Numbers 12

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

Og Maria og Aron talede imod Mose for den morlandske Hustrus Skyld, som han havde taget; thi han havde taget en morlandsk Hustru.

2 They said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only with Moses? Has not he spoken also with us?” And the LORD heard it.

Og de sagde: Taler Herren ene og alene ved Mose? mon han ikke ogsaa taler ved os? og Herren hørte det.

3 Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all the men who were on the surface of the earth.

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

4 The LORD spoke suddenly to Moses, to Aaron, and to Miriam, “You three come out to the Tent of Meeting!” The three of them came out.

Og Herren sagde hastelig til Mose og til Aron og til Maria: Gaar ud, I tre, til Forsamlingens Paulun; og de tre gik ud.

5 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 forward.

Da kom Herren ned i en Skystøtte og stod i Paulunets Dør; og han kaldte ad Aron og Maria, og de gik begge ud.

6 He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

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.

7 My servant Moses is not so. He is faithful in all my house.

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

8 With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see the LORD’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”

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?

9 The LORD’s anger burned against them; and he departed.

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

10 The cloud departed from over the Tent; and behold, Miriam was leprous, as white as snow. Aaron looked at Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

Og Skyen veg bort fra Paulunet, og se, Maria var spedalsk som Sne; og Aron vendte sig til Maria, og se, hun var spedalsk.

11 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.

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.

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.”

Kære, lad hende ikke være som en Død, hvis halve Kød, naar han kommer ud af sin Moders Liv, er fortæret.

13 Moses cried to the LORD, saying, “Heal her, God, I beg you!”

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

14 The LORD said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, should not 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.”

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.

15 Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days, and the people did not travel until Miriam was brought in again.

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

16 Afterward the people traveled from Hazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.

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