1 Tad Mirjama un Ārons cēla iebildumus pret Mozu etiopietes dēļ, ko viņš bija sev ņēmis, jo viņš kādu etiopieti bija apņēmis par sievu. 2 Un tie kurnēja: "Vai Tas Kungs tikai ar Mozu vien ir runājis? Vai Viņš nav arī ar mums runājis?" 3 Un Tas Kungs to dzirdēja; bet šis vīrs, Mozus, bija ļoti lēnprātīgs, lēnprātīgāks nekā visi citi cilvēki virs zemes. 4 Tad Tas Kungs negaidot sacīja Mozum, Āronam un Mirjamai: "Iznāciet ārā jūs visi trīs kopā pie Saiešanas telts!" Un viņi visi trīs iznāca ārā. 5 Tad Tas Kungs nonāca mākoņa stabā, un Viņš stāvēja Saiešanas telts durvīs, un Viņš sauca Āronu un Mirjamu, un abi iznāca ārā. 6 Un Tas Kungs sacīja: "Klausiet tagad Manus vārdus! Ja jūsu vidū ir pravietis, tad Es, Tas Kungs, viņam atklājos vai nu parādībās, vai Es ar viņu runāju sapņos. 7 Tāds nav Mans kalps Mozus, kas visā Manā namā ir uzticams; 8 vaigu pret vaigu Es ar to runāju un ne ar parādībām, ne ar mīklām, bet redzēdams viņš ir redzējis Tā Kunga vaigu; kādēļ jūs nebīstaties runāt pret Manu kalpu Mozu?" 9 Un Tas Kungs iekaisa Savās dusmās pret tiem un aizgāja no viņiem. 10 Bet, kad mākonis atstājās nost no telts durvīm, tad redzi, Mirjama bija kļuvusi spitālīga kā sniegs; un, kad Ārons pagriezās pret Mirjamu, tad redzi, tā bija kļuvusi spitālīga. 11 Tad Ārons sacīja Mozum: "Mans pavēlniek, nepieskaiti, lūdzams, mums mūsu grēkus, ko mēs alodamies esam izdarījuši un ar ko esam apgrēkojušies! 12 Lai viņa, Mirjama, nav kā tāds, kas nedzīvs iziet no mātes miesām, kam viņa miesa jau ir pa pusei saēsta!" 13 Tad Mozus brēca uz To Kungu, lūgdamies: "Ak, Dievs, lūdzu dziedini viņu atkal!" 14 Un Tas Kungs atbildēja Mozum: "Kad viņas tēvs spļaudams viņas vaigā būtu spļāvis, vai tad tā nekaunētos septiņas dienas? Liec to ieslodzīt septiņas dienas ārpus nometnes, un pēc tam to atkal pieņemiet." 15 Tad Mirjama tika ieslodzīta ārpus nometnes septiņas dienas, bet tauta nekustējās no tās vietas, kamēr Mirjama nebija atkal uzņemta tās pulkā. 16 Bet pēc tam tauta atstāja Hacerotu un apmetās Pāranas tuksnesī.
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.
