4 Mosebog 12
1 Og Maria og Aron talede imod Mose for den morlandske Hustrus Skyld, som han havde taget; thi han havde taget en morlandsk Hustru.
And Mary and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife the Ethiopian,
2 Og de sagde: Taler Herren ene og alene ved Mose? mon han ikke ogsaa taler ved os? og Herren hørte det.
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 Men den Mand Mose var saare sagtmodig, fremfor alle Mennesker paa Jorderige.
(For Moses was a man exceeding meek above all men that dwelt upon earth)
4 Og Herren sagde hastelig til Mose og til Aron og til Maria: Gaar ud, I tre, til Forsamlingens Paulun; og de tre gik ud.
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 Da kom Herren ned i en Skystøtte og stod i Paulunets Dør; og han kaldte ad Aron og Maria, og de gik begge ud.
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 Og han sagde: Kære, hører mine Ord: Dersom der er en Profet iblandt eder, giver jeg, Herren, mig tilkende for ham i Synet, i Drømmen taler jeg med ham.
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 Ikke saa med min Tjener Mose; han er tro i mit ganske Hus.
But it is not so with my servant Moses a who is most faithful in all my house:
8 Jeg taler mundtlig med ham og synlig og ikke i mørk Tale, og han beskuer Herrens Lignelse; hvi frygtede I da ikke at tale imod min Tjener, imod Mose?
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 Og Herrens Vrede optændtes imod dem, og han gik bort.
And being angry with them he went away:
10 Og Skyen veg bort fra Paulunet, og se, Maria var spedalsk som Sne; og Aron vendte sig til Maria, og se, hun var spedalsk.
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 Og Aron sagde til Mose: Hør mig dog, min Herre, læg ikke den Synd paa os, i hvilken vi have gjort daarlig, og i hvilken vi have syndet.
He said to Moses: I beseech thee, my lord, lay not upon us this sin, which we have foolishly committed:
12 Kære, lad hende ikke være som en Død, hvis halve Kød, naar han kommer ud af sin Moders Liv, er fortæret.
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 Da raabte Mose til Herren og sagde: Ak, Gud! helbred hende.
And Moses cried to the Lord, saying: O God, I beseech thee heal her.
14 Og Herren sagde til Mose: Om hendes Fader havde spyttet hende i hendes Ansigt, skulde hun da ikke skamme sig syv Dage? Lad hende blive udelukket fra Lejren syv Dage, og derefter maa hun optages.
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 Og Maria blev udelukket fra Lejren syv Dage, og Folket rejste ikke, førend Maria blev optaget.
Mary therefore was put out of the camp seven days: and the people moved not from that place until Mary was called again.
16 Og derefter rejste Folket fra Hazeroth, og de lejrede sig i Ørken Paran.
And the people marched from Haseroth, and pitched their tents in the desert of Pharan.
