Numbers 12
1 ମାଶାେ ଏକ କୁଶୀଯା ସ୍ତ୍ରୀକି ବିବାହ କରିଥିଲେ, ଏଣୁ ମରିଯମ ଓ ହାରୋଣ ସହେି କୁଶୀଯା ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ସକାଶୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ କଥା କହିଲେ।
2 ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କ'ଣ ମାଶାଙ୍କେ ସହିତ କବଳେ କଥା କହିଅଛନ୍ତି? ସେ କ'ଣ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ କଥା କହିନାହାଁନ୍ତି?
3 ମାଶାେ ପୃଥିବୀସ୍ଥ ସମସ୍ତ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ଅତି ନମ୍ର ଥିଲେ।
4 ହଠାତ୍ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ, ହାରୋଣଙ୍କୁ, ମରିଯମଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତିନିଜଣ ବାହାର ହାଇେ ସମାଗମ ତମ୍ବୁ ନିକଟକୁ ଆସ।
5 ସେତବେେଳେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମେଘ ସ୍ତମ୍ଭରୁ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ସମାଗମ ତମ୍ବୁ ନିକଟରେ ଛିଡା ହେଲେ। ସେ ଡାକିଲେ, ହାରୋଣ ଓ ମରିଯମ! ତହୁଁ ସମାନେେ ବାହାର ହାଇେ ଆସିଲେ।
6 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ କହିଲେ, ମାରେ ବାକ୍ଯ ଶୁଣ, ଯଦି ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ କହେି ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ ବକ୍ତା ଥାଏ, ତବେେ ମୁଁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଦର୍ଶନ ଦ୍ବାରା ତାହାପ୍ରତି ଆପଣାକୁ ପ୍ରକାଶ କରିବି, ମୁଁ ସ୍ବପ୍ନଦ୍ବାରା ତାହା ସହିତ କଥା କହିବି।
7 ମାତ୍ର ମାଶାେ ମାରେ ସବେକ, ସପରେି ନୁହେଁ। ସେ ହିଁ ମାରେ ସମଗ୍ର ଗୃହ ରେ ଜଣେ ସବୁଠାରୁ ବିଶ୍ବସ୍ତ ଅଟେ।
8 ମୁଁ ତା ସହିତ ଦର୍ଶନ କିମ୍ବା ନିଦର୍ଶନ ବାକ୍ଯ ରେ ନୁହେଁ, ମାତ୍ର ସମ୍ମୁଖା-ସମ୍ମୁଖୀ ହାଇେ ପ୍ରକାଶ୍ଯ ଭାବରେ ତା ସହିତ କଥା କ ହେ। ସେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଆକାର ଦର୍ଶନ କରେ। ତାଙ୍କ ବିରୁଦ୍ଧ ରେ କଥା କହିବାକୁ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କାହିଁକି ଭୀତ ହେଲ ନାହିଁ?
9 ଏହିରୂପେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପ୍ରତି ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ କୋରଧ ପ୍ରଜ୍ବଳିତ ହେଲା; ତହୁଁ ସେ ପ୍ରସ୍ଥାନ କଲେ।
10 ପୁଣି ତମ୍ବୁ ଉପରୁ ମେଘ ସ୍ଥାନାନ୍ତରିତ ହେଲା। ହାରୋଣ ମରିଯମଙ୍କୁ ଦେଖିଲେ, ତାଙ୍କର ଚର୍ମ ହିମତୁଲ୍ଯ ଶ୍ବତବେର୍ଣ୍ଣ, ସେ କୁଷ୍ଠଗ୍ରସ୍ତା ହେଲେ।
11 ତହିଁରେ ହାରୋଣ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ହେ ମାହେର ମହାଶୟ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନେ ମୂର୍ଖତାର କର୍ମ କରିଅଛୁ ଓ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ପାପ କରିଅଛୁ; ଏଣୁ ବିନଯ କରୁଅଛି, ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ସହେି ପାପ ଥୁଅ ନାହିଁ।
12 ମାତାର ଗର୍ଭରୁ ନିର୍ଗତ ହେଲା ବେଳେ ଯାହାର ମାଂସ ଅର୍ଦ୍ଧନଷ୍ଟ, ଏପରି ମୃତ ଶିଶୁ ସଦୃଶ ସେ ନ ହେଉ।
13 ତେଣୁ ମାଶାେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ପ୍ରାର୍ଥନା କରି କହିଲେ, ହେ ପରମେଶ୍ବର, ବିନଯ କରୁଅଛି, ତାହାକୁ ସୁସ୍ଥ କର।
14 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ମାଶାଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ଯଦି ତା'ର ପିତା ତା'ର ମୁଁହ ରେ ଛପେ ପକାଇଥାନ୍ତା, ସେ କ'ଣ ସାତଦିନ ଲଜ୍ଜିତା ହାଇେ ନ ଥାନ୍ତା? ତେଣୁ ସେ ସାତଦିନ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଛାଉଣୀ ବାହା ରେ ଅନ୍ୟମାନଙ୍କଠାରୁ ହାଇେ ରହୁ, ତା'ପରେ ସେ ଛାଉଣୀ ଭିତରକୁ ଆସିପାରିବ।
15 ତହୁଁ ମିରଯମ ସାତଦିନ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଛାଉଣୀ ବାହା ରେ ରହିଲା। ସେ ପୁନର୍ବାର ଭିତରକୁ ନ ଆସିବା ୟାଏ ଲୋକମାନେ ୟାତ୍ରା କଲେ ନାହିଁ।
16 ତା'ପରେ ଲୋକମାନେ ହତ୍ ସରେୋତଠାରୁ ୟାତ୍ରାକରି ପାରଣ ମରୁଭୂମିରେ ଛାଉଣୀ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ।
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.
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
