Numbers 12
1 And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, because of his wife, an Ethiopian,
Musa telah mengambil seorang wanita Kus menjadi istrinya, dan hal itu dijadikan alasan oleh Miryam dan Harun untuk mencela Musa.
2 and they said: “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses? Has he not also spoken similarly to us?” And when the Lord had heard this,
Kata mereka, "Apakah melalui Musa saja TUHAN berbicara? Bukankah melalui kita juga Ia berbicara?" TUHAN mendengar apa yang mereka katakan.
3 (for Moses was a man exceedingly meek, beyond all the men who were living upon the earth)
Musa adalah orang yang sangat rendah hati, melebihi semua orang yang hidup di bumi ini.
4 immediately he spoke to him, and to Aaron and Miriam, “Go out, you three only, to the tabernacle of the covenant.” And when they had gone out,
Tiba-tiba TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, Harun dan Miryam, "Kamu bertiga pergilah ke Kemah-Ku." Lalu mereka pergi ke situ
5 the Lord descended in a column of cloud, and he stood at the entrance of the tabernacle, calling to Aaron and Miriam. And when they had advanced,
dan TUHAN turun dalam tiang awan. TUHAN berdiri di pintu Kemah-Nya dan memanggil Harun serta Miryam. Kedua orang itu maju,
6 he said to them: “Listen to my words. If there will be among you a prophet of the Lord, I will appear to him in a vision, or I will speak to him through a dream.
dan TUHAN berkata, "Dengarlah kata-kata-Ku ini! Jika di antara kamu ada seorang nabi, Aku menyatakan diri-Ku kepadanya dalam penglihatan-pengl dan berbicara dengan dia dalam mimpi.
7 But it is not so with my servant Moses, who is the most faithful in all my house.
Tetapi tidak begitu dengan hamba-Ku Musa. Dialah orang yang setia di antara umat-Ku.
8 For I speak with him mouth to mouth, and plainly. And not through enigmas and figures does he perceive the Lord. Therefore, why were you not afraid to disparage my servant Moses?”
Dan Aku berbicara dengan dia berhadapan muka, secara jelas dan tidak dengan teka-teki. Bahkan rupa-Ku pun sudah dilihatnya! Mengapa kamu berani melawan Musa, hamba-Ku itu?"
9 And being angry against them, he went away.
TUHAN marah sekali kepada mereka berdua, dan Ia pergi.
10 Likewise, the cloud which was over the tabernacle withdrew. And behold, Miriam appeared to be white with a leprosy, like snow. And when Aaron had looked upon her, and he had seen the spreading of the leprosy,
Ketika awan itu meninggalkan Kemah TUHAN, tampaklah Miryam kena penyakit kulit yang berbahaya; kulitnya putih seperti kapas. Ketika Harun berpaling kepada Miryam dan melihat bahwa ia sudah kena penyakit itu,
11 he said to Moses: “I beg you, my lord, not to impose upon us this sin, which we have committed foolishly.
berkatalah ia kepada Musa, "Tolonglah, Tuanku, jangan biarkan kami disiksa karena dosa yang kami buat dalam kebodohan kami.
12 Do not let this one be like one who is dead, or like an abortion that has been cast from the womb of her mother. Behold, half of her flesh is already consumed by leprosy.”
Jangan biarkan dia menjadi seperti bayi yang lahir sudah mati, dengan dagingnya setengah busuk."
13 And Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “O God, I beg you: heal her.”
Maka berserulah Musa kepada TUHAN, "Ya Allah, saya mohon, sembuhkanlah dia!"
14 And the Lord answered him: “If her father had spit on her face, should she not have been filled with shame for at least seven days? Let her be separated, outside the camp, for seven days, and after that, she will be called back.”
TUHAN menjawab, "Andaikata mukanya diludahi ayahnya, bukankah selama tujuh hari ia harus menanggung malu? Singkirkanlah dia dari perkemahan selama tujuh hari, dan sesudah itu ia boleh masuk kembali."
15 And so Miriam was excluded from the camp for seven days. And the people did not move from that place, until Miriam was called back.
Lalu Miryam dikeluarkan dari perkemahan selama tujuh hari, dan bangsa itu tidak pindah dari situ sampai Miryam diperbolehkan kembali ke perkemahan.
16 And the people set out from Hazeroth, and they pitched their tents in the desert of Paran.
Kemudian mereka meninggalkan Hazerot dan berkemah di padang gurun Paran.
