Numbers 12

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

Mirjam og Aron tog til Orde mod Moses i Anledning af den kusjitiske Kvinde, han havde ægtet - han havde nemlig ægtet en kusjitisk Kvinde -

And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.

og sagde: "Har HERREN kun talet til Moses? Mon han ikke også har talet til os?" Og HERREN hørte det.

(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)

Men den Mand Moses var såre sagtmodig, sagtmodigere end noget andet Menneske på Jorden.

And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.

Da sagde HERREN i det samme til Moses, Aron og Mirjam: "Gå alle tre ud til Åbenbaringsteltet!" Og de gik alle tre derud.

And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.

Men HERREN steg ned i Skystøtten og stillede sig ved Indgangen til Teltet og kaldte på Aron og Mirjam, og de gik begge derud.

And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

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.

My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

Anderledes er det med min Tjener Moses: han er tro i hele mit Hus;

With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant 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?"

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.

Og HERRENs Vrede blussede op imod dem, og han gik bort.

And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

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.

And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

Da sagde Aron til Moses: "Ak, Herre, lad os dog ikke undgælde for den Synd, vi i Dårskab begik!

Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.

Lad hende dog ikke blive som et dødfødt Barn, hvis Kød er halvt fortæret, når det kommer ud af Moders Liv!"

And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.

Moses råbte da til HERREN og sagde: "Ak, gør hende dog rask igen!"

And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received 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."

And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

Da blev Mirjam udelukket fra Lejren i syv Dage, og Folket brød ikke op, før Mirjam atter var optaget.

And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.

Så brød Folket op fra Hazerot og slog Lejr i Parans Ørken.
