Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife, an Ethiopian,
E falaram Miriam e Aarão contra Moisés, por causa da mulher cushita, que tomara: porquanto tinha tomado a mulher cushita.
2 and they said: “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Has he not also spoken similarly to us?” And when the Lord had heard this,
E disseram: Porventura falou o Senhor somente por Moisés? não falou também por nós? E o Senhor o ouviu.
3 (for Moses was a man exceedingly meek, beyond all the men who were living upon the earth)
E era o homem Moisés mui manso, mais de que todos os homens que havia sobre a terra.
4 immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Miriam, “Go out, you three only, to the tabernacle of the covenant.” And when they had gone out,
E logo o Senhor disse a Moisés, e a Aarão, e a Miriam: Vós três saí à tenda da congregação. E sairam eles três.
5 the Lord descended in a column of cloud, and he stood at the entrance of the tabernacle, calling to Aaron and Miriam. And when they had advanced,
Então o Senhor desceu na coluna da nuvem, e se pôs à porta da tenda: depois chamou a Aarão e a Miriam, e eles sairam ambos.
6 he said to them: “Listen to my words. If there will be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him through a dream.
E disse: Ouvi agora as minhas palavras; se entre vós houver profeta, Eu, o Senhor, em visão a ele me farei conhecer, ou em sonhos falarei com ele.
7 But it is not so with my servant Moses, who is the most faithful in all my house.
Não é assim com o meu servo Moisés que é fiel em toda a minha casa.
8 For I speak with him mouth to mouth, and plainly. And not through enigmas and figures does he perceive the Lord. Therefore, why were you not afraid to disparage my servant Moses?”
Boca a boca falo com ele, e de vista, e não por figuras; pois ele vê a semelhança do Senhor: porque pois não tivestes temor de falar contra o meu servo, contra Moisés?
9 And being angry against them, he went away.
Assim a ira do Senhor contra eles se acendeu; e foi-se.
10 Likewise, the cloud which was over the tabernacle withdrew. And behold, Miriam appeared to be white with a leprosy, like snow. And when Aaron had looked upon her, and he had seen the spreading of the leprosy,
E a nuvem se desviou de sobre a tenda; e eis que Miriam era leprosa como a neve: e olhou Aarão para Miriam, e eis qua era leprosa.
11 he said to Moses: “I beg you, my lord, not to impose upon us this sin, which we have committed foolishly.
Pelo que Aarão disse a Moisés: Ah senhor meu, ora não ponhas sobre nós este pecado, que fizemos loucamente, e com que havemos pecado.
12 Do not let this one be like one who is dead, or like an abortion that has been cast from the womb of her mother. Behold, half of her flesh is already consumed by leprosy.”
Ora não seja ela como um morto, que saindo do ventre de sua mãe, a metade da sua carne já está consumida.
13 And Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “O God, I beg you: heal her.”
Clamou pois Moisés ao Senhor, dizendo: O' Deus, rogo-te que a cures.
14 And the Lord answered him: “If her father had spit on her face, should she not have been filled with shame for at least seven days? Let her be separated, outside the camp, for seven days, and after that, she will be called back.”
E disse o Senhor a Moisés: Se seu pai cuspira em seu rosto, não seria envergonhada sete dias? esteja fechada sete dias fora do arraial, e depois a recolham.
15 And so Miriam was excluded from the camp for seven days. And the people did not move from that place, until Miriam was called back.
Assim Miriam esteve fechada fora do arraial sete dias, e o povo não partiu, até que recolheram a Miriam.
16 And the people set out from Hazeroth, and they pitched their tents in the desert of Paran.
Porém depois o povo partiu de Hazeroth; e assentaram o arraial no deserto de Paran.
