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

وَتَكَلَّمَتْ مَريَمُ وَهارُونُ عَلَى مُوسَى بِسَبَبِ المَرأةِ الكُوشِيَّةِ الَّتِي كانَ تَزَوَّجَها، لأنَّهُ كانَ قَدْ تَزَوَّجَ امْرأةً كُوشِيَّةً،

2 A nd they said, Hath Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? hath he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it.

فَقالا: «هَلْ تَكَلَّمَ اللهُ مِنْ خِلالِ مُوسَى فَقَطْ؟ ألَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ مِنْ خِلالِنا أيضاً؟» فَسَمِعَ اللهُ هَذا الكَلامَ.

3 N ow the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the earth.

أمّا مُوسَى فَقَدْ كانَ مُتَواضِعاً جِدّاً أكثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ النّاسِ عَلَى الأرْضِ.

4 A nd Jehovah spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three came out.

وَفَوراً، قالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى وَهارُونَ وَمَريَمَ: «اخرُجُوا ثَلاثَتُكُمْ إلَى خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ.» فَخَرَجَ ثَلاثَتُهُمْ.

5 A nd Jehovah came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

ثُمَّ نَزَلَ اللهُ فِي عَمُودِ سَحابٍ وَوَقَفَ فِي مَدخَلِ الخَيمَةِ، وَدَعا هارُونَ وَمَريَمَ، فَخَرَجَ كِلاهُما.

6 A nd he said, Hear now my words: if there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known unto him in a vision, I will speak with him in a dream.

فَقالَ اللهُ: «اسْمَعا كَلامِيَ: حِينَ يَكُونُ هُناكَ نَبِيٌّ بَينَكُمْ فَإنَّنِي، أنا اللهَ ، أُعلِنُ عَنْ نَفسِي لَهُ بِرُؤْيا، وَقَدْ أتَكَلَّمُ مَعَهُ فِي حُلْمٍ.

7 M y servant Moses is not so; he is faithful in all my house:

لَكِنِّي لا أتَعامَلُ هَكَذا مَعَ خادِمِي مُوسَى، فَأنا أثِقُ بِمُوسَى فِي كُلِّ شُؤُونِ بَيتِي.

8 w ith him will I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the form of Jehovah shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?

أتَكَلَّمُ إلَيهِ مُباشَرَةً وَبِوُضُوحٍ وَلَيسَ بِألغازٍ، وَهُوَ يَرَى شَكلَ اللهِ. كَيفَ لَمْ تَخافا مِنَ الإساءَةِ لِخادِمِي مُوسَى؟»

9 A nd the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them; and he departed.

وَاشتَعَلَ غَضَبُ اللهِ عَلَيهِما وَتَرَكَهُما.

10 A nd the cloud removed from over the Tent; and, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

وَحِينَ ارتَفَعَتِ السَّحابَةُ مِنَ الخَيمَةِ، كانَ جِلْدُ مَريَمَ أبْيَضَ كَالثَّلجِ. فَرآها هارُونُ وَعَرَفَ أنَّها بَرْصاءُ.

11 A nd Aaron said unto Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.

فَقالَ هارُونُ لِمُوسَى: «يا سَيِّدِي، لا تُعاقِبْنا، فَقَدْ تَصَرَّفْنا بِحَماقَةٍ وَأخطَأْنا.

12 L et her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.

فَلا تَتْرُكْها حَتَّى يَنْسَلِخَ جِلْدُها كَطِفلٍ وُلِدَ مَيِّتاً نِصْفَ مُشَوَّهٍ.»

13 A nd Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee.

فَصَرَخَ مُوسَى إلَى اللهِ: «يا اللهُ، اشْفِها.»

14 A nd Jehovah said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.

فَقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى: «لَو بَصَقَ أبوها فِي وَجهِها، أفَما كانَتْ سَتَبقَى مَخزِيَّةً لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ. فَلْتُطْرَدْ خارِجَ المُخَيَّمِ لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ، وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ تَعُودُ.»

15 A nd Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

فَوَضَعُوا مَريَمَ خارِجَ المُخَيَّمِ لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ. وَلَمْ يَرتَحِلِ الشَّعبُ حَتَّى عادَتْ مَريَمُ.

16 A nd afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

وَبَعدَ ذَلِكَ ارْتَحَلَ الشَّعبُ مِنْ حَضَيرُوتَ وَخَيَّمُوا فِي بَرِّيَّةِ فارانَ.
