Numbers 12
1 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had 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 They said, “Has Yahweh spoken only with Moses? Has he not spoken also with us?” Now Yahweh heard what they said.
og sagde: "Har HERREN kun talet til Moses? Mon han ikke også har talet til os?" Og HERREN hørte det.
3 Now the man Moses was very humble, humbler than anyone else on earth.
Men den Mand Moses var såre sagtmodig, sagtmodigere end noget andet Menneske på Jorden.
4 Right away Yahweh spoke to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam: “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” So the three of them 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 Then Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud. He stood at the entrance to the tent and called Aaron and Miriam. They both came forward.
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 Yahweh said, “Now listen to my words. When a prophet of mine is with you, I will reveal myself to him in visions and speak to him in dreams.
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 My servant Moses is not like that. He is faithful in all my house.
Anderledes er det med min Tjener Moses: han er tro i hele mit Hus;
8 I speak to Moses directly, not with visions or riddles. He sees my form. So why are you unafraid 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 Yahweh's anger burned against them, and then he left them.
Og HERRENs Vrede blussede op imod dem, og han gik bort.
10 The cloud rose from over the tent, and Miriam was suddenly leprous—she was as white as snow. When Aaron turned toward Miriam, he saw that she had leprosy.
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 Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my master, please do not hold this sin against us. We have spoken foolishly, and we have sinned.
Da sagde Aron til Moses: "Ak, Herre, lad os dog ikke undgælde for den Synd, vi i Dårskab begik!
12 Please do not let her be like a dead newborn whose flesh is half consumed when it emerges from 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 So Moses called out to Yahweh. He said, “Please heal her, God, please.”
Moses råbte da til HERREN og sagde: "Ak, gør hende dog rask igen!"
14 Yahweh said to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face, she would be disgraced for seven days. Shut her outside the camp for seven days. After that bring her 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 So Miriam was shut outside the camp for seven days. The people did not journey until she had returned to the camp.
Da blev Mirjam udelukket fra Lejren i syv Dage, og Folket brød ikke op, før Mirjam atter var optaget.
16 After that, the people journeyed from Hazeroth and camped in the wilderness of Paran.
Så brød Folket op fra Hazerot og slog Lejr i Parans Ørken.
