4 Mojzes 12
1 Mirjam in Aron pa sta govorila zoper Mojzesa zaradi etiopske ženske, ki jo je poročil, kajti poročil je etiopsko žensko.
Miriam and Aaron were critical of Moses because of his Ethiopian wife—he'd married an Ethiopian woman.
2 Rekla sta: »Je Gospod resnično govoril samo po Mojzesu? Mar ni govoril tudi po nama?« In Gospod je to slišal.
“Is it only through Moses that the Lord speaks?” they asked. “Doesn't he speak through us too?” The Lord heard all this.
3 (Torej mož Mojzes je bil zelo krotak, nad vsemi ljudmi, ki so bili na obličju zemlje.)
Moses was a very humble man, more than anyone else on earth.
4 Gospod je nenadoma spregovoril Mojzesu, Aronu in Mirjam: »Vi trije, pridite ven k šotorskemu svetišču skupnosti.« In ti trije so prišli ven.
All of a sudden the Lord called for Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, telling them, “The three of you, come to the Tent of Meeting.” The three of them did so.
5 Gospod je prišel dol v oblačnem stebru in stopil k vratom šotorskega svetišča in poklical Arona in Mirjam, in oba sta prišla naprej.
The Lord came down in a pillar of cloud and stood in the entrance to the Tent. He called Aaron and Miriam and they came forward.
6 Rekel je: »Poslušajta torej moje besede: ›Če je med vami prerok, se mu bom jaz, Gospod, dal spoznati v videnju in mu govoril v sanjah.
“Now listen to my words, he told them. If you had prophets, I the Lord would reveal myself to them in visions; I would communicate with them in dreams.
7 Moj služabnik Mojzes pa ni tak, on je zvest v vsej moji hiši.
But it's not like this with my servant Moses, who of all my people is the one who is faithful.
8 Z njim bom govoril od ust do ust, celó vidno, ne pa v skrivnostnih govorih, in gledal bo Gospodovo podobnost. Zakaj se torej nista bala govoriti proti mojemu služabniku Mojzesu?‹«
I talk to him personally, face to face. I speak plainly, not in riddles. He sees the likeness of the Lord. So why weren't you afraid when you criticized my servant Moses?”
9 Gospodova jeza je bila vneta zoper njiju in je odšel.
The Lord was angry with them, and he left.
10 Oblak je odšel od šotorskega svetišča in glej, Mirjam je postala gobava, bela kakor sneg. Aron pa je pogledal na Mirjam in glej, bila je gobava.
As the cloud rose above the Tent, Miriam's skin suddenly turned white with leprosy. Aaron turned to look and saw that she had leprosy.
11 Aron je rekel Mojzesu: »Ojoj, moj gospod, rotim te, ne položi greha na naju, v čemer sva storila nespametno in v čemer sva grešila.
He said to Moses, “My lord, please don't punish us for this sin that we've so stupidly committed.
12 Naj ona ne bo kakor nekdo, [ki je] mrtev, katerega meso je na pol použito, ko prihaja iz maternice svoje matere.«
Please don't let her become like a stillborn baby whose flesh is already decaying when they're born!”
13 Mojzes je klical h Gospodu, rekoč: »Ozdravi jo torej, oh Bog, rotim te.«
Moses called out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!”
14 Gospod je rekel Mojzesu: »Če bi njen oče zgolj pljunil v njen obraz, ali ne bi bila sedem dni osramočena? Naj bo sedem dni zaprta izven tabora in potem naj bo ponovno sprejeta.«
But the Lord replied to Moses, “If her father had spit in her face wouldn't she have been disgraced for seven days? Keep her in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and then she can be taken back in.”
15 Mirjam je bila sedem dni zaprta izven tabora in ljudstvo se ni odpravilo, dokler Mirjam ni bila ponovno privedena nazaj.
Miriam was kept in isolation outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until she was taken back in.
16 Potem se je ljudstvo odpravilo iz Haceróta in se utaborilo v Paránski divjini.
Then the people left Hazeroth and set up camp in the Desert of Paran.
