< Numbers 12 >
1 Afterward Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, because of the woman of Ethiopia whome hee had maried (for hee had married a woman of Ethiopia)
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 saide, What? hath the Lord spoken but onely by Moses? hath he not spoken also by vs? and the Lord heard this.
og sagde: »Har HERREN kun talet til Moses? Mon han ikke ogsaa har talet til os?« Og HERREN hørte det.
3 (But Moses was a verie meeke man, aboue all the men that were vpon the earth)
Men den Mand Moses var saare sagtmodig, sagtmodigere end noget andet Menneske paa Jorden.
4 And by and by the Lord sayd vnto Moses, and vnto Aaron, and vnto Miriam, come out yee three vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation: and they three came forth.
Da sagde HERREN i det samme til Moses, Aron og Mirjam: »Gaa alle tre ud til Aabenbaringsteltet!« Og de gik alle tre derud.
5 Then the Lord came downe in the pillar of the cloude, and stoode in the doore of the Tabernacle, 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 hee saide, Heare nowe my wordes, If there be a Prophet of the Lord among you, I will be knowen to him by a vision, and will speake vnto him by dreame.
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 seruant Moses is not so, who is faithfull in all mine house.
Anderledes er det med min Tjener Moses: han er tro i hele mit Hus;
8 Vnto him will I speake mouth to mouth, and by vision, and not in darke wordes, but hee shall see the similitude of the Lord. Wherefore then were ye not afraid to speake against my seruant, euen 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 Thus the Lord was very angrie with them, and departed.
Og HERRENS Vrede blussede op imod dem, og han gik bort.
10 Also the cloude departed from the Tabernacle: and beholde, Miriam was leprous like snowe: and Aaron looked vpon Miriam, and beholde, 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 Then Aaron saide vnto Moses, Alas, my Lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sinne vpon vs, which we haue foolishly committed and wherein we haue 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 thee, be as one dead, of whome the flesh is halfe consumed, when he commeth out of his mothers wombe.
Lad hende dog ikke blive som et dødfødt Barn, hvis Kød er halvt fortæret, naar det kommer ud af Moders Liv!«
13 Then Moses cryed vnto the Lord, saying, O God, I beseech thee, heale her nowe.
Moses raabte da til HERREN og sagde: »Ak, gør hende dog rask igen!«
14 And the Lord said vnto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, shoulde she not haue bene ashamed seuen dayes? let her be shut out of the hoste seuen dayes, and after she shall bee receiued.
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 So Miriam was shut out of the hoste seuen dayes, and the people remooued not, till Miriam was brought in againe.
Da blev Mirjam udelukket fra Lejren i syv Dage, og Folket brød ikke op, før Mirjam atter var optaget.
16 Then afterwarde the people remooued from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wildernesse of Paran.
Saa brød Folket op fra Hazerot og slog Lejr i Parans Ørken.
