Brojevi 12
1 I stadoše vikati Marija i Aron na Mojsija radi žene Madijanke, kojom se oženi, jer se oženi Madijankom.
[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.
2 I rekoše: zar je samo preko Mojsija govorio Gospod? nije li govorio i preko nas? I to èu Gospod.
3 A Mojsije bješe èovjek vrlo krotak mimo sve ljude na zemlji.
[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].
4 I odmah reèe Gospod Mojsiju i Aronu i Mariji: doðite vas troje u šator od sastanka. I otidoše njih troje.
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.
5 Tada siðe Gospod u stupu od oblaka, i stade na vratima od šatora. I viknu Arona i Mariju, i doðoše oboje.
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.
6 I reèe im: èujte sada rijeèi moje: prorok kad je meðu vama, ja æu mu se Gospod javljati u utvari i govoriæu s njim u snu.
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.
7 Ali nije taki moj sluga Mojsije, koji je vjeran u svem domu mojem.
But that is not the way I speak to my servant Moses. I trust that he will lead my people [well].
8 Njemu govorim iz usta k ustima, i on me gleda doista, a ne u tami niti u kakvoj prilici Gospodnjoj. Kako se dakle ne pobojaste vikati na slugu mojega, na Mojsija?
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!”
9 I gnjev se Gospodnji raspali na njih, i on otide.
Yahweh was very angry with Miriam and Aaron, and he left.
10 I oblak se podiže sa šatora; i gle, Marija bješe gubava, bijela kao snijeg. I Aron pogleda Mariju, a ona gubava.
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.
11 Tada reèe Aron Mojsiju: gospodaru, molim te, ne meæi na nas grijeha ovoga, jer ludo uèinismo i zgriješismo.
Aaron said to Moses/me, “My master, please do not punish us for this sin that we have foolishly committed.
12 Nemoj da ova bude kao mrtvo dijete, kojemu je meso pola trulo kad izlazi iz utrobe matere svoje.
Do not allow Miriam to be like a baby that is already dead when it is born, whose flesh is already half decayed!”
13 I vapi Mojsije ka Gospodu govoreæi: Bože, molim ti se, iscijeli je.
So Moses/I cried out to Yahweh, saying, “God, I plead with you to heal her!”
14 A Gospod odgovori Mojsiju: da joj je otac njezin pljunuo u lice, ne bi li se stidjela sedam dana? Neka bude odluèena sedam dana izvan okola, a poslije neka bude opet primljena.
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.”
15 Tako bi Marija odluèena izvan okola sedam dana; i narod ne poðe odande dokle Marija ne bi opet primljena.
So they sent her outside the camp for seven days. (The people/We) did not move [to another location] until she returned.
16 A potom poðe narod od Asirota, i stadoše u pustinji Faranskoj.
But after [she returned], they/we left Hazeroth and moved [north] in the Paran Desert and set up their/our tents there.
