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 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.

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 indeed spoken only with Moses? hath He not spoken also with us?' And the LORD heard it. —

3 Men den Mand Mose var saare sagtmodig, fremfor alle Mennesker paa Jorderige.

Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men that were upon the face of the 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.

And the LORD spoke suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam: 'Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting.' And they three came 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.

And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forth.

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.

And He said: 'Hear now My words: if there be a prophet among you, I the LORD do make Myself known unto him in a vision, I do speak with him in a dream.

7 Ikke saa med min Tjener Mose; han er tro i mit ganske Hus.

My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted 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?

with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?'

9 Og Herrens Vrede optændtes imod dem, og han gik bort.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and He departed.

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.

And when the cloud was removed from over the Tent, behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow; and Aaron looked upon Miriam; and, behold, she was leprous.

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.

And Aaron said unto Moses: 'Oh my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, for that we have done foolishly, and for that we have sinned.

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, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.'

13 Da raabte Mose til Herren og sagde: Ak, Gud! helbred hende.

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying: 'Heal her now, O God, I beseech Thee.'

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 said unto Moses: 'If her father had but spit in her face, should she not hide in shame seven days? let her be shut up without the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.'

15 Og Maria blev udelukket fra Lejren syv Dage, og Folket rejste ikke, førend Maria blev optaget.

And Miriam was shut up without the camp seven days; and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

16 Og derefter rejste Folket fra Hazeroth, og de lejrede sig i Ørken Paran.

And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
