The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
1 locutaque est Maria et Aaron contra Mosen propter uxorem eius aethiopissam
1
Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite.
2 et dixerunt num per solum Mosen locutus est Dominus nonne et nobis similiter est locutus quod cum audisset Dominus
2
“Has the LORD spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” And the LORD heard this.
3 erat enim Moses vir mitissimus super omnes homines qui morabantur in terra
3
(Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.)
4 statim locutus est ad eum et ad Aaron et Mariam egredimini vos tantum tres ad tabernaculum foederis cumque fuissent egressi
4
At once the LORD said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, “Come out to the tent of meeting, all three of you.” So the three of them went out.
5 descendit Dominus in columna nubis et stetit in introitu tabernaculi vocans Aaron et Mariam qui cum issent
5
Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud; he stood at the entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them stepped forward,
6 dixit ad eos audite sermones meos si quis fuerit inter vos propheta Domini in visione apparebo ei vel per somnium loquar ad illum
6
he said, “Listen to my words: “When there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.
7 at non talis servus meus Moses qui in omni domo mea fidelissimus est
7
But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.
8 ore enim ad os loquor ei et palam non per enigmata et figuras Dominum videt quare igitur non timuistis detrahere servo meo Mosi
8
With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”
9 iratusque contra eos abiit
9
The anger of the LORD burned against them, and he left them.
10 nubes quoque recessit quae erat super tabernaculum et ecce Maria apparuit candens lepra quasi nix cumque respexisset eam Aaron et vidisset perfusam lepra
10
When the cloud lifted from above the tent, Miriam’s skin was leprous —it became as white as snow. Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a defiling skin disease,
11 ait ad Mosen obsecro domine mi ne inponas nobis hoc peccatum quod stulte commisimus
11
and he said to Moses, “Please, my lord, I ask you not to hold against us the sin we have so foolishly committed.
12 ne fiat haec quasi mortua et ut abortivum quod proicitur de vulva matris suae ecce iam medium carnis eius devoratum est lepra
12
Do not let her be like a stillborn infant coming from its mother’s womb with its flesh half eaten away.”
13 clamavitque Moses ad Dominum dicens Deus obsecro sana eam
13
So Moses cried out to the LORD, “Please, God, heal her!”
14 cui respondit Dominus si pater eius spuisset in faciem illius nonne debuerat saltem septem dierum rubore suffundi separetur septem diebus extra castra et postea revocabitur
14
The LORD replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her outside the camp for seven days; after that she can be brought back.”
15 exclusa est itaque Maria extra castra septem diebus et populus non est motus de loco illo donec revocata est Maria
15
So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back.
16
16
After that, the people left Hazeroth and encamped in the Desert of Paran.
