى فَلَيْسَ هَكَذَا، بَلْ هُوَ أَمِينٌ فِي كُلِّ بَيْتِي.

My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.

٨ 8 فَمًا إِلَى فَمٍ وَعَيَانًا أَتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ، لَا بِٱلْأَلْغَازِ. وَشِبْهَ ٱلرَّبِّ يُعَايِنُ. فَلِمَاذَا لَا تَخْشَيَانِ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَا عَلَى عَبْدِي مُوسَى؟».

With him I will speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches, and he has beheld the form of Jehovah. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

٩ 9 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمَا وَمَضَى.

And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he departed.

١٠ 10 فَلَمَّا ٱرْتَفَعَتِ ٱلسَّحَابَةُ عَنِ ٱلْخَيْمَةِ إِذَا مَرْيَمُ بَرْصَاءُ كَٱلثَّلْجِ. فَٱلْتَفَتَ هَارُونُ إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَإِذَا هِيَ بَرْصَاءُ.

And the cloud removed from over the tent. And, behold, Miriam was leprous, as snow. And Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

١١ 11 فَقَالَ هَارُونُ لِمُوسَى: «أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي، لَا تَجْعَلْ عَلَيْنَا ٱلْخَطِيَّةَ ٱلَّتِي حَمِقْنَا وَأَخْطَأْنَا بِهَا.

And Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.

١٢ 12 فَلَا تَكُنْ كَٱلْمَيْتِ ٱلَّذِي يَكُونُ عِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ مِنْ رَحِمِ أُمِّهِ قَدْ أُكِلَ نِصْفُ لَحْمِهِ».

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.

١٣ 13 فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ قَائِلًا: «ٱللَّهُمَّ ٱشْفِهَا».

And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee.

١٤ 14 فَقَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ لِمُوسَى: «وَلَوْ بَصَقَ أَبُوهَا بَصْقًا فِي وَجْهِهَا، أَمَا كَانَتْ تَخْجَلُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ؟ تُحْجَزُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ، وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ تُرْجَعُ».

And Jehovah said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.

١٥ 15 فَحُجِزَتْ مَرْيَمُ خَارِجَ ٱلْمَحَلَّةِ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ، وَلَمْ يَرْتَحِلِ ٱلشَّعْبُ حَتَّى أُرْجِعَتْ مَرْيَمُ.

And Miriam was shut up outside the camp seven days. And the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

١٦ 16 وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ٱرْتَحَلَ ٱلشَّعْبُ مِنْ حَضَيْرُوتَ وَنَزَلُوا فِي بَرِّيَّةِ فَارَانَ.

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