Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, on account of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for an Ethiopian woman had he married.
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, Hath then only with Moses the Lord spoken? hath he not also spoken with us? And the Lord heard it.
og sagde: "Har HERREN kun talet til Moses? Mon han ikke også har talet til os?" Og HERREN hørte det.
3 (But the man Moses was very meek, more so than any man who was upon the face of the earth.)
Men den Mand Moses var såre sagtmodig, sagtmodigere end noget andet Menneske på Jorden.
4 And the Lord said suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Go out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation; and these three went out.
Da sagde HERREN i det samme til Moses, Aron og Mirjam: "Gå alle tre ud til Åbenbaringsteltet!" Og de gik alle tre derud.
5 And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the door of the tabernacle; and he called Aaron and Miriam, and both of them went out.
Men HERREN steg ned i Skystøtten og stillede sig ved Indgangen til Teltet og kaldte på Aron og Mirjam, og de gik begge derud.
6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet of your kind, I, the Lord, do make myself known unto him in a vision, in a dream do I speak with him.
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.
7 Not so is my servant Moses, in all my house is he faithful.
Anderledes er det med min Tjener Moses: han er tro i hele mit Hus;
8 Mouth to mouth do I speak with him, even evidently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord doth he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?
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?"
9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them, and he went away.
Og HERRENs Vrede blussede op imod dem, og han gik bort.
10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, [white] as snow; and Aaron turned toward Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
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.
11 Then said Aaron unto Moses, Alas, my Lord, do not, I beseech thee, account to us as sin that wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
Da sagde Aron til Moses: "Ak, Herre, lad os dog ikke undgælde for den Synd, vi i Dårskab begik!
12 Let her not be as a dead-born child, of which half the flesh is consumed, when it cometh out of its mother's womb.
Lad hende dog ikke blive som et dødfødt Barn, hvis Kød er halvt fortæret, når det kommer ud af Moders Liv!"
13 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying, O God! do thou heal her, I beseech thee.
Moses råbte da til HERREN og sagde: "Ak, gør hende dog rask igen!"
14 And the Lord said unto Moses, If her father had spit in her face, would she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut up seven days outside of the camp, and after that let her be brought in again.
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."
15 And Miriam was shut up outside of the camp seven days; and the people did not set forward 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 removed from Chazeroth, and encamped in the wilderness of Paran.
Så brød Folket op fra Hazerot og slog Lejr i Parans Ørken.
