Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife, an Ethiopian,
Y habló María y Aarón contra Moisés por causa de la mujer Etiopisa que había tomado; porque él había tomado mujer Etiopisa.
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,
Y dijeron: ¿Solamente por Moisés ha hablado Jehová? ¿No ha hablado también por nosotros? Y oyó Jehová.
3 (for Moses was a man exceedingly meek, beyond all the men who were living upon the earth)
Y aquel varón Moisés era muy manso, más que todos los hombres, que eran sobre la tierra.
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,
Y luego dijo Jehová a Moisés y a Aarón, y a María: Salíd vosotros tres al tabernáculo del testimonio. Y salieron ellos tres.
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,
Entonces Jehová descendió en la columna de la nube, y púsose a la puerta del tabernáculo, y llamó a Aarón y a María, y salieron ellos 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.
Y él les dijo: Oíd ahora mis palabras: Si tuviereis profeta de Jehová, yo le apareceré en visión, en sueños hablaré con él.
7 But it is not so with my servant Moses, who is the most faithful in all my house.
Mi siervo Moisés no es así: en toda mi casa es fiel.
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 hablaré con él, y de vista: y no por figuras o semejanza verá a Jehová: ¿por qué pues no hubisteis temor de hablar contra mi siervo Moisés?
9 And being angry against them, he went away.
Entonces el furor de Jehová se encendió en ellos y se fue;
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,
Y la nube se apartó del tabernáculo: y he aquí que María era leprosa como la nieve: Y miró Aarón a María, y he aquí que estaba leprosa.
11 he said to Moses: “I beg you, my lord, not to impose upon us this sin, which we have committed foolishly.
Y dijo Aarón a Moisés: Ay señor mío, no pongas ahora sobre nosotros pecado; porque locamente lo hemos hecho, y hemos 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.”
No sea ella ahora como el que sale muerto del vientre de su madre consumida la mitad de su carne.
13 And Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “O God, I beg you: heal her.”
Entonces Moisés clamó a Jehová, diciendo: Ruégote, oh Dios, que la sanes ahora.
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.”
Jehová respondió a Moisés: ¿Pues si su padre escupiendo hubiera escupido en su cara, no se avergonzaría por siete días? sea echada fuera del real por siete días; y después se juntará.
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.
Así María fue echada del real siete días, y el pueblo no pasó a delante hasta que María se juntó.
16 And the people set out from Hazeroth, and they pitched their tents in the desert of Paran.
Y después movió el pueblo de Jaserot, y asentaron el campo en el desierto de Farán.
