Mi-ri-am Mắc Bịnh Phung
12 Mi-ri-am và A-rôn nói hành Môi-se vì người vợ quê ở xứ Cút mà Môi-se đã cưới, vì Môi-se đã cưới bà này làm vợ. 2 Hai người nói: “Không lẽ CHÚA chỉ phán dạy qua một mình Môi-se mà thôi sao? Ngài không dùng chúng ta mà phán dạy sao?” CHÚA nghe lời đó.
3 Môi-se là một người rất khiêm tốn, khiêm tốn nhất trần gian.
4 Lập tức CHÚA bảo Môi-se, A-rôn và Mi-ri-am: “Cả ba hãy ra Trại Hội Kiến.” Ba người đều đi. 5 CHÚA ngự xuống trong trụ mây và đứng tại cửa Trại Hội Kiến, rồi gọi A-rôn và Mi-ri-am đến. Hai người đều bước tới. 6 CHÚA phán: “Hãy lắng nghe lời Ta:
Khi một nhà tiên tri xuất hiện giữa các ngươi,
Ta bày tỏ chính mình Ta cho người ấy trong khải tượng.
Ta phán dạy người trong giấc mộng.
7 Nhưng trường hợp Môi-se đầy tớ Ta không giống như vậy,
người thật trung tín trong cả nhà Ta.
8 Ta trò chuyện với người đối mặt
Cách rõ ràng, không dùng lời bí ẩn,
Và người thấy hình dạng CHÚA.
Vậy, sao các ngươi không sợ nói hành đầy tớ Ta là Môi-se?”
9 Cơn thịnh nộ của CHÚA nổi phừng với A-rôn và Mi-ri-am và Ngài bỏ họ ngự đi.
10 Khi trụ mây cất lên khỏi trại thì Mi-ri-am bị phung trắng như tuyết. A-rôn quay lại nhìn Mi-ri-am, thấy bà đã mắc bệnh phung. 11 A-rôn nói với Môi-se: “Chủ tôi ơi, xin đừng chấp lỗi chúng tôi đã phạm cách điên dại, 12 xin đừng để chị như đứa bé chết vừa ra khỏi lòng mẹ vì một nửa da thịt đã bị thiêu hủy.”
13 Môi-se kêu cầu CHÚA: “Lạy Đức Chúa Trời, xin Ngài chữa lành cho chị!”
14 CHÚA đáp lời Môi-se: “Nếu bị cha mình nhổ trên mặt thì nó không bị hổ thẹn bảy ngày sao? Hãy cầm giữ nàng ngoài trại quân bảy ngày, sau đó nàng sẽ lại được đem vào.” 15 Vậy, Mi-ri-am bị cầm giữ bên ngoài trại quân bảy ngày. Dân chúng không ra đi cho đến ngày nàng được đem về trại quân.
16 Sau đó, dân chúng rời Hát-sê-rốt ra đi và cắm trại tại sa mạc Pha-ran.
Numbers 12
King James Version
12 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.
Numbers 12
New King James Version
Dissension of Aaron and Miriam
12 Then (A)Miriam and Aaron [a]spoke (B)against Moses because of the [b]Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for (C)he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2 So they said, “Has the Lord indeed spoken only through (D)Moses? (E)Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord (F)heard it. 3 (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who were on the face of the earth.)
4 (G)Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tabernacle of meeting!” So the three came out. 5 (H)Then the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam. And they both went forward. 6 Then He said,
“Hear now My words:
If there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, make Myself known to him (I)in a vision;
I speak to him (J)in a dream.
7 Not so with (K)My servant Moses;
(L)He is faithful in all (M)My house.
8 I speak with him (N)face to face,
Even (O)plainly,[c] and not in [d]dark sayings;
And he sees (P)the form of the Lord.
Why then (Q)were you not afraid
To speak against My servant Moses?”
9 So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed. 10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, (R)suddenly Miriam became (S)leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper. 11 So Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord! Please (T)do not lay [e]this sin on us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned. 12 Please (U)do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”
13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please (V)heal her, O God, I pray!”
14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but (W)spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be (X)shut[f] out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again.” 15 (Y)So Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in again. 16 And afterward the people moved from (Z)Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
