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, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD 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 the LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three to the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

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

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.

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 is a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known to him in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream.

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

My servant Moses is not so, who 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 will I speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

٩ 9 فَحَمِيَ غَضَبُ ٱلرَّبِّ عَلَيْهِمَا وَمَضَى.

And the anger of the LORD 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 departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white 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, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the 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 be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.

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

And Moses cried to the LORD, saying, Heal her now, 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 the LORD said to 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 again.

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

And Miriam was shut out from 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 departed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
