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 -
Then Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he had married, for he had taken a Cushite wife.
2 og sagde: "Har HERREN kun talet til Moses? Mon han ikke også har talet til os?" Og HERREN hørte det.
“Does the LORD speak only through Moses?” they said. “Does He not also speak through us?” And the LORD heard this.
3 Men den Mand Moses var såre sagtmodig, sagtmodigere end noget andet Menneske på Jorden.
Now Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.
4 Da sagde HERREN i det samme til Moses, Aron og Mirjam: "Gå alle tre ud til Åbenbaringsteltet!" Og de gik alle tre derud.
And suddenly the LORD said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three, come out to the Tent of Meeting.” So the three went out,
5 Men HERREN steg ned i Skystøtten og stillede sig ved Indgangen til Teltet og kaldte på Aron og Mirjam, og de gik begge derud.
and the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the Tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When both of them had stepped forward,
6 Da sagde han: "Hør, hvad jeg siger: Når 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, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.
7 Anderledes er det med min Tjener Moses: han er tro i hele mit Hus;
But this is not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My house.
8 med ham taler jeg Ansigt til Ansigt, ikke i Syner eller Gåder, han skuer HERRENs Skikkelse; hvor tør I da tage til Orde mod min Tjener Moses?"
I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?”
9 Og HERRENs Vrede blussede op imod dem, og han gik bort.
So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.
10 Da så 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.
As the cloud lifted from above the Tent, suddenly Miriam became leprous, white as snow. Aaron turned toward her, saw that she was leprous,
11 Da sagde Aron til Moses: "Ak, Herre, lad os dog ikke undgælde for den Synd, vi i Dårskab begik!
and said to Moses, “My lord, please do not hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed.
12 Lad hende dog ikke blive som et dødfødt Barn, hvis Kød er halvt fortæret, når det kommer ud af Moders Liv!"
Please do not let her be like a stillborn infant whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
13 Moses råbte da til HERREN og sagde: "Ak, gør hende dog rask igen!"
So Moses cried out to the LORD, “O God, please heal her!”
14 Og HERREN svarede Moses: "Hvis hendes Fader havde spyttet hende i Ansigtet, måtte hun da ikke have båret sin Skam i syv Dage? Derfor skal hun i syv Dage være udelukket fra Lejren; så kan hun atter optages."
But the LORD answered Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not have been in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”
15 Da blev Mirjam udelukket fra Lejren i syv Dage, og Folket brød ikke op, før Mirjam atter var optaget.
So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was brought in again.
16 Så brød Folket op fra Hazerot og slog Lejr i Parans Ørken.
After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
