Brojevi 12
1 A Mirjam i Aron uzeše rogoboriti protiv Mojsija zbog žene Kušanke kojom se oženio; jer bijaše uzeo za ženu jednu Kušanku.
And Mary and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife the Ethiopian,
2 “Zar je samo Mojsiju govorio Jahve?” - rekoše mu. “Zar i nama nije govorio?” Jahve to ču.
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,
3 Mojsije je bio veoma skroman čovjek, najskromniji čovjek na zemlji.
(For Moses was a man exceeding meek above all men that dwelt upon earth)
4 I odmah reče Jahve Mojsiju, Aronu i Mirjami: “Vas se troje pojavite u Šatoru sastanka.” Njih se troje pojavi.
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,
5 U stupu oblaka siđe Jahve te stade na ulazu u Šator. Zovnu Arona i Mirjamu. Kad njih dvoje istupi naprijed,
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,
6 reče Jahve: “Saslušajte riječi moje: Nađe li se među vama prorok, u viđenju njemu ja se javljam, u snu njemu progovaram.
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.
7 Ali nije tako sa slugom mojim Mojsijem. Od svih u kući mojoj najvjerniji je on.
But it is not so with my servant Moses a who is most faithful in all my house:
8 Iz usta u usta njemu ja govorim, očevidnošću, a ne zagonetkama, i lik Jahvin on smije gledati. Kako se onda niste bojali govoriti protiv sluge moga Mojsija?”
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?
9 Uskipjevši gnjevom na njih, Jahve ode.
And being angry with them he went away:
10 Čim se od šatora oblak udaljio, gle! Mirjam ogubavi, kao snijegom posuta. Aron se okrenu prema Mirjami, a to guba na njoj.
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,
11 Tada rekne Aron Mojsiju: “Gospodaru moj, ne svaljuj na nas kazne za grijeh koji smo u ludosti počinili i kojega smo krivci.
He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed:
12 Ne daj da ona ostane kao mrtvo dijete kojemu je već na izlasku iz majčine utrobe meso napol uništeno!”
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.
13 Tada zavapi Mojsije Jahvi: “Bože, molim te, ozdravi je!”
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: O God, I beseech thee heal her.
14 “Da joj je otac njezin pljunuo u lice”, reče Jahve Mojsiju, “zar se ne bi morala stidjeti sedam dana? Neka i ona bude odvojena izvan tabora sedam dana, pa neka se poslije opet pripusti.”
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 after wards she shall be called again.
15 Tako je Mirjam bila odvojena izvan tabora sedam dana. Narod nije na put polazio dok Mirjam nije opet bila pripuštena.
Mary therefore was put out of the camp seven days: and the people moved not from that place until Mary was called again.
16 Poslije toga narod krenu iz Haserota i utabori se u pustinji Paranu.
And the people marched from Haseroth, and pitched their tents in the desert of Pharan.
