Liber Numeri

Locutaque est Maria et Aaron contra Moysen propter uxorem ejus Æthiopissam,

And Mary and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife the Ethiopian,

Et loque es Maria et Aarone contra Moyse propter uxore de illo Aethiopessa,

et dixerunt: Num per solum Moysen locutus est Dominus? nonne et nobis similiter est locutus? Quod cum audisset Dominus

And they said: Hath the Lord spoken by Moses only? Hath he not also spoken to us in like manner? And when the Lord heard this,

Et dic: an per solo Moyse locuto es Domino? Nonne et ad nos similiter es locuto? Domino cum audi quod

(erat enim Moyses vir mitissimus super omnes homines qui morabantur in terra),

(For Moses was a man exceeding meek above all men that dwelt upon earth)

(Es nam Moyse viro mite super omni homines qui moror in terra),

statim locutus est ad eum, et ad Aaron et Mariam: Egredimini vos tantum tres ad tabernaculum fœderis. Cumque fuissent egressi,

Immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Mary: Come out you three only to the tabernacle of the covenant. And when they were come out,

Statim locuto es ad illo, et ad Aarone et Maria: egredior vos tanto tre ad tabernaculo de foedro. Cumque es egredior,

descendit Dominus in columna nubis, et stetit in introitu tabernaculi, vocans Aaron et Mariam. Qui cum issent,

The Lord came down in a pillar of the cloud, and stood in the entry of the tabernacle calling to Aaron and Mary. And when they were come,

Domino descende in columna de nube, et sta in introitu de tabernaculo, voca Aarone et Maria. Qui cum i,

dixit ad eos: Audite sermones meos: si quis fuerit inter vos propheta Domini, in visione apparebo ei, vel per somnium loquar ad illum.

He said to them: Hear my words: if there be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him in a dream.

Dic ad illos: audi sermones meo: si qui es inter vos propheta de Domino, in visione appare ad illo, vel per somnio loque ad illo.

At non talis servus meus Moyses, qui in omni domo mea fidelissimus est:

But it is not so with my servant Moses who is most faithful in all my house:

Sed non tale servo meo Moyse, qui in omni domo meo fideli es:

ore enim ad os loquor ei: et palam, et non per ænigmata et figuras Dominum videt. Quare ergo non timuistis detrahere servo meo Moysi?

For I speak to him mouth to mouth: and plainly, and not by riddles and figures doth he see the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak ill of my servant Moses?

Ore nam ad ore loque ad illo: et palam, et non per aenigmates et figuras Domino vide. Quare ergo non time detrahe ad servo meo ad Moysi?

Iratusque contra eos, abiit:

And being angry with them he went away:

Et irato contra illos, i ab:

nubes quoque recessit quæ erat super tabernaculum: et ecce Maria apparuit candens lepra quasi nix. Cumque respexisset eam Aaron, et vidisset perfusam lepra,

The cloud also that was over the tabernacle departed: and behold Mary appeared white as snow with a leprosy. And when Aaron had looked on her, and saw her all covered with leprosy,

Nube etiam recede que es super tabernaculo: et ecce Maria appare cande lepra quasi nive. Cumque respice illa Aarone, et vide perfunde lepra,

ait ad Moysen: Obsecro, domine mi, ne imponas nobis hoc peccatum quod stulte commisimus,

He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed:

Dic ad Moyse: obsecra, domino meo, ne impone ad nos hoc peccato quod stulte committe,

ne fiat hæc quasi mortua, et ut abortivum quod projicitur de vulva matris suæ: ecce jam medium carnis ejus devoratum est a lepra.

Let her not be as one dead, and as an abortive that is cast forth from the mother's womb. Lo, now one half of her flesh is consumed with the leprosy.

Ne hoc que fi quasi more, et ut abortivo quod proicie de vulva de matre suo: ecce jam medio de carne de illo devora es ab lepra.

Clamavitque Moyses ad Dominum, dicens: Deus, obsecro, sana eam.

And Moses cried to the Lord, saying O God, I beseech thee heal her.

Et Moyse clama ad Domino, dicente: deo, obsecra, sana illa.

Cui respondit Dominus: Si pater ejus spuisset in faciem illius, nonne debuerat saltem septem diebus rubore suffundi? separetur septem diebus extra castra, et postea revocabitur.

And the Lord answered him: If her father had spitten upon her face, ought she not to have been ashamed for seven days at least? Let her be separated seven days without the camp, and afterwards she shall be called again.

Ad que Domino responde: si patre de illo spue in facie de illo, nonne debe salte septeme die rubore suffunde? Separa septeme die extra castros, et postea revoca.

Exclusa est itaque Maria extra castra septem diebus: et populus non est motus de loco illo, donec revocata est Maria.

Mary therefore was put out of the camp seven days: and the people moved not from that place until Mary was called again.

Exclude es itaque Maria extra castros septeme die: et populo non es move de loco illo, usque que revoca es Maria.
