4 Mosebog 12
1 Mirjam og Aron tog til Orde mod Moses i Anledning af den kusjitiske Kvinde, han havde ægtet — han havde nemlig ægtet en kusjitisk Kvinde —
Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married; for he had married a Cushite woman.
2 og sagde: »Har HERREN kun talet til Moses? Mon han ikke ogsaa har talet til os?« Og HERREN hørte det.
They said, "Has YHWH indeed spoken only with Moses? Hasn't he spoken also with us?" And YHWH heard it.
3 Men den Mand Moses var saare sagtmodig, sagtmodigere end noget andet Menneske paa Jorden.
Now the man Moses was very humble, above all the men who were on the surface of the earth.
4 Da sagde HERREN i det samme til Moses, Aron og Mirjam: »Gaa alle tre ud til Aabenbaringsteltet!« Og de gik alle tre derud.
YHWH spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, "You three come out to the Tent of Meeting." The three of them came out.
5 Men HERREN steg ned i Skystøtten og stillede sig ved Indgangen til Teltet og kaldte paa Aron og Mirjam, og de gik begge derud.
YHWH came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the Tent, and called Aaron and Miriam; and they both came forward.
6 Da sagde han: »Hør, hvad jeg siger: Naar der ellers er en Profet iblandt eder, giver jeg mig til Kende for ham i Syner eller taler med ham i Drømme.
He said, "Hear now my words. If there is a prophet among you, I YHWH will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.
7 Anderledes er det med min Tjener Moses: han er tro i hele mit Hus;
My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.
8 med ham taler jeg Ansigt til Ansigt, ikke i Syner eller Gaader, han skuer HERRENS Skikkelse; hvor tør I da tage til Orde mod min Tjener Moses?«
With him I will speak mouth to mouth, even openly, and not in riddles; and he shall see YHWH's form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?"
9 Og HERRENS Vrede blussede op imod dem, og han gik bort.
The anger of YHWH was kindled against them; and he departed.
10 Da saa Skyen trak sig bort fra Teltet, se, da var Mirjam hvid som Sne af Spedalskhed, og da Aron vendte sig mod Mirjam, se, da var hun spedalsk.
The cloud departed from over the Tent; and look, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and look, she was leprous.
11 Da sagde Aron til Moses: »Ak, Herre, lad os dog ikke undgælde for den Synd, vi i Daarskab begik!
Aaron said to Moses, "Oh, my lord, please do not count this sin against us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.
12 Lad hende dog ikke blive som et dødfødt Barn, hvis Kød er halvt fortæret, naar det kommer ud af Moders Liv!«
Let her not, I pray, be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother's womb."
13 Moses raabte da til HERREN og sagde: »Ak, gør hende dog rask igen!«
Moses cried to YHWH, saying, "Heal her, God, I beg you."
14 Og HERREN svarede Moses: »Hvis hendes Fader havde spyttet hende i Ansigtet, maatte hun da ikke have baaret sin Skam i syv Dage? Derfor skal hun i syv Dage være udelukket fra Lejren; saa kan hun atter optages.«
YHWH said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, shouldn't she be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside of the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again."
15 Da blev Mirjam udelukket fra Lejren i syv Dage, og Folket brød ikke op, før Mirjam atter var optaget.
Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam was brought in again.
16 Saa brød Folket op fra Hazerot og slog Lejr i Parans Ørken.
Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
