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 Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, on account of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, —for, a Cushite woman, had he taken.
2 “Zar je samo Mojsiju govorio Jahve?” - rekoše mu. “Zar i nama nije govorio?” Jahve to ču.
And they said: Is it only and solely with Moses, that Yahweh hath spoken? With us also, hath he not spoken? And Yahweh heard it.
3 Mojsije je bio veoma skroman čovjek, najskromniji čovjek na zemlji.
Now, the man Moses, was patient, exceedingly, —above all the sons of earth, who were on the face of the ground.
4 I odmah reče Jahve Mojsiju, Aronu i Mirjami: “Vas se troje pojavite u Šatoru sastanka.” Njih se troje pojavi.
Then said Yahweh suddenly, unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three went out.
5 U stupu oblaka siđe Jahve te stade na ulazu u Šator. Zovnu Arona i Mirjamu. Kad njih dvoje istupi naprijed,
Then Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, —and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both went forth.
6 reče Jahve: “Saslušajte riječi moje: Nađe li se među vama prorok, u viđenju njemu ja se javljam, u snu njemu progovaram.
Then said he Hear, I beseech you my words. When ye have your prophet, As Yahweh in a vision, will I make myself known, unto him; In a dream, will I speak with him.
7 Ali nije tako sa slugom mojim Mojsijem. Od svih u kući mojoj najvjerniji je on.
Not so, my servant Moses, —In all my house, trusty, is he:
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?”
Mouth to mouth, do I speak with him And plainly—not in dark sayings, And the form of Yahweh, doth he discern, —Wherefore then, were ye not afraid to speak against my servant—against Moses?
9 Uskipjevši gnjevom na njih, Jahve ode.
And the anger of Yahweh kindled upon them and he departed.
10 Čim se od šatora oblak udaljio, gle! Mirjam ogubavi, kao snijegom posuta. Aron se okrenu prema Mirjami, a to guba na njoj.
And, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent, —lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam and lo! …leprous!
11 Tada rekne Aron Mojsiju: “Gospodaru moj, ne svaljuj na nas kazne za grijeh koji smo u ludosti počinili i kojega smo krivci.
Then said Aaron unto Moses, —Oh my lord, do not I beseech thee lay upon us sin, although we have made ourselves foolish, and although we have sinned.
12 Ne daj da ona ostane kao mrtvo dijete kojemu je već na izlasku iz majčine utrobe meso napol uništeno!”
Let her not, I beseech thee, remain like the still-born, —which when it is born of its mother, the half of its flesh is consumed.
13 Tada zavapi Mojsije Jahvi: “Bože, molim te, ozdravi je!”
Then Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —O GOD, I beseech thee grant healing. I beseech thee unto 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 Yahweh said unto Moses: If, her own father, had, but spat, in her face, would she not, have acknowledged the shame for seven days? Let her shut herself up for seven days, outside the camp, and afterwards, let her be received back.
15 Tako je Mirjam bila odvojena izvan tabora sedam dana. Narod nije na put polazio dok Mirjam nije opet bila pripuštena.
So Miriam shut herself up, outside the camp, for seven days, —and, the people, set not forward, until Miriam had been received back.
16 Poslije toga narod krenu iz Haserota i utabori se u pustinji Paranu.
Then afterwards, did the people set forward from Hazeroth, and encamped in the desert of Paran.
