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.
Musa Kûşlu bir kadınla evlenmişti. Bundan dolayı Miryam'la Harun onu yerdiler.
“RAB yalnız Musa aracılığıyla mı konuştu?” dediler, “Bizim aracılığımızla da konuşmadı mı?” RAB bu yakınmaları duydu.
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].
Musa yeryüzünde yaşayan herkesten daha alçakgönüllüydü.
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.
RAB ansızın Musa, Harun ve Miryam'a, “Üçünüz Buluşma Çadırı'na gelin” dedi. Üçü de gittiler.
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.
RAB bulut sütununun içinde indi. Çadırın kapısında durup Harun'la Miryam'ı çağırdı. İkisi ilerlerken
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.
RAB onlara seslendi: “Sözlerime kulak verin: Eğer aranızda bir peygamber varsa, Ben RAB görümde kendimi ona tanıtır, Onunla düşte konuşurum.
7 But that is not the way I speak to my servant Moses. I trust that he will lead my people [well].
Ama kulum Musa öyle değildir. O bütün evimde sadıktır.
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!”
Onunla bilmecelerle değil, Açıkça, yüzyüze konuşurum. O RAB'bin suretini görüyor. Öyleyse kulum Musa'yı yermekten korkmadınız mı?”
9 Yahweh was very angry with Miriam and Aaron, and he left.
RAB onlara öfkelenip oradan gitti.
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.
Bulut çadırın üzerinden ayrıldığında Miryam deri hastalığına yakalanmış, kar gibi bembeyaz olmuştu. Harun Miryam'a baktı, deri hastalığına yakalandığını gördü.
11 Aaron said to Moses/me, “My master, please do not punish us for this sin that we have foolishly committed.
Musa'ya, “Ey efendim, lütfen akılsızca işlediğimiz günahtan ötürü bizi cezalandırma” dedi,
12 Do not allow Miriam to be like a baby that is already dead when it is born, whose flesh is already half decayed!”
“Miryam etinin yarısı yenmiş olarak ana rahminden çıkan ölü bir bebeğe benzemesin.”
13 So Moses/I cried out to Yahweh, saying, “God, I plead with you to heal her!”
Musa RAB'be, “Ey Tanrı, lütfen Miryam'ı iyileştir!” diye yakardı.
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.”
RAB, “Babası onun yüzüne tükürseydi, yedi gün utanç içinde kalmayacak mıydı?” diye karşılık verdi, “Onu yedi gün ordugahtan uzaklaştırın, sonra geri getirilsin.”
15 So they sent her outside the camp for seven days. (The people/We) did not move [to another location] until she returned.
Böylece Miryam yedi gün ordugahtan uzaklaştırıldı, o geri getirilene dek halk yola çıkmadı.
16 But after [she returned], they/we left Hazeroth and moved [north] in the Paran Desert and set up their/our tents there.
Bundan sonra halk Haserot'tan ayrılıp Paran Çölü'nde konakladı.
