Numbers 12
1 [Moses’/My older sister] Miriam and [his/my older brother] Aaron were saying this: “Is Moses the only one to whom Yahweh has spoken messages to tell to us [RHQ]? Does Yahweh not speak messages to us two also?” [They told people that] they were saying that because Moses/I had married a woman who was a descendant of the Cush people-group, [but they were really saying that because they (were jealous/did not want Moses/me to be the only leader of the Israeli people)]. But Yahweh heard what they were saying.
Mirjam, og Aron med, tala ille um Moses for den ætiopkvinna skuld, som han hadde teke til kona - for han hadde gift seg med ei ætiopisk kvinna -
og dei sagde: «Er det då berre Moses Herren hev tala med? Hev han ikkje tala med oss og?» Og Herren høyrde det.
3 [The truth was that] Moses/I was very humble. He/I was more humble than anyone else on the earth [and Moses/I had not appointed himself/myself to be their leader].
No var Moses ein mild og tolug mann, mildare enn alle menneskje på jordi.
4 So immediately Yahweh spoke to Moses/me and to Aaron and Miriam. He said, “All three of you must go and stand at the Sacred Tent.” So they/we did that.
Men Herren sagde brått til Moses og til Aron og til Mirjam: «Gakk ut til møtetjeldet alle tri!» So gjekk dei dit alle tri.
5 Then Yahweh descended to the entrance of the tent in a cloud [that resembled a huge white] pillar. He told Aaron and Miriam to step forward, so they did.
Og Herren for ned i ein skystopul, og stod i tjelddøri og ropa: «Aron og Mirjam!» Då gjekk dei ut båe tvo.
6 Then he said to them, “Listen to me! When a prophet is among you, I [usually] reveal myself to him by allowing him to see visions, and I speak to him in dreams.
Og han sagde: «Lyd no etter ordi mine: Er det ein profet millom dykk, so ter eg, Herren, meg for honom i syner, og talar med honom i draumar.
7 But that is not the way I speak to my servant Moses. I trust that he will lead my people [well].
Men so er det ikkje med Moses, tenaren min; honom lit eg so på, at eg hev sett honom yver heile mitt hus.
8 So I talk to him face-to-face. I speak to him (clearly/using words that he will understand easily), not using parables. He has even seen what I look like. So you should be afraid to criticize my servant Moses!”
Munn til munn talar eg med honom, klårt og ikkje i gåtor, og han fær sjå Herren i rette hamen hans skapnad. Korleis kunde de då våga å tala ille um Moses, min tenar?»
9 Yahweh was very angry with Miriam and Aaron, and he left.
Og Herrens vreide loga upp imot dei, og han for burt.
10 When the cloud rose up from the Sacred Tent, Aaron looked at Miriam, and he saw that her skin was [as white] as snow, because she now had leprosy.
Då skyi hadde kvorve burt frå tjeldet, då var Mirjam spillsjuk, og kvit som snø; med same Aron snudde seg mot henne, såg han at ho var spillsjuk.
11 Aaron said to Moses/me, “My master, please do not punish us for this sin that we have foolishly committed.
Då sagde han til Moses: «Gode herre bror! Lat oss ikkje lida for mykje for syndi og dårskapen vår!
12 Do not allow Miriam to be like a baby that is already dead when it is born, whose flesh is already half decayed!”
Lat henne ikkje verta som eit daudt foster, som er halvrote når det kjem ut or morslivet!»
13 So Moses/I cried out to Yahweh, saying, “God, I plead with you to heal her!”
Då ropa Moses til Herren og sagde: «Å kjære, kjære Gud, gjer henne god att!»
14 But Yahweh replied, “If her father had [rebuked her for doing something wrong by] spitting in her face, she would have been ashamed for seven days. [She should be ashamed because of what she has done]. So send her outside the camp for seven days. Then [she will not have leprosy any more, and] she may return to the camp.”
Og Herren sagde til Moses: «Hadde far hennar sputta henne i andlitet, laut ho då ikkje sitja med skam i sju dagar? No skal dei stengja henne ute frå lægret i sju dagar, so kann dei taka henne inn att!»
15 So they sent her outside the camp for seven days. (The people/We) did not move [to another location] until she returned.
So stengde dei Mirjam ute frå lægret i sju dagar, og folket tok ikkje av stad, fyrr dei hadde teke henne inn att.
16 But after [she returned], they/we left Hazeroth and moved [north] in the Paran Desert and set up their/our tents there.
Sidan tok folket ut frå Haserot, og slo læger i Paranheidi.
