Numbers 12

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

摩西娶了古實女子為妻。米利暗和亞倫因他所娶的古實女子就毀謗他，說：

2 They said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Has not he spoken also with us?” And the LORD heard it.

「難道耶和華單與摩西說話，不也與我們說話嗎？」這話耶和華聽見了。（

3 Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.

摩西為人極其謙和，勝過世上的眾人。）

4 The LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.

耶和華忽然對摩西、亞倫、米利暗說：「你們三個人都出來，到會幕這裏。」他們三個人就出來了。

5 The LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.

耶和華在雲柱中降臨，站在會幕門口，召亞倫和米利暗，二人就出來了。

6 He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

耶和華說：「你們且聽我的話：你們中間若有先知，我－耶和華必在異象中向他顯現，在夢中與他說話。

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

我的僕人摩西不是這樣；他是在我全家盡忠的。

8 With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see the LORD’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”

我要與他面對面說話，乃是明說，不用謎語，並且他必見我的形像。你們毀謗我的僕人摩西，為何不懼怕呢？」

9 The LORD’s anger burned against them; and he departed.

耶和華就向他們二人發怒而去。

10 The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

雲彩從會幕上挪開了，不料，米利暗長了大痲瘋，有雪那樣白。亞倫一看米利暗長了大痲瘋，

11 Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please do not count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.

就對摩西說：「我主啊，求你不要因我們愚昧犯罪，便將這罪加在我們身上。

12 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.”

求你不要使她像那出母腹、肉已半爛的死胎。」

13 Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”

於是摩西哀求耶和華說：「上帝啊，求你醫治她！」

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

耶和華對摩西說：「她父親若吐唾沫在她臉上，她豈不蒙羞七天嗎？現在要把她在營外關鎖七天，然後才可以領她進來。」

15 Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam was brought in again.

於是米利暗關鎖在營外七天。百姓沒有行路，直等到把米利暗領進來。

16 Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

以後百姓從哈洗錄起行，在巴蘭的曠野安營。
