Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman.
Mirjam og Aron tog til Orde mod Moses i Anledning af den kusjitiske Kvinde, han havde ægtet — han havde nemlig ægtet en kusjitisk Kvinde —
2 And they said, Has Jehovah indeed spoken only with Moses? Has he not spoken also with us? And Jehovah heard it.
og sagde: »Har HERREN kun talet til Moses? Mon han ikke ogsaa har talet til os?« Og HERREN hørte det.
3 Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men who were upon the face of the earth.
Men den Mand Moses var saare sagtmodig, sagtmodigere end noget andet Menneske paa Jorden.
4 And Jehovah spoke suddenly to Moses, and to Aaron, and to Miriam, Come out ye three to the tent of meeting. And the three came out.
Da sagde HERREN i det samme til Moses, Aron og Mirjam: »Gaa alle tre ud til Aabenbaringsteltet!« Og de gik alle tre derud.
5 And Jehovah 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.
Men HERREN steg ned i Skystøtten og stillede sig ved Indgangen til Teltet og kaldte paa Aron og Mirjam, og de gik begge derud.
6 And he said, Hear now my words. If there be a prophet among you, I Jehovah will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.
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.
7 My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.
Anderledes er det med min Tjener Moses: han er tro i hele mit Hus;
8 With him I will speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches, and he has beheld the form of Jehovah. Why then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
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?«
9 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against them, and he departed.
Og HERRENS Vrede blussede op imod dem, og han gik bort.
10 And the cloud removed from over the tent. And, behold, Miriam was leprous, as snow. And Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
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.
11 And Aaron said to Moses, Oh, my lord, lay not, I pray thee, sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly, and in which we have sinned.
Da sagde Aron til Moses: »Ak, Herre, lad os dog ikke undgælde for den Synd, vi i Daarskab begik!
12 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.
Lad hende dog ikke blive som et dødfødt Barn, hvis Kød er halvt fortæret, naar det kommer ud af Moders Liv!«
13 And Moses cried to Jehovah, saying, Heal her, O God, I beseech thee.
Moses raabte da til HERREN og sagde: »Ak, gør hende dog rask igen!«
14 And Jehovah said to Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? Let her be shut up outside the camp seven days, and after that she shall be brought in again.
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.«
15 And Miriam was shut up outside the camp seven days. And the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
Da blev Mirjam udelukket fra Lejren i syv Dage, og Folket brød ikke op, før Mirjam atter var optaget.
16 And afterward the people journeyed from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
Saa brød Folket op fra Hazerot og slog Lejr i Parans Ørken.
