اَلْعَدَد 12

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

And Miriam speaks—Aaron also—against Moses concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, for he had taken a Cushite woman;

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

and they say, “Has YHWH only spoken by Moses? Has he not also spoken by us?” And YHWH hears.

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

And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the men who [are] on the face of the ground.

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

And YHWH suddenly says to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the Tent of Meeting”; and those three come out.

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

And YHWH comes down in the pillar of the cloud, and stands at the opening of the tent, and calls Aaron and Miriam, and both of them come out.

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

And He says, “Now hear My words: If your prophet is of YHWH, I make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream.

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

Not so My servant Moses; He [is] steadfast 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؟».

I speak with him mouth to mouth, Even [by] an appearance, and not in riddles; And he beholds the form of YHWH attentively. Now why have you not been afraid To speak against My servant—against Moses?”

٩ 9 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمَا وَمَضَى.

And the anger of YHWH burns against them, and He goes on,

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

and the cloud has turned aside from off the tent, and behold, Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turns to Miriam, and behold, leprous!

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

And Aaron says to Moses, “O my lord, please do not lay [this] sin on us [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which we have sinned;

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

please do not let her be as [one] dead, when in his coming out from the womb of his mother—the half of his flesh is consumed.”

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

And Moses cries to YHWH, saying, “O God, please give healing to her! Please!”

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 YHWH says to Moses, “But [if] her father had but spat in her face—is she not ashamed [for] seven days? She is shut out [for] seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterward she is gathered.”

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

And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp [for] seven days, and the people have not journeyed until Miriam is gathered;

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

and afterward the people have journeyed from Hazeroth, and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran.
