Numbers 12

1 And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses, on account of the Cushite woman whom he had taken, —for, a Cushite woman, had he taken.

Musa telah mengambil seorang wanita Kus menjadi istrinya, dan hal itu dijadikan alasan oleh Miryam dan Harun untuk mencela Musa.

2 And they said: Is it only and solely with Moses, that Yahweh hath spoken? With us also, hath he not spoken? And Yahweh heard it.

Kata mereka, "Apakah melalui Musa saja TUHAN berbicara? Bukankah melalui kita juga Ia berbicara?" TUHAN mendengar apa yang mereka katakan.

3 Now, the man Moses, was patient, exceedingly, —above all the sons of earth, who were on the face of the ground.

Musa adalah orang yang sangat rendah hati, melebihi semua orang yang hidup di bumi ini.

4 Then said Yahweh suddenly, unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting. And they three went out.

Tiba-tiba TUHAN berkata kepada Musa, Harun dan Miryam, "Kamu bertiga pergilah ke Kemah-Ku." Lalu mereka pergi ke situ

5 Then Yahweh came down in a pillar of cloud, and stood at the entrance of the tent, —and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both went forth.

dan TUHAN turun dalam tiang awan. TUHAN berdiri di pintu Kemah-Nya dan memanggil Harun serta Miryam. Kedua orang itu maju,

6 Then said he Hear, I beseech you my words. When ye have your prophet, As Yahweh in a vision, will I make myself known, unto him; In a dream, will I speak with him.

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 Not so, my servant Moses, —In all my house, trusty, is he:

Tetapi tidak begitu dengan hamba-Ku Musa. Dialah orang yang setia di antara umat-Ku.

8 Mouth to mouth, do I speak with him And plainly—not in dark sayings, And the form of Yahweh, doth he discern, —Wherefore then, were ye not afraid to speak against my servant—against 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 the anger of Yahweh kindled upon them and he departed.

TUHAN marah sekali kepada mereka berdua, dan Ia pergi.

10 And, when, the cloud, removed from off the tent, —lo! Miriam, leprous, like snow! And Aaron turned unto Miriam and lo! …leprous!

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 Then said Aaron unto Moses, —Oh my lord, do not I beseech thee lay upon us sin, although we have made ourselves foolish, and although we have sinned.

berkatalah ia kepada Musa, "Tolonglah, Tuanku, jangan biarkan kami disiksa karena dosa yang kami buat dalam kebodohan kami.

12 Let her not, I beseech thee, remain like the still-born, —which when it is born of its mother, the half of its flesh is consumed.

Jangan biarkan dia menjadi seperti bayi yang lahir sudah mati, dengan dagingnya setengah busuk."

13 Then Moses made outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —O GOD, I beseech thee grant healing. I beseech thee unto her.

Maka berserulah Musa kepada TUHAN, "Ya Allah, saya mohon, sembuhkanlah dia!"

14 And Yahweh said unto Moses: If, her own father, had, but spat, in her face, would she not, have acknowledged the shame for seven days? Let her shut herself up for seven days, outside the camp, and afterwards, let her be received 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 So Miriam shut herself up, outside the camp, for seven days, —and, the people, set not forward, until Miriam had been received back.

Lalu Miryam dikeluarkan dari perkemahan selama tujuh hari, dan bangsa itu tidak pindah dari situ sampai Miryam diperbolehkan kembali ke perkemahan.

16 Then afterwards, did the people set forward from Hazeroth, and encamped in the desert of Paran.

Kemudian mereka meninggalkan Hazerot dan berkemah di padang gurun Paran.
