1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it . 3 (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. 5 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. 6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. 7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. 8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? 9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
10 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. 11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. 12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb. 13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
14 ¶ And the LORD said unto 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 in again . 15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again . 16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
Mirjāma un Ārons kurn pret Mozu
1 Mirjāma un Ārons sāka runāt pret Mozu sievas kūšietes dēļ, ko viņš bija ņēmis, – jo viņš bija apņēmis par sievu kūšieti! 2 Viņi teica: “Vai tad Kungs ir runājis tikai ar Mozu, vai tad viņš nav runājis arī ar mums?!” Un Kungs to dzirdēja. 3 Bet Mozus bija ļoti pazemīgs, pazemīgāks par visiem cilvēkiem, kas mīt uz zemes.
4 Tad Kungs piepeši teica Mozum, Āronam un Mirjāmai: “Nāciet jūs trīs uz Saiešanas telti!” – un visi trīs gāja tur. 5 Kungs nolaidās mākoņu stabā, nostājās telts durvīs un sauca Āronu un Mirjāmu, un tie abi panācās uz priekšu. 6 Un viņš teica:
“Klausieties nu, ko es saku!
Ja kāds no jums būtu pravietis,
es, Kungs, viņam atklātos redzējumā,
sapnī ar viņu es runātu!
7 Ne tāds mans kalps Mozus!
Viņš ir uzticams visā manā namā!
8 Es ar viņu runāju pats,
parādos viņam skaidri, ne mīklās!
Viņš Kunga veidolu skata!
Kā gan jūs nebīstaties runāt pret manu kalpu Mozu?!”
9 Kunga dusmas iedegās pret viņiem, un viņš devās prom. 10 Kad no telts pacēlās mākonis, Mirjāma kļuva spitālīga kā sniegs, Ārons pagriezās pret Mirjāmu, un redzi – viņa bija spitālīga! 11 Tad Ārons teica Mozum: “Ak, mans kungs, neuzliec mums grēku, kaut esam bijuši dumji un grēkojuši! 12 Lai viņa nav kā nedzīva dzimusi, kam, jau no mātes miesām nākot, pagalam puse miesas!” 13 Un Mozus brēca uz Kungu, sacīdams: “Dievs, jel dziedini viņu!”
14 Un Kungs teica Mozum: “Ja viņas tēvs tai būtu iespļāvis sejā, vai tā nebūtu apkaunota septiņas dienas? Lai to ieslēdz uz septiņām dienām ārpus nometnes, un pēc tam viņa var nākt atpakaļ.” 15 Mirjāmu ieslēdza uz septiņām dienām ārpus nometnes, un tauta nedevās ceļā, kamēr Mirjāma nebija atpakaļ. 16 Pēc tam tauta aizgāja no Hacērotas un apmetās Pārānas tuksnesī.
