Numbers 12

1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

Musa telah mengambil seorang wanita Kus menjadi istrinya, dan hal itu dijadikan alasan oleh Miryam dan Harun untuk mencela Musa.

2 And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard [it].

Kata mereka, "Apakah melalui Musa saja TUHAN berbicara? Bukankah melalui kita juga Ia berbicara?" TUHAN mendengar apa yang mereka katakan.

3 (Now the man Moses [was] very meek, above all the men which [were] upon the face of the earth.)

Musa adalah orang yang sangat rendah hati, melebihi semua orang yang hidup di bumi ini.

4 And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

Tiba-tiba TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, Harun dan Miryam, "Kamu bertiga pergilah ke Kemah-Ku." Lalu mereka pergi ke situ

5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

dan TUHAN turun dalam tiang awan. TUHAN berdiri di pintu Kemah-Nya dan memanggil Harun serta Miryam. Kedua orang itu maju,

6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream.

dan TUHAN berkata, "Dengarlah kata-kata-Ku ini! Jika di antara kamu ada seorang nabi, Aku menyatakan diri-Ku kepadanya dalam penglihatan-pengl dan berbicara dengan dia dalam mimpi.

7 My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all mine house.

Tetapi tidak begitu dengan hamba-Ku Musa. Dialah orang yang setia di antara umat-Ku.

8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

Dan Aku berbicara dengan dia berhadapan muka, secara jelas dan tidak dengan teka-teki. Bahkan rupa-Ku pun sudah dilihatnya! Mengapa kamu berani melawan Musa, hamba-Ku itu?"

9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

TUHAN marah sekali kepada mereka berdua, dan Ia pergi.

10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam [became] leprous, [white] as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, [she was] leprous.

Ketika awan itu meninggalkan Kemah TUHAN, tampaklah Miryam kena penyakit kulit yang berbahaya; kulitnya putih seperti kapas. Ketika Harun berpaling kepada Miryam dan melihat bahwa ia sudah kena penyakit itu,

11 And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

berkatalah ia kepada Musa, "Tolonglah, Tuanku, jangan biarkan kami disiksa karena dosa yang kami buat dalam kebodohan kami.

12 Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother’s womb.

Jangan biarkan dia menjadi seperti bayi yang lahir sudah mati, dengan dagingnya setengah busuk."

13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.

Maka berserulah Musa kepada TUHAN, "Ya Allah, saya mohon, sembuhkanlah dia!"

14 And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in [again].

TUHAN menjawab, "Andaikata mukanya diludahi ayahnya, bukankah selama tujuh hari ia harus menanggung malu? Singkirkanlah dia dari perkemahan selama tujuh hari, dan sesudah itu ia boleh masuk kembali."

15 And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in [again].

Lalu Miryam dikeluarkan dari perkemahan selama tujuh hari, dan bangsa itu tidak pindah dari situ sampai Miryam diperbolehkan kembali ke perkemahan.

16 And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.

Kemudian mereka meninggalkan Hazerot dan berkemah di padang gurun Paran.
